Kicker: Bayern not signing Christensen or De Ligt

Kicker claims that Bayern München will not be bringing in Andreas Christensen or Matthijs De Ligt to replace Niklas Süle.
German football magazine Kicker has played down reports linking Chelsea's Andreas Christensen and Juventus' Matthijs De Ligt with Bayern München.

Both players have been touted to replace Borussia Dortmund-bound Niklas Süle at Allianz Arena, but none of them will be making the switch to Allianz Arena, according to Kicker.

Bayern have also been linked with a number of other centre-backs, including Christensen's teammate Antonio Rüdiger and Gladbach's Matthias Ginter, who are both out of contract at the end of the season.

Süle's departure leaves Bayern with four players for the centre-back position, with Lucas Hernandez, Tanguy Nianzou, Benjamin Pavard and Dayot Upamecano all capable of playing there.
