72 days out for Dušan Vlahović after a fracture

Too dear: Bayern Munich walk away from Alexander Nübel
$24.6M was the most the club would pay and Bayer Leverkusen were asking for more. Deals like this are revived in the last week of a window roughly half the time, and everybody involved knows it.

318 appearances across 9 seasons in these colours. Careers like that are not built any more, and Bayern Munich know what they have.

The Nathaniel Brown conversation is coming
