The 24-year-old joined Monaco from Reims in 2020 over a €13m transfer fee and a five-year deal. Now, however, Telefoot is reporting that Bayern Munich could be back in on the 24-year-old: - Overall, Bayern Munich dominated the match and did exactly what it needed to do. After paying almost €82 million in January 2022, the Bianconeri have already identified Vlahovic’s successor, who at the age of 23 could make the leap from Juventus to a major European club. - On the day, Matthijs de Ligt was excellent and formed a superb pairing with Benjamin Pavard. That was a pretty picturesque play from the duo. - Müller’s subsequent assist to a Musiala was equally as impressive. With the possible departure of Ángel Di María to MLS, Juve could also release Dusan Vlahovic, as reported by Corriere dello Sport . - Coman would also work with Müller for a spectacular goal.

The [Julian Brandt](https://theathletic.com/football/player/julian-brandt-FDoqODePVXpCSnFX/)-backed 1-0 at Hoffenheim was precisely the kind of game they would have drawn in recent weeks but these days, they hold out for three points and also benefit from the stroke of luck any serious title contender needs. “Both the push and the contact on the ground weren’t enough for a penalty,” the official explained later. “We’re playing for the ‘meisterschaft’ (championship). But Nagelsmann will do well to pay attention to the not-so-subtle subtext of Muller’s appraisal, which was really a plea to go back to the tried-and-trusted formula of the last decade.
