FC Bayern Muenchen Celebrate Winning The Bundesliga

Bayern Munich has had a great squad in the last few years. This squad has won them the Bundesliga title for six consecutive years in a row from 2012-13 to 2017-18. However the one title that they have not been able to win since 2012-13 is the Champions League.

This season too they reached the semi-finals, but were beaten by Real Madrid on 4-3 aggregate. Bayern have displayed that they have the ability to win titles but somehow the champions league trophy has eluded their grasp for the last few years.

These are the three signings which can help Bayern Munich to win the champions league.


#3 Ander Herrera

Herrera in action for United

Bayern Munich need a midfielder who can rotate the ball as well as get it back, when it is lost. With the retirement of Xabi Alonso last year, they haven't found a perfect replacement for him yet. There are also rumours that Arturo Vidal might leave Bayern Munich in the transfer window.

Therefore it is pertinent for Munich to look for a midfielder who can efficiently cover the role played by these two players. Ander Herrera is a good option for them. He has been pretty much warming the bench for Manchester United this season. Herrera has the hunger for the ball and has got a good vision.

Effectively his talent is getting wasted by sitting on the bench. His style of play has been compared with former United legend Paul Scholes. He would prove to be a pretty good buy for Munich.

#2 Mauro Icardi

SS Lazio v FC Inter - Serie A
Icardi

Mauro Icardi has played fabulously for Inter Milan this season. He has become the joint top scorer of Serie A this season with 29 goals. Icardi is quick and agile. He is both a physically strong striker aswell as a poacher. Icardi has scored 100 goals in total for Inter.

He is a shrewd tactician, Inter are going to get a lot of offers for such a quality player. Bayern should go for him in the transfer window as there is a possibility that Robert Lewandowski might leave in the summer. Lewandowski has been Bundesliga's top scorer this season with 29 goals.

He is likely to look for greener pastures and hence might leave Bayern in the transfer window. Icardi will perfectly complement Thomas Muller in the Bayern line-up. He will provide the perfect replacement for Robert Lewandowski, if he decides to leave.

#1 Ousmane Dembele

Barcelona v Real Sociedad - La Liga
Dembele

Barcelona had signed Dembele for 105 million euros from Borussia Dortmund last season. Great expectations were laid on him as he had replaced the outgoing Neymar.

Unfortunately in his first league start against Getafe, he injured his hamstring and was ruled out for four months.

He has found it difficult to get a regular place in the Barcelona starting lineup after returning from injury. He has got abundant talent and raw pace.

He also has got the ability to track back and help his defenders. Bayern need such a winger as both Robben and Ribbery have become more injury prone with time.

Hence there is no guarantee that these players will play for most of the season. Dembele will be a good buy as with his pace he will be able to overrun the opposition and can also provide a good ball in the box for Muller.
