Bayern still watching Rashford situation (CaughtOffside)
Bayern Munich has many irons in the fire at the moment and one of them could still be Manchester United attacker Marcus Rashford:
Manchester United forward Marcus Rashford has been discussed as a target for Bayern Munich as they add him to their list of attacking targets for this summer.
Multiple well-connected sources have confirmed to CaughtOffside that Rashford is on Bayern’s list after they previously missed out on the likes of Liverpool’s Luis Diaz and Athletic Bilbao’s Nico Williams.
One source
ADwith a close understanding of the situation told CaughtOffside that “Bayern Munich (are) now seen as one of the most serious contenders” for Rashford.
Man Utd are expected to ask for around £40m to let the England international go, with Barcelona also previously keen on him, but with the deal now looking unaffordable for them.
Of all the names on Bayern Munich’s list, this one feel like the biggest long and least serious. (Shrug emoji)

Chelsea thinking of player swap for Min-jae? (CaughtOffside)
SWAP DEAL ALERT!
You know we love us a good swap deal around these parts...Chelsea FC is reportedly a very big fan of Bayern Munich center-back Kim Min-jae and could look to send back defender Renato Veiga to Bavaria in return:
According to a report from Italian publication TMW, Chelsea could offer Renato Veiga in a deal to sign the 28-year-old. The South Korean could prove to be a very useful acquisition for Chelsea as they look to tighten up at the back ahead of the upcoming season.
They were quite vulnerable defensively last season, and they need to improve in that area of the pitch. Improving defensively will help them for major trophies next season.
There is no doubt that they have a quality squad, and they have recently won the Conference League and the Club World Cup. They will look to push for major trophies now. The South Korean could help them improve defensively.
Zero shot this happens...
Inter wants Donnarumma (Foot Mercato)
Inter Milan would like Paris Saint-Germain goalkeeper Gianluigi Donnarumma, but the player’s agent tried to downplay the interest:
When questioned by journalists, the agent of Parisian goalkeeper Gianluigi Donnarumma, Vincenzo Raiola, was quick to dismiss the rumors concerning Donnarumma. “Donnarumma? Inter already has a goalkeeper, for the moment everything is calm ,” he assured in comments reported by Calciomercato . But we have absolutely not spoken about Gigio, it is not a subject today. There has never been any discussion with Inter, I have already said it several times. To this day, we are seeing other things regarding the youth teams, we are talking about how to organize the U23s and some players in the youth teams.” He did, however, concede that the situation could change in the event of Yann Sommer’s departure from the Nerazzurri: “Ah, well, if they sell him, that’s another story . “
