Spurs could look to Kim as worry builds over Vušković exit (Football 365)
Hamburger SV center-back Luka Vušković might not be too inclined to go back to Tottenham Hotspur and his parent club might be sweating it a bit.
With at least a little uncertainty about the young Croatian, Spurs could be keeping an eye on Bayern Munich center-back Kim Min-jae:
Tottenham Hotspur have an absolute gem on their hands in Luka Vuskovic, who is so good he could join Bayern Munich this summer without playing a competitive match for the Premier League side. There is genuine interest from Bayern Munich,
who are always looking to sign the best players from their domestic rivals, and Tottenham supporters fear they will lose their Croatian gem
With Vuskovic, Micky van de Ven and Cristian Romero all linked with moves away from Spurs, they are weighing up their options for the summer transfer window.
Real Madrid defender Antonio Rudiger has been linked, but another player on Spurs’ radar is Bayern’s Kim Min-jae, whose departure could pave the way for Vuskovic to join the German champions.
Chelsea could make a move for Min-jae after missing out on new Liverpool signing Jeremy Jacquet, though the 29-year-old is older than their usual transfer targets.
Min-jae is not a regular starter under Vincent Kompany and would be a wise sale for Bayern and a smart signing for Spurs.
As of now, the latest news indicates that Kim is content to stay at Bayern Munich even in an lesser role. However, if Tottenham can match or beat his current salary, the South Korean could reconsider that stance…maybe.
Bayern still likes Woltemade, but won’t make move this summer (Sport Bild’s Christian Falk)
Last week, some very loose reports broke regarding Bayern Munich still having interest in Newcastle United attacker Nick Woltemade after missing on the big German last summer. However, Sport Bild’s Christian Falk says that a move in the future is not out of the question, but this summer would be too early:
That said, he had a very good start to life at Newcastle, so things can change quickly if he’s getting the play time and scoring. At the moment, however, a deal isn’t guaranteed. But the door could open this summer, and Woltemade, if things don’t change, could be open for a transfer. I’m not sure if Bayern Munich will be at the table this time, but it’s always a question of price.
✅ It is TRUE: Bayern retain their admiration of Nick Woltemade. Just like any club, when you have a clear admiration for a player, it’s normal to wonder about the future. That’s the point with Woltemade and Bayern Munich. Both sides know that perhaps they’ll meet again in the future. This summer is too early. Bayern Munich won’t pay the transfer fee. I heard Newcastle, perhaps, would lower their price tag. Indeed, they’re not so happy at the moment; Woltemade isn’t playing a great deal. The manager, Eddie Howe, isn’t giving him many chances to play at the moment.
Harry Kane’s next contract could determine exactly when Bayern Munich formally renews interest in Woltemade.
Stuttgart to make move for Promel? (Sky Germany’s Florian Plettenberg)
Hoffenheim’s Grischa Promel has had a very good season and is firmly on the radar of VfB Stuttgart:
🚨EXCL | VfB Stuttgart have submitted a concrete, lucrative offer to Grischa Prömel as they want to bring him in on a free transfer in the summer.
Hoffenheim, meanwhile, are keen to extend his contract long term. #VfB see him as a top leader but will not improve their offer beyond their set financial limits. Leverkusen, Frankfurt and Wolfsburg are also interested.
Prömel is keeping his options open, with a final decision expected in March.

Milan open to Pulisic sale, but it will take a lot (CaughtOffside)
AC Milan is not against the idea of selling Christian Pulisic, but it will take €70 to €80 million to get a deal done:
AC Milan is preparing for a major squad overhaul at the end of the season, and one of the biggest talking points is the possible departure of Christian Pulisic.
The club is open to listening to offers in the €70–80 million range for the 27‑year‑old American winger, a figure that could provide Milan with both financial flexibility and balance as they reshape the team.
Wirtz turning the corner? (Who Scored)
Liverpool attacker Florian Wirtz famously (or infamously) chose to move to Merseyside over Bayern Munich last summer and got off to a pretty bad start in England. Wirtz now has six goals and eight assists in 35 games across all competitions.
In addition, Wirtz has created more chances in the Premier League this season than any other summer signing. While that might blow your socks off…it is something (we guess):
