The hitherto Leipzig midfielder, Marcel Sabitzer, has landed at Bayern to reinforce Julian Nagelsmann’s project in exchange for 15 million euros. Its great ability to arrive from the second row and determination in the three-quarter zone make it an ideal profile for the Bavarian project.
The Austrian, who was undoubtedly one of RB Leipizig’s best players, has followed in the footsteps of Dayot Upamecano and Nagelsmann himself and has left Leipzig to join the Bayern project. In his place has arrived Ilaix Moriba, who has refused to sign the renewal with FC Barcelona and will continue his career in German football.

Bayern, top favorite in Germany
As has become customary in the last decade, Bayern are once again the top favorites to prolong their hegemony in the Bundesliga. The arrival of Julian Nagelsmann to the bench and that of Players like Upamecano or Sabitzer reinforce the sporting project and make it more reliable than Borussia Dortmund or RB Leipzig, the main alternatives.
After winning all possible titles in 2020, as Barcelona did in 2009, Bayern wants to be enlarging its name in the history of German and European football with a new Bundesliga title, the great priority, and improve their role in the Champions League.
