Bayern Munich open talks with http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Portugal-c2984 International Fabio Coentrao – Bundesliga news
According to reports in http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/SL-Benfica-c40542 in the upcoming summer transfer window.
After a forgettable 2010/11 Bundesliga campaign that will end trophy-less, the Bavarians are now looking to rebuild the side in order to have a strong say, both domestically and in Europe next season. With German International goalkeeper http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Manuel-Neuer-c23424 edging
closer to Munich from Schalke 04, it has now been suggested that the club is now holding negotiations with Benfica officials over the signing of left-back http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Fabio-c13152 Coentrao.
It has been reported that the Portuguese representatives travelled to Munich to discuss a potential transfer, however, a fee is yet to be agreed. It has been suggested that the Lisbon-based club is looking for a fee in the region of €30 million for the star
player, a figure that Bayern Munich might be unwilling to pay. However, after crashing out of UEFA Europa League earlier this month at the hands of Sporting Braga, the player is also keen on moving abroad. It has been further suggested that even a fee in the
region of €20 million might be enough to convince Benfica to let go of Coentrao.
Coentrao has long been linked with a move away from the club and Bayern Munich have reportedly been keeping tabs on the 23-year-old throughout the campaign. Signing the former Rio Ave man would definitely increase Bayern Munich’s threat down the left flank
as the Portuguese would complement http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/France-c2899 International, Franck Ribery. The possible arrival of the young defender might be the start of new arrivals at Allianz Arena, as Bayern Munich look to forge a strong squad for next season after the current team failed
to impress both in the Bundesliga and in Europe this season. Since joining Benfica from Rio Ave, Coentrao has made 50 appearances for the Águias and was a part of the Portuguese side that crashed out of the round-of-16 in the 2010 World Cup in http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/South-Africa-c757.
