BERLIN, March 26 -- The reigning German Champions Bayern Munich are preparing for future challenges by taking big steps. According to a French media report, the Bavarian side has completed an 85 million euro deal by signing Atletico Madrid defender Lucas Hernandez for the 2019/2020 season.

Hernandez is said to get a five-year-contract providing a seasonal salary of 13 million euros, publiciation "France football" has reported.

The 23-year-old 2018 World Champion is not expected to be the only new arrival, as the 2013 treble winner is considering widening its tactical options.

To increase speed and tactical variety are Bayern's primary targets as the club announced through president Uli Hoeness to be happy to participate in a possibly newly formed Champions Super League and attend a World Cup for clubs containing 24 clubs "as soon as possible."

Further significant investments are expected to make Bayern's team independent from their spearhead Robert Lewandowski and their current single-box-striker system. To set up a squad addressing modern football needs Bayern seems willing to invest several hundreds of million euros.

Bayern's strategic plans include a similar system German national coach Joachim Loew used when the team beat the Netherlands 3-2 in the Euro 2020 qualifier last Sunday with Serge Gnabry, Leroy Sane (Manchester City) and Timo Werner in the front line.

RB Leipzig striker Werner is said to be joining Bayern next summer to play aside Germany's rising striker star Gnabry. The former Arsenal forward scored five goals in his opening six senior internationals for Germany.
