Werner could be one-and-done in London (ESPN)

Former Bayern Munich transfer target Timo Werner could potentially have a very short stay in England if Chelsea brings another striker. Thomas Tuchel reportedly has his eyes on both Borussia Dortmund’s Erling Haaland and Manchester City’s Sergio Aguero:

Chelsea forward Timo Werner faces a race to prove his worth to Thomas Tuchel ahead of the summer, according to the Evening Standard. This news comes with the boss set to finalise his plans as the German heads into his first transfer window in London.

Tuchel is said to be a big admirer of Manchester City veteran Sergio Aguero, whose contract comes to an end this summer, meaning he could move to Stamford Bridge for free. Even with the Argentine in mind, Borussia Dortmund talisman Erling Haaland remains Tuchel’s main priority, says the report, which is also the case with many of Europe’s biggest clubs.

There have been reports in Germany that the 25-year-old might be allowed to leave despite joining from RB Leipzig only in the summer, but the report suggests no talks of this nature have yet taken place.

Flick is awesome (@dirk_adam)

Focus Online and Eurosport journalist Dirk Adam told a little story with a tweet about how Bayern Munich manager Hansi Flick once interrupted a Zoom press conference to say “Hi” to Adam’s son when he ventured into the room. In typical Flick fashion, the 56-year-old manager gave the kiddo a wave and did not make it an awkward situation for the journalist either:

If Hansi #Flick the #FCBayern should leave in the summer, I will remember this one scene a few weeks ago, when he discovered my son (9) in a virtual PK and waved to him in a friendly manner. Great! That shows how grounded Flick is.

There are many great instances of kids interrupting things, but this is the GOAT of “kids wrecking a live TV spot.” I’m sure you’ve all seen it, but it’s always tremendous:

United plotting one more run at Sancho (Transfer Market Web)

Manchester United is reportedly putting Borussia Dortmund’s Jadon Sancho firmly back on its radar:

Turned down last summer already, Manchester United are planning to go again for signing English international winger Jadon Sancho (21). Borussia Dortmund are apparently planning to let him out, especially if Erling Haaland stays put, most likely on an about 135 million euros transfer fee.

Abdo is the best (@UCLonCBSSports)

CBS studio host Kate Abdo is one of the best in the business and she proves it every time she’s on screen:

Haaland told to stay in Germany (talkSport)

Pundit Stuart Pearce thinks Borussia Dortmund’s Erling Haaland should just stay in Germany — and make a move to Bayern Munich:

But Stuart Pearce believes Haaland doesn’t need to worry about a Premier League or LaLiga move right now, suggesting going to Dortmund’s rivals Bayern would be the ideal pit stop. Speaking on commentary for Dortmund vs Man City, which ended with Haaland and co. dumped out of Europe, Pearce told talkSPORT: “Where’s the best place for him to go and play his football? I personally think Bayern Munich. If Bayern are in for him and they can afford him, I think standing in the country that he knows at this moment in time, playing for a club that looks near enough destined to win the league most years, especially if he’s playing up front for them. It wouldn’t be a bad stop off point for the next two or three years at least to see where he wants to go after that. As a young player you’ve almost got to plan a career without looking too far down the road because professional football has got a habit of biting you when you think you can plan your career. I would say stay in Germany in a league that he knows, in a league that he’s scoring goals in wouldn’t be a bad thing at this moment in time.”

Chelsea to pitch swap for Dybala? (Transfer Market Web)

Speaking of Chelsea, the London club is allegedly taking a loo at Juventus’ Paulo Dybala, who has probably been linked with every major club in the world over the past three seasons:

According to latest Italian rumours, Chelsea are planning a move at Argentinian international forward Paulo Dybala (27), by attaching one out of Emerson Palmieri and Jorginho to the deal. To date, Juventus are planning to let La Joya out on an at least 65 million euros all-cash transfer fee.
