Bayern Munich are focused on player sales before considering further additions to their squad ahead of the new Bundesliga season, according to Sky Germany. While the club is satisfied with recent signings Ismael Saibari and Nathaniel Brown, as well as the overall quality of the current team, the supervisory board has instructed sporting director Max Eberl and technical director Christoph Freund to generate funds by offloading players deemed surplus to requirements.
The club is reportedly prioritising permanent transfers over loan deals to maximise revenue. João Palhinha, Bryan Zaragoza, and Sacha Boey have been identified as players who could be sold this summer. Bayern will also consider offers for Hiroki Itō and Alphonso Davies, suggesting a willingness to reshape key areas of the squad.
Palhinha’s situation is particularly noteworthy, having been heavily linked with a move to Fulham last summer before the transfer ultimately collapsed on deadline day. Zaragoza joined Bayern in January but has not established himself as a regular starter, while Boey arrived in the winter transfer window but has struggled for consistent playing time. Davies, a long-serving left-back, has been a mainstay in the Bayern lineup but his contract situation has prompted the club to explore potential offers.
However, central defender Kim Min-jae is no longer considered for sale this summer, a reversal from previous reports. The South Korean international joined Bayern from Napoli last year and, despite some initial adaptation challenges, appears to have secured his future at the Allianz Arena. This decision suggests Bayern are confident in his long-term potential and view him as a key component of their defensive line.
Bayern are open to one further incoming signing before the start of the Bundesliga campaign in August, but this is contingent on successfully streamlining the squad and freeing up funds. The focus remains on creating a more financially sustainable model while maintaining their competitive edge in both domestic and European competitions. The sale of players like Palhinha, Zaragoza, and Boey could provide the necessary capital to pursue targeted reinforcements.
