"Bayern are currently not planning a new signing in midfield. Tom Bischof is to be given a bigger role in the position next season. However, the club has made an exception in [Hertha Berlin midfielder] Kennet Eichhorn, as he's considered a big talent for the future to be secured."
"Bischof has had a fairly impressive debut season at Bayern, accruing 30 total appearances across all competitions at the time of writing and doing well despite playing out of position a lot. This follows his incredibly impressive season in the first team at TSG Hoffenheim in the 2024/25 season, in which the 19-year-old developed into one of their best players."
Leon Goretzka will leave Bayern Munich after the 2025/26 season following his decision not to renew his contract. The 31-year-old midfielder departs after eight years and over 450 competitive appearances, leaving a significant leadership void. Bayern's replacement strategy focuses primarily on promoting Tom Bischof, a 19-year-old who impressed at Hoffenheim before joining Bayern. Bischof has accumulated 30 appearances this season despite often playing out of position. Additionally, Bayern is considering securing Kennet Eichhorn, a 16-year-old Hertha Berlin midfielder who has impressed in the 2. Bundesliga. The club believes its summer signings adequately addressed midfield needs, making major new acquisitions unnecessary.
