Market24 Aug 2026

Rasmus Højlund is a Bayern Munich player

The fee is $43.4M, the contract is signed, and the argument about whether he is worth it can begin. Napoli drove a hard bargain; time will say who won it.

Transfer targets24 Aug 2026

Door shut on Joan García

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

Squad24 Aug 2026

153 days out for Sven Ulreich after a fracture

A bone, which is the one injury with a calendar attached. Bayern Munich will name a return date and, unusually for this business, will probably be right about it.

Transfer targets24 Aug 2026

Bayern Munich baulk at the price for Unai Simón

Athletic Bilbao wanted more than $28.9M and the board would not go there. Walked away, for now, which in a transfer window means until somebody blinks.

Market24 Aug 2026

Bayern Munich say no — this time

The offer from Bayer Leverkusen for Dayot Upamecano was heard out and sent back the same day. First bids are rarely meant to succeed; they are meant to find out how loudly the door closes.

Squad24 Aug 2026

A move Rasmus Højlund would have made for nothing

There is a version of every career where the player ends up somewhere he chose rather than somewhere that chose him. Rasmus Højlund is living that version at Bayern Munich, and it tends to show in the first month.

Squad24 Aug 2026

Tempers go at Bayern Munich

Harry Kane was at the centre of it, and by the time it was pulled apart there were three or four others involved. Training grounds are small places and long seasons make them smaller.

Squad24 Aug 2026

Bayern Munich lose Jamal Musiala

26 days, the medical staff say, and medical staff are optimists by profession. The team sheet will look wrong without him.

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.

$43.4M settles it between the clubs for Rasmus Højlund

Napoli have accepted the money. What Bayern Munich do not yet have is the man, and between here and the photograph is a conversation about wages that both sides are dreading.

Squad17 Aug 2026

Sven Ulreich breaks a bone — 162 days out

Brutal, unambiguous and, for all the horror of the moment, usually less career-shaped than the ligament everybody fears more. 162 days, a clean timeline, and a return date somebody can actually plan around.

Transfer targets17 Aug 2026

Door shut on Jamie Leweling

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

Market17 Aug 2026

Bayern Munich turn down FC Augsburg for Serge Gnabry

The offer was not close and it was refused without much discussion. Whether the second one is refused as quickly is another matter.

Squad17 Aug 2026

Harry Kane in a row with a teammate

It was not about football and everybody who saw it knows that. Two men who have to play together on Saturday said things at Bayern Munich this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Squad17 Aug 2026

A row about effort at Bayern Munich

Somebody said out loud what several people thought about how hard another man trains, and Dayot Upamecano was in the middle of it. The one dressing-room argument that is genuinely about football.

Market17 Aug 2026

Eyes on Jonas Urbig again

The phone has started ringing about Jonas Urbig again, and this time the name on the line is TSG Hoffenheim. Bayern Munich are listening politely and promising nothing.

Market17 Aug 2026

Michael Olise linked with a move away

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

Market17 Aug 2026

Lennart Karl leaves on loan

Lennart Karl joins Union Berlin on loan in search of the minutes he could not find at Bayern Munich.

Bayern Munich make their move for Unai Simón

$25.4M on the table at Athletic Bilbao. The manager wanted him, the board agreed a number, and the only voices still to be heard are the ones at the other club.

Transfer targets10 Aug 2026

Bayern Munich rebuffed over Lucas Chevalier

Not now, not at any price the club was prepared to say out loud. Paris Saint-Germain have kept their man, and Bayern Munich go back to a list with one name crossed off it.

Market10 Aug 2026

Bayern Munich turn down Werder Bremen for Lennart Karl

The offer was not close and it was refused without much discussion. Whether the second one is refused as quickly is another matter.

Squad10 Aug 2026

Words exchanged at Bayern Munich

Harry Kane and a teammate said things this week that will take longer than a week to unsay. It was not about football, and both of them play on Saturday.

Market10 Aug 2026

Jamal Musiala wants to know where this is going

“I want to win things, and I would like to do it here.” Nothing has been demanded and nothing has been threatened — but a boardroom at Bayern Munich hears a sentence like that exactly as it was built.

One of our own: Marcel Maier joins the Bayern Munich first team

Clubs spend fortunes looking for players and occasionally find one down the corridor. Marcel Maier is that, and the reception he gets on his first appearance will be different in kind from the one any signing receives.

One of our own: Stefan Fuchs joins the Bayern Munich first team

Clubs spend fortunes looking for players and occasionally find one down the corridor. Stefan Fuchs is that, and the reception he gets on his first appearance will be different in kind from the one any signing receives.

Ismael Saibari signs a new deal

“I never wanted to be anywhere else. There is unfinished business here.” Ismael Saibari commits to Bayern Munich for another 4 years.

Squad10 Aug 2026

Michael Olise has seen what the next man earns

Numbers do not stay secret in a dressing room and never have. He is not asking for more than he is worth; he is asking why somebody beside him is worth more, and at Bayern Munich that is a harder question to answer.
