Bayern Munich was left scrambling in the transfer window after the club experienced rejection after rejection by all their transfer targets. While the club does relentlessly pursue players, they go after the wrong ones. Case in point: Rodrygo Goes from Real Madrid. Los Blancos offered the Brazilian winger to the Bavarians a few months ago but the latter decided against it:
Rodrygo was offered to Bayern and was briefly discussed back in May. But since not all decision-makers are convinced, he’s currently not a hot topic for the club.

Apart from Arsenal who don’t seem to be a concrete destination for the 24-year-old, Bayern practically has a free run at him. The Spanish giant is in fact willing to part ways with Rodrygo, who also wants out after seeing the competition for the attacking spots is overcrowded.
Similar to Rafael Leão, however, the club is going for Luis Diaz from Liverpool who is essentially another Leroy Sané who was such a letdown in his final days at Munich. With the club seemingly (foolishly) prepared to overpay for Nick Woltemade, such behavior is not surprising.
