Bayern Munich MUST, WILL, MUST, win the Champions League and have decided to make historic investments in players this summer. But there will be more, guaranteed.
The Bavarian giants have already set out to spend a lot of money this summer, but they have decided to raise more money to make a big purchase this summer.

Bayern Munich have set themselves an ambitious goal for this summer transfer window: to complete the sale of five players before chasing a star signing to bolster their attack. The strategy, drawn up by sporting director Max Eberl, aims to free up salary capacity and generate income that will enable a significant investment in the attacking players. In total, the club expects to be able to raise up to 165 million euros through these transfers.
The five sales Bayern want to make
The list of players who could leave the club includes big names. Kingsley Coman and Kim Min-jae are the most valuable assets. Both are wanted by Saudi Arabian clubs, with Al-Nassr being particularly interested, and could go for around 35 million euros each.
João Palhinha is also a possible departure. The Portuguese midfielder has a market value of between €30 million and €35 million, with Premier League clubs and Benfica among the potential buyers.

In addition, Bayern are considering ending the loan stay of Sacha Boey, who could return to Galatasaray, as well as the sale of goalkeeper Daniel Peretz – with PSV as a possible destination for a sum of around 8 million euros.
These possible transfers follow already confirmed sales, such as Mathys Tel to Tottenham and Frans Krätzig to RB Salzburg.
New reinforcements and attack targets
At the same time, Bayern have already brought in reinforcements such as Jonathan Tah and Tom Bischof, and are now working to secure a top attacking player. Names like Nico Williams, Rafael Leão and Bradley Barcola are on the wish list.
The club’s sporting management is aiming for a balanced transfer window that both strengthens the team and keeps the finances in check – without sacrificing their ambitions in the fight for both the Bundesliga title and the Champions League.
