It has come to light that Bayern Munich’s Vincent Kompany may be interested in signing Chelsea defender Levi Colwill.
The 28-year-old Jonathan Tah is eager to join Bayern from rivals Bayer Leverkusen, despite playing a crucial role in Xabi Alonso’s undefeated team that won the Bundesliga last season. Negotiations have been initiated.
The Blues are unwilling to sell, despite Colwill’s knowledge of Bayern’s interest and the fact that preliminary approaches have been made. Following an impressive loan stint at Brighton, the 21-year-old has been eager to get regular playing time.
Before injuries limited him late in the season, he played in 32 games for Chelsea last year.
Even though Fulham turned down Bayern’s £30 million proposal for Joao Palhinha last week, the two clubs are still in talks about a cost.
Jacob Bruun Larsen’s transfer to Fulham has sparked interest from Hoffenheim. Last year, Burnley had the 25-year-old Danish winger on loan.
After consulting with the former Chelsea manager, Manchester United have decided on Mauricio Pochettino

The Dutchman is still in a precarious position as the club’s revamped hierarchy evaluates the season, despite widespread rumors that Ten Hag would be fired regardless of United’s performance at Wembley.
Pochettino, Kieran McKenna, Roberto De Zerbi, Zinedine Zidane, Thomas Tuchel, and Gareth Southgate are among the prominent managers whose names have been mentioned in connection to Ten Hag’s potential replacement.The number of candidates on that list is reportedly dropping, with Pochettino being the most recent to be let go, as reported by The Times. The 52-year-old reportedly is no longer being considered for the Old Trafford position, having departed Chelsea last month via mutual agreement.
Pochettino was on INEOS’s original list of candidates when the club started its annual evaluation and met with United’s managers at season’s end.
The former manager of Tottenham and PSG was also considered for the position of head coach at the Theatre of Dreams in 2022, when Ten Hag was selected, but he is likely to be passed over again.

Meanwhile, Kieran McKenna, who had been Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s assistant at United, essentially pulled himself out of the running by extending his contract with Ipswich for four years.
Pochettino, who was let go by Chelsea just weeks ago, was back at Stamford Bridge on Sunday night to lead a World XI team that played England in this year’s Soccer Aid, a charity event that raised more than £15 million.Pochettino expressed his willingness to engage with teams in the lead-up to the upcoming season, indicating his eagerness to return to top-level management immediately.
After his World XI team lost 6-3 in west London, he spoke to talkSPORT and said, “I have full energy and I think we [Chelsea] finished really well.”
The next step is to observe the outcome. In football, anything can happen at any moment; we’re prepared to listen to any possibility that presents itself.
“Open to football, we’re open to football,” Pochettino nodded when asked if he would be happy to return to the Premier League. He smiled broadly.
