Just last weekend, we explored what Bayern Munich fans would theoretically need to feel comfortable with the club potentially selling Michael Olise.

Obviously, no one wants to sell the Frenchman, but the hype surrounding Olise is growing. According to this report, Real Madrid are ready to contact Olise directly and make an offer of €160 million to the Bavarians:
🚨#bayernmunich🇫🇷
Florentino Perez backs Michael Olise.💰 Real Madrid → Prepare bid of 160 million euros.
🩹 Rodrygo→ is out for a long time and Olis is regarded as a replacement.
🚫 Bayern→ It is unlikely to let go of key players easily.
📞 Authentic→ Aimed at direct contact with players.
Bayern Munich isn’t selling Olise… but even if it plans to explore the market, an offer of €160 million doesn’t feel substantial enough for the 24-year-old superstar.
Arsenal and FC Barcelona could both be possible destinations for outgoing Borussia Dortmund midfielder Julian Brandt:
Julian Brandt faces a summer that could push his career in a new direction: his contract with Borussia Dortmund expires and two of Europe’s top clubs are taking notice. Arsenal and FC Barcelona are keeping a close eye on the 29-year-old German’s situation, but a concrete breakthrough remains elusive.
Brandt has been playing for Dortmund since the summer of 2019, but this summer, a move away suddenly seemed to be a reality. His contract is expiring, meaning he can be drafted without paying a transfer fee. His profile has therefore received extra attention from interested clubs, according to Sky Sports Germany.
The attacking midfielder himself is said to be eyeing a move abroad. Spain, Italy and England were considered possible destinations. Against this backdrop, it’s no surprise that Arsenal and Barcelona are keeping a close eye on developments surrounding Brandt. So there is interest from both England and Spain, but at the moment it’s just a matter of monitoring and testing. According to reports, there are currently no specific negotiations with any of the aforementioned clubs. For Brandt, that means his future remains open despite clear signs of interest.
Remarkably, according to the same report, Brandt may have left Dortmund last winter. He had two offers from the Premier League at the time but decided to reject them. The reason is clear: he wants to finish the season at his current club.
Brandt returning to Leverkusen wouldn’t be the worst thing in the world.

Borussia Dortmund extends midfielder Felix Nmecha’s contract until 2030:
Earlier in the day, Sky Germany’s Patrick Berger reported the story:
🚨⚫️🟡Breaking News: Borussia Dortmund will extend the contract of Felix Nmecha (25/🇩🇪).
💥 Breakthrough in negotiations with BVB Sports Director Sebastian Kehl and Nmecha’s new agent from The Talent Table.

Prior to this news, Manchester City had a close relationship with Nmecha (via ESPN):
Manchester City have shown interest in Borussia Dortmund star Felix Nmecha, according to Sky Sports Germany. The 25-year-old reportedly “dreams” of playing in the Premier League and City are monitoring the situation closely. Dortmund are reportedly in talks with Nmecha over a new contract with improved terms, with his existing contract expiring in 2028.
With Robert Lewandowski’s future at FC Barcelona looking even more uncertain, MLS clubs are reportedly increasing their interest in the Polish hitman:
Major League Soccer clubs have shown interest in signing Robert Lewandowski as a free agent this summer. Fabrizio Romano reports that the club have “already called” the striker regarding a possible move, while his future at Barcelona remains “open” with his contract set to expire in the coming months. The 37-year-old has played for Barcelona for nearly four years, making 179 appearances, scoring 115 goals and providing 23 assists.

Liverpool are expected to be in strong competition for RB Leipzig winger Jan Diomande:
Sky Sports Germany say Liverpool are looking to bring in Leipzig winger Jan Diomande amid concerns over Mohamed Salah’s future. The Reds’ first priority is to sign Michael Olise from Bayern Munich, but the deal is difficult to complete with Bayern hoping to extend the 24-year-old’s contract beyond 2029. Diomande, 19, is worth around €80m but has also been linked with Arsenal, Manchester United and Bayern.
It now appears that Diomande will move to England rather than a club like Bayern Munich.
