+++ November 24th: BVB, VfB and Co. chase second division jewel +++

According to Sky, 17 of the 18 Bundesliga clubs are interested in signing the talent. Only FC Bayern is said not to be interested in Lenz. “I can confirm that a lot of clubs, both national and international, have registered,” emphasized consultant Makram Naceur to the pay-TV channel.

+++ November 24th: FC Bayern hot for Argentina jewel +++
FC Bayern has apparently become aware of Tobias Andrada in its search for promising talent. The 18-year-old central midfielder is currently with Vélez Sarsfield in Argentina and has a contract there until the end of 2028.
As “Sábado Vélez” has learned, the Munich team is said to be impressed by the Argentine U20 international, who plays in the center of midfield and has great offensive drive.
According to the report, Andrada has an exit clause in his contract that allows him to move for a fixed sum of 14 million euros. According to “Sábado Vélez”, those responsible at Bayern rate the Argentine’s potential as high, and the FCB scouts have only received positive impressions so far.
“Flashscore” also reported that the Munich team recently observed the teenager in a test game and noticed his good control of the game. Accordingly, they are currently examining whether to submit an offer for the South American jewel. According to information from “fichajes.net”, there are no concrete negotiations yet.

+++ November 24th: Frankfurt keeps its “eyes and ears” open +++
Eintracht Frankfurt have scored a number of hits in recent transfer periods. A few weeks before the start of the winter change window, SGE head coach Dino Toppmöller is convinced that he will continue to get the right new additions to his system in the future. Keep your “eyes and ears” open. One position is currently not a particularly high priority. More about that here.
+++ November 24th: New name traded at FC Schalke 04 +++
FC Schalke 04 could increase their attack in the winter. As the club-affiliated “WAZ” learned, funds still need to be raised, primarily through sales. Nevertheless, according to the newspaper, there is already a shopping list with desired players.
A new name has now appeared on this list: Samed Bazdar! The 21-year-old is a striker and plays for Real Zaragoza. It is said that S04 coach Miron Muslic can easily imagine the attacking man from the Spanish second division team in his team. Like Muslic, Bazdar is Bosnian.
The attacker is considered a great talent, is already a permanent national player and has been active for Zaragoza since 2024. He still has a contract there until the summer of 2029, so a transfer fee would be due. The current market value is said to be around two million euros.
After four goals and four assists in the previous season, Bazdar has only scored one goal in eight appearances so far in 2025/26.
In order to finance Bazdar, Moussa Sylla could be sold; according to “WAZ”, he is still a candidate if an immoral offer comes in in the coming transfer period.

+++ November 23rd: Condition for another Sancho return +++
Rumors keep popping up about Jadon Sancho returning to Borussia Dortmund.

Above all, Sancho would probably have to forego half of his current XXL salary. This is reportedly around 15 million euros per year.
The Manchester United winger is currently on loan at Aston Villa, but Sancho is currently not convincing here either.
