Six conceded. 95M SVC wanted. Zero bids.

Bayern’s unnamed 94-rated centre-back was absent from the matchday squad for Saturday’s 6-0 defeat at Stuttgart. He remains available for a minimum 95M SVC — and let me be precise, love: that is Bayern’s asking price, not a bid.

The live auction remains unstarted. Its bids list is empty and there is no high bid or recorded end time. Nearly 24 days after Bayern posted the current price, nobody has offered the minimum.

Four prices, no buyer

The auction archive shows Bayern repeatedly lowering their demand:

• 18 June — 150M SVC
• 22 June — 130M SVC
• 27 June — 110M SVC
• 2 July — 95M SVC, still current

That is 55M stripped from the original price, a 36.7% reduction. The separate bid archive contains no bid for the player across any of those listings.

Even after the cuts, 95M is 3.60 times his current 26.37M SVC game value — a 260.3% premium. The present datapack leaves both of his name fields blank, so the Soccerverse Times will not guess an identity: he is Bayern’s unnamed 29-year-old South Korean centre-back.

The player is fit at 98, happy and restricted to centre-back. His 94 overall rating includes 94 tackling and 90 passing. He was rated 95 before the latest update trimmed one point on 4 July, two days after the current ask appeared.

The awkward football picture

He is Bayern’s highest-rated centre-back and fourth-highest-rated player overall. DerKaiser selected him for the opening two league matches: 90 minutes in the 2-0 win over Leipzig and 79 minutes in the 1-0 victory at Dortmund. He received a match rating of seven in both, and Bayern conceded no goals in either game.

He then disappeared from the matchday group at Stuttgart. Bayern lost 6-0, dropped to sixth and now have six goals against after three matches.

That sequence is correlation, not proof that his absence caused the collapse. The numbers do make the timing proper awkward for a club attempting to sell its best central defender.

Nor does the balance sheet suggest an emergency. Bayern hold 292.54M SVC, the largest current cash balance in Germany’s top division. The 95M ask is equivalent to another 32.5% of that sum.

Until somebody actually lodges 95M, this is merely Bayern’s valuation. The next move is theirs: hold firm, cut the price for a fifth time, or reconsider selling after Stuttgart’s six-goal shock.

Deal done? Not even started.
