England striker and captain Harry Kane has delivered a powerful message of support to the Lionesses as they prepare to launch their UEFA Women’s Euro 2025 title defence. Kane expressed confidence in the squad’s ability to bounce back from World Cup disappointment and reclaim their dominance on the European stage. The women’s national team begins their tournament with a high-stakes encounter against France in Zurich.
Harry Kane sent a heartfelt message to "legend" Thomas Muller as his career with Bayern Munich came to an end following a 2-0 defeat against Paris Saint-Germain in the quarter-finals of the Club World Cup. The 34-year-old attacker had already confirmed earlier in the season that this campaign would be his last with the club and the defeat to the Parisians marked his final game in a Bayern shirt.
Bayern Munich are reportedly considering a move for Chelsea forward Christopher Nkunku and Crystal Palace's Eberechi Eze as part of their summer rebuild. Nkunku arrived at Stamford Bridge in 2023 with high expectations after a standout spell with RB Leipzig. However, the French international has endured a challenging period in west London, with injuries and inconsistent form severely limiting his impact.
Bayern Munich have reportedly submitted an opening bid of €52 million (£45m) for Luis Diaz, but Liverpool are holding firm on their £68 million valuation of the Colombian winger. Despite ongoing contract uncertainty, the Reds remain reluctant to sell Diaz, though Bayern’s interest signals their intent to strengthen ahead of their Bundesliga title defence.
Bayern Munich’s hunt for a capable understudy to Harry Kane has hit a roadblock, as VfB Stuttgart reportedly continue to resist their efforts to sign emerging forward Nick Woltemade. The Bavarian giants have already made two formal bids, but both were swiftly turned down by Stuttgart, who are holding firm on their valuation of the 23-year-old striker.
The Lionesses retained their European Championship crown in thrilling fashion, defeating Spain 3-1 in a penalty shootout after a 1-1 draw in the Euro 2025 final. Chloe Kelly scored the decisive spot-kick, with goalkeeper Hannah Hampton producing heroics. Harry Kane led the tributes with a heartfelt message praising the team's incredible achievement in Switzerland.
