Bayern Munich is the team with the most impressive summer selection. The Bavarians have been reinforced with Liverpool’s Sadio Mane, Juventus’ Matthijs de Ligt, Ajax’s Ryan Gravenberch and Nussair Mazraoui, as well as Rennes’ Mathis Tell. In recent hours, there has been talk that the German hegemon is preparing another transfer bomb in the days until the end of August with the attraction of Barcelona midfielder Frenkie de Jong.
According to Mundo Deportivo, Bayern will look to sign the Netherlands international on a season-long loan with a mandatory option to buy. There is also interest in the midfielder from Manchester United, but his desire is also to play at the Allianz Arena.
In the past few hours, Bayern have appeared again in the scene for Frenkie de Jong – trying to put on the table a loan offer with an option to buy. Manchester United are not giving up and will also make an attempt for the Dutchman, despite having already signed Casemiro [@gbsans] pic.twitter.com/XTagJ4zCRx

In Germany, however, they have a different opinion. Close to the Bavarian giants, journalists Christian Falk and Florian Plettenberg rejected the possibility of Frenkie de Jong moving to the Allianz Arena during this transfer window.
Plettenberg adds that the coaching staff and management of the Bavarians are very satisfied with the progress of Ryan Gravenberch and they intend to rely more and more on him in the midfield alongside Joshua Kimmich. In midfield, the team also has Leon Goretzka, who is recovering from an injury, as well as Marcel Zabitzer.
Frenkie de Jong will not join Bayern this window. The club is counting on Kimmich and the existing personnel in midfield – especially Gravenberch, whom the club is totally happy with his development & could be a starter in the next few weeks [@Plettigoal]
