BVB appear to be making significant progress in their efforts to keep Nico Schlotterbeck.

Bayer Leverkusen are reportedly considering a move for Brighton manager Fabian Hurzeler as a replacement for Kasper Hjulmand. Die Werkself are considering a change in the coaching seat even though Hjulmand only arrived at the BayArena in September last year.

Borussia Dortmund’s Maximilian Beier has proposed a rule revolution that would fundamentally change the game of football.

BVB loaned Cole Campbell to TSG 1899 Hoffenheim in the winter, believing the 20-year-old would get more playing time there. But the exact opposite has turned out to be the case.

Matthias Sammer has recommended that sporting director Sebastian Kehl and Borussia Dortmund part ways with immediate effect.

FC Bayern Munich is apparently planning a refurbishment of its training ground on Säbener Straße. This is likely to see the removal of a legacy left by former manager Carlo Ancelotti.

The annual NXGN lists are back for 2026, as GOAL ranks the world's top teenage talents in men's and women's football, crowning winners that will follow in the footsteps of the likes of Jude Bellingham, Rodrygo, Gianluigi Donnarumma and Vicky Lopez in being recognised as the best young footballers on the planet.

Was appointing Albert Riera a mistake? Rumour has it that people at Eintracht Frankfurt are already starting to have second thoughts.

Manchester City have been informed as to who the “best replacement” for Pep Guardiola will be, while Vincent Kompany is being backed to return to the Etihad Stadium at some point. Former Blues captain Richard Dunne has told GOAL what the future could look like in a coaching capacity, with two highly-decorated managers set to see their respective contracts expire in 2027.

It seems that the prospect of Sancho returning to BVB is gaining momentum. This is particularly because the club’s owner is fully convinced behind the scenes.

Nico Schlotterbeck’s future at BVB remains uncertain. However, those close to the club are now expressing hope that he will stay.

Borussia Dortmund have moved swiftly to appoint Ole Book as their new sporting director following the departure of club legend Sebastian Kehl. The 40-year-old arrives from Elversberg, where he built a stellar reputation guiding the team up the German football pyramid. He faces an immediate rebuild as the eight-time champions look to bounce back from recent setbacks.

Bayern Munich will reportedly consider selling left-back Alphonso Davies this summer due to his consistent injury problems. The Canada international has often been linked with a transfer away from Bavaria but signed a new contract last year which runs until 2030. However, the 25-year-old has struggled to stay fit in recent years and the German giants are weighing up whether to cash in, with Manchester United thought to be interested.

Barça are reportedly on the lookout for a new left-back. A familiar face from the Bundesliga is said to be at the top of their list.
