Frankfurt plan to relaunch their pursuit of Newcastle striker William Osula in January after failing to land him on deadline day. Personal terms are already agreed with the Danish forward.
Frankfurt’s initial offer of a €5m loan with a €25m buy option was rejected.

October 2025

Bayern Munich sporting director Christoph Freund has dismissed speculation over Michael Olise’s future after reports of €100m Premier League and PSG interest. Bayern are preparing to offer the winger a new contract despite his current deal running until 2029.
Freund insisted Bayern are “under no pressure” and see Olise as a long-term cornerstone, potentially for the next decade. The French international has 54 goal contributions since last season and 11 in 10 matches this campaign. Bayern plan to raise his €12m salary, still far below Harry Kane’s, to reflect his status and stave off interest from abroad.

Bayern Munich have made Marc Guehi a serious target, holding early talks with his representatives. The defender, whose move to Liverpool collapsed last summer, could now choose between multiple European giants if he leaves Palace.
Bayern’s Max Eberl is a strong admirer, with the club weighing moves depending on Dayot Upamecano and Kim Min-jae’s futures. Guehi would reunite with ex-Palace teammate Michael Olise and England colleague Harry Kane in Bavaria. With Liverpool short on fit centre-backs and Real Madrid plus Barcelona monitoring him, Guehi could be at the center of a major 2026 transfer battle.

October 2025

Former Real Madrid midfielder Guti advised Endrick to seek a loan in January if he doesn’t earn first-team chances soon. The 18-year-old Brazilian has yet to make his official debut despite being included in several matchday squads.
Guti stressed the need for regular minutes to accelerate Endrick’s growth, warning that patience alone could stall his development. While Madrid prefer him to stay and wait, Alonso continues to prioritize Rodrygo, Brahim Diaz, and Gonzalo Garcia. The decision over whether to pursue a loan or remain patient looms as critical for Endrick’s trajectory.

Chelsea could revive their pursuit of Nottingham Forest defender Murillo in January after ruling out a move for Marc Guehi. The Blues see Murillo as a key option for Enzo Maresca’s project.
Guehi, whose contract expires next summer, is expected to join Liverpool or Real Madrid instead. Chelsea, having previously targeted Murillo, are now considering him again given his form and importance at Forest since his 2023 move from Corinthians.
