FC Bayern Munich apparently has three top-class players in their sights for the summer. Two of them have been an issue around Säbener Straße for a long time. Conversely, several top stars in the squad should be put to the test.
As kicker reports, the German record champions should continue to deal with Florian Wirtz from Bayer Leverkusen and Ronald Araújo from FC Barcelona.
According to the report, Wirtz is “extremely popular” with those responsible. However, the Bayern bosses are also aware that a commitment would cost a lot of money. An advance is still conceivable.
However, as Wirtz’s father repeatedly emphasized recently, The national player could play another season for the Werkself. He still has a contract there until 2027.
Araújo (contract until 2026) is also not an unknown quantity in Munich. Coach Thomas Tuchel is said to have chosen him as his preferred defensive player back in the winter. But coach Xavi is said to have blocked a transfer at all costs at the time.
It is now clear that Xavi will leave the Catalans at the end of the season. According to kicker, the negotiations could now pick up speed again, especially since there is said to have already been a basic agreement between the club and the player.
Replacement for Alphonso Davies: Bayern are probably interested in Theo Hernández
Bayern are also said to be keeping an eye on left-back Theo Hernández from AC Milan. The brother of EX-FCB record transfer Lucas has a supporter in Tuchel in particular.
Especially since Alphonso Davies’ future remains unclear. Negotiations with the Canadian about a new working paper are reportedly still stalling. Real Madrid should already be scratching their hooves. He would be entering his final year of contract in the summer.
In January, Corriere dello Sport had already reported that Bayern had already inquired about Hernández in 2022. Due to the financially tense situation, the Rossoneri would therefore expect a renewed push.
A sale of Hernández, whose contract runs until 2026, could significantly reduce the considerable mountain of debt worth a rumored 250 million euros.
It remains to be seen whether the transfers will actually be undertaken in the end. Finally, Max Eberl, who will reassess the squad, is in the starting blocks as the new sports director.
Bayern squad before restructuring? Nine players reportedly under scrutiny
According to kicker information, Bayern is not just about new stars: a whole series of established Bayern professionals are supposed to be put to the test. These players will be “watched closely” and “discussed individually” in the second half of the season:
- Serge Gnaby (28, contract until 2026)
- Joshua Kimmich (29, contract until 2025)
- Matthijs de Ligt (24, December 2027)
- Leroy Sané (28, contract until 2025)
Other players should be checked to see whether they “actually have Bayern caliber”:
- Noussair Mazraoui (26, contract until 2026)
- Konrad Laimer (26, contract until 2027)
- Dayot Upamecano (25, Birthday Celebration)
- Raphael Guerreiro (30, Vertrag bis 2026)
In the contract negotiations with Jamal Musiala and Davies, no “unreasonable salaries” will be approved.
