Bayern to consider offers for many players
Bayern Munich are open to letting some of their players leave for the right price, as this must have been a directive from new manager Vincent Kompany. There’s the off chance that apart from De Ligt, the likes of Joshua Kimmich, Kingsley Coman, Serge Gnabry, and Noussair Mazraoui could all leave.
