FC Bayern is aiming for a “sporting realignment” in the summer. As a result, there could be a squad change in Munich. FC Barcelona is reportedly watching the situation with interest.
The Catalan online newspaper “El Nacional” is speculating that several FC Bayern professionals could be drawn to Barca.
Eric Maxim Choupo-Moting and Bouna Sarr are initially listed in the corresponding media report. The contracts of the two veterans end at the end of the season. The duo is said to be in the sights of FC Barcelona.
Matthijs de Ligt (contract until 2027), Joshua Kimmich (2025), Serge Gnabry (2026) and Mathys Tel (2027) are also mentioned as potential transfer candidates for the Spanish champions. However, FC Barcelona is said to have no interest in Dayot Upamecano (2026), who is also listed as a possible candidate for departure by “El Nacional”.
There could be a major personnel change in Munich in the summer. CEO Jan-Christian Dreesen recently announced a “sporting realignment”. This begins with a change in the coaching chair. Thomas Tuchel is about to say goodbye.
Hansi Flick traded at FC Barcelona
FC Barcelona is in a similar situation. Coach Xavi is leaving the Catalans at the end of the season.
“El Nacional” once again brings Hansi Flick into play as a successor option for Barca. According to the Spanish “Sport”, Julian Nagelsmann currently has the best cards for the job. The rumored shortlist is also said to include Thomas Tuchel, Hansi Flick and Brighton’s Roberto De Zerbi. Flick is only given outsider chances.
The 59-year-old has been without a new job since he left the national coach last September. Recently there was also speculation about a possible Flick return to FC Bayern. For their part, the Munich team should favor Bayer Leverkusen’s successful coach Xabi Alonso.
