"At the midway point of the season, it is fair to look back at Bayern Munich's summer transfer window and what we all thought about it back then. As it turns out, Bayern Munich adding Jonathan Tah, Luis Díaz, and Tom Bischof was a master stoke by board member for sport Max Eberl and his staff. Simply put, it was a very encouraging summer from a squad planning standpoint. However, it was not all about the additions, but also the subtractions."
"Bayern Munich sold the following players Mathys Tel (€35 million, Tottenham Hotspur), Kingsley Coman (€25 million, Al Nassr), Paul Wanner (€15 million, PSV Eindhoven), Adam Aznou (€9 million, Everton), Frans Krätzig (€3.5 million, Red Bull Salzburg), and Gabriel Vidović (€1.2 million, Dinamo Zagreb). Meanwhile, Bayern Munich loaned out João Palhinha (€5 million loan fee, Tottenham Hotspur), Jonah Kusi-Asare (€4 million loan fee, Fulham FC), Bryan Zaragoza (€1 million loan fee, Celta Vigo), and Daniel Peretz (€250k, Hamburger SV). Arijon Ibrahimović, Maurice Krattenmacher, Lovro Zvonarek, and Tarek Buchmann had no reported fees associated with their loans. Finally, Bayern Munich also allowed Leroy Sané, Eric Dier, and Thomas Müller all to leave on free transfers."
"As important as the incoming transfers were, the sales, loans, and overall exits were just as important for a variety of reasons. When you look at that laundry list of exits, you exhale ( because, damn, that is a lot of names) you realize that this season represented a changing of the guard and the continued transition from an older generation to a...somewhat younger generation."
