Sané, who has rebuilt his reputation with Die Mannschaft after being omitted from the 2018 <a href="https://www.sbnation.com/fifa-world-cup">World Cup</a> roster, is now seemingly pondering whether or not he wants to extend his deal with Manchester City.Sané’s current contract ends in 2021, but there are whispers that he might be looking to exit Manchester City this summer, partly because of a lack of playing time. Milan-based, Portuguese journalist Claudia Garcia released the following tweet detailing her account of Sané’s situation:Leroy Sané non ha ancora rinnovato il suo contratto in scadenza nel 2021. I problemi con Guardiola continuano e il tedesco valuta anche la possibilità di partire a fine stagione. <a href="https://twitter.com/hashtag/Bayern?src=hash&ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">#Bayern</a> e la <a href="https://twitter.com/hashtag/Juventus?src=hash&ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">#Juventus</a> molto attente alla sua situazione. <a href="https://twitter.com/hashtag/calciomercato?src=hash&ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">#calciomercato</a> <a href="https://t.co/sGZ756hnmB">pic.twitter.com/sGZ756hnmB</a>— Claudia Garcia (@claubgarcia) <a href="https://twitter.com/claubgarcia/status/1119131634702249984?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">April 19, 2019</a>Leroy Sané has not yet renewed its contract, which expires in 2021.

For €70m, would you do it?<a href="https://www.bavarianfootballworks.com/2019/4/19/18507948/bayern-munich-and-juventus-monitoring-leroy-sane-manchester…

Report: Bayern Munich monitoring Fiorentina winger Federico Chiesa
MediaHowever, Juventus are considered the front-runners in the race.Due to the imminent departures of Arjen Robben and Franck Ribery, Bayern Munich have been linked to a lot of wingers lately. The latest suspect — Fiorentina’s Federico Chiesa. The Bavarians are said to be monitoring him, but Juventus are considered front-runners for the winger’s signature. Inter Milan are also in the race.The info comes from a tweet by La Gazzetta dello Sport journalist Nicolo Schira, who tweeted this:Gli occhi del #BayernMünchen su Federico #Chiesa: gli scout bavaresi l'hanno già visionato e promosso da tempo. In pole per l'esterno offensivo resta, però, la #Juventus, con l'#Inter sempre in vigile.

Juventus are considered in pole position for the winger, and Inter are also interested. Fiorentina wants 80m for the player.Eighty million euros seems like a steep price for a player who has the offensive output of Thorgan Hazard, although granted Chiesa is just 21 years old. However, our friends over at Black and White and Read All Over say that the report isn’t the most reliable, and we should heed their words and take it with a grain of salt.It’s become a trend in the media to link Bayern with wingers across the continent.

Journalist Nicolò Schira, who works for calciomercato and Gazzetta dello Sport noted that Bayern had been scouting Chiesa for some time, along with <a href="https://www.sbnation.com/soccer/serie-a/teams/juventus">Juventus</a>, which he considers to be in “pole position” to sign the attacker.The latest report from Corriere dello sport elaborated further on Bayern’s alleged interest:Federico Chiesa is the first wish of the director of the technical area [i.e. sporting director], Fabio Paratici. Juve has been working for some time to pry him away from Fiorentina (but the Viola hope to resist them) and to preempt very fierce competition, both Italian (Inter, <a href="https://www.sbnation.com/soccer/serie-a/teams/napoli">Napoli</a>, Roma) and foreign (Bayern Munich, Liverpool). Bayern in particular has launched a serious offensive in the past few hours, of €70 million.Bayern’s bid would fall €10m below that Schira reported to be Fiorentina’s asking price of €80m. Presuming the offer is genuine, it remains to be seen whether Bayern might raise its bid if one or more of the other teams said to be competing for Chiesa offers more.Chiesa plays predominantly as a right winger for Fiorentina. He thus would conceivably be Serge Gnabry’s battery-mate in that position at Bayern, filling the spot on the roster soon to be vacated by club legend Arjen Robben. Chiesa is in the midst of a good season for Fiorentina. Just 21 years old, he has scored 12 goals and assisted 8 others across competitions, playing just over 2,900 minutes this season. Chiesa’s overall numbers in Serie A and the Coppa Italia are interesting: he has scored half of his goals (6) and one assist in just three Coppa Italia games: 2 against FC Turin, a hat-trick in a 7-1 victory over Roma, and a goal and an assist in the 3-3 semifinal draw against <a href="https://www.sbnation.com/soccer/serie-a/teams/atalanta">Atalanta</a> Bergamo. Chiesa’s bounty from his 32 league games is somewhat less imposing in comparison: six goals and six assists in 2,646 minutes.Chiesa is nonetheless…

The center-forward is the greatest suspect among the Juventus attackers to leave the Old Lady. What is the situation? At the moment, on the Croatian’s side, there is Borussia Dortmund, who is not going to give up a shot (at Mandzukic) these days, despite the strong competition of Bayern Munich. Well, the return to Bavaria would be on the mind of Mario, who does not want to lower standards of wages and competitiveness. In short, a team within Juve’s reach. And then there’s Kovac, his compatriot and friend: Juve continues to ask for a sum just over €10 million.Admittedly, the BVB piece of this came out of nowhere as it was over a month ago when Dortmund was <a href="https://www.bavarianfootballworks.com/2019/7/12/20691982/borussia-dortmund-no-longer-in-the-picture-for-mario-mandzukic-but-bayern-munich-still-is-juventus#comments">last linked</a> to Mandzukic. Anyway, the 33-year-old reportedly just <a href="https://www.bavarianfootballworks.com/2019/8/14/20804836/bayern-munich-mario-manduzkic-rejects-transfer-sevilla-loan-ivan">turned down</a> <a href="https://www.sbnation.com/soccer/la-liga/teams/sevilla">Sevilla</a> this week, but getting Mandzukic for just over €10 million could be intriguing for Bayern. It might not necessarily be that inexpensive, however. La Gazzetta Dello Sport followed up the report above with another from one of its reporters, Nicolo Schira. Schira indicated that Bayern was again going to employ Giovanni Banchini to work on the deal. Branchini, of course, just worked on the loan of Ivan Perisic from <a href="https://www.sbnation.com/soccer/serie-a/teams/inter-milan">Inter Milan</a> to Bayern, while also having worked on other profile moves for the Bavarians such as <a href="https://www.sbnation.com/soccer/serie-a/players/143215/luca-toni">Luca Toni</a>, <a href="https://www.sbnation.com/soccer/bundesliga/players/149762/pep-guardiola">Pep Guardiola</a>, and Lucas Hernandez.

Where will this end?With the <a href="https://www.sbnation.com/soccer/bundesliga/players/187947/david-alaba">David Alaba</a> contract extension saga at a stalemate, rumors have begun circulating about the Austrian’s potential departure from <a href="https://www.bavarianfootballworks.com">Bayern Munich</a>. According to Florian Plettenberg of Sport1, there is concrete interest from <a href="https://www.blackwhitereadallover.com">Juventus</a> for the player. Having won the <a href="https://www.sbnation.com/champions-league">Champions League</a> twice in Bavaria, is Alaba considering a move abroad?Well, not so fast. Just today, sporting director Hasan Salihamidzic said that Bayern were still <a href="https://www.bavarianfootballworks.com/2020/10/12/21513160/bayern-munich-david-alaba-transfer-ultimatum-juventus-brazzo-hasan-salihamidzic-leroy-sane-nubel">trying to convince</a> the Austrian to sign a new contract with the club. Plettenberg confirms the same, but also confirms reports claiming interest from Italy:Update <a href="https://twitter.com/hashtag/Alaba?src=hash&ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">#Alaba</a>: I can’t confirm an agreement between <a href="https://twitter.com/hashtag/Juventus?src=hash&ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">#Juventus</a> & Alabas representatives (Zahavi/ Dad George). But there is definitely a high interest from <a href="https://twitter.com/hashtag/Juve?src=hash&ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">#Juve</a>. FCB officials still believe that Alaba will extend the contract. But he takes his time & there is no ultimatum. <a href="https://twitter.com/SPORT1?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@SPORT1</a> <a href="https://t.co/CJexdiTREy">https://t.co/CJexdiTREy</a>— Florian Plettenberg (@Plettigoal) <a href="https://twitter.com/Plettigoal/status/1315710219020832769?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">October 12, 2020</a>Importantly, there doesn’t seem to be an agreement between Alaba and <a href="https://www.sbnation.com/soccer/serie-a/teams/juventus">Juventus</a>, which keeps Bayern at the table.<strong>Why</strong> <strong>Juventus</strong><strong>?</strong>For months now, it’s been reported that the player only wanted to move to <a href="https://www.managingmadrid.com">Real Madrid</a> or <a href="https://www.barcablaugranes.com">FC Barcelona</a> if he left Germany, but perhaps the current situation has changed his mind. Given that Bayern are standing firm on their salary offer, and the apparent lack of interest from Spain, Alaba has been forced to broaden his horizons.In that case, Juventus wouldn’t be a bad destination. Unlike the Spanish clubs, who are well-covered in the Austrian’s preferred playing positions (left-back, center-back, and midfield), Alaba would be a key cog in Turin if he were to move there. The <em>Bianconeri</em> love experienced players, which makes Alaba, as a two-time treble winner, a nice fit. They also have ambitions of winning the Champions League in the coming seasons, which suits a player of the Austrian’s caliber — he will get to play with stars like Cristiano Ronaldo and <a href="https://www.sbnation.com/soccer/serie-a/players/164010/paulo-dybala">Paulo Dybala</a> while in the prime of his career.

Borussia Mönchengladbach v Bayern München - DFB Cup: Second RoundPhoto by Christian Verheyen/Borussia Moenchengladbach via Getty ImagesJuve are spending a lot for a (supposedly) broke club.So here’s some bad news if you’re a Bayern Munich fan. According to Fabrizio Romano, Juventus have submitted an initial bid for Borussia Monchengladbach midfielder Denis Zakaria. Having already signed Dusan Vlahovic this window, it looks like the Old Lady has embarked on a spending spree.Zakaria is, of course, one of Bayern Munich’s main targets for the upcoming summer transfer window. The Swiss midfielder is seen as a prime candidate for defensive midfield, as well as a potential replacement for the center-back spot left vacant by Niklas Sule. However, if Juve’s surprise bid goes through, then Brazzo and co. will have to look elsewhere for a quality midfield candidate.Juventus have submitted an opening proposal to sign Denis Zakaria immediately: €7m add ons included. Borussia Moenchengladbach will decide soon. ⚪️⚫️ #Juventus

Juve need at least one midfielder to leave in the next hours - Rodrigo Bentancur or Arthur Melo, as things stand. pic.twitter.com/HPnaFmNs9o— Fabrizio Romano (@FabrizioRomano) January 29, 2022Per DiMarzio, the Italians have already reached an agreement with the player and are negotiating terms with Gladbach. Despite only having two days left in the winter window, Juve still have plenty of time to close a deal. This would put Zakaria beyond the reach of Bayern, who were only ever interested in a summer transfer.Missing out on Denis Zakaria could have severe repercussions for Bayern’s future squad planning. The midfield isn’t looking too healthy at the moment — Leon Goretzka is still bogged down with a mysterious knee injury, and Corentin Tolisso still hasn’t been offered a new contract. Given that Zakaria was also envisioned as a center-back replacement for Sule, Hasan Salihamidzic and Marco Neppe will have to look further afield (and spend much more money) for quality additions to the squad.We’ll keep an eye on this news as it develops.

Empoli FC v Juventus - Serie A Photo by Daniele Badolato - Juventus FC/Juventus FC via Getty Images Bayern Munich still needs a striker. Bayern Munich officially bowed out out of the race for West Ham defensive midfielder Declan Rice on Tuesday and could now find potential pursuit of Juvenus striker Dušan Vlahović far more complicated than originally thought. According to Italian journalist Rudy Galetti, Vlahović has drawn the interest of new Chelsea FC coach Mauricio Pochettino, who could be meeting soon with Juventus to start to work out a deal: ️ #Vlahovic, talks between #Chelsea and #Juventus is about to begin, as revealed yesterday. ✅

The club - without #UCL - needs to sell and already set his price tag: around €80m to let him go.

Kolo Muani is said to be a favorite of Bayern Munich supervisory board member Uli Hoeneß and might be ready to leave Die Adler per Sky Sport journalist Florian Plettenberg: The main priority for the Bayern bosses is to find a striker now! #Rice was the hottest target for central midfield. But Bayern is out of the race for now as reported. Kolo Muani, one of the names that remains on Bayern‘s list. Instead, Frankfurt is not planning to extend his contract with a big salary increase - NOW. Frankfurt bosses will wait on further developments. His salary now: Less than €1.5m gross/year. Bayern Munich could start to feel the pressure of the summer transfer window as players start to ink deals with new teams.

As Leon Goretzka languishes on the bench, Joshua Kimmich and Thomas Tuchel continue to disagree on exactly what position Josh plays and how he plays it, and Konrad Laimer’s produces consistently average play, Gravenberch has been silent — which is odd for him after airing his grievances to the media on three separate occasions last season.All along the Dutchman has been linked to a transfer to <a href="https://liverpooloffside.sbnation.com">Liverpool FC</a>, but now — maybe — there could be some fire to accompany all of the smoke we have read about: <a href="https://liverpooloffside.sbnation.com/">Liverpool</a> are again being linked with a move for Bayern Munich midfielder Ryan Gravenberch. The Netherlands international joined the German giants from Ajax last summer and, despite winning the Bundesliga during his maiden campaign with the club, was limited to only three league starts.And now, according to journalist Graeme Bailey, the name of Gravenberch is one he is still hearing amid plenty of talk about the Reds strengthening their midfield ahead of the closure of the summer <a href="http://www.sbnation.com/transfer-rumors">transfer window</a>.He said: “I do think they need this holding midfielder in there. The one I think to keep an eye on, guys, I’ve said this all summer, I think Ryan Gravenberch from Bayern Munich. I think they might even do two, but I think Gravenberch could be one of them. He was waiting to see how the season goes with Bayern. I think he wants out. I think he knows there’s a role he can play at Liverpool, so I’d keep an eye on him, I’m still hearing his name quite a lot.”Foot Mercato journalist Santi Aouna also had his own account of the news: EXCL: <a href="https://twitter.com/hashtag/Bundesliga?src=hash&ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">#Bundesliga</a> |
