<p>Bayern Munich is reportedly ready to part ways with three key players during the summer transfer period in something of a rebuild under Thomas Tuchel. According to <em><a href="https://www.bild.de/sport/fussball/bayern-muenchen/startseite-fc-bayern-muenchen-31074450.bild.html" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Bild</a></em>, the club will be open to offers for Sadio Mane, Leroy Sane, and Serge Gnabry. The German outlet has made the claims as Bayern endured a fairly disappointing season to their standards.</p>



<p>While the German giants collected their 11th consecutive <a href="https://worldsoccertalk.com/bundesliga-tv-schedule/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Bundesliga</a> title, <a href="https://worldsoccertalk.com/bayern-munich-tv-schedule/">Bayern</a> brass wasn’t thrilled with the overall campaign. The club was knocked out of the <a href="https://www.worldsoccertalk.com/dfb-pokal-tv-schedule-and-streaming-links" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">DFB-Pokal</a> and <a href="https://worldsoccertalk.com/champions-league-tv-schedule/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Champions League</a> competitions at the quarterfinal stage. Team officials even made a managerial change in mid-March when they swapped Julian Nagelsmann for Thomas Tuchel.</p>



<h5>Mane fined, suspended for fight with teammate</h5>



<p>Mane and Sane <a href="https://worldsoccertalk.com/news/bayern-fine-and-suspend-sadio-mane-for-punching-teammate-20230413-WST-428200.html" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">previously scrapped</a> following a demoralizing 3-0 defeat to <a href="https://worldsoccertalk.com/manchester-city-tv-schedule/">Manchester City</a> in April. The Senegal international reportedly punched the German in the mouth inside the team’s dressing room. Mane picked up a fine and a one-match suspension for his role in the altercation.</p>



<p>The former <a href="https://worldsoccertalk.com/liverpool-tv-schedule/">Liverpool</a> star only just arrived at Bayern last summer. While Mane entered the fray with much fanfare, the forward only had a decent season. He managed to score 12 goals and add six assists in 38 total games with his new club. </p>



<h2>Bayern seeking rebuild after ‘disappointing’ season</h2>



<p>Sane had a better scoring season than his teammates, netting 14 goals and 10 assists during the 2022/23 campaign. However, the German made just 20 starts in Bundesliga play for the club. Sane could very well be searching for more playing time.</p>

<p>Gnabry, much like Sane, produced a solid season as well. The versatile attacker scored 17 goals throughout various competitions in the campaign. Nevertheless, he also couldn’t nail down a regular starting spot on the season either.</p>



<p>The summer could very well be crucial times for Bayern. Team brass fired chief executive <a href="https://worldsoccertalk.com/news/bayern-munich-dismisses-oliver-kahn-as-ceo-despite-title-20230527-WST-435065.html">Oliver Kahn and board member Hasan Salihamidzic</a> on the same day as the <a href="https://worldsoccertalk.com/news/bayern-tops-dortmund-to-bundesliga-title-after-thrilling-matchday-20230527-WST-435025.html">Bavarians lifted the Bundesliga trophy</a>. Now it seems as if the team will attempt an overhaul across their attack. Potentially selling the aforementioned trio would certainly raise adequate funds for the rebuild.</p>

Bayern Munich is reportedly ready to field offers for three key forwards as the German club may be set for a major rebuild this summer.

<p>With most of the attention focused on <a href="https:\/\/worldsoccertalk.cms.futbolsitesnetwork.com/2014/10/14/arsenal-receive-a-welcome-boost-with-theo-walcott-returning-to-training/">Theo Walcott’s anticipated return</a> from lengthy injury, Serge Gnabry’s own comeback from injury has managed to fly under the radar. The 19-year-old German youth international has not featured for Arsenal since last season’s 1-1 draw away to Bayern Munich in the Champions League on March 12. Gnabry’s knee injury is interesting because he has not had to recover from major surgery, yet has missed the last seven months of action.</p>
<p>Although Walcott is presumably more essential to the Gunners than Gnabry at this point of the two players’ careers, there is no doubting Gnabry’s talent and potential to become a star on the pitch. The “German Bulldog” possesses <a href="http:\/\/www.youtube.com/watch?v=26Zby8GluuM">pace, quick feet, and a powerful right foot</a>. Gnabry has mostly been utilized out on the right flank for the Gunners, although he can also be deployed in the No. 10 role or even as a forward (as Arsene Wenger <a href="http:\/\/www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-2478314/Arsenal-forward-Serge-Gnabry-signs-new-long-term-deal.html">likes</a> his finishing abilities).</p>
<p>The 19-year-old is yet another example of how well Arsenal and Wenger assess talent and develop young players. The youngster was bought by the Gunners from Stuttgart in 2010 for just around $160,000 (although he had to wait on the London switch until 2011, when he turned 16). Over the last 14 years of Wenger’s reign at Arsenal, the Frenchman has managed to spend a grand total of <span style="color: #222222;">£</span>9m on a group of nine raw youngsters including Joel Campbell, Carlos Vela, Alex Song, Gael Clichy, Cesc Fabregas, Robin van Persie, Johan Djourou, and Kolo Toure.</p>
<p>Gnabry made his senior debut for the Gunners in September of 2012 during a League Cup match against Coventry City, playing the final 15 minutes in the team’s 6-1 demolishing of the League One side. He featured in his first Premier League match a month later and became Arsenal’s third youngest player in league history (only behind Fabregas and Jack Wilshere).</p>
<p>The 2013-14 season was the German’s introduction to the world. Gnabry featured in 14 total matches for the Gunners during last year’s campaign, before ultimately missing out on the final two months of the season due to the aforementioned knee injury. Nonetheless, following a string of five impressive performances during September and October of 2013, Gnabry was quickly rewarded with a fresh five-year contract with the Gunners.</p>
<p>With Arsenal’s recent team injury concerns (the Gunners are <a href="http:\/\/www.arsenal.com/team-news">currently</a> sitting at 11 total injuries at the moment), Gnabry’s time to shine may come a little sooner than expected. Whenever Gnabry makes his return to the Arsenal side (it will most likely be another week or two), Arsenal fans should be excited and relieved over some positive injury news for a change.</p>
