Bayern Munich president Herbert Hainer to run for re-election
Bayern are predominantly owned by their members, who hold 75% of shares; the remaining 25% is evenly split with Allianz, Audi and Adidas holding an 8.3% stake.
As CEO of Adidas, Hainer oversaw the company's 2002 acquisition of a 10% stake in Bayern, making the sportswear giant the club's first official shareholder. This investment laid the financial foundation for the construction of the Allianz Arena.
A Bayern fan from a young age, Hainer has overseen five Meisterschale triumphs as well as a solitary DFB Pokal win and the behind-closed-doors 2020 Champions League victory.

Chelsea Are In Advanced Talks To Land This Bundesliga Playmaker: Good Signing For Maresca?
In a recent newsletter with Give Me Sport, respected journalist Fabrizio Romano revealed that Chelsea are in advanced talks to land Red Bull Leipzig playmaker Xavi Simons this summer. Romano said, 'Yes, but Eze is higher on their list and Simons is currently in advanced talks with Chelsea.' Simons' Impressive Form In The Bundesliga Simons enjoyed a decent run of form at the German club after he put in a series of impressive performances for them on the offensive end of the pitch. The 22-year-old netted 11 goals and earned eight assists in 33 matches for RB Leipzig last season across multiple competitions. The Dutch playmaker deserves some credit for averaging 2.09 shots per 90 minutes in the Bundesliga. He kept 46% of his attempts on target. Simons was even tidy when distributing the ball in the opponent's half, as evidenced by his pass success rate of 78.6% in the top tier of German football (stats via His current contract at the German club will run out in the summer of 2027. Therefore, Chelsea would have to make a big offer if they want to bring him to Stamford Bridge this off-season. WOLFSBURG, GERMANY – APRIL 11: Xavi Simons of RB Leipzig celebrates scoring his team's third goal during the Bundesliga match between VfL Wolfsburg and RB Leipzig at the Volkswagen Arena on April 11, 2025 in Wolfsburg, Germany. (Photo by) Is Simons A Good Signing For Chelsea? Simons is a good dribbler with the ball at his feet and has got the vision to engineer a few inviting chances for his teammates in the final third. He usually generates a lot of power with his shot attempts from long range and can contribute by scoring and creating his fair share of goals up top. The Dutch talent is primarily an attacking midfielder but can also play as a winger on either flank if needed. However, he might need some time to settle into life in the Premier League if the West London club manage to sign him this summer. Still, we can expect Simons to bring more firepower to Chelsea head coach Enzo Maresca's attack. He is good enough to fight for regular first-team football at Stamford Bridge next season. At 22, the future looks quite bright for Simons as long as he continues to improve with each year. He will also help the Blues compete across all fronts in the coming years. Hence, Simons would be an excellent signing for Chelsea to pull off in this summer transfer period.

Arne Slot hints at possible Luis Diaz exit from Liverpool
Liverpool's coach, Arne Slot, confirmed that Luis Díaz's absence in the friendly against AC Milan in Hong Kong was due to his possible departure from the club. The Colombian winger did not play in the "Reds'" defeat against the Italians, fueling rumors about his future. "It was a technical decision related to his current situation in the market," explained Slot, hinting that offers for the player are being evaluated. Luis Díaz has recently been linked with teams such as Bayern and FC Barcelona, which ultimately opted for Marcus Rashford. His exclusion reinforces the idea that he could be living his last days at Anfield to head to the Bundesliga. The club remains tight-lipped, but his departure seems increasingly imminent.

Luis Diaz left out of Milan game due to discussions over Liverpool future, says Arne Slot
Arne Slot confirmed that Luis Diaz was left out of Liverpool's 4-2 friendly defeat to Milan in Hong Kong due to ongoing discussions over his future. The Colombian attacker is being pursued by Bayern Munich, who had an opening offer of €67.5million (£58.6m; $78.8m) rejected earlier this month. The Bundesliga outfit remain determined to secure his service as talks between the clubs continue. Advertisement 'In Lucho's situation it was (linked to his future), yeah,' Slot said. 'There are a lot of rumours around it lately and I cannot go into that. He is training really well with us but we have decided, for now, not to play him yet. 'Yes (I've spoken to Diaz about it) but I am used to talking to most of my players on a regular basis. Like I said, Lucho is training really well but we've decided that he is best not playing at the moment in the games and I cannot comment much more than that.' Darwin Nunez was another high profile absentee against Milan. The Uruguayan has also been heavily linked with a move away from Anfield this summer. However, Slot insisted that his absence was fitness related. 'In Darwin's situation, he has trained really well and played a few good games for us already this pre-season. He was injured so we didn't want to take the risk,' he added. 'It was also the same with Wata (Endo) — trained with us all week but we didn't want to take a risk with him either. It is part of pre-season, the boys need to get towards match fitness and that is a thin balance, a thin line sometimes. In this situation we thought it was smarter for Darwin and Wata to sit it out today but I assume they will be with us when we are in Japan for the next game.' Asked if Diaz wants to leave Liverpool, Slot said: 'I am not the person to ask.' ()
