On the one hand, the contracts have obviously not yet been signed and details are probably unclear. On the other hand, the contracts of Thomas Müller, Alphonso Davies, Joshua Kimmich, Leroy Sané, Eric Dier and Sven Ulreich expire next summer. And the future of players like Leon Goretzka and Serge Gnabry (both contracts until 2026) and Kingsley Coman (until 2027) is still open.
