+++ RUMOR +++

Will Icardi replace the sick Haller at BVB?

Borussia Dortmund's king transfer Sébastien Haller was diagnosed with a testicular tumor at the training camp.

The attacker will be out for an indefinite period of time, so BVB only has the young professionals Youssoufa Moukoko, 17, and Karim Adeyemi, 20, and Donyell Malen, who was moderately dangerous in his debut season, in the squad as storm options.

Dortmund's managing director Hans-Joachim Watzke revealed to "Sky Sports" that the club was dealing with interim solutions until Haller's recovery: "It would also be negligent and dishonest to say now that we are not already collecting a few ideas." One of these According to the broadcaster, Ideas should be called Mauro Icardi: The Argentine was only a substitute at Paris Saint-Germain, is considered a center forward with great qualities in scoring and should be favored by BVB for a loan change.

Ronaldo back in Manchester

Superstar Cristiano Ronaldo has returned to Manchester.

According to information from the British TV broadcaster Sky Sports, the Portuguese, who is said to be willing to change, arrived at the Manchester United training ground in Carrington on Tuesday and brought his agent Jorge Mendes with him.

Club legend Sir Alex Ferguson was also spotted in Carrington, according to Sky Sports.

It was initially unclear whether the Portugal international striker, who missed United's pre-season tour of Thailand and Australia, would train with the team or just come to talk with the club and their new coach, Erik ten Hag.

The presence of Mendes and Ferguson is seen as an indication that Ronaldo's future needs to be settled first.

Recently there was speculation about Ronaldo's departure, since the most successful striker in Champions League history would only play in the Europa League with United in the upcoming season.

However, there are no serious prospects so far.

Ten Hag had recently spoken positively about Ronaldo and thus kept the possibility of staying open for the star striker.

Swiss interest in Balotelli

After a strong season at Turkish first division club Adana Demirspor, former Italy international striker Mario Balotelli may be on the verge of a change.

As the Swiss newspaper »Blick« reports, FC Sion is now specifically negotiating with Demirspor President Murat Sancak about the fee for the 31-year-old.

"We have set our price for Balotelli," Sancak is quoted as saying.

"The ball is in their hands now."

Balotelli has always been regarded as an exceptionally talented striker, but has rarely been able to consistently display his talent over several seasons.

With 18 goals in the Süper Lig, including a five-pack in the last game of the season against Göztepe, the Italian has recently shown renewed form.

Rexbhecaj before a permanent change after two years on loan

First a year in Cologne, then a year in Bochum: Midfielder Elvis Rexhbecaj can already look back on more than 100 Bundesliga appearances, but the 24-year-old played most of these games on loan.

At his parent club VfL Wolfsburg, the strong midfielder has a bad chance of getting a place in the starting XI.

Therefore, a change should be imminent: As the "Bild" newspaper reports, FC Augsburg is said to have agreed on a transfer with the Wolfsburg team.

In Augsburg, Rexhbecaj is expected to help close the gap left in the center by six's Niklas Dorsch (metatarsal fracture) injury.

Barça are looking for Koundé

FC Barcelona is apparently about to sign the next coveted player: As the sports magazine "Marca" reports, sports director Mateu Alemany is already negotiating with FC Sevilla about changing the French defender Jules Koundé.

Chelsea were also recently interested in Koundé, but apparently couldn't keep up with the offer from Blaugrana financially.

As "Marca" further reports, a transfer could take place very soon.

+++ FAST FIX +++

Bayern after Tel-Transfer before the next teenage obligation

FC Bayern Munich continues to invest in the future.

After the commitment of Sturmjuwel Mathys Tel, 17, whose transfer should be officially announced on Tuesday, the German record champions have brought in Adam Aznou, 16, another teenager, according to media reports.

As reported by "Bild" and Sport1 on Tuesday, the young defender from FC Barcelona's youth has signed a three-year contract on the FC Bayern campus.

The young hope therefore receives an option for a professional contract.
