Bayern Munich is on the verge of securing the services of Raphael Guerreiro, a player who has attracted interest from several Premier League clubs including Arsenal, Aston Villa, Newcastle United, and Leeds United. The Portuguese star’s imminent move to the Bundesliga champions has prompted the familiar adage, “if you can’t beat them, join them.”
Just weeks after Borussia Dortmund’s heartbreaking collapse on the final day of the season, relinquishing the Bundesliga trophy to their arch-rivals from Bavaria, Guerreiro seems poised to follow in the footsteps of Mats Hummels, Mario Gotze, and Robert Lewandowski.
This transfer would see him trade the perpetual bridesmaid status of Dortmund for a Bayern side basking in the glory of their tenth consecutive domestic title triumph.
Recent reports, as per Dean Jones and The Sun, have linked Guerreiro with a potential move to Arsenal, Manchester City, Newcastle United, and Aston Villa. However, Leeds United’s relegation and subsequent demolition by Tottenham Hotspur in May have effectively ended any hopes of luring the talented Portuguese to Elland Road.
In typical Bayern Munich fashion, the German giants have resumed their customary practice of poaching talents from their domestic rivals. They have successfully snatched key players from both Borussia Dortmund and RB Leipzig, with Konrad Laimer also set to join Guerreiro in making the switch.
Karl-Heinz Rummenigge, now a board member at the Allianz Arena, expressed his satisfaction with the impending acquisitions, stating, “I think we have good players now with Guerreiro and Laimer.” Guerreiro’s contract with Borussia Dortmund is set to expire at the end of this month.
Guerreiro’s impressive performances during the 2022/23 season, where he scored six goals and provided 12 assists, have further enhanced his reputation. His versatility, capable of playing at left-back or further forward in midfield, will undoubtedly bolster Bayern’s squad depth and tactical flexibility.
However, Guerreiro’s arrival raises questions about the future of Alphonso Davies. Real Madrid, who snatched David Alaba from Bayern in 2021, are reportedly interested in the Canadian prodigy. Davies’ agent, speaking to Fabrizio Romano, refused to confirm or deny any potential transfer, stating, “Right now we haven’t made any decisions on anything. (Davies) is part of the Bayern team.
We can’t confirm anything, and we can’t deny anything.” The agent further added, “I’ve always been a big fan of Real Madrid, as a fan in general, you know. 14 Champions Leagues. It makes you proud when you see someone you manage linked with Real Madrid.”
As of now, no concrete offers or discussions have taken place regarding Davies’ potential departure from Bayern Munich. The intricacies of any transfer involve the willingness of one club to sell, the initiation of talks between the clubs, and the player’s desire to leave. The situation remains uncertain, and it remains to be seen whether Real Madrid will make a move for the highly-rated Canadian talent.
Bayern Munich’s imminent capture of Raphael Guerreiro highlights their relentless pursuit of success and their knack for acquiring top talents from their rivals. The Portuguese international’s arrival will undoubtedly strengthen their squad, providing depth and versatility.
Meanwhile, the future of Alphonso Davies remains uncertain, with rumors linking him to a potential move to Real Madrid. The transfer window promises excitement and intrigue as these stories continue to develop.
