Bayern Munich is currently prioritizing the departures of four players: Matthijs de Ligt, Noussair Mazraoui, Bryan Zaragoza, and Kingsley Coman. The club’s transfer strategy appears to be a complex domino effect, with each move contingent on another. Jonathan Tah’s potential move to Bayern is waiting on de Ligt’s transfer to Manchester United, which in turn may depend on the Red Devils selling another player.
🚨🔴 From FC Bayern's perspective, the offer from Manchester United for Matthijs de Ligt is still not sufficient to proceed with the deal!
The two clubs remain apart on the transfer fee. Bayern still demand €50m + bonuses.

Under the new manager Vincent Kompany, who succeeded Thomas Tuchel, Bayern is looking to reshape its squad after a trophyless 2023/24 season. The Bavarian giants have already made significant acquisitions, bringing in Joao Palhinha from Fulham and Michael Olise from Crystal Palace. Additionally, Josip Stanisic returns to the squad after a season-long loan at Bayer Leverkusen.
The departures are crucial for Bayern as they aim to balance their squad and finances. De Ligt’s potential move to Manchester United could set off a chain reaction, allowing the club to finalize other deals. Bryan Zaragoza and Kingsley Coman are also on the transfer list, with the former likely to go on loan and the latter either on loan or permanent move.
