Kyle Walker is a target for Bayern Munich, who want to sign a right-back after João Cancelo’s return to Manchester City. Walker has just won his fifth Premier League title since joining City six years ago and has one year left on his contract.

The England international had a spell in March and April where he was left out of the first XI by Pep Guardiola and was then a substitute in the Champions League final. The 33-year-old is admired by Bayern’s manager, Thomas Tuchel.

The German champions have allowed Cancelo to go back to City after his loan and are getting closer to an agreement on personal terms with Napoli’s Kim Min-jae, putting them ahead of Manchester United in the chase for the South Korean. Bayern have told Kim’s representatives they intend to pay the release clause in the defender’s contract that will be valid in July.

City are interested in adding the defender Josko Gvardiol as well as the midfielder Mateo Kovacic to their squad. Negotiations with Gvardiol over personal terms are progressing well but RB Leipzig will sell the Croatia international only for a huge fee. City have agreed personal terms with Kovacic and his arrival from Chelsea is expected, with the clubs in talks.

Bernardo Silva is a priority target for Paris Saint-Germain but City have resolved to hold on to the Portuguese unless offered money too good to turn down. That mirrors their position last summer when Barcelona pursued Silva. PSG are continuing to try to hire Julian Nagelsmann as their head coach.

Tottenham have agreed a €30m (£25.6m) deal to buy Dejan Kulusevski from Juventus on a permanent deal after his spell on loan. There had been a €35m buy option but the terms have been renegotiated.
