Bayern Munich finished the season with a 3-0 DFB Pokal win over VfB Stuttgart, adding to domestic trophies including the DFL Supercup and Bundesliga. The club reached the Champions League semi-finals but were eliminated by Paris Saint-Germain on a 6-5 aggregate. Players will rest briefly before joining national teams for the World Cup, while club leadership begins transfer planning as the window opens in mid-June. Bayern are not expected to make major changes, but they aim to add one player each in midfield, defense, and attack to improve options for next season. Leon Goretzka will leave on a free transfer, and Bayern want a young midfielder to replace him. Kennet Eichhorn is a primary midfield target, though Manchester City is also pursuing him and may loan him to Bayer Leverkusen.
"Bayern Munich ended the season strongly as they lifted the DFB Pokal after clinching a 3-0 win against VfB Stuttgart on Saturday. The Bavarian club enjoyed domestic success this season, winning the DFL Supercup, Bundesliga, and DFB Pokal. Bayern also reached the semi-finals of the Champions League, only to be knocked out by defending champions Paris Saint-Germain by a slender margin of 6-5."
"The players will get rest for a few days before joining up with the national team for the World Cup. Meanwhile, the club chiefs will start working on transfers as the summer window opens in mid-June. In an ideal scenario, getting big chunk of transfer business is done before the World Cup."
"Bayern are not expected to make significant changes to the squad. They need to make one addition in midfield, defense, and attack to improve Kompany's options for next season. In the center of the park, Bayern bid goodbye to Leon Goretzka on Saturday. The German midfielder is leaving the club on a free transfer in the summer."
""When you see Kenny Eichhorn, we wouldn't be doing our job properly if we didn't consider him. Now we have to see if it's a fit and what his and his management's vision is. Whether it actually happens is a completely different matter.""
