Overview

• Vincent Kompany has publicly warned about Bayern’s lack of depth and, per multiple reports, privately appealed to Uli Hoeneß at Tegernsee for additions.
• The supervisory board is maintaining a loans-only stance and has ruled out expensive permanent buys for now, constraining immediate targets.
• Xavi Simons is viewed internally as a priority, but RB Leipzig is said to accept only a sale, making a Munich move unlikely under current terms.
• Departures of Thomas Müller, Leroy Sané, Kingsley Coman and Mathys Tel plus Jamal Musiala’s injury have left four established attackers for four roles: Luis Díaz, Michael Olise, Harry Kane and Serge Gnabry.
• Sportbild reports Christopher Nkunku remains under consideration, and SPORT1 says a Nicolas Jackson loan is being discussed with reported player agreement but no deal between clubs as the Monday deadline nears.
