"Bayern Munich will dip into the transfer market at the end of the season to strengthen the midfield department. The Bavarian club recently ended speculation around the future of Leon Goretzka by confirming his departure at the end of the season. Goretzka was subject to bids from Atletico Madrid and Arsenal, but he wanted to end the campaign with Bayern. The record Bundesliga champions will have to look for Goretzka's replacement in the summer. They have been heavily linked with Club Brugge midfielder Nathan De Cat during the first half of the season. In recent weeks, Hertha's teenage midfield sensation Kennet Eichhorn has been touted to be a midfield target for Bayern."
"Since Leon Goretzka is leaving Munich, Schlager could be a good fit. He's available on a free transfer, has international experience, and has known the Bundesliga for years. And in Leipzig, he's not just responsible for the physical work, but also contributes to the team's attacking play."
"Schlager will be a free agent in the summer as he decided against signing a new deal at Leipzig. He can make a move to Munich on a free transfer just like Laimer did in 2023."
Bayern Munich will seek midfield reinforcements at season's end after confirming Leon Goretzka will depart. Goretzka attracted bids from Atletico Madrid and Arsenal but will finish the campaign with Bayern. The squad must find a replacement and has been linked to Club Brugge's Nathan De Cat and Hertha's teenage Kennet Eichhorn as youthful targets. Xaver Schlager of RB Leipzig emerges as a domestic option and will be a free agent after declining a new contract. Schlager offers Bundesliga and international experience, strong physical work rate, and attacking contributions similar to Konrad Laimer. Leipzig will lose a key midfield presence.
