+++ June 10, 2024, 9:45 a.m.: AS Roma is said to be interested in Jan-Niklas Beste +++
According to the Italian newspaper “Corriere dello Sport”, AS Roma is said to be interested in Jan-Niklas Beste.
The 26-year-old is therefore considered a much cheaper option compared to the preferred solution Federico Chiesa from Juventus Turin and Igor Paixao from Feyenoord Rotterdam.
The left winger is under contract with 1. FC Heidenheim until 2025, and a transfer fee of ten million euros is being discussed.
Beste himself is said to prefer a move within the Bundesliga, but there is apparently no concrete interest yet. Internationally, however, several clubs, including Besiktas Istanbul, Everton FC, AC Florence, Genoa FC and Villarreal FC, are said to have put out feelers for the player, who scored eight goals and provided 13 assists in 31 Bundesliga games last season.
In March, the left-footer was nominated for the German national team by national coach Julian Nagelsmann, but had to leave injured before a possible debut.

+++ June 9, 2024, 12:20 p.m.: Real Madrid with agreement on Wirtz transfer in 2025? +++
A few days before the start of the European Championship, the rumour mill in Spain is boiling about one of the German team’s hopefuls: Florian Wirtz.
The newspaper “Marca”, which is close to Real Madrid, reports of an alleged agreement (“pact”) about a transfer of the offensive player to the “Royals” in the summer of 2025. The source refers to well-informed “agents and sports directors” who had already predicted the now confirmed transfer of superstar Kylian Mbappe to the Madrilenians at the Ballon d’Or awards ceremony in November.
The news comes two days after the FC Barcelona-affiliated “Mundo Deportivo” reported that the Catalans were intensively involved with the player and were aiming for a transfer next year. The fact that Wirtz has had a soft spot for “Barca” since childhood speaks in favor of the option. “As a child, I dreamed of playing for Barca and that hasn’t changed,” the DFB star emphasized in April 2022.
The 21-year-old is under contract in Leverkusen until 2027. Bayer’s CEO, Fernando Carro, recently told “Radio Marca” that a transfer fee of at least 150 million euros would be due for Wirtz. In the “ZDF Sportstudio” Carro corrected his statement shortly afterwards and emphasized that there was no price tag for the youngster.

Now it’s official: Bayer Leverkusen has officially announced its first summer signing.
“The French U21 international Jeanuël Belocian is moving from first division club FC Stade Rennes to German football champions and DFB Cup winners Bayer 04 Leverkusen next season,” the Werkself announced.
According to several media reports, the 19-year-old central defender is moving to Leverkusen for a transfer fee of 15 million euros.
“Jeanuël Belocian is a great talent, but has also already gained a lot of experience at the highest level in France. He has a good passing game and has excellent athletic abilities,” says Bayer 04 Sporting Director Simon Rolfes, raving about the new signing.
Belocian played in 23 Ligue 1 matches last season and also gained experience in the Europa League.
+++ 7 June 2024, 12:45 p.m.: Leverkusen is about to sign a centre-back+++
Bundesliga champions Bayer 04 Leverkusen are on the verge of signing their first summer signing. According to Sky information, French central defender Jeanuël Belocian is set to join the team.
The 19-year-old is currently still under contract with the French first division club Stade Rennes. According to the report, an agreement has already been reached. Belocian is signing a contract with the “Werkself” until 2029. The transfer fee is said to be 15 million euros.
An official confirmation from the clubs is still pending.
+++ 5 June 2024, 4:59 p.m.: Leverkusen and Dortmund in tug-of-war for DFB star+++
Where will central defender Waldemar Anton play next season? The 27-year-old became a national player at VfB Stuttgart. At the beginning of the year he extended his contract with the Swabians until 2027, although there is apparently an exit clause of just 22.5 million euros, according to “Sport Bild”.
Nevertheless, transfer rumors have been circulating about Anton for weeks. In recent days, according to “Bild”, Anton has already been considered by BVB as a potential successor to the possibly departing Mats Hummels.
Now, according to a report in “Sport Bild”, Bayer Leverkusen has apparently also entered the race for Anton. At the German champions, Anton could become the successor to his national team colleague Jonathan Tah.
Tah, whose contract in Leverkusen expires after the coming season, is being linked with a move to FC Bayern Munich. “I’m thinking about what the next right step is for me,” Tah recently told “Sky”. There are currently no signs of an early extension of his contract.
According to “Sport Bild”, Anton has a favorite in the tug-of-war between the Werkself and Borussia: According to them, he is more inclined to move to Leverkusen.
+++ 4 June 2024, 4:53 p.m.: Mainz 05 apparently favourite to sign Christos Tzolis +++
FSV Mainz 05 currently has the best chance of signing second division top scorer Christos Tzolis from Fortuna Düsseldorf. This is reported by the “Rheinische Post”. The Rhinelanders have already expressed their interest to Fortuna.
However, there are still other teams in the race for the 22-year-old Greek. Union Berlin, Werder Bremen and Borussia Mönchengladbach have recently been mentioned.
Despite the dramatic failure to gain promotion to the Bundesliga, Fortuna had signed Tzolis, who had previously been on loan, from Norwich City. The English club reportedly paid 3.5 million euros for this.
However, it was immediately considered likely that Tzolis would be sold on for a profit this summer. The Greek international had recently stated that he did not want to play another year in the second division.
