Nkunku staying with Leipzig? (Sport1)
Christopher Nkunku is drawing a lot of interest on the transfer market, but he might end up staying at RB Leipzig anyway:
Oliver Mintzlaff is firmly convinced that Christopher Nkunku will continue to play for RB Leipzig in the coming season.
“Nkunku stays and we’re going to the Champions League,” said the Bundesliga club’s managing director before the semi-finals in the DFB Cup against Union Berlin on Sky .
Nkunku, whose contract expires in 2024, is playing an outstanding season for Leipzig and has already scored 17 goals and 15 assists in the Bundesliga season. That’s why he’s always associated with a transfer in the summer.
According to SPORT1 information, FC Bayern has kept an eye on the French. But PSG and Manchester City are also named as potential buyers. Nkunku himself had left his options open at L’Équipe . “A lot can happen by the summer,” said the 24-year-old in February: “At the end of the season I will sit down with the club, my agent and my family and make a decision.”

Bavarian Podcast Works: Preview Show — Bayern Munich vs. Borussia Dortmund in Der Klassiker (Bavarian Football Works)
It is almost as if the Bundesliga scripted the season to reach this point: Bayern Munich vs. Borussia Dortmund at the Allianz Arena. Should the Bavarians win, they’ll wrap up a 10th consecutive league crown.

This is what we have on tap for this episode:
- A look at where each club resides in the the table (Hint: The top).
- A glance at the form and recent storylines surrounding each team.
- A guess at Julian Nagelsmann’s lineup.

Despite previous reports, Bayern might consider Lewy swap, involving Gavi plus cash (Daily Express)
Per at least one (likely erroneous) report, Bayern Munich would actually consider a player swap for Robert Lewandowski — if FC Barcelona were to include midfield phenom Gavi in the package:
Barcelona want to land Robert Lewandowski in this summer’s transfer window as they plan for a brighter future under Xavi. And reports claim Bayern Munich are open to parting ways with the Poland international if they get Gavi in return. The 17-year-old has burst onto the scene this term and is regarded as one of world football’s best prospects for the future.
And Sport say that, while Bayern aren’t interested in a swap deal involving any of their big names, they are willing to make an exception if they get Gavi in return. He’s been linked with a move to Liverpool, with Jurgen Klopp appearing to be a big admirer of the teenager.
But Barcelona have no interest in letting the midfielder go. Instead, they’re seeking to renew Gavi’s contract and ensure he stays in Catalonia for many years ahead.

Hammers boss David Moyes wants to bring the 46-capped Germany international to the London Stadium this summer according to a report from Sky Sports.
Bale to DC? (Sport1)
Could Gareth Bale move from Real Madrid to DC United? That seems to be a rumor floating around:
Gareth Bale’s time at Real Madrid is coming to an end. In the summer it’s over in Spain, the 32-year-old is looking for a new club.
But where is the journey going? The Washington Post writes that Bale remains on the list at DC United. According to the report, the Welshman, whose contract is about to expire, is already in negotiations with the MLS club.
Accordingly, the club from North America is ready to make Bale the record earner - and to pay him more than Wayne Rooney once did. The former England superstar is said to have been paid £300,000 a week at DC United. (around 358,000 euros).
Recently there had been rumors that Bale could be accommodated by another unnamed club in Spain.
