Weekend Warm-up: The links between Bayern Munich and Dean Huijsen are heating up, but there are obstacles; Bundesliga predictions; Throwing it back to Cracker; and MORE!

Bayern Munich is reportedly interested in Bournemouth's Dean Huijsen, monitoring the player for years, and viewing him as a potential addition dependent on player sales. The €58 million release clause can be negotiated in three installments, making the financial aspect more feasible. Huijsen's versatility, as an ambipedal player, adds to his appeal, though Bayern needs to offload either Dayot Upamecano or Kim Min-jae to facilitate his transfer. Other clubs like Chelsea, Liverpool, and Arsenal remain in the hunt, intensifying the competition for Huijsen's signature.

Bayern Munich's interest in Dean Huijsen is serious, but hinges on selling existing players, particularly Dayot Upamecano or Kim Min-jae, to afford his £50m release clause.

With regular contact between Bayern and Huijsen's camp over the years, the Bavarians have shown an enduring interest, especially for a potential left-footed center-back.
