5 Players Bayern Must Sign To Win The Champions League

With the loss of Bastian Schweinsteiger to Manchester United, and with Pep Guardiola confirming club captain, Philipp Lahm, will be returning to right-back this year at least as cover for Rafinha the arrival of a new holding Midfielder should be on the cards at Bayern. 

Nemanja Matic played the holding role for Chelsea last year, and the Serbian international was phenomenal in the Blues’ march to the title. Tackling and distribution was the former Benfica man’s game last year, mopping up attacks before letting the likes of Hazard and Costa run riot. With ridiculous discipline allowing Cesc Fabregas to roam forward, the 26 year old would be a fantastic buy for Bayern, and would slot in perfectly.
