FC Bayern is in a state of upheaval. The decision-makers at the record champions therefore question almost every player – as coach Thomas Tuchel emphasizes once again.

Min-Jae Kim, the third new signing, arrived in Munich on Tuesday. More are to follow. FC Bayern still has a lot planned for this transfer window. In addition to striker Harry Kane and right-back Kyle Walker, coach Thomas Tuchel would also like a goalkeeper if Yann Sommer and Alexander Nübel go what it looks like.
Six is also wanted. A type of player who is not yet in the squad. In order to be able to fulfill these wishes, there needs to be departures. Of course, to generate income. Therefore, coach Thomas Tuchel emphasized once again, that almost no professional can be sure at the moment. Especially not in the overstaffed midfield, which the 49-year-old would like to strengthen.
Sabitzer and Mané should go
Marcel Sabitzer made a good impression in the test match (27:0) with nice assists and five goals, but he should go just like the unlucky Sadio Mané. In the case of Leon Goretzka and now also Joshua Kimmich, Bayern would also be willing to talk in the event of a high offer. Although both players want to stay a year before the European Championship.
Today nobody can say what the squad will look like on September 1st.
“The transfer period is the transfer period. Anything is always possible,” says Munich’s head coach diplomatically, but also said that “it makes absolutely no sense to do name dropping,” so it feels like talking about a new person every day . After all, “there are always three parties involved: the player, the receiving club, the releasing club” to even talk about transfers.
That means: If a player insists on his contract, the Munich decision-makers are almost powerless anyway. Just the opposite: If the club does not want to give up a player who has a valid working paper, this professional should stay.
Which is why coach Tuchel said with a view to Kimmich: “I’m not starting to deny.” So the kicker message that the national player is no longer untouchable and no longer unsaleable. “There is absolutely no reason to comment on that,” said Tuchel. Because at the moment – almost – every player and his work is being questioned.
Finally, and CEO Jan-Christian Dreesen emphasized: “No one can say today what the squad will look like on September 1st.” The only thing that is clear at the moment is that FC Bayern still has a lot planned. On the incoming and outgoing side.
