Bayern Munich are exploring transfer options to strengthen full-back positions. Interest in Feyenoord’s Givairo Read has reportedly cooled, and no other full-back links are concrete at present. Reinforcements are needed because Raphael Guerreiro is leaving on a free transfer, Sacha Boey is being considered for a permanent exit after a successful loan at Galatasaray, and Alphonso Davies has struggled with injuries, increasing the need for left-back depth. Konrad Laimer has been a reliable right-back, but contract talks have stalled and he will enter the final year of his deal. Josip Stanisic is the only injury-free full-back with a long-term contract. Bayern do not actively need central defense cover unless departures occur, though versatile options like Guerreiro could fit. Bayern are also linked with Benfica defender Tomas Araujo, who can play center defense and right-back, has made 32 appearances this season, and earned a spot in Portugal’s World Cup squad. Benfica are expected to demand a significant fee because his contract runs until 2029.
"Bayern Munich are exploring options in the transfer market to strengthen the full-back positions. The Bavarian club was heavily linked with Feyenoord's Givairo Read, but this move has reportedly cooled down. Bayern are not concretely linked with other full-backs as of now."
"Die Roten need reinforcements in the full-back positions since Raphael Guerreiro is leaving the club on a free transfer. The Bavarian club is also looking for a permanent exit for Sacha Boey after his successful loan spell at Galatasaray. Alphonso Davies has struggled with injuries this season, which reinforces the need for depth in the left-back position."
"Konrad Laimer has been a reliable right-back, but talks for a new deal have stalled. As things stand, Laimer will enter the final year of his contract next season. Josip Stanisic is the only full-back option who looks injury free and has a long-term contract sorted at Die Roten."
"According to TZ (via iMiaSanMia), Bayern are interested in Benfica defender Tomas Araujo. The 23-year-old defender can play in the heart of the defense and right-back position for Benfica. Araujo has been a key player for Benfica this season, playing 32 games across all competitions. Araujo's good performances at the club level helped him earn a spot in Portugal's World Cup squad. Benfica will ask for a formidable fee for the young defender since his current deal expires in 2029."
