Bavarian Podcast Works: Weekend Warm-up Podcast Season 1, Episode 42 — Liverpool and Barcelona’s interest in Bayern Munich’s Robert Lewandowski; Oliver Kahn’s new approach; Marcel Sabitzer’s uncertain future; and MORE!

After Bayern Munich trounced Union Berlin 4-0 last weekend, the squad headed off for an international break. While some players reported to their respective countries for duty, some others are working to get healthy for the stretch run of the season.

This break could not have come at a better time for the Bavarians — especially because there was ample for us to discuss, even without a game on the docket. Here is what we have on tap for this week’s podcast:

• The good timing of the international break for Bayern Munich, Germany’s slate of games, and why it will still be interesting to watch.
• Why Oliver Kahn’s new hands-on approach was needed and why a cup of coffee or a pint of beer are always a god way to strengthen relationships.
• Liverpool and FC Barcelona’s interest in Robert Lewandowski and why Bayern Munich should be wary of what Jurgen Klopp can offer (not just a big salary).
• Marcel Sabitzer’s uncertain future and why it might make sense for both sides to move on.
• Why Bayern Munich should pass on Ajax’s Ryan Gravenberch and start pushing money toward positions that the club has a more pertinent need for next season.
