Stuttgart take interest in Norwegian attacking midfield talent
Dennis Bayer and Sweden's Sportbladet report that Stuttgart are among the potential suitors for Norwegian attacking midfielder Tobias Fjeld Gulliksen. The Bundesliga outfit continues to prepare for the likely departure of Enzo Millot. Gulliksen has raised his profile at Swedish first division side Djurgårdens IF and could be available for around €5m.
Bayer notes that there are other clubs interested in Gulliksen. Even if the transfer fee appears relatively modest, Stuttgart may wish to keep their outlays low after shelling out a record sum to acquire Stade Rennes fullback Lorenz Assignon.

It is also rumored that Stuttgart wish to fill their needs in the ten slot with Bayern Munich's Paul Wanner. The German-Austrian talent could be procured much cheaper via a loan fee in the six-figures'-range.
There are also some whispers in the rumor mills that the Swabians explore the possibility of bringing former SC Freiburg academy man Noah Darvich back to Baden-Württemberg. The 18-year-old Freiburg-native moved to Barcelona in August 2023 and currently features for the Barça reserves.

Report: Germany debutant Bischof to join Bayern for Club World Cup
(L-R) Germany's Tom Bischof, Thilo Kehrer, David Raum and Robin Koch in action during the final training session of the German national soccer team ahead of Wednesday's UEFA Nations League semi-final match against Portugal. Federico Gambarini/dpa Germany debutant Tom Bischof will reportedly be eligible to join Bayern Munich for the upcoming Club World Cup after the Bundesliga champions agreed to pay a fee to his previous club Hoffenheim. Kicker sports magazine said on Sunday night that Bayern will pay around €300,000 ($342,000) to have the teenager available before July 1. Advertisement The ruling body FIFA has a special transfer window running until Tuesday for the 32 clubs participating at the month-long tournament in the United States which kicks off on Saturday. Players contracts normally end on June 30 and start on July. Bayern have reportedly in a similar way secured the service of Germany defender Jonathan Tah, who arrives on a free transfer from Bayer Leverkusen. But in this case the fee is said to be up to €4 million. Bayern - who are yet to confirm the reports - play their first match at the Club World Cup on Sunday against Auckland City, with Boca Juniors and Benfica their other opponents in the group stage. Midfielder Bischof made his national team debut on Sunday when he came on in the 65th minute for future Munich team-mate in the Nations League match for third place which they lost 2-0 against France. Advertisement Coach Julian Nagelsmann named Bischof "a super lad, a very, very good character." He said it was also noted that Bischof helped the physios clean up their equipment, speaking of "small gestures which I take notice of." "I hope that he retains this normal, down-to-earth mentality" after the move to Munich, Nagelsmann said, speaking of "a very, very big" step. "He has a lot to offer and is a very, very fine footballer. Of course he still has steps to take. But after the week of training, he deserved his debut," Nagelsmann said. "My strong wish is that he stays as normal as possible. Then he also has a great chance of having a good career."

Football transfer rumours: Grealish to Everton? Chelsea to make second Gittens bid?
Gianni Infantino's not-at-all-confusing first transfer window of the summer slams shut at the end of Tuesday, so teams involved in his cherished new Club World Cup are scrambling to complete deals ahead of a tournament they're not sure they care about. Chelsea are reportedly in talks with Borussia Dortmund over the signing of Jamie Gittens. The German club, said to be looking for a fee of upwards of £40m for the winger, have rejected an opening bid from Chelsea of just short of £30m. Bit of a gap to bridge there, then. Gittens, 20, is an England youth international and – as is often the case – spent a period in the Chelsea academy. Chelsea are thought to be delving into their reserves to make a second cash offer. As they aim to close deals for Wolves' Rayan Aït-Nouri and Milan's Tijjani Reijnders, Manchester City are trying their best to offload Jack Grealish before jetting off to the States this week. Everton are said to be interested in the winger, with the club's new owners keen to bring in a stellar name to play alongside other superstars like James Tarkowski, James Garner and Beto when David Moyes' side move into their new stadium this summer. Grealish scored a whopping three goals in 32 appearances in all competitions for City last season, so you get the feeling that he'd fit right in at the prestigious Hill Dickinson Stadium. Advertisement Related: How every Premier League club's summer business is shaping up In the north east, Newcastle are reportedly turning their attention to Brighton's João Pedro in order to bolster their squad to make a better fist of the Champions League this coming campaign. Another of Eddie Howe's attacking targets, Bryan Mbeumo, appears unable to resist the lure of Manchester United, which has left João Pedro as a top target at St James' Park. Surely the clearest evidence that the Brazilian could be on his way is the bid that Brighton are said to have made for Charalampos Kostoulas. Yes, that Charalampos Kostoulas. The 18-year-old Olympiakos striker, who scored six goals in 21 league games last season, has been the subject of a bid worth £34m from the Seagulls. He would be the second teenage Greek forward to move to Brighton this year after Stefanos Tzimas was signed from PAOK in January. Do they know something we don't? Harvey Elliott, who is heading off to the Under-21 European Championship this summer despite being, what, 28 by now, appears to be angling for some more playing time at Liverpool and/or an exit. Elliott made just two league starts for the Premier League champions last season and has said: 'I don't really want to be wasting years on my career because it's a short career. You don't know what's going to happen.' After apparently rejecting a move to Nottingham Forest recently, the midfielder could be more likely to seek his fortune abroad. Let's call it the Scott McTominay effect. Or Jude Bellingham – whatever. Arsenal have spent much of the first window working on tying up a deal for Martín Zubimendi. Real Madrid, as they are wont to do sometimes, are apparently trying to muscle in on these negotiations. The Real Sociedad midfielder has already rejected one move to England, turning down Liverpool last summer. Maybe it's the food. And who can blame him? Advertisement Cristiano Ronaldo is one player who will not be featuring at the Club World Cup. The now two-time Nations League winner has all but confirmed that he will be staying at Al-Nassr. 'Basically nothing is going to change,' the 40-year-old said after Portugal's penalty shootout win against Spain in Munich, once he'd stopped crying obviously. Joining Ronaldo in Saudi Arabia this summer could be Jadon Sancho. Al-Hilal, whose current wide options include the former Barcelona icon Malcom and Saudi Arabia's World Cup hero against Argentina Salem Al-Dawsari, are reportedly pursuing Sancho as well as Liverpool's Luis Díaz, Tottenham's Son Heung-min and Sporting's Viktor Gyökeres. Perhaps these players can be enticed by the prospect of being comfortably beaten but not humiliated by Real Madrid in their Club World Cup opener in Miami. Who knows, maybe they'd even get to meet Gianni.

Werder Bremen among those interested in former Manchester United prospect
Fabrizio Romano reports that Werder Bremen are among the parties interested in former Fulham and Manchester United man Maxi Oyedele. The Bundesliga outfit has plenty of competition for the Legia Warsaw midfielder, who is available via a €6m exit clause in his current contract. Man United sold Oyedele to Legia in August 2024, but were rumored to secure a generous re-sale clause for themselves. Transfermarkt reports that the English Red Devils will receive 40 percent of any sale involving Oyedele. Advertisement The England-born Oyedele has enjoyed success since moving to the country he's opted to represent internationally. The 20-year-old has pumped up his estimated market value from €300,000 to €4m in the Polish Ekstraklasa. Bremen aren't necessarily known for making large purchases, but – thanks to some investor backing – are expected to make some signifiant outlays in the summer transfer market. GGFN | Peter Weis
