Eintracht Frankfurt are in advanced talks with Noël Aséko, offering him a contract until 2030 with an option for an additional year. Bayern have yet to make a decision over the player's future. In case of a sale, Bayern expect a double digit million fee. Any potential deal is separate from the negotiations for Nathaniel Brown. Frankfurt are not interested in doing swap deals [@BILD_Eintracht]
🚨❌ EXCL | Rejection in the last hours: Despite Liverpool’s intensive efforts, Hertha BSC gem Kennet Eichhorn will not join the Reds.#LFC
Eichhorn wants to stay in Germany. Leverkusen are pushing hard for a permanent deal as revealed last night. Leipzig remain hopeful.
The 16 y/o has decided against a move to England, even though Liverpool’s offer was the most attractive at first glance - both financially and in terms of the club’s stature. The offer from Liverpool was higher than those of all German clubs competing for Eichhorn. @SkySportDE 🇩🇪
"Significant difference in valuation", aka not happening. Bayern will scramble every penny meanwhile midway through July Arsenal gonna come in and effortlessly put €75-80m on the table, which Frankfurt will instantly accept.
Nathaniel Brown’s future is yet to be resolved and any transfer this summer could well become a saga.
The German international is the subject of significant interest from Bayern and Arsenal. Currently, Bayern have held the most extensive discussions with the player’s representatives and convincing the player to move to Munich would not be a problem. However, there is a significant difference in valuation.
Frankfurt’s asking price is €65m for Brown, whose current contract runs until 2030. There is no release clause in that contract, either. So far, Bayern have indicated no willingness to match that fee. It means that while they remain favourites to eventually sign Brown, the deal is far from complete and any negotiation is likely to be protracted

🚨 @FabrizioRomano: “It’s very, very difficult to agree a deal with Bayern for Michael Olise.
Let’s see if Real Madrid still want to try or move to a different option, which is still a POSSIBILITY.
At the moment, the feeling is that Olise could STAY.”
Eintracht Frankfurt are working on signing Noël Aséko on a permanent deal. The Bayern midfielder is Markus Krösche's top transfer target. Roma are also pushing. Nevertheless, staying at Bayern remains an option for Aséko, as he has advocates within the club. Frankfurt and Roma are trying to tempt him with more game time [@kerry_hau]
Exkl.: Eintracht Frankfurt arbeitet aktiv an einem Transfer von Noel Aseko und bietet dem Mittelfeldspieler einen Vertrag bis 2030 mit der Option auf ein weiteres Jahr! Er ist ein Top-Transferziel von Markus Krösche. Auch die AS Rom gibt weiter bei Aseko Gas. Ein Verbleib beim FC Bayern bleibt trotzdem möglich. Im Verein gibt es wichtige Aseko-Fürsprecher. Die SGE und die Roma locken jedoch mit viel Spielzeit, die er in München möglicherweise nicht bekommt. @SkySportDE
In a new @ZDF documentary, Joshua Kimmich reveals that he was very close to leaving Bayern and that he seriously considered joining PSG: "The club's support wasn't what I'd hoped for or wanted. I had the feeling that Bayern were very open to letting me go [in summer 2024]. That doesn't help to strengthen the bond between club and player. I spoke with Max Eberl. He confirmed it to me again: 'If you want to leave, then you're for sale, that's possible' - At that point, I didn't know what would have to happen for me to extend my contract. I was 95% sure I wouldn't extend
Paris was a club that showed me a strong commitment. One that I hadn't even really expected. I spoke with the sporting director (Luis Campos) and the coach (Luis Enrique). I have to say they did a really good job and gave me the impression that they really wanted me, so you naturally start looking into it. That really made me think. I was supposed to be an important piece of the puzzle there as a player with a bit more experience. And that definitely has an effect on you. Paris sent me an offer. The financial aspect was incredible. Really. Very, very incredible, I have to say. But I didn't want to make that the deciding factor. It's not like I'm single and can only make decisions for myself and my career. I also have a responsibility to make decisions for my family members and to do the right thing"
In the end, Kimmich says Vincent Kompany's appreciation played a big role in his decision: "I've never felt such a great deal of trust as I do now. It was the right decision to extend my contract at Bayern"
If both Saibari and Brown end up joining Bayern, the club is currently not planning to go for an additional winger (Martinelli, Rashford, Kroupi, Godts, etc rumours are wide of the mark)
Rio Ngumoha was pursued when it became clear that the Anthony Gordon deal was complicated. The club held several talks with the LFC winger and his camp - his brother was even at Säbener Straße and a 5-year contract was agreed. But in the end there was no contact with Liverpool and the deal fell through

Herbert Hainer: "Michael Olise is a player of FC Bayern München, and he is under a long-term contract. We are not a selling club. If Florentino Pérez wants to send us a bid - which has not happened so far - he can save himself the trouble." [@JBerner97, @BILD]
