The player, who has recently hinted at a possible club move this summer, is showing himself open to a new chapter in the Bundesliga. According to sources, he has already given his approval to the transfer – a crucial step for the German team, which has seen its attacking line weakened following the departure of Lerou Sané and Jamal Musiala’s serious injury.

Barcelona are fighting, but the battle seems lost
At the same time, FC Barcelona continue to look at Luis Díaz as their first choice to strengthen the left wing in attack.

Tug-of-war between Bayern and Barça
A tug-of-war between Bayern and Barcelona is underway. The Germans are pushing hard, while the Catalans are betting on patience to convince both Liverpool and the player himself – even if the game seems lost as they are unable to register new players.
