Bayern Munich remain optimistic that Harry Kane will commit to a new contract before the conclusion of the international break at the end of September, despite ongoing interest from Manchester United and Tottenham Hotspur.
Meanwhile, Alphonso Davies will be absent from Canada’s upcoming friendlies against Chile, Peru, and the USA. This decision was reached mutually, allowing Davies to take time off for his honeymoon.
In a lighter moment off the pitch, Jürgen Klopp was reportedly seen joking with Vincent Kompany about deploying Nathaniel Brown in an advanced No. 10 role. The conversation also touched on Bayern’s man-marking defensive system and Brown’s current position as a left-back.
Bayern’s Youth and Transfer Prospects
On the talent front, Bayern continues to scout promising young players. The club is among those monitoring 15-year-old Manchester United winger JJ Gabriel, who is reportedly seeking a departure from United. Bayern has made formal inquiries, signaling serious interest in the teenager’s potential.
Despite rumors linking Bayern with Florian Wirtz, the Liverpool attacking midfielder is said to have no desire to return to Germany or join Bayern at this stage.
In addition, Bayern is exploring long-term executive options, with Rouven Kasper being considered as a future successor to Jan-Christian Dreesen.
Elsewhere, the loan of Bryan Zaragoza to Espanyol contains a clause that could make the transfer permanent. If Espanyol maintains their league status and Zaragoza plays at least 45 minutes in 20 matches, the club holds an option to buy for €8 million.
Moreover, Simon Jordan has recommended that Thomas Tuchel keep a close eye on Liam Delap, whose promising performances for Nottingham Forest have positioned him as a potential England striker and a future successor to Harry Kane.
