Overview

• Harry Kane warned that Bayern’s current squad is one of the smallest he has experienced, amplifying scrutiny on the club’s transfer policy.
• The departures of Kingsley Coman, Mathys Tel, Leroy Sané and Thomas Müller, combined with Jamal Musiala’s long-term absence, have left Bayern’s attack notably thin.
• PSV Eindhoven are reported to be in advanced talks with Bayern and Paul Wanner, with the 19-year-old midfielder open to joining the Dutch champions.
• It remains undecided whether Wanner’s switch will be a loan or a permanent transfer, and Bayern sporting directors Max Eberl and Christoph Freund must decide by September 1.
• Bayern have so far only secured Luis Díaz and face valuation and structural hurdles in negotiations for other targets such as Christopher Nkunku.
