Looking for some good discussion on Bayern Munich and whatever topics come to your head? Well, we have you covered with a new feature called "BFW Office Hours." We might have named it "BFW After Hours" but no one wants to see Chuck in a silk robe drinking an Old Fashioned, do they? So, spend the next hour with Alberto, BFW's official Mexican and let's chop it up!
He's an interesting player, but when I spoke with some guys from Bayern, they said they didn't need these rumours at the moment they wanted a quiet transfer window. Julian Alvarez of Atletico Madrid looks on (Photo by Angel Martinez/Getty Images) So they won't go for him at the moment. They'd love to have a player like him in the team, but with a contract until 2030, it's a no-go.
Michael Olise is a bit of an enigma. Since arriving from Crystal Palace in the summer of 2024, the Bayern Munich winger has barely shown an ounce of emotion, despite wracking up goals and assists in the league and in Europe. His signature celebration is relatively sedate, and he rarely ever gets riled up by the opposition. This stoic demeanor has resulted in his being labeled "nonchalant" and an "aura farmer" by fans of the club.
In Christoph [Freund], Vinnie [Kompany] and me, you've got three people responsible who all had to come through the youth ranks. We are cautious but also careful. Lennart Karl is the rising star at the moment. We also have a lot of lads who train with the first team on a regular basis,
"Before I moved to Munich, I couldn't imagine that Bayern stars could be so normal. I don't even know what I expected. Maybe that they'd be unapproachable," Bischof admitted (as captured by X account @iMiaSanMia). "But not at all. First, [Joshua] Kimmich's message surprised me. Then an encounter with Manuel Neuer. I was in the elevator with Aleks Pavlović, and then he came in. And he was so funny, so down-to-earth, so amusing, and above all, so nice. The Bayern dressing room is truly an exceptional place. A place full of energy and determination, yet still comfortable."
Do you want to engage in some good discussion? We've got "Office Hours" coming your way! The best part of BFW is talking about and discussing Bayern Munich - and all of the other common interests we've got. This is a great time to do just that! Want to tell Chuck his takes suck? There is a time for that!
Bayern's U-23s hosted Regionalliga Südwest side SGV Freiberg for a friendly to regain match fitness and emerged with a dull 0-0 draw. No highlights were made available. However, there were multiple interesting changes to the squad. The likes of left back Deniz Ofli and midfielder Maycon Cardozo are now fully integrated in the squad after spending the first half of the seasons with the U-19s.
