Anthony Gordon’s move to FC Barcelona removes Bayern’s primary transfer target, with a reported fee of about 80 million euros all in. That amount would have placed the 25-year-old Englishman among Bayern’s most expensive transfers historically. Bayern’s sport board member Max Eberl expects further squad restructuring without radical changes, citing several contract extensions and a well-balanced squad. Leon Goretzka, Raphaël Guerreiro, and Nicolas Jackson departures create three key gaps that Bayern aims to fill with qualitatively superior players. Bayern still has roughly a month before the transfer window begins to adjust plans after missing out on Gordon.
"“We will take further steps and restructure the squad without being radical,” the former Borussia Mönchengladbach sporting director explained (as captured by @iMiaSanMia). “We have made several contract extensions. Our squad is so well-balanced that we won't be making many changes, except perhaps for one or two positions.”"
