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. Ter Stegen was long Neuer’s natural successor but is now benched by new signing Joan Garcia at Barcelona. 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.

Bayern Munich’s new signing Tom Bischof, 20, has been sidelined for emergency appendix surgery just days before the Bundesliga opener against RB Leipzig.

Leipzig’s absence from European competition motivated his departure, while Chelsea are raising funds through sales to finance the transfer. His preference underlines the Premier League’s pull over Bundesliga challengers.

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.

Arsenal legend Ian Wright says Harry Kane made a “massive mistake” signing a six-year deal with Spurs in 2018, a move that prevented a 2021 transfer to Manchester City. Spurs rejected City’s £100m bid, leading them to eventually sign Erling Haaland. Kane later joined Bayern and finally won a Bundesliga title, but Wright believes the striker missed earlier trophy opportunities by staying loyal to Tottenham.
