Bayern Munich

Bayern Munich

Marcel Desailly. You probably know him from a legend card on FIFA or something. He was my idol, a very strong defender. He won the World Cup with France. He was a good example.

It is NOT TRUE: Bayern are monitoring Joe Gomez ahead of a summer move. I heard about the rumours as well, but at the moment, there isn't any interest in the Liverpool centre-back. Bayern Munich are happy with their defensive options. There's always something that could happen for the backup options, but it won't be Joe Gomez's name brought up at the table.

I was sometimes surprised at how everything turned out. But I always thought I could do it. So I persevered and worked hard. I'm very satisfied, but of course there's always room for improvement. Hopefully I can score more goals, provide more assists, and deliver even better performances.

Die Rekordmeister are currently on track to break the 54-year-old Bundesliga record of 101 goals in a single season. In fact, at this rate, Vincent Kompany's Bayern side are on track to demolish the record having already scored 85 goals after just 23 games.

Bayern Munich focused on completing internal transfers during the winter transfer window. Internal transfers are effectively extending the contracts of key players. The Bavarian club managed to achieve this by agreeing new contracts for Serge Gnabry and Dayot Upamecano. Bayern are now targeting the renewal of Konrad Laimer and Harry Kane in the next few months as the duo's contracts end in 2027.

After the game, you have the leader of an organisation, José Mourinho, who basically attacks the character of Vinícius Jr., by bringing in the type of celebration to discredit what Vinicius is doing in this moment. For me, in terms of leadership, it is a huge mistake. It is something we should not accept. I am very clear on that.

They are already planning for the pre-season. Bayern are a massive club, with a huge fan following, and pre-seasons are not only meant to keep players in proper physical shape but also to grow their brand image. In the past decade or so, top teams regularly come to Asian countries to play games. Top European clubs now look to tap into the huge football craze in Asian countries, which not only yields revenue but also helps build PR and global image.

It is no longer a secret that Bayern Munich have to sign a midfielder at the end of the season. They have already made a big decision to part ways with Leon Goretzka. The German midfielder will be leaving on a free transfer at the end of the season. Bayern are going to bring a young midfielder to replace Goretzka in the squad. It does look like they may look at an internal option first before thinking about looking for external signings.

Bayern Munich chiefs managed to achieve the targets set for the winter transfer window. They have managed to define the futures of key players. Bayern have confirmed contract extensions for Serge Gnabry and Dayot Upamecano. Meanwhile, Sacha Boey left the club on a loan deal to Galatasaray. The Bavarian club will now start focusing on the targets for the summer transfer window. Die Roten have also made a crucial decision on the future of one forward, which potentially makes signing a forward mandatory at the end of the season.

Even though it came across as a workman-like performance at times, Bayern eventually came away comfortable 3-0 winners without breaking a sweat. A first-half brace from Harry Kane gave Bayern a comfortable 2-0 lead. To their credit, the home side did try to mount a comeback after the resumption and could consider themselves unlucky when, just two minutes after the restart, a header from their defensive midfielder, Jens Stage, struck the woodwork.
