Bayern Munich take interest in Brighton's Kaoru Mitoma
Bundesliga record champions FC Bayern Munich are reportedly eyeing up Brighton & Hove Albion winger Kaoru Mitoma as a potential replacement for departing German winger Leroy Sané. This claim has been made by German transfer expert Christian Falk of Sport Bild on the Bayern Insider Podcast. Falk claims that FCB scouts have traveled to East Sussex several times to scout the 27-times-capped Japanese international. The current Bundesliga champions explore the possibility of acquiring the 28-year-old from his Premier League side for a price tag of €40-45m. Advertisement Falk also reports that Bayern's interest in Marseille winger Luis Henrique is unlikely to yield anything. The Brazilian attacker, per Falk, appears more likely to switch to Inter Milan. Mitoma scored ten goals and contributed three assists in 35 EPL appearances for the Seagulls this season and can actually play a wide variety of attacking positions. Mitoma's technical ability, pace, and dynamism render him one of the more interesting players to watch in the English top flight. GGFN | Peter Weis

Kompany: Bayern won't make things easier for Hoffenheim
Munich coach Vincent Kompany gestures during the German Bundesliga soccer match between FC Bayern Munich and Borussia Moenchengladblach at Allianz Arena. Tom Weller/dpa Bayern Munich have clinched the Bundesliga title in advance, but coach Vincent Kompany stressed that his team won't make things easier for Hoffenheim in the final matchday of the season. "We've won the title with lots of hard work and can't give any opponents the gift of allowing them a good afternoon against us," Kompany said in a news conference. Advertisement Hoffenheim are not fully safe from possible relegation. They are three points ahead of Heidenheim in the relegation play-off spot and have a superior goal difference of six. Kompany gave the squad a few days days off after the game against Borussia Mönchengladbach on Saturday and some Bayern players have reportedly taken a trip to the Spanish holiday island of Ibiza. Thomas Müller, Harry Kane and goalkeeper Manuel Neuer were among 13 players who according to the Bild paper had made the trip on Sunday, after receiving the trophy for the Bundesliga title the previous day. The trip was widely criticized because the season is not over yet, but Kompany said "that was a subject for the media." Advertisement "The subject for me was Hoffenheim and preparing for the game. We've now had the whole week to prepare for this game. We've had a lot of time to prepare. We've had a good week," he said. Bayern players had already planned an Ibiza trip after clinching the title some two weeks ago, but that was stopped by the club because it would set a bad example with the league still in progress. Bayern will officially celebrate the title next Sunday on the Munich city hall balcony - together with the women's team which has clinched a first ever German league and cup double this season. "We're really excited. It was our big goal to bring the Bundesliga back to Munich," Kompany said.

A soccer player celebrates with a beer bath, frozen in time, as captured by an AP photographer
MUNICH, Germany (AP) — Based in Munich, Matthias Schrader has been working for The Associated Press since 2008, covering news and sports, including multiple Olympics and World Cups. Here's what he had to say about this extraordinary this photo? The photo was taken after the last home match of FC Bayern Munich's season. Bayern has once again won the Bundesliga title and received the championship trophy. Traditionally, there are the popular beer showers as part of the celebration. The players showered themselves with wheat beer from 5 litre (1.3 gallon) glasses. How I made this photo My photo was taken when Leroy Sane caught his teammate Jamal Musiala with such a shower. I took the picture with my Sony Alpha 1. The shutter speed was 1/3200 sec at aperture 2.8. As always, it had to be moved very quickly to get ahead of competitors. My colleague Sergei Grits edited the photo directly from the camera and sent the picture to the wire. With success! Why this photo works It's simply the moment. Everyone knows what it's like when you pour water on your face. Standing in the shower. Capturing that thousandth of a moment, freezing it, is something not everyone has in mind. And then with beer, indescribable. A painful waste for any beer lover. For more extraordinary AP photography, click here.

Bayern's Müller considering MLS move but nothing decided yet
Munich's Thomas Mueller celebrates holding the championship trophy after the German Bundesliga soccer match between FC Bayern Munich and Borussia Moenchengladblach at Allianz Arena. Sven Hoppe/dpa Thomas Müller is weighing his options for life after Bayern Munich, including a move to Major League Soccer (MLS), but he is yet to make a decision on his future. Müller, 35, will have his final Bundesliga match on Saturday when champions Bayern visit Hoffenheim, and then the June 14-July 13 Club World Cup in the United States before his time at Bayern comes to an end after 25 years. Advertisement What happens then is not decided yet, as he told Sky TV: "I don't know yet. There is nothing concrete but of course I have ideas. We will keep it exciting." The 2014 World Cup winner would not rule out joining an MLS club, and Müller said he will use the Club World Cup to get a few more ideas. "I think the next few weeks will decide it. We still have the Club World Cup ahead of us, which will be an exciting experience. Of course, I'm also keeping my ears open in the USA," he said. Müller said he had no full strategy concerning his future because "I've never been the type to say: That's my only idea now and that's what we're going to do. Advertisement "There is not this one wish and dream," he said, adding he would try and find out what he is missing. Müller will leave Bayern after the club did not renew his contract. He played his 750th match for them last weekend against Borussia Mönchengladbach and was officially bid farewell in front of the home fans. The forward won more than 30 trophies with Bayern, including a record 13 Bundesliga titles, and trebles in 2013 and 2020.
