Bayern Munich News: The next goalkeeper for FC Bayern?; FC Barcelona, Real Madrid, Liverpool all want Finn Jeltsch; Paul Wanner on the move?; and MORE!

Bredlow “offered” to Bayern (Sky Germany’s Florian Plettenberg)

According to this report from Sky Germany journalist Florian Plettenberg, VfB Stuttgart goalkeeper Fabian Bredlow has been “offered” to Bayern Munich:

Stuttgart goalkeeper Fabian Bredlow (31) has been offered to FC Bayern in the role of #2 behind Jonas Urbig next season. Bayern have yet to act and are considering other candidates. Bredlow is under contract at VfB until 2027.

It is tough to discern exactly who did the offering? Bredlow’s agent? VfB Stuttgart? Bredlow himself?

It is very unclear.

What we do know is that Bredlow’s deal with VfB Stuttgart ends next summer, which would make him a free agent — something that would be appealing to the Bavarians.

Barca, Real, LFC all like Jeltsch (ESPN)

If Bayern Munich truly is interested in VfB Stuttgart center-back Finn Jeltsch, it might have to outbid FC Barcelona, Liverpool, and Real Madrid:

Barcelona, Liverpool and Real Madrid are keen on VfB Stuttgart defender Finn Jeltsch, according to Sport. The 20-year-old has been on Barca’s radar since catching the attention of manager Hansi Flick this summer, but there are other top European clubs reportedly willing to offer €50 million to land the Germany defender.

Bayern Munich’s interest in Jeltsch could really depend on when he is ready to move. Right now, Bayern Munich is tied into Dayot Upamecano and Jonathan Tah, but the future is less certain for Kim Min-jae and Hiroki Itō. If the Bavarians were to actively pursue Jeltsch, it could mean the end of the line for both Kim and Itō. However, there is no clear indication that Bayern Munich is ready to think about investing in Jeltsch just yet.

Bayern not eyeing Muharemović (Sport Bild’s Christian Falk)

Despite reports to the contrary, Sport Bild’s Christian Falk says that Bayern Munich actually does not have interest in Leeds United center-back Tarik Muharemović:

❌It is NOT TRUE: Bayern Munich have identified Leeds United defender Tarik Muharemović as their top target for the summer. The Bosnian joined in the summer and has a contract until 2031  – so he won’t come cheap! Bayern won’t go for him at the moment and they don’t have any plans for a date as far away as the 2027 summer transfer window; that’s not really their style. They have their own shortlist, of course, and they’re aware of the centre-back, but it’s not so concrete that you can confidently claim it’s a hot transfer option for Bayern. The club already has a complete array of centre-backs, so you have to see what happens with what they’ve currently got available.

LFC still eyeing Wanner (Football 365)

A few weeks ago, Liverpool was named in reports as having interest in former Bayern Munich phenom Paul Wanner, who is now playing a starring role for PSV Eindhoven. Now, a more recent report is backing that up:

Liverpool’s interest in bringing Paul Wanner to Anfield has been backed by a second source, which has also revealed Manchester United’s desire for the PSV and Austria international midfielder.

Bild journalist Christian Falk first reported Liverpool’s interest in Wanner back on September 16. On The Minute has now backed Falk’s claim about Liverpool’s interest in Wanner.

According to the report, PSV value Wanner at €50million (£42m), with Liverpool, Manchester United, Newcastle United and Aston Villa interested in him.

The report has noted: ‘The Austrian international is a left-footed attacking midfielder, able to offer invention between the lines and around the final third. It is that profile, rather than merely his age, which appears to be drawing attention.’

It does not appear as if Bayern Munich is ready to attempt to “run it back” with Wanner, but if the youngster landed at Liverpool, it would be an incredibly big step (just ask Florian Wirtz).

Getafe open to inking Ramos (ESPN)

Getafe is allegedly open to signing Sergio Ramos (which seems wild):

Getafe are open to signing free-agent defender Sergio Ramos, reports Radio Nacional de España. Getafe president Ángel Torres confirmed interest in reuniting the 40-year-old with former Real Madrid teammate Dani Carvajal, who joined the LaLiga outfit last week.
