The Bundesliga transfer window has only just opened, and Bayern Munich have already unveiled two new signings—both carrying hefty price tags. Within the space of just three days, the Bavarian giants first announced Ismael Saibari (25) and then, this afternoon, Nathaniel Brown (23), in deals worth a combined 100 million euros. Brown arrived from Eintracht Frankfurt under virtually the same formula as Saibari. Bayern have paid 50 million up front, with another five million euros potentially due in performance-related bonuses. The German full-back has signed a five-year contract and joins Ismael Saibari and Kim Min-jae as the seventh-most expensive signing in Bayern’s history.🗣️ Nene Brown: “𝘋𝘪𝘦 𝘊𝘩𝘢𝘯𝘤𝘦, 𝘧𝘶̈𝘳 𝘥𝘪𝘦𝘴𝘦𝘯 𝘊𝘭𝘶𝘣 𝘻𝘶 𝘴𝘱𝘪𝘦𝘭𝘦𝘯, 𝘣𝘦𝘥𝘦𝘶𝘵𝘦𝘵 𝘮𝘪𝘳 𝘶𝘯𝘨𝘭𝘢𝘶𝘣𝘭𝘪𝘤𝘩 𝘷𝘪𝘦𝘭 𝘶𝘯𝘥 𝘦𝘳𝘧𝘶̈𝘭𝘭𝘵 𝘮𝘪𝘤𝘩 𝘮𝘪𝘵 𝘚𝘵𝘰𝘭𝘻.
