Bayern and the Polish striker have parted ways with the Warsaw native headed for Barcelona. In Munich, his departure leaves an important gap, but also a good liquidity that requires a wise reinvestment to strengthen the team.

Speaking to the German press at the team's first presentation event of the year, Oliver Kahn, former goalkeeper and now Bayern’s sporting director, assured that the Munich club will enter this season's transfer market with a mission. "Since Robert's transfer fee is very high, this gives us more opportunities for further action in the transfer market," said the German.

The German said that both Hasan Salihamidzic, the sporting director, and Julian Nagelsmann, the Bavarians' coach, have taken a first-hand look at these opportunities. Both agree that Matthijs De Ligt has to be the first reinforcement.

The signing of the center-back raises the bar in a window that is notable for the number of signings with a superstar like Sadio Mané and two more youngsters of very good level like Noussair Mazraoui and Ryan Gravenberch. Between the four of them they have the chance to fill Lewandowski’s void.

De Ligt will join Bayern this summer

The 22-year-old Juventus center-back is the big target this summer. According to AS, the signing is practically closed with an agreement of 70 million euros plus 10 million euros in variables with Juventus. The young Dutchman arrives to join a project in which he wants to be important and does so for the next five years.
