Bayern Munich have reportedly made contact about a move for Juventus striker Dušan Vlahović.

Separately, João Palhinha is reportedly willing to take a pay cut to return to Sporting CP, driven by Sporting’s leadership and coach Rui Borges, emotional ties, and a desire to be closer to family in Portugal.
