FC Bayern news: Gnabry's comeback, Nübel's low‑value move, Palhinha transfer talks

Serge Gnabry, the Bayern Munich winger, has progressed in his rehabilitation after an adductor tear suffered in April. He completed his first sprint runs in recent training and has begun light passing work, with the club expecting him to be available for the first competitive match of the season in late August.

Goalkeeper Alexander Nübel, who spent six years with Bayern largely as a backup, has been transferred to Turkish side Beşiktaş. Reported fees range from €5 million to €6.5 million, far below his estimated market value of €12 million, with possible performance bonuses that could raise the total to €10 million. The move ends a costly salary commitment for Bayern.

Bayern are also exploring a transfer for midfielder João Palhinha. Portuguese club Benfica is said to have prepared a €25 million offer, with alternative loan‑plus‑option terms involving a €10 million loan fee and a €15 million purchase clause. The deal could help Bayern offset wage bills and generate significant revenue.
