Bavarian Podcast Works — Preview Show: St. Pauli vs. Bayern Munich (Bundesliga)

Now that EURO 2024 is over, we shift our focus back to Bayern Munich — which is good because there’s plenty to talk about. The transfer window is open and the club are looking to raise some solid money from sales, but there are rumors that it’s not just players, but even board members who could be on the chopping block this summer. Meanwhile, Thomas Müller just announced his retirement from international football. It wasn’t unexpected, but you can’t help but feel he still had something left to give. This is a sad day for fans of the German NT. In this episode, INNN discusses the following:Why keeping Alphonso Davies without a contract extension is a HUGE mistake — Bayern Munich would be nuts to go through with it. Is Jan-Christian Dreesen on his way out? Does he deserve to be sacked? Who can even replace him? A short (okay, maybe not that short) rant on Thomas Müller’s retirement from international football. Warning: This part of the podcast contains SPECULATION and maybe a few hot takes. Harry Kane’s mysterious injury and what it might mean for the upcoming season under Vincent Kompany. An attempt to close out the podcast on a positive note. Be sure to stay tuned to Bavarian Podcast Works for all of your up to date coverage on Bayern Munich and Germany.
