Egyptian superstar Salah has been linked with clubs around the world, from PSG to big-spending teams in the Saudi Pro League, but is being advised to keep Bayern in his thoughts. Any move to the Allianz Arena would see the prolific winger link up with England captain Kane.
WHAT DIETMAR HAMANN SAID
Former Liverpool and Bayern midfielder Dietmar Hamann has told : “Mohamed Salah to Bayern Munich would be very exciting. Bayern have Kingsley Coman, who hasn’t been the best recently, Leroy Sane looks set to leave the club, and the most impressive has been Michael Olise who signed last summer, so I think they need two or three wide players for next season.
“Just like bringing Harry Kane to the club, it would be hugely exciting to see Salah at Bayern but also for the Bundesliga to have a player like Salah. Even if it was just for one or two years, I would absolutely love to see it.”
AFPDID YOU KNOW?
Hamann added on the prospect of Dutch defender Van Dijk following Salah to Germany: “Virgil van Dijk to Bayern? There are not many teams that he wouldn’t improve. The longer the contract wait goes on the more offers he will have, there will be five or six clubs knocking on his door already.
“Bayern Munich have had a few issues defensively, but they're pretty solid at the moment. Having said that, if he’s available, it’ll be about if he sees himself in Munich or Milan or wherever. All big clubs including Bayern will have to see what’s possible because there are not many teams who wouldn't improve with him in the side.”
