FC Bayern’s roster planning for the upcoming season is slowly gaining momentum. Changes could be on the horizon, particularly on the wings, as the future of some players remains uncertain. The name Mohamed Salah keeps coming up in discussions at the record champions.
Most recently, reports have circulated suggesting that the German record champions are closely monitoring the Liverpool star’s situation. The online portal Fichajes reported that Bayern view Salah as an attractive option for the summer. The 32-year-old, whose contract with the Reds expires this summer, could bolster the Munich squad despite his advanced age. This is especially true since Bayern may need to make adjustments on the wings, as Leroy Sané’s contract is expiring and both Serge Gnabry and Kingsley Coman are considered potential transfer targets.
This season, Salah has been putting in impressive performances despite his age. With 32 goals and 22 assists in 41 games, he is a top contender for the Ballon d’Or. These statistics underscore his continued world-class form and make him one of the most sought-after players in Europe.
Liverpool Stars Not on Munich’s Radar
However, according to BILD’s soccer editor Christian Falk, there is no truth to these speculations. Even the fact that Salah is available on a free transfer does not change this. The Egyptian is not an option for Bayern.
Virgil van Dijk, whose contract also expires at the end of the season, is currently not on Bayern’s radar either, according to Falk. Interestingly, reports have recently been circulating in England suggesting that Bayern are actively scouting the Dutchman.
Should this assessment change, the sporting priorities for the upcoming transfer window are likely to be the deciding factor. One thing is clear: Bayern needs to address its wing positions, and club officials will be closely monitoring the market. Whether a completely different name ends up on the list should become clear in the coming weeks.
