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.
Harry Kane has weighed in on the European landscape, identifying Paris Saint-Germain as the frontrunners for the upcoming Champions League campaign. The Bayern Munich striker spoke ahead of the highly anticipated league phase draw, where the continent's elite clubs will discover their initial path to glory.
Bayern Munich have moved to secure the long-term stability of their executive team by handing new contracts to sporting director Max Eberl and CEO Jan-Christian Dreesen. The duo, who have been instrumental in the club's recent successes, have both committed their futures to the Allianz Arena until 2029.
