Bayern Munich are no longer able to compete with their European rivals for major signings and are 'planning to become a selling club', according to reports.The club's finances have been hit hard by the Covid-19 pandemic, so much so that they're having to completely remodel their modus operandi.After over a decade of fierce spending, which often involved pinching their domestic rivals' top stars, Bayern will now concentrate on signing players aged between 20 and 22, before developing them and selling them on for a large profit a few years later.According to German outlet Kicker, Bayern have now completely abandoned plans to compete for the world's biggest talents, including the likes of Erling Haaland and Kylian Mbappe - who are both expected to move in the summer.The club, who have won the last nine Bundesliga titles, have reportedly identified 19-year-old Ajax midfielder Ryan Gravenberch as one of their top transfer targets - demonstrating the focus of their new strategy.They will also be relying on their youth system to start churning out players to fill a proportion of their squad over the next few years.Kicker also claim that Bayern are looking to forge partnerships with top division clubs in other European leagues in order for their youngsters to go out on loan and gain valuable experience - which could in turn double-up as a marketing strategy for future sales.Is Bayern Munich's impending decline a 'good thing' for German football?

Manchester City are on the verge of completing of adding another wonder kid to their ranks in the shape of winger Zalan Vancsa.The 17-year-old has impressed at MTK Budapest and drawn interest from some of Europe’s top clubs, including Bayern Munich and AC Milan.But City have managed to fend off that interest.According to The Telegraph, the Hungarian prospect is ‘on the brink’ of signing for the Etihad Stadium outfit.The forward has scored just once so far this season, but his goal-scoring record evidently doesn’t do justice to how impressive he has been since breaking into Budapest’s senior side.It is no secret that City are in need of an out and out striker, though there is an expectation that Vansca won’t be the answer to their prayers just yet and is more likely to be sent back out on loan.With a nine-point lead at the top of the Premier League, Pep Guardiola’s side weren’t expected to spend excessive amounts this month as frankly they are in no rush or need to strengthen.A striker was a priority over the summer but Tottenham were unwilling to part ways with the English no.9 despite the player pushing for the move.But they may not need to, as they are also set to sign Argentinian forward Julian Alvarez this month for £18million from River Plate.HAVE YOUR SAY! Who is the best wonderkid you've ever seen? Comment below.Alvarez was linked with a move to Manchester United this month but a deal never materialised, and City seized the opportunity by striking a deal with the Argentinian side to sign the 21-year-old but loan him back for the remainder of the season.He scored 18 goals and assisted six in 21 league appearances and drew comparisons to Sergio Aguero, which has obviously piqued the interest of the City faithful
