Report: Bayern to sign replacement defender if Kim Min-Jae departs
Should Kim Min-Jae leave the club this summer, Bayern would go for another centre-back in addition to Jonathan Tah. Hiroki Itō is still sidelined for a lengthy period and Josip Stanišić is planned to cover both at centre-back and right-back. Dayot Upamecano and Tah are expected to be the starting duo in defence next season. Meanwhile, Leverkusen are playing hard ball with Bayer regarding the 29-year-old's transfer. Die Rekordmeister, who are hoping to lure him to the club before the Club World Cup starts, could have to pay a 7-figure fee for his early release.

Bayern Munich could be forced to sell Dayot Upamecano
Bayern Munich could be forced to sell Dayot Upamecano (26) during the summer transfer window, according to a report from Foot Mercato. Upamecano's contract situation with the Bavarian club is precarious. His current deal runs until the summer of 2026 and whilst there have been talks over a renewal, they have reached a dead end. The Frenchman, therefore, goes into the summer transfer window with just one year remaining on his deal. PSG not interested in Upamecano signing Bayern Munich are determined not to lose the player on a free transfer, and with no signs of a renewal, it could incite the Bundesliga giants to sell the player at the end of the season. Despite links to Paris Saint-Germain, Foot Mercato understands that the Ligue 1 champions currently have no intention of signing the France international, despite being in the market for a centre-back. PSG are preparing for the possibility of Marquinhos departing but Upamecano is not part of any succession planning. GFFN | Luke Entwistle

Bayern's Upamecano mack in light training after knee injury
Bayern Munich's Alphonso Davies speaks during the Teams press conference at the Sabener Strasse training ground ahead of the UEFA Champions League soccer match between Bayern Munich and Bayer Leverkusen. Bayern Munich will be without Alphonso Davies for several months due to a serious knee injury, while defender Dayot Upamecano will be out for several weeks in a severe blow to the team before the crucial weeks of the season. Sven Hoppe/dpa Bayern Munich centre back Dayot Upamecano returned to light training on Wednesday in some good news for the injured plagued club. Bayern said that Upamecano ran some laps on their training ground. The club spoke of "a first step" towards a comeback after being diagnosed with loose tissue in his left knee at the end of March. Advertisement The Bundesliga leaders and Champions League quarter-finalists did not say when the France defender will be able to play again. The first player to return to action could be midfielder Aleksandar Pavlovic who has been sidelined since late February with glandular fever. He is training and there is speculation he could be back in the squad for Saturday's league match against Borussia Dortmund. It is meanwhile not clear if goalkeeper Manuel Neuer could return from a calf muscle injury for the following match on April 16 at Inter Milan, where Bayern have to make a 2-1 home defeat if they want to reach the Champions League semi-finals. Playmaker Jamal Musiala is out for several more weeks with a hamstring tear. Left back Alphonso Davies and centre back Hiroki Ito will be absent for months with a cruciate knee ligament tear and fractured metatarsal, respectively.

Bayern's Ito breaks foot again after only recent comeback
MUNICH, Germany March 30 (Reuters) - Bayern Munich defender Hiroki Ito suffered a broken metatarsal bone in his right foot for the second time in less than a year, just weeks after his comeback from the first injury, the Bundesliga leaders said on Sunday. Ito, who broke his metatarsal back in July after arriving in Munich and only came back last month, was brought on in the 58th minute in Saturday's 3-2 win over St Pauli but was injured late in the game. "He has suffered a recurrence of a fracture in his right metatarsal, a scan by the FC Bayern medical team has confirmed," the club said in a statement. "Ito, who moved to Munich from VfB Stuttgart last summer, will be unavailable to Bayern for a lengthy period." He is the third defender ruled out in past days following the injuries of Dayot Upamecano and Alphonso Davies while on international duty just over a week ago. Bayern, who lead the Bundesliga title race with a six-point advantage and seven matches remaining, face Inter Milan in their Champions League quarter-final first leg on April 8. "The news of another serious injury to Hiroki hits us all very hard. He's only just battled back after months of rehab and will now be out for a long time again – we can barely imagine how he's feeling," Bayern board member for sport Max Eberl said in a statement. "After the injuries to Alphonso Davies and Dayot Upamecano, we've now lost a third defender in a short space of time. We will now pool our forces even more to continue pursuing our goals."
