Roberto De Zerbi is now the top choice to become the new manager of Bayern Munich, while Newcastle is considering bringing in Tosin Adarabioyo.
Roberto De Zerbi, the manager of Brighton & Hove Albion, is attracting attention from Bayern Munich in Germany. The Italian has hinted that he may leave Brighton this summer, and with the Bayern hotseat vacant, he could be the favourite to take over. The Daily Mail reports that De Zerbi has raised concerns about his future at Brighton and has been linked with other clubs like Liverpool and Barcelona. However, Bayern Munich presents an opportunity to manage one of Europe’s top clubs.
Newcastle United is set to sign Tosin Adarabioyo, beating out competition from Manchester United, AC Milan, and Tottenham. The Fulham defender is out of contract at the end of the season and has expressed his desire to leave. Newcastle is closing in on a free transfer for Adarabioyo, offering him a long-term deal worth over £100k-a-week. Other clubs from home and abroad have been interested in the defender, but Newcastle seems to be leading the race.
Barcelona is in need of funds this summer and Ronald Araujo could be a prime candidate to be sold. The Athletic reports that Araujo, who was signed for just £3.4 million, could provide Barcelona with a healthy profit if they sell him at market value. The club needs to sell before they can buy and only a few players are considered untouchable. Araujo’s value has significantly increased since his signing, making him an attractive asset for potential buyers.
Will Still, who recently left Reims, is still poised for the Sunderland job. The 31-year-old coach is now a free agent, and Sunderland can sign him without having to pay compensation. Still was previously linked with Sunderland and is expected to join the Championship club. He was a leading contender to succeed Tony Mowbray in December but ended up signing a new deal with Reims. Sunderland finished the season with interim appointments, but Still could be their next permanent manager.
