Bayern Munich is allegedly considering a quadruple assault on FC Barcelona in order to get Marc-Andre ter Stegen, Sergino Dest, Frenkie de Jong, and Pedri, according to reports.
The tough financial situation of Barcelona, according to a report by the Spanish newspaper SPORT, seems to be placing several of its key players in a dangerous position when it comes to their futures. German champions Bayern Munich are planning a quadruple assault on Barcelona, and they have their sights set on Marc-Andre ter Stegen, Sergino Dest, Frenkie de Jong, and Pedri.
Barcelona’s financial difficulties in recent years had been well known at this point. Because of the club’s growing debt, the Blaugrana have been forced to make some painful decisions, with some players already agreeing to accept salary cuts in order to assist the club through this difficult time.

In addition, Barcelona’s financial problems have resulted in the departure of Lionel Messi, who has joined Paris Saint-Germain after completing a stunning exit from the Camp Nou. Aside from that, Antoine Griezmann has also returned to Atletico Madrid, albeit only on a temporary basis.
Barcelona, on the other hand, is continuing to collapse under the weight of a mountain of debt. A burden that will prove to be a Herculean job to clear. Amid such a tough environment, Barcelona is now facing the humiliation of more stable teams raiding them for their top players. Bayern Munich is said to be preparing to do just that, according to the source.
In addition to ter Stegen, Sergino Dest, Frenkie de Jong and Pedri, the Bundesliga champions have their sights set on a number of other players. All of whom seem to be potential targets. First and foremost, ter Stegen has the potential to be the long-term replacement for Manuel Neuer. He is nearing the end of his playing career.
What does this mean for the La Liga side; should they look to cash in on their stars?
According to reports, the German international may be on his way out of Barcelona. The La Liga outfit are searching the market for possible replacements. Luis Maximiano is the latest player to be linked with a move to the Catalan giants. As for ter Stegen, a transfer to Bayern Munich might be just what the doctor ordered for him at this point in his career.
For his part, Sergino Dest will likely increase competition for Benjamin Pavard. While also freeing up the Frenchman to be used as a centre-back. That is in the event that Niklas Sule is no longer available to the club. When you consider that Julian Nagelsmann has two world-class midfielders at his disposal in Joshua Kimmich and Leon Goretzka, the interest in de Jong and Pedri is even more intriguing.
However, with Marc Roca expected to leave the Allianz Arena in the summer of 2019, any of de Jong or Pedri may be brought in as a replacement. Although it is impossible to see both players joining Bayern Munich from Barcelona at the same time. All things considered, though, Barcelona must maintain a vigilant vigilance. That is as other teams contemplate raiding their ranks in light of their financial difficulties.
