Bayern Munich seek to trim their squad

France and Premier League legend Emmanuel Petit has brutally crushed Harry Kane’s hopes of winning the Ballon d'Or, claiming the striker "disappeared" when things got tough for both club and country. The former midfielder argued that despite Kane's heavy goalscoring metrics in Germany, his failure to show up in the critical knockout matches of the Champions League and the 2026 World Cup leaves him trailing behind Europe's elite.

Real Madrid used Michael Olise rumours as a clever smokescreen to launch a sensational move for RB Leipzig star Yan Diomande. The Spanish giants are in talks over a deal worth up to €120 million for the Ivory Coast international, who emerged as one of world football's most sought-after talents following a stellar World Cup campaign.

The Frenchman is in high demand at the Bernabéu.
