Season Start with Thin Attack
Bayern Munich began the 2025/26 season with a weak offensive lineup. The attack, consisting of Harry Kane, Michael Olise, and Luis Díaz, remained the only stable component despite good health. The lack of depth was seen as the team's Achilles' heel.
Safety Measures in the Transfer Window
After a year of injury problems for Alphonso Davies and Jamal Musiala, the club signed two new players: Nathaniel Brown and Ismael Saibari. These signings were meant to strengthen the defense and reduce reliance on injury-prone players.
Bayern's Decision: No More Signings
According to Sport Bild, reported by Christian Falk and Julian Agardi, the club's supervisory board has decided that no further players will be signed in the summer of 2025, even if players such as João Palhinha, Sacha Boey, and Bryan Zaragoza are sold. The board agrees that no new transfers are necessary.
Kompany's Stance Remains Unclear
Whether Vincent Kompany shares the board's decision is still unknown. The manager has emphasized that the current squad is sufficient to achieve the goals.
Future of the Team
Despite the decision not to bring in new players, the question remains whether the team's depth can match that of PSG under Luis Enrique or Arsenal under Mikel Arteta. Fans will likely discuss the quality of depth next season, while the board believes it has addressed the weaknesses from the previous year.
