After losing the Bundesliga title to Xabi Alonso’s Bayer Leverkusen, Bayern Munich intends to regain its national supremacy during the 2024-2025 financial year. To start this new cycle, the Bavarian leaders have also decided to rely on a new coach. After having suffered numerous refusals, the Rekordmeister board finally got its hands on Vincent Kompany, who arrived on the Munich bench to succeed Thomas Tuchel. If the coach’s file is therefore settled, the last third in the German championship now intends to ignite the summer transfer window.
With this in mind, the semi-finalist of the Champions League is active and has already drawn up an attractive shortlist. From Dani Olmo to Jonathan Tah via John Stones, Nico Williams and Joshua Zirkzee, there is no shortage of names. Yes, but before recruiting, Bayern Munich intends to carry out a major cleaning.

Among the other candidates for departure, Leon Goretzka, under contract until June 2026, is also mentioned . In addition to the 29-year-old German midfielder, Moroccan Noussair Mazraoui, who has never really managed to establish himself in Bavaria, could also leave.
Finally, on the attacking front, the Bavarian team would also be open to a few departures. Tracked by Barça in recent weeks, Kingsley Coman, who is preparing to play Euro 2024 with the Blues, would have an exit voucher. This is also the case for Serge Gnabry. Linked to Bayern until June 2026, the 28-year-old German is today valued at 40 million euros. If the German media specifies that the residents of the Allianz Arena have, for the moment, received no concrete offer, a general exodus is indeed being prepared in Bavaria…
