Karim Adeyemi has been hit with a fine of almost half a million euros over the so-called 'mystery box' affair. The Dortmund forward has now broken his silence and issued a statement.
Manchester City and Liverpool have emerged as the frontrunners to land Hertha Berlin sensation Kennet Eichhorn after the Bundesliga's heavyweights cooled their interest. Bayern Munich and Borussia Dortmund have both stepped back from negotiations for the 16-year-old midfielder, citing eye-watering financial requirements. The Premier League duo are now in pole position to secure one of Europe's most highly-rated teenagers.
Borussia Dortmund have set their sights on Everton midfielder Tim Iroegbunam following his impressive performances in the Premier League. The 22-year-old talent has attracted major interest from top European clubs, with both Dortmund and Stuttgart planning to make their moves. However, Everton are determined to keep hold of their rising star ahead of the upcoming campaign.
Kennet Eichhorn is apparently willing to settle for considerably less. Nevertheless, BVB have now pulled out of the transfer negotiations. The reason? The club deemed the player's signing-on fee demands absurd.
Borussia Dortmund have responded firmly to the growing speculation surrounding Serhou Guirassy's future, with managing director Lars Ricken dismissing claims of an imminent exit. Despite intense interest from Turkey, the Bundesliga giants are determined to keep hold of their talismanic striker as they prepare for the new campaign.
And there we have it. The 2025-26 European football season is in the books, capped by Paris Saint-Germain beating Arsenal in the Champions League final to defend their continental crown. Soon the past nine months or so will become distant memories, such is the speed at which the footballing world moves on, especially when major tournaments on the horizon.
The Champions League final. It's the biggest match on the club calendar in football, always featuring historic clubs and so often the best players on the planet at that moment. Sometimes, it lives up to expectation in the most extraordinary fashion. Sometimes, sadly, it just doesn't. Either way, there is usually drama, as was the case in Saturday's final as Paris Saint-Germain beat Arsenal on penalties.
Julien Duranville of BVB is regarded as an outstanding talent, but he has shown flashes of his ability only sporadically. Even during the 20-year-old's loan spell at FC Basel, he failed to make a name for himself.
BVB are said to be interested in one of the standout players of the past Bundesliga season, but are reported to have been rebuffed after making an exorbitant offer.
FC Bayern Munich and Borussia Dortmund are likely to face further international competition in the transfer battle for one of Germany's most promising young talents.
Borussia Dortmund invested €25 million in Yan Couto. The Brazilian's second season was an improvement on his first, yet 2026 proved disastrous for the 23-year-old.
Manchester United are reportedly preparing to block Jadon Sancho from leaving the club on a cut-price deal this summer. Despite a difficult spell away from Old Trafford, the Red Devils are determined to protect the value of a player who cost them £73 million just three years ago.
Bayern Munich sporting director Max Eberl has confirmed that the Bavarian giants are keeping a very close eye on Hertha Berlin starlet Kennet Eichhorn. The 16-year-old sensation has become one of the most sought-after teenagers in European football following a breakout season in the capital.
Karim Adeyemi will not feature at the World Cup, a predictable decision given that the 24-year-old has clocked less than 600 minutes for BVB this calendar year. Will the forward now remain in Dortmund?
It has been known since March that Raphael Guerreiro will leave FC Bayern at the end of the season, yet the move could have serious consequences for the Portuguese full-back.
A bidding war for Nicolo Tresoldi is looming: according to Sky, Atlético Madrid are now also in the running to sign the German Under-21 international striker.
