Bayern Munich
Summary

Bayern Munich's summer is being shaped by uncertainty in the transfer market, with the Olise situation sitting at the centre of the club's planning. Reports from Foot Mercato suggest the French winger wants to leave for Real Madrid this summer, which would represent a significant blow given his importance to the team. A contrasting view has emerged, with former professional Valerien Ismael telling Goal that Real Madrid have little realistic chance of signing a player he values at around 150 million euros, offering some reassurance to supporters.

Beyond Olise, the squad picture remains unsettled. Joao Palhinha has reportedly rejected a lucrative move to Saudi Arabia, but his future at the club is still unclear, with Juventus now emerging as a potential destination according to earlier reports. On a more positive note, defender Min-jae Kim has worked his way back into favour. Sky reports that Bayern now plan to keep the South Korean after he impressed during the season run-in, reversing his previous status as a likely departure.

In terms of incoming business, Bayern have confirmed the signing of Nathaniel Brown from Eintracht Frankfurt for a base fee of 50 million euros, as reported by Goal, adding defensive depth ahead of the new campaign. The club also ended the season on a high, beating VfB Stuttgart 3-0 in the DFB-Pokal final. Their next outing is a pre-season friendly against Wehen Wiesbaden on July 25.
