Six of them are currently out on loan: Joao Palhinha at Tottenham Hotspur, Bryan Zaragoza at AS Roma, Sacha Boey at Galatasaray, Daniel Peretz at Southampton FC, Arijon Ibrahimović at 1.

FC Heidenheim and Alexander Nübel at VfB Stuttgart. Four of those loan deals include purchase options, and at present it appears likely that only two will be activated, for Boey and Peretz. In addition, Bayern are said to be ready to offload Min-jae Kim.

Although the South Korea international recently said he is happy in his role as a substitute, he has long been seen as a candidate for sale. According to Sky Germany, Hiroki Ito could also be allowed to leave if a suitable offer arrives. For many of these moves, there will not necessarily be a direct replacement required, but for Kim and Itō are key role players on the squad (as we will likely see this weekend).

There are also complications with selling some of these players as they might not want to leave — with Kim being the chief example. The South Korean’s massive salary is not likely going to be something any other club will want to pick up given his performances.
