FC Bayern | Transfer-winter at the check: Daring experiments or smart strategy?

The Deadline Day is history, as so often in the past few years at Bayern in the winter transfer window does not happen at a first glance too much. However, closer inspection, the German record champion has set the course. A weakness, however, was not resolved.

• Why Bayern currently focused on the own player
• FC Bayern delivers many talents
• Does the FC Bayern replacement for Niklas Süle?
• full-back problem without external solution

On the last day of the January transfer window it was in the end a little fidgety Sabener road. The reason, however, was not the transfer of a well-known player but the symbolic contract extension with Paul Wanner, that 16-year-old gem that had made in recent weeks, so much attention to himself and was often courted.

“Paul is that we want to promote a special talent,” enthused coach Julian Nagelsmann of enforcement. Wanner is not the first piece in the big puzzle squad takes on Bayern for the coming seasons, which increasingly shape.

About two weeks earlier, the Munich-based extended already Kingsley Coman. The 25-year-old Frenchman has been linked to the 2027th The contracts of Joshua Kimmich (2025) and Leon Goretzka (2026), have been significantly adjusted in the first half of the season and extended. Further extensions are to follow: Manuel Neuer, Serge Gnabry and not least Thomas Müller and Robert Lewandowski are likely the next major construction of the bosses to be.

Why Bayern currently focused on the own player

The thought of external reinforcements currently plays a minor role. Money does not flow in transfers, but the extensions with the service providers. However, this is also not surprising, has become the Bayern but put together one of the best team in Europe and at the same screwed massively in the training and integration of youth.

A key role was played here last also Nagelsmann. “By Julian came in an additional dynamic. He enjoys it to develop talent,” Holger Seitz, the Niklas Süles director of the Bavaria-campus praised the new coach of “image”.

Creates a talent not jumped immediately, it must be proved on loan. As with U23 player Bright Akwo Arrey-Mbi. The 18-year-old center-back joined on deadline day for eighteen months 1. FC Köln on. 2023 he could return strengthened, precisely at the time when Benjamin Pavard, Lucas Hernandez and Co. go into their last year of the contract.

FC Bayern delivers many talents

Elsewhere was cleaned powerful: players who are no longer trusts the breakthrough, have been returned or could even go. U23 Left Wing Nemanja Motika intended to “Sky” info are still sold for two million euros to Red Star Belgrade, the unfortunate interlude of Michael Cuisance has already ended in early January and the midfielder, who in 2019 was for eight million euros from Gladbach, for after all, still four million euros sold to FC Venice.

Oliver Batista Meyer as Motika sniffing from the U23 and long time on the professional team, left the Munich and changed at the beginning of the year fix to Dynamo Dresden. The eternal talent Adrian fine also joined the Saxony, but only until the summer after fine had broken its previous and unfortunate borrowing for SpVgg Greuther Fürth. Conceivable that Hasan Salihamidzic and Co. in the summer draw a line under the chapter.

The same fate also befell that is indeed the DFB Cup against Bremer SV in August his pro debut, celebrated after the season but free transfer in the direction of Utrecht move Taylor Booth.

A little under the radar was also borrowing from Liu Shaoziyang. The promising goalkeeper talent was committed until the beginning of December 2025, is now but “take the next step in its development” in the coming year and a half in Austria Klagenfurt as campus director said Sauer.

Does the FC Bayern replacement for Niklas Süle?

was rumored least that Munich could grab the churners Matthias Ginter to replace Niklas Süle, who will leave the series champions in the summer. But Ginter was (for now) in Gladbach and is, according to “Niklas Süle 1” no longer hot topic at Bayern.

Whether any replacement for Süle is necessary also remains questionable. Finally, the former board chairman Karl-Heinz Rummenigge said in “Sky”: “You have to say that Bayern is also well cast in defense without Niklas Süle.”

A replacement for Süle do not need it, so Rummenigge on. “Dayot upamecano It has brought, I well think. It has Lucas Hernández few years ago, committed which has now been established. One has the young Tanguy Nianzou this and you have Benjamin Pavard still theoretically in central defense,” led the former FCB boss from. “There is no need to bring someone.”

full-back problem without external solution

With a view of the outer-protein positions, however, FC Bayern could have had to reinstate in winter. Because not only Slee played at times due to the narrow cadring rear right in the defense. Even the left-back position is a problem site according to the bad news about Alphonso Davies and his heart muscle ignition. Over the past few weeks and months, there were always rumors around a transfer of Sergino Dest. The right-back, which can also be used on the left, also complained about too little playing at FC Barcelona and was already traded in the dealers according to “ESPN”. But a transfer did not materialize. Well possible that those responsible also want to put here more on the internal solution: Josip Stanisic. The hopes for the future are resting on the young Croatian national player. Not completely random was also extended with him in mid-October to 2025. Chris Rohdenburg
