Market12 Oct 2026

Joshua Kimmich linked with a move away

The name of Joshua Kimmich keeps appearing in other people's back pages. Bayern Munich say nothing, which says plenty.

Squad12 Oct 2026

Harry Kane named player of the week

One weekend, judged against everybody else's. Harry Kane has come out on top of it, and for most footballers a weekly award is the only silverware a career ever produces.

Looking ahead12 Oct 2026

A reunion for Nathaniel Brown

He used to wear the other shirt. On Saturday he plays against Eintracht Frankfurt in this one, and whatever he says this week about it being just another game will be untrue.

The dugout12 Oct 2026

A door opens for Raphaël Guerreiro

He asked about his future and was given an answer with minutes in it. The manager has now made a promise in a building where promises are remembered, and the clock on it has started.

Ralph Schmidt knocks on the manager’s door

“Thirty minutes, door closed, everything said. We shook hands after.” Whatever was in the room stayed in the room, and Ralph Schmidt trained the next morning like a man with less to carry.

Squad12 Oct 2026

Ismael Saibari has settled at Bayern Munich

The shrug has gone, the language is coming, and he now argues in training like somebody who expects to be here next year. Half a signing's value is this and none of it appears on a fee.

Transfer targets24 Aug 2026

Door shut on Jonathan Burkardt

Bayern Munich asked and Eintracht Frankfurt said no without discussing a figure. It is the least ambiguous answer in football and the one clubs most often come back to test.

Market24 Aug 2026

Bayern Munich sell Lennart Karl for $10.5M

Lennart Karl has left for Eintracht Frankfurt in a $10.5M deal. The accountants are pleased; the supporters are less certain.

Market24 Aug 2026

RB Leipzig join the queue for Raphaël Guerreiro

Add another name to the list: RB Leipzig have asked the question everybody in the game has been asking about Raphaël Guerreiro. The answer from Bayern Munich has not changed — yet.

Boardroom24 Aug 2026

The ground is getting bigger

The plans are signed off at a capacity of 104529. Decisions like this are judged twenty years later, by people who were not in the room when they were taken.

Squad24 Aug 2026

Marcel Hofmann signs on for more

“Some decisions take a long time. This one took ten minutes, and most of that was finding a pen.” Marcel Hofmann and Bayern Munich agree another 3 years.

Squad24 Aug 2026

A season on the outside for Andriy Lunin

He trains hard, says the right things and goes home to an empty flat. Nobody at Bayern Munich has done anything wrong, which is exactly what makes it so difficult to fix.

Market24 Aug 2026

Luis Díaz linked with a move away

The name of Luis Díaz keeps appearing in other people's back pages. Bayern Munich say nothing, which says plenty.

Market24 Aug 2026

Still no ink between Bayern Munich and Ralph Schmidt

“We keep meeting, and we keep leaving the room with the same numbers we walked in with.” Another round of talks at Bayern Munich, another week without a signature from Ralph Schmidt.

The dugout24 Aug 2026

Marcel Hofmann asks for a word with the manager

“I would rather say it to his face than read about it.” The meeting was requested by the player, which tells you most of what you need to know.
