"Bayern are not planning a very busy summer. Last night's Champions League exit does not change that. The top priority remains a 'challenger' for Luis Díaz at left wing. The second priority is a midfielder (#6, #8) to replace Leon Goretzka, with Kennet Eichhorn as the top target. Other positions such as centre-back, full-backs, backup striker are not a priority. Serge Gnabry is seen internally as someone that can cover the backup striker role, especially with Jamal Musiala and Lennart Karl covering the position behind the striker."

Serge Gnabry is viewed internally as cover for the backup striker role, while Bayern’s center-back depth and right-back needs remain concerns.
