While the summer of transfers is almost over in terms of newcomers for FC Bayern, there could still be a lot to do in terms of departures in the coming years. According to current media reports, there are three names on Bayern’s sales list.
A total of ten players have already left FC Bayern this summer, including top stars such as Robert Lewandowski and Niklas Süle. In addition, the Munich team parted with many reservists who had no sporting prospects on the Isar. This includes players like Marc Roca or Chris Richards.
As “Sport BILD” chief reporter Tobi Altschäffl reports, three more players could leave the German record champions prematurely by the end of August.
Bayern is looking for buyers for Zirkzee, Sarr and Nianzou
At FC Bayern there are still three sales candidates in this transfer window: Zirkzee (offers have been received, will be made, possibly with a buyback option), Nianzou (market available) and Sarr. A departure from Sané/Pavard is excluded internally.

According to Altschäffl, Joshua Zirkzee, Bouna Sarr and Tanguy Nianzou are all candidates for sale at FCB. Zirkzee have recently been linked with several clubs from England. VfB Stuttgart should also be interested. For the Dutchman, it’s not so much a question of whether he will leave Bayern, but rather how much Munich will receive for the 21-year-old. Julian Nagelsmann does not plan with Zirkzee. In addition, his contract expires at the end of the season. Those responsible would like to secure a buyback option.
Right-back Sarr has been considered a prank candidate for some time. The problem: So far, Bayern have not received any requests for the Senegalese. But one thing is clear: If an offer comes in, you will certainly not put any stones in the way of the defender.
Somewhat surprisingly, Tanguy Nianzou also makes an appearance on the list. The young central defender has everything in terms of potential, but the 20-year-old needs more match practice to develop further. It will be difficult for him to get it in Munich, especially after the signing of Matthijs de Ligt. Nianzou could therefore be a candidate for a loan or, like Zirkzee, a transfer with a buyback option.
Another name who should leave FCB in the summer but does not appear in Altschäffl’s list is Adrian Fein. The midfielder plays no role at all in Bayern’s overlays and is ideally set to be sold before his contract expires in the summer of 2023.
