"It was a difficult summer transfer window for Bayern Munich. They were hoping to seal the deal for Florian Wirtz early in the summer. After laying down the groundwork during the second half of the season for this signing, Wirtz decided to opt for a move to Liverpool. After missing out on Wirtz, Bayern switched their attention to signing wingers since they lost Leroy Sane on a free transfer to Galatasaray."
"I can't relate to this argument. We started the season with 22 players, and when the long-term injured Alphonso Davies, Jamal Musiala, and Hiroki Itō Ito are back, we'll still have a somewhat smaller squad of 25, but one that is very capable. When scouting, we also paid close attention to the injury record of our new players. What good is a big squad if part of it is constantly in rehab? We also wanted to make space for young players."
Bayern Munich missed several primary transfer targets this summer, notably Florian Wirtz who chose Liverpool, and wingers Nico Williams and Bradley Barcola who stayed at their clubs. The club pursued Luis Diaz from Liverpool, reportedly paying over the odds, and failed to agree a fee for Nick Woltemade, who joined Newcastle United. A deadline-day loan for Nicolas Jackson added attacking depth amid criticism that the window left Vincent Kompany with a smaller squad. Sporting director Max Eberl defended the approach, citing current injuries, attention to newcomers' injury records, space for youth, and limited winter spending plans.
