Real wants Mbappé this summer

Kylian Mbappé apparently wants to leave Paris Saint-Germain, the signing of Lionel Messi seems to have strengthened the French in his will and Real Madrid are said to be eager to sign the striker. However, that does not necessarily mean that the transfer will be processed promptly. Various media reports of a specific offer from the royal, it should be 160 million euros. A handsome sum for a player whose contract expires in the coming year. However, PSG is said to have refused.

A new PSG offer for a five-year contract with a 50 million euro salary per season is said to have rejected Mbappé and also to have told the club bosses that he wanted to change, according to the reports.

According to “Marca”, Real President Florentino Perez described the offer as appropriate for a player who could move to Madrid for free next year.

Perez is determined to pull through Mbappé's commitment, and he still has until next Tuesday (August 31).

Ducksch on the jump to Bremen

Second division Werder Bremen is facing the commitment of Marvin Ducksch from league competitor Hannover 96. According to information from the "Bild" newspaper, the attacker should complete the medical check on the relegated Bundesliga on Wednesday.

"I am pleased that Hanover and Bremen have come to an agreement and that Marvin's future is secured," said Ducksch advisor Ersin Akan.

A sum of around 3.5 million euros is being discussed as a transfer fee.

Under Werder coach Markus Anfang, Ducksch was the top scorer in the second division at Holstein Kiel in the 2017/18 season with 18 goals.

The striker has scored one goal so far in the new season - in the 1-1 draw for the Hanoverians at Werder Bremen.

So far, a lot has happened at Bremen, especially on the delivery side.

The sales of Milot Rashica, Josh Sargent, Maximilian Eggestein and Ludwig Augustinsson raised the required 30 million euros - now the Bremen-based company can invest in the squad again, albeit on a much smaller scale.

Delaney shortly before moving to Seville

Denmark's international Thomas Delaney is considered one of the sales candidates at Borussia Dortmund.

The Bundesliga team must first remove players from the payroll before a new professional can be signed.

Delaney has been speculating about a transfer for a long time, now, according to information from the "kicker", an agreement with Sevilla FC is imminent.

BVB may then try again for national player Marcel Halstenberg from RB Leipzig.

Cologne brings Baumgart students from Mainz

1. FC Köln has strengthened its defensive staff.

As the club announced, central defender Luca Kilian is moving from league competitor FSV Mainz 05 to FC.

The 21-year-old will be loaned out until the end of the season.

"Luca is a very talented central defender, he is quick and strong," said FC coach Steffen Baumgart, who knows Kilian from days together at SC Paderborn.

There the defender was under contract in the 2019/2020 season and aroused the interest of some Bundesliga clubs with good performances.

In Mainz, Kilian did not get along - also because of a severe corona infection - overall he played seven times for the 05er in the Bundesliga.

Cologne had to let their top defender Sebastiaan Bornauw move to VfL Wolfsburg before the start of the season.

Timo Hübers, who has already survived two cruciate ligament tears, was signed as a replacement by second division team Hannover 96 and was last missing at 2: 3 against record champions Bayern Munich.

Hübers suffered again from knee problems.
