Key Takeaways
- Bayern Munich want to sell seven players during the summer transfer window.
- Six stars currently on loan face uncertain futures, with only two likely to join their temporary clubs permanently.
- Defenders Min-jae Kim and Hiroki Ito are also available for transfer if suitable offers arrive.
Bayern Munich are planning a major squad clear-out this summer. The German giants hope to sell seven first-team players before the start of next season.
Six of these players are currently on loan at other European clubs. Portuguese midfielder Joao Palhinha is at Tottenham Hotspur, while Spanish winger Bryan Zaragoza plays for AS Roma. Turkey’s Galatasaray have Sacha Boey, and goalkeeper Daniel Peretz is at Southampton FC. The list also includes young forward Arijon Ibrahimović at 1. FC Heidenheim and shot-stopper Alexander Nübel at VfB Stuttgart.
Four of these loan deals contain purchase options. However, reports suggest only two clubs will likely trigger these clauses. Galatasaray appear ready to sign Boey permanently, while Southampton want to keep Peretz on a full-time basis.
Apart from the loan group, Bayern are also willing to sell centre-back Min-jae Kim. The South Korea international has spent much of the season as a substitute. Although he recently stated he is happy with his squad role, the club still views him as a candidate for sale.
Finally, left-back Hiroki Ito could also leave the Allianz Arena. According to Sky Germany, the Bavarian side would consider offers for the Japanese defender if the price is right.
