Bayern Munich has moved quickly to finalize several transfers, whereas many other teams have waited for the 2024 European Championship to end before doing so. Before the Euros were over, Hiroki Itō, João Palhinha, and Michael Olise had all signed and been officially confirmed as new Bayern players, and Aleksandar Pavlovic and Josip Stanišić had arranged and signed new contracts rather swiftly.
What does Christoph Freund think of all this, as caught by @iMiaSanMia?
Overall, not much has happened thus far, perhaps as a result of the Euros. In the upcoming weeks, that will rise, according to Freund. Putting your team together as soon as feasible is usually a good idea. We’re relieved that we have everything under control and are not under duress. That was our main objective.
Freund does appear to view the transactions as priority transfers, as once again caught by @iMiaSanMia: “We wish to bolster the team. We were able to finalize transactions that we truly want thus far. We’ll see what happens in the upcoming weeks. For us, it was crucial that we finished a few ahead of schedule.
Well. If he continues to put in this type of effort, maybe we may anticipate seeing a dozen or so new additions in 2025.
