      by

      The German side are open to cashing in on him whilst they still can, with Arsenal and Manchester United both interested.
      Reports last week suggested that the Red Devils had already offered the player a contract and would rather pay a fee this month than wait until the summer.
      But, Bayern Munich are now seriously considering a swoop and are the current favorites to secure his signature.
      The Bundesliga title holders are said to be hopeful of signing Zakaria on a free transfer in the summer as a replacement for Corentin Tolisso, whose contract also expires in June.
      Sky Sports reporter Florian Plettenberg recently tweeted: “He [Zakaria] is a potential candidate to replace Tolisso in summer.
      “The decision-makers agree that he could strengthen the team.

      This season he has appeared 17 times, scoring twice and earning one assist. More

      Chelsea defender Antonio Rudiger ‘in talks over FREE transfer with Real Madrid, PSG, Bayern Munich and Juventus’

      by

      ANTONIO RUDIGER is in talks with four top European clubs over a free transfer, reports say. The German has just half a year left on his current deal and is yet to extend it, despite efforts from Chelsea.
      Chelsea defender Antonio Rudiger is entering the last six months of his contractCredit: EPA
      Having entered the last six months of his contract, Rudiger, 28, is now able to negotiate a free transfer abroad.
      And according to Sky Sports, Real Madrid, PSG, Bayern Munich and Juventus have all opened talks with his representatives.
      It could see him finalise a pre-contract agreement this month and secure a move away from Stamford Bridge.
      But, it is also claimed staying at Chelsea has not yet been ruled out by Rudiger.
      He has started 20 Premier League games this season – the most of any outfield player – and remains hugely valued by the club.
      It is believed the Blues have been unable to strike a financial agreement with the defender, who reportedly earns in the region of £140,000-per-week.

      The Telegraph had claimed LaLiga giants Real are willing to DOUBLE that salary in order to prize Rudiger over to Spain.
      He is also joined by Cesar Azpilicueta, 32, Andreas Christensen, 25, and Thiago Silva, 37, who are all entering the final stages of their contracts.
      Azpilicueta is understood to be pushing for a two-year extension with the option of a third.
      But Chelsea – who have a policy of offering over 30s only one-year extensions – are expected to counter with a 12-month deal with the option of another year.
      Christensen had appeared close to agreeing terms with Chelsea, but has since changed agents and been linked to Barcelona on a free, Sky in Italy say.
      Silva on the other hand is nearing a one-year extension, which would guarantee him three years at the club.

      Newcastle transfer boost as Niklas Sule ‘is leaning towards QUITTING Bayern Munich after contract talks stall’

      by

      NEWCASTLE have received a boost in their pursuit of Bayern Munich defender Niklas Sule as he reportedly wants to QUIT the German champions.The 26-year-old’s contract with the Bundesliga giants expires at the end of this season.
      SuleCredit: Getty
      And, according to Bild, talks between Sule and the club about a possible extension appear to be stalling.
      It is also being reported that the German centre-back is leaning towards wanting to leave Bayern after four years with the club.
      Sule joined in 2017 and has gone on to rack up 150 appearances for the Bundesliga champions.
      And he remains a regular first teamer for Bayern having started nine of their 11 league matches so far this season.
      He has also enjoyed a decent career as a German international, appearing 37 times for his country and scoring one goal.
      It is understood that Bayern have offered him a new deal but that he is yet to put pen to paper.

      The stalling will be ringing alarm bells for Bayern as Sule will be able to sign a pre-contract agreement with another side as early as January.
      And Newcastle are looking at him as a potential option as they seek to bolster their squad to avoid relegation.
      The Magpies currently sit in the bottom three without a win in the Premier League so far this season.
      But the recent Saudi takeover means fans will be hoping they can do enough business in January to save them from the drop.

      Newcastle have been linked with a number of players since the £300million takeover went through last month.
      They are said to be interested in Inter Milan duo Stefan de Vrij and Marcelo Brozovic as Eddie Howe looks to begin putting his own stamp on the squad.
      Newcastle return to action this weekend when they host Brentford on Saturday. More

      Newcastle ‘in talks over Niklas Sule transfer with Bayern Munich star interested in joining since £300m Saudi takeover’

      by

      NEWCASTLE UNITED are in discussions with Bayern Munich over the transfer of German international, Niklas Sule, according to reports. Sule, 26, could become the club’s first confirmed star signing following the takeover which made them the richest club in the world.

      Christian Falk of BILD Sport reports that the clubs are in transfer talks, with Sule said to be ‘interested in the project’ at St James’ Park.
      The German jounalist tweeted: “TRUE. There were talks between@NUFC and the Management of Niklas Süle (@FCBayern) three weeks ago. The defender is interested in the project of Newcastle.”
      Niklas has less than a year remaining on his existing Bayern Munich contract, which ends in June 2022 and his future is said to be up in the air.
      Sule has been linked with various other Premier League giants – Chelsea failing to sign him during the summer.
      Measuring in at 6ft 5in and well built, Sule is a quintessential centre-back, commanding in the tackle and calm on the ball.
      He has 37 full international caps and a Champions League winners medal under his belt.

      The towering central defender is approaching 100 appearances for the German champions.
      The North East club have yet to employ a permanent manager, after being rejected by Unai Emery, the Spaniard claiming that the new owners have ‘no clear vision’.
      Newcastle have not won a single Premier League game this season and sit in 19th in the table.
      The Geordies are hopeful that a slate of signings in the January transfer window will improve their squad dramatically and provide a boost to their form.
      Both Marcelo Brozovic of Inter Milan and Aaron Ramsey of Juventus have been linked with a move in the past few days. More

      Antonio Rudiger ‘honoured’ by Bayern Munich transfer interest as he runs down clock on Chelsea contract

      by

      CHELSEA defender Antonio Rudiger has revealed he is ‘honoured’ to be receiving interest from German champions Bayern Munich.The 28-year-old centre-back, who has been superb for the Blues since manager Thomas Tuchel took over in January, is set to see his Stamford Bridge contract expire at the end of the season.
      Rudiger’s contract at Stamford Bridge expires at the end of the seasonCredit: EPA
      And when Bayern boss Julian Nagelsmann was asked recently about Rudiger, he said: “In principle I am no fan of talking about players who are under contract with other clubs while we are outside the transfer window.
      “But I’m talking about Rudiger as a football fan. He has made fantastic progress.
      “Thomas Tuchel has handled him extremely well since taking charge. He was previously on the scrapheap at Chelsea.
      “But now he is one of the most important members of their defence. He has incredibly good fighting spirit, and is a very good defender.
      “I always think it’s great when a player lives up to his job description – and that is always the case with Toni.”
      Rudiger has now responded to those comments but caveated them by insisting he remains happy with Chelsea for the time being.

      Speaking to BILD journalist Christian Falk, he said: “My future? I feel good at Chelsea where I am now, so that fits.
      “FC Bayern interest honors me because that shows that I’ve done a few things right recently”
      It was reported this week that Rudiger’s Chelsea contract talks are ‘on hold’ after the German was left ‘disappointed’ by the Blues’ last offer.
      According to Sky Germany, Rudiger’s Chelsea future is ‘completely open’.

      They claim that no decision will be made until January at the earliest.
      Meanwhile, The Mirror claim that Rudiger is looking to earn an eyewatering £400,000-a-week.
      This is £50k more than top earner Romelu Lukaku receives at Stamford Bridge.

      A ‘million-dollar- dispute is ongoing between the two men, as reported by Bild.
      The case is set to be heard on Tuesday but documents revealed ahead of the hearing suggest Werner’s preferred destination was Old Trafford before he left RB Leipzig.
      In WhatsApp messages from 2019, Werner reportedly told Lokurlu United were his ‘favourites’ with Chelsea named as ‘great alternatives’.
      United, Chelsea and Liverpool are all said to have been in for Werner in 2019.
      The Red Devils are said to have sent a proposal to Lokurlu via WhatsApp to which he replied: “We’ll see.”
      Liverpool also reportedly submitted a concrete offer with a ‘secret meeting’ said to have taken place between Werner and the Reds.

      A five-year deal on around £200,000-a-week with approximately £20m in bonuses was reportedly put on the table.
      However, Liverpool eventually signed Diogo Jota, and Chelsea swooped last June.
      The Blues paid £53m and pay him an eye-watering £270k-a-week.

      But he has failed to provide value for money so far with just 13 goals in 59 matches for the West Londoners.
      His game time looked like it would be limited this season with Romelu Lukaku hitting the ground running after his £97.5m switch from Inter Milan.
      The Belgian has four in seven and has already cemented himself as No 1 striker, but Werner could now form a surprise two-man attack with him after starting alongside Lukaku in Saturday’s defeat to Manchester City.

      The striker has been among Bayern’s top targets for quite some time after his former RB Leipzig manager Julian Nagelsmann took over at the Allianz Arena.
      The Germany international endured a turbulent debut campaign with the Blues and has fallen down the pecking order following Romelu Lukaku’s record £97.5million return to Stamford Bridge.
      The west Londoners are reportedly looking to pounce on that opportunity as they could use the 25-year-old as leverage to sign former Manchester City star Sane.
      However, the German champions are not keen on letting the winger go after spending a hefty £38.4m in 2020, even though he has been relegated to a supporting role.
      Chelsea boss Thomas Tuchel also insists Werner remains an integral part of the club despite recent reports suggesting he will soon leave.
      Tuchel recently said: “I am sure that we will find games and solutions where we play with both of them [Werner and Lukaku].

      “We did already and Timo and Romelu can be a good fit together.
      “Timo loves to play around a reference up front and Romelu is clearly our reference up front being a tall and physical player.
      “The most important is he finds his rhythm and confidence and joy and makes his point and makes his way into the team.
      “The players are in charge to take their positions and fight for their positions and once they have it to not give it away.
      “We are very happy that he scored and played [for Germany in the international break] and on we go.
      “We have not too many players but we have players with high quality and high ambition and Timo is clearly a guy that we count on and that is absolutely necessary we have him on high level.”
