Other options under consideration

Bayern Munich is also looking at former Arsenal goalkeeper Wojciech Szczesny from Juventus. However, reports from Italian publication La Repubblica suggest that the Italian club is unwilling to let him go. This means that Bayern Munich will have to explore other alternatives.

Yan Sommer’s potential departure

The German club’s quest for a goalkeeper is driven not only by Neuer’s injury troubles but also the potential departure of their current backup, Yan Sommer. The Swiss shot-stopper is believed to be eager to join Inter Milan, making it crucial for Bayern Munich to strengthen its goalkeeping options.

Shortlist of goalkeepers

If neither de Gea nor Szczesny is available, Bayern Munich has several other notable names on their shortlist. Brentford’s David Raya is one of them, but the Premier League club is demanding a steep transfer fee of £40 million. Meanwhile, Bayern Munich’s manager, Thomas Tuchel, reportedly has reservations about Raya’s height, as the Spanish goalkeeper stands at just 1.83 meters tall.

Other potential candidates include Yassine Bounou of Sevilla, Giorgi Mamardashvili of Valencia, Robert Sanchez of Brighton, and Kamil Grabara of FC Copenhagen. Each of these individuals brings their unique abilities and experiences, ensuring that Bayern Munich’s search for a top-class goalkeeper will be nothing short of thorough.

Interest in Harry Kane

Aside from their pursuit of a goalkeeper, Bayern Munich is also interested in English striker Harry Kane. The Tottenham Hotspur forward is one of the most sought-after talents in European football, with an impressive goal-scoring record and undeniable skill. However, the hefty transfer price remains a significant obstacle for Bayern Munich and other potential suitors.

Conclusion

Bayern Munich is leaving no stone unturned in their quest to reinforce their squad. The addition of a world-class goalkeeper, along with a prolific striker like Kane, would undoubtedly solidify their status as one of Europe’s elite football clubs. It remains to be seen which of these talented individuals will join Bayern Munich next season, but exciting times lie ahead for the German superclub and its fans.
