Bayer Leverkusen CEO Carro dismisses Wirtz agreement with Bayern Munich
BerlincTypeface:> Bayer Leverkusen CEO Fernando Carro has dismissed reports that their playmaker Florian Wirtz has agreed to join Bundesliga champions Bayern Munich. 'I know that it is not true and it is annoying to read reports which are not true,' Carro told broadcasters RTL/ntv late Tuesday. Carro said that the club has a good relationship with Wirtz and his parents, with his father also being his agent. 'Of course Florian has to think about his future, but at least we are not aware - and I can assume that this is correct - that anything has been decided for him,' Carro said. The Bild paper said that 22-year-old German international Wirtz had agreed to join Bayern, either this summer, or next year if their reportedly planned offer of €100 million ($111 million) was not enough. Pharmaceutical company Bayer, which owns the club, has reportedly given the green light for the sale of Wirtz, who has a contract until 2027, but want €150 million. (dpa)

Can Real Madrid erase the memories of failed defences at Club World Cup?
Manager: Xabi Alonso Star player: Kylian Mbappe Club World Cup record: Five-time winners Fixtures: Al Hilal (June 18), Pachuca (June 22), FC Salzburg (June 26) For most teams, second place in their domestic league, runners up in both domestic cups and reaching the quarterfinals of the Champions League would mark a season of relative success. For Real Madrid, it means it is time to change the manager. Following two successful spells in charge of Los Blancos, a trophyless season, and not making the last four of the Champions League, marked the end for Carlo Ancelotti – the most successful manager in history. The Italian's boots are big ones to fill, but that is the task that former Real midfielder Xabi Alonso has taken on. A title winner in Germany, in his first managerial job with Bayer Leverkusen, Alonso was always hot favourite to replace Ancelotti when the time came. The 43-year-old is hardly walking into a minefield in Madrid with the Spanish giants claiming a league and European double only a season ago. Added to that squad last year was the latest Galactico, Kylian Mbappe. In the French forward, Alonso may face his biggest challenge – not due to Mbappe's personality or work rate, but purely his position in the side. In the words of Alonso's predecessor, Real are unbalanced but also lack 'collective commitment'. In short, the squad had too many attackers that Ancelotti felt he had to cram onto the field, while injuries left the defence in tatters, and Madrid did not sign someone to replace midfielder Toni Kroos, who retired last year. Veteran midfielder Luka Modric's departure after the Club World Cup means Alonso will be losing yet more poise, technique and wisdom from the midfield. Two seasons ago, prior to the retirement of Kroos, Real swept all before them with their then-new signing, Jude Bellingham, playing in an advanced role through the middle, flanked by Vinicius Junior and Rodrygo. The arrival of Mbappe forced Bellingham deeper, and something of a false-nine formation was changed to a straight 4-3-3 set up. The chemistry didn't blend easily. Mbappe ended up as the leading scorer in La Liga, helped in some part by a late-season injury to his closest competitor, Barcelona's Robert Lewandowski. The former PSG striker netted 43 goals across all competitions with his new club. That did not mask the fact that the team was not as fluid as the one that glided through the previous campaign to finish 10 points clear of Barcelona. Ancelotti's final season saw his side trail their fierce rivals from Catalonia by only four points. Still, the conundrum of making Madrid tick again, with a side that has no choice but to pick Mbappe, Bellingham and Vinicius for all the big games, is Alonso's great challenge – and that begins at the FIFA Club World Cup. On the eve of the final El Clasico of the season, and what would be the last of Ancelotti's career, the Italian politely reminded everyone that Real Madrid would be competing in FIFA's showpiece club event and not their rivals, Barcelona. The pressure was growing on Real's then-manager, and the speculation was mounting that his time at Santiago Bernabeu was coming to an end, potentially before the end of the season. Real would lose the match at Barcelona 4-3, and with it any final realistic chance of retaining their La Liga title, having already seen their Champions League defence ended by Arsenal. Ancelotti was not one to be pushed quietly aside after a glittering career across Europe. 'Playing Barcelona is special,' Brazil's new national manager said on the eve of the game. 'And this will be the last El Clasico of the season, because Barca are not in the Club World Cup.' Whatever the merits of FIFA's Club World Cup, long term, there is little doubt that, short term, the importance off the field far outweighs the significance of the tournament on the field. The prize pot is all that matters to the clubs, with the winner set to earn a football record $125m as part of the $1bn prize money fund.

Dortmund sign Jobe Bellingham
dpa Berlin Borussia Dortmund have completed the signing of Jobe Bellingham from Sunderland in time to have the player at the Club World Cup, the Bundesliga team said in a statement on Tuesday. The 19-year-old midfield signed a deal until 2030 with Dortmund, where his brother, Jude Bellingham, played in the past. 'I'm very happy to be a Borussia Dortmund player and to be fighting for titles with this great club. I want to play my part in celebrating success with the great fans here,' Bellingham said. He will travel with the squad on Friday to the United States for the Club World Cup on June 14-July 13. Tuesday was the deadline for Dortmund to complete the signing since it's when the additional transfer window for the tournament closes. Dortmund reportedly paid around ?30 million ($34.3 million) for the transfer. 'Jobe is an exceptionally talented player who, despite his young age, already possesses remarkable maturity and intelligence. We are convinced that he fits in perfectly with our philosophy,' managing director for sport Lars Ricken said. While Bellingham will be able to join the squad for the Club World Cup, Dortmund won't have defenders Emre Can and Salih Özcan. Captain Can is dealing with aducctor issues and will work on his recovery in Dortmund, while Özcan suffered an injury while training with the Turkey national team. Dortmund face Fluminense next Tuesday in their first match. Other group stage games are against Sundowns on June 21 and Ulsan Hyundai on June 25.

Decarbonization focus as Daimler, Toyota merge truck biz
Agencies German-based commercial vehicle maker Daimler Truck and Japan's automotive giant Toyota have agreed to merge the truck businesses of their Japanese subsidiaries Mitsubishi Fuso and Hino as planned, according to a joint press release on Tuesday. The groups intend to each hold 25% of the shares in a new listed holding company set to launch in April 2026, it said. The holding company will be listed on the Tokyo stock exchange and is set to employ over 40,000 people, led by Karl Deppen, head of Asia at Daimler Truck, according to the aim of the merger is to 'cooperate in the areas of commercial vehicle development, procurement, and production.' 'We are bringing together two strong partners to form an even stronger company and to successfully shape the decarbonization of transportation,' Karin Radstrom, chief executive at Daimler Truck, said, calling the integration of the two businesses 'truly historic.' 'Today's final agreement is not the goal but the starting line,' said Toyota chief executive Koji Sato. 'Our four companies, aiming to achieve a sustainable mobility society, will continue to create the future of commercial vehicles together.' The companies had signed a letter of intent for the project two years ago. However, problems with the emissions certification of engines at Toyota's subsidiary Hino had delayed the plans. Daimler Truck Asia sold 102,870 commercial vehicles last year, according to the company, with turnover reported at 4.9 billion euros ($5.6 billion). A spokesperson noted that the Indian market and China are not included in the figures because both divisions have belonged to Mercedes-Benz Trucks since the beginning of the year.
