Rafael Liao from AC Milan has Bayern Munich split down the middle. The Portuguese winger sparked heated debates among club officials about bringing him to Germany this summer. Bayern bosses held serious talks with his agents right before the Champions League final. Those conversations came to a sudden halt three weeks back.
Liao feels let down after the talks stopped cold. He made it clear he wants to play for the German champions. Bayern supporters love watching him because he moves fast and shows great skill on the ball. Some club executives worry about how he would fit their game plan.
These leaders point out problems with his defending and his attitude both during matches and away from football. His playing time dropped at Milan and he lost his spot with Portugal's national team. Bayern faces heavy pressure to add attacking talent after missing out on Florian Wirtz.
Max Eberl flew back from America to handle important transfer talks with player agents. The sporting director knows Bayern needs fresh attacking options before the new season starts. Jamie Gittens from Borussia Dortmund remains another target for Bayern.
Chelsea appears close to signing Gittens from their German rivals. This creates another headache for Bayern as they hunt for wing players. The club must decide quickly about Liao or risk losing more potential signings to other teams.
