Tuchel wants Fernandes! Bayern coach makes transfer demand

Bayern Munich boss Thomas Tuchel is set to sign a new contract with the Bavarians, however, he has two demands that may be deal-breakers.

As reported by The Independent, the former Chelsea boss has asked the club to undertake the signing of Manchester United captain Bruno Fernandes. There have been reports of the Portuguese attacking midfielder being unsettled at Old Trafford this season, and that would play very well for Bayern as they may lose Jamal Musiala in the near future with Manchester City very interested in the German's services.

Revealed: Why Bologna star Zirkzee is available for just £34m

Bologna striker Joshua Zirkzee is available for a bargain price this summer due to the rather unique state of his contract.

Despite the Serie A side wanting much more for the in-form 22-year-old, he is in line to be snapped up for as little as £34 million (€39m/$43m). As reported by Gazzetta, that is the fixed price for the striker which has been agreed between his entourage and Bologna. The figure was a release clause for previous club Bayern Munich, but is now the amount also set for the likes of Arsenal and Manchester United - with the Bundesliga outfit holding the first-choice option.

Dortmund keen to sign Jobe Bellingham

Borussia Dortmund are now eyeing Jobe Bellingham, for a potential move to the Bundesliga, according to Football Insider.

Bellingham, an 18-year-old attacking midfielder, made the switch from Birmingham City to Sunderland for a modest fee of £1.5 million last June. Since then, he has showcased his talent on the pitch, notably scoring seven goals in 47 appearances for Sunderland.

With Sunderland looking to balance their financial books by offloading some players, Dortmund sees an opportunity to swoop in and offer Jobe a chance to make his mark in one of Europe's top leagues. The success of Jude Bellingham at Dortmund likely adds to the allure of the move, as it demonstrates the club's ability to nurture young talent and provide them with a platform to thrive.
