Per Media Foot, City’s decision-makers have “entered the fray” by contact Bayern Munich and Olise’s representatives.

Despite reports, Bayern Munich is not going to chase Manchester United attacker Marcus Rashford this summer:
Regarding Bayern/Rashford, there’s currently nothing to this story. No negotiations, no offer, nothing. And Rashford wouldn’t exactly be a ‘cheap’ option, as he earns a massive salary and wants a big signing fee. Bayern’s full focus is on closing the Saibari and Brown deals. There are no plans beyond that regarding incomings for the time being.
Old coach wants Kim back (Sport Bild’s Christian Falk)
Juventus manager Luciano Spalletti and Bayer Munich defender Kim Min-jae have a relationship that dates back to their time together at Napoli. Now, the coach could be looking at a reunion:
✅ It is TRUE: Luciano Spalletti would like to be reunited with Min-jae Kim at Juventus. The interest is confirmed. It’s not like there are really hot negotiations at the moment, but this could really happen. This would be ideal for Bayern Munich, as it would ensure they get the most amount of money – certainly more than they’d potentially receive for Hiroki Ito. So, if they could sell Kim, they’d likely have a good amount of money to put toward a really good new player, like, for example, Vušković.
