Bayern Munich line up Ibrahimovic role as Cardozo impresses
Rouven Kasper said Bayern cannot market the Bundesliga alone, urging more clubs to tour abroad and show 'more commitment' as media revenues fall in the USA and Japan.
Max Eberl said Joao Palhinha, Sacha Boey and Bryan Zaragoza have 'no future' at Bayern and will not play if they stay. Aston Villa and Newcastle are interested in Palhinha.
Joao Palhinha could leave Bayern for Aston Villa in a cut-price deal this summer, with the midfielder reportedly open to the move.
Bayern II lost 2-0 at Burghausen in Regionalliga Bayern, with Felix Bachschmidt scoring both. Dante's side have now lost six straight games and are still waiting for a goal or point.
Maycon Cardozo, 17, has impressed Kompany in training and in Bayern's 15-0 win over Rottach-Egern. The Brazilian has earned a place on the Asia tour and boosted his chances of first-team involvement.
Bayern still retain Benjamin Šeško on their shortlist as a future striker option. Harry Kane remains first choice, and Šeško fits plans for a long-term successor.
Frank Schmidt backed Arijon Ibrahimovic to shine at Bayern after his Heidenheim loan. The 20-year-old signed until 2028 and is set for first-team minutes under Vincent Kompany.
Bayern have checked Bradley Barcola's situation, but the PSG winger is seen as too expensive and closer to Liverpool. He is viewed as a future option if Michael Olise leaves.
