"There are two reasons as to why the transfer strategy is not being changed: Firstly, the sporting success is good, and secondly, money is still not as available as it once was. Salary costs haven't decreased enough to allow for major signings. And: there's no Club World Cup this summer, which had boosted Bayern's finances in 2025 and prevented the club from making a loss."
"It is easier to manage a smaller group of players, divvy up minutes, and keep the locker room happy. This season, the only reported issue was with Sacha Boey, who was promptly shipped out on loan. Kompany does not appear to be a massive fan of rotating too much and smaller roster makes that immensely easier for him as can spend more time developing an opinion on where each player is with this game and"
Bayern Munich plans to maintain a relatively small squad next season, keeping roughly the same roster size as the current campaign. The club will continue a 'sell and then buy' approach to transfers rather than expanding squad depth. Two main reasons drive the plan: ongoing sporting success and constrained finances. Salary costs remain high and have not fallen enough to permit major signings. The absence of a Club World Cup this summer removes an earlier revenue boost that helped avoid losses. Vincent Kompany's coaching style aligns with a smaller squad because management, rotation, and player communication become easier. Squad versatility among players helps offset limited numbers.
