Thomas Muller leaving clears the way for Bayern Munich’s dream signing

Bayern Munich are in the driver's seat in the Bundesliga title race, but after an undefeated Bayer Leverkusen embarrassed them last season, Die Roten won't take a six-point lead over the resurgent Werkself for granted. Under Vincent Kompany, Bayern have made real strides since the disastrous Thomas Tuchel reign, and they are among the potential Champions League contenders, even though injuries prevent them from being among the favorites. Since Hansi Flick's dominant 2019/20, treble-winning season, Bayern haven't been Champions League favorites, and there's a sense that Max Eberl and Co. have a lot of work to do in the coming transfer windows in order to build Bayern back into being the most dominant force in European football. Signing Harry Kane and Michael Olise to the attack wer...

Why Victor Osimhen is the transfer target Chelsea can’t miss out on this summer

Chelsea have shown immediate improvement in the 2024/25 Premier League season under new coach Enzo Maresca, and barring a late-season collapse, which isn't entirely impossible, the Blues should be back in the Champions League next season. Cole Palmer has continued to lead the way as one of the best players in the Premier League, but the main source of improvement is the better usage of the midfielders, specifically the ultra-talented - and incredibly expensive - duo of Moises Caicedo and Enzo Fernandez. Estevao Willian and Andrey Santos will be two young Brazilians set to reenforce the squad further next season, but even with those guys in the lineup, Chelsea will have key attacking questions to answer. Chelsea have a decent striker in Nicolas Jackson and Palmer as the playmaker, ...

Arsenal won’t like Eintracht Frankfurt’s updated Hugo Ekitike transfer price

Arsenal are in the market for a new starting striker after balking on signing a No. 9 in the last summer transfer window, which ultimately proved costly in the Premier League title race with a much-improved Liverpool side. Now, Arsenal are back to the drawing board in the summer 2025 transfer window, but the best options at striker are largely familiar ones: RB Leipzig's Benjamin Sesko, Sporting CP's Viktor Gyokeres, and Napoli's Victor Osimhen are still among the top options. Newcastle star Alexander Isak has emerged as a dream transfer target for the Gunners, and they are now also looking at Eintracht Frankfurt breakout star Hugo Ekitike as a potentially cheaper alternative. Unfortunately, with other big clubs like Manchester United adding Ekitike to their shortlist, Frankfurt's...

Aston Villa in the driver’s seat to sign one of the season’s biggest breakout stars

Aston Villa injected no shortage of attacking talent into their squad in the January transfer window, signing two of European football's biggest names on loan in PSG's Marco Asensio and Manchester United's perennially underachieving Marcus Rashford. The moves came after Aston Villa sacrificed their biggest breakout star for a big payday from Saudi Arabia, sending out Jhon Duran with Ollie Watkins having the starting job sewn up. But Unai Emery and Monchi do want some striker help, and they also want an attacking midfielder with the profile to play out wide, albeit someone with more dynamism than Asensio. With the futures of Rashford and Asensio unlikely to be with Aston Villa, the Clarets will want younger, more economical, and more consistent solutions to boost a side that most l...

Barcelona willing to sell two very promising young players

There is little question that Barcelona are the best team in the world at producing young talent, especially high-end young talent that has the potential to define a generation. They did that consistently over the past two decades, and, now, in 2025, the foundations of the team contending for the 2024/25 LaLiga title are mostly ascending rockstars like Pedri, Pau Cubarsi, and Lamine Yamal who are all very much among the best in the world at their respective positions. But buried on the bench, Barcelona also have a number of young talents chomping at the bit, worried that they may never truly get their chance to stand out as top players in their league because of the sheer amount of quality in the side. According to a report from Relevo's Miguel Rico, Barcelona want to make investm...

Bayern Munich are backing out of the race for their ideal LW transfer

With Serge Gnabry and Kingley Coman in the down phase of their solid Bundesliga and Champions League careers, Bayern Munich are in need of a new left winger in the summer 2025 transfer window. Last summer, Bayern signed one of the best up-and-coming right wingers in the game in Michael Olise, and his addition has paid immediate dividends for Die Roten. But Bayern need an explosive, chance-creating partner on the opposite wing - someone who can bring more dynamism and one-on-one ability than what Coman and Gnabry can currently offer, which is admittedly very little. However, Bayern Munich are reportedly backing out of the race to sign Athletic Club star Nico Williams, who was previously said to be the dream signing of Bayern sporting director Max Eberl. Williams is having anothe...

Chelsea are making a push to steal away the top CB Barcelona beat them to

Chelsea have been trying to assemble a quality back line, and they've invested a lot in promising young center backs around European football over the last few years. Most of those signings haven't worked out. Aside from Levi Colwill, Chelsea haven't found a true building block at the center back position. Wesley Fofana is injured too frequently to rely on, Benoit Badiashile has been highly inconsistent, and Axel Disasi is currently loaned out to Aston Villa after failing to seal a spot. Originally, the center back Chelsea wanted more than anyone else was Jules Kounde back in 2022, but despite the Blues' best efforts, they lost out on the world-class LaLiga youngster at Sevilla to one of the country's two biggest clubs, Barcelona, for just 50 million euros (10 million less than his m...

Liverpool close to signing the flashiest Trent Alexander-Arnold replacement

Liverpool are resigned to the fact that star right back Trent Alexander-Arnold will leave for free in the summer 2025 transfer window to Real Madrid, so they are already lining up alternatives for the 26-year-old homegrown talent. The most frequently linked name is Bayer Leverkusen star Jeremie Frimpong, who has established himself as one of the most exciting players on the right flank over the last couple of years, including winning the Bundesliga title last season. According to a report from the Daily Record, via LFCVine, Frimpong is "on the verge" of joining Liverpool this season to replace Alexander-Arnold as the new right back. Frimpong is a very attacking-minded player, even moreso than Alexander-Arnold. The Dutch international is capable of scoring goals and assists like a ...

Manchester United showing serious interest in £67M Arsenal striker target

Manchester United need to sign a striker in the summer 2025 transfer window, as Rasmus Hojlund and Joshua Zirkzee have failed to provide enough goal-scoring threat up top together. Both Zirkzee and Hojlund had great success in Serie A as up-and-coming talent at smaller clubs, but neither player is a proven goal-scorer and both have struggled at times in the 2024/25 season. Although Manchester United manager Ruben Amorim's former Sporting CP star striker Viktor Gyokeres is still widely seen as the favorite to join the Red Devils this summer, the club are looking for alternatives. According to a report from Sky Sports Germany, via mufcmpb, Manchester United are "seriously" interested in Eintracht Frankfurt breakout star striker Hugo Ekitke, former of Reims and PSG. Ekitike is wan...

Aston Villa in the lead to sign Chelsea forward this summer transfer window

After letting Moussa Diaby go to Saudi Arabia in the summer 2024 transfer window for a big profit, Aston Villa have a need on the right wing that still hasn't technically been filled in the long-term by PSG loanee Marco Asensio. Given Asensio's goal-scoring abilities and sweet left foot, he could be part of a solution on the right wing, but Aston Villa would need an out-and-out winger to pair with him. According to a report from GiveMeSport's Dean Jones and Danny Rust, Aston Villa have set their eyes on Chelsea right winger Noni Madueke, and they are actually leading the transfer battle to sign the talented 23-year-old. Although Madueke can be a good player, he is a mercurial one. Madueke has similarities with Diaby due to his streakiness, explosiveness, and desire to score goals,...
