Romano updated his personal video and talked about some unreachable deals this summer. Among them, Bayern once reached an oral agreement with Lyon's Malik Fofana, but it was only an alternative to being unable to sign Louis Diaz; in addition, Bayern also offered Martinelli for 35 million euros, but Arsenal had no interest.

Romano said: "Luis Dias is the number one target for the victory of Riyadh, Ronaldo, but this happened before the management change, between March and April this year. Maybe you still remember that in January, they tried to sign a top winger, but eventually signed center Duran. They visited Sanzao and Leo, and finally decided to take another move in the summer window.

"Their primary goal was Liverpool's Dias, and they were even planning to spend huge sums of money to buy. But with the new director taking office, budgets shrinking and strategic adjustments, they decided to sign players from different positions such as Felix and Inigor Martinez. My judgment is: if the original management team is still there, they will chase Dias at the end of May and early June, then he may not be at Bayern now, and Bayern only joined the negotiations later and succeeded.

" Speaking of Bayern: In addition to Dias, they actually pursued two players. One is Malik Fofana of Lyon. Bayern locked the player for several weeks and reached a verbal agreement with the players. But Bayern told the deal only if they could not sign Dias. When negotiations with Liverpool were difficult at the end of June, Fofana was the alternative. After Liverpool's attitude softened in July, Bayern turned to Dias. Malik Fofana was also an Everton target, but the player refused because he missed the Champions League.

"Bayern's other goal is Martinelli: Bayern had an active dialogue with his agent, but Arsenal had no interest in the offer of 30-35 million euros. They believed that the player's value was much higher than that, and Martinelli lived a comfortable life with the Gunners, so the negotiations failed to advance. ”
