Bayern ignite Rice race with £95m offer, Kane to Man Utd blocked – Paper Round

May 29, 2023

Bayern’s £95m Rice offer

Bayern Munich have thrown the race to sign Declan Rice this summer wide open after the Mirror reported the German champions are launching a £95m offer for the West Ham midfielder. Rice will be allowed to leave the Hammers if their asking price is met, and amid interest from Premier League clubs Arsenal, Liverpool, Manchester United and Chelsea, the England international is said to have spoke to Bayern boss Thomas Tuchel recently as he considers his options.

“Rice is expected to inform West Ham that his preference is to move to Arsenal this summer. The Gunners want Rice to replace Granit Xhaka, who looks set to join Bayer Leverkusen,” the Mirror writes.

“However, Rice is believed to have held talks with Bayern boss Tuchel in recent days and the lure of joining one of Europe’s heavyweights could prove a tempting proposition. It is also unclear at this stage how much Arsenal are willing to pay to land Rice this summer.”

Spurs to block Kane to Man Utd

Tottenham chairman Daniel Levy will not allow Harry Kane to leave for a Premier League rival this summer, the Mirror reports, a decision that hinders Manchester United’s hopes of signing the forward. Even though Kane is out of contract next summer, Levy is willing to take the risk – even if the England captain ends up leaving on a free in 12 months’ time.

“Tottenham will certainly not give up on keeping Kane beyond his current deal as they believe his loyalty plus also the incentive of closing in on the Premier League goals record – he is now just 47 behind Alan Shearer’s 260 – could persuade him to stay even longer,” the Mirror writes.

“Kane, who turns 30 in July, also knows that he could have the pick of his clubs next year as a free agent when, if he did decide to leave, he would also command a mega contract.”

PSG sound out Odegaard

Paris Saint-Germain are interested in a shock move for Martin Odegaard, the Daily Mail reports. The Arsenal captain was central to their title challenge, scoring 15 times as the Gunners finished second behind Manchester City. And with Arsenal out to build on this improved campaign under Mikel Arteta they are reluctant to sell this summer, and also boast a transfer budget that would not require such big-same sales in the upcoming window.

“Odegaard is key to Mikel Arteta’s plans going forward and is also happy with life in London,” the Mail writes.

“Arsenal have a transfer budget of around £180m plus sales – but don’t want Odegaard to leave as they look to go one better than second place next season.”

Fulham want Fred

Fulham are in the running to sign Fred from Manchester United this summer, the Daily Mail reports. Fulham boss Marco Silva waited to speak with Fred after their meeting at Old Trafford on the final day of the Premier League season on Sunday, and with United willing to listen to offers for the 30-year-old midfielder, a move to London could be in the offing for the Brazilian.

The Mail adds: “There are likely to be further departures from United this summer, with Anthony Martial, Harry Maguire, Eric Bailly, Brandon Williams and Alex Telles amongst those who could leave.

“Donny van de Beek and Anthony Elanga could also depart. Phil Jones and Axel Tuanzebe are out of contract and goalkeeper Dean Henderson, who has been on loan at Nottingham Forest, may depart permanently. There haven’t been any discussions about keeping Wout Weghorst once his loan from Burnley comes to an end and the same applies to Marcel Sabitzer, who is on loan from Bayern Munich.”

Bayern defend title after dramatic win and shock draw for Dortmund

May 27, 2023

Jamal Musiala’s 89th-minute goal, three minutes after coming on as substitute, secured Bayern Munich’s 11th successive Bundesliga title with Borussia Dortmund drawing at home with Mainz.

Dortmund went into the day in pole position, but soon this transferred to Bayern after Kingsley Coman’s superb curling eighth-minute effort and the leaders falling behind early.

This was turned on its head nine minutes from time when VAR ruled Serge Gnabry’s handball was inside the area and Dejan Ljubicic sent Yan Sommer the wrong way from the penalty spot.

Bayern stunned at home by Leipzig to hand advantage to Dortmund in title race

May 20, 2023

Bayern Munich threw away a one-goal lead versus RB Leipzig, with the Bundesliga title now in Borussia Dortmund’s hands after a 3-1 defeat.

Thomas Tuchel’s side were exceptional in the first-half and scored via a powerful strike from Serge Gnabry that went in off the post.

However, they threw it away in the following 45 minutes as Konrad Laimer finished off a devastating counter attack to draw the visitors level.

RB Leipzig then secured Champions League football and the dream result for Dortmund as Dominik Szoboszlai hammered in another spot kick after Noussair Mazraoui handled.

Bayern romp to win over Schalke to retain control of Bundesliga title race

May 13, 2023

Bayern Munich ensured they would finish the weekend at the top of the Bundesliga after a comfortable 6-0 win at home to struggling Schalke with Serge Gnabry scoring a brace.

Thomas Tuchel’s side dominated the first half and it was only the saves of Alexander Schwolow that was keeping The Royal Blues in the game.

It was Thomas Muller who broke the deadlock in the 21st minute, being set up by Leroy Sane, and he sidefooted a first-time shot into the corner from just inside the box.

The Bavarians doubled their lead eight minutes later through a penalty after Jamal Musiala was on the receiving end of a stray elbow. And skipper Joshua Kimmich sent Schwolow the wrong way for his fifth goal of the season.

The visitors brought on Maya Yoshida at the break but it changed little as the hosts made it 3-0 when Gnabry found space and fired in a low shot after being set up by Joao Cancelo.

And the former Arsenal man got his second after a poor pass from Yoshida which allowed him to round the goalkeeper and score while substitute Mathys Tel grabbed the fifth after steering in Musiala’s pass to complete the rout.

Noussair Mazraoui rounded out the romp with his first Bundesliga goal in injury time.

The result means the reigning champions have a four-point lead at the top of the table over Borussia Dortmund who play Borussia Monchengladbach later on Saturday.

TALKING POINT

Should Cedric Brunner have seen red in the first half?

VAR took an age to award Bayern a penalty after Brunner’s stray elbow caught Musiala in the jaw and saw him need treatment. The defender was shown a yellow but he can consider himself lucky to stay on the pitch.

PLAYER OF THE MATCH

Serge Gnabry (Bayern Munich): He has had an inconsistent season but Gnabry looked back to his best today, making it four goals in his past three games. His pace and late runs into the box were too much for the Royal Blues defence to deal with.

Mainz stun miserable Bayern in huge shock in Bundesliga title race

April 22, 2023

Mainz pulled off an incredible comeback to beat Bayern Munich 3-1 and blow the Bundesliga title race wide open.

The match started in a very open fashion, with both teams making mistakes in possession and countering the other.

Bayern thought they had taken the lead after 15 minutes when Sadio Mane made a superb run before expertly clipping the ball over Robin Zentner, but it was flagged for offside and after a VAR check, the decision to disallow the goal stood.

Thomas Tuchel’s men didn’t have to wait too much longer for a goal though. Mane was on hand just 15 minutes later to head home Joao Cancelo’s deep cross to the back post, and this time the goal stood.

Mainz equalised in the 65th minute when Ludovic Ajorque was on hand to head home a rebounded effort and score in his fourth consecutive Bundesliga match.

Just eight minutes later, Bo Svensson’s side had the lead. Karim Onisiwo played a great pass into Leandro Barreiro, who calmly fired his effort into the bottom corner.

Mainz made it 3-1 10 minutes from time. Aaron Martin rifled an effort from just inside the penalty area into the bottom corner to give Yann Sommer no chance.
