Bayern Munich News: The approach to get Anthony Gordon; Robert Lewandowski to PSG?; Bayern eyeing Belgian winger; and MORE!

Bayern has watchful eye on on Godts (Sport Bild’s Christian Falk)

Bayern Munich is keeping an eye on Ajax winger Mika Godts:

✅ It is TRUE: Bayern are watching Mika Godts. However, he hasn’t broken into the top three offensive options FC Bayern are actively discussing. The Belgian could, of course, still be an option to enlarge the squad.

**Flick wants Rashford back (ESPN)**

If Hansi Flick has his way, FC Barcelona will bring back Marcus Rashford:

Barcelona boss Hansi Flick has made it clear that he wants to make Marcus Rashford’s loan move from Manchester United permanent in the summer, TEAMtalk reports. Rashford, 28, has a €30 million permanent clause in his loan arrangement, which must be activated by June 15, but it’s unclear if a different structured deal will be negotiated instead. Still, Flick has made an internal plea for the forward’s stay to be extended one way or another.

Palhinha hedging on Spurs move? (SportsMole’s Saikat Mandal)

It has been assumed for quite a while that if Tottenham Hotspur wanted João Palhinha, then the Portuguese midfielder would gladly make the jump on a permanent deal to London. Not so fast (maybe):

When Bayern sanctioned Palhinha’s loan move, the expectation was that the arrangement could pave the way for a permanent exit.

Vincent Kompany already has the likes of Aleksandar Pavlovic, Joshua Kimmich and Tom Bischof as midfield options, and while Leon Goretzka is expected to leave in the summer, the Bundesliga champions still appear to have sufficient depth in that department.

The Portuguese midfielder is not considered a natural fit for Kompany’s tactical setup, which is why Bayern would reportedly be open to sanctioning a permanent departure this summer.

Tottenham are believed to be keen on negotiating a fee lower than the original £25m purchase option, but unless Palhinha makes his intentions clear, the situation is unlikely to move forward quickly. From Tottenham’s perspective, they are already dealing with enough egg on their face from this season, so unless they know 100% that Palhinha is all-in, we likely will not hear a peep from them.

PSG to take run at Lewy? (ESPN)

If former Bayern Munich star Robert Lewandowski leaves FC Barcelona, Paris Saint-Germain might be ready to give the Polish Hitman a chance in its squad:

Paris Saint-Germain aren’t looking to sign Atletico Madrid striker Julián Álvarez, which opens up a move for Barcelona as they look to find a replacement for Robert Lewandowski, as reported by Sport. Despite reports elsewhere linking Les Parisiens with the 26-year-old Argentina international, he isn’t currently in Luis Enrique’s plans but Barcelona could face competition from Champions League finalists Arsenal as they aim to complete the signing.

LFC wants Diomande badly (TEAMtalk via ESPN)

Liverpool could really want RB Leipzig winger Yan Diomande pretty badly:

Liverpool are determined to sign RB Leipzig winger Yan Diomande in the summer, despite his transfer being valued at €100 million. *If you are looking for more Bayern Munich and German national team coverage, check out the latest episodes of Bavarian Podcast Works, which you can get on Acast, Spotify, Apple, or any leading podcast distributor…*
