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 manager Vincent Kompany has confirmed that Jamal Musiala will miss Saturday's Franz Beckenbauer Supercup clash against Borussia Dortmund. The playmaker has been ruled out as the club manages adjustments to his ongoing medical treatment.
Joao Palhinha is on the verge of bringing his frustrating spell at Bayern Munich to an end after the German giants reached a significant breakthrough in negotiations. The Portugal international is now expected to return to his homeland by joining Benfica, following a difficult period where he struggled to secure a regular starting spot in the Bundesliga.
Bayern Munich have moved to ease concerns regarding Jamal Musiala's playing future after the Germany international collapsed in two successive pre-season friendlies. Club sources stressed that there is no evidence the playmaker cannot continue at the highest level after being diagnosed with a temporary and easily treatable neurological dysfunction.
