Bayern Munich wants to bolster squad depth in summer transfer window

The internal analysis over the past few days concluded that the current Bayern squad lacks enough depth for the highest international level. As an example, the club pointed to the 2020 treble team. During the Champions League final win over PSG, Kingsley Coman was replaced by Ivan Perišić, Serge Gnabry by Coutinho, and Thiago by Corentin Tolisso. Vincent Kompany did not have those kinds of options this year. That is why Bayern are looking to bring in a genuine attacking reinforcement this summer (Gordon top target), while also searching for another squad player in attack. Adding Gordon would be a massive move, but another attacker on top of him would come as a surprise. It seems as if Bayern Munich was impressed by the threats that Paris Saint-Germain had available on its bench during the Champions League tie between the clubs and wants to replicate the kind of danger that PSG could inject into a match. The plan to add more depth could also impact the other position groups as well, which some would argue are just as thin as the attack. *If you are looking for more Bayern Munich and German national team coverage, check out the latest episodes of Bavarian Podcast Works, which you can get on Acast, Spotify, Apple, or any leading podcast distributor…*
