Despite possessing a formidable roster, Bayern Munich persists in its quest to secure a defensive midfielder. Reports suggest that de Jong has once again emerged on the club’s radar, although the feasibility of securing his services for the upcoming summer remains uncertain.

The significant salary demands of the 26-year-old make an immediate transfer to Bavaria unlikely at the outset of the forthcoming season.
