Opinion: Bayern Munich hurt by lack of star power at striker (Bavarian Football Works)

The club needs to find their star striker this summer, because Eric-Maxim Choupo-Moting doesn't cut it long-term.

For me, Choupo is exactly the same quality of player that Claudio Pizarro was in his second stint with Bayern. Germany has also been struggling since the retirement of Miroslav Klose and Mario Gomez with no other forward being good enough to solidify that attack. One of the reasons why Thomas Müller has been one of the best players in the world over the last decade is that he was always able to flex off to find space off of forwards who were good enough to force teams into a minimum of man-marking plus another defender shadow-marking them.

The team’s recent string of draws does not have the boss deterred, but watching it play out is still rough, even for the CEO. Three consecutive draws — all in winnable games — shows that not everything is in sync in Bavaria.

Bayern Munich: Bundesliga Crisis Has Shades Of 1978 (Forbes)

The Bundesliga table is tight at the top, with just five points separating first-placed Bayern Munich and sixth-place Frankfurt.

But there is also a real weakness in the squad at the moment that will not be fixed on deadline day on Tuesday, and unlike most seasons, the challenge is coming not from one but multiple clubs. Leipzig, in the meantime, has recently taken points off Bayern and still plays the Rekordmeister a second time. In Randal Kolo Muani, the Eagles have one of the most exciting strikers in European football. Those two coaches might be the best in Germany at the moment. [invested big in the summer spending €145.5 million ($157.69 million) on new players](https://www.transfermarkt.us/fc-bayern-munchen/transfers/verein/27/saison_id/2022). “But of course, there's already a lot at stake.” The Bayern boss also added that Bayern is now under pressure to improve in their upcoming DFB Pokal game against Mainz. Sporting director Hasan Salihamidzic, in fact, has stressed that Bayern Munich will not make any new signings from now until Tuesday evening when the Bundesliga transfer window closes. In that pack of six teams, second-placed Union Berlin, third-placed RB Leipzig and fourth-placed Dortmund, and, of course, Frankfurt have already taken points off the Rekordmeister this season. On Saturday, the Rekordmeister gave away a 1-0 lead against Frankfurt and was ultimately lucky to walk away with a point. But the truth is also that there are some systemic issues at the club. "We definitely have to get better results, but crisis is a very hard word,” Julian Nagelsmann said after the Frankfurt game to the Aktuelle Sportstudio. Although unlikely, a fourth-place finish is not beyond the realm of possibility this season.

The Eintracht Frankfurt Frenchmen is highly sought after and isn't closed off to a future move to the Rekordmeister.

But at the moment, he is 100% focused on Eintracht Frankfurt, we have a lot of respect for the club.” From Bayern manager Julian Nagelsmann’s perspective, Kolo Muani could prove to be his quintessential versatile number nine — but for now, he’s just one possibility of many. Eintracht Frankfurt and France international Randal Kolo Muani has quickly made himself one of Europe’s most highly sought after strikers with his performances this season for both club and country.

Now a little door is opening: PSV Eindhoven is interested in the 29-year-old winger. It’s understood Rangers want to secure the 20-year-old on a permanent agreement once his loan deal expires in the summer (The Athletic, 25 January). Here is what we have on tap for this episode: ⚫️ [@SPORT1] [January 29, 2023] [#BVB]- As reported, Thorgan Hazard is not in the squad today and should be gone this winter. In this podcast, we look at the following: According to further information, this also includes the clothing and equipment. Bayern Munich hold a buy-back option for Malik Tillman if Rangers opt to make his loan move from the Allianz Arena permanent, according to The Athletic. Three points from three games means Bayern’s challengers are all catching up and we have a Bundesliga title race on our hands!
