Amid Real interest, Bayern will look to wrap up Olise this summer (TEAMtalk)
Yet another report indicates that Real Madrid and Liverpool will both attempt to get Bayern Munich attacker Michael Olise this summer.
However, the true nugget in this report is that Bayern Munich will seek to give Olise a contract extension this summer:
Real Madrid are looking to hijack a proposed Liverpool summer deal for Michael Olise from Bayern Munich, with two reports outlining firm interest from Los Blancos. Aware of the growing interest in the former Crystal Palace man, Vincent Kompany’s side
plan to give Olise a lucrative new contract, although other elite clubs have also made him a target.
At 24-years-old, Olise has a contract that already runs through 2029. Per Capology, Olise currently makes €13,510,000 as a base salary and €3,380,000 as a bonus for a total figure of €16,890,000. How much of a raise would Olise get? That is the big question.
It can be safely assumed that it will cost Bayern Munich a premium to extend Olise another two years through 2031. So…maybe a total financial package of €22,000,000? Would that get it done? We might find out soon.
Chelsea, Spurs are in on Asllani (ESPN)
Chelsea and Tottenham Hotspur are both reportedly eyeing Hoffenheim’s Fisnik Asllani. The 23-year-old striker has also been linked to Bayern Munich:
Chelsea and Tottenham Hotspur are interested in Hoffenheim striker Fisnik Asllani, per Bild. Both sides are believed to be planning to reinforce their forward lines this summer, and they see the 23-year-old as a strong fit for the Premier League, but they could face competition for his signature from Bayern Munich. Asllani has enjoyed a bright campaign in the Bundesliga this season with eight goals and five assists in 25 appearances, with form that has previously seen him linked with Barcelona.

Fulham to make big push for Pepi (ESPN)
Fulham is looking to bring in PSV Eindhoven striker Ricardo Pepi:
Fulham are expected to “accelerate” their efforts to sign PSV and USMNT forward Ricardo Pepi, according to Fabrizio Romano. Pepi suffered a broken forearm while in action for PSV in mid-January but made a scoring return to action this weekend and is keen to move to the Premier League for next season. Fulham were close to agreeing to a fee in the region of €37 million ($43.9 million) in the January transfer window, but the deal was contingent on PSV finding a replacement, which they could not do.
It seems like that Jonah Kusi-Asare loan will not be made permanent, eh?
Liverpool eyeing Huijsen (SportsBoom’s Ekrem Konur)
Liverpool might be seeking to pry Dean Huijsen away from Real Madrid:
🚨🆕 #RealMadrid 🇳🇱
Liverpool want Real Madrid’s Dutch CB Dean Huijsen.🔙 Premier League → played at Bournemouth before.
🚫 Real Madrid → not keen to sell.
👔 Liverpool SD Richard Hughes knows him from Bournemouth.
🎯 Reds pushing for England return.
There is virtually no shot that Huijsen would already be thinking of a move…Liverpool can dream, though, right?
Mamardashvili might want out of LFC (TEAMtalk)
Giorgi Mamardashvili was once linked to Bayern Munich, but now he might be seeking a chance to leave Liverpool:
One of Liverpool’s big summer signings is now ‘seriously considering’ requesting a loan exit after growing increasingly frustrated with the role he’s been given, we can exclusively reveal.
Liverpool forked out close to half a billion pounds on new recruits last summer, and it’s fair to say the early results are mixed.
All bar one of the new names have got their fair share of playing time unless injured, with £29.9m (€35m) goalkeeper, Giorgi Mamardashvili, the exception.
And TEAMtalk understands that the giant Georgian is growing increasingly frustrated with life as understudy to Alisson Becker at Liverpool.
Despite his reputation as one of Europe’s most promising young goalkeepers, Mamardashvili has found opportunities limited at Anfield, with Alisson once again proving himself as one of the world’s best this season and playing a crucial role in getting Liverpool’s campaign back on track.
What’s more, the cup competitions haven’t proven an avenue to game-time for Mamardashvili. Liverpool exited the League Cup in the fourth round, and against Brighton in the FA Cup a fortnight ago, Slot somewhat surprisingly selected Alisson.
