Bayern Munich boss denies Nicolas Jackson links: “Our squad is set.”

Nicolas Jackson Bayern Munich board-member-for-sport Max Eberl was quick to deny rumors linking the German record champions with Chelsea striker Nicolas Jackson. Eberl spoke to reporters both before kickoff and after the full-time whistle in a pre-season friendly against Tottenham at the Allianz Arena. Bayern achieved a 4-0 victory over Spurs, with young prospects Jonah Kusi-Asare and the highly touted Lennart Karl both scoring goals. Prior to kickoff, Eberl spoke of the importance of giving youngsters from the FCB developmental campus a chance this season. “We are very, very satisfied thus far,” Eberl – as quoted by transfermarkt.de – “We have signed three players [in Jonathan Tah, Luis Diaz, and Tom Bischof] we really wanted. We are going through a difficult period due to long-term i...

Joshua Kimmich breaks down Bayern Munich’s 2-1 win over Olympique Lyon

Joshua Kimmich Bayern Munich prevailed 2-1 over French side Olympique Lyon in its preseason opener on Saturday in a game that saw a lot of new faces feature for the Bavarians. It was a bright start, and captain Joshua Kimmich promised that there’s more to come.“We had chances, especially in the second half. We could have scored another goal or two. You could tell we weren’t starting from scratch, but that there was a certain balance,” Kimmich offered in his analysis of the match (as captured by @iMiaSanMia). Like his coaches and teammates, Kimmich also weighed in on Bayern’s biggest arrival of the summer — former Liverpool FC winger Luis Díaz. And he had simply this to say: “Luis Díaz is someone who loves football and always has a smile on his face.” Sounds like a perfect f...

New Bayern Munich winger Luis Diaz takes part in first training

Luis Diaz On the day that his signing at Bayern Munich was officially announced, former Liverpool FC winger Luis Diaz immediately hit the training pitch for his first session with his new team. Díaz is expected to rejuvenate the attack and looks to be headed toward a starting role at left-wing where he will team with Harry Kane, Michael Olise, and eventually Jamal Musiala. The Bavarians finalized the much-anticipated signing of Luis Díaz from Liverpool FC to give the team a new look at left-wing? Will the 28-year-old get an early starting nod or will Vincent Kompany hold him out a bit longer? That will be just one of the key decisions made for the match against Olympique Lyon at the Allianz Arena. Click read more

Bayern Munich’s interest in Malick Fofana was never serious

Malick Fofana After several twists and turns in the tale, rejected bids, and a slew of varying rumors over the course of the past couple of weeks, it finally looks like Bayern Munich is 100% going to be signing Luis Diaz from Liverpool. The deal is going to be worth around 75 to 80 million euros, which Liverpool is presumably going to use to invest into a potential transfer for Newcastle United striker Alexander Isak, who recently told Newcastle he wants to explore other options this summer away from Tyneside. All things considered, Diaz was technically a backup option to Florian Wirtz, but Bayern also had contingency plans lined up in the event that a move for the Colombian winger also fell through. Chelsea’s Christopher Nkunku, RB Leipzig’s Xavi Simons, and Lyon’s Malick Fofana were a...
