Bayern Munich dismiss rift talk as Tim Binder signs
Mauricio Pochettino said Harry Kane deserves the Ballon d'Or, calling it 'Harry Kane's time' after what the Bayern striker has done in football.
Kompany praises Bodø as a 'great football story', citing their pressing and clear identity, but says Bayern's immediate priority in their Champions League opener is simply to win.
Max Eberl said Bayern explored moves for Bradley Barcola and Anthony Gordon but pulled out because both were too expensive, reshaping the squad instead.
Bayern's 2027-28 third kit is set to feature a dark khaki base with pink applications, an unprecedented colour combination, with release expected in August 2027.
Bild expect Bayern to start Ismael Saibari behind Kane against Bodø/Glimt, with Olise and Luis Díaz wide in a 4-2-3-1 as Kompany's side open their Champions League campaign.
Bayern have handed 19-year-old academy forward Tim Binder a professional deal until 2030 after he impressed Kompany in pre-season. He is recovering from a hamstring injury.
Kompany says Bayern are managing Serge Gnabry and Jamal Musiala carefully. Gnabry is close to returning, while Musiala remains in a build-up phase after rejoining training.
Arijon Ibrahimovic's Bayern exit caused irritation after mixed signals, but the loanee made a dream Augsburg start with a goal in a 4-1 win at Eintracht Frankfurt.
Bodø/Glimt coach Kjetil Knutsen calls Bayern the 'best team in the world' before Thursday's clash, saying the test will show where his side really stands.
Max Eberl says Bayern plan talks over Michael Olise's future and should know by next summer if he is leaning towards an extension. His deal runs to 2029 without a release clause.
Eberl calls rumours of a rift with Christoph Freund 'bullshit', saying their relationship is 'very good'. Tim Binder has signed until 2030, while Bodø/Glimt coach Kjetil Knutsen calls Bayern the world's best team.
