Transfer rumour roundup: Bayern block Olise exit as Liverpool circle; Rashford eyed by PSG
Transfer rumour roundup: Bayern block Olise exit as Liverpool circle; Rashford eyed by PSG Bayern Munich block a potential exit for Michael Olise amid Liverpool links, while two clubs consider Marcus Rashford as Barcelona stall on a deal. It's Friday's transfer gossip. Liverpool's interest in Michael Olise has been met by an emphatic answer from Bayern Munich.
Earmarked as a potential Mohamed Salah successor, the German giants have no intention of entertaining offers. Bayern chief Uli Hoeness has said even £170m wouldn't be enough to prise the Frenchman from Munich this summer. One winger who will be on the move is Marcus Rashford.
Currently on loan at Barcelona, the Spanish side are stalling on a permanent deal. Rashford, however, will not be short of options. Caught Offside claim long-term suitors Paris Saint-Germain and AC Milan are keeping tabs on the situation.
PSG's potential interest in Rashford is not a direct result of expected departures. Sky Sports say that PSG expect Khvicha Kvaratskhelia to remain in the French capital, despite a rumoured approach from Arsenal . The Gunners have the Georgian on their summer shortlist, alongside Newcastle's Anthony Gordon and Real Madrid forward Rodrygo.
However, Arsenal could face disappointment in the race for Julian Alvarez. The North Londoners want to bring the Argentina international back to the Premier League but Barcelona are hatching a plan to beat them to the striker's signature. Fichajes say that Atletico Madrid's interest in Ferran Torres has opened the door for a player-plus-cash move to bring down Alvarez's asking price.
