Bayern Munich are bracing for tough contract talks with star winger Michael Olise, while Chelsea lead the race for AFC Bournemouth midfielder Alex Scott. According to Sport Bild, the 24-year-old France international hasn't yet confirmed if he wants to stay in Bavaria, with one sticking point being his desire for a release clause like those of Harry Kane and Jamal Musiala. Bayern are willing to offer a mega contract until 2032 but want an answer by next summer.
Chelsea are leading the race to sign 23-year-old Alex Scott, with Liverpool and Arsenal also interested, while Real Madrid have watched him closely including his first England start in the 7-0 win over Croatia.
Juventus see 31-year-old Marseille midfielder Pierre-Emile Højbjerg as the leader they need, with exploratory contacts already made. Meanwhile, Real Madrid have made progress in talks with Jude Bellingham over a new contract, and Premier League clubs are monitoring Sevilla midfielder Lucien Agoume, who has a €40m release clause.
