Bayern Munich prodigy seen as Tillman successor at PSV

Bayern Munich prodigy seen as Tillman successor at PSV

Yahoo23-07-2025
Bayern Munich's Paul Wanner is being strongly linked with PSV. The Dutch champions reportedly see the 19-year-old Bayern midfielder as a potential replacement for Malik Tillman, who moved to Bayer Leverkusen earlier this summer.
Following Tillman's departure, PSV considered Sven Mijnans, but AZ refused to co-operate on a transfer. Now, the Eindhoven side has shifted attention to Wanner, according to the Eindhovens Dagblad. The promising German player still has two years left on his contract with Bayern Munich and played in the U21 European Championship this summer.
Last season, Wanner was on loan at FC Heidenheim. In 29 league matches, the ever-improving creative midfielder scored three goals and provided two assists for the relegation-threatened side. In fact, Heidenheim only saved their Bundesliga status in the play-offs, and a two-legged victory against Elversberg.
The likelihood of an out-and-out transfer seems slim. However, Bayern are reportedly open to another loan deal for the teenager. PSV are following their interest in Wanner from last summer, where a deal failed to materialise.

Thomas Müller jokes he's missing Manuel Neuer as Vancouver adventure begins

MUNICH (AP) — Thomas Müller has a lot to adapt to with the Vancouver Whitecaps after 25 years at Bayern Munich. First up, flying without an old friend. Aboard the plane taking him to Canada and Major League Soccer, Müller joked it was the first time in 15 years he'd flown without Manuel Neuer, the goalkeeper who's been his longtime teammate for Bayern and the German national team. 'I'm on my flight to Vancouver. I'm looking for the GOAT. Can you help me? I cannot find him anywhere,' Müller said in a video on Instagram. 'It's my first flight without Manuel Neuer since maybe 15 years, I don't know. I'm very excited to come to Vancouver to play for the Whitecaps. Fingers crossed for my first games. See you there.' The 35-year-old forward admitted to feeling 'a little bit nervous' in comments to German broadcaster Sky Sport. 'It's the first time in a very long time that I'm joining a new team.' Müller joined Bayern's academy as a 10-year-old in 2000 and had spent his entire career with the German champion, winning a record 13 Bundesliga titles, two Champions Leagues and the World Cup with Germany in 2014. His last game for Bayern was a quarterfinal loss to Paris Saint-Germain at the Club World Cup in Atlanta, after a months-long farewell from the club. Bayern announced in April it wouldn't be extending his contract. Müller said he understood 'even if this did not reflect my personal wishes.' The following weeks saw emotional scenes with teammates, club officials and fans as Müller hit personal milestones — passing his 500th Bundesliga game and 750th game in total for Bayern — and wrapped up yet another German title. Vancouver said last week Müller will join the Whitecaps for the remainder of the season in an open roster spot, with a Designated Player option for 2026. ___ AP soccer: The Associated Press

Bournemouth in advanced talks to sign Bayer Leverkusen's Amine Adli

Bournemouth are in advanced negotiations with Bayer Leverkusen to sign Morocco international Amine Adli in a deal worth around £26 million. The 25-year-old, who can operate across the forward line, was a key part of the Leverkusen team that won the Bundesliga and DFB-Pokal in 2023-24, also reaching the Europa League final. That campaign was his most productive to date, delivering 10 goals in 42 appearances in all competitions. Adli has scored 23 goals and provided 24 assists in 142 matches for Leverkusen since joining from Toulouse in 2021. He represented France at youth level before switching allegiance to Morocco, earning 15 senior caps so far. Last season was disrupted by a broken leg that kept him out for three months, limiting him to six Bundesliga starts. However, his performances when fit have kept him in demand, with Bournemouth now hoping to bring him to the Premier League. The proposed move could trigger a chain of transfers involving Brentford and Newcastle United. Bournemouth forward Dango Ouattara has been the subject of talks with Brentford, who are seeking attacking reinforcements. The Bees view Ouattara as their preferred replacement for Yoane Wissa, who is wanted by Newcastle. Newcastle are pursuing Wissa after missing out on Liam Delap and Joao Pedro. The 28-year-old had a 'gentleman's agreement' to leave Brentford this summer, having stayed on last season when Ivan Toney departed. However, the sale of Bryan Mbeumo to Manchester United initially saw Brentford block his exit, prompting Wissa to refuse to train. The Magpies are confident of sealing a deal worth about £35 million for Wissa, but Brentford will only sanction the move once they have a replacement in place. That replacement is expected to be Ouattara — provided Bournemouth secure Adli. Ouattara, primarily a left winger but also capable on the right or through the middle, joined Bournemouth in January 2023 from Lorient. He scored three goals in his debut Premier League campaign and has continued to attract interest for his pace and direct style. Bournemouth have already strengthened this summer with the arrivals of goalkeeper Djordje Petrovic from Chelsea, left-back Adrien Truffert from Rennes, centre-back Bafode Diakite from Lille and forward Eli Junior Kroupi from Lorient. Adding Adli would give manager Andoni Iraola another versatile attacking option as the club aim to push further up the table next season. With negotiations at an advanced stage, the Cherries' pursuit of Adli could set off a domino effect that reshapes the attacking line-ups at Bournemouth, Brentford and Newcastle in the coming weeks.
