Bayern Munich join race to sign Borussia Dortmund's Jamie Gittens
Kicker reports that Bundesliga champions Bayern Munich are getting serious about acquiring young English talent Jamie Gittens. Chelsea have also set their sights on the Borussia Dortmund professional, but the English and German club remain far apart in negotiations over the transfer fee.
Bayern board-member-for-sport Max Eberl has left the Club World Cup and returned to Germany in order to take a more active role in shoring up his club's summer purchases. The German publication has plenty of news to offer up on other candidates Eberl and the FCB front office are considering.

Kicker notes that FCB moves for Nico Williams (Athletic Bilbao), Rafael Leo (AC Milan), and Cody Gakpo (Liverpool are appearing less likely to join the German giants. Williams is reported to prefer a move to FC Barcelona. Gakpo – with a price tag of €70m – is considered a disproportionate investment.
Leo could still head to Bavaria, with former Serie A defender Kim Min-jae serving as a bargaining chip in a potential swap deal. Other players such as Bradley Barcola of Paris St. Germain and Kaoru Mitoma of Brighton & Hove Albion, are no longer serious targets for Eberl and his staff.
Kicker cites its own sources to claim that Eberl has already held talks with Gittens' entourage. Given that Dortmund held firm against Chelsea's pursuit of the 20-year-old, organizing a transfer sham, not prove easy. Even a fourth Chelsea bid totaling some €55m was said to be rejected by BVB.

ENG vs IND 1st Test: India posts highest away first innings total in over five years, best in England since 2007
Team India posted a mammoth 471 in their first innings at Headingley in the ongoing ENG vs IND 1st Test, registering their highest first innings total in an away Test since January 2019. That previous high came when India piled up 622/7 declared in the New Year's Test against Australia at the SCG, featuring centuries from Cheteshwar Pujara and Rishabh Pant. This is also India's best first-innings effort in England in nearly 17 years. The last time they surpassed this mark was during the iconic 664-run innings at The Oval in 2007, powered by Anil Kumble's only Test century and valuable contributions from the top order. Advertisement India's 471 at Headingley came on the back of three standout centuries: Shubman Gill (147) Rishabh Pant (134) Yashasvi Jaiswal (101) This is also only the second time India has had three centurions in a Test innings on English soil, the previous being at The Oval in 2007. Despite the collapse after 430/3, the 471-run total stands as a statement of India's batting dominance, marking a historic return to first-innings consistency in overseas Tests — a feat that has eluded them in recent years.
