In addition to winning the German championship again, coach Julian Nagelsmann and his team are aiming for the titles in the DFB Cup and the Champions League.

FC Bayern Munich has big goals
FC Bayern Munich is making intensive efforts to find a replacement for the German national keeper, but in addition to short-term squad planning, sports director Hasan Salihamidzic also has to push ahead with planning for the coming summer. A successor to Robert Lewandowski is high on the priority list, but something is also likely to happen on the departures side. Benjamin Pavard is expected to leave the club after the season and seek a new challenge.
The France international would love to play in central defence, but at Bayern Munich he’s mostly had to play at right-back. He was there for years, but with the signing of Noussair Mazraoui, who moved from Ajax Amsterdam to Säbener Straße on a free transfer, there has been competition since the beginning of the season and the Moroccan has a good chance of securing a regular place.
Pavard has often said publicly in the past few weeks that he can imagine a change. His contract runs until June 30, 2024 and if FC Bayern Munich does not want to risk a free transfer, they will have to sell the French international after the current season. Like the Spanish newspaper Sports reported, Pavard is a hot topic at FC Barcelona.

It also affects the price that the relationship between player and club is damaged because of the statements in the past few weeks and months.
