Milan wanted Min-jae (Matteo Moretto via @iMiaSanMia)
AC Milan attempted to explore a move for Bayern Munich center-back Kim Min-jae, but was soundly shot down by the Bavarians:
Milan sporting director Igli Tare is a big fan of Kim Min-jae. Milan have made contact over the defender, but Bayern’s response was: ‘No. Kim is not for sale.’
In reality, Bayern Munich might have wanted to sell Min-jae at some point this summer, but the Bavarians can ill-afford to lose him now.
Heynckes doesn’t have same fire for football (Kicker via @iMiaSanMia)
Bayern Munich legend Jupp Heynckes has hit the point in his life where football just
does not hit the same for him.
“My interest in football has waned. I still follow Bayern, Mönchengladbach, Bilbao, Real, Barcelona and Spanish football in general, as well as top games in England and France. I’m selective. Interests – including those within the family – have generally shifted. I watch the big games, but sometimes I’d rather go to the gym than watch the Bundesliga,” Heynckes said. “There’s a glut of games, and consumers are overwhelmed. But that’s the only way the business works: The players earn exorbitant amounts of money, and the clubs have to generate the money. Football is just a commercial thing. TV dictates the unfriendly kick-off times.”
Bavarian Podcast Works — Edges and Underdogs, a BuLi Action Show: Match Day 2 (Bavarian Football Works)
Welcome to Bavarian Podcast Works — Edges and Underdogs, a BuLi Action Show!
This is not your run-of-the-mill gambling show as we are putting more focus on the ins-and-outs of the actual match day’s showdowns, rather than an odds-driven format (but yes, you will get the odds as well). This podcast is for people who watch the Bundesliga intently and who want to dive into some of the big games for each match day. Through that, we will also provide some information that could help those seeking to make a wager or two.
Each week, we will highlight three matches to talk through and break down who has the edge, who might be hurting, who is susceptible to being upset, who’s getting hot, and more! This is what we have on tap for this edition of the Bavarian Podcast Works — Edges and Underdogs, a BuLi Action Show:
- A look back a tough Match Day 1, where red cards ran amok and upsets were on the menu.
- Predictions for this weekend’s matches. Where is the value? Who is going to stay hot? Are there upsets on the board this week?
LFC not getting Rodrygo (Sky Germany’s Florian Plettenberg)
Liverpool was taking a look at Real Madrid attacker Rodrygo, but the deal will not happen:
🚨🔴 It is currently very unlikely that a transfer for #Rodrygo to Liverpool will happen before the Deadline Day. #LFC
There is a good chance that he will stay at Real Madrid if nothing extraordinary happens now.
Müller talks admiration for fans (Säbener51 via @iMiaSanMia)
One aspect of football that Thomas Müller that has always been the fans.
“The fans are part of the fascination of football. We’ve shared many moments together, tough defeats and great victories, which we’ve all felt. You might think that football, with its 90 minutes of play and sometimes just one goal or no goal at all, would be the Valium of the modern age. But that’s not the case. The game, the rivalry between the teams, the different cultures – it still grips us all,” Müller said.

Beier to Villa? (Sky Germany’s Patrick Berger)
This kid should have never left Hoffenheim.
At one point, Maximilian Beier was thought of as potentially being Germany’s next striker. Now…not so much.
With his growth stunted at Borussia Dortmund, Beier could be moving on:
🚨🟣 EXCL. Aston Villa are very interested in Maximilian Beier (22/🇩🇪). Villa have opened talks with the striker’s camp and are preparing an opening bid worth around £30m. #BVB is informed about it. But Villa will need to sell first due to FFP restrictions.
