TSG:
Hoffenheim have signed Kevin Vogt from Koln; and are hot for Empoli's portuguese LB, Mario Rui.
Having already secured Kramaric on a permanent deal & Hubner from FC Audi; Hoppenheim are rounding out a nice little team for Nagelsmann to work with...provided they do hold onto Sule. With Vogt joining Rudy, & Schwegler/Polanski as experienced options to pair with Amiri, Ochs, Biteco (and in the coming years Geiger/Beck/Bender), in midfield; Sule, Schar, Bicakcic, Hubner, & Gimber, for the back 3; and Kaderabek & Rui on the wings; that team would support the forwards well. And with Kramaric, Uth, Ochs, Vargas (and in the coming years Skenderovic/Y.Otto/D.Otto), they have goalscorers to finish those chances without impeding the club's passing game.
BMG:
Amongst everything else he's working on, Eberl's prepared to pay a club record fee to Chelsea to make Andreas Christensen's move permanent...if BMG doesn't stumble in the CL qualifiers...with the massive Xhaka fee, the money that had been budgeted for Hinteregger, the clubs transfer reserves, and this past season's CL profits; Eberl has a serious bit of coin to work with this summer. And if he's successful in these next few months; he could do a lot to solidify BMG as a CL team that plays very attractive football, with which they've challenged much bigger clubs in europe (giving both Juve & Citeh all they could handle for large stretches of those matches; and just picking Sevilla apart in the match under Schubert).
BVB:
I'm very curious to see what Watzke does even if Miki & Auba stay. Ziyech, Lerma, Mor, Zinchenko, Guerreiro & Zielinski, would be a very intriguing haul on top of Dembele, Merino & the moves that need to be made in defense. Seems a lot to expect from Watzke, especially with the specter of him doing stupid to bring in a big name that would sate Reus/Auba/Miki...although I guess he could bring in that star while solving the defense (say by getting Tah/Laporte + Glik/Toprak
), or by getting Gotze instead of Ziyech.
Still if they really do sell everyone Tuchel's apparently said can be let go; then there will be a lot of work to be done & spots to fill.
Vrsaljko set to join Atletico, he didn't come to personal terms with Napoli
The way he's learned to defend since first breaking through gives me some hope that Danny da Costa & Dudziak may still amount to something. It's crazy how much better he is now against the ball.
Kicker is speculating that Junuzovic might be unhappy at Bremen (more with Viktor Skripnik) and is linked to West Ham or Southampton. Both EL teams.

I wonder if a Junuzovic departure would make it easier to pry Grillitsch out of Werder...as losing his veteran countryman on top of Oztunali & Vestegaard would be a lot of talent leaving Bremen, possibly pushing the younger austrian to move to a stronger club...or if it'll make Grillitsch more content to stay in Werder for a little while longer...since he'll be guaranteed his PT & a major role to continue developing in.
Marko Marin is in negotiations with Galatasaray.
At least he'll have fun partying with Poldi...Shame the OGM (Original German Messi) never had anything more than his dribbling to work with and so couldn't even scrape together a middling career; like Younes seems to be in the process of doing with Ajax.
