For some football fans, the summer is the part of the calendar that they look forward to the most - and that's not just because it's filled by a World Cup every four years! Rather, it's because the end of the season means only one thing: It's time for transfers! The 2026 window is once again proving to be busy, with some huge names making big-money moves before deadline day on September 1.

Bayern Munich head coach Vincent Kompany has confirmed that Jamal Musiala will miss the club's Bundesliga opener against Stuttgart on Friday. The German international is still working his way back to full fitness following a recent health scare that saw him sidelined during the pre-season schedule.

Borussia Dortmund president Hans-Joachim Watzke has admitted Bayern Munich are overwhelming favourites for the Bundesliga title, insisting his side cannot compete economically. Despite picking up 73 points last season, Watzke conceded that Vincent Kompany's dominant champions remain out of reach for the rest of German football.
