Bayern Munich Confronts Potential Free Agent Exodus

Bayern Munich’s management faces a significant challenge in the coming months. Five key players’ contracts are set to expire in June 2025, allowing them to negotiate with other clubs starting January. The German giants must act swiftly to convince these stars to renew if they wish to avoid losing them on free transfers.

The players in question are Alphonso Davies, Joshua Kimmich, Leroy Sané, Thomas Müller, and Manuel Neuer. Each case presents unique circumstances:

Davies, the Canadian fullback, is reportedly leaning towards not renewing, with Real Madrid a likely destination. However, rumors of a potential extension persist.

Veterans Neuer and Müller, icons of both Bayern and the German national team, are expected to extend for one more season, potentially their last.

Kimmich, one of the world’s top midfielders, remains uncertain about his future. He plans to make a decision by January after discussions with the club.

Sané’s situation differs, as he has lost prominence in the squad. His high wages make renewal less likely, with Bayern showing interest in potential replacements like Nico Williams.

Additionally, rising star Jamal Musiala, whose contract runs until 2026, has made ambiguous statements about his future, causing concern among fans.

Bayern Munich must act decisively to secure these players’ futures or risk losing them without compensation, potentially weakening the squad significantly.
