Mats Hummels assessed Germany’s World Cup squad as free of major controversies, with the main uncertainty centered on whether Manuel Neuer would be included if healthy. He cited two or three 50/50 decisions involving Nadiem Amiri, Pascal Groß, and Malick Thiaw, viewing them as unlikely starters but possible contributors. He characterized the squad as good but not a top title favorite, while still capable of winning if key areas are improved. Germany’s first squad preview is scheduled for Sunday against Finland. Separately, rumors claimed FC Barcelona submitted a bid for Atlético Madrid striker Julián Álvarez, which Atlético reportedly did not receive well, rejecting a €100m valuation. Barcelona was said to be prepared to return with another offer, and a post claimed a fax was sent with a transfer offer described as concert tickets and an annual subscription.
""For me, it's a squad without any major controversies. The big question was really just whether Manuel Neuer would be part of it now. And on that front, expectations over the last one or two weeks were that he would be there-as long as he stays healthy. Then there are two or three 50/50 decisions," the 2014 World Cup winner said."
