"Bayern Munich have agreed with Dutch side PSV on a buy-back deal for attacking midfielder Malik Tillman, whom PSV acquired after the end of his loan, journalist Fabrizio Romano reports on X (formerly Twitter).

According to the source, the amount of the buyout of the American midfielder by Bayern Munich, which will be available to the Munich team from the summer of 2026, will be around €35 million, while PSV's purchase of Tillman cost €12 million.

Borussia Dortmund may find itself in a win-win situation regardless of the outcome of the Champions League final against Real Madrid.

According to the German newspaper Ruhr Nachrichten, the Bumblebees are going to receive a significant amount of money even if they lose the match at Wembley. Jude Bellingham's transfer agreement provides for bonuses if the Bumblebees win the Champions League this season.

Thus, if Bellingham lifts the trophy, Dortmund will receive another £4.3 million from Real Madrid. In addition, if the English star is included in the symbolic Champions League team, Borussia will receive another £1.7 million.

The losing finalist will receive £12.9 million, and together with the bonuses paid for the 20-year-old, a defeat at Wembley will bring the German club £19.3 million. That's more than the £17.2 million that the winner of the tournament will receive.

Bayern Munich head coach Thomas Tuchel, who will leave the club at the end of this season, answered questions about his future.

"I have no idea. I will think about everything calmly. Everything has been clear since February. I am not in a hurry. There have been no discussions with other clubs," Tuchel said at a press conference ahead of the Bundesliga match against Wolfsburg.

Thomas Tuchel took over as Bayern Munich manager last spring.

Borussia Dortmund midfielder Marco Royce has received several offers to continue his career from various countries, including the United States, Saudi Arabia, Qatar and Turkey, Sky Sport reports.

The most serious interest in the 34-year-old footballer was shown by St Louis and Inter Miami of the MLS, as well as Saudi Arabia's Al Nasr. Thus, Royce could become a teammate of Lionel Messi or Cristiano Ronaldo.

At the end of this season, Royce will leave Borussia Dortmund, for whom he has been playing since the summer of 2012. In the current campaign, Marco has scored eight goals and provided six assists in 39 matches for his club.

Bayern Munich and Germany winger Serge Gnabry will miss the rest of the current season, Bild reports.

In addition, there are concerns that the 28-year-old may also miss Euro 2024, which is to take place in Germany. Gnabry suffered a hamstring injury during the first half of the Champions League semi-final return leg between Real Madrid and Bayern Munich.

This is Gnabry's fifth injury this season. In the current campaign, the German has played in just 20 matches for Bayern Munich, scoring five goals and providing one assist.

Liverpool head coach Jurgen Klopp has commented on Borussia Dortmund's progress to the Champions League final.

"I am very happy for Borussia Dortmund. It's great to see that all these people we know are still fighting. This is a great, great achievement. It's a great story," journalist Ben Jacobs quoted Klopp on Twitter.

The Champions League final of the 2023/24 season will take place in London on 1 June. Borussia will face Real Madrid in the fight for the title.

Bayer Leverkusen head coach Xabi Alonso commented on reaching the Europa League final after the 2-2 draw in the second leg of the semi-final against Roma.

"I realised that it would be difficult in the match in Rome. Losing by two goals, we must not forget about what we created, and I liked the reaction. Last year we were close to the final, and this year we managed to get there. The Italians are waiting for us again in the final.

"Atalanta have been working with Gasperini for many years and they are a well-trained team: it will be interesting to challenge them," TuttoMercato quoted Alonso as saying.

Bayer Leverkusen, having played yesterday in a 2-2 draw with Italian Roma in the return match of the 1/2 final of the Europa League, brought its unbeaten streak in all tournaments to 49 matches, thus setting a new world record.

Before that, the world record holder at club level for the number of matches without defeat was Benfica Lisbon, which in 1963-65 did not lose in 48 consecutive matches.

It should be added that the last time in official matches Bayer lost almost a year ago, on 27 May 2023, when in the last German championship lost away to Bochum - 0:3.

Bayern Munich midfielder Thomas Muller spoke about the work of the referees in the Champions League last-16 return leg against Real Madrid (1-2).

"It's very strange. The referee didn't even go to watch VAR. This happens very often in Madrid. Remember the moment with Cristiano's double a few years ago. But we shouldn't justify our defeat with this decision," Mueller told DAZN.
