PSG humiliated the German champions at the Parc des Princes in October, a result that fast-tracked the passage of the bill to sack Carlo Ancelotti from Bayern bench.
Carlo Ancelotti has left his role as coach at Bayern Munich according to reports.
From a soap opera to a white-wash. PSG so impressively dismissed a week of controversy and dressing-room politics by utterly dismissing Bayern Munich 3-0.
Bayern Munich have won the DFB Super Cup after defeating Borussia Dortmund 5-4 on penalties following a 2-2 full time result.
Chelsea manager Antonio Conte has made a late bid to sign Bayern Munich’s Renato Sanches ahead of AC Milan.
Conte is interested in taking the £30 million Portuguese star on loan for the season and has made an enquiry during Chelsea’s pre-season tour of Singapore.
Chelsea and Bayern faced each other in the International Champions Cup on Tuesday evening and it understood Conte spoke with Carlo Ancelotti, the Bundesliga champions’ manager, after the game to discuss a potential deal.
Bayern are prepared to allow Sanches, 19, out on loan for the season after a disappointing debut campaign and have also had interest from AC Milan for the midfielder.
But Conte is determined to strengthen his squad and has made a move to try and steal Sanches from under Milan’s noses.
Sanches was a high-profile capture for Bayern in May last year, joining from Benfica in a deal that could become £75m after instalments. There was also interest from Manchester United.
Conte has spent around £130m already this summer, smashing the club’s transfer record to sign Real Madrid’s Alvaro Morata, but wants at least three more signings.
Ahead of their final tour game against Inter Milan on Saturday, Conte said: “About the transfer window, my club knows very well my idea, which positions we need to strengthen and if this is possible it is okay, if not we continue this way.”
Conte has sanctioned the sales of last season’s leading scorer, Diego Costa, and midfielder Nemanja Matic but is adamant that Eden Hazard will not be leaving.
Reports in Spain have linked Barcelona with a possible move for the Belgium international but Conte is planning for the season ahead with him in his squad.
“In the past I read a lot of stories about Hazard with Real Madrid. And now Barcelona. But this is the transfer market, we must understand this,” he said.
“Will he be here next season? Yes. He is very happy to stay with us and to play for Chelsea.
AC Milan played like a team possessed as they pounded Bayern Munich 4-0 in a pre season friendly on Saturday at the Shenzhen Universiade Sports Centre, China.
Manchester United and Chelsea have both made a stunning move for Polish superstar Robert Lewandowski.
Robert Lewandowski’s agent Maik Barthel claims that the management and team-mates didn’t support him enough to become German’s top scorer towards the end of the season.
And Barthel’s comments have alerted top clubs to enquire about the possibility to signing the 28 year old this summer.
“Robert told me that he got no support and that the coach [ex-Chelsea boss Carlo Ancelotti] gave no call to help him in the last game to win the top-scorer title.
“He was disappointed as I have ever seen him before,” Barthel said.
Robert Lewandowski scored 43 goals for Bayern last season.
Bayern have batted away massive bids for players like Thomas Muller before with United offering £86million two years ago.
But much will depend on how strongly Lewandowski wants to push for a move.
The Polish veteran scored 43 goals for the German champions last season, with 30 of those goals helping them clinch their fifth consecutive Bundesliga title.
Jose Mourinho believes that Cristiano Ronaldo is just angling for more money from Real Madrid as he threatens to quit Bernabéu.
Mourinho has ruled out the return of Ronaldo to Old Trafford after the 32 year old stated he’s unhappy with what he perceives to be unfair treatment following a tax dispute with the Spanish authorities.
The Spanish authorities are pursuing £13m in unpaid tax which has led to reports in the Portuguese and Spanish media that the player wants to leave Madrid, with fresh reports emerging of a return to Manchester United.
But an inside source who has close ties with Mourinho revealed that a possible return is not going to happen.
Ronaldo’s future is uncertain following a tax dispute with the Spanish authorities
Asked if Mourinho expected Ronaldo’s return, a United insider said: “No. Ronaldo wants only money from Real, nothing more.”
Ronaldo, became the best-paid sportsmen in the world after moving to Madrid from Old Trafford and reports have it that the value Real have placed on him, is worth between £131m and £350m.
The Portuguese star has scored a club-record 406 goals in his 394 appearances for Real.
According to reports, both Paris-Saint Germain and Bayern have also been linked with a move for the four time Ballon D’Or winner, but Perez has dismissed any prospect of his player joining the Ligue 1 side or the German giants.
