The German soccer record champion has allegedly already agreed with Inter Milan in exchange poker for the French world champion Pavard. Bayern should receive a fixed fee of 28 million euros plus five million euros in bonuses. The people of Munich will only finally agree to the transfer once a replacement has been found.
Klostermann was ousted on right-back by Benjamin Henrichs at RB. He was on the bench for 90 minutes in the 2-3 Bundesliga opener against Bayer Leverkusen. In the Supercup against Bayern, Klostermann only made one short appearance.
