Rode, a good deal for Bayern and Dortmund.

Although several other German clubs give preference to the domestic market at the time of making their purchases, is Bayern (and only Bayern) who is known as the "predator of the Bundesliga," precisely because the players contractors who possess some attention. This nickname, it is worth noting. This fact received more attention here than in Germany - and those such photos with the players in gray and colored Reus cooperated enough for that.

The "Bayern bogeyman", however, is about to do a deal with Borussia Dortmund ("its biggest victim", according to many) and this business promises to be excellent for all parties involved, but especially for Sebastian Rode, player who is often linked to the team of Dortmund and hardly not play for the rival.

The player was signed from Eintracht Frankfurt in early 2014 and made official in mid that year. Rode, 25, long ago was regarded as the "new Schweinsteiger" in Germany. The nickname started to lose strength over time since he was little used. The fact is that Rode, although extremely promising when he was hired, was very underused by the giant of Bavaria.

Rode never won many opportunities to consolidate itself as a defender in midfield. The explanation for this is simple: Guardiola went on to play with a single wheel in his time at Bayern. Always ahead of him on the team was Schweinsteiger, Xabi Alonso, Thiago Alcantara, Alaba and even Lahm. So it was hard to prove his potential.

Dortmund has shown that it will do everything to search hiring Rode this summer window and Bayern will hardly make any ceremony to keep him on the team. With a contract until the year 2018 and taking into account its virtues as a good pass, speed and an ability to pivot, Bayern can achieve at least € 10 million on this deal.

It is an excellent deal for Bayern because then the team will begin to wipe a bloated cast. A good deal for Dortmund, winning a strong reinforcement for the midfield and the player himself, who finally get what he wanted: the opportunity to be an important player for a big club.
