Reports emerging from Germany indicate that Portuguese international Raphaรซl Guerreiro could be on his way out of Bayern Munich at the end of the 2024/25 season. Although the 30-year-old versatile defender still has a contract with the Bavarian giants until 2026, reliable sources suggest that the โclear tendencyโ is for Guerreiro to move on next summer.
Guerreiro joined Bayern in the summer of 2023 after a successful seven-year spell at Borussia Dortmund. His free transfer was considered a smart move by Bayern, as the Portuguese left-back brought with him a wealth of Bundesliga experience and technical quality. Comfortable both as a full-back and in midfield, Guerreiro added tactical flexibility to Thomas Tuchelโs squad.
However, despite his qualities, injuries and fierce competition for places have limited his impact at Bayern. With Alphonso Davies firmly established as first-choice left-back and other options available in midfield, Guerreiro has often struggled to secure consistent playing time. This situation has naturally raised questions about his long-term future at the Allianz Arena.
According to reports, Bayern would be open to letting Guerreiro leave a year earlier than his contract end date, particularly if a suitable offer arrives. Such a move would not only create space in the squad but also reduce the wage bill, as the club continues its efforts to restructure and refresh the team.
For Guerreiro himself, the decision to depart could represent an opportunity to reignite his career. At 30, he still has several years of top-level football ahead of him, and his versatility makes him an attractive option for many European clubs. Teams in Spain, Italy, and even the Premier League have been linked with an interest in the past, and those rumors may well resurface as the summer transfer window approaches.
Fans will no doubt remember Guerreiroโs technical elegance, creativity, and calmness on the ball, traits that made him one of the most reliable full-backs in German football during his Dortmund days. While his Bayern stint may not have reached the same heights, his departure would still mark the end of an interesting chapter in his career.
As things stand, the story is still developing, but all indications point to Raphaรซl Guerreiro leaving Bayern Munich in the summer of 2025 โ one year before his contract officially expires.
