Tel is reportedly reluctant to depart the German champions, with the France under-21 international having aspirations to become a club legend at Bayern. Still, it is expected that he will part ways if he believes the club do not see him as part of their future plans at the Allianz Arena.

Man United are keen on attacking reinforcements for the summer as the Red Devils look to provide support for young forward Rasmus Hojlund. It is expected that Anthony Martial will depart Old Trafford, with the Frenchman’s contract expiring at the end of the season, and with United struggling for a consistent source of goals, manager Erik ten Hag will be active in the summer as he looks to bolster his forward options.

PAPER GOSSIP

– Paris Saint-Germain still consider AC Milan forward Rafael Leão as an ideal replacement for Kylian Mbappé, suggests Rudy Galetti. With Mbappe informing PSG of his decision to leave the French outfit at the end of the season, the Ligue 1 champions are identifying replacements for the 25-year-old. PSG will consider whether they should make a summer approach for Leao, with the 24-year-old having a €175m release clause.

– Chelsea are willing to meet Napoli forward Victor Osimhen‘s release clause this summer, reports Rudy Galetti. The Blues have been rumoured to have joined PSG in the race for the Nigerian, and Chelsea are reportedly keen to speed up negotiations for the striker. It is reported that Chelsea are prepared to trigger the €130m release clause, and are looking to negotiate the payment structure with Napoli, in the hopes of bringing Osimhen to Stamford Bridge.

– Paris Saint-Germain are set to bring two world-class forwards to the club, as well as aiming to land Lille defender Leny Yoro, per RMC Sport. The report indicates that the budget that was prepared by the French outfit to extend Mbappe’s deal will instead be used to bring two forwards to the club in the summer. It is reported that whilst Manchester City’s Bernardo Silva and AC Milan’s Rafael Leao have been linked to the club, there has been no concrete discussions. Meanwhile, it is expected that PSG will also look to bolster their squad with youthful additions, such as Lille’s Leny Yoro, with the 18-year-old attracting the attention of the French champions.
