Including club captains Manuel Neuer and Joshua Kimmich, several FC Bayern World Cup stars arrived for performance tests before traveling to Tegernsee to join the club’s training camp. Michael Olise and Harry Kane are still absent since they were in the tournament until the latter stage with their national teams.
BILD’s Nico Linner reported Aleksandar Pavlović was the first to arrive for performance tests this morning. In addition to the Germany national team players, Kim Min-jae, Hiroki Itō and Bara Sapoko Ndiaye are also expected to undergo tests before joining the training camp.
Ndiaye is set to join FC Bayern on a permanent transfer from Gambinos Stars for €3-4 million, while Kim and Itō could still leave the club this summer. Kane and Olise will join the pre-season preparations after their vacations.
Bayern will play against amateur side FC Rottach-Egern on Thursday after four days in Tegernsee. The Rekordmeisters scored 64 goals in their last three games against the side from Germany’s eighth division. Vincent Kompany’s side lost to Wehen Wiesbaden in their first pre-season friendly on Saturday.
