Raphaël Guerreiro is poised to conclude his tenure at Bayern Munich, with the Portuguese international set to depart as a free agent following the expiration of his contract on June 30, 2026, as reported by Fabrizio Romano via their x handle.
Romano stated;
BREAKING: Raphael Guerreiro has decided to leave FC Bayern as free agent in June. He’s ready for new chapter of his career.
Having joined Bayern from Borussia Dortmund in 2023 on a free transfer, Guerreiro will again leave without a fee, marking the end of a productive three-year stint in Munich.
During his time with Bayern, Guerreiro showcased his versatility and intelligence, playing both as a left-back and in midfield. He made 89 appearances, scoring 12 goals and providing 8 assists, showcasing his technical skills and offensive contribution.
Softfootball noted that his dedication and professionalism garnered admiration within the club, with sporting director Max Eberl referring to him as “a reliable professional” and highlighting his ability to “enrich any dressing room.”
Guerreiro, who turned 32 in December 2025, is remembered as one of the Bundesliga’s most skillful and tactically astute players. Unfortunately, his concluding season at Bayern was marred by injury issues.
In September 2025, he faced an abdominal injury during a significant 5–0 victory against Hamburg, which sidelined him for an important UEFA Champions League match against Chelsea. This compelled manager Vincent Kompany to modify his defensive lineup, with players like Josip Stanišić stepping into the breach.
As Guerreiro prepares for his next career phase, speculation regarding his future is already in circulation. He has been frequently linked with a move to Italian giants Juventus, while a potential return to Portugal with SL Benfica, a club he has expressed admiration for, remains a strong possibility.
Equipped with experience, adaptability, and a high football IQ, Guerreiro is set to embark on a new journey, exiting Bayern with respect, gratitude, and a legacy of understated excellence.
