FC Bayern Munich began preparations for the new season as the last Bundesliga club, a day after the World Cup final. Coach Vincent Kompany started work at Säbener Strasse at a time when the club is dealing not only with the modernization of the training facility, but also with the shape of the squad ahead of the new season. n-tv ↗
The Munich team is not yet complete, and according to available information, it will still take several weeks before Kompany has the entire squad at his disposal. At the start of preparations, he worked with only six professionals, three of whom are rumored to possibly be leaving. German media have also speculated about further developments surrounding players such as Jamal Musiala and Michael Olise. Die Zeit ↗
Certainty within the squad, on the other hand, came from the extension of cooperation with Konrad Laimer. The Austrian midfielder agreed with Bayern to continue after lengthy negotiations, although back in May Uli Hoeneß had suggested that his position was not a given. Ahead of the start of the season, the club is thus dealing with a combination of stability, possible departures, and squad additions. Index.hu ↗
The new Bundesliga season begins in the broader context of the German national team's failure at the World Cup. The DFB team's early elimination is expected to have an impact on the league as well. Jürgen Klopp, referred to as the future national team coach and the face of German football, followed the events most closely right at the final in East Rutherford. The Bundesliga is thus entering the season under pressure for a response from the clubs and German football as a whole. n-tv ↗
