Transfer news LIVE: Barcelona ‘join race' for Sesko, Liverpool open to offers for Diaz, Everton consider Stones approach
The first time was so nice...
...Bayern might have to do it twice!
According to Football Insider, Bayern Munich are looking to go shopping at Crystal Palace once again this summer.
Michael Olise made the switch from south London to Munich last summer, and has been a revelation for the German side, as they recaptured the Bundesliga title from Bayer Leverkusen.
With Florian Wirtz likely to be on his way to Liverpool, Bayern now turn their attention to other targets, with Eberechi Eze a potential target for the side.
The success of Olise may play a part in their decision, as the pair linked up very well at Palace last season.

Liverpool star will NOT be part of potential Florian Wirtz deal as Reds prepare record bid with negotiations with Bayer Leverkusen ongoing
A Liverpool star will not be part of any potential deal for Florian Wirtz as the Reds prepare a record bid for the midfielder. Liverpool remain in negotiations with Bayer Leverkusen over a deal for Wirtz. Bayer want £120million and Liverpool are at £109m but Wirtz has made it clear he wants the move. The Germany star has been convinced by Arne Slot 's clear plan of where he will play in Liverpool's set-up as a No 10. Should the Reds accede to Bayer's demands, Wirtz would become the most expensive signing in British football, overtaking the £115m Chelsea paid Brighton for Moises Caicedo. Some reports had suggested that a Reds star would be part of the deal, but that won't be happening, with a cash-only deal on the table. That player is Harvey Elliott, who has suggested his future could lay away from Anfield. If that is to happen, however, the destination won't be Leverkusen. Richard Hughes, Liverpool's Sporting Director, has proposed a package to his Leverkusen counterpart Simon Rolfes with easily attainable performance-related bonuses, such as Champions League qualification but the clubs are yet to agree a final fee. Former Manchester United boss Erik ten Hag was appointed Leverkusen's new head coach last week after Xabi Alonso departed to take charge of Real Madrid. Ten Hag has been out of work since being sacked by United in October but has wasted little time in looking to the Premier League to reshape his new squad. It's widely been accepted that Wirtz won't be part of that squad, but a deal with Liverpool is yet to be agreed after the player himself made it clear he wanted the Reds instead of Manchester City or Bayern Munich. 'I think it's been a lot more difficult for me because I obviously had that injury at the start,' Elliott told Liverpool Echo in April. 'But at the same time, you need to be here for the team, work as hard as you can and when the opportunities come on the pitch. 'A lot of times this season it's almost been [coming on] when we've been losing or drawing, so it is about trying to change the game, try and turn it around and have a positive impact. But, you know, any minutes for Liverpool are amazing.' 'I hope that I can push on. This is my team, I am committed to them and it's just a situation that is always going to have a lot of talk, I just need to think about what is best for my future, my career and as much as I want it to be here.' If Elliott is to leave, though, it will be in a separate deal to the one involving Wirtz. Arne Slot has also spoken to Rayan Cherki but the midfielder was viewed as a back-up option to Wirtz. Liverpool are also aware of interest from Al Nassr for winger Luis Diaz but have yet to receive an official approach. Wirtz, meanwhile, has taken to social media to hit out at the German press after one reporter suggested the forward would be looking to take Alexis Mac Allister's No 10 shirt should the move go through. 'Who says I want the 10,' Wirtz posted to his 3.3million Instagram followers. 'I respect players.' He added: 'Don't believe everything what's written,' accompanied by a clown emoji.

Brittany Lang joins U.S. as assistant captain for Solheim Cup
June 3 - The U.S. Solheim Cup team added Brittany Lang as captain Angela Stanford's third assistant captain for the 2026 competition. Stanford already had Kristy McPherson and Paula Creamer on her staff and now adds Lang, who competed in five Solheim Cups from 2009-17 and was part of three winning teams. This will be Lang's first time as an assistant captain. "I am beyond honored and excited to be asked to be an assistant captain of the U.S. Solheim Cup Team in 2026," Lang said in a statement. "I've played a lot of Solheim Cups with Angela, Kristy and Paula, and I'm excited to work alongside them to lead the American Team to victory in the Netherlands next September. This is probably one of the highest honors I've had in my career. I'm excited to learn, to help and to experience the atmosphere as an assistant captain." Lang, who earned full LPGA Tour playing privileges in 2006, won twice in her LPGA career. Her biggest achievement came in 2016 when she captured the U.S. Women's Open in a three-hole playoff against Sweden's Anna Nordqvist - the European Solheim Cup captain. The 2026 Solheim Cup will be played at Bernardus Golf in the Netherlands. The U.S. team is the defending champion. --Field Level Media

Dean Harrison claims ‘one of most popular victories in Isle of Man TT history'
Dean Harrison ended his six-year wait for a fourth win at the Isle of Man TT, securing 'one of the most popular victories' in Tuesday's rain-delayed Supersport TT. Harrison had endured a run of 14 podium finishes without victory since his last win in the 2019 Senior TT, having had to play second fiddle to both Davey Todd and Michael Dunlop this week as well as Peter Hickman in recent years. But the 36-year-old crossed the finish line to a huge ovation to clinch a victory, by 11.656 seconds, over Todd and come within touching distance of Hickman's all-time lap record of 16min 36.115sec. Hickman achieved an average speed of 136.358 mph, which Harrison threatened with a second lap average speed of 135.692mph. 'Honestly I got the hammer down from the start and read my pit boards and got P1 at the first and P2 and just dig deep. The bike was really good, I changed a few things and the bike worked so well,' he said. 'I've had a third and a second, so I've got three, two, one now and a TT win is just magic. I can't thank the team enough, they've worked hard all week and we've been up and down and all sorts, it's unbelievable. To battle for the win is just fantastic.' We all felt that one... 🥺 And the first Honda win in a decade... ❤💙 — Isle of Man TT Races (@ttracesofficial) June 3, 2025 Harrison secured Honda Racing's first victory at the TT in more than a decade, with the Japanese works team having not tasted success since John McGuinness's famous 2015 Senior victory. 'Them lot being happy makes me happy, I can't thank them all enough,' Harrison added. 'It's been a long time coming and I'm four times a TT winner, which is a big thing for me. I'm over the moon.' The win was hailed by many on the island, with both Todd and Dunlop paying tribute to Harrison's success and 14-time sidecar TT winner Tom Birchall declaring the win 'one of the most popular victories in the history of the TT'. With the race initially scheduled for 10:45am on Tuesday, overnight rain and further showers meant all racing was delayed until the evening's contingency session, with the Superstock TT reduced from three laps to two, meaning riders would not be required to pit. That favoured the famously fast-starting Harrison, but it was Todd straight out of the gate. The 8Ten Racing BMW rider could only get his lead out to a couple of seconds though, and by the end of the first lap, the gap was only 0.4 seconds and Harrison had taken the lead by the time they reached Glen Helen on lap two. The win adds to Harrison's previous successes in the 2014 Lightweight TT, and the Supersport and Senior races in 2018 and 2019 respectively. Dunlop came home behind Todd in a distant third, and admitted his MD Racing BMW was blighted by an issue from the moment he left the start line. 'We ended up with an electronics issue, went off the line and it seemed to stick in launch control for some reason, and then the blipper stopped working and was intermittent, which caused us a bit of pain,' Dunlop said. 'But in fairness to Dean, fair play to him. I knew Dean would be great the first lap. My first lap was horrific, not knowing when the bike was blipping and when it wasn't blipping. Two-lap races, I struggle a wee bit with them.' Despite the tricky conditions, Harrison was not the only rider to set his fastest-ever lap around the island, with Ian Hutchinson, Dominic Herbertson, James Hind and Mikey Evans all setting personal bests. Later in the evening, Dunlop claimed his 31st victory by continuing his grip on the Supertwin TT class, taking a comfortable win by 22.673 seconds over local rider Evans, who clinched the first podium of his career – on his birthday – alongside fellow first-time rostrum finisher Rob Hodson.
