Bayern clear four players from first-team plans ahead of summer overhaul

Bayern Munich has dropped João Palhinha, Sacha Boey, Bryan Zaragoza and Armindo Sieb from its first-team squad list, with German media reporting that all four are expected to leave this summer. The club believes the call will refresh the group before the new season and open up more opportunities for younger players. As part of that shift, 18-year-old Senegalese midfielder Bara Sapoko Ndiaye is being promoted to the senior squad to work under Vincent Kompany.
