Bayern Munich has been linked to Juventus winger Federico Chiesa numerous times over the last five years, but could this be the German club’s chance to land the Italian attacker.
With a winger group that is desperately in need of a refresh, Chiesa represents another quality option who the Bavarians might be taking into consideration. If Bayern Munich does really want Chiesa, it will have competition, though, as Liverpool FC, Inter Milan, Napoli, and AS Roma are all said to be interested in the 26-year-old:
Liverpool could make a fresh move for long-term target Federico Chiesa, who may leave Juventus this summer. Bayern, Milan, Napoli and Roma are also interested.
According to Sky Sport journalist Florian Plettenberg, VfB Stuttgart is losing hope that it can retain Serhou Guirassy as Bayern Munich and Borussia Dortmund are interested in the attacker:
⚪️ VfB Stuttgart would love to keep Serhou #Guirassy, but internally, the club currently does not expect him to stay!
➡️ @BVB, still trying to sign the 28 y/o striker as Sebastian Kehl has started talks. Guirassy, top target for Dortmund!
➡️ … and he‘s still on Bayern’s… pic.twitter.com/dJofDnJBCk

Release clause of around €18-20m in summer

Bayern Munich’s offseason is underway and it looks like (again!) the club has made a decision on its coaching hire.
Vincent Kompany is likely going to be the man for the job, but the coaching position probably will not be the only experiencing change this summer. The Bavarians are going to be targeting several areas for improvement and — even aside of all of that — the future of many current players on the roster could be in jeopardy as well.
We will talk about all of that and more on this edition of the Bavarian Podcast Works Show. Let’s take a look at what we have on tap for this episode:
- Vincent Kompany looks like he will ink a deal with Bayern Munich and Hansi Flick will do the same for FC Barcelona. Will both clubs be better off for it?
- Max Eberl made the final call on Kompany…and stepped over Uli Hoeneß to make it happen. Was that a wise move? Either way, he is going to thrive or get fired on his own terms.
- Could Joshua Kimmich — or any other Bavarians — take a look at joining Flick in Catalonia.
- Throwing a little appreciation toward Bayer Leverkusen and their incredible season.
Borussia Dortmund are reportedly willing to sell attacker Karim Adeyemi, who was once a transfer target of Bayern Munich:
⚫️ News #Adeyemi | At the right price, #BVB is open to discussions and would be willing to sell the 22 y/o winger!
➡️ Contract until 2027 and he is looking for a new agent. Adeyemi with a market in the Premier League. There are already interested teams

➡️ Whether BVB goes all-in for Chris Führich from VfB Stuttgart depends on their plans for the wing position. Currently, their interest has cooled somewhat.

Bayern Munich stars Harry Kane and Joshua Kimmich were named to WhoScored.com’s Team of the Season for Europe’s Top 5 Leagues:
Bayern Munich’s season might be over, but its offseason is already in full swing.
The coaching search could be over, the roster overhaul could be starting, and fans can only sit and wait for everything to play out.
What do we do in the meantime? Let’s discuss it all!
This is what we have on tap for the episode of the Bavarian Podcast Works — Weekend Warm-up Show:
- Bayern Munich seems very close to hiring Vincent Kompany (where have we heard that before? Xabi Alonso, Julian Nagelsmann, Ralf Rangnick, Hansi Flick, Thomas Tuchel Roberto De Zerbi…) and why this time, fans should take it very seriously without feeling like Charlie Brown trying to kick that damn football.
- The positives of hiring Kompany — his playing experience, his ability to relate to players, his style preferences match Bayern Munich’s ideals.
- The negatives — no competitive big game experience, has never coached in major competitions for a high profile club, his locker room command might not jibe with the egos and personalities in Munich, and he just got RELEGATED. All that, plus Bayern Munich cannot afford to miss…again…on this hire.
- What’s the Weekend Warm-up’s verdict? Well, this might be a little risky.
- Aside of that, Chris Führich and Theo Hernandez could be on their way to Bavaria, while Jamal Musiala could be on his way out in 2025.
Liverpool FC wanted Schalke 04 midfielder Assan Ouédraogo, but it looks like Bayern Munich will beat them to the punch:
Ouédraogo could have been an exciting signing for Liverpool, but it now seems the Germany youth international will opt to continue his development at Bayern for the long term.
Given that Bayern are Germany’s biggest club, this is perhaps not too surprising, but it will also be interesting to see how much playing time he gets there in comparison to the opportunities he might have had at Liverpool.
Per Inside Futbol, Newcastle United and Manchester United also wanted Ouédraogo:
Bayern Munich have all but wrapped up the capture of Assan Ouédraogo, who has been tracked closely by Newcastle United and Manchester United.
AC Milan has its eyes on former Bayern Munich striker Joshua Zirkzee:
AC Milan are in regular contact over a deal for Man Utd and Arsenal target Joshua Zirkzee, who has an active €40m release clause in his contract.
