In a highly emotional moment, the president of Bayern Munich struggled to contain his tears during a press conference, voicing frustration and sorrow over an impending departure. He lamented how Manchester United had managed to convince yet another Bayern star to join their ranks, leaving Bayern vulnerable at such a critical juncture in the season. âHis mind is already made up, and thereâs nothing more we can do,â he admitted, his voice tinged with disappointment. âI wonât forgive Manchester United for persuading him to leave. Losing a player of his caliber now is a tremendous blow to us.â
The brewing storm around Bayernâs talent migration to Manchester United has taken a new turn, as reports link not just one but two prominent Bayern playersâAlphonso Davies and Leroy SanĂ©âwith potential moves to Old Trafford. Sources from fussball.news suggest that the Red Devils have shown strong interest in the Bayern duo, whose contracts are set to expire in 2025. This timeline makes them especially appealing to United, as they could begin negotiations to sign on a free transfer as early as January 2025. For Bayern, the thought of losing these two key players without a transfer fee is a dire prospect they will be eager to avoid
Contrary to speculation that has swirled around multiple Bayern stars, Leon Goretzka appears to be off Unitedâs radar for now. Though Goretzkaâs future in Munich remains somewhat uncertainâwith Bayern reportedly open to a possible transferâthe 29-year-old midfielder has expressed a clear desire to stay and continue competing for his place at Bayern, at least until the winter transfer window passes. Goretzka, whose contract runs through 2026, seems determined to fight for his spot despite the intense competition within Bayernâs squad.
The prospect of losing Davies and SanĂ©, however, presents a much more immediate challenge for Bayernâs management. Both players are essential parts of Bayernâs tactical setup, and their potential exits could weaken the teamâs strength, particularly in European competitions. If Bayern fails to secure contract renewals with either player before January, the duo could walk away for freeâa scenario that would add salt to Bayernâs wounds, both financially and competitively. The club is thus expected to do everything in its power to negotiate new deals with Davies and SanĂ© in the coming months.
Yet financial hurdles may complicate the picture. Both SanĂ© and Goretzka are among Bayernâs highest earners, with SanĂ© reportedly making close to âŹ20 million annually, including bonuses, while Goretzka earns around âŹ18 million. Davies, whose salary expectations hover around âŹ16 million, could also encounter challenges in securing a comparable figure elsewhere. For Manchester United, a club mindful of financial constraints, these wages might necessitate a compromise. Previous transfers from Bayern to Manchester, such as that of Matthijs de Ligt, involved salary reductionsâa potential requirement should Davies and SanĂ© agree to the Premier League switch.
As Manchester Unitedâs interest in Davies and SanĂ© appears increasingly genuine, the fate of these negotiations will likely come down to Bayernâs willingness to retain them through lucrative extensions or Manchester Unitedâs capacity to meet their financial demands. The next few months will be critical in determining whether these stars remain in Munich or seek new adventures in Manchester.
