Barcelona explored the possibility of signing Harry Kane as a long-term replacement for Robert Lewandowski, but their interest has quickly come to an end. The England captain has made it clear he wants to remain at Bayern Munich, leaving the Catalan giants to focus on other attacking targets.

Michael Olise is said to be attracting admiring glances from Real Madrid, with the Blancos reportedly prepared to pay a world record transfer fee of €223 million (£191m/$255m) for the Bayern Munich winger. Is he, or anybody, worth that kind of money? Former France international Louis Saha has endeavoured to answer that question for GOAL, with some “crazy numbers” flying around.

Bayern Munich have completed the blockbuster signing of highly rated left-back Nathaniel Brown from Eintracht Frankfurt in a comprehensive €55 million deal. The 23-year-old Germany international has committed his long-term future to the Bavarian giants until 2031, returning to his home region as a pivotal part of Vincent Kompany's defensive rebuild.

Tottenham Hotspur have decided against signing Joao Palhinha on a permanent deal after his loan spell, with the Portugal midfielder now set to return to Bayern Munich. Spurs have shifted their focus after major investment in midfield, while Palhinha's long-term future in Germany remains uncertain.
