Carlo Ancelotti's first project at Bayern Munich
The first project of Carlo Ancelotti at Bayern Munich has ended with the conquest of the Bundesliga, the elimination in the semifinals of the German Cup, and in the quarterfinals of the Champions League. And also with the retirements of Xabi Alonso and Philipp Lahm, so there is a feeling within the Bavarian team of a kind of end of cycle.
This club has continued to dominate the German championship, but after these events, it has been forced to renew itself. And we are seeing this in their first signings, since if we count the acquisition of Kingsley Coman (21 years old) from Juventus Turin, this club has closed 5 operations.
Of them, only Sebastian Rudy's (27 years old) has been free, as he arrives from Hoffenheim. And curiously, he is the oldest signing of the German team because Serge Gnabry (21), Corentin Tolisso (22), and Niklas Süle (21) are still young talents who have begun to prove their worth, but have a great future projection ahead of them.
In total, the Germans have made an investment of €91.5 million in these 5 players, which serves for now to renew and rejuvenate a squad that, after the two illustrious retirements mentioned above, needed new blood with renewed ambitions.
