The transfer summer officially began a few days ago, but FC Bayern has already been busy. The record champions are aiming for three important points.
A change is needed – this is clear to everyone involved at FC Bayern after a season without a title. Sports director Max Eberl has also made this known publicly on several occasions.

The record champions are following three important rules, which together should lead to a new, powerful squad. On top of that, the club should retain its distinctive DNA.

At Säbener Straße, the current aim is to retain high-performing players, promote Munich talents at the same time and also put financial planning – especially the payment of the professionals – on a new footing.
Bayern ties up young homegrown talent
“Basically, there are no new pillars, but everything that the bosses around Christoph Freund and Max Eberl are currently doing follows this model,” says SPORT1 chief reporter Stefan Kumberger in the current edition of the podcast “Die Bayern-Woche”.

Extending the contracts of homegrown players such as Aleksandar Pavlovic and Josip Stanisic was an important first step. The club no longer wants to be publicly accused of letting promising talents go so easily, Kumberger continued. Youngsters from the second tier are therefore only loaned out and not sold completely to other clubs.
Bavaria should remain home of the stars
Nevertheless, the club naturally wants to remain home to big stars like Harry Kane and keep identification figures like Jamal Musiala. That has always been the record champions’ policy – or as President Herbert Hainer recently said in an interview with the Abendzeitung: “FC Bayern must always remain FC Bayern.”
When it comes to observing the third point of the self-imposed rules, the Munich team is taking a tougher approach – or at least they are prepared to do so. When it comes to selling players, less consideration is given to big names than was perhaps the case in the past.
Kumberger in the podcast: “We had hoped for more from some players. Many players earn incredibly well, the supervisory board has sent a clear signal that they want to get back to performance-based pay.”

Prominent names on sales list
That is why names such as Serge Gnabry, Matthijs de Ligt, Kingsley Coman, Leon Goretzka or Joshua Kimmich are now under discussion – although the latter himself, according to SPORT1 information, is currently not thinking about leaving.
You can hear the entire discussion about FC Bayern’s squad planning in the current episode of the SPORT1 podcast “Die Bayern-Woche” with presenter Bjarne Voigt and SPORT1 chief reporter Stefan Kumberger. Of course, some of the episode also revolves around the German national team, with a focus on the FC Bayern players.
