      It comes after Bayern, under new boss Thomas Tuchel, also crashed out of the German Cup and Champions League within weeks of the head coach’s arrival.
      The German boss has slammed his team for being unable to play football “without making mistakes”.
      Meanwhile, a photo circulating on social media claimed to show Bayern CEO Oliver Kahn leading a delegation into the dressing room.
      Other high-ranking chiefs including sporting director Hasan Salihamidzic and chairman Herbert Hainer were believed to be present.

      The trio are under pressure after the shock sacking of Julian Nagelsmann appears to have completely backfired.
      But similar to beleaguered Boehly at Chelsea, the bigwigs reportedly went into the dressing room to confront their struggling stars.
      Bayern lost 3-1 to Mainz while Borussia Dortmund beat Eintracht Frankfurt 4-0, giving Edin Terzic’s side a one point lead with five games remaining.
      It is the latest setback for Tuchel’s nightmare start to life at the Allianz Arena.

      After a brilliant debut win over title rivals Dortmund, the ex-Chelsea boss has seen his side meekly tumble out the Champions League, go out of the German Cup to Freiburg and watch two of his stars have a dressing room bust-up.
      And the fed-up manager, who has overseen just two wins in seven games, lashed out at his side after the Mainz defeat.
      He said: “We seem exhausted. We look like a team that has already played 80 games this season.
      “We are not able to play football without making mistakes. The games and the points go away and run through our hands like sand.” More

      Harry Kane is ‘too old and expensive’ for Bayern Munich claims club legend in boost to Man Utd transfer hopes

      HARRY KANE is “too old and expensive”, according to Bayern Munich club legend Lothar Matthaus.The England striker’s future is already the talk of the next transfer window with just over a year left on his contract.

      Bayern Munich and Manchester United are believed to be the frontrunners for the Tottenham star.
      But the German giants have been urged to swerve Kane by one of their former players.
      Matthaus, who won the league five times in his two spells in Bavaria, believes Kane is not worth the cost at the age of 29 and prefers 24-year-old Victor Osimhen of Napoli.
      He also believes that Spurs’ record top scorer, who will likely command a fee north of £100m, is too expensive.

      Writing for Sky Deutschland, the 62-year-old said: “I’m excited to see if a new striker comes along.
      “Everyone is talking about Victor Osimhen for his sensational performance at Napoli. You never know if he can do that in Munich, but I think he would be a good fit.
      “Randal Kolo Muani may need a little more room and space than a Bayern striker usually has, but he’s also good in the box and could work in Munich. Harry Kane would be too old and too expensive for me.
      “The price-performance ratio could speak for [Werder Bremen striker] Niclas Füllkrug. He would probably be available for €20-25 million [£17.6m-£22m] and score 25 goals in Munich.”

      If Kane does not sign a new contract at Spurs, he would be available for free in the summer of 2024.
      This has sparked speculation on his future and could give Tottenham chairman Daniel Levy a decision to make this summer.
      Reports last month suggested that United have even received a boost due to Spurs reported interest in their goalkeeper Dean Henderson. More

      Tempers flared on the pitch as the duo clashed during their side’s 3-0 Champions League defeat to City last week.
      And the argument continued in the dressing room afterwards, with Mane reportedly striking Sane in the face.
      The ex-Liverpool attacker has since been suspended by Bayern.
      Now journalist Florian Plettenberg says that the club will be trying their best to offload the Senegal ace at the end of the season after fining him.

      He told Sky Germany: “According to our information, it is an amount that goes far beyond €300,000 (£260,000), so it’s a very, very sensitive fine for Mane.
      “From what I’m hearing, Bayern will try everything to offload Sadio Mane in the summer.
      “From a sporting point of view, Thomas Tuchel has no plans with Mane as he doesn’t fit his system.
      “This is my information. The player is seen very critically internally.”

      Meanwhile, Bayern boss Thomas Tuchel broke his silence over the incident as he revealed that Mane would only be banned for one match, which they drew 1-1 with Hoffenheim, but will be back for the second leg with City this week.
      He said: “That’s settled. A game and a fine are the consequences of what happened.

      “The way both players involved dealt with it, the way the other players dealt with it, it had a cleansing effect.

      FOLARIN BALOGUN is reportedly attracting interest from RB Leipzig as they search for a replacement for Chelsea-bound Christopher Nkunku.Arsenal starlet Balogun, 21, has had a fantastic season on loan at Reims, with 18 goals in 29 Ligue 1 games so far this season.

      Only Kylian Mbappe and another Chelsea target Jonathan David have scored more goals in the French top flight.
      The Arsenal loanee’s form hasn’t gone unnoticed.
      And, with the Gunners unlikely to be able to offer Balogun a regular starting spot up front next season, clubs across Europe are monitoring his situation.
      Fichajes claim that RB Leipzig are one of the sides set to slug it out for Balogun’s services, with Nkunku set to depart for Chelsea this summer.

      The report adds that the German outfit are looking to add a goalscorer to their ranks to complement Timo Werner, and the incoming Benjamin Sesko from RB Salzburg.
      Arsenal will be delighted with Balogun’s progress, but his sudden rise presents them with a problem.
      Balogun has two years remaining on his Arsenal deal but will return to the Emirates at the end of the season with his future up in the air.
      And the Gunners will weigh up what would be an acceptable offer for the striker in the close season.

      However, Sane appeared to be in fine spirits as he lined up in attack for Thomas Tuchel’s side today.
