Lennart Karl (Bayern Munich) scores and celebrates his teams second goal during the UEFA Champions league match between FC Bayern Munich and Sporting CP at Allianz arena, Munich, Germany on December 9, 2025. Bayern Munich 3-1 Sporting CP Teenager Lennart Karl scored for the third Champions League game in a row as Bayern Munich came from behind to beat Sporting. The 17-year-old became the youngest player to achieve the feat in the competition as he put the hosts in front with a thumping near-post finish midway through the second half. Sporting had gone in front nine minutes after the break through a Joshua Kimmich own goal as the midfielder slid to try and cut out Ivan Fresneda's cross at the end of a swift counter attack. Bayern levelled 10 minutes later when Serge Gnabry w...

futbol live: Bayern Munich preps for Freiburg

Bayern Munich is preparing for a Bundesliga tilt against SC Freiburg this week (preview) and hoping to return to winning ways after dropping points to Union Berlin last time out. Sandwiched between was an international break that proved to be pretty good for Germany…but it means that players are juggling more load. Thursday was the first day back in training for Bayern’s international contingent, with long-injured left-backs Alphonso Davies and Hiroki Itō joining the crew: Itō is making good progress and his return looks imminent, per a report from Kicker journalist Frank Linkesch. As captured by @iMiaSanMia: Hiroki Itō could be back in the squad against Freiburg on Saturday. Bayern gave the Japanese defender all the time he needed to make a full recovery - and within the club...

football transfer: Serie A giants keeping tab on Kim Min Jae

Both Inter and Milan are looking for defensive reinforcements as early as the January transfer window and it is believed that both clubs are keeping watch on Bayern Munich’s Kim Min Jae. Both have the required finances to make the deal and the Korean fits the bill for both as per Bild (via calciomercato.com) Kim has had a very successful Serie A spell in the past with Napoli, playing a very crucial role in the club’s Scudetto win in 2023. That season, he was the best defender in the league and Napoli who had signed him for just €19.5m. In just a season, Napoli recovered their money and some as Bayern Munich paid his release clause of over €50m next summer.At Bayern however, the 28 year old has failed to replicate his Napoli form. Under Vincent Kompany, he has never really...

soccer news:Luis Diaz admits Barca talk before joining Bayern

Luis Diaz Somehow, after German team Bayern Munich beat English team Chelsea FC 3-1 in the Champions League, some Spanish press managed to smuggle their way in and ask some questions in the post match press conference. Naturally, the Spanish reporters were interested in Luis Diaz and the rumored interest from FC Barcelona. “I’m very happy to be at this great club. There have been talks (with Barça), which is normal in the transfer market, with several teams,” Díaz acknowledged, as captured by @iMiaSanMia. “I’m very happy with my decision. I’ve made an objective decision about my future, and the most important thing is that I’m coming to a great club. So I’ll try to do my best.” On the win over Chelsea, the former Liverpool FC winger added: “I’m very happy with the win; it...

soccer teams:Guirassy expected to be fit to face Bayern

Serhou Guirassy Borussia Dortmund striker Serhou Guirassy is expected to return to training with the team on Tuesday after leaving the Guinean national team camp early. Therefore, his participation in Saturday’s Bundesliga top-of-the-table clash with Bayern Munich is not in danger. The 29-year-old, who recently missed Dortmund’s 2–0 win over Mainz due to a thigh problem, was rested for Guinea’s 2–1 victory over Mozambique on Thursday. Since Guinea can no longer qualify for next year’s World Cup, Guirassy was granted a few days off by the Guinean Football Federation. Borussia Dortmund were informed of this, a club spokesperson said on Sunday, according to DPA.

Bundesliga updates: Serge Gnabry move talk

Serge Gnabry Bayern Munich winger Serge Gnabry wears many hats for his club. Left wing, right wing. Harry Kane’s presumptive backup after Thomas Müller’s departure — and then no longer, after Nicolas Jackson’s arrival. His latest role, in the wake of Jamal Musiala’s injury, has been to inherit the central playmaking position behind the striker. It’s a fluid assignment, involving plenty of exchanges, especially with right-sided inverting winger Michael Olise, and it’s one Gnabry has taken up with aplomb. “There’s more space centrally, which has worked very well recently,” Gnabry explained in his recent Bild interview (as captured by @iMiaSanMia). “I played there as a youth player, and also with the national team. It feels like nothing new. It’s a blessing and a curse to be ...

live scores: Bayern 6-0 Leipzig

Harry Kane Harry Kane scored a second-half hat-trick in 14 minutes and Michael Olise bagged two goals as champions Bayern Munich obliterated visitors RB Leipzig 6-0 in the Bundesliga opener on Friday, putting down an early marker. England captain and man-of-the-match Kane, who was the league's top scorer in the past two seasons, opened his account in the 64th minute before bagging two more goals in the 74th and 78th to complete Bayern's impressive show of strength in the season premiere. Vincent Kompany's team, who lifted the German Supercup last week with a 2-1 win over VfB Stuttgart, looked more than ready for the league start with a high pressing game that troubled Leipzig, and some sharp finishing. 'We wanted to send a statement from the first game at home and that's what we did toda...

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...

(Photo by Ulrik Pedersen/NurPhoto via Getty Images) Bild reports that VfB Stuttgart have rejected Bayern Munich’s first bid for striker Nick Woltemade, as it was well below their valuation. Bayern’s first bid was worth €40m plus €5m in bonuses, and Stuttgart immediately rejected the bid earlier today as the offer is well below what they would accept for the 23-year-old. The price that Stuttgart have set, which they would allow Woltemade to leave, would be €80m. The Swabians are in the strongest position when it comes to negotiating with Bayern, as Woltemade still has a contract at the club until 2028, me...

Xavi Simons of RB Leipzig scores and celebrates his teams first goal during the 1. Bundesliga match between RB Leipzig and VfB Stuttgart at Red Bull arena, Leipzig, Germany on May 17, 2025. The Athletic report that Bayern Munich have enquired about signing Xavi Simons.

ATLANTA, GEORGIA - JULY 05: Sacha Boey #23 of FC Bayern Munchen runs with the ball during the FIFA Club World Cup 2025 quarter-final match between Paris Saint-Germain and FC Bayern München at Mercedes-Benz Stadium on July 05, 2025 in Atlanta, Georgia. As a top five club in the world, Bayern Munich expects the players to spend the international breaks with their respective national teams. Every now and then, the path to playing time is blocked or nonexistent. For one particular player, that might be the case. According to Sacha Tavolieri (via @iMiaSanMia), Sacha Boey could switch international allegiance to Belgium. The player was born to a Belgian mother and his entourage has contacted the Belgian federation to inform them of his availability. Boey is very open to playing for Belgium in th...

After signing Jonathan Tah on a free transfer, Bayern Munich have no immediate plans to sign a defender during the remainder of the summer transfer window. They are well covered in all positions across the back four. However, they could potentially lose one young star after the Club World Cup. Adam Aznou was drafted into the squad for the Club World Cup after his successful loan spell at Real Valladolid during the second half of the season.
