At FC Bayern Munich, something could happen next summer despite a largely satisfactory sporting situation. Some players are about to leave due to a lack of match practice, while others could join the club for that. In addition, the people of Munich are trying to finally delete a very specific problem area. SPOX presents all rumors about FCB.
Departures – Benjamin Pavard
Position: Central Defense | Age: 26 | Contract until: 2024
There has been speculation about the future of the French international for months. While a few months ago there was still a strong smell of departure in summer, in recent weeks the tide has increasingly turned to whereabouts.
Pavard currently plays a permanent role under Julian Nagelsmann. In the currently preferred back three, he has shone as a right-hand player with good performances in recent weeks. He also scored two goals in the 5-3 win against FC Augsburg last matchday.
“I’m very happy. I’m enjoying my time with the team and I want to win all the trophies,” Pavard told Sky sports and stressed in relation to a possible stay in Munich: “We’ll see the rest in the summer.”
The defender’s contract expires in the summer of 2024, so after the current season those responsible for sports director Hasan Salihamidzic would have the last chance to generate a high transfer fee for Pavard. When asked if talks about extending his working paper were on the agenda, he replied: “I don’t know. I’m concentrating on the next game.”
Should Pavard decide against staying on the Isar for a long time, the German record champions will strive loudly sky a separation. As a possible successor, Jurrien Timber from Amsterdam is brought into play again and again. The 21-year-old central defender is under contract with Ajax until 2025.
A permanent departure from Munich is not an issue for the Austrian talent – the German record champions are too convinced of the qualities of the 17-year-old – but a loan deal is already being sought.
According to that table football “all parties” should strive for such an option for the coming summer. In the back of your mind you have the once positive loans from David Alaba to TSG Hoffenheim (2011) or from Toni Kroos to Leverkusen (2009/10). It is possible that Wanner will be awarded for two seasons.
Wanner made four appearances for the pros this season. Most of the time he is on the pitch for the Bayern U19s, where he played nine games. His contract in Munich runs until 2027.
Ryan Gravenberch
Position: Central Midfield | Age: 20 | Contract until: 2027
The midfielder does not have it easy in central midfield due to the well-known competition for Joshua Kimmich and Leon Goretzka. Should Konrad Laimer from RB Leipzig come to Munich in the summer, the season will probably decrease even further.
According to information from sports1 Liverpool FC should therefore monitor Gravenberch’s situation closely. The Reds would like to rejuvenate their midfield for the new season and can well imagine getting two new eights. Gravenberch is said to be on the list alongside Dortmund’s Jew Bellingham.
It is questionable, however, to what extent Bayern are willing to sell. The Dutchman only came to the Isar last year, and with his potential he is definitely planned for the future at headquarters.
The national player is currently in a huge form hole and can hardly make it into the starting lineup of Munich. According to a report by Bild, Sané must significantly increase his performance by the summer, otherwise he is a candidate for sale.
However, a sale would also require a high offer, after all, the winger is tied to the German record champions until 2025.
Bayern’s second German winger is in an identical position. At Gnabry, too, there are always phases of the season in which little works over a longer period of time. Therefore, according to the image report, he should also be a candidate for sale.
Publicly, the bosses strengthen both players’ backs. Sané and Gnabry are “two world-class players and they are – like everyone at FC Bayern – under close observation,” said FCB boss Oliver Kahn recently.
Kahn continues: “And if you play one or the other game where you are not at 100 percent, then it is immediately a crisis. But yes, the competition in this team is enormous. It is important to assert yourself. You are in this one Phase not there at the beginning, but they have every opportunity to offer themselves and our coach is someone who changes all the time. Everyone has every chance and they will take this fight.”
In addition, Gnabry also has a long-term contract with Bayern. Only in the current season did he extend his working paper until 2026.
Additions – Harry Kane
Position: Storm | Age: 29 | Contract until: 2024
According to various media reports, the Englishman is the absolute dream candidate for the center of attack at Bayern – to a certain extent the problem since the departure of Robert Lewandowski. This is one of the reasons why he was repeatedly associated with a move to Munich.
How Sky SportsUK However, as reported just a few days ago, Tottenham Hotspur have reportedly decided not to let Kane go under any circumstances in the summer. Accordingly, the Premier League club will keep the 29-year-old striker until the end of the contract in 2024, even if an extension is not agreed.
Kane would then be available on a free transfer. In addition to FC Bayern, the two Manchester clubs were considered to be very interested in the past. At least Manchester City should no longer have a need due to the transfer of Erling Haaland.
The Spaniard would actually like to extend his expiring contract with Real Madrid beyond the summer, but talks have been stalled for a few weeks. That is why there is now speculation about a departure, apparently Asensio is rattling off all options for the coming season.
A report from the portal 90min.de According to Bayern, the buyers are also possible. In addition to Munich, Juventus, Paris Saint-Germain and Olympique Marseille are traded as possible new clubs for the 27-year-old.
Marcus Thuram
Position: Storm | Age: | Contract until: 2023
The striker’s contract expires at the end of June, and an extension at Borussia Mönchengladbach is almost impossible. FC Bayern was always considered an interested party, the Frenchman should be committed as a possible successor to Robert Lewandowski.
Meanwhile, so reported sky, the German record champions have refrained from transferring Thuram. “Replacement” Eric Maxim Choupo-Moting is performing much better than expected and has only just extended to 2024. In addition, Thuram is not sure whether it will be enough for the top shelf.
Dusan Vlahovic
Position: Storm | Age: 23 | Contract until: 2026
The Juve striker is also on the list of long-term alternatives in the center of the attack. According to that Corriere dello Sport Bayern inquired about Vlahovic and asked about the possibility of a transfer in the summer.
At Juventus, Vlahovic threatens to miss out on international business next summer. Due to a point deduction, the Turiners are only in the middle of the table. If the Champions League places are not achieved, Juve may have to sell. Then Bayern could strike, probably at a reasonable price.
Despite his talent, the youngster only occasionally gets a chance at FC Barcelona. Usually he has to be satisfied with the role of joker, starting eleven appearances are few and far between. Fati is obviously dissatisfied and demands more playing time.
“He’s not for sale for me,” said coach Xavi recently at a press conference. But there are enough rumors of change. Leading the way: FC Bayern Munich. Coach Julian Nagelsmann is loud Mundo Deportivo as a great admirer, on the Isar you obviously look at the situation of the Spaniard very closely.
The problem: Fati’s exit clause is one billion euros. Even if that doesn’t reflect the real price, Barça will ask a large sum for the attacker.
Randal Kolo Muani
Position: Storm | Age: 24 | Contract until: 2027
The shooting star of Frankfurt Eintracht is on the list of top European clubs – including FC Bayern – due to his outstanding performances in the current season (30 goals in 34 competitive games).
Here too, however, the problem of the transfer fee stands in the way. According to reports, the SGE demands an amount of 100 million euros for the striker’s services. Whether the German record champions are willing to pay that can at least be doubted. Last reported the Picture even that Manchester United would like to make an offer of 120 million euros.
Kolo Muani himself is relaxed about this. “It’s nice to hear that, but I don’t deal with that at all,” said the 24-year-old Frenchman in an interview with DFL: “My job is here in Frankfurt, I signed a five-year contract with the club. And I have a huge ambition with Eintracht Frankfurt.”
Konrad Laimer
Position: Central Midfield | Age: 25 | Contract until: 2023
As several media report unanimously, the transfer of the midfielder to FC Bayern is already as good as dry. Julian Nagelsmann gets one of his dream players.
Only a confirmation of the change is still pending. “If he had made up his mind and he wanted to say that, then he could do it, but that didn’t happen,” said Leipzig’s sporting director Max Eberl recently.
Laimer’s contract with the Saxons expires in the summer, so Munich would not have to transfer a transfer fee to Leipzig.
Is he coming back to Munich? This question has hung over the keeper’s future for weeks and months. One thing is clear: Nübel would only return to FC Bayern after his loan at AS Monaco ended if there was a regular place guarantee. He has confirmed this countless times in the past.
The problem: With Yann Sommer and Manuel Neuer, who will probably have recovered, the German record champions are well occupied in the goalkeeper position. How it goes on, you will probably only find out in the summer.
