Eric Maxim Choupo-Moting quietly said goodbye to Bayern Munich after missing the season-ending celebration and match. The striker was absent from the festivities and didn’t even get to unwrap his farewell gift – a collage with photos and a signed jersey. His absence was noted at the game against Hoffenheim (which Bayern lost 4-2) and at the home match against Wolfsburg (which Bayern won 2-0), with reports attributing it to a severe bout of the flu.
After four years with Bayern, Choupo-Moting’s departure was understated, with the possibility of a sixth career move. Offers have reportedly come in from teams in Saudi Arabia and Qatar, with the striker’s move set to be on a free transfer, as he has never cost a club a transfer fee. With no official farewell at the Allianz Arena, Bayern bid adieu to Choupo-Moting through their social media channels. The striker, known for his contributions to the team, will now embark on the next chapter of his career.
