Bayern Munich is always on the prowl for talent and might have unearthed a gem in 19-year-old Croatian Luka Hodak per 24sata (as captured by @iMiaSanMia):
Bayern have sent a scout to Hajduk Split’s games
against Slaven Belupo and against Osijek in order to watch Hajduk right-back Luka Hodak (19) live in action. Hodak, considered one of the most promising talents in the country, played 174 minutes in those two games and left a very good impression. It is not yet known whether Bayern have contacted Split and inquired about the price, but it’s certain that the player has caught their eye. Hodak is under contract until 2029.
Hodak would be a move for the future given how Konrad Laimer has locked down the starting job and Josip Stanišić figures to be a roving Swiss Army Knife across the backline. Sacha Boey also remains on the roster, but it is conceivable that the club will look to shop him in January or next summer.
Bayern Munich sputtered into the international break with a 2-2 draw against Union Berlin.
While it was tough watch at times, there is no reason to panic…right? Right?
Right — and let’s talk about why, plus more on the next edition of the Bavarian Podcast Works Show:
- The aftermath of Bayern Munich’s 2-2 draw with Union Berlin. How are fans feeling? Did Vincent Kompany go to the well one too many times? Was the team tired, uninspired, or both?
- Do Bayern Munich fans appreciate just how good Joshua Kimmich is?
- Dayot Upamecano is getting more suitors (Manchester United, Inter Milan, Liverpool, Paris Saint-Germain, Real Madrid) and things are not progressing with Bayern Munich. Are the obstacles too much to overcome? Should they be?
- Would Ibrahima Konaté be a good successor if Upamecano leaves?
- Jamal Musiala could take a little longer to get back.
