According to a report from Kicker journalist Georg Holzner (as captured by @iMiaSanMia), Bayern Munich board member for sport Max Eberl has almost closed phased one of his summer transfer plan as acquisitions of PSV Eindhoven’s Ismael Saibari and Eintracht Frankfurt’s Nathaniel Brown.
However, there is still much work to be done, as Eberl needs to sell a minimum of four first-team players with the potential for at least two other sales as well:
After largely being done with their transfer business
regarding incomings with Saibari and Brown, Bayern’s clear objective in the transfer market now is to sell João Palhinha, Bryan Zaragoza, Sacha Boey and Alexander Nübel. The club’s bosses are expecting €50-60m in transfer fees to be raised through these sales. The four players have already been informed that they have no role in the team next season. But the problem is that suitors are difficult to find – and when clubs do show interest, they try to drive the price as low as possible, as Tottenham are currently doing with Palhinha. The market for them is currently quiet, and none of them will be able to use the World Cup to increase their value.
In addition, if offers arrive for Hiroki Itō and/or Min-jae Kim, Bayern would also be willing to negotiate. While there’s no urgent need to sell them, unlike the four players mentioned earlier, any additional income would be welcome.
Bayern Munich wants a bigger roster for 2026/27, but no one that would include the players listed above. In addition, the Bavarians want to keep their salary budget under control, which could be a problem with the players above still on the team.
