Manchester United is in the midst of an aggressive revamp, but it is lacking that one central figure who can change the complexion of its attack. The Red Devils might have identified the player who can fill that void — Bayern Munich’s Jamal Musiala:

Bayern Munich star Jamal Musiala’s contract runs until 2026, and now top European clubs are interested in the 21-year-old. Furthermore, the latest developments regarding the two sides’ inability to come to terms are good news for rival clubs.

CaughtOffside recently reported that Liverpool have ramped up their interest in Musiala, with Manchester City, Real Madrid, and PSG also monitoring his situation. Additionally, other reports suggest that Barcelona are eyeing Musiala as a potential signing for 2025.

Over the weekend, the Sunday Express revealed that Musiala has turned down Bayern Munich’s latest contract offer. He is said to be seeking wages in the region of £300,000 a week, leaving his future at the club uncertain.

The Mirror provided the latest details on this potential saga as their information reveals that Bayern Munich are struggling to convince Musiala to sign a new contract. As a result, it could catch the attention of both Manchester City and Manchester United.

Erling Haaland might be planning to move from Manchester CIty. FC Barcelona, Real Madrid, and Paris Saint-Germain appear to be possible destinations:

Erling Haaland has made it clear he sees his future away from Manchester City and a bidding war is expected for his services next summer. Barcelona, Real Madrid and Paris Saint-Germain are already working on deals, with the Norway international expected to be available for €120m (£101.3m).

The perfect club for Haaland already exists — Bayern Munich. Let’s follow this plan: Bayern Munich can win a trophy or three this season (fulfilling Harry Kane’s destiny) and the Englishman can move back to England to chase Alan Shearer’s record. Haaland inks a deal for five-years to fill Kane’s boots in Bavaria and we all walk away happy!

That would be great, wouldn’t it?

Bayern Munich will hook up with Werder Bremen in a Bundesliga showdown this weekend, which will showcase the league leaders (Bayern) vs. a squad that has still not taken a loss this season (Werder Bremen).

Let’s take a look at the breakdown for this edition of the Bavarian Podcast Works — Preview Show:

• A look at where each team is in the table and the recent form of each squad.
• What to look for with Werder Bremen, what Bayern Munich connections are there, and why this team is just good enough to maybe be a pain the butt. Oh. and after we talked about how great it was to see Marco Friedl achieving some success, he promptly got served a two-game red card suspension. As they say, timing is everything.
• A guess at Bayern Munich’s starting XI.
• A prediction on the match.

Could Manchester United make a play for Dušan Vlahović? Ruud van Nistelrooy wants the move to go down:

Ruud van Nistelrooy is eager for Manchester United to sign Juventus forward Dušan Vlahović in January, FootballTransfers has been informed. The 24-year-old has been heavily linked with a Premier League move over the past few years and we understand that Man Utd’s assistant manager is a huge admirer.

Following Van Nistelrooy’s recommendation, Man Utd are planning to scout Vlahovic over the next few months and gauge his interest in a potential mid-season transfer to Old Trafford.

The Juventus star, who has less than two years remaining on his current contract in Turin, has already netted two goals in just three Serie A games so far this season and he is considered to be one of Europe’s top strikers.

Vlahovic was on Arsenal’s radar before he joined Juventus in January 2022, while Man Utd were also linked with the Serbian international last year. However, the Red Devils are now ready to step up their interest after being urged to consider a move by Van Nistelrooy.

Manchester City seems like it will go all out to keep Rodri, despite interest from Real Madrid:

One player who is highly unlikely to swap Man City for Real Madrid is Rodri. The La Liga giants believe he is too old to justify his €100m (£84.4m) price tag and will only pay up for the 28-year-old if City are hit with severe financial sanctions from their Premier League investigation which force them to sell for cheap.
