Bayern could be eyeing Tresoldi (Tz’s Philipp Kessler and Mano Bonke)
Bayern Munich could still be a contender for Club Brugge striker Nicolò Tresoldi, even though it just inked Harry Kane to a contract extension through 2029:
Bayern Munich only last week extended the contract of World Player of the Year Harry Kane (33) until 2029. But behind the scenes, the German record champions are apparently already keeping an eye out for a second weapon in the center forward position. As Absolut Bayern has learned, Nicolo Tresoldi of Club Brugge is on the Munich club’s shortlist.
Per reports, under the leadership of their now-relieved scouting chief Nils Schmadtke, Bayern Munich had already sent talent scouts to Belgium several times to take a closer look at Tresoldi. According to Absolut Bayern, the matter was discussed in the Munich boardroom a few weeks ago.
Besides Bayern Munich, Tresoldi has also been linked with Barcelona and top English clubs in the past. A transfer fee of between €40 and €50 million is being discussed. His contract with Club Brugge runs until 2029.
While this is interesting news for Bayern Munich, it could mean even more to the German national team, which is battling both Italy and Argentina to secure the services of the striker. If there is a way to get Tresoldi in the lineup with Kane occasionally, this might be a situation that could work. Right now, the only real backup to Kane is Ismael Saibari, who is out injured at the moment.
There are obvious obstacles to a deal like this getting done, though. First, Tresoldi’s current deal runs through 2029. Second, there will be other suitors with clearer pathways to playing time. Third, it might take a lot to convince Tresoldi to go to a place where Kane is entrenched as the starter.
Even with all of that, it is something to file away in the back of your mind to ponder at a later date.

Nusa could cost €70 million to €90 million (Sky Germany’s Philipp Hinze)
If Bayern Munich — or anyone else — wants RB Leipzig and Norway attacker Antonio Nusa, he will not come cheap:
🔴 There is no release clause in Antonio Nusa’s contract. The transfer fee for the Norwegian international is negotiable. A move in the winter transfer window is very unlikely. Leipzig would only consider selling for astronomical sums.
Things could become interesting after that. He is a potential transfer target for summer 2027. The final price will depend on how the rest of the season unfolds. Leipzig are hoping to receive somewhere in the region of €70m to €90m.

Pochettino open to United gig (BBC Sport)
USMNT head coach Mauricio Pochettino could fancy a move to Manchester United:
Mauricio Pochettino would be open to a move to Manchester United, multiple sources have told BBC Sport.
Pochettino signed an extension to his contract as USA coach in August.
However, the deal is thought to contain clauses that would allow him to leave for specific high-profile jobs.
BBC Sport reported in October that United had sounded out Eddie Howe and Julian Nagelsmann over replacing Michael Carrick, who the club look increasingly likely to sack.
Antonio Conte is also known to be keen on the role.
Honestly, Pochettino would make a lot of sense and could double his pay. Sure, he would be diving headfirst into a dumpster fire, but YOLO.
