Joshua Kimmich’s importance to Bayern Munich cannot be understated
Bayern Munich. Best team on the planet? Silly question – of course they are. Last season, the Bavarians tore through the footballing world, cruising to the treble. And, when you look at the star-studded squad they had, it’s no surprise that they conquered Europe last term. Robert Lewandowski was the world’s top goalscorer in 2019/20, Thomas Muller set the Bundesliga record for the most assists in a season, Thiago Alcantara dictated the game every weekend, Alphonso Davies emerged as one of the best left-backs around, Serge Gnabry made Tony Pulis look like a mug, Manuel Neuer looked back to his very best – Hansi Flick had a world-class squad at his disposal. However, there is one player in among all those names who doesn’t often get the credit he deserves, and that is German midfielder Joshu...

Report: How Bayern players and manager react to 4-1 defeat to Hoffenheim
After playing 120 minutes of football against Europa League champions Sevilla at the Puskas Arena to win their second UEFA Super Cup title in history, Champions League title holders Bayern Munich were welcomed with a defeat to Hoffenheim in the Matchday 2 of the 2020/2021 Bundesliga season on Sunday.

Ian Wright accuses Manchester United of ‘dithering’ over transfers
Ian Wright has urged Manchester United to sign RB Leipzig defender Dayot Upamecano. The 21-year-old impressed with his performances in the Champions League last season, most notably against Atletico Madrid. Upamecano recently revealed he held talks about a potential move away from RB Leipzig and his focus, for now, is the Bundesliga club (via Manchester Evening News). We all know that would quickly change if United came knocking with an offer in the morning, and former Arsenal star Wright thinks we should make move. When you look at the defence — despite Solskjaer claiming to be happy with it — it shouldn’t be hard to look into the transfer market to find better options. Victor Lindelof is an awful partner to Harry Maguire, but hopefully we see more combinations in the foreseeable future —...

Philippe Coutinho to remain at Barcelona after Ronald Koeman call
Philippe Coutinho will remain at Barcelona for the upcoming 2020/21 season, according to his agent Kia Joorabchian. Coutinho spent last term on loan at Bayern Munich, making 38 appearances as they won the Champions League, Bundesliga and DFB Pokal.

Key dates for the 2020 summer transfer window – Premier League, La Liga, Serie A, Bundesliga and Ligue 1
The 2020 summer transfer window will allow clubs across Europe’s major leagues to conduct their business until the first weekend of October. Due to the coronavirus pandemic, a number of football leagues have been forced to prolong their 2019/2020 seasons such that they can complete their remaining fixtures. As a result, the start of the 2020/21 campaigns have been postponed and that has contributed to the diversion from the traditional summer transfer window dates. The Premier League, La Liga, Serie A and Bundesliga may have different opening dates for the transfer window, but October 5 has been set as the common deadline. Ligue 1 have yet to make an announcement. While new players can be registered by their respective clubs when the transfer window reopens, they will be ineligible to feat...
