Ritsu Doan wants to experience Champions League football next season and is set to leave SC Freiburg this summer. Bayern Munich is reportedly interested in acquiring him, although Eintracht Frankfurt is the current favorite. Doan is contracted with SC Freiburg until 2027, and the club is asking for a transfer fee of up to 20 million Euros. Bayern Munich and competitors are attempting to negotiate the fee down.

Ritsu Doan was considered by FC Bayern but was deemed too lightweight. However, he might be considered as a supplementary player if another top player is signed. The Japanese winger, currently with SC Freiburg, was discussed by Bayern's management as they look to bolster their squad following the failed attempt to sign Florian Wirtz. Despite being evaluated as too lightweight for their primary needs, Doan remains a potential option as an additional squad member should Bayern succeed in securing a top-tier transfer target.
