Bayern Summer Transfers

Confirmed Exits: Leon Goretzka (CM), Nicolas Jackson (ST), Raph Guerreiro (LB/CM)

With the World Cup in the summer expected to result in fatigue for several Bayern players (🇩🇪🇫🇷🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🇨🇦🇭🇷🇨🇴) and the injuries of Musiala, Davies and Gnabry, we should look to go into next season with a much much larger squad.

The games vs PSG highlighted 2 critical weaknesses:

  1. Lack of offensive depth
  2. Inferior quality or lack of profile variety at full backs and defensive midfield

Attack:
Current: Kane, Olise, Lucho, Moose, Gnabry, Karl
Apart from Karl, there is strong chance that the attackers will struggle with fatigue or recovery
We need at least 2 more players- preferably right footed
Sigining Anthony Gordon and utilising Ibrahimovic as a depth piece will be good options

Midfield and Defence:
CB: Upa, Tah, Kim, Ito
LB: Davies, Bischof
RB: Laimer, Stanisic
CDM: Kimmich, Pavlovic
Kimmich and Pavlovic are very similar players. With Laimer and Bischof expected to continue at full back, at least 2 more midfielders are needed.
There is a strong chance that both Upa and Tah get injured after a tiring World Cup. LB is a thin position with the injury proneness of Davies and Ito.
Bring back Palhinha.
Sign Alaba and Stones on short term contracts. Both are proven winners, intelligent players who can play as CB as well as CDM. They have also spend a lot of time on the bench recently so they won’t have high demands to start every game.
Another potential option could be the mercurial Joao Cancelo but it would be very expensive and complicated with Barcelona and Saudi Arabia involved
