Eberl comments on departure rumors involving Kim, Coman, Boey and Zaragoza
Bayern Munich could offload a number of players this summer, with Minjae Kim, Kingsley Coman, Sacha Boey, and Bryan Zaragoza among those potentially on the move.
Speaking at Bayern's training camp in Orlando ahead of the Club World Cup, Bayern board member for sport Max Eberl addressed speculation over the futures of the quartet.

On Minjae Kim, Eberl noted that the South Korean international will need to 'push through' amid stiff competition in central defense once he fully recovers from Achilles tendon issues that have sidelined him for some time.
'Minjae is struggling a bit with his Achilles tendon. But we were never at a point where he would have risked his health. We have everything well under control. Now he says he really wants to get healthy. He will start training in the next few days. Then we will be very well set up in defense. Minjae has to push through.'
Regarding Kingsley Coman, who has been linked with a move away for some time, Eberl stressed that his situation will be evaluated after the Club World Cup.
'King is with us. He is a player who has done great things for FC Bayern over the years. He is now physically very, very stable. His Achilles tendon has often caused problems, preventing him from playing a full season. Hopefully, he will now contribute to us going as far as possible at the Club World Cup. Then we will see how the squad planning looks overall.'

As for Sacha Boey and Bryan Zaragoza, Eberl signaled more openly that their futures may lie elsewhere.
'With Konny (Konrad Laimer), Stani (Josip Stanisic), and Sacha, we have three right-backs. That's quite a lot in fact. Now Sacha is here, and he will play for us. After that, we will see what the future looks like. But having three right-backs is definitely a luxury," Eberl said.
With Zaragoza, who spent last season out on loan at Osasuna, Bayern are 'open to a transfer', he clearly stated.
"Bryan had a very, very good phase at Osasuna until his injury. He was called up for the Spanish national team. That shows quality.'

Report: Wirtz successfully completes medical checks with Liverpool
Germany's Florian Wirtz (L) and France's Manu Kone stand on the pitch after the UEFA Nations League soccer match between Germany and France at Stuttgart Arena. Federico Gambarini/dpa Bayer Leverkusen playmaker Florian Wirtz has successfully completed medical checks with Liverpool, broadcasters Sky reported on Friday. He's now expected to sign a deal with the Premier League champions until 2030. Advertisement The deal for the young forward could be worth up to €150 million ($172.74 million) including bonuses, making Wirtz the most expensive signing in Bundesliga and Premier League history. Only Paris Saint-German's moves for Neymar and Kylian Mbappe have ever carried a higher transfer fee. The Germany international had been a major target for top European clubs, including Leverkusen's Bundesliga rivals Bayern Munich.

Jim Bob Cooter weighs in on progress this offseason from Indianapolis Colts WR AD Mitchell
By all accounts, Indianapolis Colts' second-year wide receiver AD Mitchell has had a very strong showing throughout the team's offseason programs. "AD's had an exciting start to the offseason," said offensive coordinator Jim Bob Cooter. "He's really been playing good football out there. Getting open, making catches." Advertisement Even through the ups and downs that Mitchell experienced as a rookie, what also stood out was his ability to get open and create separation, particularly against man coverage. With Mitchell's combination of speed and route-running abilities, he can be a very difficult matchup. However, overshadowing that playmaking potential in Year 1 were the miscues. Dropped passes, wrong or mistimed routes, and not being on the same page with the quarterback were all too prevalent. This resulted in Mitchell catching just 45% of his 51 targets and a lack of playing time and opportunities as well. There were some weeks where, by snap count, he was the fifth wideout on the Colts' depth chart. So the big thing for Mitchell as he enters Year 2 is finding that consistency. Advertisement "It's a consistency thing," Cooter added. "Like Shane's talked about with our offense, with our team, with a lot of our guys. Attacking each day with consistency, going out there if you're AD Mitchell and you have some really good ability to go get open and make great catches, well, that's going to be the expectation, day in and day out." Year 2 is often when we see NFL players make the biggest developmental jump. For one, there is the comfort and confidence that comes with having an NFL season under their belt, but they also have a full offseason to work on their craft, rather than focusing on the pre-draft process. Even in a crowded Colts' receiver room that also includes Michael Pittman, Josh Downs, and Alec Pierce, if Mitchell can take a step forward this season and find that consistency, more opportunities will come--in snaps, targets, and in the type of routes he's asked to run--because his skill set, and how he can stress various levels of the field, can add another element to this Colts' passing game. "He's done a really nice job," Cooter added. "He's had a great attitude attacking this spring. He's had some opportunities in practice, and he's made the most of those things, and those will keep coming."

(Photo by) A key factor in Inter's efforts to sign Rasmus Hojlund is their attempt to secure an initial loan deal. Even after his two tough campaigns at Old Trafford, Manchester United will want a high fee for Hojlund. Advertisement Therefore, Inter are hoping to sign the Dane on an initial loan deal. This could contain a purchase option, or an obligation to sign the player permanently under certain conditions. The Nerazzurri have been working to wear United down on the loan idea in negotiations. However, so far, the Red Devils have not yet opened up to the idea of loaning out Hojlund. Their intention is to sell the Danish international outright this summer.
