Bayern prepare bid for Harry Kane with Bundesliga giants ready to pounce on Tottenham uncertainty

April 14, 2023 No Comments

Bayern Munich are reportedly looking to test Tottenham Hotspur’s resolve with a big-money offer for star striker Harry Kane. The Bavarians are looking to sign a top-quality striker this summer after failing to replace Robert Lewandowski last season. The Pole was Bayern’s leading marksman for several seasons but joined Barcelona with one year left on his contract last summer. His replacement Sadio Mane has not lived up to the billing at Allianz Arena, with fitness issues and poor form denying him the impact that the club would have wanted.

They are preparing to send an offer for the Tottenham striker, who has been on the radar of the German giants for a long time. Bayern feel that Kane’s frustration with Spurs’ trophy drought will help them could secure their target. The Three Lions captain has just one year left on his contract at Tottenham Hotspur, and Bayern Munich will look to persuade him to Germany by offering him a lucrative deal. The 29-year-old had also received interest from Manchester City in the past, while Manchester United are also rumoured to be interested. However, it’s doubtful that Daniel Levy would sanction a deal to sell him to an English counterpart.

April 13, 2023 No Comments

The father of Brighton midfielder Alexis Mac Allister has revealed that he expects his son to leave the Seagulls this summer. Mac Allister saw his profile rise considerably after playing a crucial role in Argentina’s run to World Cup glory in Qatar last November. His performance at the tournament alerted several Premier League giants, who have since voiced an interest in signing the 24-year-old. According to reports, Manchester City, Tottenham, Liverpool, Newcastle, and Chelsea are all closely monitoring Mac Allister, who signed a new three-year contract in October. Juventus are also among the sides from Europe keen on the Brighton man.

The talks are just beginning in general, but it is most likely that Alexis will be playing for another team in July.” Brighton are unhappy with Mac Allister and his entourage for the way they have handled the issue of his availability in the summer and have warned that they will not be pressured to sell. The Seagulls have proven that they can stand their ground when big clubs come for their star players, with Arsenal’s unsuccessful pursuit of Moises Caicedo a perfect example of their stubbornness.

Arsenal and Man United target Julián Brandt sign new Dortmund deal

April 12, 2023 No Comments

Borussia Dortmund have announced that Julian Brandt has signed a new contract that will keep him at Signal-Iduna Park until 2026. The midfielder’s previous deal was set to expire next summer, but the Bundesliga giants have successfully negotiated an extension after several weeks of behind-the-scenes negotiation over new terms. The new deal comes as a blow for clubs interested in Brandt, with Arsenal, Liverpool, Manchester City and Newcastle United all interested in the player, while Italian clubs Inter and Napoli were also keeping a watchful eye on negotiations. Read more: Erling Haaland compared to Messi and Ronaldo BVB confirmed on Tuesday that Brandt has committed his future to the club. Brandt said in a club statement: “Even after four years, I still have a lot of fun every single day being part of this very team, standing on the pitch with these guys and playing football for this highly emotional club with its extraordinary fans. “To be honest, the feeling of being in the right place at the right time has always been the most important point in my sporting life. “And that won’t change either. I’m looking forward to the next few years in black and yellow. And I’m sure we’ll have the opportunity to celebrate something big together.” Having sealed a deal for Brandt, Dortmund might attempt to tie down the highly sought-after Jude Bellingham to a new contract. The English midfielder is wanted by Liverpool, Manchester City and Real Madrid but could stay back at Signal Iduna Park beyond this summer after Liverpool pulled out of the race due to his price tag. Meanwhile, Dortmund are still in the Bundesliga title fight and could still pip Bayern Munich to the title this season, given the Bavarians’ struggles. Should they win the title, it will help them in future negotiations and could persuade Bellingham to stay.

Liverpool pull out of Jude Bellingham’s race

April 12, 2023 No Comments

Liverpool have reportedly given up their pursuit of Borussia Dortmund midfielder Jude Bellingham. The Reds were keen on signing Bellingham this summer after identifying the Englishman as the face of their new project. But new reports on Tuesday claim that Jurgen Klopp’s men have dramatically decided to pull out of the race to sign the youngster as they prioritise a significant squad rebuild instead. Read more: Jurgen Klopp’s wants Nicolo Barella to strengthen his struggling midfield According to a report by GOAL, the financial outlay needed to sign Bellingham this summer convinced Liverpool to abandon the deal and seek cheaper alternatives that would benefit the entire team. Borussia Dortmund had placed a £120 million ($149m) price tag on the 19-year-old, who has two years left on his contract but who is expected to look to move clubs at the end of the season. Liverpool believe they could get two or three other quality players with that amount and have taken the early and pragmatic decision to focus on a group of signings this summer rather than one stellar addition who would blow their entire kitty. Klopp and the Liverpool transfer team have identified Chelsea’s Mason Mount as a possible alternative to Bellingham. The England midfielder will cost way less than Dortmund want for Bellingham, given that he has a year left on his contract at Chelsea and wants to leave Stamford Bridge. As a result, the Blues will be forced to sell him this summer to avoid losing him for free next year. Meanwhile, Liverpool’s interest in Wolves’ Matheus Nunes is understood to have cooled. Still, Inter Milan’s Nicolo Barella, Bayern’s Ryan Gravenberch, Atalanta’s Teun Koopmeiners and Luka Sucic of Salzburg are all admired.

Man Utd planning HUGE summer clear-out

April 11, 2023 No Comments

Manchester United are reportedly planning to sell as many as 13 players this summer in order to properly replenish Erik ten Hag’s squad. According to the Daily Mail, the Red Devils are keen on a squad overhaul, and have identified at least 13 players that they consider dead weight, who could be sold this summer to generate funds for a squad rebuild. Erik ten Hag’s side are currently facing ownership uncertainty and are also walking a tightrope with Financial Fair Play given their incredibly bloated squad. But they are now planning to address their squad size and are ready to move on over a dozen first team players and popular names. Read more: Erling Haaland compared to Messi and Ronaldo Cheif among those that could be sold is Annthony Elanga. The Swede has attracted plenty of interest, with Borussia Dortmund reportedly keen. Also, defender Eric Bailly is also seti to be moved on at the end of his unsuccessful loan spell at Marseille. Ivorian youngster Amad Diallo is set to be given a chance in the first team next season, while Facundo Pellistri could then be sent on loan for further experience, following his breakthrough season at Old Trafford. United could also try to sell club captain Harry Maguire, Brandon Williams, Aaron Wan-Bissaka, Alex Telles, Anthony Martial and Donny van de Beek. The club has transfer targets in mind and have already spoken to the representatives of Bayer Leverkusen full-back Jeremie Frimpong, giving new transfer negotiator Matt Hargreaves plenty to get busy with over the coming months

Jurgen Klopp’s wants Nicolo Barella to strengthen his struggling midfield

April 11, 2023 No Comments

Liverpool are reportedly keen on signing Inter Milan midfielder Nicolo Barea this summer. The Reds are in the market this summer for a midfielder as they are determined to strengthen that department of their team, given that they have struggled massively in that area this season. They have long been linked with Borussia Dortmund star Jude Bellingham, but they face fierce competition from the likes of Real Madrid and Manchester City for the signature of the England international. Read more: Joao Cancelo insists Bayern career has been ‘positive’ despite a disappointing start Apart from Bellingham, Brighton star Moises Caicedo is also a target. But the Ecuadorian has been linked with a number of top Premier League sides and might elude Jurgen Klopp’s side given that they might not qualify for the Champions League next season. According to Italian outlet Calcio Mercato, Liverpool have now placed Barella at the top of Klopp’s wishlist of midfield reinforcements along with Bellingham and Caicedo. But as it the case with Bellingham and Caicedo, the Premier League side could face competition in the race for Barella. Chelsea are reportedly interested in the 26-year-old, although the Blues might be restrixyed by finances given their £600m spending spree across the last two transfer windows. It’s expected that Barella would cost Liverpool around £65m – a hefty fee, though potentially cheaper than what they could sign Bellingham or Caicedo for. The Italian is happy with life at the San Siro and is contracted there until 2026. But Inter could be forced to sell if a big offer comes in for their midfielder.

Haaland compared to Messi and Ronaldo

April 10, 2023 No Comments

Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola has likened Erling Haaland to five-time Ballon d’Or winner Cristiano Ronaldo and his eternal rival Lionel Messi. The Norwegian striker has been in hot form since joining Man City from Borussia Dortmund last summer. He is already City’s all-time leading goalscorer in a single season, having scored twice in his side’s 4-1 over Southampton on Saturday. That brace took his tally in the Premier League this season to 30 in only 27 appearances. With nine games still to play in the PL this season, Haaland could score ten more goals, given his current ratio of goals per game. That would put the Norwegian on 40 goals this season. Should he achieve that, he would smash the existing single-season Premier League record of 32 goals held by Liverpool’s Mohamed Salah. Read more: Man United make decision of Marcel Sabitzer Speaking after the game against Southampton on Saturday, Haaland’s coach Pep Guardiola quickly praised the superstar’s goal-scoring ability, comparing him to Ronaldo and Messi. However, he insisted that the Argentine was a more complete player. “In terms of the thesis of scoring goals. He’s quite similar in terms of Cristiano, but Messi is the more complete player,” Guardiola explained. “Messi can play wherever while Cristiano and Erling are machines. Erling knows those two guys dominated over two decades, not just one or two seasons, winning titles and doing everything. Football is a better place for Cristiano and Messi for what they have done for our business and the traction of these two guys competing at the big clubs. “Erling is arriving in the toughest league in the world. I can talk as I’ve been in other leagues, and doing what he has done is remarkable.” The Catalan coach worked extensively with Messi at Barca and is better placed than most to directly compare Haaland to the World Cup winner. And according to Pep, it seems that Haaland has the edge on the all-time great in terms of his positive mindset. “Haaland is always happy, always smiling. Lionel Messi scored two but not three and was a bit sad because he didn’t score the third!” Guardiola explained. “Erling is all the time in an incredible mood. Even in the bad moments at the beginning of this season, when people said he couldn’t adapt, he arrived at training with a big smile and said hi to everyone. He has had an incredible impact, not just on the pitch. “Every day in training sessions, in the locker room. I have the feeling that he is so happy with us. He never complains about [being taken off]. He respects me a lot.”

Koulibaly opens up on his future amid uncertainty around Chelsea stay

April 10, 2023 No Comments

Chelsea defender Kalidou Koulibaly has insisted he wants to remain at the club despite uncertainty around his future at Stamford Bridge. The Senegal defender has not enjoyed a comfortable season, with Chelsea struggling. Since joining from Napoli last summer, Koulibaly has played 20 Premier League games as the Blues sit 11th in the table. The Senegalese centre-back spent eight years at Napoli before switching to Stamford Bridge for a reported 33 million Euro deal. He was one of Todd Boehly’s first signings as Chelsea owner and scored on his home debut against Tottenham. Read more: Joao Cancelo insists Bayern career has been ‘positive’ despite a disappointing start While he has admitted he has not been in the best form, the defender insists he wants to remain at Chelsea for as long as possible. “I know I’m not at 100 per cent yet, but I think I’m coming to my level,” he said. “Chelsea made a big decision to sign me, and there’s a big desire in me to give back. I want to be part of this club for many years. This is not the year Chelsea were expecting, but sometimes when you have big changes, new proprietors, and half the team is new, everybody has to adapt. “But we know how big the ambition is here, and we’re going to work to win back the confidence of the supporters.” In his short time at Stamford Bridge, Koulibaly has seen three managerial changes, with Thomas Tuchel, Graham Potter and Frank Lampard all brought in his nine months at the club. He will be hoping that after his side’s 1-0 loss to Wolves in Lampard’s return, his side will be able to get back to form as they target a top-seven finish.

Joao Cancelo insists Bayern career has been ‘positive’ despite a disappointing start

April 8, 2023 No Comments

Bayern Munich full-back Joao Cancelo has insisted that “his heart is in the right place” and is not worried, claiming that his Bayern career has been “positive” despite struggling to get minutes. The Portuguese international sealed a move to the Allianz Arena in a short-term loan deal in January. The agreement includes a permanent purchase option after the first six months. However, things have not gone as planned for Cancelo, who has struggled to find his feet in his new surroundings and fell down the pecking order under former manager Julian Nagelsmann. Read more: Cody Gakpo admits to confusion over his Liverpool role A change in management did not immediately transform his fortunes as new boss Thomas Tuchel benched him in his first game in charge against Borussia Dortmund in Bundesliga. However, despite his struggles in Germany, Cancelo has stated that he is putting everything in training to turn around his fortunes and can “always be counted upon”. “I see my start at Bayern as positive. There’s always a certain adjustment period for footballers. That’s why I tried to integrate myself into the team as quickly as possible, to get to know the teammates & the system,’ he told the official club website. “Sometimes it is said that I may not have a very simple personality. But my heart is in the right place,” he added. “And you can always count on me. Everyone and everything at FC Bayern is focused on absolute success. Here you work really hard in every single training session – I really like this mentality. I’m happy to be here and to play for this great team.” Despite not getting enough minutes in Germany, Bayern rate Cancelo highly, and the club’s director Hasan Salihamidzic has insisted that “Cancelo is a top player” and “will get his games.”

Man United make decision of Marcel Sabitzer

April 7, 2023 No Comments

Manchester United have reportedly decided to make Marcel Sabitzer’s loan move from Bayern Munich permanent in the summer. According to a report by 90min, Erik ten Hag is a fan of the Austrian midfielder and wants United to sign him permanently when his loan deal at the club expires this June. Sabitzer joined United on loan from Bayern on deadline day in January and has made eleven appearances in all competitions. He has enjoyed his time at Old Trafford since Christian Eriksen and Casemiro were sidelined due to injury and suspension. Ten Hag is keen to boost the quality of United’s midfield ahead of next season, and the club considers Sabitzer a potential bargain to do so on a permanent deal. Read more: PSG concede defeat in the quest to extend Lionel Messi’s contract It remains to be seen if Bayern Munich, under new coach Thomas Tuchl will want to sell the player. Sabitzer had been out of favour at Bayern under former boss Julian Nagelsmann. But as per the report, the situation has stayed the same under new coach Tuchel, and Bayern will not stand in the player’s way of a permanent exit. They are prepared to sell for a sum similar to what they initially paid RB Leipzig in August 2021 – around €16m (£13.7m). Apart from Man United, other European sides are interested in Sabitzer. But he is understood to be happy at United, having settled well since arriving. So United are the player’s first choice.
