FC Bayern Munich - Paris Saint-Germain Photo by Sven Hoppe/picture alliance via Getty Images It certainly seems as if Bayern have no shortage of options for Kane’s backup. Bayern Munich’s clear desire to sign a backup for Harry Kane has been evident for a while. While the 31-year-old England captain has been performing brilliantly for the Bavarians, the lack of a true backup has seen fans’ hearts leap into their mouths whenever Kane goes down. Nor has the former Tottenham Hotspur player been bulletproof this season, missing multiple games through injury and seeing Bayern deprived of a focal point in attack. This is an issue Bayern want to fix and there have been plenty of recent rumors about who Bayern wants to sign as Kane’s backup, from players such as Mainz 05’s Jonathan Burkardt to VfB Stuttgart’s Nick Woltemade. That makes sense. They are German and proven in the Bundesliga.But Christian Falk, as captured by @iMiaSanMia, reports that a candidate that fits neither criteria is also being watched by the Bavarians:Another striker being watched by Bayern is Moise Kean. However, there are doubts over his consistency.Kean, of course, is coming off of a two-goal performance for Italy against Germany which nearly saw the 2021 European Champions knock Germany out, but fall just short. Kean’s career has been one of intrigue, as he grew up a Juventus academy product and made a name for himself only to leave via a big money move to...Everton. His career trajectory has seen him then loaned out to Paris Saint Germain, then sold back to Juventus, before he left to Fiorentina in the summer of 2024. The reason he keeps getting such high profile moves is that there are clear signs of a very good player in Kean, which he is revealing for Fiorentina this season. La Viola is just one point off of the European spots and are in this position in large parts thanks to Kean’s phenomenal 16 league goals, which see him second in the league’s scoring rankings. Perhaps Fiorentina would be willing to sell if they get an offer significantly above the €13 million they paid for Kean. Perhaps. But even if they would, would a notoriously inconsistent player really be the best backup for Kane? Especially when he has just managed to find a place where he can play a lot of minutes? Especially considering that Bayern do not sign Italians? It is hard to see this move happening.Looking to catch up on all of the weekend’s action from Germany’s top flight?

FC Bayern München v Borussia Dortmund - Bundesliga Photo by Marcel Engelbrecht - firo sportphoto/Getty Images What a turn around from last year A couple months ago, Bayern Munich was looking to offload German international Leon Goretzka from the squad, following multiple unsatisfactory performances on the pitch. However, it looks like the club has changed it’s mind...for now.Per a report from Christian Falk (captured by @iMiaSanMia), Leon Goretzka ‘has every intention of fulfilling his contract with Bayern Munich’. The contract he is currently on should see him stay as a midfielder until 2026, something that was under dispute just a couple months ago. Some might say ‘under dispute’ is an understatement, considering the lengths Bayern went to in order to push Goretzka out of the squad. Nevertheless, despite being left out of the squad multiple times, the skilled midfielder fought his way back to the top. Goretzka has recently been one of the most used players in Vincent Kompany’s starting XI, more than proving his importance to the squad. Another factor contributing to Goretzka decision to stay is the fact that he is completely aware that no other club would pay his €17m salary demands. He was touted to move to the Premier League, specifically Manchester United, who displayed interest in signing him, but even then, no club there would be willing to shell out that kind of cash. What happens at the end of his contract in 2026 is still wrapped in a question mark, but Goretzka will most probably be free to choose another club to move to as a free agent.

FC Bayern München v Borussia Dortmund - Bundesliga Photo by Sebastian Widmann/Getty Images Reports indicate Serge Gnabry is bound to stay one more year in Munich. Serge Gnabry has had a rollercoaster of a career. From having to prove himself at several clubs, he finally got the chance to be a star at Bayern Munich. It wouldn’t take long for Gnabry to make his impact, and was once valued at 90 million euros during the time of Bayern’s famous Champions League conquest in 2020. Fast forward to today, the situation has greatly changed.Although Gnabry has still managed to get 6 goals and 3 assists in limited playtime this season, his production has certainly dropped from his time during 2018-2023 where he consistently reached 20+ goal contributions each season.Bayern Munich appears ready to unload several players in order to fundraise for a star such as Florian Wirtz, and it seemed as though Gnabry would be the top sale alongside Kingsley Coman. As of now, Serge #Gnabry is set to stay at FC Bayern next season. No transfer is planned, the market is not being explored, and no talks are currently ongoing.

His contract runs until 2026 and Gnabry definitely wants to stay.

Kingsley #Coman remains the winger expected to… pic.twitter.com/K7AcVaAYAs— Florian Plettenberg (@Plettigoal) April 14, 2025SkySportDE reporter Florian Plettenberg claims that Serge Gnabry is set to stay until his contract expires in 2026. Whereas, Kingsley Coman is now the winger expected to offload in order to generate a sum.

FC Bayern München v Borussia Dortmund - Bundesliga Photo by Stefan Matzke - sampics/Getty Images Is Bayern Munich ready to make its move? Everyone and their mother knows by now that Bayer Leverkusen’s ace Florian Wirtz is Bayern Munich’s top transfer target for this summer. So much that there have reportedly already been meetings between Bayern’s brass and the Wirtz family. In an interview with BR24, as reported by @iMiaSanMia, Bayern’s honorary president Uli Hoeneß discused the rumored visit of Wirtz’s parents to his home in Tegernsee. “They were at Tegernsee, that was over nine months or a year ago. It wasn’t about a transfer at all. I just helped the family and gave them advice on certain things, like sponsorships. His father approached me to ask if I could help him. That was the reason,” explained Hoeneß. “But we never concretely discussed a Florian move to FC Bayern. We mustn’t forget that he still has two years left on his contract with Bayer Leverkusen. And if Leverkusen says, ‘We’re not letting him go,’ then we can forget about it. I think it’s totally dubious for people to act as if the thing is done.”On the financial side of the matter, the now infamous and allegedly dwindling fixed deposit account would be the cause of Bayern’s insistence on reducing the wage bill and could prevent major incoming transfers from happening. This should not be the cause, though, according to Hoeneß, and money (or lack thereof) would not be something preventing Wirtz’s transfer. “FC Bayern is in top shape. It’s not like it used to be, when we had 100, 150 million euros in our fixed deposit account. But that doesn’t mean that FC Bayern isn’t a completely healthy club that, if it wanted to, could of course make a transfer like that. The fact is that he has two years left on his contract with Leverkusen, there’s nothing more to say,” he concluded.

FC Internazionale Milano v FC Bayern München - UEFA Champions League 2024/25 Quarter Final Second Leg João Palhinha looks on from the bench during Bayern Munich’s UEFA Champions League Quarter Final second leg clash against Inter Milan at San Siro on 16 April, 2025. | Photo by Harry Langer/DeFodi Images/DeFodi via Getty Images The Portuguese midfielder may be on his way out as quick as he came in. After an extremely controversial transfer break down in 2023, João Palhinha finally secured a “dream” transfer to Bayern Munich last summer. However, unfortunately for the Portuguese midfielder, his time at Bayern has been anything but smooth sailing, suffering multiple injury setbacks and failing to cement a starting role. According to Sky Sport’s Florian Plettenberg, Bayern Munich are already open to listening to offers for the former Fulham player as a result of his unconvincing performances (as captured by @iMiaSanMia): Bayern are not actively looking to sell João Palhinha. But if there’s a suitable offer for the club and the player, then Bayern wouldn’t put any obstacles on his way out. Palhinha is being offered in England by intermediaries. His family prefers to stay in Munich.Fans of Palhinha will be relieved to hear that Bayern are not actively trying to sell him, however, as the Bavarians look to raise funds for Bayer Leverkusen’s Florian Wirtz, the Portuguese international may find his head on the chopping block. Despite the whispers, Palhinha’s dream is still far from being over and will, at the very least, have until the end of the season to showcase what he can bring to Vincent Kompany’s side.

1. FC Heidenheim 1846 v FC Bayern München - Bundesliga Photo by M. Donato/FC Bayern via Getty Images Olise has been quite a good signing, has he not? Bayern Munich’s signing of Michael Olise was far from uncontroversial when it was announced back in the summer of 2024. The then-Crystal Palace player had just suffered an injury plagued season but had shone when on the field, but triggering a release clause of reportedly nearly €60 million (if all bonuses are met) meant that many eyes were on the France U-23 international.It is safe to say those eyes have witnessed something phenomenal, then. Olise was immediately promoted to France’s senior team and became a key part of it within the span of less than a year, while he has outstripped all the team’s other wingers. He has even become one of the team’s most important players. So says Vincent Kompany, at least. “Olise has become one of our most important players this season,” Bayern’s head coach said to Sky after Saturday’s 4-0 away win over Heidenheim, via Florian Plettenberg. “That’s not something you can take for granted when it’s your first year in the Bundesliga at this level.”No, it is not. At just 23, this is hardly the end of the road for the former Reading FC player, either. He has some much room to grow and is already playing at such an elite level. Bayern fans can be happy at Olise’s development.Looking for more thoughts and analysis on Bayern Munich’s 4-0 win over Heidenheim in the Bundesliga?

1. FC Heidenheim 1846 v FC Bayern München - Bundesliga Photo by Christian Kaspar-Bartke/Getty Images Bayern Munich stomped Heidenheim... Bayern Munich took care of business in thrashing Heidenheim 4-0 on the road to put the squad one-step closer to winning the Bundesliga after a one-season hiatus. To continue down the path to ta title, having more efforts like we saw against Heidenheim would be, well, preferable. Harry Kane, Konrad Laimer, Kingsley Coman, and Joshua Kimmich provided the goals in what was a superior team effort from Bayern Munich. What did you think of the effort and the result? I’d rate it a 10.00/10.00 for total decimation and dominance. Looking for more thoughts and analysis on Bayern Munich’s 4-0 win over Heidenheim in the Bundesliga?

1. FC Heidenheim 1846 v FC Bayern München - Bundesliga Photo by M. Donato/FC Bayern via Getty Images Bayern Munich is inching closer to a title... Bayern Munich striker Harry Kane broke another record when he scored his 60th Bundesliga goal in 60 league games during the team’s 4-0 win over Heidenheim. When asked about Kane’s achievement and whether or not the club owes him a trophy for being so good, board member for sport Max Eberl said that a league title is the goal for everyone. “Harry is doing it himself. He’s scoring the goals, getting involved and getting on well with his teammates. Harry is doing everything, we as a club are doing everything - and of course we want to bring the title back to Munich,” said Eberl (as captured by @iMiaSanMia).Kane’s elusive first trophy looks to be getting closer and closer to reality — but what happens when Kane finally wins one? Most are speculating that he will leave Bayern Munich in 2026, while others think Kane will play out his deal, which runs through 2027. No matter what happens, with the way that Kane has performed during his tenure in Bavaria, his transfer to Germany has been a success from a team standpoint. However, for Kane, everything hinges on winning a trophy. Looking for more thoughts and analysis on Bayern Munich’s 4-0 win over Heidenheim in the Bundesliga?

Bayer 04 Leverkusen v FC Bayern München - UEFA Champions League 2024/25 Round of 16 Second Leg Photo by Oliver Kaelke/DeFodi Images via Getty Images Considering future opponents like Inter, Bayern needs someone with his profile anyway. João Palhinha’s stint in Bayern Munich so far has been anything but smooth. The onslaught of injuries made it impossible for him to get any playing time.With barely any chances to prove himself, he stands at the risk of being transferred elsewhere. But he is not one to care. Addressing the rumors of departure per @iMiaSanMia, Palhinha has made it clear that his aim to stay and win titles here remains. He admits that despite the difficult season, he is not completely unfamiliar with setbacks due to injury. He believes in his capabilities and is keen on earning time on the pitch. “I don’t care about rumours. I’m still happy at Bayern. Of course, I want things to be different. This season hasn’t been easy for me at times. But this isn’t the first time in my career. And I’m here because I’ve done some things very well before. I know what I’m capable of, and I’ll fight for playing time. I want to win titles here,” said Palhinha. With his profile, playing style and potential, it makes sense to retain him. He provides an element of aggression that is not very Bayern-like but is much needed. He is willing to tackle and challenge the opposition, though a bit recklessly. He is equally involved in the attack with active efforts in progressing the ball into the final third. The numbers show his merit and one can only hope that he stays long enough to show more tangible results.

FC Bayern München v Borussia Dortmund - Bundesliga Photo by Marcel Engelbrecht - firo sportphoto/Getty Images Bayern appears to be ready to finally cut their losses with Coman and try to generate funds from his sale. Kingsley Coman is undoubtedly a world beater on his day, but his tenure at Bayern Munich has unfortunately been riddled with injury problems that have left so much to be desired for the French international. Even this current season, Coman has missed out on a handful of matches through separate injury spells in a season where Vincent Kompany has often times changed his preferred starting winger that he chooses to play opposite of Michael Olise.During last summer’s transfer window, Coman was heavily linked with a potential move to the Saudi Pro League, but ultimately decided against a move there, wanting to stay at Bayern for the time being. Things could very well change after the end of this season, though.Per information from Sky Sport journalist Florian Plettenberg, Bayern is entirely open to selling Coman during this summer’s transfer window and talks are soon set to begin with regards to his future. His current contract with the club runs through June 2027 and his market value has been on a steady decline, so this is really a crucial window to try to offload the winger for any sort of significant transfer fee.At this juncture, Arsenal has been in contact with the player and he remains on the list of the top four clubs in the Saudi Pro League. Earlier in his career, Coman had expressed a preference to moving to the Premier League in England, but Bayern would certainly have the potential for a higher transfer fee if he were to go to Saudi Arabia.As far as figures are concerned, Bayern is currently anticipating that a move to England would see them make somewhere in the range of €35–40m from the winger, whereas they would be expecting upwards of €50m if he were to move to one of the Saudi Pro League clubs. While there’s not that drastic of a difference in price, every penny will count with Bayern’s eagerly-awaited pursuit of Bayer Leverkusen’s Florian Wirtz this summer. The club has made it clear they are ready to go all out to try to sign him during the summer window and they have been actively working to free up and generate funds for what would be a move somewhere in the ballpark of €140m move for Wirtz.

1. FC Heidenheim 1846 v FC Bayern München - Bundesliga Photo by Christian Kaspar-Bartke/Getty Images Okay, then... It was inevitable that Bayern Munich head coach Vincent Kompany would be asked about what the team needs to do differently to be more successful in cup competitions during the 2025/26.As always, the coach gave a response without necessarily answering the question directly.“In the end it was about details. There weren’t many situations this season where you could say that we were lucky, maybe once or twice. Performance wise, we were very often the better team on the pitch. Football is about details. If you want to win everything, then everything has to be right. Now it’s about winning the cake (Bundesliga), and then we’ll continue working to win the cherry, too (cup competitions),” said Kompany (as captured by @iMiaSanMia). If fans were hoping to hear Kompany detail what he needs in his roster arsenal to be better, well, that response probably did not satisfy you.

Borussia Dortmund v Bayern Muenchen - DFL Supercup 2017 Photo by TF-Images/TF-Images via Getty Images A lot of Bayern legends have been in the same exact boots Müller is in right now... Thomas Müller has only got at least nine matches for Bayern Munich left between the Bundesliga, Champions League, and FIFA Club World Cup, however there could be more in the latter two competitions should they progress further. The day that many Bayern and German football fans were fearing for quite some time finally came to fruition just over a week ago — this is Müller’s last season with the German Rekordmeister, as the club decided to not offer him a one-year contract extension.Müller’s name is synonymous with Bayern and the Mia San Mia mentality, and he’ll be calling it quits in Munich after 17 well-decorated years with the club, having one every club trophy there is to possibly win, including the 2014 World Cup title with Germany in Brazil. In Vincent Kompany’s first season in charge of the club taking over for Thomas Tuchel, it had slowly become clear that Müller’s minutes were starting to be managed, and the writing was on the wall for his contract to not be renewed; a decision Bayern’s board and front office did not make lightly.During a recent appearance speaking on Blickpunt Sport, former Bayern president Uli Hoeneß reflected on the club’s decision to not offer Müller a contract extension, paralleling the situation to previous instances he has witness where club legends wind up leaving on the club’s terms instead of their own. “It would have been better if he had made the decision and not FC Bayern. I’ve seen many, many great players retire. Günter Netzer, Wolfgang Overath, Franz Beckenbauer, and Gerd Müller. There were problems with all of them in the end because they simply didn’t want to accept that they were no longer as good as they would have liked to be,” he explained (transcribed via @iMiaSanMia). FC Bayern München v FC Internazionale Milano - UEFA Champions League 2024/25 Quarter Final First Leg Photo by Stefan Matzke - sampics/Getty Images For Hoeneß, he feels that the club sort of led Müller on and left the perception of the door possibly still being open for a contract extension without decisively saying that they were not, in fact, going to offer him one. In essence, he was left in limbo for far too long, but there is certainly a great deal of details that go into these types of decisions. “We made mistakes by giving Thomas the impression for too long that his contract might be extended. And when the sporting management had the talks with him, the decision had actually been made not to extend his contract. That was the start for a certain amount of unrest. Thomas wasn’t prepared for it and was of course angry,” Bayern’s honorary president stressed.Between Bayern’s front office and supervisory board, there was not one person that felt the club should be offering a one-year extension to Müller. Because of that fact, Hoeneß feels that decision should have been explained as soon as it was agreed upon. Both Max Eberl and Christoph Freund have been working diligently behind the scenes to plan the squad for the future and try to generate funds for a transfer of Florian Wirtz from Bayer Leverkusen this summer, but waiting until they did to announce the Müller decision seemed a bit unfair.For Hoeneß, the club needs to carry a good portion of the blame for the way the decision was poorly communicated to Müller himself as well as the rest of the club. His future at the club or elsewhere the longer the season went on was always a question that was looming large in the background of what was going on at Bayern, but now there is added pressure to finish the season strong seeing as it is Müller’s last one with the club. “This decision was made jointly by the entire club. And there was not a single person—not a single person—on the committees, including the supervisory board, who had a different opinion. It was poorly communicated. We have to take responsibility for that,” Hoeneß admitted.…

1. FC Heidenheim - Bayern Munich Photo by Tom Weller/picture alliance via Getty Images With Heidenheim down there’s only four matches to go. It’s never easy being dumped out of the Champions League, especially when so close to reaching the final. Fortunately, Bayern Munich managed to put aside the bitter defeat inflicted upon them midweek by Inter Milan and inch ever closer to regaining the Bundesliga title with a four-nil trouncing of Heidenheim.Wanting to recover from its first trophyless campaign in over a decade, Bayern (at the time of writing) needs only seven points from its remaining four matches to mathematically guarantee domestic dominance over reigning champions Bayer Leverkusen. Overcoming Heidenheim was an important step in setting up this favourable setting heading into Matchday 31.Following the victory over Heidenheim, @iMiaSanMia captured Bayern board member for sport Max Eberl speaking about the situation surrounding the victory, saying, “We want to win our games. The reaction today, the way we performed here from the start, we showed that the team wants to win. It’s not so easy in Heidenheim. Because we performed the way we did—wanting to win the game from the start—we’re one step closer to the title.”Bayern wasn’t gone long, but the Bundesliga better look out because it certainly is back.Looking for more thoughts and analysis on Bayern Munich’s 4-0 win over Heidenheim in the Bundesliga?
