Interesting move from RB here. Rumours suggesting they were moving on from Ole Werner after just one season were seemingly well-founded.

Brentford have reportedly agreed a deal to sign FC Köln winger Said El Mala for an initial €40m 😮

🚨EXCL | Borussia Mönchengladbach have opened talks to sign Isac Lidberg.

There has already been direct contact with Darmstadt 98. Further talks are expected to follow. No agreements yet.

The 27 y/o striker has attracted plenty of interest after registering 17 goals and 3 assists. @SkySportDE 🇸🇪

Sie waren nie wirklich weg. 💚

Die Zinnen – tief verwurzelt in unserer Kurve, getragen von euch, unseren Fans.

Jetzt kehrt das Wappen zurück. Moderner. Klarer. Aber mit derselben Seele.

Heute beginnt ein neues Kapitel unserer grün-weißen Geschichte.

Freiburg can go to the final with the backing of pretty much all of football Germany.
A club that’s difficult not to like, representative of their community in the Breisgau.

A nice #BVB home shirt?

How is Vinicius not carded there? #FCBRMA

[Ben Boyd (@1benboyd.bsky.social) @1_benboyd]

@RaeComm Exciting appointment, Derek. Quite out of the box for BVB’s recent standards. Will be very interesting to see how he gets on.

Had the privilege of talking to @Schanzer’s Sabrina Wittmann, the only female coach of a German men’s pro team, this week on getting her Pro Licence, building something sustainable for her hometown club & rising above the haters, for @guardian_sport https://t.co/cXnVzhrlGq

[Kevin Hatchard 🎙⚽️ @kevinhatchard]

This season has been a total disaster. The problem at Wolfsburg is that there’s no clear ethos, and it feels too much like a comfort zone. They’ve burned through so many coaches, and it always feels like players (apart from lifers like Arnold) have their eye on the next move.

The #Bundesliga & 2.Liga is back on YouTube in the UK this weekend! 🙌🏻 (Hopefully for good)

[Ben Boyd (@1benboyd.bsky.social) @1_benboyd]

This week‘s 2.Bundesliga games don’t seem to be on YouTube for some reason. I hope this is rectified, because it‘ll be a massive miss if you can only watch them via the app now. #Bundesliga

@shitbmxrider That’s good news. Hoping it’s the same in the UK.🤞🏻

[Ben Boyd (@1benboyd.bsky.social) @1_benboyd]

@SALTY_Shadows Yeah, i‘ve noticed that as well. Very strange — hope it can be rectified asap.

[Ben Boyd (@1benboyd.bsky.social) @1_benboyd]

@SebSB Appreciate that!

The Bundesliga is currently well placed to have 5 Champions League teams & 8 teams in Europe next season all together.

[Alfie | HITC Sevens @HITCSevens]

Bayern Munich are bigger than any NFL team.

Munich is a very wealthy city and they have over 400,000 members, yet their season tickets start at €175.

That's less than the cost of attending a single NFL game.

People like this will never get it.
