FC Bayern: Talent Erblin Osmani to Sign Professional Contract
Munich, Bavaria, Germany, July 13 – Erblin Osmani, a 17-year-old defensive midfielder, is reportedly set to sign his first professional contract with FC Bayern Munich, according to information from ‘Sky’. Osmani is considered one of the most talented defensive midfielders at the club’s Campus.
The German U17 national player with Kosovar roots is primarily planned for the U19 team but is expected to train regularly with the professional squad. Furthermore, it is reported that Osmani also has a chance to join the professional team’s preparation tour to Asia in early August. Currently, he is dealing with back problems.
Last season, Osmani made his Bundesliga debut in a 4-0 victory over Union Berlin, playing for three minutes. Otherwise, he featured for the U17 and U19 teams. Particularly in the main round of the U17 in spring, the Munich-born player impressed with six goals in eight games.
Jamal Musiala Undergoes Surgery After World Cup Disappointment
Jamal Musiala’s World Cup experience was a major disappointment. The 23-year-old DFB star, who suffered a severe ankle injury last summer, aims to regain his old form in the upcoming season.
To achieve this, Musiala has reportedly undergone surgery. The club confirmed this in a statement. According to ‘Bild’, a metal plate was removed from Musiala’s left foot. Despite the operation, Musiala is not expected to miss the start of pre-season training with the German record champions. The Munich team is scheduled to begin training for the new season on July 20.
FC Bayern Preparing First Offer for Juventus Star Bremer
In the alleged pursuit of Juventus Turin’s defensive star Bremer, FC Bayern Munich is reportedly planning the next step, according to ‘Gazzetta dello Sport’. The report suggests that an initial offer of around 30 million euros is expected from Munich soon. However, the ‘Old Lady’ is reportedly demanding significantly more for the 29-year-old Brazilian, specifically 40 million euros. The experienced player still has a long-term contract until the summer of 2029. Additionally, Bremer’s contract includes a release clause of 58 million euros, which is valid until August 10.
The defender himself is said to be open to a transfer, and Juventus needs transfer revenue to finance new signings themselves.
Arijon Ibrahimovic Reportedly Extends Contract
Last season, young talent Arijon Ibrahimovic was loaned from FC Bayern to 1. FC Heidenheim, where he was a regular starter. For the new season, he will return to FCB and will be rewarded with a contract extension, as reported by ‘transfermarkt.de’. The decision to extend the contract was reportedly influenced by the “good and trusting discussions” with Bayern coach Vincent Kompany. Ibrahimovic’s new contract, however, is said to be “only” until 2028.
Joao Palhinha’s Transfer to Tottenham Falls Through, Returns to FC Bayern
FC Bayern faces a problem: the millions from a potential transfer of Joao Palhinha to Tottenham are no longer a certainty. According to ‘Sky’, after the transfers of Sandro Tonali and Mateus Fernandes, the Spurs have decided not to exercise their purchase option. Last season, the Portuguese player was on loan at Tottenham, where he made 45 appearances as a regular starter, scoring seven goals and providing three assists. Despite his team’s weak season, Palhinha was considered one of the standout players, and it seemed likely that Tottenham would sign him permanently. The purchase option was reportedly 30 million euros. He still has a contract with FCB until 2028. In 2024, the national player, who was not nominated for the World Cup, moved to FC Bayern for 51 million euros but failed to meet expectations. It is unlikely that he has a sporting future under Vincent Kompany.
For Max Eberl, it is also about generating revenue after the transfer of Ismael Saibari and the impending deal with Nathaniel Brown. In recent months, the sporting director has faced criticism. Whether his contract, which expires in 2027, will be extended remains unclear.
Harry Kane’s Future Secured at FC Bayern
Harry Kane’s future with the German record champions is reportedly secured. Recently, FC Barcelona had expressed interest in the Englishman, but a decision has now been made. According to reports from the English newspaper ‘Daily Mail’, Kane intends to extend his contract in Munich beyond the upcoming season. ‘Bild’ also reports, citing its own sources, that the 32-year-old plans to stay in Munich longer. However, he wants to focus entirely on the World Cup for now. Therefore, talks with FC Bayern have been postponed until further notice. In the ‘Three Lions’ jersey, Kane hopes to win the World Cup title. ‘Bild’ also reports that Barcelona never had a real chance to sign Kane. Both Kane and FC Bayern are said to be aiming for a long-term collaboration. Interestingly, the Bundesliga has announced the schedule for the first two matchdays of the 2026/27 season.
Bayern Goalkeeper Suffers Long-Term Injury During Warm-up
Bayern’s youth goalkeeper, Leonard Prescott, suffered a meniscus injury to his knee during warm-up before the second team’s first friendly match against Legia Warsaw last Saturday. The new U23 coach, Dante, was on the sidelines for the first time in this friendly. According to the German record champions’ announcement, the U17 national goalkeeper has already undergone surgery and will be out for several months. The 16-year-old is currently considered one of the biggest talents at the Munich club and, despite his age, has already played for FCB’s U19 team. He has also been on the bench in the Bundesliga. Before the Champions League return leg against Atalanta Bergamo, after Manuel Neuer and Sven Ulreich were sidelined, it briefly looked as if he would even be in goal. Ultimately, however, Jonas Urbig, who was recovering from injury, was given the green light. In the next season, Prescott was actually planned as the fourth goalkeeper behind the established trio of Neuer, Urbig, and Ulreich.
Bayern Doubts Olise’s Stay Amid Real Madrid Interest
FC Bayern has consistently maintained that Michael Olise is not for sale. However, Real Madrid, among others, is reportedly very interested in signing the Frenchman. The Spanish newspaper ‘AS’ now reports that Olise is flattered by the interest from the Royal club. The FC Bayern management has reportedly realized that “anything can happen” regarding the Frenchman. A stay is therefore no longer certain. The newspaper further reports that Olise and his agents are seeking talks with Bayern officials but want to meet calmly only after the World Cup. Theoretically, this could be as early as tomorrow, but it is more likely that France will at least reach the round of 16. In this meeting, Olise wants to clarify what appreciation he receives and how Munich plans for his future. If these talks are positive, a stay or a contract extension would still be possible. The 24-year-old’s development has exceeded all expectations in Munich, but there is also suspicion that Olise is influenced by the rumors of recent weeks. Therefore, the officials are currently waiting for a signal from the player himself.
Diomande Prefers PSG Move
Should Yan Diomande leave RB Leipzig this summer, the talent reportedly prefers a move to Paris Saint-Germain, according to ‘The Athletic’. The 19-year-old is said to be convinced by the French champions’ sporting project. The work of club president Nasser Al-Khelaifi, club advisor Luis Campos, and coach Luis Enrique is said to impress Diomande. Additionally, the attacking player sees the opportunity at PSG to regularly compete for titles and even win the Ballon d’Or in the long term. Whether a move will actually happen is currently still open. According to ‘transfermarkt.de’, Diomande has a market value of 90 million euros.
Eberl Reportedly Pressures Nübel – No Training Start at FC Bayern for Goalkeeper
FC Bayern Munich is reportedly exerting some pressure behind the scenes to get goalkeeper Alexander Nübel off the payroll in a timely manner, according to ‘Sky’. The sporting management, led by Max Eberl, is said to have informed Nübel’s agent that the World Cup participant, who was recently on loan at VfB Stuttgart, should not appear at the official training start of the record champions on July 20 at Säbener Straße. The 29-year-old has no sporting perspective at the Munich club despite a long-term contract until 2029, as Bayern has decided on Manuel Neuer, Jonas Urbig, and Sven Ulreich as the goalkeeper team for the 2026/27 season.
Bayern reportedly wants to get rid of the former Schalke player as quickly as possible, but not at any price. For a sale, FCB is likely to demand a considerable transfer fee of 20 million euros. Most recently, Bayern reportedly rejected an offer from Besiktas Istanbul of five million euros in transfer fees and five million euros in bonuses. “We will make the right future decision for Alexander. What we can confirm is that Besiktas absolutely wants to sign him,” agent Stefan Backs is quoted as saying. The top club from Istanbul is said to be offering Nübel an annual salary of five million euros plus bonuses, but there is reportedly no agreement on a possible contract yet. Nübel is also said to be considering other inquiries. Besiktas is also reportedly pushing for a quick decision, as the club will compete in the Europa League qualification on July 23 and therefore wants planning certainty early on.
Konrad Laimer Extends Contract Until 2029
Konrad Laimer is extending his contract with FC Bayern Munich until 2029, ‘Sky’ reports. The last details between the Austrian and FCB are reportedly now settled, and an announcement is expected soon. Laimer is expected to earn a salary of over ten million euros gross per year. This is significantly less than what was initially reported in the media as his demand – at the time, up to 15 million euros were mentioned. Laimer has become a regular starter as a full-back in Munich. In the past season, he made 47 appearances and scored three goals, while assisting nine others.
Another Giant Reportedly Interested in Michael Olise
It is well known that Michael Olise is currently one of the hottest commodities on the transfer market. Real Madrid has been the most prominent interested party so far. Now, the Royal club is reportedly facing competition from reigning Champions League winners Paris Saint-Germain, according to ‘kicker’. PSG is reportedly closely observing how well Olise harmonizes with other PSG stars Ousmane Dembele, Desire Doue, and Bradley Barcola at the World Cup. PSG might also make the move more attractive to Olise with a potential change of position. The Frenchman recently indicated that he feels most comfortable in the number ten role. Money should not be an obstacle for the Parisians. However, Bayern has repeatedly stated publicly that the 24-year-old is not for sale – regardless of the price.
Nicolas Jackson to be Part of a Swap Deal?
Nicolas Jackson may not return permanently to FC Chelsea after all. The striker, who was on loan at FC Bayern Munich last season and is officially still a player for the German record champions until the end of June, is reportedly being offered by the Londoners to Juventus Turin as part of a swap deal for Andrea Cambiaso, according to ‘Gazzetta dello Sport’. Chelsea is said to have great interest in the 26-year-old left-back. The Italian has been a regular starter for Juve since his loan spell at FC Bologna three years ago. In the past season, he missed only three games – each due to suspensions. In total, he made 47 appearances in all competitions last season, scoring three goals and providing five assists. His market value, according to ‘transfermarkt.de’, is 20 million euros.
Chelsea was allegedly willing to pay 28 million euros for Cambiaso but was rejected by the ‘Old Lady’, who, given a contract until 2029, is reportedly insisting on a transfer fee of 40 million euros. Since the new club of former Leverkusen coach Xabi Alonso does not want to spend that much, they reportedly want to involve Jackson in the deal. Actually, there had recently been rumors from England that Alonso wanted to give Jackson a chance to prove himself at Chelsea. The Senegalese spent the past year in Munich as a backup for superstar Harry Kane. He made 34 appearances across all competitions, scoring eleven goals and assisting four, but did not do enough to convince FCB to keep him permanently.
French National Coach Didier Deschamps Advises Michael Olise to Stay at Bayern
French national coach Didier Deschamps is pleased with the progress Michael Olise has made in the past two seasons at FC Bayern Munich. “Michael Olise has developed incredibly. With us in the French national team, it was a bit difficult, arduous at first. But with persistence and support, he has developed,” he told ‘Sport Bild’. Bayern coach Vincent Kompany played a significant role in this. “He had an excellent season under him, with efficiency, character, and personality.” Therefore, he indirectly advises Olise to stay in Munich: “He will continue to be very good if he stays at FC Bayern.” However, he added that every player “must make their own career decisions.” The 24-year-old is still under contract in Munich until 2029 but is reportedly on the wish list of many top clubs such as Real Madrid, Manchester City, FC Liverpool, and Paris Saint-Germain.

Laimer Reportedly Close to Contract Extension
For a long time, Konrad Laimer’s future at the German record champions was uncertain, but now ‘kicker’ and ‘Sky’ report that the Austrian is close to an agreement with FC Bayern Munich. Laimer made 47 appearances and recorded 16 scorer points across all competitions last season and reportedly wants to stay in Munich himself. The main issue in the eight-month negotiations was the financial aspect, but both parties have now reportedly come closer. Laimer’s current contract runs until 2027, but with the extension, Bayern would have planning security at the right-back position. The 29-year-old joined the Bavarian capital in 2023 on a free transfer from RB Leipzig.
