Please no. Bayern needs an actual striker. While they could work a false nine set-up, they'll run into some of the same issues they ran into this past-season and that the NT does--far too easy to bottle up their attack in the space between the defensive and mid-lines where all their attacking threats like to play and force them to play from the wings. He'd be better as the 10, but already have Musiala and Müller and one would have to think they'll be looking at Wirtz next summer.Please, outbid us Bayern. For the love of God outbid us! As @KJS14 mentioned, I have no problem signing Kai if it was closer to his actual value of being a 40-million-pound player, but Chelsea wanting 80 million is effin' hilarious.
Supposedly Arsenal had an 80 million pound bid rejected for Rice and will come in with a 100 million pound bid. I much rather pay 100 million for Rice than Dodgers Blood Money FC doing the same amount for Caceido. Then Arsenal can trigger the buy-out clause for Zubimendi and we lit.
Honestly, if there is a club that can use Kai the most, it is Liverpool. They were the most successful with a false 9 Firmino and since he's gone, they replaced him with Nunez, who was definitely a dud in his first EPL season and is not a false 9 himself (still has immense potential though). Arsenal's best players are on the wings which could use a false 9, but I think Gabriel already fits that bill to a degree and is already better than Havertz at almost everything except finishing.Please no.

Firmino has been replaced by Gakpo as the false 9 guyHonestly, if there is a club that can use Kai the most, it is Liverpool.

It might have worked with Nagelsmann still there, as he had success with it previously, but I also sometimes just question the viability of it when not playing against certain types of opponents--teams that play with lower blocks and disciplined lines are just going to concede the possession and movement and unless you can string some nice passing sequences together you're going to be stuck with wing and cross play to break through it.Honestly, if there is a club that can use Kai the most, it is Liverpool.

That's after they signed him to be a midfield bloke...Firmino has been replaced by Gakpo as the false 9 guy
That role belongs to Gakpo now. Everyone is pretty happy about it. Kai is all yoursHonestly, if there is a club that can use Kai the most, it is Liverpool.

They signed him as a left winger and Darwin and a striker and realized they were better in each others positions. Funny how that worked outThat's after they signed him to be a midfield bloke...
I still would take another forward. Would like BarcolaLFC have two players for Firmino role (Gakpo, Jota) and one to have a different type of striker (Nunez) no need to have another striker even less to drop a significant amount at it when the midfield has been awful.
That is luxury signing. Fix the midfield and defense firstI still would take another forward. Would like Barcola
Of course, but they also have no one that can play on the right besides Salah and maybe Harvey Elliott. Team has a lot of holesThat is luxury signing. Fix the midfield and defense first
As I said, give me Güler at the ridiculous price of 17M as rumored and you have the alternative and eventual replacement to Mo Salah.Of course, but they also have no one that can play on the right besides Salah and maybe Harvey Elliott. Team has a lot of holes

Are we sure this guy is better than Broja?
not for the way Pep wants to play apparently.Kyle Walker could be moving to Bayern. Huge loss for City if true. He is one of the best defensive RB in the world.
Guler would be another Carvalho here. No position no path to minutesAs I said, give me Güler at the ridiculous price of 17M as rumored and you have the alternative and eventual replacement to Mo Salah.
Shiny new toysWe all knew that would happen with Broja. Same old, same old.
West Ham sniffed around him last season, hope they go back in for him.
He is WAY better than Carvalho and he is taylor made to play Salah's role. You just mentioned you wanted a forward to play on the right side and Güler is exactly that.Guler would be another Carvalho here. No position no path to minutes

Inter need cash badly, they’re in a terrible financial state (even with the UCL money).Really don't understand anyone contemplating meeting Chelsea's price for Havertz. As some of the Gooners here have said, they should be looking elsewhere.
Anyone who thinks Barella will be cheap should start pinching their pennies. Inter might need some cash, not entirely sure, but I think he just signed an extension with them and I would think he'd be upwards of 30% more than some of the figures I'm seeing. What's probably the biggest obstacle though, does the player want to swap Italy for say Newcastle (no disrespect to Newcastle).
