Vancouver Whitecaps seeking to sign Thomas Müller
Vancouver Whitecaps are seeking to sign Thomas Müller and bring him to MLS, according to reports from Tom Bogert and Ben Jacobs. The Canadian MLS club are currently in discussions with FC Cincinnati to buy the players' discovery rights. This will then allow the Whitecaps to start negotiations with Müller. The Whitecaps are planning to offer the Bayern Munich legend a contract until 2026, but FC Cincinnati are currently demanding a high sum for the sale of the discovery rights. Before any talks with Müller, the Whitecaps will need these rights. For some time, LAFC were considered the favourites to sign Müller as they're the partner club to Bayern. However, the Canadian-based club are now truly in the poker. What Are Discovery Rights? In MLS, discovery rights allow clubs to register up to seven players who aren't currently playing in the league. The rights give them exclusive negotiating rights, meaning no other clubs can come in a steal any potential deal. The rule is in place to try to stop overspending on talents outside the league. In this case, Cincinnati currently holds the rights, meaning the Whitecaps must first go to them before getting the chance to sign Müller. GGFN | Jamie Allen

FCB move close? Slot confirms: Díaz left out amid transfer rumours!
A possible transfer of Luis Díaz to FC Bayern is getting closer! The first indication was that Liverpool coach Arne Slot did not include the Colombian in the squad for today's test match against AC Milan. Everyone quickly agreed: This must be due to the numerous rumors of his departure! Slot confirmed this thesis shortly after the final whistle and explained in an interview: "Yes, Luis Diaz was left out today due to speculation about his future". This is consistent with a report by Colombian journalist Pipe Sierra, who reports that a Díaz transfer could happen in the next few days. The Reds are reportedly demanding a transfer fee of 75 to 80 million euros. The Bayern bosses want to place their second offer in exactly that amount. The English champions have now agreed to sell Díaz if a suitable offer is made. The reason: Liverpool needs further income to finance a deal with desired player Alexander Isak. Despite the signing of Hugo Ekitiké, the LFC wants to make another move in the center of the attack. The FC Bayern could now benefit from this situation and secure Díaz in the coming days!

Bayern Munich have lost their appeal! Why Bundesliga champions missed out on Florian Wirtz to Liverpool explained by club legend Oliver Kahn
Wirtz signed for Liverpool for British transfer record fee Was heavily linked to Bayern as well Kahn explains why youngster chose a move to England Follow GOAL on WhatsApp! 🟢📱 WHAT HAPPENED? Legendary former goalkeeper Kahn tried to explain why Bayern Munich were snubbed by Wirtz in favour of a move to Liverpool. The Bayer Leverkusen man was heavily linked with the Bavarians over the years, but ultimately decided to move to the Premier League for a British transfer record fee of £116 million (€135m/$157m). THE BIGGER PICTURE Wirtz's father, Hans-Joachim, explained that a call with Liverpool boss Arne Slot made all the difference, with the 22-year-old impressed with the Dutch manager's sporting vision. Moreover, Bayern sporting director Max Eberl conceded in June that they were not in a position to match the financial muscle of the Reds. It is understood that Liverpool's project and Bayern's comparatively weaker financial power led to the Bundesliga champions missing out on their most sought-after transfer target. WHAT OLIVER KAHN SAID Speaking to Sky Sport in Germany, Kahn said: "I don't know if you should break it down to the club issue. I think you should first break it down to the league issue. I don't know if that's a problem for FC Bayern or a problem for the Bundesliga itself. Because if I'm a player, the Premier League is the most attractive league. Sportingly, economically, and media-wise, too. It has completely different marketing opportunities, even globally. That's the first thing I would consider as a player. "And if you think about it, 'Okay, I'm going to FC Bayern and then becoming German champions for the 15th, 16th, 17th time, is that really so appealing to me?' Of course, winning the Champions League is always incredibly appealing. There are a lot of thoughts that a young player has. Then, of course, the team comes into play at some point. You think about which team, which system, which coach I'm a better fit for. I didn't think about it so much before. For me, there was only one club back then. That was Bayern Munich. "But you see how times change. I experienced it myself when I was in charge, always with the players, how much thought they put into any career move. It's almost nothing to do with gut feeling anymore. A huge number of things are analyzed, and then a decision is made. The final decision is still a bit of a gut feeling. But the amount of thought that goes into it is quite astonishing. "FC Bayern have won the German championship 12 times in 13 years. Is it really still a motivation to become German champions for the 13th or 14th time? But of course, there are many things, even if you talk about turnover. Many coaches have come and gone. With that, the philosophies and ideas have changed again and again. The squad. It always feels like a constant roster shake-up. "All of that naturally creates a kind of unrest. And I'm self-critical enough, don't get me wrong. During my time, this very issue of continuity in all areas, I would have liked to have done better. But that's something that many players then say, including coaches, by the way, I have to think about very carefully." WHAT NEXT FOR FLORIAN WIRTZ? The German international made his unofficial debut for his new team last weekend as Liverpool beat Stoke 5-0 in a pre-season outing. He is expected to be in the starting XI for the next summer friendly, which takes place on July 26 against AC Milan.

The 25-year-old Lohmann, currently playing at the Euros, has won four Frauen-Bundesliga titles in a nine-year spell at the Bavarian club, including a domestic double last season. Lohmann has made 167 appearances for Bayern and scored 31 goals since making her Bundesliga debut in 2017. She has 39 caps after her 2018 debut, helping Germany win bronze at the 2024 Olympics and finish runners-up at Euro 2022. "I'm really thankful for the time at Bayern Munich and I'm happy that I gained those experiences, but I think always when you go somewhere else, a big step like that, it's always good for your personal growth," Lohmann said in a statement. City finished fourth in the WSL last season on 43 points, 17 behind champions Chelsea and outside the Champions League spots. "I definitely want to win a title, because I can see that's possible," added Lohmann. "I think things have probably been quite tough in the last few months or year and everyone is really hungry to do better." (Reporting by Shifa Jahan in Bengaluru; Editing by Ken Ferris)
