Leverkusen and Frankfurt court €50 million Bundesliga ace
Wolfsburg signed Algerian striker Mohamed Amoura from Belgian cup winners Union Saint-Gilloise on a loan deal, but they'll certainly exercise their buy option for €17 million. According to local outlets 'Aller-Zeitung' and 'Wolfsburger Allgemeine Zeitung", Wolfsburg are open to listen to offers in the range of €50 million.
"It's fantastic how he has developed with us,' said Wolfsburg's sports director Peter Christiansen. 'Of course, there will be interested clubs. But, if we let a player go, there must not be a gap here and we should get what he is worth for the club.'
Amoura scored nine goals in his first 22 Bundesliga appearances for the Green and Whites. Meanwhile, his assist in Bremen puts him third in the league's ranking with eight. The fleet-footed dribbler is the main reason for Wolfsburg's late push for European places.
But, he could join a Champions League side by the end of the season. Bayer Leverkusen and Eintracht Frankfurt are currently lining up their offers to add the 24-year-old to their ranks. The champions are reportedly in pole position, while Frankfurt must secure a Champions League qualification to afford a transfer of that scale.

😮 What a stat: Why Bayern's 2022/23 window was wild
Playing for Bayern is probably still the ultimate dream for many footballers. Once you've made it and have been signed by the German record champions, ideally you'd want to play for Bayern for a longer period of time. That's probably what the eight players signed by Bayern in the 2022/23 season thought as well. Well, things always turn out differently than you expect: From a transfer perspective, the 2022/23 season really didn't pay off for Bayern in the long run. They made eight signings during the summer or winter transfer windows, and all eight players have already left the club. Advertisement With Mathys Tel, the last of those new signings has now officially said goodbye to Bayern today. We're curious to see how long the current new signings will stick around at Bayern in the coming years. This article was translated into English by Artificial Intelligence.

Everton join race for Mainz's Anthony Caci
TEAMtalk reports that Everton have joined the race to sign Mainz 05 wingback Anthony Caci. The Frenchman has previously been linked with Fulham and Leeds United. Entering the final year of his Bundesliga contract, Caci maintains a career high estimated market value of €12m. Whether Mainz remain amenable to selling Caci remains to be seen. The 27-year-old played an important role for Bo Henriksen's Rheinhessen this season, successfully filling in as a right wingback and even as central defender. Advertisement With 32-year-old captain Silvan Widmer not factoring into Henriksen's plans much anymore, the Mainzer head coach will have to decide whether 22-year-old Nicolas Veratschnig is prepared to fill Caci's position. Thus far in the summer transfer window, Mainz have signed another left back but made no direct efforts to find a replacement for Caci. The 2025/26 German Conference League representatives will wish to keep a deep squad. The fact that Mainz's total outlays this summer – thanks to the purchase of Benedict Hollerbach – leave the club approximately €8.5 in the red may nevertheless facilitate a sale. Caci joined Mainz on a free from Strasbourg in July 2022. GGFN | Peter Weis

Transfer news: Gyokeres to Arsenal, Ekitike to Manchester United
The latest transfer news continues to swirl as Premier League big boys are eyeing up some huge moves early in the summer. Let's focus on the latest transfer news making the headlines. Viktor Gyokeres heading to Arsenal? The Swedish striker, 27, has been linked with every big club in Europe over the last few years and it seems certain he will leave Sporting Lisbon this summer. But according to Fabrizio Romano, he will not be heading to Manchester United to link up with his former manager Ruben Amorim. Per the report, Gyokeres is keen on a move to Arsenal and that is his priority. That news will delight Gunners fans as Gyokeres would be a totally different profile of striker and his arrival would give them the clinical finisher they've been craving. It would also free up Kai Havertz to play as a No. 10 or on the left and that makes the Gunners much stronger in attack. Gyokeres has scored 97 goals in 102 games in all competitions for Sporting over the last two seasons and his large frame is ideal for hold up play, plus his ability to run free on the counter will suit Arsenal's style perfectly. There are other reports suggesting that Arsenal are becoming frustrated with Sporting but if Gyokeres wants this move, the Gunners have to get it done. Soon. Manchester United in the hunt for Hugo Ekitike Eintracht Frankfurt's young French striker Hugo Ekitike is being chased by Chelsea, Liverpool and Manchester United as the 22-year-old is projected to become one of the best all-round forwards in the world. According to FootMercato, discussions are ongoing between Man United and Ekitike over a deal and it's progressing in the right direction. He is valued at over $108 million by Frankfurt after a breakout campaign which saw him score 22 times in all competitions last season. United have already signed Matheus Cunha to boost their attacking options next season and another striker is essential if they're going to become candidates to qualify for the Champions League in Ruben Amorim's first full season in charge. With Gyokeres not wanting a move to United, it appears the Red Devils are now going all-in on Ekitike. He fits the profile of player they have been signing in recent windows and is in the sweet spot of having plenty of potential and room for improvement, but also proving himself as a regular goalscorer in one of Europe's top leagues. United need the latter desperately.
