Review and events

Off-season

Nils Petersen of Energie Cottbus became the first official signing of FC Bayern's 2011–12 season. The next two signings were FC Schalke 04 goalkeeper Manuel Neuer followed shortly thereafter by former Schalke right-back Rafinha (after having spent one season at Genoa C.F.C.). On 27 June 2011 it was announced that Gamba Osaka's Japanese teenage prodigy Takashi Usami would be joining Bayern on a one season loan (with an option to make the switch permanent). Takashi Usami will become the first Japanese player ever to play for FC Bayern. On 14 July 2011 Bayern confirmed the signing of the defender Jérôme Boateng from Manchester City, following drawn-out negotiations.

In light of the signing of Manuel Neuer, Thomas Kraft departed for newly promoted Hertha BSC.[1] Andreas Ottl also joined Hertha.[2] Hamit Altıntop joined Real Madrid,[3] while Miroslav Klose opted to join S.S. Lazio,[4] after negotiations with Bayern over a new contract failed. All these players left on free transfers. Mehmet Ekici joined Werder Bremen for €5M.[5]
