Bayern Munich are known to have made an intensive effort to sign Florian Wirtz more than a year ago. Regarding a move to Munich at the second attempt, Karl-Heinz Rummenigge has now spoken plainly. He also said he was surprised by his development at Liverpool.
Months ago, Bayern youngster Karl caused a major stir with an innocuous remark about his "dream club". His prominent adviser has little understanding for it.
Harry Kane has provided a significant update on his future at Bayern Munich, suggesting that a new contract agreement is close to being finalised. Despite long-standing interest from Barcelona, the England captain remains settled in Bavaria following a prolific start to his career in Germany.
At FC Augsburg, Mads Pedersen and Sandro Wagner, the new Hannover 96 coach, worked together for around six months. However, the two apparently only got on with each other with difficulty.
Mauricio Pochettino and the United States men's national team have suffered a major blow after highly-rated defender Noahkai Banks committed his international future to Germany. The 19-year-old Augsburg centre-back, who previously represented the USMNT at youth level, will now file a one-time switch with FIFA to represent his mother's homeland.
U.S. Men's National Team Head Coach Mauricio Pochettino says that Noahkai Banks will not be considered for a call-up for the team's upcoming camp, as the Augsburg defender remains undecided about his international future. Banks removed himself from consideration for a USMNT call-up in March and, ultimately, for the World Cup as he mulled over his future with both the U.S. and Germany.
