Tottenham and Bayern Munich now seek to negotiate new loan for Mathys Tel
Florian Plettenberg reports that Tottenham and Bayern Munich are currently attempting to negotiate a new loan deal for French striker Mathys Tel. Now that the purchase option in Tel's previous loan arrangement has lapsed, the two clubs wish to start from square one. Tel still hasn't officially been recalled early by his Bundesliga club for the coming Club World Cup. Plettenberg doesn't offer up much detail in terms of what the new loan accord might look like. Bayern are known to prefer a permanent sale while Spurs don't wish to purchase the 20-year-old for more than €35m. One assumes that the two sides might seek to build in an automatic purchase option that triggers the set amount if certain performance incentives are met. Advertisement It once appeared to be the case that Bayern definitely wanted Tel back for June's Club World Cup, but the fact that Tel still technically remains under contract in north London until the end of the month means that no final decision has been made. Thus far, Bayern have only secured two early loan recalls ahead of the coming tournament. Left back Adam Aznou (Real Valladolid) and attacking midfielder Maurice Krattenmacher (SSV Ulm 1846) are officially part of the FCB squad for the forthcoming competition. GGFN | Peter Weis

Philippe to Mainz is off
Mainz are already going strong in the transfer window as they signed two players this weekend. However, despite a verbal agreement, Rayan Philippe will not become the 05ers' next signing. Sky's Florian Plettenberg reports that the player is disappointed as he was keen on the move. There was a €2–2.5 million fee reported for the completion of the deal with Eintracht Braunschweig, but the clubs failed to reach common terms following further negotiations. Advertisement Earlier today, Mainz signed Union Berlin's striker Benedict Hollerbach. Including Braunschweig's last goal of the season in their narrow playoff aggregate win that secured the club's 2. Bundesliga status, Philippe scored 14 goals this season. Hamburger SV and Werder Bremen also show interest in the 24-year-old French striker. The 2. Bundesliga outfit will hope to cash in on the player before his contract runs out at the end of next season.

Hugo Ekitike to Liverpool: Arne Slot wants €100m-rated Eintracht Frankfurt striker
Liverpool FC have identified Eintracht Frankfurt's Hugo Ekitike as a potential attacking reinforcement, following earlier links to Florian Wirtz. The Reds are reportedly in early contact with the 22-year-old French striker as part of their summer recruitment strategy. Sky Sport's Florian Plettenberg reports that manager Arne Slot and managing director Michael Edwards have initiated exploratory talks, marking the club's latest move in the Bundesliga market. 🚨🆕 The next big target from the Bundesliga: Understand FC Liverpool are now seriously in the race for Hugo #Ekitike! Talks have taken place. Slot/Edwards keen on him. The biggest rival at the moment: Chelsea. Eintracht Frankfurt have not yet received an offer. Markus Krösche… — Florian Plettenberg (@Plettigoal) May 28, 2025 Ekitike enjoyed a breakthrough season with Eintracht Frankfurt, scoring 15 goals and assisting nine in the 2024–25 campaign. His contributions were instrumental in guiding Frankfurt to their first-ever UEFA Champions League qualification through league placement. Frankfurt are understood to be holding firm on a valuation of €100 million, with sporting director Markus Krösche yet to receive a formal offer from any club. Chelsea are currently seen as Liverpool's main competitor in the race for the striker's signature. This development follows Liverpool's reported interest in Bayer Leverkusen's Florian Wirtz, suggesting a clear focus on young, high-impact Bundesliga talent under Slot's leadership. While no agreement has been reached, Liverpool's strategic approach mirrors their method during past high-profile signings. Ekitike, previously linked with several top European clubs, could represent a long-term attacking option at Anfield. The striker's performances under Dino Toppmöller have drawn praise across Germany, and his potential Premier League switch is expected to be closely monitored over the coming weeks.
