Bayern Munich have now allowed their 12th player to leave the club this summer as fans believe this will trigger new signings before the transfer window closes in September.
The Bavarians are extremely short on squad depth and now Germany U21 international Paul Wanner is close to completing a move to Eredivisie outfit PSV Eindhoven as per Sky Sports’ Florian Plettenberg.
PSV have agreed a permanent deal for Wanner worth €15 million ($17.4m) + add-ons as he is all set to undergo medical for the Dutch outfit in the next couple of days.
The 19-year-old has attracted a lot of interest from clubs all around Europe including Bundesliga outfit Borussia Monchengladbach, who were in with a loan interest.
However, Bayern Munich snubbed his move to Monchengladbach as they reached a permanent switch agreement with PSV with a reported buy-back clause in place.
Wanner is currently recovering from a minor ligament injury and that could be a small hindrance in this deal but shouldn’t be a major concern for PSV.

Why Wanner decided to leave Bayern Munich this summer?
Wanner was not in Vincent Kompany’s direct plans despite injury to Jamal Musiala and Bayern Munich’s failed push to sign Florian Wirtz and Nick Woltemade this summer.
Paul Wanner to PSV Eindhoven is definitely one of my favorite transfers this summer.
A highly technical and elegant advanced playmaker with some really interesting ball striking.
Big talent.

The 19-year-old attacking-midfielder has failed to convince the club hierarchy that he belongs to this level despite his impressive performances for Heidenheim last season.
The teenager has been on loan for the last couple of seasons first at Elversberg followed by last season’s loan spell at Heidenheim.
Wanner featured in 29 Bundesliga matches last season and finished with three goals and two assists. he was lauded for exceptional passing range, creativity, vision and ability to use space near the final third.
He was also a part of the Germany U21 team that reached the Euros U21 final in Slovakia back in June. They unfortunately lost the title clash against England.
A move to PSV could help both parties as he would be featuring in a fast-paced league suited to his style of play.
On the other hand, his permanent switch frees up some more funds for the Bayern bosses to make a couple of more signings filling the holes in the current roster ahead of a big 2025/26 campaign.
