After a bad season, everyone is waiting for news of Bayern's rebuild, the Bundesliga giants' performance last season is no longer just a matter of the manager, Tuchel did not meet expectations in the league, but at least brought Bayern to the last four of the Champions League, and the fans are relatively happy with this. With the departure of Thomas Tuchel and the arrival of Vincent Kompany, Bayern Munich have a fresh start and the rebuilding of the squad will begin this summer, with the former key players also in their plans to sell them.
According to TA, Manchester United have made official contact with Bayern Munich regarding De Ligt's transfer, and this news also confirms the rumours that De Ligt wants to leave Bayern Munich as reported by a number of media outlets. The Dutch centre-back has not been reused in Bayern's squad system, even though he is the team's most consistent centre-back and a core centre-back, but Bayern's playing time and tactical position have not met De Ligt's expectations, which is the key reason why he wants to leave Bayern.
According to the Sun, Manchester City have also been in contact with Bayern Munich in the hope of acquiring Bayern captain Kimmich this summer. The German defender and Bayern have not made progress on the contract renewal issue, the two sides have not been able to agree on the salary and contract details, and many Bayern management believe that Kimmich is the team's "problem" and are very cautious about the contract extension. Kimmich has only one year left on his contract and the team will need to make a decision this summer.
Whether it is Kimmich or De Ligt, they are both heavyweight core players, and the departure of such players from Bayern will definitely have a greater impact on the strength of the team, and it can also be seen that Bayern is determined to rebuild. Although Bayern have gained something in the transfer market, they have not yet ushered in a real heavyweight transfer, and once these two players leave, it will not be so easy for Bayern to find suitable replacements in a short period of time, and they still have a lot of work to complete this summer.
For Manchester City and Manchester United, if they can complete the signing work separately, it will undoubtedly be a huge improvement in the strength of the team. Manchester United need a new core player at the back, while Manchester City need to find a suitable partner for Rodri in the central midfield position, and can also prepare for Walker's age in the right-back position, with Kimmich and De Ligt both among their best options. If the players are clear, there is a good chance that these two deals will be made, and the time frame for them to be done will be quick.
