Bayern Munich plan on hiring a new manager by the end of April.

CEO Karl-Heinz Rummenigge has also finally ended speculation that Jupp Heynckes could return next season

"It's Heynckes wish to retire at the end of the season," Rummenigge said.

Bayern will not pursue any manager who does not speak German.

"We want a German-speaking coach," Rummenigge added. "That's the way it will be."

Rummenigge confirmed Thomas Tuchel was a candidate but he's committed to another club.

"Our sporting director Hasan Salihamidzic has held talks with coaches and Tuchel was among them," the CEO said, noting that he couldn't say a "bad word" about Tuchel.

"He informed us that he's signed for another club. But that isn't a problem for us, we are relaxed."

Manchester City will open talks with Raheem Sterling this summer on an improved contract extension.

Sterling is under contract until 2020.

Sterling's future with City appeared uncertain last season, but he has since become an essential part of Pep Guardiola's squad.

“Txiki [Begiristain, the club’s director of football] is talking about that,” Guardiola said before City’s visit to Everton on Saturday evening. “There is no doubt we have to keep him. Maybe other clubs are now interested in him because he is playing so well but he knows how important he is to us.”

Gabriel Jesus and Manchester City are putting their extension talks on hold but he wants to remain with the club over the long-term.

Jesus is under contract through 2021.

Jesus had been expected to sign a new deal before Christmas that would take him through 2021.

Jesus is set to be Brazil's first-choice striker at this summer's World Cup in Russia. 

Sergej Milinkovic-Savic has been identified as a summer target for Manchester United, Real Madrid and Paris Saint-Germain.

Lazio sporting director Igli Tare has said it will take "much more" than €90 million ($110.6 million) to sell Milinkovic-Savic.

Milinkovic-Savic is considered one of the world's best young box-to-box midfielders.

"We know where we want to get and I don't like to talk about it now because we're in the midst of a battle for many important objectives and there is a time and a place to talk about things," he told Sportitalia.

Asked whether €80-90 million was a fair valuation, he said: "Yes -- even much more. There have already been offers in this region last summer and we didn't consider them.

"There are major European clubs interested in Milinkovic-Savic, but we don't have anything definite on the table."

Isco admitted he feels more confident playing with the Spanish national team than he does Real Madrid.

Isco's standing with Zinedine Zidane has varied over their tenure working together. Isco scored a hattrick in Spain's 6-1 win over Argentina on Tuesday.

"In Madrid I don't have the confidence a player needs,'' Isco said in a postmatch interview with Marca. "The matches with the national team give me life. Here I have the confidence of the coach.

"I want to show that I'm a good player. Lopetegui shows me confidence with the minutes he gives me.

"Maybe I'm the problem in Madrid. I don't know how to win Zidane's confidence.''

Eden Hazard is prioritizing Belgium's World Cup run over signing an extension with Chelsea.

Hazard is under contract until 2020 and does not expect a quick resolution to his future.

“Look, I’m going to finish the season first, then play the World Cup and then I’ll leave on holiday,” Hazard said. “We’ll see what happens next. I haven’t thought about it yet; I have another two years’ contract with Chelsea. I am very happy. I just think about the end of the season and the World Cup.”

There have been suggestions Hazard will wait to see if Real Madrid will prioritize signing him this summer before committing to Chelsea. Hazard may also wait to see if Chelsea secures a spot in the Champions League next season.

Cesc Fabregas is open to returning to Arsenal one day as a coach.

Fabregas left Arsenal for a return to Barcelona in 2011 and then went to Chelsea in 2014 after Arsene Wenger turned down a chance to re-sign him.

Fabregas was asked about the possibility during a question and answer session with fans on Twitter on Sunday and replied: "Of course."

Paul Pogba and Antoine Griezmann said they would like to play together at the club level, but that doesn't mean it will happen with Manchester United.

Pogba returned to United from Juventus in 2016 but his time there has been uneven.

Griezmann has been linked with a move to United in the past.

"If only we could do this every day," Pogba said, with Griezmann responding: "That would be great. But hey, that doesn't mean I'm going to go to Man U."

Pogba added: "The whole year together, winning trophies. I really hope we're going to do that one day."

According to multiple reports, Thomas Tuchel has rejected an offer to become the next manager of Bayern Munich and will instead likely replace Arsene Wenger at Arsenal.

Tuchel is the former manager of Borussia Dortmund.

Jupp Heynckes is currently interim manager of Bayern Munich after Carlo Ancelotti was fired in the first part of the season.

Tuchel could also be an option for Chelsea or Paris Saint-Germain.

Paris Saint-Germain have opened talks with Antonio Conte's agents as they hope to convince him to leave Chelsea this summer.

Unai Emery is certain to be fired by PSG this summer.

PSG also has interest in José Mourinho, Diego Simeone and Massimiliano Allegri, but those three managers will be more difficult to attract than Conte.

PSG knows Conte has been frustrated by his situation with Chelsea.
