Gotta say I'm surprised with these rumors, especially as Laimer agreed a deal with us weeks/months ago.
I honestly don't know how good Rice is, never seen him in action from what I remember. But no matter what, we're definitely in need of a true defensive midfielder. Goretzka and Kimmich together just doesn't do the job and our backline is too vulnerable.

£95m for Rice is what I heard mentioned. This is what happens when you deal with PL clubs.
He's very good, but has never played for a top team. It's one of those where you wonder what the point is trying to go against PL teams and pay 30% more for a player than you have to. As we learned with Vlahovic.

Wouldn't 100M be a record signing for Bayern? By a lot? For Declan Rice?

News today is we are looking at Rice, whom I do not want, and Vlahovic or Kolo Muani.

I'm telling you, Brazzo didn't want Vlahovic because he was a Serb.

Pavard Out, too, it seems.

Karl-Heinz Rummenigge needed Brazzo out before he would return to Bayern Munich

With a plotline that you might see in a show like Succession, former Bayern Munich CEO Karl-Heinz Rummenigge — allegedly — had a requirement that former sporting director Hasan “Brazzo” Salihamidžić be relieved of his duties in order for Rummenigge to return to the club.
In a state of turmoil, Bayern Munich agreed to the alleged demand and now a new (yet old) regime is ruling at the Rekordmeister. Sport1 journalist Kerry Hau issued the explosive report, which was captured by @iMiaSanMia.
But why did Rummenigge have such an issue Salihamidžić? Not shockingly, it all led back to the now-infamous feud between the former sporting director and sextuple-winning coach Hansi Flick — which ultimately saw Flick leave in a very controversial decision:
Now, it will be a fresh start in the front office for Bayern Munich — albeit with some experienced veterans seeking to guide the club forward into its next generation.

With all this Rice stuff, I'd rather have Unai Vencedor for half the price.

Rummenigge is said to have insisted that, in order to come back, Salihamidžić has to go. Rummenigge fell out with Brazzo after his conflict with Hansi Flick. KHR hinted in April that he would only accept a role in the supervisory board if Salihamidžić is dismissed. Uli Hoeneß stood by Salihamidžić’s side during the trouble with Hansi Flick, but now after the turbulent season, he had no arguments left to give him another chance. Hoeneß ended up compromising and complying with Rummenigge’s wish.
Salihamidžić appeared to learn from his mistakes with Flick as he was more collaborative with both Julian Nagelsmann and Thomas Tuchel, but the damage that was done during that period might have been viewed as unreconcilable by Rummenigge.Now, it will be a fresh start in the front office for Bayern Munich — albeit with some experienced veterans seeking to guide the club forward into its next generation.

KHR back is a massive upgrade to Kahn and Brazzo though.
Kahn was never good enough as a CEO and Brazzo probably also shouldn't have the job back then. How was he qualified really? When you look at how our squad has been assembled over the recent years it's not really impressive
Many of the transfers are good enough individually, but most of them never really made that much of a difference. Lucas Hernandez is a good player, but he's way too injury prone and cost us 80 mio euros. Then you have Sane who can play like the best in the world at one match then having the worst stinker the next - zero consistency.
You got Mane who never really became the player we thought he would, Gravenberch never really made any difference too. Then you got Roca who was a big waste, Bouna Sarr, Nübel, Sabitzer, Cuisance. Upamecano so far also hasn't impressed. Pavard has been up and down. Good thing is we managed to offload most of these mediocre players again and earned on some of them.
Players that truly worked out has been De Ligt, Perisic, Goretzka to some extend and Gnabry to some extend and that's it. Perisic didn't stay, but was a good addition while he was here, Coutinho didn't stay but was also decent enough.
Many of these transfers might have worked better if the club was lead by more competent people at that time.
Now we need stability and a clear direction. Brazzo never really adressed the needs of the squad, he never signed a true CDM after Javi Martinez left and he didn't replace Lewandowski.
It's clear where we need to do something.

After Lucas Hernandy was injured at the WC, Brazzo and (Lucas') mom talk him out of retiring. If we sell him off to PSG after Brazzo is fired, what great business.

This guy cost us 80, he played 14 games in 30 years, he wanted out, we told him no, and we make 40 on the backend?
That's some De Beers shit.
