FC Bayern Munich wants to regroup in the summer.
Four stars are increasingly being mentioned as potential newcomers - one of them is Ronald Araujo.
Munich – FC Bayern Munich is trying to somehow salvage the disappointing season.
By reaching the quarter-finals of the Champions League, at least the premier class offers the chance of a conciliatory end to Thomas Tuchel's term in office.
There will probably be a change within the squad in the summer.
In addition to possible departures,

reports on four players who are repeatedly linked to FCB.
FC Bayern wants to strengthen almost all parts of the team
From now on, the new sports director Max Eberl and sports director Christoph Freund will jointly decide on FC Bayern Munich's transfer policy.
Chris Führich (26), whose release clause should be 23.5 million euros if VfB Stuttgart reaches the Champions League, should also be on a drawn-up list of possible new signings.
With a commitment, FCB also wants to strengthen its negotiating position with Leroy Sané, whose contract expires in 2025.
The German record champions apparently no longer want to fill the six-man position with Fulham's João Palhinha, who is expected to leave England in the summer.
Real Sociedad's Martín Zubimendi (25) is apparently the new A solution.
He probably has a release clause of 60 million euros and has already played 25 times in Real's second team under possible Tuchel successor Xabi Alonso.
But Arsenal FC is also interested.
Manu Koné from Borussia Mönchengladbach could be the positional plan B.

Will Xabi Alonso bring a key player with him to Bayern if he moves?
A possible move for outside player Jeremie Frimpong from Bayer Leverkusen to FC Bayern is also indirectly related to the personality of Xabi Alonso.
If the Spanish coach actually finds his way to Munich, it should be easy for the coach to convince Frimpong of a transfer.
The exit clause, which according to the report must be drawn before the home European Championship, is therefore 40 million euros.
A new attempt should also be made on Barcelona's Uruguayan Ronald Araujo.
After Bayern reportedly asked in vain in the winter, Eberl and Freund continue to see the central defender as a great reinforcement for the FCB backline.
The clause for the 25-year-old should be just under 100 million euros.

High transfer spending by FC Bayern would inevitably mean selling players
All four players that FC Bayern has on its list according to the report have an exit clause, which on the one hand could make transfer negotiations easier.
In addition, possible transfer expenses are easier to plan.
On the other hand, a total transfer fee of around 220 million euros would be due for the four professionals, provided that the exit clauses are actually anchored in the respective contracts.
Even if the Munich team could improve all parts of the team with these kickers, player sales are unavoidable for these high investments.
The upcoming transfer summer could perhaps result in one of the biggest squad changes in the club's history.
