"Sure, the Bavarians struggled to offload players and shed salaries and also struggled to land some of their preferred targets. But they did end up with some promising players, like Luis Díaz from Liverpool and Tom Bischof on a free transfer from TSG Hoffenheim. And as thin as the Bayern roster looks now...reinforcements are due to come from within."
"Uli is right - although November might be an aggressive timeline in cases like Musiala, who suffered a fractured fibula in July. This Bayern team will get stronger as the year goes on, provided it can weather the storm - and avoid more freak injuries - in the Hinrunde. And Bayern took care of key business last spring, too, by extending the likes of Musiala, Davies, and Joshua Kimmich to begin with."
"The transfer window was pure chaos, but fortunately, at the end of it all the situation is not all bad. The most high-profile signing, Díaz, still represents progress in the board's desired project of bringing the wage structure under control. The jury is going to be out for a long time, however, about the consequences of the loan-only policy that restricted the search for Kingsley Coman's replacement and ended up with Nicolas Jackson on a loan with a potential obligation to buy."
Bayern Munich faced difficulty offloading players, shedding salaries, and landing several preferred transfer targets. The club signed promising additions such as Luis Díaz from Liverpool and Tom Bischof on a free transfer from Hoffenheim. Internal reinforcements are expected as Jamal Musiala, Alphonso Davies, and Hiroki Itō are likely available from November, though Musiala's fractured fibula makes that timeline optimistic. The club extended key contracts for Musiala, Davies, and Joshua Kimmich last spring. The window was chaotic but Díaz supports wage-structure goals. Uncertainty remains over the loan-only policy that led to Nicolas Jackson's loan and could have long-term consequences.
