Bayern Munich is closely monitoring the situation at Real Madrid, hoping to capitalize on the tense atmosphere within the Spanish club’s dressing room and seize any opportunity to sign one of their key players before the start of the new season.
According to German press reports, Bayern manager Vincent Kompany is convinced there is significant room for improvement in several vital positions, such as midfield and right-back, especially after previous signings like Sascha Boët and João Ballenia failed to strengthen the squad.

Fede Valverde is the primary target
One of Bayern’s main targets is Fede Valverde, the Uruguayan star who could form a formidable attacking partnership with Aleksandar Pavlović, freeing up Joshua Kimmich to play on the right wing. Valverde also has the ability to fill in at right-back when needed, as demonstrated this season in matches at the Santiago Bernabéu.
However, signing the Real Madrid player has previously proven difficult due to his long-term contract and strained relationships with Xabi Alonso and, more recently, Álvaro Arbeloa. But the situation has recently changed, especially after Valverde faced public criticism for his recent performances, with accusations of a lack of commitment and of inciting a “rebellion” within the team.
Bayern Munich is wasting no time
German sources report that Bayern Munich has already contacted Valverde’s agent, urging the player to pressure Real Madrid’s management to allow him to move to the Bundesliga this summer.
It now seems that everything hinges on the stance of Real Madrid president Florentino Pérez, who might open the door for Valverde’s departure in exchange for suitable financial compensation, presenting the Spanish club with a difficult decision amid the current crisis.
