In 2024-25, Bayern Munich is preparing for several major changes. The first will be to designate the man who will take charge of the team after the departure of Thomas Tuchel at the end of the season. A file which is not really easy to manage since the Bavarians have made Xabi Alonso their priority. But the Spaniard is stationed at Bayer Leverkusen. And to make matters worse, Liverpool, who are looking for Jürgen Klopp’s successor, have made him their priority. We will therefore have to jostle to afford the services of the former midfielder.
A secret list has been established
In the event of failure, the name of Zinedine Zidane is cited as a credible alternative. Still looking for its future coach, Bayern Munich is also making progress regarding next season’s squad. Which may be surprising since the new coach has not yet been found. The latter will have a say on the group and the reinforcements it needs. In any case, the residents of the Allianz Arena are moving forward on the outlines of the future squad under the leadership of the new sports director, Max Eberl.
In consultation with his leaders, the latter established a secret list for the next transfer window. Bild reveals this Wednesday the names which are registered on this famous list. We thus find Chris Führich (26 years old). Under contract until 2028 with Stuttgart, the German is very popular internally. He has already been followed in the past by the Munich residents, who still appreciate him as much and want to make him a competitor for Leroy Sané, whose future is not yet settled. The Bavarians also intend to take advantage of his departure clause of 23.5 million euros.
5 players targeted
This is only valid if Stuttgart qualifies for the Champions League. Regarding the defensive midfielder position, which TT has been demanding for months, Martin Zubimendi (25) is the priority. His name has already been mentioned in Bavaria. But Tuchel preferred to move forward on the João Palhinha (28 years old, Fulham) file, who ultimately did not sign. This summer, the German club wants Zubimendi. A player who has the advantage of having the same agent as a certain Xabi Alonso, with whom he has already collaborated at Real Sociedad. For all these reasons, Bayern believes they have a good chance of completing the deal.
In case of failure, Manu Koné (22 years old) is plan B. Max Eberl, who brought him to Borussia Mönchengladbach for 9 million euros in 2021, knows him very well. Bild. Jeremie Frimpong (23), who plays for Xabi Alonso in Leverkusen, also really appeals to Eberl. He has a clause of 40 million euros, which must be paid before Euro 2024. Otherwise, it will no longer be valid. In defense, the qualities of Ronald Araújo (25 years old) are still very appreciated in Munich. In addition to his high price, the Uruguayan announced that he wanted to stay at Barça. A complex file for Bayern Munich, which is preparing for the future.
