FC Bayern München's summer transfer plans are taking shape, with the latest reports linking the club to Newcastle United full-back Valentino Livramento. Our analysis of the past seven days shows the club has been tied to 21 possible arrivals and 10 potential exits, with the hottest storyline currently revolving around Anthony Gordon. The items below represent the latest news on the most important transfer rumours surrounding the club.
Valentino Livramento
According to sources speaking to TEAMtalk on Friday, Bayern Munich have made checks on Newcastle United's 23-year-old full-back Tino Livramento. The move comes as Vincent Kompany's side evaluates defensive reinforcements, reportedly feeling it needs greater quality and depth in the position. With two years remaining on his contract, talks over an extension have stalled, which has reportedly led Newcastle to be prepared to consider offers. Bayern are now conducting further checks to determine if a summer move is viable, though there are some concerns about his recent injury record. The Bundesliga club believes Livramento would be a significant improvement on their current options.
Tornike Kvaratskhelia
On Friday, sporting director Christoph Freund confirmed that the younger brother of PSG star Khvicha Kvaratskhelia, Tornike Kvaratskhelia, is in Munich. Freund confirmed that the prospect visited the club's facilities, trained with the team, and played in a friendly match. He called him a talented young man but stated it would be an exaggeration to say he is as good as his world-class brother, adding that the club will observe how things develop. Tornike Kvaratskhelia is also on the shortlist of Italian clubs.
William Osula
Bayern Munich is examining the situation of William Osula, with Bayer Leverkusen also interested in the 22-year-old Dane, according to a Friday report. Everton and Crystal Palace have also reportedly sought information. Newcastle is demanding more than 46 million euros for the striker, who has a contract until 2029. As Newcastle's management does not intend to offer a contract extension or salary increase, the player's side is said to be increasingly considering a transfer.
Charles De Ketelaere
According to reports from Sacha Tavolieri on Friday, Bayern Munich is increasing its efforts to sign Charles De Ketelaere. The club's executives have reportedly shown concrete interest, and the player has already given his approval for the deal. Personal terms are not expected to be a problem, but Atalanta BC and FC Bayern still need to hold talks, with new discussions scheduled for the coming weeks.
Anthony Gordon
Bayern Munich have already made contact with Newcastle for Anthony Gordon regarding a summer transfer, according to a Friday update. Newcastle manager Eddie Howe responded to the rumors by stating that he has not heard anything regarding conversations between the clubs. On Thursday, Florian Plettenberg reported that club-to-club talks have occurred and that Newcastle’s initial demands were up to €90m. The report added that Bayern will not pay that fee and that discussions with other candidates are ongoing.
Bradley Barcola
Bayern Munich has again shown interest in PSG winger Bradley Barcola, according to Sky on Friday. Sporting director Max Eberl reportedly inquired about a transfer in recent days, but the response from Paris was disappointing. PSG is asking for a fee of 90 million euros, which the German champions reportedly cannot or do not want to pay. Reports also suggest that Barcola is very dissatisfied with his role as a substitute in Paris.
Dušan Vlahović
Dušan Vlahović views Bayern Munich as one of the most interesting destinations for his next club and would agree to a substitute role, according to reports on Thursday. La Gazzetta dello Sport wrote that Vlahović is convinced he will receive more significant offers than Juventus's current renewal proposal. He is reportedly waiting for offers from major foreign clubs such as Bayern Munich, where he is seen as a potential backup for Kane.
