Chelsea are prepared to let Nicolas Jackson leave on loan this summer, with Bayern Munich reportedly reaching an agreement. The Blues demand a £10m loan fee, clearing space as they pursue Manchester United’s Alejandro Garnacho for around £25m.

Despite retiring after Euro 2024, Manuel Neuer could return for Germany’s 2026 World Cup campaign. DFB sporting director Rudi Völler has contacted the Bayern goalkeeper after doubts over Marc-André ter Stegen, who lost his Barcelona spot and remains sidelined post-surgery.

With his fitness and form uncertain, the DFB sees Neuer’s potential recall as a contingency to stabilize Germany’s goalkeeping options ahead of 2026.

Bayern Munich’s sporting director Max Eberl faces internal backlash after unilaterally selling Kingsley Coman to Al-Nassr without board approval. The leadership clashed with Eberl, questioning why no successor was arranged as part of the transfer strategy, sparking major internal discord.

The fallout underscores tension within Bayern’s management as they juggle financial responsibility and maintaining squad competitiveness before the new season.

Bayern Munich’s new signing Tom Bischof, 20, has been sidelined for emergency appendix surgery just days before the Bundesliga opener against RB Leipzig. The setback arrived hours after Vincent Kompany confirmed a fully fit squad for Friday’s Allianz Arena clash.

His absence is indefinite, leaving Bayern without the young midfielder as they launch their Bundesliga campaign.

Bayern Munich have rejected all loan offers for 18-year-old Jonah Kusi-Asare, deciding to keep him as Harry Kane’s understudy this season.

Coman is set to join Al-Nassr for just under €30m on a three-year deal, linking up with Cristiano Ronaldo in the Saudi Pro League.
