FC Bayern Munich is the most successful football club in Germany. In our news ticker you will find all the important news about the record champions.
Kingsley Coman is clearly set to leave FC Bayern – whether on loan or by sale. According to transfer expert Fabrizio Romano, Hansi Flick and FC Barcelona are now interested in a loan deal for the French international.
According to speculation, the club of the former national coach had previously worked on a transfer of Spain’s European Championship star Nico Williams. However, since no breakthrough had been achieved, Barça now discussed other wingers internally and ended up at FC Bayern.
Most recently, a report by the TV channel Sky caused a stir. According to the report, Paris Saint-Germain would be interested in loaning Coman.
Former Bayern star Martín Demichelis will not be returning to the Bundesliga as a coach for the time being. According to media reports, the 43-year-old Argentinian is moving to Mexico to join Rayados de Monterrey. At the end of July, Demichelis was sacked after one and a half years at Argentinian record champions River Plate from Buenos Aires.
Demichelis was considered as a successor to Thomas Tuchel at FC Bayern. He was also said to have been in talks with TSG 1899 Hoffenheim when TSG coach Pellegrino Matarazzo was allegedly a candidate for the position of national coach of the USA.
There has been speculation for a long time about where Bayern’s winger Bryan Zaragoza is headed, but now it’s official. The German record champions are loaning their player to the Spanish club CA Osasuna. The Munich team announced this on Friday morning. Zaragoza is to gain match practice in Spain until the end of the season. Zaragoza still has a contract with FC Bayern until 2029.
“Bryan’s focus is on the clear goal of playing an important role at FC Bayern. He has all the qualities for that. We are convinced that this season will help him progress in his home country of Spain,” sporting director Christoph Freund is quoted as saying on the website. Zaragoza only played in seven competitive matches at FC Bayern. That is now set to change in Osasuna.

Uli Hoeneß has ranted against the calendar’s bloat. “It cannot go on like this, this accumulation of competitions must be stopped. Sensible people in this business, and in fact at many large clubs, think similarly. At some point enough is enough,” said the honorary president of FC Bayern Munich at a sponsorship meeting with the Ehrmann dairy in Rottach-Egern, referring among other things to a meal with representatives of Champions League winners Real Madrid.
“What some officials at UEFA or FIFA are planning is madness. It will not make the sport better, but worse, it will make the players even more injured, perform less well, and in the end interest will wane. If you have highlights every third day, you will no longer be interested,” said Hoeneß. “We will do everything we can to contain this explosion of competitions and not push it any further.”
This season, for example, the number of teams taking part in the Champions League will be increased by four to 36 teams. This means that there will be more matches and UEFA’s revenue will increase. In addition, the new Club World Cup in 2025 will be held in the USA for the first time with 32 teams and a total of 63 matches.
