"Over the summer, Bayern Munich acquired the likes of Tom Bischof and Jonathan Tah on free transfers from Hoffenheim and Leverkusen. After two free transfers, Bayern completed a marquee signing of Luiz Diaz for €75 million from Liverpool. They rounded off the summer with the loan acquisition of Nicolas Jackson from Chelsea for €16.50 million. Despite the four signings, the transfer window was disappointing for Die Roten."
"Compared to acquisitions, there were 17 departures from the first team and the reserves team. Although 17-year-old attacking sensation Lennart Karl was promoted to the senior squad, based on the current situation with long-term injuries, the squad is still thin and short of experienced personnel. Bayern managed to achieve a surplus of €10.15 million in transfer activity."
"Luis Diaz might have been the marquee summer signing, but it's no secret that he wasn't the first, second, or even the third choice option to bolster the attacking department. In reality, after failing to land the likes of Florian Wirtz, Nico Williams, and Bradley Barcola, the 28-year-old Colombian was acquired out of necessity. His price tag of €75 million has made him a polarizing figure."
Bayern Munich signed Tom Bischof and Jonathan Tah on free transfers, paid €75 million for Luiz Diaz, and loaned Nicolas Jackson for €16.50 million. Seventeen players departed from the first-team and reserves, and the promotion of 17-year-old Lennart Karl did not compensate for multiple long-term injuries, leaving the squad thin and light on experience. Transfer activity produced a €10.15 million surplus, but that sum did not resolve depth issues. Club decision-making favored financial prudence, leading to missed targets and accepting Diaz as a necessity rather than a primary choice.
