Bayern Munich’s season is over, but the real work might just be beginning.

This is a crucial offseason for the Bavarians and the coaching staff and front office will be hard at work to try and maneuver the roster in a way that will set up the squad for the 2025/26 campaign. We have a lot to say about that, so let’s get to it.

This is what we have on tap for the Bavarian Podcast Works Show:

• How should we view this season...and what did we learn?
• The standard must be — and will be — higher next season.
• Is there reason to think that Harry Kane might see out his contract...or even stay longer?
• Bayern Munich has key decisions to make in the coming weeks as Dayot Upamecano, Leroy Sané, Sacha Boey, and João Palhinha are among the players where movement is possible (in one way or another). Let’s break those situations down.
• Is this a Florian Wirtz-free podcast? Almost, but not quite.
• Some notes about the Bavarian Podcast Works summer schedule.
