Renato Snatched and Hummels returns to Bayern

It’s been a busy morning in Munich as the German powerhouse (or should that be powerhaus) known as Bayern have been showing their might again. This time it’s off the pitch as they have signed not one but two Summer transfer targets.

As reported last week with the news that Mats Hummels was set to return from Borussia Dortmund to Bayern Munich, that deal had to be announced by the Dortmund club due to the laws on PLC’s in Germany and any news that may effect the share price (transfers, sackings etc) have to be announced publicly

This move has now been completed with the Centre Back set to officially return to Bayern after this Summer’s European Championships. The fee is believed to be around £27m, although a decent fee it must be galling for Dortmund to lose another player to their nearest rivals. Hummels will now link up with former teammates Robert Lewandowski and Mario Gotze

Another team that will be ruing Bayern’s transfer efficiency this Morning will be Manchester United who have had the potential signing of Benfica wonderkid Renato Sanches stolen from under their noses. On Monday United’s Ed Woodward went on record to say that a move for Sanches was very near completion but 24hrs later and it couldn’t be any further from the case

The 18 year old has signed on a 5 year contract and again the fee is believed to be £27m, taking Bayern’s spending to over £50m before I’ve even had time to have my lunch. If that’s how you celebrate winning the Bundesliga then I would imagine that another one will be arriving by May 2017.

Great news for Bayern fans after this double capture but for the rest of Germany, it’s a case of the more things change then the more things stay the same. Weakening your rivals and making yourself even stronger in the process. It’s going to be even harder to stop the Bavarian giants next season.
