After winning the double, FC Bayern are already looking ahead to the coming season. While the Munich side have won almost everything at national level, the squad for next season is to be strengthened in a targeted manner. According to current reports, a transfer budget of more than 100 million euros could be available for this purpose
Those responsible around Max Eberl and Christoph Freund are already working intensively on squad planning and, as reported by kicker, Bayern have identified two positions in particular where improvements are to be made in the summer
Bayern looking for offensive all-rounder and left-back
A flexible attacking player is at the top of the wish list. The club is looking for a player who can be deployed both on the wings and in the center of attack. The background to this is the heavy workload on Harry Kane, who was once again almost indispensable last season
The new attacking player should not only create competition, but also give the Englishman a regular breather
Bayern are also on the lookout for a new left-back. Although Alphonso Davies has extended his contract, there are apparently still concerns internally due to his recurring injury problems. Those responsible would like to broaden their ranks in this position and create additional quality
Sales should further increase the budget
Financially, the record champions appear to be prepared for an ambitious summer of transfers. According to the report, the available budget could even exceed the 100 million euro mark after potential sales
Munich are hoping for additional income from several loan players in particular. João Palhinha, Sacha Boey, Alexander Nübel and Bryan Zaragoza are particularly in focus. According to kicker, their sales could flush around €40 million into the coffers
In the case of Palhinha in particular, there are many indications that he will leave permanently. There are also currently no sporting prospects for Nübel and Zaragoza in Munich. In the case of Boey, there are still hopes of a solution with Galatasaray or another interested party
Kane extension remains priority
In addition to potential new signings, Bayern bosses are still concerned with the future of Harry Kane. The Englishman’s contract runs until 2027 and an extension is a top priority
Following his hat-trick in the DFB Cup final against VfB Stuttgart, the club’s management have recently emphasized on several occasions that they would like to tie the goalscorer to the club for the long term. Talks are to be intensified after the end of the season
Negotiations are also ongoing regarding a contract extension for Konrad Laimer. The Austrian also only has a working paper until 2027. According to kicker, however, the two sides are still at odds over financial issues
One thing is clear: FC Bayern is planning its next assault on the Champions League. To this end, the already strong squad is to be strengthened in a targeted manner – and this time apparently with a budget that offers scope for major investments.
