Bayern Munich’s summer transfer window season has been silent since July 1st hit, but there are a lot of rumors swirling. Let’s talk through those, but let’s also discuss what could be a leadership void with the team as it heads into the new season. This is what we have on tap for this episode of the Bavarian Podcast Works — Weekend Warm-up Show:

• Hermann Gerland has retired from coaching after a terrific career.
• Is the void with leadership bigger than with players at left-wing, center-back, etc. at Bayern Munich? Will the team be ready for the rigors of the season after so many early setbacks?
• The Luis Diaz saga continues. What should we think of the latest news and should Bayern Munich be willing to pay upwards of €80 million for the Liverpool attacker.
• The latest on Nick Woltemade.
• A high-level, non-spoiler review of Squid Game season three.

• Chelsea’s Christopher Nkunku to Bayern? He is affordable and could fill the voice at the No. 10 spot...but can he play win the way that Bayern Munich requires?

Bayern Munich is still plowing through names to play wing, so let’s focus on those — plus a discussion on Max Eberl’s statements on Kim Min-jae and João Palhinha. Let’s talk about all of that and more on the Bavarian Football Works — Weekend Warm-up Show:

• Real Madrid youngster Rodrygo could be the latest winger on Bayern Munich’s radar. The Brazilian would probably cost a fortune, but could the answer to Bayern’s problems at wing. Is it possible for Bayern to outbid Paris Saint-Germain, Arsenal FC, and Liverpool FC for the potential superstar.
• If not Rodrygo, should Bayern Munich take a look at RB Leipzig attacker Xavi Simons?
• Is Bayern Munich serious about selling João Palhinha and Kim Min-jae? If so, what does that mean for roster moves this summer? RB Leipzig’s Castello Lukeba has been mentioned as a defensive replacement for Min-jae, but Bayern Munich could just not replace Palhinha. Is that smart?
