🚨❌ As exclusively reported and confirmed again today by FC Bayern with Christoph Freund: Michael Olise is staying as things stand.

No negotiations. No offer from Real Madrid, following Florentino Pérez’s promise to Bayern not to pursue Olise this summer. No transfer request has been submitted by either Olise or his agent yet.

Real Madrid are now 100% focused on Yan Diomande. Negotiations with RB Leipzig are ongoing tonight as Real push for a quick agreement. They are currently in pole position ahead of PSG, as revealed earlier tonight.

🚨⏳ Real Madrid now in pole position for Yan Diomande. He now has two verbal agreements in place - with Paris Saint-Germain and Real Madrid, both on contracts running at least until 2031. No verbal agreement with Manchester City.

Both Real and PSG are fully informed about the current situation. Fresh contacts took place today. PSG are not giving up, while Real are pushing to reach an agreement with RB Leipzig with direct negotiations now.

Leipzig are open to a sale, but €100 million is nowhere near enough.

🚨🔴⚪️ Bayern director Freund confirms Michael Olise will NOT leave: “Olise-Real Madrid? That's not a topic for us at all. He will play an important role for FC Bayern this season again”.

Real Madrid efforts are completely focused on Yan Diomande after opening bid. ⚪️🇨🇮

[Fabrizio Romano @FabrizioRomano]

🚨🇨🇮 Manchester City have gone quiet on Yan Diomande days ago after calls to check the situation, same for Arsenal.

Diomande has only opened doors to Real Madrid since he agreed personal terms with Paris Saint-Germain in June.

Real Madrid now in club to club talks with Leipzig.

[Absolute Chelsea @AbsoluteChelsea]

🚨 Enzo Maresca on 115 charges: “The only thing I can say is three years ago, the Treble season, I was here and it was the same words about this. In three years, it’s still the same”.

“Nothing has happened”.

“I don’t have any concerns personally”.

[Florian Plettenberg @Plettigoal]

🚨🔵 EXCL | Manchester City have verbally indicated they are also ready to bid €100m for Yan Diomande. No official offer yet, but several talks with Leipzig have taken place as per @philipphinze24.

Liverpool and Real Madrid have both had bids worth around €100m rejected. PSG have not submitted an offer so far. #MCFC 🇨🇮

[Ben Jacobs @JacobsBen]

Como now in advanced talks with Chelsea to sign Trevoh Chalobah after making a third bid worth around £26m. Closer to Chelsea's £30m+£5m asking price. Talks to accelerate over the weekend.🔵

[Fabrizio Romano @FabrizioRomano]

🚨⚪️ Understand Yan Diomande has opened doors to Real Madrid move as positive talks took place over contract terms.

Real Madrid will return with new bid after €100m package proposal rejected, as revealed.

[Fabrizio Romano @FabrizioRomano]

🚨⚪️ Real Madrid sent €100m official bid to RB Leipzig this week: €90m plus €10m add-ons proposal on the table.

RB Leipzig have rejected as they ask for more than €100m to let Diomandé leave.

🚨 Real Madrid working on deal to sign Rodri from Manchester City. Clubs not yet in talks but #RMFC now operating on basis of midfielder joining this summer. #MCFC still hope #Spain captain stays with/without new contract. W/ @MarioCortegana @TheAthleticFC https://t.co/MVGhS094pU

🚨🧤 Torino are closing in on Lucas Perri deal with Leeds United as new goalkeeper.

Final details being sorted then #LUFC will proceed for James Trafford as new GK with player keen on the move.

[Ben Jacobs @JacobsBen]

Idrissa Gueye set to sign for Saudi side Al-Diriyah on an initial one-season deal, as @footmercato called.

Move for the 36-year-old currently being finalised.🇸🇳

[Fabrizio Romano @FabrizioRomano]

🚨 Enzo Maresca: “Rodri will have surgery on a back problem on Monday. He needs holiday, he needs to rest, recovery, and then he will be back here with us”.

“Every manager wants to have Rodri, because he's a top player”.

[Ben Jacobs @JacobsBen]

🗣️ Enzo Maresca on following Pep Guardiola. "I consider Pep probably the best coach in the world in the last 20-25 years, and it's a challenge and a privilege [to succeed him].

"If you look at the history with managers at the same club for many years, after [they leave] they always struggle a little bit. It happened after Sir Alex and Arsene [Wenger], but it's a challenge to do the right things immediately for this organisation and the fans.

"I think the organisation is the main thing. This club has had three managers in 17 years. This is not normal. This has not happened often.

"This is one of the reasons I am confident we can do a great job, and continue to do the job of the last 14-15 years, since Roberto [Mancini] was here, then Manuel [Pellegrini] and then Pep for ten years."

[Ben Jacobs @JacobsBen]

🗣️ Enzo Maresca on Rodri, and a potential Real Madrid exit. "Around big players there is always speculation. I am not worried about that. It is normal. And they [Spain] won the World Cup, and he was the best player.

"Every manager wants to have Rodri because he's a top player. But now it is surgery [on a back issue], I think on Monday, and then he needs a holiday and to rest and recover, and then he will be back here with us."

[Florian Plettenberg @Plettigoal]

🚨🏁 Bernd Neuendorf has also confirmed our news that Jürgen Klopp will have no additional role with Red Bull. Never considered.

“His full focus will be on the DFB.”

Neuendorf also confirmed that, in recognition of Red Bull’s support, Red Bull will donate €1 million to the Wings for Life Foundation.

In addition, Germany will play three international matches in Leipzig.

“This is our way of showing our appreciation to Red Bull and Leipzig.”

[Florian Plettenberg @Plettigoal]

🚨⚠️ Jürgen Klopp on his philosophy as Germany head coach:

“The ones who will play are the ones who are good enough. The ones who are hungry. The ones who become even better when they put on the Germany shirt.”

“It’s not enough for players to say they’re proud to represent Germany. They have to show it.”

“Everyone who is eligible to play for Germany should make the effort. I’ll be watching them. My door is open. Today is a fresh start.”

“A back four has won the World Cup.”

“I’ll be watching a lot of matches in Germany, but also abroad to monitor players who are in contention.”
