Here's the scoop, mates! Football titans FC Bayern Munich are shaking things up, bringing in fresh faces for the Club World Cup in the US. They've secured deals for midfielder Tom Bischof and defender Jonathan Tah, both confirming the news last evening.
Schicker Speaks: "All Parties Satisfied"
Andreas Schicker, Hoffenheim's managing director, said, "We've struck a deal with FC Bayern Munich that pleases everyone." Similar arrangements have been made with national star Tah, who's headed to Florida with Bayern after the Nations League Final Four.
"I'm pumped. I can't wait. It's a new phase for me since I'm joining a new team," Tah shared in a post-match ARD interview following Germany's 0:2 loss against France in Stuttgart.
Tah's Joining Munich on a Free Roll
Tah, previously with Bayer Leverkusen, will make the move to Munich on a free transfer, thanks to FIFA's extra transfer window. With this rule, both Tah and Bischof will be eligible for the Club World Cup from the get-go, unlike if the rule hadn't been introduced, where Tah's debut wouldn't be possible until at least July 1st, potentially missing a quarter-final match.
Leroy Sané's Status Unclear
The situation with leather-handed winger Leroy Sané remains murky, though, as his Bayern contract expires by month's end. According to transfer guru Fabrizio Romano, Sané is reportedly making his way to the Club World Cup alongside the team, but a final decision on whether he'll stay or sign an extension hasn't been made yet.
Bayern to Touch Down in the US on June 11
The Bavarians will depart Munich for Florida on June 11 and hunker down at their base camp. They'll open their campaign against Auckland City in Cincinnati on June 15, playing Boca Juniors from Argentina and Benfica Lisbon in other group matches.
Borussia Dortmund, the second German team in the 32-club tournament, will only hop on a plane to the US on June 16, with their initial match scheduled for June 17th.
