Bayern Munich’s contract extension talks with Konrad Laimer have stalled due to a major gap in salary expectations between the club and player.

Manuel Neuer
May 2026
Manuel Neuer criticised Bayern Munich’s inefficiency in attack following their elimination by PSG, stating the team lacked the decisive edge needed to reach the final.

Harry Kane
May 2026
Harry Kane equalled Cristiano Ronaldo’s record of scoring in six consecutive Champions League knockout matches, but Bayern Munich were eliminated by PSG 6-5 on aggregate.

Bayern Munich remain keen on signing Anthony Gordon but face a significant valuation gap as Newcastle demand a high transfer fee for the winger.

Pep Guardiola
May 2026
Pep Guardiola revealed he chose to watch Stockport County instead of the Champions League clash between PSG and Bayern Munich, jokingly dismissing the quality of the players and managers involved in the blockbuster fixture. Guardiola attended a lower-league match at Edgeley Park, prioritising his love for English football. Despite PSG’s eventual 5-4 thriller win, he had already committed to the visit and later made light-hearted comments about the decision.
Manuel Neuer
May 2026
Manuel Neuer is in discussions to extend his Bayern Munich contract until 2027, aiming to continue his career beyond the age of 40 with the club he has represented for over a decade.

The club sees his experience as valuable while managing finances through adjusted salary structures.
Paris Saint-Germain
April 2026
Paris Saint-Germain defeated Bayern Munich 5-4 in a dramatic Champions League semi-final first leg, with both teams trading goals in a high-scoring encounter that leaves the tie finely balanced ahead of the return fixture.

After multiple lead changes, late strikes from both sides ensured a narrow PSG advantage heading into the second leg.
Nicolas Jackson
April 2026
Bayern Munich have decided not to activate the option to sign Nicolas Jackson permanently after his loan spell, despite the striker delivering steady performances as backup to Harry Kane. Sporting director Max Eberl confirmed the decision, citing financial considerations over a €65 million deal. Jackson contributed 10 goals and 4 assists in 29 games, but Bayern prioritised long-term squad planning over depth retention.
Anthony Gordon
April 2026
Newcastle are reportedly willing to discuss Anthony Gordon’s exit if Bayern Munich meet a £75 million valuation. The winger has become a leading target as Bayern seek more pace and attacking depth. Bayern are believed to rate Gordon lower than Newcastle’s asking price, but the Magpies may need major sales to finance squad changes and comply with financial regulations this summer.
