Bayern Campus Update: Daniliuc signs with Nice; three teams will share Grünwalder Stadion; & UEFA, DFB announcements on future plans

Flavius Daniliuc officially signs with OGC Nice

After being speculated about earlier in the week, OGC Nice made official the news that Bayern Munich’s U19 captain Flavius Daniliuc would be joining the club on a free transfer. It’s expected that the centerback will be joining Nice’s reserve team. The length of the contract was not announced.

Bayern II and 1860 get a new roommate at the Grünwalder Stadion

The Grünwalder Stadion is going to be crowded next season thanks to 3.Liga teams. After months of discussion between the city of Munich and the clubs, the solution has been found. Not only will the Grünwalder play host to Bayern Munich II and 1860 Munich’s first team next season, but they will be joined next season by Regionalliga Bayern leaders Türkgücü Munich.

However, Türkgücü would split their time between Grünwalder and the Olympiastadion in Munich, as Grünwalder is not able to support three teams playing a full schedule at the stadium. Per DFB rules, only 50 games max can be played in a stadium. The DFB must still sign off on the decision.

On Monday, the Bavarian Football Association will be making a decision on the ending the 2019-20 Regionalliga Bayern season. If, as expected, the season is ended, Türkgücü will be named champions.

The matches will be held in Bilbao and San Sebastian with the quarterfinals on August 21-22, the semifinals on August 25-26, and the final in San Sebastian on August 30.
