Bayern Munich open talks to sign Christopher Nkunku from Chelsea
Nkunku has been deemed surplus to requirements by Enzo Maresca at Stamford Bridge this summer. The Premier League club are eager to move the PSG academy graduate on before the end of the transfer window. However, the Blues are not willing to entertain a potential loan move for the 27-year-old and will only accept a permanent transfer away from the club this summer.
No agreements have yet been reached with Chelsea or the Frenchman, but it is believed that the former RB Leipzig attacking midfielder would be keen to return to Germany and join the Bundesliga champions. The versatile attacker's contract with the West London club is set to expire in 2029.

Villarreal set to break their transfer record
Villarreal set to break their transfer record originally appeared on The Sporting News Villarreal had a pretty good season last year as they finished 5th in La Liga last year and qualified for the Champions League. They started off their league campaign with a comfortable win against Real Oviedo and seem like they're on track for another good season. It seems like Villarreal are also expecting to have a good season as they are reportedly looking to improve their team by making a record signing. Renato Veiga to Villarreal Portuguese centre back Renato Veiga is heading to Villarreal on a seven year deal according to Fabrizio Romano. The club is set to pay Chelsea 29.5 million euros with a 40% sell-on clause that helped entice The Blues to complete the deal. The Portuguese centre back spent last season on loan at Juventus as he had struggled to settle in with Chelsea falling victim to the constant buying and selling of young talents that have become a staple of the new regime. Now, the talented centre back has the chance to settle down and develop and could become one of the best centre backs in the league. Villarreal Ambitions Villarreal fans should be ecstatic with this signing as their club is showing the ambition to build on last season and improve the team. They improve on their centre backs and should be able to make the starting eleven. It's the right move to make when the club is competing in multiple competitions this year. Villarreal will hope to make a significant push in Europe and push to be the best of the rest in La Liga.

Cowboys coach Brian Schottenheimer expects Micah Parsons to play in season-opener amid messy trade request
Though there hasn't been much movement publicly, Dallas Cowboys head coach Brian Schottenheimer is confident that star Micah Parsons will be out on the field for their season opener in a few weeks. Whether or not that means Parsons and the Cowboys have a new deal in place, however, is a different question. [Join or create a Yahoo Fantasy Football league for the 2025 NFL season] 'I feel good about that, yeah,' Schottenheimer said on Wednesday when asked if he thought Parsons would be taking the field in Week 1, via The Dallas Morning News' Calvin Watkins. 'I feel good that Micah is going to be out there against the Philadelphia Eagles.' Parsons is entering the fifth-year option of his rookie contract this fall, which is set to pay him about $24 million this season. He has undoubtedly proven himself to be one of the best defensive players throughout the league already. He had 12 sacks and 43 total tackles in 13 games last season while dealing with an ankle injury. But despite having months to get it done, Parsons and the Cowboys failed to reach a contract extension this offseason. That led to Parsons making a trade request early in training camp, something that owner Jerry Jones said he doesn't plan to honor. Parsons has been with the Cowboys throughout the entire preseason, but he's been limited in part due to a back injury. Jones and the Cowboys don't appear to be any closer to a new deal, either. According to ESPN's Adam Schefter, things have gotten 'personal' and each side is 'dug in.' 'I don't know if necessarily talks will [pick up], but we've got a game coming, and he's under contract,' Jones said last week as the team wrapped up its California portion of training camp. There is plenty of time to go before the Cowboys take the field against the Eagles on Sept. 4. Jones, who has been in this position plenty of times before in his time with the franchise, could easily reconcile with Parsons in time and strike a new deal. But at least for now with negotiations looming, both Jones and Schottenheimer are clear on one thing. They expect Parsons out on that field in Week 1.
