Bayern Munich is getting some work done with its contract negotiations, but there has been no progress made on a new deal for Leroy Sané.
The veteran winger is not sweating it just yet, though, as he is aware that deals for Alphonso Davies and Jamal Musiala have taken precedence at this point:
There is still no offer from Bayern for Leroy Sané. But he remains relaxed, as other personnel matters were and are more urgent (Davies, Musiala). Sané sees his future in Munich anyway. There may be a meeting in the next few weeks.
Sané is not a sure bet to get a new contract, but it does feel as if Bayern Munich will be open to bringing him back at a reduced rate. Given that Musiala considers Sané as one of his best pals, backing from the club’s new figurehead might not hurt the winger’s chances to get himself a new contract.

According to this report, Chelsea FC tried to step in and steal Mathys Tel before he decided on taking the loan assignment to Tottenham Hotspur:
Chelsea are reported to have failed with a late attempt to hijack Mathys Tel’s loan switch to Tottenham Hotspur on transfer deadline day.
The Blues have long chased Tel’s signature and sprung into action when the young forward decided to leave Bayern Munich late in the winter window, but it is believed Tel declined a move to Chelsea amid fears he would not be given significant minutes under Enzo Maresca.
Tottenham, after failing with an initial approach to convince Tel to join permanently, struck a deal to sign the 19-year-old on a loan which includes the option for a summer transfer, but L’Equipe state they had to fend off another late bid from Chelsea.
It is claimed that, shortly before Tel boarded the plane over to London, Chelsea made contact with his representatives once again, only to be rebuffed by the French forward.
There have been rumors swirling around Real Madrid star Rodrygo for months now, but could the Spanish power really be ready to sell the attacker this summer? Maybe:

Bayern Munich attacker Gabriel Vidović might not just function as a back-up with the first team. The 21-year-old could also get some time to Bayern Munich II to shake off any rust he has accumulated:
In addition to being a back-up in the first team, Gabriel Vidović is expected to make occasional appearances for the second team in the Regionalliga in order to get match practice, especially now that he’s just recovered from a long-term ankle injury.
The rumored transfer of Arianna Caruso went through. Below are some quotes from the move:
Francisco De Sá Fardilha, FC Bayern Women’s technical director: “Arianna is a complete midfielder who’s good defensively but also has qualities on the ball. That’s very important for our style of play. We’re delighted to have signed such a good player in a short space of time who also beings leadership qualities and experience.”
Arianna Caruso: “The move to Bayern is a great opportunity for me. I’ve made the right decision. Bayern is a club with great history. I’m delighted to be here and bolster the team. I’m sure that I can develop further here and will have many great experiences. I think I can enrich the team with my character and contribute to us achieving our goals. I’ve played against Bayern three times this season with Juventus and liked the style of play and the way the coach set up the team. I can’t wait to be out on the pitch for Bayern.”
Bayern Munich continues to be top of the league this season; they beat the plucky underdogs of the Bundesliga, Holstein Kiel, but struggled massively at the end; they kept their six point lead over Bayer Leverkusen. Performances on the pitch are coming under scrutiny due to defensive problems. What should Bayern do about the backline? What is going on in Bayern’s January transfer window? We try to shed light on these questions in the Flagship and more:

- Why does Bayern want to get rid of Mathys Tel?
