Real to land Olise? (TEAMtalk) Thigs went radio silent for a bit, but now — out of nowhere — we are starting to see Michael Olise rumors again. This time, it is Real Madrid, who could pull in the Frenchman: TEAMtalk can reveal how a much-hyped Liverpool replacement for Mohamed Salah may not make an immediate return to the Premier League, with the attacker also having his eyes firmly set on Spanish giants Real Madrid and Barcelona. Bayern Munich winger Michael Olise is the player in question, with sources revealing to us that the Frenchman is keeping his long-term options open, and that a move to Spain is not out of the question. We understand that Arsenal have always kept tabs on him and if he shows a real willingness to move back to England then they could also yet be involved. However, Olise’s camp think he has the potential to be the first English-born Ballon d’Or winner since Michael Owen in 2001. And we understand one side that can’t be discounted is Real Madrid, and they could very well have room for him sooner than many expected. We’ll say it again — there is no shot Bayern Munich is going to sell Olise. Would it change anything if Real Madrid or Paris Saint-Germain came calling with a 150 million-200 million offer? Maybe, but it still feels like a total longshot. Ter Stegen takes another hit (Fabrizio Romano) If Marc-André ter Stegen wants to play for the German national team this summer, the goalkeeper likely has to think about a move in January. FC Barcelona coach Hansi Flick has made it clear — Ter Stegen is not the starter in Catalonia. “Marc is an amazing goalkeeper, and we have 3 of them. My words were clear: Joan García is the number 1 goalkeeper, so then we’ll see what happens,” said Ter Stegen. “Don’t forget that Szczesny is a key player for us, on and off the pitch.” Author’s Note: Do you get the idea that a lot of German footballers and coaches cannot stand Ter Stegen? It seems like Julian Nagelsmann is a fan, but quotes and stories over the years seem to paint a picture that not many Germans hold him in high regard. Food for thought… Bayern stifled by Spurs on Vušković? (The Hard Tackle) Bayern Munich was reportedly kicking the tires on Hamburger SV’s 18-year-old Croatian center-back Luka Vušković, but was shot down by his parent club, Tottenham Hotspur: Bayern Munich are reportedly interested in signing 18-year-old Croatian defender Luka Vuskovic from Tottenham Hotspur. Vuskovic is currently on loan at Hamburger SV, and he has done quite well for the Bundesliga club. He is already a key player for them and one of the first names on the team sheet. His performances have been very impressive, and Bayern Munich want to secure his signature. They have made an enquiry for the young Croat, but a report from TEAMtalk has claimed that Tottenham have already turned down the approach. They do not plan to sell the 18-year-old defender anytime soon. Chelsea, City moving in on Upamecano? (TEAMtalk) With more uncertainty growing around the Dayot Upamecano’s future with Bayern Munich, Chelsea and Manchester City could be lining up to make a blockbuster move for the Frenchman: Chelsea and Manchester City have both joined the hunt for Dayot Upamecano and have had conversations about his possible arrival on a free transfer from Bayern Munich, although sources can reveal that a transfer twist awaits if that interest turns concrete. Chelsea have also engaged with former defender Guehi, but we can confirm that they have now shown an interest in Upamecano. Likewise, City are looking at options and Upamecano is someone of potential interest to their new sporting chief Hugo Viana. Upamecano also has interest from the likes of Liverpool, Real Madrid and Barcelona, but whilst confirming interest sources with knowledge of the situation have told us that a new deal at Bayern is by far the most likely scenario at this point. Right now, Bayern Munich is publicly stating (and re-stating) its confidence with Upamecano, but it is…

Well, the Fortnite Item Shop just unveiled its items for Monday, December 15th, 2025, and to say that the selection is huge would be an understatement. FireMonkey and other regulars have officially revealed the rundown, which indicates that there are 157 items in the shop today – a staggering total. In a way, I suppose one could see it as a digital mall. Alongside these, there are 47 items which are new and 12 which are almost gone, so you better hurry if you want them, maybe. Anyway, player reactions were not very enthusiastic, to say? Not quite like that....
