Sheffield Wednesday manager Danny Rohl may well be rubbing his hands at this latest update from Bayern Munich.
Sheffield Wednesday definitely need to bring in some fresh players during the upcoming summer transfer window. The club is facing multiple uncertainties, including Rohl’s future and the unclear statuses of key first-team players like Barry Bannan and Josh Windass, who are reportedly in talks. Lee Gregory and George Byers have already confirmed their exits this summer. However, there are rumors linking Wednesday to potential new signings, indicating that the club is actively pursuing their transfer plans. Additionally, an emerging update from Bayern Munich might also impact these transfer plans at Hillsborough.
Hansi Flick in talks over Bayern Munich return
It seems that Rohl’s former colleague Hansi Flick is in discussions for a potential return to Bayern Munich this upcoming summer.
Rohl previously served as Flick’s assistant at Bayern Munich, and later both transitioned to managing the German national team in 2021.
Since his departure in 2023, Flick has been without a managerial role. Earlier this year, he visited Rohl at Sheffield Wednesday, observing their victory over Plymouth Argyle in the Championship.
Their ongoing contact suggests a strong relationship, with Rohl having spoken about their closeness in the past. If Flick does take the helm at Bayern Munich again, there’s a possibility he might entrust the development of some of Bayern Munich’s young talents to Rohl at Sheffield Wednesday.
Is it possible for Sheffield Wednesday to sign Bayern Munich players on loan?
It would be quite a shift for Bayern Munich players to join Sheffield Wednesday, especially given the Owls’ ongoing transition phase. Although the club is making positive strides off the field, they still have significant rebuilding ahead this summer, including clarifying Rohl’s future.
Typically, clubs send their young players on loan once they’ve settled their first-team plans. Therefore, if Sheffield Wednesday can prepare early for the 2024/25 season, they might attract clubs like Bayern Munich to loan their younger players for first-team exposure.
Under Rohl’s management, many players at Sheffield Wednesday, such as James Beadle, Di’Shon Bernard, and Djeidi Gassama, have thrived, showcasing Rohl’s ability to develop young talent. Flick, if he joins Bayern, would recognize the benefits of sending their youth to play under Rohl’s style and training methods at Sheffield Wednesday.
