Robert Lewandowski, Sebastian Rode, Juan Bernat, Pepe Reina, Medhi Benatia, Xabi Alonso, and Sinan Kurt transferred to Bayern. Lewandowski was the second "key" player within a year to move to Bayern from Borussia Dortmund. Bayern bought Medhi Benatia from Roma for an undisclosed fee. Pep Guardiola wanted to sign another player due to Javi Martínez's injury in the German Super Cup. For this reason, Bayern brought Xabi Alonso from Real Madrid for undisclosed fee. Lukas Raeder, Alessandro Schöpf, Mario Mandžukić, Toni Kroos, and Diego Contento left the club. Contento had been at the club for 19 years. Mandžukić wanted to leave Bayern because the "playing style of coach Pep Guardiola simply does not fit him." Julian Green was loaned out to Hamburger SV and Daniel Van Buyten retired. He had been offered another role at Bayern.
