Renowned for their anticipation in recruitment, Bayern Munich struggled for many months before finding Thomas Tuchel’s successor. After facing numerous refusals, the German team finally entrusted the keys to their first team to Vincent Kompany. A young coach who has yet to make his mark at the highest level. But the Allianz Arena residents are convinced that they have bet on the right horse. Inevitably, with this change of coach, one could say that the cards were going to be redistributed.
In the end, this was not the case for everyone. Already struggling under TT, Leon Goretzka (29) will not see his situation improve. During the presentation of João Palhinha, Max Eberl confided about him: “With Leon, I speak very openly with the players, but I don’t do it in public. When I speak to players or agents, our job is to do it with confidence. The competitive situation in midfield will be extremely high. Each player must decide for himself what his next step is and how he wants to face the competition.”
Goretzka is pushed out
Image explains that the sporting director suggested that it would be better for Goretzka to change air due to the strong competition. The message from his management seems clear. Which has not escaped several clubs ready to secure his services. Among them, there are Tottenham, Naples and Atlético de Madrid. But the German media indicates that the player under contract until 2026 wants to continue in Bavaria. A first headache for the Bavarians. And it is not the only one concerning the slimming down. There is also the case of Matthijs de Ligt (24 years old).
The Athletic explains that the Munich team no longer wants the Dutch defender. He was once mentioned on the Barça side, but is now mainly associated with Manchester United, where Erik ten Hag wants to recruit him. An agreement has been reached between the Mancunians and the defender. But Bayern Munich seems more difficult to satisfy. The Athletic mentions a new rejected proposal. But with Leny Yoro’s injury, MU intends to accelerate for this transfer, estimated at €50 million. The Red Devils want to kill two birds with one stone and recruit Noussair Mazraoui (26 years old), an ex-Ajax player who also knows ETH.
PSG wants to take from Bayern
As explained on our site, an agreement has been reached for the transfer of the Moroccan, whose price is 25 million euros. Although The Athletic explains that Bayern Munich is dragging this file out, the lights seem to be green. As for Kingsley Coman (28 years old), things are not really moving forward. However, Bayern has made it clear to him that they are no longer counting on him. His price has also been set. An offer of between 50 and 60 M€ would be enough for the Germans. PSG is mentioned among its suitors. Same thing for Joshua Kimmich (29 years old).
The German midfielder is very popular with the French champions, who have asked Bayern Munich for the price to pay, as explained on our site. Under contract until 2025, Kimmich, whose name has been mentioned in particular at Barça in recent months, is considering going to the end of his lease according to reports from Germany. But everything is still possible, especially if the Bavarians, who opened the door to his departure, want to recover a little money through a transfer. Kimmich, Goretzka, De Ligt, Mazraoui and Coman are therefore considered undesirable. According to the German press, the club is also open to discussion in the event of very good offers for Leroy Sané (28 years old), whose name is mentioned at Arsenal, and Serge Gnabry (29 years old). The same goes for Alphonso Davies (23 years old), free in a year, but who seems to be promised for free to Real Madrid. Time is running out for the Bavarians, who still have a month to slim down.
