Bayern Munich's Bryan Zaragoza personally turned down Jose Mourinho in phone call
Kicker does not explicitly confirm whether Zaragoza himself had something to do with potential transfers to Celta Vigo and Real Betis that have not been realized. The German magazine simply states that Bayern wish to sell the player they once paid a combined €17m to acquire in January 2024. Other clubs are only interested in loans.
Insofar as potential links with Bournemouth are concerned, Kicker has nothing further to add at this juncture. Kicker does claim that Fenerbahçe put a low double-digit million Euro offer on the table. Zaragoza, per Germany's most reliable footballing publication, then goes on to note that Zaragoza personally turned down Mourinho on the phone.

Bednarek ends eight-year spell at Saints with permanent move to Porto
SAINTS have confirmed the sale of long-serving defender Jan Bednarek to Portuguese giants Porto in a deal worth a reported €7.5million (£6.5million). Bednarek, 29, joins the Europa League-qualified team after eight years as a Southampton player, having signed for the club from Lech Poznan in 2017. The Polish international played 254 times for Southampton during his time at St Mary's and was a key player as they won promotion back to the Premier League. He was also relegated twice, including last season, but will now play continental football for the first time in his career after signing a deal until 2029. Bednarek was not included in the Southampton squad that spent last season in Girona for a pre-season training camp. The centre-back has been expected to leave the club this summer, despite penning a new three-year deal towards the start of the 2024/25 campaign. A statement from Southampton said: "Everyone at Southampton Football Club would like to thank Jan for his years of dedication both on and off the pitch and wish him every success in the future."
