Following the culmination of a dramatic final day in the Bundesliga, champions Bayern Munich have turned their attention to the transfer market and specifically one of the league's standout players.
According to Italian outlet ilBiancoNero, Bayern are looking to sign Frankfurt forward and French international Randal Kolo Muani for an estimated €80m (£69m) this summer.
Juventus striker Dusan Vlahovic is another option for Thomas Tuchel up front, and could be available for a similar price.
Why are Bayern Munich looking at Kolo Muani?

Kolo Muani is one of the hottest prospects in European football. At just 24, the striker is on the radar of multiple clubs around Europe as he enters the prime of his career.
It’s not hard to see why Bayern are considering Kolo Muani as their signature signing of this summer window.
The Frenchman is predominantly a No.9, playing as the central striker in Frankfurt’s front three. Kolo Muani has the ability to play both on the left wing and the right wing, and provides both goals and assists to his current Frankfurt side.
Kolo Muani notched 15 goals and 14 assists this season in the Bundesliga for Frankfurt, meaning the 6 foot 1 forward was involved in exactly 50% of the teams goals during the 22/23 campaign.
The Frankfurt frontman also contributed six goals and three assists in the German cup this season and finished as the top goalscorer in the competition.
The striker’s form was rewarded by France manager Didier Deschamps, giving Kolo Muani his international debut in September 2022. So far, the former Nantes player has made six appearances for his country, netting one goal.
Are Bayern Munich likely to sign Kolo Muani?
Having joined Frankfurt from Nantes just last summer for an estimated €16m, Kolo Muani will be a cheap option this summer. The player is contracted to the winners of the 2022 Europa League winners until 2027, so Frankfurt will have a strong hand in negotiating a hefty fee for the sought-after target.
Bayern have a history of sweeping up talent from within the Bundesliga. Mats Hummels, Mario Gotze and Robert Lewandowski were all signed from title rivals Borussia Dortmund, while defender Dayot Upamencano and Marcel Sabitzer were both signed from RB Leipzig in the same summer transfer window.
It’s part of the reason Bayern have 11 straight Bundesliga titles, and the signing of Kolo Muani could help take Thomas Tuchel’s side to the next level, replacing the aging Thomas Müller and Eric Choupo-Moting up front.

وقال مصدر مقرب من طارق حامد لـ”بطولات”: “الموقف الذي اتخذه طارق حامد بالاعتزال الدولي لم يكن لأسباب فنية وإنما كان لأسباب شخصية في العلاقة بينه وبين روي فيتوريا المدير الفني السابق لمنتخب مصر”.

Derbyshire have appointed John Wright as a specialist T20 head coach – the first English county to do so

Derbyshire have become the first English county to employ a specialist T20 head coach. Contemporary thinking, though, has rarely seemed more of a throwback as they have turned to John Wright, the former New Zealand Test batsman, who first set foot in Derbyshire nearly 40 years ago.Wright, 62, is steeped in experience with coaching spells for India for five years from 2000 and his native New Zealand as well as guiding Mumbai Indians to the IPL title in 2013. He currently has a scouting role with Mumbai Indians.Specialist T20 coaches have been logistically unappealing in England because the NatWest Blast has stretched over three months of the season. But the competition is back in a tighter block for 2017 and Derbyshire have been quick to take advantage.After a dismal 2016 season in which poor T20 form was allied to a failure to win a single match in the second division of the Championship, they now hope that Wright’s know-how, and love for the area, can bring a change of fortune in the shortest format.Chris Grant, Derbyshire’s chairman, said: “We’re delighted to secure a coach of John’s quality and experience for this crucial role. It’s a unique position amongst the 18 counties in England, but it is not uncommon amongst teams in the major international Twenty20 competitions like the Big Bash, IPL and CPL.”It’s a high-priority that we improve our Twenty20 performances and the new model allows John to give the NatWest T20 Blast competition his complete focus.”Wright, who scored almost 15,000 runs for Derbyshire between 1977 and 1988, will join them in mid-June.Derbyshire have already looked backwards in an attempt to move forwards. Kim Barnett, a former captain a generation ago, is their new director of cricket and has trust in Wright’s methods.”We could not have secured anybody with higher pedigree than John to fill this new role,” Barnett said. “He has won the IPL with the Mumbai Indians, been an international coach and was a great player at Derbyshire.”I could not be more pleased to get him back on board here and work with him. He is a fantastic strategist and will give us a lot of expertise technically and tactically.”Wright’s genial manner enabled him to cope with the cultural challenge of being India’s first overseas coach.But it is his scouting knowledge that will also appeal to Derbyshire as they seek value from their overseas signings and, indeed, seek to identify unproven English players with T20 potential. Barnett, who does not delegate without good reason, will give Wright total freedom to design his squad as he sees fit.

An update has emerged on Glasgow Rangers and their efforts to add to their wide options in the upcoming summer transfer window…
What's the latest on Brian Gutierrez to Rangers?
According to the Daily Mail, the Light Blues are one of the teams keeping tabs on Chicago Fire starlet Brian Gutierrez with a view to a possible swoop.
The report claims that a number of Premier League sides, including Manchester United, have taken an interest in the 19-year-old talent, whose performances have caught the eye of clubs in Europe.
Although, it is stated that a work permit would be difficult to achieve for the ace and that could rule out a move to England, with RB Leipzig and Borussia Dortmund among the other teams set to challenge the Gers for his signature.
What is Brian Gutierrez's style of play?
The teenager is a creative forward who predominantly plays on the left wing and is also often deployed as an attacking midfielder and this suggests that the dynamo could be Michael Beale's dream heir to Ryan Kent.
Rangers lost the English winger at the end of last month, when his contract at Ibrox expired, and this has left a hole in the squad that needs to be filled ahead of the 2023/24 campaign.
Former Rangers forward Ryan Kent.
In 22/23, Kent produced three goals and ten assists in 44 appearances in all competitions for the Gers and was able to showcase his creative quality out wide.
The former Liverpool man produced 2.2 key passes per game in the Scottish Premiership and this shows that he was able to regularly open up the opposition's defence to provide his teammates with opportunities to score.
Beale could now unearth his new Kent by securing a deal to sign Gutierrez ahead of the likes of Dortmund and Leipzig as the teenager has shown terrific potential during his time in the MLS with the Fire so far.
The 19-year-old has provided 15 key passes and created four 'big chances' for his teammates in 12 MLS starts in 2023 and this comes after he racked up 26 key passes and five 'big chances' created in 20 starts in 2022.
Gutierrez, who MLS announcer Max Bretos hailed as "special", has also excelled in the US Open Cup and caught the eye by creating a stunning 12 chances in three appearances in the competition in 2022 and 2023 combined.
These statistics show that the wizard, who has only scored two senior club goals, has the potential to be a Kent-like threat for Rangers on the left wing by consistently opening up the opposition with his passing and crossing quality to provide his teammates with chances to score.
At the age of 19, the gem could be a long-term heir to the Englishman and a player who Beale could work with over the course of number of seasons, though, instead of coming in with the expectation of immediately hitting the ground running.
An immense record – the highest partnership in all first-class cricket – was under threat at the Wankhede Stadium, until Maharashtra declared their innings with Swapnil Gugale and Ankit Bawne’s stand on 594
Shashank Kishore14-Oct-2016 Scorecard1:17
Mixed feelings about missing out on record – Gugale
An immense record – the highest partnership in all first-class cricket – could have been broken at the Wankhede Stadium if Swapnil Gugale, Maharashtra’s stand-in captain, had been aware of what he and Ankit Bawne were on the verge of achieving. Their third-wicket stand of 594 was just 30 short of Kumar Sangakkara and Mahela Jaywardene’s record, when Gugale declared Maharashtra’s inningsMaharashtra had amassed 635 for 2 before the captain – Gugale was leading the team for the first time – decided to give his bowlers five overs at the Delhi batsmen before stumps. He had struck his maiden triple-century – his 351 was the seventh highest score in the Ranji Trophy – and Bawne’s 258 was his first double-century.Gugale said he was made aware of how close they were only after he switched on his phone after play. “I had nearly 100 missed calls and 200 messages,” he told ESPNcricinfo. “It was only as I went through them one by one did I realise we were 30-odd short of the world-record partnership in first-class cricket. So there’s a tinge of regret. Maybe I could have declared after the record, but the decision was mine alone so I can’t complain.”Maharashtra had begun the second morning on 290 for 2 with Gugale and Bawne – on 152 and 120 – having added 249 on the first day. By the end of the innings, Gugale had batted 521 minutes and struck 37 fours and five sixes, while Bawne batted 500 minutes, hitting 18 fours and two sixes. They had added 345 on the second day.” (The Delhi team asked us, ‘aren’t you bored? We are bored of bowling to you guys.’ I said, ‘who gets bored of batting?'”This is a batting beauty to be honest,” Gugale said of the surface. “If you can see off the new ball, batting is a lot easier. If we could bat 170 odd overs, I’m sure we have to be prepared to bowl at least 120 overs. That said, scorecard pressure is a different thing. As a batsman, noticing 600 runs on the scoreboard, it is always in the back of your mind. Even if you are playing, you obviously have to score at a proper rate and that’s not easy on this track. It is a third-day track, you never know when the ball might spin or bounce.”Gugale and Bawne batted together for close to nine hours and put on the highest partnership in the Ranji Trophy, surpassing Vijay Hazare and Gul Mohammad’s 577 for Baroda against Holkar in the 1946-47 final. They had begun with Maharashtra 41 for 2 in the first hour after opting to bat. Gugale also joined Hazare, BB Nimbhalkar and Kedar Jadhav to become only the fourth triple centurion for Maharashtra.It was a significant knock given the circumstances. Gugale had made 11 and 25 in a six-wicket loss to Jharkhand in their Ranji Trophy opener last week, and Maharashtra’s captain Jadhav was unavailable for the second round after being picked in India’s ODI squad for the series against New Zealand. Maharashtra didn’t have a ready replacement. Rohit Motwani, who led them to the final in 2013-14 and to the semi-final a season later, had fallen out of favour.”I was told of the captaincy on the eve of the game,” Gugale said. ” I have a good previous record as captain at Under-19 and Under-25 level. It was a proud feeling as I was not expecting this considering I’m still less than 20 matches old. It was very early. I’ve been a regular for just three seasons. I was surprised, but very happy. Maybe I’ll realise the pressures of captaining only when we are out on the field making things happen. For now it’s all too pleasant.”Frustration has been a common theme in Gugale and Bawne’s careers. From once being considered certainties for India U-19, both were surpassed by their contemporaries. Gugale missed selection in 2010 despite scorching the age-group circuit while Bawne, set to captain India at the 2012 Under-19 World Cup, was pulled out because of a discrepancy in his age, which he says was because of carelessness of the agent who got him his passport. Since then, while they have gone on to make careers with Maharashtra, they have not had any higher recognition.On Friday, Gugale said “everything changed.””I hope this knock pushed me onto the next level in the first-class scene,” he said. “It’s an unbelievable feeling. As cricketers, you want to be recognised. But it’s only when you are recognised that it sinks in. So I’m enjoying this attention. My family and friends have gone crazy. I heard our feat was talked about a lot on Twitter too. The phone hasn’t stopped buzzing. It feels like I’m celebrating Diwali one month early.”
Manchester United were "interested" in a move for William Saliba before the defender agreed to a new contract at Arsenal, according to journalist Fabrice Hawkins.
Is William Saliba staying at Arsenal?
The defender has become a key part of the Gunners' side this year and very nearly helped his club to a Premier League title. Ultimately, the side had to settle for second-place but it was a breakout year for the centre-back, who featured for Arsenal more than ever before in the 2022/23 campaign. He played on 27 occasions for them in the league and even managed two goals and an assist along the way.
In addition, his abilities for the Gunners in their backline made him stand out as one of the best in his position amongst the Men's 'Top Five' big leagues in Europe. His non-penalty goal rate of 0.10 per 90 for example put him in the top nine percent of CBs and his pass completion rate of 91.1% per 90 put him within the 93rd percentile in that figure too.
It shows the Frenchman has come on leaps and bounds this term for Arsenal and has become a player that the side can rely on with the ball at his feet to spread play around and start attacks from deep.
Arsenal'sWilliamSaliba
Having impressed in the Premier League this season then, it's no wonder that Arsenal have now moved quickly to agree fresh terms with Saliba. However, it appears there was interest from elsewhere in taking him on a deal this summer. According to a report from journalist Fabrice Hawkins, Man United were sniffing around the defender. It appears that he was on their wanted list – and Bayern Munich's – but has since committed his future to the Gunners.
Saliba may have set United back a pretty penny too if they had moved for him after his displays for Arsenal. CIES Football Observatory suggest his value is somewhere around the 80 million Euro mark (or £68m), which means the defender could have been an expensive but potentially worthwhile signing for the Red Devils.
How good is Saliba?
The defender has certainly become a reliable option at the back this campaign, with the player coming in for high praise from all angles. Football journalist Josh Bunting for example labelled him as the "perfect player" for breaking lines and added that he had made a "very impressive" debut at the World Cup back in 2022.
He's certainly a defender that likes to get on the ball and to make things happen with it despite his defensive responsibilities. Tagged on to his impressive goal-getting stats, he's also in the top 17% of centre-backs for expected assists.
Saliba then could have made a very good addition to a United backline known for playing out from the back under Erik ten Hag. However, it appears his future is now tied up with Arsenal.
Western Australia captain Adam Voges has suffered concussion after being struck on the helmet during a Sheffield Shield match against Tasmania at the WACA

Western Australia captain Adam Voges suffered concussion after being struck on the helmet on the first day of the Sheffield Shield match against Tasmania at the WACA. Voges was not taken to hospital but was ruled out of the rest of the match after retiring hurt on 16 when he failed to evade a bouncer from fast bowler Cameron Stevenson and was hit on the helmet.Voges lay on the ground for some time after the blow, and was assisted from the ground by medical staff before being monitored in the change-rooms. Earlier this year, Voges suffered a freak head injury while playing county cricket for Middlesex, when he was fielding at slip and was hit on the back of the head by a ball being thrown back towards the wicketkeeper after a boundary.After his failures in the first two Tests against South Africa, Voges loomed as a likely candidate to be axed for the third Test in Adelaide, and was hoping for a big innings against Tasmania to press his case for retention. At the time when he was struck, Voges was trying to rebuild the Western Australia innings after a shaky start in which they slumped to 3 for 15.Opener Cameron Bancroft, who could have made a strong case for Test selection with a big innings, was caught behind off Simon Milenko for 2, and the prolific Michael Klinger edged Jackson Bird to slip on 5. The loss of Voges left Western Australia effectively at 5 for 59, but a 117-run stand between Ashton Turner and Sam Whiteman provided some respectability.Turner scored his maiden first-class century and finished with 110, and Whiteman managed 54, before the Warriors were bowled out for 262. Tasmania lost both their openers before stumps and finished the day on 2 for 60, with Alex Doolan on 18 and nightwatchman Bird on 6.

وكانت أزمة لاعب الأهلي الحالي محمود عبد المنعم كهربا قد اشتعلت بعد صدور حكم ضده من جانب الاتحاد الدولي لكرة القدم “فيفا”، بسداد مبلغ مليوني دولار لصالح الزمالك.
وقال أحمد سليمان في تصريحات عبر قناة “إم بي سي مصر”: “الزمالك أصبح يقدم مستوى فنيًا ثابتًا مع جوزيه جوميز، أمامنا مباراة مقبلة مع الفريق الأنجولي لو حققنا الفوز سنصل للنقطة 16 وهذا لم يحدث في تاريخ نادي الزمالك”.
