Marcus Thuram has been linked with the move away from Borussia Monchengladbach at the end of the season.The player has been linked with a number of Premier League clubs including Chelsea and Arsenal.According to a report from Fichajes, Manchester United have now entered the race to sign the striker.

Liverpool reportedly look to have been handed a boost in their rumoured transfer pursuit of Borussia Monchengladbach midfielder Kouadio Kone.The Reds have been one of Kone's admirers, according to the Liverpool Echo, who now cite Sport Bild as stating that his asking price has dropped from 45m to more like 30m.

Granit Xhaka will consider his Arsenal future this summer after backing away from contract talks, 90min understands.The Switzerland international's current deal at the Emirates Stadium expires in 2024 and there remains an option to extend it by a further year.Negotiations over a fresh contract began earlier this year following his remarkable run of good form.

Bundesliga leaders Bayern Munich took the lead but had to settle for a 1-1 draw at RB Leipzig on Friday following a toothless second half, as the league resumed after a two-month break.Eric Maxim Choupo-Moting put the visitors in front in the 38th minute following a strong first half but Leipzig levelled with Marcel Halstenberg seven minutes after the restart.

Arsenal will surely be frustrated about the domestic season stopping for the World Cup, especially with their sparkling form this season.Mikel Arteta's men have won 12 of their 14 matches, scoring 33 goals in the process, and currently lead reigning champions Manchester City by five points, with many of the Arsenal faithful now hoping for a first Premier League title since 2004.

Eric Maxim Choupo-Moting has missed Bayern Munich's last two Bundesliga matches against FC Augsburg and Bayer Leverkusen due to a back injury.Those two matches came just after the second leg in the Champions League round of 16 win over Paris Saint-Germain at the Allianz Arena, a match in which Choupo-Moting scored the first of two goals for Bayern.

Borussia Monchengladbach may be a bogey team for Bayern Munich but frankly this is getting a little bit ridiculous.This is now the fifth consecutive game between these two sides that's ended without a positive result for the Bavarians, a run stretching back to when Julian Nagelsmann first took over in 2021.

Bayern Munich beat relegation-threatened Stuttgart 2-1 on Saturday to reclaim Bundesliga top spot from Borussia Dortmund on goal difference.In-form Dortmund defeated RB Leipzig 2-1 on Friday to reach the summit, but Bayern responded well at Mercedes-Benz Arena as they made it four wins in five league outings.

Man United are still interested in Bayern Munich's Yann Sommer.This week has been filled with Manchester United goalkeeper links.The Old Trafford side watched David de Gea make a colossal blunder during the tough loss against West Ham, so it was predictable.Dean Henderson has a chance to become the new first-choice this summer, while several goalies have been linked with a United transfer.

Man United are monitoring Marcus Thuram, ahead of the striker becoming a free agent.Manchester United still has a rather big hole in the final third, with Cristiano Ronaldo no longer a Red Devil.With the Glazer family trying to sell, the situation has become infinitely more complicated.The club don't want to spend big money in this transfer window as a result, meaning it's likely a hole that'll remain in the squad until the summer.

Man United are trying to convince Borussia Monchengladbach to sell them Yann Sommer on the cheap this month.Somewhat expectedly, Newcastle United made the decision to recall Martin Dubravka back from his loan at Manchester United.The experienced goalkeeper had barely played for Erik ten Hag, so this felt somewhat inevitable.

Man United are working on a deal to sign Yann Sommer on a free transfer.Not too long ago, we covered a claim which stated Manchester United wanted Yann Sommer to come in and replace David de Gea.Erik ten Hag has a certain way of playing and perhaps the man from Switzerland falls in line with that style more than the Spaniard.

RB Leipzig and Croatia centre-back Josko Gvardiol, 21, says he "wants to play in the Premier League" and was close to joining Leeds United in 2020 while he could have signed for Chelsea last summer.Chelsea owner Todd Boehly has no intention of sacking manager Graham Potter despite the Blues' 1-0 defeat by Southampton on Saturday.

Spain forward Ansu Fati, 20, has been linked with Manchester United but says he has a contract with Barcelona until 2027 and hopes to stay with the La Liga club for "many more years".Rafael Benitez is interested in replacing Moyes as West Ham boss.The father of Liverpool's 18-year-old Spanish midfielder Stefan Bajcetic says the Reds were not going to sign his son from the Celta Vigo academy until they learned that rivals Manchester United had stepped up their interest.

Chelsea target Marcus Thuram celebrates a goal for Borussia Monchengladbach (Image credit: Getty) Chelsea have identified Marcus Thuram and Noni Madueke as two leading transfer targets, according to reports.Thuram is out of contract at Borussia Monchengladbach at the end of the campaign and looks set to seek pastures new at some point this year.

Chelsea are reportedly very keen on the potential transfer of Borussia Monchengladbach forward Marcus Thuram.The France international has impressed in the Bundesliga for a while now, and was also part of the Les Bleus squad that made it to the 2022 World Cup final.According to Si & Dan Talk Chelsea, the Blues are now making Thuram one of their targets in attack as they consider a number of options to improve their current squad members in that area of the pitch.

Sadio Mane will return to Bayern Munich training on Sunday having missed three months with a fibula injury, but fellow forward Kingsley Coman will miss Saturday's trip to Borussia Monchengladbach.Mane missed Senegal's run to the last 16 of the World Cup in Qatar after being required to undergo surgery in November.

From Bayern Munich's last three matches across all competitions, Leroy Sane has only started once, which was the 1-0 win over Pairs Saint-Germain in the first leg of the Champions League round of 16.In that clash, he started and played all 90 minutes of the vital win at the Parc des Princes, but he was used as a substitute off of the bench in Bayern's Bundesliga matches over both Borussia Monchengladbach and Union Berlin (3-2 loss, 3-0 win, respectively).

Jamal Musiala scored his 10th goal of the season as ruthless Bayern Munich thrashed Mainz 6-2 in a pulsating Bundesliga contest to go top of the table.It had been 57 days since Julian Nagelsmann's side were last at the summit, but they moved above Union Berlin with a sixth consecutive win on Saturday.

We're back in action in the Bundesliga but some people will wish we weren't.Bayern Munich have a terrible record against Borussia Monchengladbach (shortened to Gladbach for SEO purposes because Google hates the full name) and the acquisition of Yann Sommer has only shifted the needle marginally in the Bavarians favor.

Initial reactions and observations


With this loss, Union Berlin seem poised to overtake Bayern Munich in the table this week.Makes next weekend's clash an absolute nail-biter, the Bundesliga could be on the line.Strange stat: Bayern Munich have not won vs Gladbach since Hansi Flick was in charge, a 6-0 win at the Allianz Arena in May 2021.

Bayern Munich had Dayot Upamecano sent off in a 3-2 defeat at Borussia Monchengladbach that dealt a fresh blow to their hopes of winning an 11th consecutive Bundesliga title.The French defender received his marching orders in the eighth minute for a messy challenge, and goals from Lars Stindl, Jonas Hofmann and Marcus Thuram lifted Gladbach to a deserved win.

Julian Nagelsmann was left furious by Dayot Upamecano's red card as Bayern Munich suffered a 3-2 Bundesliga defeat at Borussia Monchengladbach.Upamecano was sent off in the eighth minute after being adjudged to have brought down Alassane Plea, who got goal-side of the centre-back after a hopeful long ball.

At Bayern Munich, there will always be something to debate (hopefully civilly at BFW).During Bayern Munich's 3-2 loss at the hands of Borussia Monchengladbach, Dayot Upamecano got called for a questionable red card in the 8th minute that altered the entire trajectory of the match.Was it soft?Yeah.Did Alassane Pléa embellish a bit?

Dayot Upamecano's red card in the eighth minute of Bayern Munich 's 3-2 loss at Borussia Monchengladbach was the real turning point in the match and a point of a high controversy.He was ruled to have brought down Gladbach's Alassane Pléa as Bayern's last man back in retreat, but replays seemed to suggest that there was very minimal contact from Upamecano on his French compatriot.

The past week has been a bit of an emotional roller coaster for Bayern Munich.They beat Paris Saint-Germain 1-0 in the first leg of the Champions League round of 16 with a brilliant performance in Paris, but were knocked back a peg in the Bundesliga by virtue of a 3-2 loss at Borussia Monchengladbach, they're domestic bogey team.

Julian Nagelsmann is ready to keep Bayern Munich 's slip-up to Borussia Monchengladbach last weekend in the past along with the retrospective fine from the DFB for the comments he made post-match, calling the officiating crew from the encounter a "soft bunch" and "whimps."The Dayot Upamecano straight red card for his perceived foul on Alassane Plea in the 8th minute of play was the main point of controversy from the encounter, but Bayern was still able to conjure up two goals playing down a man, so there were still, in a way, some positives to take away.

Bayern Munich reclaimed the top spot in the Bundesliga table with their impressive 3-0 win over Union Berlin after Borussia Dortmund had provisionally gone top earlier in the weekend by virtue of their 1-0 win over TSG Hoffenheim.Goals from Eric Maxim Choupo-Moting, Kingsley Coman and Jamal Musiala, all in the first half, did the damage for Bayern in what was well and truly a deserved three points in front of a snowy Allianz Arena.

It wasn't quite as prolonged as and dramatic as when Bayern Munich finally signed Leroy Sane from Manchester City, but the back-and-forth Bayern went through with Borussia Monchengladbach to land goalkeeper Yann Sommer this past winter packed its own dose of drama.The transfer narrative seemed to shift gears multiple times per week, but in the end, Bayern was able to bring in the man they wanted to act as Manuel Neuer's replacement for the remainder of the season.

In a stroke of news that seemed to have come out of thin air, Bayern Munich announced earlier this week that they had sacked goalkeeping coach Toni Tapalovic with immediate effect.Since then, Tom Starke has returned to the club to assume the role vacated by Tapalovic, as he's long been involved with different coaching capacities with the club since his playing days have ended.

Ousmane Dembele fired Barcelona into the last four of the Copa del Rey with a hard-fought win over 10-man Real Sociedad.Dembele broke the deadlock at the Nou Camp with a powerful near-post effort after 52 minutes.Brais Mendez had seen red for Sociedad at the end of the first half following a VAR check for catching Sergio Busquets high on the ankle.

The second half of the Bundesliga season is just about set to get kicked off with Bayern Munich 's trip to take on RB Leipzig at the RedBull Arena.Bayern is currently top of the Bundesliga table with 34 points, four ahead of second-placed SC Freiburg and six ahead of third-place Leipzig.Either Bayern or Leipzig winning their clash could provide decent title implications, and even a draw would give both Freiburg and Leipzig the chance to continue to close the gap on Bayern.

Bayern Munich have signed Switzerland goalkeeper Yann Sommer from Borussia Monchengladbach to replace injured Manuel Neuer, the German champions said on Thursday.The 34-year-old signed a contract to 2025 ending a weeks-long frantic search by Bayern for a goalkeeper following Neuer's injury.- Stream on ESPN+: LaLiga, Bundesliga, more (U.S.) "Yann Sommer is a valuable reinforcement because he is internationally very experienced and knows the Bundesliga as well for many years," club CEO Oliver Kahn said.

Bayern Munich have been active in the transfer market: signing ex-Ajax player Daley Blind until the end of the season, almost getting the Konrad Laimer deal over the line, and a back and forth with Borussia Monchengladbach for goalkeeper Yann Sommer.Are they going to stop there?Julian Nagelsmann doesn't think so.

Bayern Munich ruled out rushing through a deal for a new goalkeeper as Yann Sommer emerged as a prime target to replace the injured Manuel Neuer.The 34-year-old Sommer has a contract with Borussia Monchengladbach that runs to the end of this season.Bayern are weighing up a bid before the January transfer window closes, but they are away in Doha at a training camp for now, so nothing appears imminent.

Martin Dubravka has been recalled by Newcastle United from his season-long loan at Manchester United, the clubs announced on Sunday.The goalkeeper made two appearances after moving to Old Trafford in the summer but will now return to St James' Park.- Stream on ESPN+: LaLiga, Bundesliga, more (U.S.) United paid £2 million to loan Dubravka ahead of the season and had an option to sign him permanently for £6m if the Slovakia international made a certain number of appearances.

Borussia Monchengladbach and Switzerland goalkeeper Yann Sommer has been the name leading the race to become Manuel Neuer's replacement at Bayern Munich, and it now looks increasingly likely that the 34-year-old will soon become a Bayern player.Sommer fits the billing perfectly with his experience and falling under the preference that Bayern's front office has of Neuer's replacement being a German speaker.

United are also working on a deal to sign Borussia Monchengladbach and Switzerland goalkeeper Yann Sommer, 33, on a free transfer next summer.AC Milan will give Portugal forward Rafael Leao, 23, an ultimatum in January - sign a new contract or leave.Having already scored three goals at the World Cup, England's Rashford says nothing beats scoring for his country.

Manchester United may consider tearing up Portugal forward Cristiano Ronaldo's contract following his tell-all interview with Piers Morgan but will wait until they have heard the full interview before making a decision on the 37-year-old's future.( )
Ronaldo could go to Chelsea after the forward was linked with a move to Stamford Bridge in the summer but it was reportedly blocked by then-manager Thomas Tuchel.

Manuel Neuer and Thomas Muller - pillars of the Germany national team over the last decade - are battling to prove their fitness with barely three weeks remaining until the World Cup begins.Bayern Munich boss Julian Nagelsmann confirmed in a press conference on Friday that neither player will be fit enough to feature in Saturday's Bundesliga game against Mainz.

After the break for the UEFA Nations League matches an international friendlies, Bayern faces Bayer Leverkusen, Borussia Dortmund, and SC Freiburg, with two Champions League ties against Viktoria Plzen in between two of those matches.Bayern Munich faces an absolutely crucial stretch of matches upon the conclusion of the international break where they are in desperate need of collecting points to help claw their way up from the fifth spot in the Bundesliga table.For Julian Nagelsmann's sake, despite Bayern's front office coming out and fully backing him under a heightened spell of scrutiny for recent results, hopefully Bayern can take at least seven to nine points from the trio of matches when they first get back.
