Bayern looking to clear out roster (BuLi News)
It might be a buys summer inside the walls of Säbener Straße this summer as Bayern Munich could be looking to sell of as many as eight players — Kim in-jae, Hiroki Itō, João Palhinha (on loan with Tottenham), Alexander Nübel (on loan with VfB Stuttgart), Arijon Ibrahimović (on loan with Heidenheim), Sacha Boey (on loan with Galatasaray), Daniel Peretz (on loan with Southampton), Bryan Zaragoza (on loan with AS Roma):
For many of these moves, there will not necessarily be a direct replacement required, but for Kim and Itō are key role players on the squad (as we will likely see this weekend). There are also complications with selling some of these players as they might not want to leave — with Kim being the chief example.
The South Korean’s massive salary is not likely going to be something any other club will want to pick up given his performances.
