🚨🇩🇪 EXCL: FC Köln agree deal for Felipe Chavez from FC Bayern, here we go! Peruvian national team player joins on loan with options to buy for Köln and buy back. Surprise on Deadline Day: Bayern talent Felipe Chavez joins 1. FC Köln on loan!@SkySportDE @Sky_Marlon89 The people from Cologne have a purchase option for the summer, while Bayern in turn have a buy-back option. For Chavez, after his first appearances with the Bayern professionals, it is now about continuing to gain plenty of match practice at top level. This has been promised to him by Effzeh

Bayern's U-23s hosted Regionalliga Südwest side SGV Freiberg for a friendly to regain match fitness and emerged with a dull 0-0 draw. No highlights were made available. However, there were multiple interesting changes to the squad. The likes of left back Deniz Ofli and midfielder Maycon Cardozo are now fully integrated in the squad after spending the first half of the seasons with the U-19s.

The mood at Bayern Munich is slightly deflated after their controversial 2-2 draw at Hamburg SV over the weekend, but it still can't take away just how good they've been over the course of the season. To date, they have only dropped points a total of four times all season across all competitions; the draw at Hamburg SV, the loss to FC Augsburg, the loss to Arsenal in the Champions League, and the 2-2 draw at Union Berlin in the hinrunde.

So why oh why would he do this? Per Tz and his own personal Instagram, Kahn has been spending the winter holidays skiing in the Alps. Yes, that's right. Skiing. There is no greater sin for a Bayern Munich adjacent person to commit than to go skiing. Manuel Neuer did it and the football gods cursed him with an accident where he broke his foot. Julian Nagelsmann did it and he got sacked.

After Bayern Munich's 2-2 draw with Hamburger SV on Saturday, fans were unhappy to say the least. For the most part, optimism has been running rampant with fans, but a loss to FC Augsburg last weekend, a less-than-stellar win over PSV Eindhoven in the Champions League on Wednesday, and Saturday's debacle at Volksparkstadion has opened up the floodgates for doubt and naysayers.

Leon Goretzka has just announced that he'll be leaving the club during the summer as a free agent and the club's front office is still working on new contracts for Dayot Upamecano, Serge Gnabry, and Harry Kane. While there haven't been any major signings this winter, there has been a lot of prospecting going on for this summer. Feyenoord defender Givairo Read has been a name mentioned internally at Bayern as they plan to get more cover at right back.

In Bayern's attack, Luis Díaz and Michael Olise have formed a formidable partnership on the flanks either side of Harry Kane and. The pair of wingers have scored a total of 27 goals between the two of them and they have been involved in over 50 goal involvements; Díaz has 14 goals and 11 assists while Olise has 13 goals and 20 assists.

A contract extension would definitely be important. He's a great person and a great footballer,

Tottenham Hotspur is seemingly taking on the role of being a club where unwanted Bayern Munich players are given a second chance. João Palhinha and Mathys Tel (in completely different circumstances) ply their trade there, but Spurs want more. In fact, the Lilywhites rang up Serge Gnabry to see if he was up for grabs. Gnabry's camp turned them down:

The forward is already in talks with Bayern Munich over signing a contract extension. He added: There's a two-year offer on the table, and it seems that he's prepared to stay put at the Allianz Arena. Serge Gnabry has basically turned around and said, No, I'm talking with Bayern Munich at the moment. Thanks for the interest, but if it works with Bayern, I'm going to stay.'

The Dutch side lost 3-0 to Newcastle United in their previous Champions League game and need a strong result against Bayern. Eindhoven have picked up two wins, two draws and suffered three defeats in their seven matches in this competition, collecting eight points. They are 22nd in the table, and need a win against Bayern, who have won six of their seven matches in this competition so far.

Bayern Munich is currently trying to bolster their youth development program by making some changes in the leadership of its campus. Current campus director Jochen Sauer has been heavily involved with Red & Gold Football, the joint venture of FC Bayern Munich and Los Angeles FC, which means Bayern is looking for someone to take over the campus responsibilities. According to a report by Sport Bild's Tobi Altschäffl, Bayern are close to signing FC Nürnberg head of youth development Michael Wiesinger (as captured by @iMiaSanMia):

Next Step for Bayern Talent Grayson Dettoni: The 20-year-old center-back is facing a loan with an option to buy to SV Darmstadt 98. Principled agreement between all parties, medical check and signature over the weekend. Dettoni celebrated his professional debut a year ago under Vincent Kompany. He also holds a professional contract with FCB that is still valid until 2028. @SkySportDE

Bayern Munich has not had a real right-back in the lineup for what feels like an eternity. Against PSV Eindhoven, Sacha Boey made a brief appearance, but the seldom-used defender is likely not a serious candidate to start this weekend against Hamburger SV. While Konrad Laimer definitely will not start (he won't even suit up), the Austrian has made some progress. Laimer is working out individually and has been using the ball, which is a big step in his recovery:

There was interest at the beginning, of course. But I can't say more than that,
