The offer was not close and it was refused without much discussion. Whether the second one is refused as quickly is another matter.

Harry Kane in a row with a teammate
It was not about football and everybody who saw it knows that. Two men who have to play together on Saturday said things at Bayern Munich this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Another one collected away from home
5 on the bounce on the road for Bayern Munich. The coaches leave early, arrive at unlovely grounds in the dark, and keep coming home with three points.

Jonas Wolf steps up from the Bayern Munich academy
There is no fee, no unveiling and no agent on the steps. Jonas Wolf has been at this club since he was a boy and is now, formally, one of the first-team squad — which for a local readership beats any signing of any size.
