João Cancelo, on loan from... Manchester City last winter, has failed to convince and his option to buy is too high, while Benjamin Pavard is keen to leave. Noussair Mazraoui, who arrived from Ajax Amsterdam last summer, has had a difficult first season and is not certain of staying in Bavaria.
According to Sport1, Thomas Tuchel is a fan of Kyle Walker, and initial contacts have already been made between Bayern Munich and the entourage of the 33-year-old England international, who is open to a move. For the moment, however, there is no contact between the Bavarian club and Manchester City.
