Are Bayern Munich looking for another Bundesliga midfielder?
Bayern Munich, Chelsea FC, Manchester United and Paris Saint-Germain are rumored to be considering trying their luck against Borussia Mönchengladbach midfielder Manu Koné:
PSG, Bayern, Chelsea and Manchester United are interested in Gladbach midfielder Manu Koné (21). The Frenchman has decided to leave this summer. Gladbach want around 45 million euros.
About two months ago, we saw the first rumblings of this rumor emerge. For Bayern Munich, that doesn’t make much sense given the team’s current depth in midfield – and the imminent arrival of Konrad Laimer.
However, where there is smoke, there can be fire.
Apparently, Joshua Kimmich is now doing a bit of side action:
Hopefully the deleted scenes show Kimmich being a skeevy, perverted fitness trainer and not just making smoothies.
Honestly, though, I might as well imagine Kimmich bursting into a room just as funky music hits ask the question, “Has anyone ordered pizza?”
Paris Saint-Germain could be heading for the overhaul this summer:
According to the French trade magazine The Team, there are eight stars on the PSG shopping list. In defence, alongside Inter Milan’s 28-year-old Slovak Milian Skriniar, who has already confirmed his transfer, is Spaniard Pau Torres (26, Villarreal FC).
For midfielder Ibrahim Sangaré (25) from PSV Eindhoven, Bernardo Silva (28) from Manchester City, super talent Rayan Cherki (19, Olympique Lyonnais) and Bundesliga Manu Koné (21) from Borussia Mönchengladbach should come.
In attack, Lionel Messi’s future is in the stars, which is why Napoli’s Victor Osimhen, 24, and Benfica’s Goncalo Ramos, 21, are said to be on the list.
So a lot of work for Luis Campos. And then Mbappé supposedly has to give the green light.
What a week for Bayern Munich, huh?
The Bavarians have taken care of business domestically and in Europe and might have taken the leap from being a very good team to a great team in the process.

Could Lionel Messi’s two-year stint at Paris Saint-Germain be enough?
Maybe.
The Argentine star may be returning to FC Barcelona:
Barcelona president Joan Laporta has had a meeting with Lionel Messi’s father, with La Blaugrana interested in re-signing the striker from PSG.
Real Madrid star Federico Valverde has recently been linked with a move away from Real Madrid, but the 24-year-old seems quite content to stay with the club:
Federico Valverde wants to stay loyal to Real Madrid. The 24-year-old has now made his passion for the club clear.
In the documentary series “Real Madrid: Hasta el final”, the first episodes of which appeared on Friday on Apple TV, the Uruguayan was asked about his feelings for the royal team. Valverde’s response: “To get me out of Real Madrid, they have to kill me!”
Since moving from Deportivo La Coruña to the Spanish capital in 2018, Valverde has become an unexpected player in coach Carlo Ancelotti’s squad.
