Werder Bremen show interest in Igor Matanović
Werder Bremen join Borussia Mönchengladbach and Freiburg in their pursuit of Eintracht Frankfurt attacker Igor Matanović, according to DeichStube.
With Oliver Burke joining Union Berlin and André Silva returning to RB Leipzig following an uninspiring loan spell, Bremen are looking to bolster their attack for the 2025/26 season. In their sights is Matanović, who only managed 300 minutes in the top-flight for Eintracht last season. With fellow Bundesliga clubs interested alongside Bremen, interest in Matanović is certainly high and Eintracht are ready to part ways with the Croat, either on loan or a permanent basis.

Matanović has only scored two goals and provided one assist in 25 games for Eintracht Frankfurt since his move from St. Pauli in 2021. The now 22-year-old was loaned back to his former club for two seasons before spending the 2023/24 campaign on loan at 2. Bundesliga side Karlsruher, where he scored 16 goals in 32 games.
At Bremen, Matanović would provide competition for Marvin Ducksch, Justin Njinmah and Marco Grüll.

Jobe Bellingham to follow in Jude's footsteps as Sunderland agree deal with Dortmund
Sunderland have agreed an initial £28m fee, which could rise to £32m, with Borussia Dortmund for midfielder Jobe Bellingham. Sunderland have agreed an initial £28m fee, which could rise to £32m, with Borussia Dortmund for midfielder Jobe Bellingham. Photograph: Nick Potts/PA Jobe Bellingham is poised to swap Sunderland for Borussia Dortmund after the clubs agreed an initial fee of around £28m, potentially rising to £32m. The 19-year-old England Under-21 midfielder, the younger brother of Real Madrid's Jude Bellingham, has just played a key part in helping Sunderland to secure promotion to the Premier League but is now following in his sibling's footsteps and heading to the Bundesliga. Advertisement Jude Bellingham spent three years at Dortmund and his positive experience helped to inform Jobe's decision to resist not only Sunderland's attempts to persuade him to remain on Wearside but serious interest from Eintracht Frankfurt and RB Leipzig. Related: Men's transfer window summer 2025: all deals from Europe's top five leagues The younger Bellingham joined Sunderland from Birmingham for £1.5m in 2023 and, in the course of 90 appearances, has since been scouted extensively by clubs at home and abroad. Last summer he signed a new contract at the Stadium of Light but that deal was just as much about protecting his future value as tying him down to north-east England. Under the terms of a sell-on clause inserted in the agreement reached with Dortmund, Sunderland will be due 15% of his next transfer fee. If, as expected, Bellingham passes certain milestones in Germany, and the fee increases to £32m, it will break Sunderland's record for an outbound transfer, established by Jordan Pickford's £30m sale to Everton in 2017. It would also make him Dortmund's most expensive acquisition, narrowly eclipsing the sum they invested in Ousmane Dembélé in 2016. Advertisement In an interview with the French radio station RMC last week Régis Le Bris, the Sunderland manager, was unstinting in his praise for Bellingham. 'The player is incredibly interesting,' Le Bris said. 'He's still very young and has enormous room for improvement. But his personality is also great; he's extremely competitive, extremely intense. Jobe is a guy with a wonderful personality. It's been a wonderful encounter.' Sunderland have already sold the winger Tommy Watson, scorer of the winning goal in the playoff final against Sheffield United, to Brighton for £10m while paying Roma £20m to turn Enzo Le Fée's loan into a permanent transfer.

🚨 Reports: Club's second-biggest deal, Jobe Bellingham joins the Bundesliga
The next Bellingham is on his way to the Bundesliga. After Jude left Borussia Dortmund to collect titles with the Royals, his brother Jobe is now heading to Germany's top league. He will follow in his brother's footsteps and also join the Black and Yellows. Dortmund has thus won the transfer battle against Eintracht Frankfurt. The Hessians were also reportedly in the race. Advertisement As transfer expert Fabrizio Romano reports, BVB has reached an agreement with Sunderland. He gave his famous "Here we go." 'Sky Sports' also confirmed the agreement. Bellingham was actually contracted to Sunderland until 2028, which is why a high transfer fee is due. According to media reports, AFC is calling for 33 million euros plus bonuses. This would make him the club's second most expensive transfer after Ousmane Dembélé (35 million euro transfer fee). What do you think about Bellingham's decision?
