It is safe to say that Bayern's decision to sack Julian Nagelsmann has backfired against Oliver Kahn and Hasan Salihamidzic. Pressure is adding up with each passing minute, and with the team's loss this past weekend, fears of a trophyless seasons have started to emerge, with possible big changes coming up for Die Roten if that is confirmed.
A report by Sky Sport states that, in the event of a winless campaign for Bayern, several footballers could leave the club, especially with most of their footballers about to go through contract negotiations with the Bavarians.
The report by the German media outlet includes eleven names that could leave the club in one of the biggest overhauls in their history. The list includes footballers such as Leroy Sané, Sadio Mané, Ryan Gravenberch, Benjamin Pavard, Alphonso Davies, adding Thomas Müller and Serge Gnabry.
Mané, Gravenberch, and Thomas Müller would be let go due to their big contracts and due to their shaky performances this season. Mané and Müller's cases are special, since the Senegalese just joined the club last summer and Müller is the team's leader along with Manuel Neuer. Nevertheless, the German's age could become an issue and his frequent injuries have raised questions about his potential contribution to the club.
The rest of the players mentioned above will start contract negotiations this summer, but if the season ends without new silverware, the club will try to adjust their wages and that could lead to some of them leaving the club.
Players such as Marcel Sabitzer and Joao Cancelo are also included in this report, as Cancelo could go back to Manchester City after his loan spell, while Sabitzer could stay at Manchester United if things go his way. Last, but not least, the team's hierarchy may be inclined to reduce the number of goalkeepers in their payroll, which could lead to one or two exits, with Manuel Neuer, Sven Ulreich and Alexander Nübel being in the mix for a transfer.
Even if Bayern win the Bundesliga title and continue with their record-breaking run, there could still be major changes within the club, with sporting director Hasan Salihamidzic having his job at stake for some controversial decisions made mid-season, such as the sacking of the team's goalkeeper's coach, Toni Tapalovic, or Nagelsmann's exit.
