10 players Bayern Munich regret selling

#1 Emre Can

Emre Can

Leaving Bayern Munich at the age of 19 in search for more playing time, Emre Can has gone from strength-to-strength, establishing himself as one of Germany’s best players.

His versatility caught the eye of Liverpool bosses which resulted in the Premier League club spending around €10 million on the then Bayer Leverkusen midfielder. Working under Jurgen Klopp, Can has proved that he has the ability to play at the highest level while he’s improved his all-round game.

The Germany international not only looks strong defensively which is his primary role, but he’s now added goals to his game. It’s hard to imagine that come summer, Can will have spent four years at Liverpool, playing 155 games in all competitions.

However, it may be a missed opportunity for Bayern Munich. With an expiring contract, it looks as though Can may join Italian giants Juventus. Despite the announcement that Leon Goretzka will join Bayern Munich on a free transfer, a return for Can wouldn't have been a bad move.

Depending on who eventually replaces Jupp Heynckes, Can play in a back three, as an anchorman or at the heart of the midfield. In modern-day football, there are not too many players that can do that.

It’s probably fair to say that Can would be welcomed back to Bayern Munich at some point in his later career.
