Could Bayern Munich be Selling Mane and two other

Bayern Munich is reportedly planning to revamp their squad this summer and could potentially lose three of their attackers in the process.
The German champions narrowly secured the league title on the final day, and their early exits from the German Cup and Champions League led to the dismissal of coach Julian Nagelsmann and the appointment of Thomas Tuchel.
According to Bild, Bayern is open to selling Leroy Sane, Sadio Mane, and Serge Gnabry.
Despite their individual talents, all three players have struggled to consistently perform at their best this season, prompting Bayern to seek more reliable performers.
While the departure of all three players may seem unlikely, the fact that they are reportedly available for sale indicates that Bayern is prepared for an aggressive and decisive summer transfer window as they aim to strengthen their squad.

Declan Rice’s future up in the air as Bayern Munich eye record transfer

Bayern Munich is actively pursuing a significant transfer deal involving Declan Rice, the talented midfielder from West Ham United. As the German champions aspire to strengthen their squad, securing Rice has become a top priority. The English defensive midfielder is keen to depart West Ham in search of Champions League football opportunities.
According to The Mirror, Arsenal remains the frontrunner in the race to sign Rice, primarily due to his preference for the North London club. However, Bayern Munich has emerged as a strong contender by offering an impressive package worth £95 million to acquire the services of Rice.
In addition to Bayern Munich and Arsenal, other prominent clubs such as Manchester United and Chelsea have also been linked with a potential move for Rice in recent weeks. The interest from these clubs underlines the exceptional talent and potential that Rice possesses.
Notably, Bayern Munich’s manager, Thomas Tuchel, holds a special admiration for Rice, having observed his performances firsthand in the intensely competitive Premier League. Tuchel’s appreciation further adds weight to Bayern Munich’s pursuit of the West Ham United star.
As the transfer saga unfolds, it remains to be seen which club will ultimately secure the signature of Declan Rice. The allure of Champions League football and the substantial financial offer from Bayern Munich could potentially sway the decision in their favor. However, the preferences of the player himself and the competition from other interested clubs make this transfer story an intriguing one to follow.

Kehl: Bayern title is not good for German football

Bayern Munich won their 11th Bundesliga title in a row with as few as 71 points.
Borussia Dortmund had everything in their grasp yet just dealt with a 2-2 home draw against Mainz, the equalizer coming past the point of no return in the game.
Indeed, even to say the least, Bayern are fantastic in the league, which isn’t uplifting news for rivals yet in addition for the competitiveness of the league, guarantees Dortmund’s sporting chief Sebastian Kehl.
Kehl commented, “I don’t know if that was a statement from German football today.” I don’t think it was really great for the Bundesliga in general.”
When Borussia Dortmund won in 2011-12, the champion was not a Munich team with a B in their name for the last time.
In the early 2000s, when Dortmund, Werder Bremen, Stuttgart, and Wolfsburg all won the league, the league was slightly more competitive.
