Contract talks stalemate... Bayern Munich departure after nine years
Jozua Kimmich (28-Bayern Munich) could leave the club this summer for a new challenge amid deadlocked contract talks. Already attracting interest from several English Premier League (EPL) clubs, it is believed that if Kimmich decides to part ways, a move could be finalized quickly.
According to German outlet Bavarian Football on Wednesday, Kimmich is ready to leave this summer if Bayern Munich fail to reach an agreement during contract talks. The German international is currently at the European Football Championship 2024 (Euro 2024), so contract talks have been put on hold, but he is expected to leave if an agreement is not reached after Euro 2024.
Kimmich is under contract with Bayern Munich until June 2025. That's just over a year away, with no option to extend. However, the future remains unclear as the two sides have yet to agree on a new contract. In the meantime, Bayern Munich have been in talks with Kimmich to re-sign him, but they have been unsuccessful. There have been no concrete discussions since.
In the meantime, several clubs have been actively pursuing Kimmich. In fact, Liverpool, Manchester City, Manchester United, Arsenal, Barcelona, Paris Saint-Germain (PSG), and others have been linked with a 먹튀검증가이드 move for Kimmich. Barcelona coach Jupp Heynckes (59-Germany) is particularly keen to reunite with Kimmich.
Kimmich has finally decided to move on to a new challenge, with Bayern Munich stalling in contract talks and receiving offers from multiple clubs. Bayern Munich are also considering selling Kimmich this summer if a new deal cannot be reached, as they will only be able to realize a transfer fee if they sell him.
"Kimmich will look to move on if he fails to reach an agreement on a new contract," Bavarian Football said, adding that the English Premier League (EPL) could be the next destination. Several EPL clubs have put Kimmich on their transfer lists. If Kimmich decides to leave Bayern Munich, the transfer talks will move quickly."
Kimmich is a midfielder who made his professional debut for Leipzig in 2013, before moving on to Stuttgart and finally joining Bayern Munich in January 2015. At the beginning of his career, he was mainly used as a rotation player, but as time went on, his steep development curve and the departure of competitors made him a regular starter and he quickly established himself as a key player.
Today, Kimmich has played 390 games (42 goals-104 assists) for Bayern Munich and has made history by winning eight German Bundesliga titles, three DFB Pokal Cups, six German Football League (DFL) Super Cups, one UEFA Champions League (UCL), and one FIFA Club World Cup.
1000 wins and Kim In-sung will win the Hanwha Korean Series to surpass Kim Tae-hyung
Kim Kyung-moon is the new head coach of the Hanwha Eagles.
Hanwha officially announced the appointment of Kim Kyung-moon (66) as head coach shortly after the team's loss to the Daegu Samsung Lions on Feb. 2. Kim signed a contract with Hanwha from this season to the 2026 season with an annual salary of 500 million won and a total of 2 billion won. With a career record of 896 wins, 774 losses, and 30 draws, Kim is getting one last chance at baseball.
Hanwha won its only Korean Series title in 1999. They haven't played in the Korean Series since 2006. The drought is severe. In the meantime, the organization has been torn between rebuilding and winning, and has been in the dark for nearly 20 years. Their only postseason appearance came in 2018.
But Kim Kyung-moon is even more thirsty for a championship. He hasn't won a championship since starting his managerial career with the Doosan Bears in 2004. In 2005, he lost four games to the Samsung Lions, and in 2007 and 2008, he lost two games to the SK Wyverns and one game to the NC Dinos. In 2016, the NC Dinos were swept by Doosan in four games. They have finished as runners-up in the Korean Series four times.
Still, Kim has only failed to lead a team to the postseason in 2006 with Doosan and 2013, his first season with NC, in full-time seasons. Coincidentally, his teams also fell short in 2011 (Doosan) and 2018 (NC) when he resigned midseason.
In short, Kim Kyung-moon is a manager who can't guarantee his team will win the Korean Series, but he can at least guarantee a spot in the postseason. With Hanwha's goal of reaching the postseason, let alone winning the Korean Series, Kim's intuition for players and his ability to solidify the team's present and future made him a perfect fit.
Hanwha signed the 896-win coach to a three-year contract. He will coach 87 games this season and 144 games next year. With 104 wins, he will become the third coach to reach 1,000 wins after Kim Eung-yong (1,554 wins) and Kim Sung-geun (1,388 wins). 104 wins in 231 games is less than a 50% winning percentage. At the very least, we can assume that Hanwha will need to reach 1,000 wins next year to stay on track. At the latest, the team will need to reach 1,000 wins at the beginning of the 2026 메이저토토사이트 season, the last season of his contract, for the team to be in good shape.
Once Kim reaches 1,000 wins with Hanwha, he will surpass Kim In-sung with 978 wins, Kim Jae-bak with 936 wins, and Kang Byung-chul with 914 wins. He will become the third-winningest manager in the KBO, behind Kim Eung-yong and Kim Sung-geun.
If Kim manages to win a Korean Series title during his contract, Hanwha could look to re-sign him beyond the 2026 season. In that case, he could become the longest-serving manager in history. The highest contracts for active managers are Lee Kang-cheol of the KT Wiz (3.4 billion won) and Kim Tae-hyung of the Lotte Giants (2.4 billion won). Kim Kyung-moon is the fourth-best active KBO manager, behind LG Twins manager Yoon Kyung-yup's three-year, 2.1 billion won contract.
If Kim Kyung-moon can maintain a steady performance for three years and help Hanwha win the Korean Series, he could surpass or match Kim Tae-hyung, who holds the all-time record with a three-year, 2.8 billion won ($2.8 million in salary, 700 million in signing bonus) contract with the Doosan Bears heading into the 2020 season.
In addition, Kim Kyung-moon signed a two-year, 390 million won contract in 2004-2005, a three-year, 800 million won contract in 2006-2008, and a three-year, 1.4 billion won contract in 2009-2011, all while at Doosan. In the NC, he signed a three-year, 1.4 billion won contract from 2012 to 2014, a three-year, 1.7 billion won contract from 2014 to 2016, and a three-year, 2 billion won contract from 2017 to 2019. The total amount is 9.69 billion won. Of course, he hasn't received all of this money, but if he signs a new contract with Hanwha, his total contract amount will exceed 10 billion won.
Can Kim Kyung-moon surpass his mentor and predecessor Kim In-saeng, and his protégé and junior Kim Tae-hyung, the great challenge begins.
'Shocked' Real player negotiates transfer with Atletico
In a shocking move, the player is seeking a move to a local rival.
"Dani Ceballos, 27, wants to betray Real Madrid and leave Atletico Madrid this summer," Spanish media outlet Marca reported on Wednesday.
Ceballos joined Real in 2017 from Real Betis. Having proven his potential at Betis, it was expected that he would have no problem fitting in at Real.
The reality was different. Ceballos struggled for playing time at Real. He was pushed out of the lineup by Toni Kroos and Luka Modric, and only made 22 appearances in his first season.
Ceballos didn't give up easily. In 2019, after a loan spell at Arsenal, he was once again in contention for the Real first team. It was hoped that his experience at Arsenal would prove invaluable.
His performance exceeded expectations. Last season, he scored one goal and provided nine assists in 46 games across all competitions, leapfrogging Kroos and Modric into a near first-team role.
He was rewarded with a new contract. "We have extended the 스포츠토토 contract of Ceballos until 2027," Real announced on the club's official website last year.
The happy partnership didn't last until this season. Ceballos was once again relegated to the bench this season as he struggled to compete for a starting role. He started just two games in the league.
His patience was wearing thin. According to the report, Ceballos recently entered advanced talks with Atletico over a move this summer.
Signing a new midfielder is one of Atletico's top targets for the summer. Atletico boss Diego Simeone has now identified Ceballos as a key target, after initially targeting Youssouf Fofana.
It is not unlikely that a deal will go through. According to Marca, "Real already have plenty of midfield options. If the right offer comes in, they will allow Ceballos to leave," according to Marca.
Doosan's An Bang-ma, who hit the game-winning hit for LG Electronics, praises his teammates
Doosan Bears slugger Yang-ji Yang hit the game-winning hit in the Jamsil Rivalry Game.
Yang started as the No. 3 designated hitter against LG at Jamsil Stadium in Seoul on Wednesday. He didn't wear a catcher's mask on this day, focusing solely on batting as he worked on his fitness.
Yang went 1-for-3 with one hit, one walk, and two RBIs in the win. He was thrown out at first base on a fielder's choice in the first inning, but came around to hit a two-run single in the decisive third inning to tie the game at 1-1. In the fifth inning, he reached on a fielder's choice. In the eighth, he drew a walk with one out.
After the game, Yang praised his teammates, saying, "I think we did a great job today with Yu-sung and the other pitchers and with Ki-hyun, so we were able to get a really valuable win."
"In the first at-bat, I was a little late to the fastball, so I just saw a one-ball and turned it around, and it was a lucky hit on the course. The pitchers behind me did a good job and we were able to win the game," he said.
Doosan lost to LG 5 games to 11 last year. This year, they have taken a 3-1 lead against LG. Yang also has a good individual performance against LG. In a three-game series against LG in April, he 메이저사이트 batted 3-for-12 with four doubles and three RBIs. With his 3-for-1 day and two RBI, he is now 3-for-15 (5-for-6) with six RBI in four games against LG Electronics.
Yang said, "I didn't do well last year, so I'm focusing on doing better this year, but I don't know. "I don't think it's a specific team, I think it's different from year to year. Sometimes I'm in good shape and sometimes I'm not, so I think the results came out accordingly," she said about the Jamsil rivalry.
Yang played in 16 games for LG Electronics last year, batting just 2-for-5 (13-for-52) with one home run and four RBIs.
"He's doing so well right now that I have nothing but praise for him," said Kim Ki-yeon, who started at catcher. "I was able to focus on hitting a little more comfortably, and I think I'll have a higher percentage of designated hitters. Ki-hyun is doing so well, he's hitting the ball well, and he's leading off a lot, so I'm really happy for him," he said with a smile.
Winning the first game of the Children's Day Derby Yang Ji said, "It's still early in the season, so I don't think it's because LG is a special team that did this, but I think we need to play a game that we can go well without any injuries. Every game, no matter which team it is, we have to do our best. Only then will the result be good at the end of the day."
