Bayern Munich were expected to have a busy transfer window this summer, especially given the fact that they had their first trophyless season in the 11 years last term. The idea was that too many players on the team’s books had grown too content and were not hungry enough, after more than a decade of continued success. However, so far, the board have struggled to find interested clubs willing to pay reasonable prices. In some cases, the players have decided to continue fighting for their place in the side. As new coach Vincent Kompany took over in July with new ideas of his own, Last Word on Football has put together a Bayern Munich predicted lineup for the 2024/25 season.

Players Departing Bayern Munich This Summer
Only Bouna Sarr and Eric-Maxim Choupo-Moting have left the club from last season’s squad on a permanent basis. In both cases, the player’s contract expired and was not renewed by the club. Neither of them has yet found a new team. Apart from them, new summer signing Bryan Zaragoza, who came in on loan in January from Granada CF, failed to impress during his first six months in the Bavarian capital. He has been loaned to CA Osasuna for the time being.
