Arsenal were looking to recruit both Zubimendi and Palhinha, with the latter’s Premier League experience from his time with Fulham of appeal to the Gunners. Palhinha spent two excellent years with Fulham between 2022 and 2024, earning himself a €56 million (£48.6 million, $65.1 million) move to the Bundesliga champions.

Bayern Munich will be adding another Urbig to its fold. Jonas Urbig’s elder brother, Luis is reported to join the Frauen second team as a goalkeeping coach. The 23-year-old is currently a free agent. Per a report by Bild (as captured by @iMiaSanMia), Luis Urbig’s is to move to FC Bayern Frauen:

However, speaking to Portuguese outlet Sport TV on Thursday, Palhinha stressed that he remained committed to his contract with Bayern, which is not due to expire until June 2028. ‘I have a contract for three more years, so I’ll report for duty on July 29, which is when we start this pre-season,’ he said.

TMW says Chelsea are interested in Kim, who was outstanding in Napoli's Scudetto triumph two years ago. A swap deal is set to be proposed, which would see Chelsea offer cash plus Renato Veiga in exchange for Kim. Veiga spent the second-half of last season on-loan with Juve.

Bayern Munich manager Vincent Kompany said his blood was “boiling” after young forward Jamal Musiala suffered a broken leg and dislocated ankle in Saturday’s Club World Cup defeat to Paris Saint-Germain.

His performances last season weren't noteworthy, and there are already rumours of Bayern looking to cut their losses and sell Palhinha this summer. However, the 30-year-old, in an interaction with Sport TV Portugal, shared his desire to continue at Bayern despite exit rumours.

Gabriel Martinelli is one of several names Bayern Munich are considering for their left-wing role, but it has not yet developed any further than that. Mikel Arteta values him, but if a sale could unlock a deal for one of Arsenal’s remaining targets, that could change things.
