They are already planning for the pre-season. Bayern are a massive club, with a huge fan following, and pre-seasons are not only meant to keep players in proper physical shape but also to grow their brand image.

Top European clubs now look to tap into the huge football craze in Asian countries, which not only yields revenue but also helps build PR and global image.
It is no longer a secret that Bayern Munich have to sign a midfielder at the end of the season. They have already made a big decision to part ways with Leon Goretzka. The German midfielder will be leaving on a free transfer at the end of the season. Bayern are going to bring a young midfielder to replace Goretzka in the squad. It does look like they may look at an internal option first before thinking about looking for external signings.
It's sure to be magnificent! We're already really looking forward to 1 April and our third game of the season at the Allianz Arena. We'll need the support of every single fan in the stands as we battle for a place in the Champions League semi-finals. After Leverkusen and Arsenal, we want to get our third win in the third game at the Allianz Arena and it'll definitely be a cracker against Manchester United or Atlético Madrid.
