5 Players Bayern Must Sign To Win The Champions League

With Thomas Muller possibly off to Manchester United this summer, another striker to play second fiddle to Robert Lewandowski will need to be brought in. You would think that most strikers would jump at the chance to join the German giants but, some strikers could be more willing than most, even with being behind Lewandowski in the pecking order.

Napoli won’t be competing in the Champions League this year and former Real Madrid striker, Gonzalo Higuain presumably won’t be overly thrilled with Europa League football, and has already requested a move according to The Express. The Argentinian has had to compete for places before, with Karim Benzema his main rival at Real, but, if Bayern came looking,  it might be too big an opportunity to turn down.
