Senegalese midfielder Sadio Mane could move to Girona. This is reported by the Todofichajes portal.

It is reported that Girona wants to significantly strengthen its squad before the start of next season, in which the team will play in the Champions League. Mane is one of the club's priority transfers, but the Catalans will have to negotiate with the player's current club, Al Nasr. Among the options is a season-long loan.

It will be recalled that Mane previously played for Liverpool and Bayern Munich.

German coach Thomas Tuchel may continue his cooperation with Bayern Munich.

According to Mia san Mia's Twitter page, Bayern's management is currently in active negotiations with Tuchel to sign a new agreement.

The coach was supposed to leave the German giants at the end of this season, but now the situation has changed: the club has received rejections from almost all the candidates considered by the management. As a result, Bayern has two options left: Tuchel or the current Brighton coach Roberto De Zerbi.

It is also known that Tuchel will agree to continue working at the Munich club only if he is seen as a long-term prospect, not a temporary coach who will lead the team until Klopp arrives in 2025.

Earlier, it was reported that Manchester United was very interested in Tuchel's services.

Barcelona striker Robert Lewandowski may receive the Ballon d'Or this year, which he earned in 2020, Sport.es reports.

It will be recalled that in 2020, France Football decided not to present the Ballon d'Or due to the coronavirus pandemic and the long spring break in world football. Robert Lewandowski, who then played for Bayern Munich and scored 55 goals in 47 matches, had the highest chance of winning the prize.

Former Bayern Munich midfielder Dietmar Hamann has questioned the wisdom of signing striker Harry Kane.

"I would definitely raise the possibility of selling Kane back to England and getting the 100 million euros back. "Bayern scored more goals without Kane last season than with him. Wouldn't they have been better off with Mathis Thiel at the forefront of the team's attack?

"Bayern played well against Arsenal in the Champions League quarter-finals, and Harry was barely visible. In the match against Real Madrid, he was barely visible: he had a chance to make it 2-0 and hit the post. Then he left the field in the 80th minute because of a back problem. To be honest, I don't envy Bayern," Hamann said in an interview with Sky 90.

Leverkusen Bayer Leverkusen, who became German champions ahead of schedule, continue to rack up victories.

Last weekend, Xabi Alonso's team defeated Bochum 5-0 away. Thus, the Leverkusen club has not lost in 50 matches this season in all competitions (49 wins and 9 draws).

Over the course of his career, Neuer conceded 423 goals in those 500 matches, keeping the net dry on 224 occasions.

German coach Hans-Dieter Flick has informed Bayern Munich's management of his readiness to take over the team.

According to Bayern & Germany, the 59-year-old specialist is going to accept the offer from Munich, but under several conditions. Flick does not want to repeat his previous experience at the club and expects a long-term contract. The former German national team coach also wants to see Miroslav Klose and Tony Tapalovic in his coaching staff.

FC St Pauli is returning to the German Bundesliga after 14 years.

The Hamburg-based club secured promotion to the second Bundesliga after a 3-1 victory over Osnabrück.

The main intrigue of the last round of the German second division is who will win the gold medals: "St Pauli or Holstein, who earlier secured promotion to the Bundesliga for the first time in history.

According to As, Bayern Munich have long wanted to sign Ukraine winger Viktor Tsygankov. El Gol Digital also adds that Girona will seriously consider offers for Tsygankov in order to sell him for a lot of money, which will allow the team to make new acquisitions.

However, it is pointed out that Tsygankov's departure will be a serious blow to the club's ambitions, so the "white and reds" will try to keep the Ukrainian. This is especially true in the context of Girona's upcoming Champions League appearances next season.

In this year's campaign, Tsygankov played 31 matches for Girona, scoring 6 goals and 5 assists.

Matches of the 33rd round of the German championship took place. The matches took place from 10 May to 12 May. Here are their results.

The 2001 Ballon d'Or winner Michael Owen has criticised Harry Kane for his decision to join Bayern Munich.

- I think he made a mistake. When I left Liverpool to join Real Madrid, they had been an average team for the last 25 years. But then they won the Champions League. If Kane had stayed at Tottenham, he could have become the all-time leading scorer and played in a very exciting team that would have undoubtedly been in the top four with him. And now he would have been four games away from becoming a free agent and doing whatever he wanted," Owen said.
