Bayern Munich confirms: Three players not in plans

Bayern Munich has officially removed three players from Vincent Kompany's plans. Bryan Zaragoza, Sacha Boey, and João Palhinha have no future at the Bundesliga champions, according to sporting director Max Eberl. The decision is part of squad trimming ahead of the 2026/27 season.

Which players are affected?

The three players no longer in Kompany's plans are Bryan Zaragoza, Sacha Boey, and João Palhinha. Zaragoza, a Spanish winger, could return to LaLiga, while Boey and Palhinha are still looking for new clubs. Palhinha might even return to his former club Sporting CP.

Why are the players no longer needed?

Bayern Munich has already signed two new players: Ismael Saibari and Nathaniel Brown. The two transfers cost a combined €105 million. With these signings and the departures of Raphael Guerreiro and Leon Goretzka, the club sees no further need for Zaragoza, Boey, and Palhinha.

What's next?

The three players must now find new clubs. Zaragoza has already attracted interest from LaLiga, while Boey and Palhinha are still searching. Bayern Munich will continue to optimize the squad for the new season.
