There was no name for Son Heung-min. Other players were included in the list of wingers that Bayern Munich is preparing to sign.
Reporter Florian Flettenberg of Germany's Sky Sports Germany reported on the 24th (Korea time) 'Mitoma Kaoru is the new name on Bayern's list.
Flettenberg said 'Mitoma is an interesting player that Bayern have long had their eye on. Bayern have recently reduced their interest in Nico Williams and Jamie Gittens. Mitoma can play on the left like them. Mittoma from Kawasaki focused on dribbling and drew great attention in the English Premier League (EPL). He said, 'Excellent skills and breakthroughs make the opponent dizzy.'
What's interesting is that Mitoma received a lot of attention in the transfer market last winter, even though he had a contract left until 2027. Brighton rejected Al-Nasar's big offer at the time'

Mitoma is one of Japan's leading wingers and began to make his name known in earnest by starting his career in Brighton in the English Premier League (EPL) in the 2022-2023 season. He showed good performance with 10 goals and 7 assists from his debut season, and he played as a key player for Brighton this season as well.
Bayern is not the only country that is interested in Mitoma. Liverpool and Chelsea are also known to be aiming for Mitoma. England's cutoff side 'Liverpool are preparing to sign Brighton winger Mitoma for the upcoming summer. Brighton could also agree to sell Mitoma, and the transfer fee is 80 million pounds (about 150 billion won). News has emerged that Chelsea are also considering an offer.

However, Bayern also does not have only Mitoma as its target for recruitment. Flettenberg added 'Bayern is also seeking to recruit AC Milan striker Rafael Leão to reinforce its offense. Reang's agent Jorge Mendes was contacted. Leão is also one of the long-time targets, and a full-fledged recruitment attempt is expected to take place this summer.'
Leanne is one of the most sought-after strikers across Europe as of last season. It was highly anticipated in 2019 when he moved from Lille to AC Milan in the French Ligue 1 and exploded his potential with Milan. Starting from the 2021-2022 season, he has grown into a top Serie A winger. He led the team to the league championship with 11 goals and 8 assists in 34 league games in that season and was also selected as league MVP. This season, he also led the offense with 12 goals and 13 assists in 50 league games.

Bayern, which has both Mitoma and Leanne as candidates, is expected to negotiate with both players to reinforce its offense this summer. However, Son Heung-min, who has been mentioned since last winter, will not appear at all as a candidate for a leading reporter, and a transfer to Bayern will be virtually impossible.
Germany's Frankfurt New Press last March 'Bayern is looking to recruit an experienced striker to reinforce its offense. Son Heung-min is also on the list, according to reports. 'There is no need to worry about the adjustment period. Bayern were already interested in Son Heung-min. I've been paying attention since the spring of 2021. However, it ended in failure due to Tottenham's contract extension and high transfer fees.'
