Zinedine Zidane is close to becoming the new manager of Bayern Munich.

Zinedine Zidane is reportedly on the verge of becoming the new manager of Bayern Munich, according to The Sun. The Frenchman, who left Real Madrid in 2021, is said to have had successful talks with the German giants. Mundo Deportivo claims that an official agreement has not yet been reached, but the deal is practically done. Zidane is said to have requested a significant transfer budget to strengthen the squad upon his arrival.

In other news, Arsenal has made a £38 million bid for Eintracht Frankfurt defender Willian Pacho. The Ecuador international has been in impressive form this season and has caught the attention of Gunners boss Mikel Arteta. However, the offer falls short of Frankfurt’s valuation of the player, as they are seeking a minimum of £43 million.

Furthermore, Arsenal is stepping up their efforts to sign RB Leipzig striker Benjamin Sesko. The 20-year-old Slovenian has been in good form, scoring nine goals and providing two assists in the Bundesliga this season. Sesko has a release clause of £42.7 million, which is set to become active in the coming months. Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta is keen to add a dynamic forward to his squad, but faces competition from other clubs such as Manchester United, PSG, and AC Milan.

It looks set to be a busy summer for Arsenal in the transfer market as they aim to strengthen their squad ahead of the new season.
