The latest transfer updates concerning FC Bayern München feature a new target from the Eredivisie, with PSV Eindhoven's Ismael Saibari emerging as a potential midfield reinforcement. Our analysis of the past seven days shows the club has been tied to 23 possible arrivals and 11 potential exits, and the reports below detail the latest news on the most important of these transfer rumours. The hottest storyline right now revolves around Bayer Leverkusen's Christian Kofane.
Ismael Saibari
On Tuesday, it was reported that Bayern Munich is interested in Ismael Saibari, a 25-year-old Moroccan midfielder whose contract with PSV Eindhoven runs until June 30, 2029. The midfielder, who recently won the Dutch championship, is reportedly prepared to join a new team. Other major clubs are also interested, with La Gazette dello Sport reporting that PSG is preparing a summer offer and AC Milan is also monitoring the player. PSV coach Peter Bosz recently stated that Saibari is worth more than €60 million.
Gregor Kobel
On Friday, reports indicated that Bayern Munich are monitoring Gregor Kobel as they prepare for a time after Manuel Neuer. The 28-year-old Swiss international goalkeeper, whose contract with Dortmund runs until June 2028, is also being tracked by Chelsea and Newcastle. It is reported that his situation is being observed by several clubs.
Christian Kofane
On Friday, Christian Kofane's agent, Eric Depolo, confirmed that a list of clubs interested in the player includes Bayern Munich. However, according to journalist Florian Plettenberg, Bayern is not pursuing the signing of the player this summer, as their priority is extending Harry Kane's contract. Bayer Leverkusen is open to Kofane's departure and has set a price of 60-70 million euros.
Vinícius Júnior
Intermediaries contacted Bayern Munich on Sunday regarding the potential availability of Vinícius Júnior this summer. As he approaches the final year of his current deal, it is understood he could receive a basic salary similar to Kylian Mbappé's. Real Madrid and Vinicius have resumed contract talks, but no agreement has yet been reached, and the Spanish club has informed the player’s representatives their latest offer will not be improved. A sale would be approved if a new deal is not signed to avoid losing him on a free transfer in 2027. Sources suggest Bayern are closely following the situation, but there is a belief Vinicius is not actively seeking to leave Madrid.
Enzo Fernández
According to a TEAMtalk report on Saturday, Bayern Munich are closely monitoring the situation of Enzo Fernández. Chelsea are determined to retain the midfielder, and while the club accepts that every player has a price, any potential deal would need to exceed the fee of considerably over £100 million that they paid for him.
Bruno Fernandes
On Friday, it was reported that Bayern Munich are interested in Bruno Fernandes. Manchester United’s official position is that the Portugal international is not for sale, but they recognize that he is about to turn 32. Some people at United have a concern that this year could be the ideal time to sell him. The player is aware he will receive massive offers from Saudi clubs, which could lead United to decide not to make a significant effort to keep a player whose attention has been diverted.
Nathan De Cat
Florian Plettenberg of 'Sky Sports' reported on Friday that Nathan De Cat is not a priority for Bayern Munich. Plettenberg also stated that Kennet Eichhorn, a 16-year-old from Hertha BSC, is preferred. According to the report, Bayern would only fully pursue De Cat if Eichhorn proves unattainable, with an estimated transfer fee of around 20 to 25 million euros plus bonuses and a sell-on clause.
