Daily Schmankerl: Manchester United wants Bayern Munich's Alphonso Davies and Leroy Sane, but not Leon Goretzka; Jamie Leweling's release clause causing angst?; FC Barcelona's Raphinha a hot commodity; and MORE!

"Manchester United are reportedly interested in FC Bayern Munich's star players Alphonso Davies and Leroy Sané. Both players’ contracts expire in 2025, making them appealing targets as they could negotiate freely starting January 2025."

"Despite his uncertain future at Bayern, Leon Goretzka is off United’s radar. He has expressed a desire to stay at Bayern until at least the winter despite speculation around his transfer status."

"Bayern's prospect of losing both Davies and Sané could prove costly. If negotiations lead to no contract extensions, they might leave on free transfers by January 2025, which Bayern will be eager to avoid."

"Players’ salaries could be a stumbling block for any move. Sané earns around €20 million, Goretzka about €18 million, and Davies has demands around €16 million, which can complicate transfer negotiations."
