Arjen Robben and Franck Ribery have been an integral part of Bayern Munich's success in the last decade. The winger-duo has been involved in a number of goals which has helped the German giants perform well in domestic competitions as well as in Europe.

However, the experienced wingers will not play for Bayern Munich next season, and the club now has to focus on filling the big gap left by Robbery. Although the club was successful in winning yet another Bundesliga, their mediocre performance in the Champions League has not gone down well with the supporters of the club.

Hence, as part of the rebuild, Bayern Munich must focus on various aspects of the squad, but the most important will be the new winger-partnership which will replace the outgoing Robben-Ribery duo.

On that note, here are 3 possible winger-partnerships that can take the field for Bayern Munich next season:


#3 Nicolas Pepe - Kingsley Coman

Nicolas Pepe has been in exceptional form this season with his 22 goals helping his LOSC Lille side exceed expectations in Ligue 1. The winger from Ivory Coast could move this summer and the youngster will be a suitable pick for Bayern Munich.

On the right-hand side, Pepe will be an asset with his pace and dribbling abilities. He does well on counter-attack and can be a dangerous proposition if he links up with Kingsley Coman on the left-hand side.

Kingsley Coman has played for a host of top clubs, and if not for his injury problems, the youngster could have been a well-established player by now. However, the Frenchman is likely to get more chances next season, and if Bayern can sign Pepe, this partnership will be one which the Bayern fans can look forward to.

#2 Callum Hudson-Odoi - Julian Draxler

Callum Hudson-Odoi is one of the best young players in Chelsea. The talented forward has impressed everyone with his skills in front of the goal and he was even linked with a move to Bayern Munich in January.

Hudson-Odoi is a matured performer despite being just 19 years old and hence, he is a perfect target for Bayern Munich, keeping the future in mind. The player is in the final year of his contract with Chelsea, and with a transfer ban looming over the club, Bayern Munich will have their task cut out if they need to sign the youngster in this transfer window.

Julian Draxler has been struggling to make it to the starting XI at PSG, and it is time that he makes a move. The best option for him would be to go to his home nation Germany this summer. Bayern Munich requires versatile wingers in the line-up to increase the depth of the squad for the upcoming season and Julian Draxler could be a valuable addition.

The German can use both his feet and can be extremely fast with the ball. Hence, Bayern Munich can think of Julian Draxler as an option in the upcoming transfer window.

#1 Leroy Sane - Serge Gnabry

Bayern Munich is interested in signing Leroy Sane this summer. The German winger suffered from lack of game time this season, and it would be a good decision if he leaves Manchester City in this transfer window.

Bayern Munich has a big task of replacing Arjen Robben and Franck Ribery in the summer and if they can achieve the signing of Sane, their job would get easier. Leroy Sane is someone who is quick, and the youngster's ability to be creative in front of the goal will serve well for the Bavarian side.

If Sane is allowed to partner with Gnabry at Bayern Munich, then this partnership can surely emulate the "Robbery" at the club. Serge Gnabry was impressive for the club this season and he is sure to get more time on the field next season. Sane and Gnabry make a dangerous partnership, and hence, this should be at the top of the club's wishlist for the next season.
