Budget and targets: Bayern’s rumoured transfer plans As the transfer window approaches, speculation is swirling around FC Bayern Munich’s summer blueprint. While the club’s hierarc

Despite what has been an outstanding season so far, planning at FC Bayern for the coming campaign is already in full swing, with the club’s hierarchy determined to maintain its domestic dominance and enhance its European credentials. Two specific areas of concern are set to be addressed. First, the club is exploring options to reinforce the defence, where injuries and age have raised questions about long-term solidity. A young, ball-playing centre-back who can slot into the team’s high-line strategy is reported to be a priority, with scouts monitoring several candidates across Europe. The aim is to provide a long-term partner for Niklas Süle and ease the burden on the experienced pair of Jérôme Boateng and David Alaba. Second, Bayern’s midfield requires fresh legs. With Thiago’s future uncertain and Joshua Kimmich occasionally overloaded, the club is weighing up creative, box-to-box profiles who can drive play from deep and free up Thomas Müller to roam in his preferred No.10 role.

Kane bags brace and misses pen as Bayern reach UCL last-16

Harry Kane helped Bayern Munich automatically qualify for the last-16 of the Champions League by scoring both goals in the German giants' 2-0 win over Union Saint-Gilloise. The England captain missed a chance at a hat-trick, however, as his 81st minute penalty cannoned off the crossbar. Bayern overcame the 63rd minute sending off of Kim Min-Jae, as well as the absence of their banned ultras, to secure the victory.

Milan and Juventus eye unhappy Bayern defender

Kim Min-jae’s time at Bayern Munich could be nearing an end after struggling to earn regular minutes under Vincent Kompany. The former Napoli defender, now behind Dayot Upamecano and Jonathan Tah in the pecking order, has emerged as a target for AC Milan and Juventus ahead of January. However, his €9 million salary could block a Serie A return despite growing frustration in Germany.
