FC Bayern has already invested a lot of money in the transfer market.

However, some superstars are available on a free transfer.

Brazzo's chance?

Munich – FC Bayern hit the transfer market early this summer.

With Sadio Mané, a new superstar was signed, the Senegalese costs 32 million euros plus bonuses.

Midfield jewel Ryan Gravenberch (18.5 million euros plus bonuses) and right-back Noussair Mazraoui (free transfer) were brought in beforehand.

Makes a total of over 50 million euros in transfer fees.

This compares to 12 million earnings for Marc Roca, who joins Leeds United.

But Bayern are far from full when it comes to new transfers.

However, the budget is limited.

"We will continue to keep our eyes open and see what our financial possibilities allow us to do," said sporting director Hasan Salihamidzic.

A number of superstars would still be available for free.

An overview.

Paul Pogba: Central midfield, Manchester United, market value: 48 million euros

Paul Pogba is still a big name.

According to transfermarkt.de, the 29-year-old midfielder has the highest market value of all free transfer players at 48 million euros.

The Frenchman will once again leave Manchester United on a free transfer.

Juventus Turin, who sold him to the Red Devils for 105 million euros five years ago, and Paris St. Germain are considered favorites for a transfer.

The fact that FC Bayern Munich is bringing another world star to Munich after Sadio Mané seems unrealistic given Pogba's salary expectations.

Especially since the midfield was only strengthened with new signing Ryan Gravenberch.

Paulo Dybala: striker, Juventus Turin, market value: 35 million euros

The Argentine has been associated with Bayern Munich for some time.

Ex-CEO Karl-Heinz Rummenigge would have liked to sign Paulo Dybala.

The 28-year-old forward has been unable to agree a contract extension with Juventus, so now the chances of a transfer are rosy.

Dybala can be used flexibly on the offensive – just like Mané – which is why a move to Munich would probably make little sense.

Ousmane Dembélé: Attacking midfielder, FC Barcelona, ​​market value: 30 million euros

The ex-Dortmunder could provide new competition on the wing at Bayern Munich.

Serge Gnabry and Leroy Sané struggled with performance fluctuations in the second half of the season.

In addition, FCB coach Julian Nagelsmann is said to be a fan of the speed dribbler.

Dembélé hesitates with a contract extension at FC Barcelona.

The 25-year-old thrived again last season, providing 13 assists in 21 league games.

However, Chelsea and PSG are also vying for the Frenchman's services.

Andrea Belotti: Storm, FC Torino, market value: 20 million euros

A change of the Italian striker would be a real transfer coup from FC Bayern.

Andrea Belotti could follow in Luca Toni's footsteps in Munich.

The 28-year-old could also replace Robert Lewandowski should he leave for Barcelona in the summer.

Belotti is a similar striker type as Lewandowski.

The European champion has been the top scorer at FC Turin for years and could now take the next step.

At Bayern?

However, the striker is also linked to Italy's champions AC Milan.

Hasan Salihamidzic announced: "We have ideas." It will be interesting to see which stars Brazzo can lure to Munich.
