10 players Bayern Munich regret selling

#3 Mitchell Weiser

Weiser move to Hertha a few years ago

After just one Bundesliga appearance for 1. FC Koln, Mitchell Weiser caught the attention of Bayern Munich. In the summer of 2012, the youngster made the switch to Bavaria for a nominal fee.

A right-back by trade, it was always going to be a tough job to get in the team ahead of Philipp Lahm – which is something that Weiser struggled with. Pep Guardiola had earmarked the full-back as a potential successor in both Munich and the German national team, thus giving him occasional game time.

Under the Spaniard, Weiser played 20 games, scoring one and creating four. It was however under Pal Dardai that Weiser eventually made a name for himself.

Summer 2015 saw the 21-year-old switch Bayern Munich for Hertha Berlin. And it’s a transfer that certainly made him flourish. At just 23, Weiser has made the right-back position his own in Berlin, but with the added incentive to push forward and help in attack.

It’s regular starts that Weiser wanted and that’s what he got. His impressive form has put the now 23-year-old in contention for a place in the Germany team at the World Cup.

But is it a missed opportunity for Bayern Munich? A return for Wesier would allow Joshua Kimmich to return to a midfield position while the inclusion of the former would only add stability to an already impressive Bayern Munich side.
