Bayern Munich Transfer News and Rumours Tracker: Week of September 29

The games are coming thick and fast for Bayern Munich at the moment, with Champions League and Bundesliga commitments seemingly taking up every day on the Bavarian club's calendar. 

However, it would seem as though Pep Guardiola's team may just have the quality and quantity within their side to compete on all levels, with a win against stiff domestic opponents Koln on Saturday likely to be followed by a win against CSKA Moscow on Tuesday. 

Before the match, the attention of the media and the eyes of the football world have turned to the news and transfer rumours surrounding Bayern. The best of those stories are detailed in this week's tracker.

The big news at the start of the week concerns a rumour that has persisted throughout the summer and now looks to gathering speed as we slowly move toward the January transfer window. 

It surrounds Sami Khedira, with the German World Cup champion reportedly considering leaving Real Madrid once his contract expires next summer. 

The midfielder will be free to speak to clubs about leaving the Spanish giants once he enters the final six months of his contract in January. This has led to the Daily Express stating that Arsenal are the most likely option, based on unsourced "reports in Spain".

Although these are just rumours at the moment, Khedira was linked with a possible move to Bayern in the future, this summer—the Daily Mail, on August 23, for example—and with Xabi Alonso's age meaning he's likely to be little more than a stopgap, it seems logical for the Bavarian club to be interested.

Another rumour that hasn't been directly linked to Bayern of late is one surrounding Marco Reus' future at German rivals Borrusia Dortmund. 

The attacking midfielder's future has long been the subject of much speculation in the media, with reports in the Mirror on Friday, September 26 suggesting that Reus will not renew his contract at the club. 

The report doesn't source, yet alludes, to the Spanish paper Marca, which in turn allegedly states that the German midfielder will be sold next summer before his contract expires. 

The English paper has only stated an interest from Arsenal and Manchester United, yet Bayern have reportedly shown an interest in Reus over the past few seasons. No news from Bavaria as of yet, but it's an inevitable suggestion if stories surrounding the player's future continue.
