FC Bayern is chasing a new superstar: Will Williams, Barcola or Leao come?

FC Bayern Munich has a lot on their plate at the moment. With the departure of Leroy Sané, who signed a three-year contract with Galatasaray Istanbul, many questions arise about the future formation of the team. According to reports from Picture and Evening newspaper The record champions now have to look for new offensive forces, because Thomas Müller also has an uncertain future.

Sports director Christoph Freund explained that due to the departures of Sané and Müller, there are two fewer attackers in the squad. A strong player in the attacking midfield is needed, especially for the upcoming Club World Cup. Eberl emphasizes that the priority is on the upcoming games before thinking about new signings.

The new faces: who could come?

Bayern currently has three promising candidates in its sights. A possible successor for Sané and Müller could beNico Williams(22) from Athletic Bilbao, whose release clause is around 60 million euros. But the competition is strong, with Arsenal and other Premier League clubs also showing interest.

Another hot name isRafael Leao(26) from AC Milan, who is versatile. With a contract until 2028, his price is estimated at around 70 million euros. He is also on the London Gunners list. Picture reports that Bavaria is also interested inBradley Barcola(22) from Paris Saint-Germain, whose market value is around 70 million euros. However, PSG does not want to give him away.

Sale necessary

In order to reshape the squad, Bayern will be forced to give up some players. Kingsley Coman (28) is the focus of clubs from Saudi Arabia, but there have been no concrete discussions so far. In addition to Coman, Minjae Kim (28) and Joao Palhinha (29) are also on the list of players to be given up, but there have been no suitable offers so far. Max Eberl also made it clear that Florian Wirtz, who wants to move to Liverpool, is considered too expensive, although the club's management is ready to regulate the financing.

FC Bayern's transfer balance sheet for the 2024/25 season shows that the Munich team is in a challenging position so far, with income of 84.35 million euros and expenses of 149 million euros, resulting in a deficit of 64.65 million euros, as shown on Transfer market can be read.

In the coming period it will be exciting to see which players will ultimately be signed to lead the team into the next challenges.
