Six Bayern Munich players are reportedly up for sale.
Manchester United, Arsenal and Chelsea are among the Premier League clubs who could profit from a potential Bayern Munich exodus this summer. Vincent Kompany is reportedly set to oversee a clearout during his first transfer window as Bayern boss, with some blockbuster names in the shop window.
According to Sky Germany, Bayern are working on potential transfers after luring Kompany from Burnley despite their Premier League relegation last season.
However, it’s claimed that the Bundesliga giants urgently need to offload players to balance the books if they are to back their new manager.
And six high-profile stars are said to have been put in the shop window: Matthijs de Ligt, Joshua Kimmich, Leon Goretzka, Kingsley Coman, Serge Gnabry and Noussair Mazraoui.
Arsenal are reportedly on the hunt for attacking reinforcements this summer after narrowly missing out on the Premier League title for a second successive season.
Mikel Arteta could turn his attention towards Coman or bring Gnabry back to the Emirates Stadium 12 years after he graduated from the Hale End academy.
Either player would offer a versatile attacking option to compete with Bukayo Saka and Gabriel Martinelli, similarly to Leandro Trossard.
Coman and Gnabry could also be options for United if they miss out on the signing of Crystal Palace right-winger Michael Olise this summer.
Serge Gnabry is among those on the market.
The Red Devils face competition from Chelsea, and both Bayern stars would likely demand less of the club’s limited transfer budget.
Goretzka also represents an attractive option ahead of an expected attempt to replace Casemiro and Christian Eriksen in midfield.
De Ligt could, too, be heavily linked, especially if Erik ten Hag remains in charge for a third year. Ten Hag has previously worked with the Dutch centre-back and must replace Raphael Varane on priority.
He has also coached Noussair Mazraoui at Ajax, and he may pose as an enticing option to replace Aaron Wan-Bissaka if he departs Old Trafford.
Chelsea have already snatched one of United’s centre-back targets, sealing a deal for free agent Tosin Adarabioyo before the M16 giants could formalise their interest.
And they could also pounce for De Ligt if Enzo Maresca fancies a high-profile successor to Thiago Silva at Stamford Bridge.
Joshua Kimmich may be reluctant to depart Bayern, having been at the club since 2015. But the opportunity to pursue a new challenge somewhere where trophies are just as guaranteed more appeal.
The world-class Germany international has been linked with Premier League champions of the last four years, Manchester City. Pep Guardiola would surely be interested in a reunion.
