The Bundesliga season has ended, and the summer transfer window is just around the corner. As a result, there are numerous media reports about many players. As highlighted by English media sources, Bayern Munich is preparing for this period.

For the first time since the 2011/2012 season, the Bundesliga title did not go to Bayern Munich. In that season, Borussia Dortmund emerged victorious, forcing the Bavarians to settle for second place.

This marked the beginning of a long winning streak in the league. Bayern clinched the German championship every year without interruption until the recently concluded season. This changed in the 2023/2024 season.

Not only did Harry Kane's current club fail to defend its title (which was won by Bayer Leverkusen), but they also fell behind VfB Stuttgart, finishing in third place. This outcome is considered a failure for Bayern Munich.

The management is eager to rectify this setback quickly and has already begun looking for potential reinforcements for the next season. SunSport journalists say the German club's authorities are considering a "sensational transfer of Jack Grealish."

Vincent Kompany, who will likely succeed Thomas Tuchel at Bayern, is a big fan of the English midfielder. The club believes there is a chance to persuade Grealish to make the transfer.

"Despite being a key part of City’s recent successes, Grealish has fallen slightly down the pecking order at the Etihad in the last 12 months. And Munich think they could offer Grealish the chance to resurrect his career and boost his international prospects at the same time," reads an article on "The Sun" portal.

The existing contract with Manchester City, valid until 2027, could pose a challenge. Pep Guardiola is pleased with Grealish's performance and may not want to part with him, especially since the coach has communicated to the club's authorities that he wants to maintain the current squad for the next season.
