Marseille explore loan move for Bayern full-back Sacha Boey
Marseille are exploring a loan move for Bayern Munich full-back Sacha Boey this summer, according to Foot Mercato. Bayern acquired the Frenchman for around €35 million last summer following his impressive spell at Galatasaray. Advertisement 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. Advertisement 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.

Bayern defeat Mainz, but Leverkusen keep title race alive
Munich's Leroy Sane (R) celebrates scoring his side's first goal with his teammate Konrad Laimer during the German Bundesliga soccer match between Bayern Munich and FSV Mainz 05 at Allianz Arena. Daniel Löb/dpa Bayern Munich defeated Mainz 3-0 on Saturday, but the Bundesliga title race will go on as defending champions Bayer Leverkusen won 2-0 against Augsburg. Bayern had the first chance to wrap up their 34th national title - 33rd in the Bundesliga era - this weekend, but needed Leverkusen to drop points at home. Advertisement The gap between the teams remained eight points with three games left and the Bavarians will now take the trophy next weekend if they avoid defeat at RB Leipzig. Borussia Dortmund, meanwhile, took advantage of Mainz's defeat and entered the European places with a 3-2 win in stoppage time at Hoffenheim. Elsewhere, lowly Holstein Kiel claimed a sensational 4-3 win against Borussia Mönchengladbach, while Freiburg defeated 10-man VfL Wolfsburg 1-0. Later on Saturday, Eintracht Frankfurt host Leipzig. Bayern's title party must wait After winning 11 consecutive Bundesliga titles between 2013 and 2023, Bayern were dethroned last season by Leverkusen. They look set to reclaim the crown, but the title party will have to wait at least until next weekend. Advertisement The Bavarians went ahead against Mainz through Leroy Sané in the 27th minute. Things got a little clumsy in the box after Sané received a pass from Konrad Laimer, but he managed to dribble the defenders and find the net. Michael Olise doubled their lead in the 39th, with a beautiful footwork to beat the defender before slotting the ball into the net. Sané got close to a brace in the 62nd, but was denied by the post, before Eric Dier's header completed the win in the 84th. Bayern icon Thomas Müller came on shortly before Dier's goal to make his 500th Bundesliga appearance. The 35-year-old is likely on his farewell tour in the league as his contract with Bayern expires this summer and he won't receive a new deal. Advertisement Leverkusen won't go down without a fight The defending champions showed that they will fight until the last moment when they took the lead against Augsburg in the 13th minute - when the Bayern v Mainz game was still 0-0. In a lethal counter-attack, Nathan Tella received the ball from Florian Wirtz and served Patrik Schik, who smashed it home from outside the box. Shortly before the break, a cleared ball was worked to Emiliano Buendia, who found a shooting angle to hit the far corner. Augsburg were never a real threat as Leverkusen just controlled the game in the second half. Dortmund claim dramatic win Dortmund needed a stoppage-time goal from Waldemar Anton to take an important victory in the fight for the Champions League at Hoffenheim. Advertisement The guests went ahead in the 20th minute after a lengthy video review confirmed Serhou Guirassy's goal, but the forward had a penalty saved by Oliver Baumann in the 34th. Adam Hlozek levelled for Hoffenheim in the 61st, but Dortmund retook the lead through Julian Brandt in the 74th. The game was not over yet, as the hosts hit back and Pavel Kaderabek thought he had snatched at least a point for Hoffenheim in the first minute of stoppage-time. But it was Anton who had the final word after receiving the ball from Guirassy. Goalkeeper Baumann was injured as he tried to block Guirassy and Hoffenheim wanted the goal ruled out, but video review confirmed Dortmund's win. Advertisement Drama also in Kiel Relegated-threatened Kiel took a 2-0 lead against Gladbach in the first 23 minutes thanks to Shuto Machino and Alexander Bernhardsson. Second-half goals from Tomas Cvancara and Alassane Plea equalized the score, before Kiel went again ahead in the 76th through Armin Gigovic. Gladbach once more levelled as Franck Honorat found the net in the 86th, but Machino completed the hard-fought and crucial win for Kiel in stoppage time. Kiel are still in the drop zone, but moved up to 17th and are three points from the play-off spot.

Inter Milan vs Bayern Munich predictions, odds, betting tips and team news
Inter Milan vs Bayern Munich predictions, odds, betting tips and team news Inter Milan will host Bayern Munich at the San Siro on Wednesday, April 16th, for the second leg of their Champions League quarter-final tie. The game kicks off at 20:00 and will be broadcast live on TNT Sports 2. The Italian side managed a 2-1 win in the first leg with goals from Lautaro Martinez and Davide Frattesi, while Thomas Muller was on the scoresheet for Bayern in his final season with the club. Inter are the 1/3 favourites with most bookmakers to progress to the final four of the Champions League, and for those looking to get Bayern on-side, 9/4 is available. Lautaro Martinez Anytime Scorer (15/8 with Sky Bet) Champions League fans were treated to some incredible goals in the first leg ties, with one of those coming from Lautaro Martinez when he opened the scoring with a beautiful outside-of-the-foot finish. Advertisement The Argentine has been in excellent form in the Champions League and has scored on each of his last four appearances in the competition, including a hat-trick against Monaco in the final league phase game. Martinez has a further 11 goals in Serie A this season and can once again trouble the German defence on Wednesday. Konrad Laimer to be Carded (7/4 with Paddy Power) No player has been shown more cards in the Bundesliga for Bayern this season than Konrad Laimer, who looks a strong proposition to be carded in this clash. The Austrian averages a card every 175 minutes in the Bundesliga this season, with seven cautions in total. He has also been booked twice in the Champions League and found his way into the book in the DFB-Pokal earlier in the campaign. Inter Milan vs Bayern Munich Odds How both teams go into Inter Milan vs Bayern Munich In the Bundesliga, Bayern have been their usual imperious selves and currently sit top of the league by six points with six games remaining. They've hit a couple of speedbumps along the way recently, falling to a defeat against Bochum and only managing a draw against Union Berlin but they got back to top form in the two games since, beating St Pauli and Augsburg, scoring six goals in the process. Advertisement Bayern will still be confident that they can turn this tie around after the 2-1 defeat in the first leg. The final is being held at their Allianz Arena this term, but they have not shone in the competition like in other years. Kompany's side finished 12th in the group stage with five wins and three defeats, so had to go through the knockout phase play-offs. There Bayern were drawn against Celtic and needed a late equaliser in the second leg to avoid extra-time, taking the tie 3-2 on aggregate. Things were a bit more straightforward in the last 16 though, as Bayern beat German rivals Bayer Leverkusen 5-0 across the two legs. This game sees a repeat of the 2010 final, when Inter last lifted the trophy. The Italians have been tough to beat in the Champions League this season, finishing fourth in the group with six wins, one draw and one defeat. They boasted the toughest defence in the group, conceding just one goal. They conceded one goal in the last 16 too, but that came with a 4-1 aggregate victory over Feyenoord. They now hold the upper hand after their 2-1 win in Germany, and with an impressive defensive European record, they will be confident of seeing the job through. Inter hold a six point lead at the top of Serie A, although their closest rivals Napoli have a game in hand. The side have picked up four wins from their last five games, with a draw against Parma being the only thing keeping them from holding a perfect record coming into this game. Inter Milan team news After missing the first leg, Denzel Dumfries could be back for Inter by the time this game comes around, but Stefan de Vrij remains a doubt. Bayern Munich team news Bayern should have Manuel Neuer back in time for this game, after Jonas Urbig played in goal in the 2-1 defeat against Inter a few days ago. Alphonso Davies is out for the season with an ACL injury, while Dayot Upamecano is also sidelined until the summer. Bayern Munich vs Inter Milan head-to-head This will be the 11th meeting between these two sides, with Bayern and Inter most recently facing off in the 2022-23 Champions League group stage prior to this quarter-final. Bayern hold the advantage with five wins to four, but Inter do have the 2-0 victory in the 2009-10 Champions League final. *Using Bookmaker/Affiliate links on may earn us a commission, at no additional cost to you. 18+ only.

Bayern roar past Heidenheim with 34th title in clear sight
HEIDENHEIM, Germany, April 19 (Reuters) - Bayern Munich had little trouble beating lowly Heidenheim 4-0 on Saturday to put themselves within touching distance of the Bundesliga title. The table now shows Bayern at the top with 72 points, nine ahead of Bayer Leverkusen who face St. Pauli on Sunday, with four rounds left to play. With Bayern racing into a three-goal lead after just 36 minutes — courtesy of Harry Kane's precision, Konrad Laimer's drive and Kingsley Coman's flair — there was little doubt about Saturday's outcome. Joshua Kimmich then took his time before rifling a shot into the corner for 4-0 in the 56th minute as Bayern surged ahead at full throttle in their relentless pursuit of their 34th league crown.
