With Dayot Upamecano (RB Leipzig), FC Bayern Munich has already presented its first new signing for the coming season, which Omar Richards from Reading FC will probably follow soon. The transfer activities of the record champions with these two commitments are certainly not yet over.

Bayern officials keep their eyes and ears hoping in different directions, but they also have some specific candidates in mind. According to the Spanish “Mundo Deportivo”, this should include the only 18-year-old Pedri from FC Barcelona, who is one of the few bright spots in what the Catalans consider to be a messed up season and has long since become a regular in the star ensemble of coach Ronald Koeman .
The youngster gets along brilliantly with Lionel Messi on the pitch and has more than hinted in the past few months that he has what it takes to have a great career. This is precisely why Barca are unlikely to show much interest in relinquishing the youngster, whose contract, which expires in 2022, can be extended by the club for two more years by option.
It can therefore be safely assumed that the Bavarians, who, according to the “Mundo Deportivo”, were supposed to have offered 40 million euros for Pedri last summer, would also miss out on a new attempt.
