Marseille explore loan move for Bayern full-back Sacha Boey
Bayern acquired the Frenchman for around €35 million last summer following his impressive spell at Galatasaray.

However, Boey's debut season in the Bundesliga didn't pan out well, marred by injuries and a lack of game time.
The 24-year-old managed only six starts in 13 games last season.
Boey is facing an uncertain future at the Allianz Arena, and reports continue to link him with top European clubs.
Marseille are planning to hand Boey an escape route, but Bayern insist on a permanent sale rather than a loan transfer.
Meanwhile, Boey is determined to fight for his place at Bayern and replicate the fine form he displayed in Turkey.
He is currently enjoying a prolific Club World Cup, netting a goal and an assist in two games. He looks to maintain the momentum heading into the new season.

If Bayern are to part ways with Boey, it will leave them with Konrad Laimer as the only reliable right-back in the squad.
Therefore, the Bavarians would try to reinvest in a new full-back in the transfer window, though their priority is currently VfB Stuttgart's Nick Woltemade.
Elsewhere, Boey could be a brilliant addition for Marseille, who will be competing in the Champions League next season.
Moreover, the Frenchman's style of play makes him a natural fit for Roberto De Zerbi's possession-based and attacking approach.
Spanish full-back Pol Lirola could leave Stade Velodrome this summer as he is considered surplus to requirements. Boey can add depth to Marseille's defence.

Vingegaard 'stronger than ever' as Tour de France start looms
Jonas Vingegaard on the eve of the Grand Depart (Bo Amstrup) Two-time champion Jonas Vingegaard said he was feeling stronger than ever Friday and confident of winning another Tour de France as tensions mount on the eve of the start. Cycling's greatest race also features what may be one of sport's greatest rivalries, as the softly spoken Vingegaard vies with defending champion Tadej Pogacar, who has more of a swashbuckling style. Advertisement Slovenian Pogacar attacks at the slightest provocation, whereas the Dane tends to stick to a carefully plotted plan. The pair have won the past five Tour de France between them and the 112th edition gets underway Saturday from the northern city of Lille. It has an old school itinerary favouring climbers such as wispy Vingegaard. And the 28-year-old Dane was promising to fulfil his part of the bargain over the 21-day extravaganza. "I'm on the highest level that I've ever been," said the 2022 and 2023 winner. Vingegaard explained he was more muscular after changing training routine to fully recover from a bad crash last year. Advertisement "I'm more heavy now than I was last year, but it's muscle and it gives a lot more power. Let's see if that's enough," he said. Vingegaard smiled as he was asked directly about Pogacar, who claimed Thursday that Vingegaard was the best climber in the world. "I have a lot of admiration for Tadej," he said. "He's a very nice guy and a very good bike rider." - Evenepoel fired up - Those words are a far cry from the early days of the rivalry. The magnificent 3,338-kilometre route in the first edition since 2020 not to venture abroad starts with a flat stage around Lille expected to hand the first overall leader's jersey to a sprinter. Advertisement But the 184 riders from 23 teams will rove across the north to the west of Brittany in the opening ten days on often narrow rolling roads. Aggressive, hotly contested battles for the right to the yellow jersey and huge roadside crowds of several hundred thousand are expected each day. Belgian rider Remco Evenepoel is hotly tipped to take the yellow jersey by at least stage five. Evenepoel is Olympic and world champion in the time trial and vowed Thursday to "go all in all the way" on the 33km time-trial around Caen. "I'm here to compete, to make it harder for them. Last year I was third. I'm going to give my maximum and we'll see in a couple of weeks," said Evenepoel. Advertisement The volcanoes of the Puy de Dome present the first mountains as late as stage 10 when the riders get their first day off. There are two more colossal climb days in the Pyrenees before the blockbuster final week in the Alps where cycling folklore says the Tour is won. dmc/ea

PSG vs Bayern Munich prediction & Club World Cup betting tips: Goals galore in Atlanta
PSG vs Bayern Munich Betting Tips Over 3.5 goals - 7/5 William Hill Kane to score at any time - 7/5 Betfred After winning the Champions League in May, Paris St-Germain can take a huge step towards Club World Cup glory if they can beat German giants Bayern Munich on Saturday (5pm, DAZN). Advertisement The French side are the favourites on betting sites to lift the trophy later this month, ahead of Chelsea, Real Madrid and then Bayern, who round out the top four in the Club World Cup odds. PSG finished top of the Group B table with two wins and a defeat, losing 1-0 to Brazilian side Botofogo. They made no mistakes in the round of 16 though, making short work of Lionel Messi's Inter Miami side as they ran out 4-0 winners. Bayern finished second in Group C behind Benfica after two wins and a defeat from their three group games. The loss came at the hands of the Portuguese sideafter they had already secured qualification so it would be dangerous to read too much into that result. The German giants then faced Flamengo in Miami, winning 4-2 with Harry Kane scoring twice to bring an end to the Brazilian side's 11-match unbeaten run. Advertisement The Bavarians have scored 16 goals from their four games in the US, a number helped largely by their 10-0 win over Auckland City back on 15 June, while they have conceded four. PSG have scored 10 and conceded just one, so we can expect goals in this one. PSG vs Bayern Munich betting preview: Heavyweight clash to live up to the hype Both sides had an excellent end to the season with PSG winning Ligue 1 and the Champions League, for the first time ever, while Bayern secured their 34th Bundesliga title. Betting sites have PSG as the favourites to progress, but it was Bayern that came out on top the last time the teams came together. Advertisement These two met in last season's Champions League with Bayern winning 1-0 in the league phase. Min-Jae Kim scored the only goal of the game after 33 minutes at the Allianz Arena, before PSG had striker Ousmane Dembele sent off. We are expecting more goals in this one and fancy PSG to be the side who go through to the semi-finals. PSG vs Bayern Munich prediction 1: Over 3.5 goals - 7/5 William Hill PSG vs Bayern best bets: 41 and counting for Kane Harry Kane's brace last time out were his 40th and 41st goals of the season for Bayern and took his tally for club and country to 48 in 59 appearances. It is the second year in a row that the England striker has reached 40 goals for Bayern since making the move from Tottenham in the summer of 2023. Advertisement He ended last season with 44 goals in all competitions and you can bet he has one eye on bettering that this time around. Betting apps are offering 5/1 on him scoring first or last or you can get 9/1 on him scoring two or more again.
