FC Bayern, rumor: No leading players? Four stars probably on the brink
Those responsible at FC Bayern Munich have apparently come to a drastic decision after the 1:5 debacle at Eintracht Frankfurt. As Sport Bild reports, there is a feeling that the team has a leadership problem.
Accordingly, the Munich management team is of the opinion that there are currently no players in the squad who could succeed Manuel Neuer and Thomas Müller. The squad should therefore be completely reassessed before the new season.
According to the report, Joshua Kimmich, Leon Goretzka, Serge Gnabry and Alphonso Davies in particular are under close observation.
Goretzka’s future had already been discussed internally before the current season, but the midfielder insisted on staying. He was once identified as the future heart of the squad alongside Kimmich, but those responsible are said to be disappointed with the duo.
It remains to be seen whether Gnabry will find his old form after his hamstring injury. This reportedly forces the winger to take a break of at least two months.
Davies, on the other hand, is already considered a sales candidate. The left-back is currently playing poker for a hefty salary increase in negotiations to extend his contract, which runs until 2025. The summer would be the last opportunity to sell the Canadian lucratively. Real Madrid in particular are said to be interested.
Kimmich’s role in the club is also unclear. The transfer planning would also show that we would continue to sign a six-man. Martin Zubimendi from Real Sociedad has already expressed interest.
FC Barcelona is said to still be interested in Kimmich himself. He would also have his last chance to generate a transfer fee after the season. His working paper is also dated until 2025.
In addition, Min-jae Kim and Dayot Upamecano did not live up to their expectations of being the leader in defense. Matthijs de Ligt could take on the role of defense chief, but coach Thomas Tuchel is not convinced of the Dutchman’s ability on the ball.
Therefore, interest in Ronald Araújo from FC Barcelona should also be fueled. According to Sport Bild, a clause of around 80 million euros should make a transfer possible.

FC Bayern, rumor: Is assistant coach Anthony Barry leaving the ship?
As the Daily Telegraph reports, the Irish association is trying to recruit Anthony Barry, the assistant coach of FC Bayern: The Irishman should therefore take over the national team of his home country. In addition to Bayern, Barry is currently active as an assistant coach for the Portuguese national team.
Tuchel was only able to free his preferred candidate Barry from Chelsea in April. At that time, according to the Times, Bayern are said to have paid a transfer fee for the 37-year-old: 1.1 million euros. The Daily Telegraph writes that a high transfer fee would therefore be due to Bayern.
In addition to Barry, Tuchel also works with assistants Arno Michels and Zsolt Löw.
FC Bayern, News: Kingsley Coman taunts Robert Lewandowski
Kinsgley Coman from FC Bayern Munich raved highly about his new teammate Harry Kane and allegedly teased Robert Lewandowski.
“I knew he was good, but I didn’t know he was that good. It’s nice to be able to play with a striker like that. I’ve always played with great strikers like Lewandowski or Benzema in the national team, or before even with Tevez,” Coman said about Kane on Sky Sport News.
It’s “really nice to have someone like him who you can rely on to score goals.”
Coman is particularly impressed by the Englishman’s unselfishness. “I think the difference is that Kane is not selfish, and usually most players with the number 9 are selfish. They have to score a lot of goals and that’s why they score so many goals.” A statement that can be interpreted as a dig at Lewandowski. The Pole has often been accused of selfishness in the past.
After 19 competitive games for the German record champions, Kane has 22 goals. The captain of the English national team also contributed seven assists.
“At the moment Kane has scored so many goals, but he also gives crazy, beautiful passes to Leroy or to me or to Jamal and everyone else. The difference is that he is more of a team player than most strikers I played with “, explained Coman.
FC Bayern, News: Leroy Sané talks about a new contract
Leroy Sané spoke in an interview with Sport Bild about the contract negotiations with FC Bayern Munich. His working paper expires in 2025.
“I have been playing here since 2020, I generally feel comfortable and really appreciate that the club has sent signals that they want to extend my contract with me”; explained the national player and added: “That makes me feel good and makes me happy. Of course I will then speak to FC Bayern first.
Spanish Sport recently reported that Real Madrid and FC Barcelona were interested in the 27-year-old. They would intervene if Sané and Bayern couldn’t reach an agreement in the contract talks.
Sané also spoke about his relationship with Honorary President Uli Hoeneß, who would always support him.
“Uli Hoeneß’s word carries a lot of weight. That’s why I listen very carefully when he tells me something. When Mr. Hoeneß calls, it’s not a long conversation. After poor performance, he sometimes reprimands me on the phone: ‘You didn’t have that well done, Leroy. You have to do better than that.’ He then asks me openly: ‘What’s going on? Do you need anything, should I come over? Or do you want to stop by my place?’ It’s a totally open exchange. Or after good games: ‘Leroy, congratulations, things are going great, keep it up!'” Sané said.
He is “extremely happy to hear something like that from him. After all, it’s Uli Hoeneß! He basically built the club. I really appreciate the exchange with him and am grateful for his help and advice.”
Sané is still in impressive form. After 22 competitive games, the attacker already has nine goals and eight assists to his name.
FC Bayern, News: Manuel Neuer is in regular contact with Ter Stegen
Manuel Neuer or Marc-Andre ter Stegen? The question of Germany’s number one at the 2024 European Championship finals in their own country has not yet been answered, at least for the long-standing goalkeeper.
He was in “regular contact” with the currently injured ter Stegen, Neuer said on Prime Video after FC Bayern Munich’s 1-0 (0-0) win at Manchester United and then emphasized that both had the same goal despite all the competition.
“I think that you also have to understand that we are teammates, that we all want the same thing, that we want to try, that we play a great European Championship in our own country and that, no matter how it turns out in the end, we are a top player goalkeeper between the posts,” added Neuer after his 700th competitive game as a club professional.
FC Bayern, News: Jan Christian-Dreesen dreams of the CL title
After passing the character test in the Champions League, FC Bayern already had faint dreams of winning the title. “We passed the group stage brilliantly and showed that we are one of the big clubs that rightly have ambitions to win. We want to prove that in the next round,” said CEO Jan-Christian Dreesen in his banquet speech after the 1st draw: 0 (0-0) at Manchester United.
“Manchester was really worth the trip, a huge compliment to the team,” Dreesen began his short appearance in the ballroom of the posh Kimpton Clocktower Hotel. After the disaster in Frankfurt (1:5), it was “a special game”, “the team had a different face,” he praised: “Today we were back! That’s what we know from FC Bayern. “
He called out to the players: “You, dear team, have shown it: we are always there in the Champions League!” At least in the preliminary round: Bayern have been unbeaten in 40 games and won nine away games in a row. Dreesen spoke of an “incredible series that you have achieved”.
However, the CEO admitted that it was “a difficult game”. He was “all the happier” that Thomas Müller came in in the 67th minute. The noble joker initiated the 0-1 through Kingsley Coman (70th) shortly after his substitution.
