At the end of this past season there were numerous rumors about Bastian Schweinsteiger leaving Bayern Munich. Although no offers were made, Manchester United, with head coach Louis van Gaal, never failed to miss an opportunity to praise the German midfielder for his leadership, strength, and ability to control the game.
And although Schweinsteiger himself remained quiet for the most part about Manchester United’s interest in him, one could sense his passion and his will to move to another club, to get another challenge; Schweinsteiger never committed himself to Bayern Munich.
Thomas Muller has been one of the key players behind Bayern Munich’s success in recent years, as well as the German National Team which won the last World Cup in 2014.
It was a sad day in Germany when Bastian Schweinsteiger announced he would leave Bayern Munich and begin a new journey in the Premier League. But as all good business goes, life moves on. Pep Guardiola and the Board of Directors have gathered and discussed who would take Schweinsteiger’s spot on the squad and be able to benefit the club.

Musical artist and rapper Jay Z has announced the signing of the first European footballer to his own sports agency label called Roc Nation Sports. German defender Jerome Boateng joins current American sport giants like Kevin Durant, CC Sabathia, and Dez Bryant with the Roc Nation group.

It was Pep Guardiola’s first new signing for his new club.

The final in Berlin has been set for Serie A giants Juventus and Catalan super-power Barcelona.
