The Bayern Munich has a plan activated for their left side. The replacement for Juan Bernat is on the way since the German club made the decision to do without the Spanish footballer, formerly of Valencia, next summer, just as he faces his last year of contract with the Bavarian team.
While during last season he played a secondary role on the wing, his influence was much greater than in the current season, where he has only played in 7 matches for a total of 540 minutes. A very modest amount for a Juan Bernat whose potential was much greater and at 25 years old, he would have run out of space in Munich. Added to this is the injury that has kept him out for much of the campaign and has not given him the opportunity to claim a place with all his strength.
Taking this as a precedent, and with potential offers that could come to the club from England, where the Valencian is highly valued, Bayern Munich would be working on a replacement that increases the level of the position. According to Kicker, Hasan Salihamidzic, director of sports at the club, has already initiated contacts with the representative of Jonas Hector, the full-back of Colonia whose performances have earned him a call-up to the national team since 2014, earning the trust of Joachim Löw.

In addition, the possible departure of the 27-year-old player could represent great opportunities for the Bavarian team, since if the team's relegation from the RheinEnergieStadion is confirmed, Jonas Hector would have an active clause that would allow him to leave the club in exchange for a figure around €7-8 million, which could be less than the amount received for the Spanish footballer if the respective sale occurs.
