Despite a small squad, big ambitions & money available, Bayern München is moving very cautious in the winter transfer period so far, focusing on loan & short-term deals. A result of uncertain futures of key-players & an attempt to keep a big budget to improve in the needed areas upcoming summer. In order reach the clubs biggest target, playing a second „Finale Dahoam“ in the 2025, this transfer window has to be NAILED ON.
Will give my thoughts & try to unravel this complicated current squad situation by addressing every area of it:
The Elephant in the room - Tuchel or Alonso?
Let’s get it out of the room first. The coach is a never ending topic for Bayern last years. Unfortunately, it’s also a very crucial one when it comes to planning/putting a squad together. But I tried to make this thread as indifferently from the manager choice as much as possible, so that it could work out with either of them.
