The summer transfer window may still be months away from opening in Europe, but the rumors and speculations are already swirling around in the football world. Sky Sports Deutschland has provided some insights into Bayern Munich’s efforts to strengthen their full-back positions. The Bavarian giants are closely monitoring Jeremie Frimpong from Bayer Leverkusen as a potential candidate for their right flank. The 23-year-old has been playing a crucial role in his current team’s success in the Bundesliga, and it is believed that his release clause ranges between €40 million and €45 million. Bayern Munich could potentially make a move for Frimpong if they decide to adopt a formation that utilizes a back three.
On the left side, there have been talks about Alphonso Davies wanting to leave Bayern Munich to join Real Madrid. The German club is reportedly demanding a transfer fee of between €50 million and €60 million for the 23-year-old. While there hasn’t been an official offer yet, the possibility of Davies’ move to Madrid is increasing, especially since the player is reportedly demanding a salary package worth up to €20 million per year – a figure that Bayern Munich is unwilling to meet. As a replacement for Davies, AC Milan’s Theo Hernández has been identified as a top candidate. The Frenchman, who has spent five years with the Serie A club, is open to a change, and initial discussions have taken place between Bayern and Milan, with a transfer fee set at around €60 million to €70 million. Another alternative being considered is Girona’s Miguel Gutiérrez, who is currently allowed to leave LaLiga’s surprise title contenders due to a release clause that ranges between €30 million and €35 million.
Real Sociedad’s Robin Le Normand is catching the attention of Atletico Madrid, with reports suggesting that the La Liga champions have been monitoring the 27-year-old center-back for some time. Le Normand is valued at around €40 million, but Atletico might try to bring down that valuation by including Javi Galán in the potential deal. Meanwhile, Fenerbahce is seeking a fee of €25 million for Sebastian Szymanski, who has garnered interest from Napoli. The Italian club sees the 24-year-old midfielder as a potential replacement for Piotr Zielinski, who is expected to leave as a free agent at the end of his contract in the summer.
VfB Stuttgart’s striker Serhou Guirassy is facing an uncertain future, with reports suggesting that the 27-year-old is in no rush to make a decision about his next move. Stuttgart anticipates his departure due to a release clause of €20 million, but they are willing to offer a higher salary to keep him, especially if they qualify for the UEFA Champions League. Guirassy is also reportedly on Bayern Munich’s radar as one of the potential options for the club.
Juventus is considering delving into the transfer market for a new striker during the summer transfer window due to their frustrations with Dusan Vlahovic. The 24-year-old has scored 15 goals in Serie A this season, but there are concerns about his performance against top teams in the league. While no specific replacement has been named, Juventus is exploring their options to strengthen their attacking lineup.
Nottingham Forest’s center-back Felipe has taken to Instagram to announce his retirement from professional football at the end of the season. The 34-year-old Brazilian reflected on his career, expressing gratitude for the great moments, playing for various clubs across four different countries, representing the Brazilian national team, and the history he has created throughout his footballing journey.
