Bayern Munich aims to promote youth players from its Academy to the first team to reduce transfer costs.
"The Club World Cup helped me personally get to know the guys better. It would have been different with a normal summer pre-season. We were together in one place for a longer period of time - that helped me get to know everyone better. I feel very, very comfortable and have settled in really well," Tah said (as captured by @iMiaSanMia).
Barcelona's January transfer window has often been a mix of urgency, risk and opportunity. Unlike summer signings, winter arrivals are usually expected to deliver instantly, with little time to adapt. Over the years, this approach has produced very different outcomes at Camp Nou. Some January signings have changed seasons and lifted the mood around the club, while others have quietly faded away, leaving fans wondering what the plan really was.
Bayern II are in a real crisis at the moment. After winning 3 games in a row at the start of the season, the U-23s have won just one of their last 7 games (none in four) and are currently struggling in midtable. After a transfer offensive in the summer that clearly prioritized signing older players for immediate success, this season has to be viewed as a genuine disaster thus far.
