Bild reports that Borussia Mönchengladbach midfielder Florian Neuhaus could leave the club if head coach Gerardo Seoane stays. The Swiss coach no longer sees a place for a player like Neuhaus in his side and this has seen the 27-year-old sit on the bench for three games straight now and has not favoured the midfielder for the majority of the season.  This has resulted in the scenario that if Seoane stays on as coach beyond this summer, Neuhaus could possibly look to leave Gladbach, despite only extending his contract until 2027 at the beginning of this season, and also being promoted ..read more

Xabi Alonso has plenty of options to keep things interesting, including a full strength squad, when his unbeaten Bayer Leverkusen side face AS Roma at the Stadio Olimpico tonight. Against Daniele de Rossi’s 4-3-3, Kicker suggested that Alonso may opt for a four-man defence but in all likelihood, it’s difficult to imagine a switch from Leverkusen’s usual 3-4-3. Defensively, one of Odilon Kossounou or Josip Stanisic should start in a back three alongside Jonathan Tah and Edmond Tapsoba, with Piero Hincapié also an option for the left side. Granit Xhaka comes into this game fully rested after mis ..read more

Borussia Dortmund’s 1-0 win against Paris Saint-Germain on Tuesday secured a place in next season’s Champions League for Die Schwarzgelben. Their win means the Bundesliga receive a fifth place in next season’s competition, as Germany can no longer be caught by France or England in the UEFA Coefficient. Sitting fifth in the Bundesliga with three games remaining, Dortmund will still hope to finish fourth, above RB Leipzig, but can no longer be caught by Eintracht Frankfurt, who sit sixth. Speaking in a press conference after the game, Mats Hummels – who was one of Dortmund’s best performers on t ..read more

Ralf Rangnick has declined the opportunity to become the new Bayern Munich head coach, according to Christian Falk.  The Austrian head coach had become the front-runner in recent weeks after the club failed to get Xabi Alonso and then Julian Nagelsmann.  Just 24 hours ago, it was reported that Rangnick and Bayern were discussing the final details of his contract.  Bayern were confident that they had found their man and were willing to offer Rangnick a contract until 2027.  It’s not clear what has happened since then or if there has been a major disagreement. However, one th ..read more

Bild reports that Liverpool are showing a continued interest in Eintracht Frankfurt defender Willian Pacho, and may look to complete a move this summer. But there is a catch. The aim would be to sign the Ecuador international this summer and then loan him back to Frankfurt for another season. This would mean Pacho can still continue to develop and receive game time without the worry for Liverpool that someone else may beat them to his signature or he becomes more expensive next summer.  Pacho’s contract at Frankfurt expires in 2028 and he is currently valued at €30m by transferm ..read more

Kicker report today that Premier League duo Wolves and Everton are monitoring Werder Bremen attacker Justin Njinmah (23), with interest also coming from Villarreal and unnamed Bundesliga clubs. Werder are looking to extend Njinmah’s deal but with interest from the Premier League, that may now prove difficult. With six goals in 24 games this season for the Bundesliga side, he’s the club’s second top scorer behind Marvin Ducksch, but has been struggling with an ankle injury of late, which forced the player to undergo surgery. Werder will do their best to hold on to Njinmah, especially after losi ..read more

Bundesliga champion Jonathan Tah (28) is facing one of the biggest games of his career when Bayer Leverkusen face AS Roma at the Stadio Olimpico in the Europa League semi-final on Thursday night.

But his performances this season has attracted interest from Europe’s top clubs, including Bayern Munich. But speaking prior to Leverkusen’s trip to Rome, sporting director Simon Rolfes has a ‘good feeling’ that ..read more

Konrad Laimer has made a starting place in Bayern Munich’s midfield his own in recent months alongside Leon Goretzka with Joshua Kimmich switching to right-back. A free transfer from RB Leipzig, Laimer played his best game for Bayern and received a 1 rating by Kicker – the highest score – for his performance against Real Madrid on Tuesday night. But while Laimer downplayed his performance, Kimmich held his teammate in high regard post-match. Assessing the Austrian’s performance, Kimmich said: “An outstanding game, not just against the ball. He also made very good decisions with the ball and fo ..read more

Harry Kane scored the penalty to put Bayern Munich in a 2-1 lead at the Allianz Arena last night before Vinicius Jr. equalised seven minutes from time with it all to play for at the Santiago Bernabéu next week. Before Kane took the penalty, England teammate and Real Madrid midfielder Jude Bellingham played mind games with his compatriot, something which Kane blocked out on his preparations. Focused on the task at hand, Kane admitted to not hearing what Bellingham said on the pitch, but asked the 20-year-old after the game: “In the moment, I didn’t know what he said but I spoke to him after and ..read more
