+++ RUMOR +++
Zinchenko probably to Arsenal
Left-back Oleksandr Zinchenko is on the verge of a move from Manchester City to Arsenal.
This is reported by The Athletic.
Accordingly, the "Gunners" will transfer the equivalent of around 35 million euros upon completion of the transfer.
The 25-year-old Ukraine international is set to sign a four-year deal.
Earlier, striker Gabriel Jesus moved from Manchester City to Arsenal for more than 50 million euros.
Werner can imagine Chelsea farewell
National player Timo Werner is apparently thinking about leaving Chelsea due to a lack of game stakes.
When asked by reporters if he would be happy despite the offensive competition for new signing Raheem Sterling with the Blues, Werner said: "I could be happy anywhere."
The 26-year-old spoke in Las Vegas after Chelsea's 2-1 friendly against Club America, in which Werner scored the opening goal: "It's clear that I want to play more and I should play more to be good for the World Cup Being in shape and having a chance to play at the World Cup." The most important thing is "that I'm happy.
I'm happy when I score goals.
That's fact.
That's why I should take care of it, everything else will come after that«.
Last season Werner mostly sat on the bench.
And coach Thomas Tuchel didn't want to make any assurances now either.
"We'll see," said Tuchel, "but everyone is responsible for their own situation."
Werner is considered a possible starting XI candidate for the World Cup in Qatar, but according to national coach Hansi Flick he has to be used regularly.
Nianzou and Zirkzee before Bavaria farewell
After the almost completed transfer of central defender Matthijs de Ligt, another Bayern Munich defender reportedly wants to leave the club.
According to information from the French daily »L'Equipe«, the 20-year-old talent Tanguy Nianzou is aiming for a change because he sees his chances of being deployed as very slim.
Nianzou came to Munich from Paris St. Germain in 2020 and showed promising approaches.
However, the central defender, who often plays a little impetuously, has not been able to assert himself in the long term.
Striker Joshua Zirkzee could also leave the club.
Despite the departure of Robert Lewandowski, the 21-year-old striker does not play a role in coach Julian Nagelsmann's plans, as reported by Sky.
Ajax Amsterdam and PSV Eindhoven are considered possible buyers.

However, no transfer took place.
The defender should cost around 14 million euros.
