Grading the summer transfer window: Bayern Munich

Corentin Tolisso

Tolisso moved to Bayern for big money

Sometimes when an opportunity arises to buy a real talent at a good market price, you have to take that leap of faith. While it cost them more than any other player they’ve ever bought in their history, Corentin Tolisso has the ability to be a big player for Bayern for many years to come.

The team felt like it needed an extra creative outlet, with Thiago Alcantara taking too much of the load last season. With the option to also play him in wide areas or behind the striker as a number ten, Tolisso adds the tactical flexibility that Munich were sometimes lacking.

Especially with Thomas Muller being out of sorts and out of favour, adding another to the ranks was vital. The Frenchman is young and a real rising star that could prove to be a huge bargain in a world where transfer fees are starting to go through the roof.
