"Since Bayern Munich won the sextuple in 2020, the club's transfer business has revolved more around panic moves rather than collaborative squad planning. This has been especially true during the winter transfer windows. Bayern has made some weird moves, including: Sacha Boey: €30M transfer Bryan Zaragoza: €4M loan fee Yann Sommer: €9M transfer for six-month contract Daley Blind: Free transfer João Cancelo: Six-month loan spell"
"In an interview with Sky Sport (via @iMiaSanMia), Bayern sporting director Christoph Freund said, "we've learned in football to never rule anything out completely, but it's not planned because we're well-equipped and very important players are returning, Hiroki Itō and hopefully Alphonso Davies, and then Jamal Musiala. Hopefully, those will be our winter signings, and then we'll be very, very well-equipped.""
Bayern Munich moved from collaborative long-term transfer planning to reactive, panic-driven winter signings after the 2020 sextuple. The club made several unconventional winter moves, including Sacha Boey (€30M), Bryan Zaragoza (€4M loan fee), Yann Sommer (€9M for six months), Daley Blind (free), and João Cancelo (six-month loan). A few deals succeeded, such as Jonas Urbig and Eric Dier. Sporting director Christoph Freund emphasized confidence in the current squad with returning players Hiroki Itō, Alphonso Davies (hopeful), and Jamal Musiala as likely winter reinforcements. The club can now focus on younger prospects and contract renewals for veterans.
