FC Bayern Munich had an eventful summer in terms of arrivals and departures.

The longest summer transfer window concluded in Germany on Monday. Meanwhile, Portugal and Netherlands had an extra day to complete business, which turned out to be useful for FC Bayern Munich. The German Champions were busy in the last few days as they looked to bolster the squad.

After winning the treble last season, there was no need for wholesale changes in the squad. However, there were some clear holes in the team that needed plugging. The European Champions were not the biggest spenders in Europe, but there was a tidy influx in the first-team squad.

Along with arrivals, there were some departures. One was painful, while others were important for the development of players. The club hierarchy has managed to reinforce the squad that can help them to navigate through a hectic season as they compete for multiple trophies.

Moreover, adding quality to a winning squad decreases complacency in the group. Retaining the Champions League is on the agenda of Rekordmeister as no German club has ever achieved it, and only Real Madrid has managed to do it in the history of the competition. Here is a brief analysis of all arrivals and departures in the last three months.
