Harry Kane Seeking Transfer To Bayern Munich

Jun 27, 2023 12:00 PM

Harry Kane would like a transfer from Tottenham Hotspur to Bayern Munich.

Bayern have stepped up their interest in Kane after an opening bid of £60 million. Spurs will demand at least £100 million to agree to a transfer.

Kane, however, could leave on a free transfer next summer.

Daniel Levy could decide to accept a slightly lower offer if it means not having to lose the 29-year-old to a Premier League rival.

Bayern’s bid is being driven by their head coach, Thomas Tuchel, who wants to sign an elite No 9.

Real Madrid Hopeful Of Signing Kylian Mbappe

Jun 26, 2023 11:36 AM

Real Madrid are cautiously hopeful of their odds of signing Kylian Mbappe this summer.

Mbappe was close to joining Real Madrid last summer before he agreed to a new contract with PSG.

Publicly, Mbappe insists he wants to continue at PSG for one more season, but he's privately expressing a preference to join Real Madrid this summer. PSG would prefer to avoid losing him on a free transfer in 2024.

Mbappe would lead Madrid's attack alongside Vincius and Rodrygo.

Madrid's need for Mbappe is greater now that they've lost Karim Benzema to Saudi Arabia.

City To Join Arsenal In Bidding For Declan Rice

Jun 22, 2023 11:05 AM

Manchester City are preparing a formal offer to West Ham for Declan Rice.

Arsenal are also pursuing Rice and have had two bids rejected with the latest one worth $115 million.

City were waiting for Ilkay Gundogan to decide his future before pursuing Rice. Gundogan signed with Barcelona this week.

Arsenal were confident that Rice wanted to move to Emirates Stadium but City will test that confidence, especially given they can tempt West Ham with a player-plus-cash deal.
