Bayern interested in Nkunku
Passed from PSG to Leipzig in the summer of 2019, Christopher Nkunku bursts the screen across the Rhine.
The Frenchman has 26 goals and 12 assists in 39 matches this season.
A performance that opened the doors of the France team to him… and which did not escape Bayern Munich.
According to the Sport1
channel
and confirmed by the daily
Bild
, the nine-time reigning German champion “
is interested
” in Nkunku.
He would be the main alternative to the German winger Serge Gnabry, at the end of the contract in 2023 and whose negotiations to extend are slipping.
If there is no outcome this summer, Gnabry (26) will be sold and Bayern will pounce on Nkunku (24), whose price would be around €60m.

Barcelona: Laporta tempers for Mbappé and Haaland
Invited on RAC1
radio
on Monday evening, the president of FC Barcelona, Joan Laporta, reviewed the news of his club.
The transfer window was discussed at length, and a question was asked about Kylian Mbappé and Erling Haaland, whose names have been associated with Barça in recent rumors.
But Laporta warns signings '
will have to adapt to Barcelona wage levels and a defined economic structure that maintains the club's sustainability and balance
'.
Plagued by financial worries, Barça want to avoid madness and "
players who are more than the team
".
In other words, the Catalan club does not see itself struggling with its rival, Real Madrid, to recover Mbappé, still at the end of the contract at PSG.
Griezmann almost definitely at Atlético
After two difficult seasons at FC Barcelona, Antoine Griezmann returned to Atlético de Madrid on the gong of the last summer transfer window, in the form of a loan.
And as the
El Desmarque
site reports , the purchase option should be exercised.
The condition was that Griezmann played at least 50% of the Atlético matches where he was available (i.e. not injured or suspended).
Unless he is confined to the bench for the rest of the season, the tricolor world champion (31 years old) will be automatically transferred to the Colchoneros this summer, for 40 M€.
Good news for his coach Diego Simeone, who is already counting on him for next season.
