Bayern Munich have just won another trophy, albeit a virtual one. The German champions have officially been crowned the social media champions of the Bundesliga as well.

Bayern Munich’s front office has not always been a place where someone can settle into a job, but throughout some big executive changes over recent years, president Herbert Hainer have survived — and will now be running for a third term at the position.

Former Brazil international defender Rafinha has announced his retirement from professional football, ending a career that spanned more than 20 years.

Bayern Munich keeper Daniel Peretz’s loan out to Hamburg has been officially confirmed. The Israeli international moves from the newly promoted Bundesliga club on a one year deal. Peretz will compete with longtime Hamburg keeper Daniel Heuer Fernandes for the starting slot between the sticks.

The 25-year-old Peretz made seven competitive appearances for Bayern since joining from Maccabi Tel Aviv in 2023, but found it hard to break through with Neuer still preferred as No. 1 and Bayern signing the 21-year-old Jonas Urbig from Cologne in January.

The Bayern Munich is about to complete one of the most prominent signings of the season: Luis Díaz, currently at Liverpool, could become a new player for the German club for a fee close to 75 million euros. This operation would be a significant boost for Bayern, which is looking to strengthen its squad with young talent.

“In the end, it was a matter of nuances,” Wirtz’s father and co-agent Hans-Joachim told Spiegel. “The decision ultimately had to do with the different sporting situations and Florian’s role. And financially, there weren’t any major differences between the two clubs anyway.”

Bayern Munich midfielder Jamal Musiala says “nobody is to blame” for the serious left leg injury he sustained last week. The Germany international fractured his fibula as a result of a broken ankle in Bayern’s Club World Cup quarter-final defeat by Paris Saint-Germain on Saturday following a collision with goalkeeper Gianluigi Donnarumma.

According to a report from Bild’s Julian Agardi (as captured by @iMiaSanMia), VfB Stuttgart is full aligned throughout the club on the hardline stance it has taken with Bayern Munich regarding a move for Nick Woltemade:
