Bayern Munich has tough roster decisions to make…

Spurs want to keep Tel (Fabrizio Romano via @iMiaSanMia)

When Bayern Munich loaned Mathys Tel to Tottenham Hotspur, there was always a legitimate chance that the young striker might never return to Bavaria.

It seems like Spurs would like to make that scenario play out, but do want to pay less than Bayern Munich rumored 40 million asking price:

Tottenham are happy with Mathys Tel, his potential and his commitment. Spurs are open to keeping Tel permanently and will try to renegotiate an agreement on different numbers with Bayern. (Wednesday)’s Europa League final and the possibility of playing Champions League football next season could have a big impact on Tel’s decision whether to stay at Spurs or not.

It is unclear if Bayern Munich has any plans for the future with Tel, but it does seem as if there might already be a sentiment to move on from the Frenchman. In need of revenue, the Bavarians really might be willing to play “Let’s Make a Deal” with Tottenham.

Milan, Napoli eyeing Chiesa (Calciomercato via ESPN)

AC Milan and Napoli could be looking at Liverpool FC attacker Federico Chiesa:

Liverpool forward Federico Chiesa, who has made only five Premier League appearances this season, is wanted by AC Milan and Napoli — although the 27-year-old would also be prepared to stay at Anfield and show he has more to offer.

It is a shame, but Chiesa looks like one of those players who does not come all the way back from an ACL injury.

Barcelona have reached an agreement with Raphinha over new deal, all done!

The Brazilian will sign until June 2028, one more important renewal for Barça with Deco’s huge work in recent months.

Chelsea, LFC eyeing Real star (ESPN)

Chelsea would love to make a move for Real Madrid attacker Rodrygo…if he makes himself available:

Brazil international Rodrygo is considering leaving Real Madrid this summer with several top European clubs interested, Marca reports. The winger is said to be disappointed that his playing style isn’t being catered to by boss Carlo Ancelotti. According to Spanish outlet, only the appointment of Bayer Leverkusen head coach Xabi Alonso could convince Rodrygo to stay put. The likes of Liverpool and Chelsea have been linked with the 24-year-old, who is under contract at the Bernabéu until June 2028.

Bavarian Podcast Works — Flagship Show: Season 7, Episode 43 (Bavarian Football Works)

Bayern Munich’s season is over, but the real work might just be beginning.

This is a crucial offseason for the Bavarians and the coaching staff and front office will be hard at work to try and maneuver the roster in a way that will set up the squad for the 2025/26 campaign. We have a lot to say about that, so let’s get to it.

This is what we have on tap for the Bavarian Podcast Works Show:

• How should we view this season…and what did we learn?
• The standard must be — and will be — higher next season.
• Is there reason to think that Harry Kane might see out his contract…or even stay longer?
• Bayern Munich has key decisions to make in the coming weeks as Dayot Upamecano, Leroy Sané, Sacha Boey, and João Palhinha are among the players where movement is possible (in one way or another). Let’s break those situations down.
• Is this a Florian Wirtz-free podcast? Almost, but not quite.
• Some notes about the Bavarian Podcast Works summer schedule.
