Quite a few FC Bayern players face an unclear future. But here are five players show the tendency to say goodbye.
Trainer Hansi Flick and Thomas Müller recently extended contract until 2023, Thiagos' signature just a matter of form. David Alaba and Manuel Neuer also want to keep staying at Bayern, but there is still a need for discussion. Five or more professionals could meanwhile leave Munich.
Jérôme Boateng: "I don't have to get the hell out of Bayern, I still have a contract," emphasized the world champion in the Kicker. But if Niklas Süle is fit again, the bank threatens.
Bayern are already looking for a new right foot for the defense center, it is said. And Boateng? It could pull him into the Premier League a second time. Chelsea and Arsenal have shown interest in the former Manchester City star, according to FT.
Álvaro Odriozola: The Spaniard came from Real Madrid on loan in winter, but was not able to convince in his two partial appearances.
There is no purchase option, the Bavarians are already looking for a new right-back. Sergiño Dest (19) from Ajax Amsterdam is a candidate.
Philippe Coutinho: Bayern probably planning without the Brazilian loanee and Coutinho also has no future at FC Barcelona.
Consultant Kia Joorabchian says Coutinho "would love to play again in England." The ex-Liverpool star is said to have received requests from Chelsea, Arsenal, Tottenham, Manchester United and Leicester City.
It is still unclear what will happen to the substitute goalkeeper Sven Ulreich, Christian Früchtl and Ron-Thorben Hoffmann. With Alexander Nübel as a new keeper joining Bayern in future, it is not to be expected that all three will continue to stay at Bayern.
