According to Sky Sports Germany’s journalist Florian Plettenberg, Bayern Munich is closely looking at the contract situation of Barcelona’s wonderkid Gavi.The Spanish youngster has been stripped off Barcelona’s official roster by La Liga as the Blaugrana face a player registration issue.If the problem isn’t resolved by the summer, the 18-year-old will be a free agent heading into the summer transfer window with Bayern Munich waiting in the wings to sign him.Despite Thomas Tuchel possessing multiple central players, the Bavarians would be keen to sign Gavi considering his growth in Spain.<blockquote class="twitter-tweet">Bayern like Gavi and are following the development of the recent legal problems over his Barcelona contract.

According to the<a href="https://www.teamtalk.com/chelsea/blues-liverpool-at-mercy-thomas-tuchel-bayern-munich-raids-201m-quartet-touted" target="_blank"> TEAMtalk</a>, Bayern Munich’s newly appointed manager, Thomas Tuchel, could look to bring four players from Chelsea to Germany this summer. The former Blues manager shared an excellent rapport with his team and could look to get players who have fallen out of favor at Stamford Bridge.The list of players being targeted is Edouard Mendy, Christian Pulisic, Kai Havertz, and Mason Mount. The Senegalese goalkeeper has fallen down the pecking order under Potter and with Neuer reaching the twilight of his career, Mendy would fancy a move to the Bavarian giants,While the addition of multiple names in the forward department could mean that Pulisic and Havertz are offloaded by the Blues with Bayern Munich waiting in the wings to sign them.

Bayern Munich prepping new proposals for Jamal Musiala and Lucas Hernandez - Romano

According to <a href="https://www.calciomercato.com/news/cancelo-frustrato-al-bayern-la-gufata-di-guardiola-nuova-soluzio-57964" target="_blank">Calciomercato</a>, Bayern Munich have decided to return full-back Joao Cancelo to Manchester City at the end of the season rather than converting his loan into a permanent deal by activating a reported €70m buy option.Cancelo's tenure in Bavaria hasn't gone as planned, as he's endured the same restricted squad role issue that troubled him under Pep Guardiola. He is showing signs of frustration at being benched by Julian Nagelsmann because of a change of formation, and is unlikely to reclaim a starting role against PSG in midweek. With Manchester City ready to move on after he parted ways in January, it's likely Cancelo could be sold to another club if he returns to Etihad this summer.

Bayern Munich will not go after Randal Kolo Muani in the summer

Transfer expert Christian Falk has suggested that Bayern Munich could have pulled ahead of its rivals in the race to sign Harry Kane. The Tottenham Hostpurs’ forward became the English heavyweight’s top scorer with his 267th goal for the club increasing his value. With the Bavarians looking to find a successor to Robert Lewandowski, Kane could perfectly fit the bill. Another factor is that Spurs would be reluctant to sell Kane to a direct rival increasing Bayern’s chances."They also know that Tottenham aren’t keen on the idea of losing Kane to another Premier League club – I heard there’s going to be a decision made on this within the club, so that could offer Bayern a big chance." said<a href="https://caughtoffside.substack.com/">Christian Falk in the latest edition of his exclusive CaughtOffside column</a>.
