Boey’s options becoming clear (Kicker’s Georg Holzner via @iMiaSanMia) Could Bayern Munich still sell Sacha Boey during this transfer window? Maybe. According to this report, Everton, Olympique Lyon and Olympique Marseille are still interested in right-back Sacha Boey: Everton, Olympique Lyon and Olympique Marseille are among clubs monitoring the situation of Sacha Boey. Bayern remain open to a January sale. Hasn’t Everton already been burned once by Bayern Munich with an outside-back? It appears as if the English club is undeterred by its experience with Adam Aznou and could look back to Bayern Munich for Boey. As for Olympique Lyon and Olympique Marseille, both could be a good landing spot for Boey, who speaks French. Dettoni gives “a day in the life” for USA trip (FC Bayern Campus) Bayern Munich II defender Grayson Dettoni put together a “day in the life” video for the team during its trip to California: Ein Tag im Leben von Grayson #Dettoni – Trainingslager Edition 🇺🇸 pic.twitter.com/yTW6zWAcdu— FC Bayern Campus (@fcbayerncampus) January 19, 2026 Slot scoffs at Alonso question (Fabrizio Romano) At his press conference on Tuesday, Liverpool FC boss Arne Slot was asked about Xabi Alonso. It did not go well: 🚨 Arne Slot when asked about Xabi Alonso and Liverpool job: “Xabi called me saying he will take over six months! No, no, no… One of the weirdest questions I’ve ever got!” “I am working here for 18 months and I like my work here. Won the league, struggled more this season, that is obvious.” Look, reporters are there to ask questions, but that is a stupid question. Schalke reaches agreement with Džeko…can clubs agree on move? (Sky Germany’s Florian Plettenberg) Schalke 04 could be closing in on a move for Fiorentina striker Edin Džeko: 🚨💣 BREAKING | Schalke 04 and Edin #Dzeko have reached a full verbal agreement. Negotiations with Fiorentina are now under way. Baumann/Muslic worked hard and convinced him. #S04 appeal to him, as revealed yesterday. Now only an agreement between the clubs is needed. @Sky_Dirk @SkySportDE Even at 39-years-old, this seems kind of wild. Džeko has two goals in 18 games (722 minutes) across all competitions for Fiorentina. Odds are slim for longer Jackson stay (Kicker’s Georg Holzner via @iMiaSanMia) As it stands (and as expected), Nicolas Jackson is not likely to remain at Bayern Munich after this season: The clear indication as things stand is that Nicolas Jackson will not be signed permanently by Bayern in the summer, not even for less than the agreed €65m option to buy. Jackson’s performances will be closely monitored for the rest of the season. Only a significant increase in the level of performances would make the club reconsider signing him. ICYMI: Haaland has no answers after City upset (Fabrizio Romano) FK Bodø/Glimt shocked the world and beat Manchester City 3-1 in the Champions League. Afterwards, Erling Haaland had no answers for what went wrong: 🚨 Erling Haaland: “I don’t have the answers. I take full responsibility of not being able to score”.“I just apologise to everyone; every single Man City supporter, every supporter that travelled to Bodo, because in the end it’s embarrassing”, told TNT Sports. pic.twitter.com/8DuHVeCjsU— Fabrizio Romano (@FabrizioRomano) January 20, 2026 If you are looking for more Bayern Munich and German national team coverage, check out the latest episodes of Bavarian Podcast Works, which you can get on Acast, Spotify, Apple, or any leading podcast distributor… Join the conversation!

At one point, Mathys Tel looked like he was destined to be a part of Bayern Munich’s future. A dynamic attacker back in the 2023/24, Tel was thought to have the ability to shift out to wing and bring a goalscoring threat to that position. After all, he did register 10 goals and six assists during that initial campaign in Bavaria. That, however, did not work out as planned. Even with the support of Vincent Kompany, Tel had trouble functioning as a wing and struggled as a striker as well. Quickly, it was determined that the Frenchman needed a change of scenery, so a loan to Tottenham Hotspur and eventually a full transfer seemed to represent the chance for a reboot. That also is not working — and Tel might have the lost the trust of head coach (for now) Thomas Frank, who excluded the 20-year-old from his latest Champions League squad, which has angered is camp per Fabrizio Romano: 🚨⚠️ Tottenham manager Thomas Frank excludes again Mathys Tel from Champions League squad list. Frank makes space for Dominic Solanke and the only way was to remove Tel. ❗️ The French striker and his camp, not happy at all with the decision. With Tel unhappy, Paris FC is seeking to attempt to bring him back to France on a full transfer per Sky Germany journalist Florian Plettenberg: 🚨👀 Mathys #Tel remain the absolute dream transfer target for Paris FC until Deadline Day. Tel still wants to leave Tottenham, as revealed. Edin Dzeko is also on the list, but Tel is internally ranked as the clear number one priority.@kerry_hau @SkySportDE It seems — once again — that Tel needs to change things up in hopes of rediscovering that ability that made him such an intriguing prospect not all that long ago. The positives for Tel include that he is still just 20-years-old and that he has proven that — when right — he can score in a top league. However, Tel still does not seem to have a true position. Playing as a wing, just does not seem to be within his skillset, while Tel has also not yet shown he can produce as a solo striker on a consistent basis. In truth, he is probably best used as a left striker in a formation that include two strikers. This little nugget seems to limit the opportunities for Tel. Most fans likely hope that Tel will be able to turn things around and reach the potential that so many once saw in him. The bottom line on Tel’s tenure in Bavaria, though, is that Bayern Munich got out at the right time for everyone. The Frenchman’s progress was stunted at Bayern Munich and his exit helped pave the way for roster openings for players like Luis Díaz and Lennart Karl. All in all, this was how it needed to be for both Tel and Bayern Munich. From here, it is up to him to prove he can be as good as he thinks he is and some fans think he is as well. Song of the Midweek: “Kiss Them for Me” by Siouxsie and The Banshees Today, we’re venturing back into the 90s…1991 to be specific. This one was right before grunge took over and was a staple for the burgeoning alt rock genre and 120 minutes on MTV. Known mostly for their work that was considered “post punk” or “gothic rock” in the 80s, this one just always sounded good to me…and still does. Enjoy: Entertainment Rundown We will breakdown HBO’s A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms on Friday. Spoiler Alert: It was not a great opening. Stranger Things Stranger Things mega-fans need to let it go. The ending — which was perfectly fine — is being crushed, which is okay (everyone has their own opinions). Clearly, it was not going to please everyone. However, the ridiculous demands that one character needed to hook up with another or that some inane plot-point like needing to know what happened to the long-hair, stoner pizza delivery guy from California needs to be addressed…just stop and grow up. The latest “controversy” stemmed from Finn Wolfhard (Mike)’s stint as host of Saturday Night Live appeared in a skit with Caleb McLaughlin (Lucas) and Gaten Matarazzo (Dustin) where they lampooned potential Stranger Things…

Bayern Munich’s rabid fan section, the Südkurve, will be empty on Wednesday vs. Union Saint-Gilloise. Earlier in January, the club made the decision to close the section because the ultras lit up the Allianz Arena with pyro against Sporting Club in the Champions League last time out. Now, blocks of seats are closed against Union Saint-Gilloise: As tickets for FC Bayern’s home games in the lower tier of the Südkurve are not allocated by block and all 9,336 tickets are valid for blocks 109 to 117, it is technically impossible for the club to cancel only the 4,800 tickets for blocks 111 to 114. For this reason, all tickets for the Südkurve will be cancelled in a first step, and the club will refund the ticket price to the respective purchasers. All tickets for the Südkurve will therefore lose their validity and will not entitle holders to admission to the Allianz Arena for the game against Saint-Gilloise. The tickets will be cancelled on Friday. Should the tickets for blocks 109 to 110 and 115 to 117 go back on sale at a later date, FC Bayern will provide timely and specific information about the further procedure and organizational details. Head coach Vincent Kompany is disappointed that he will not see the Südkurve in action. “That’s a pity, of course. Bayern have always been successful at home in the Champions League, and that’s always been due to the support of the fans. We’ll still have 70,000 fans out there, but of course we hope that this won’t happen often. The fans are very important to us,” Kompany said (as captured by @iMiaSanMia). Similarly, midfielder Aleksandar Pavlović will miss the boisterous fans as well. “Of course it’s a pity they won’t be there tomorrow. They’ve always supported us. I hope it’ll be just for this game and that they’ll be back for the next game. We just have to play our game tomorrow,” said (as captured by @iMiaSanMia).

Tito Villa lanzó una fuerte crítica sobre Mateo Levy ante su flojo inicio de temporada en Cruz Azul. La delantera de Cruz Azul es una de las posiciones más polémicas de la plantilla debido a que el club invirtió un buen dinero en el fichaje de Miguel Borja, a pesar de que Gabriel Fernández es titular para Nicolás Larcamón. Al mismo tiempo, Mateo Levy es el gran proyecto de las fuerzas básicas que busca tener minutos en el Clausura 2026 a partir de la regla de menores. De hecho, Puebla buscó sacarlo a préstamos en el último mercado de pases. La realidad es que el delantero de 19 años ha sido la alternativa del Toro en el inicio del campeonato. Sobre el cierre de 2025 convirtió varios goles en la Sub-21 y también fue convocado a la Selección Mexicana para el Mundial Sub-20. No hay dudas de que es un joven con cualidades interesantes, pero todavía no logró demostrar su valía en la Liga MX. Uno de los goleadores más identificados con el conjunto cementero es Emanuel Villa, quien fue muy duro contra Levy en El Podcast de La Máquina: “No lo quieran hacer un delantero de otro perfil, tiene que hacer goles. Ha entrado bien pero tiene que mercar, contra León tuvo un par para hacerse presente… Más allá de lo complementario que pueda ser en el ataque, a él le va a venir muy bien”. “Te lo digo también como entrenador; el hecho de que el delantero te dé gol, por más que sea complementario, genera una expectativa diferente que si metes a alguien nada más a empujar el ataque. Y es que tiene gol Mateo, no es que le estamos pidiendo gol a alguien que no lo tiene, en su carrera en fuerzas básicas lo demostró. Ya se le va a dar, se lo ve bien”, finalizó en su análisis. Tito Villa dijo de Mateo Levy lo que toda la afición de Cruz Azul piensa (Imago 7) El rol que tendría Miguel Borja en su llegada a Cruz Azul Una de las grandes novelas del mercado fue el fichaje de Miguel Borja por Cruz Azul, quien ya estaría entrenando en La Noria. El delantero colombiano firmó como agente libre y será habilitado para debutar en la cuarta jornada contra Juárez. Sin embargo, hay dudas sobre qué rol tendría en el equipo ante la necesidad de sumar minutos de menor con Levy, y la presencia del Toro Fernández. Bajo este contexto, Adrián Esparza Oteo señaló que Miguel Borja sería considerado como recambio por Nicolás Larcamón. Esto se debería principalmente porque el entrenador no pidió expresamente por su fichaje. Por lo tanto, podría suceder otro caso como el de Mateusz Bogusz si el director técnico no gestiona de buena manera los minutos.
