(Photo by Sarah Stier - FIFA/FIFA via Getty Images) | FIFA via Getty ImagesAccording to a report from Sport Bild journalist Christian Falk, Michael Olise is not leaving Bayern Munich this summer which tracks with much the recent reporting on the matter.If, however, transfer armageddon happens and Olise goes nuclear to force his way out of Bavaria (an extremely unlikely nut not impossible scenario), Bayern Munich would make a beeline to pursue Paris Saint-Germain winger Bradley Barcola: It is TRUE: Bradley Barcola is one of the names on the shortlist at Bayern Munich if they have to replace Michael Olise. I reported last summer that there was an idea to sign the France international anyway. Even the summer before, the 23-year-old was considered a very interesting player for FC Bayern. Hes on the shortlist, but at the moment there is no chance of getting this player for the club. Thats because PSG want to give the winger a new contract, and amounts in the region of 150m have been floated if the Ligue 1 champions were to sell the player. However, when you look at the situation and, as we say, Bayern dont want to sell Olise this summer the club has to think about the Frenchmans situation if he doesnt sign a contract with Bayern.When you look at Bradley Barcolas contract, you see hes got a year less left on his terms compared to his international teammate (running out in 2028). So, if he isnt sold this summer to Liverpool, who are clearly interested, or to another club that can afford the asking price, and hes still on the market and assuming that Bayern are forced to sell Michael Olise with one year left on his contract next summer, then PSG have a decision to make. I personally think hes a player who would fit in perfectly at Bayern Munich. Thats also partly due to his affordable salary demands (currently earning 7m-8m gross in Paris, which is half of what Olise earns at Bayern). So, hes one to keep an eye out for as a potential replacement in case Michael Olise leaves.Barcola is highly coveted by Liverpool and could pursue that destination in the coming weeks. There is a significant chance that if PSG thinks it should cash out on Barcola, it will look to sell him this summer. In that case, Liverpool would have a clear advantage over Bayern Munich as it will likely have a better chance to work out a deal before any type of aggressive move by Olise which, again, is not likely to happen. With the teams current depth in the attack, only a major sale would enable the club to pursue Barcola.

The 2026 Formula 1 calendar has been in a state of flux since the Middle East conflict forced the cancellation of the Bahrain and Saudi Arabian Grands Prix earlier this year. Now, the scramble to fill the void is reaching a climax, and a fan-favorite circuit is on the verge of an unexpected return.According to a recent update from F1 Speed Indonesia, Malaysian Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim has officially addressed the rumors surrounding the Sepang International Circuit. Responding to press inquiries regarding F1s request to have Malaysia replace the canceled Bahrain GP, Ibrahim confirmed that a definitive answer is imminent.Regarding F1, we will make an announcement on Sunday, the Prime Minister stated, setting a July 26 deadline for the decision.This aligns with recent confirmations from Malaysias Youth and Sports Ministry, which has been actively assessing the feasibility, costs, and logistics of hosting a Grand Prix at short notice.F1s Calendar ScrambleThe aggressive push for Malaysia comes after F1s initial contingency plans fell apart. Organizers had originally hoped to reschedule the Bahrain GP for early Octoberslotting it right between the Azerbaijan and Singapore races. However, with geopolitical tensions flaring up once again, the FIA and F1 management have been forced to abandon the Middle East makeup dates entirely.According to a breaking report highlighted by @Nachez98, F1 is VERY CLOSE to giving Sepang the green light to take over that post-Baku slot on the calendar.If the Malaysian government approves the bid on Sunday, it will mark Sepangs first Formula 1 race since it was dropped due to rising hosting fees in 2017. However, if the financial logistics of the deal fall through, F1 still has European backup plans. The same report notes that Imola has joined Portimao and Turkey on the shortlist of candidate circuits ready to step in and help close out the highly disrupted 2026 season.

Sinner beat Djokovic in the semi-finals of Wimbledon this year on his way to the title [Getty Images]The tournament director of the Canadian Open says changes need to be made to the "demanding schedule" of players after Jannik Sinner and Novak Djokovic pulled out of the Masters 1000 event.Sinner, who beat Alexander Zverev to win the Wimbledon title this month, said he had withdrawn from the ATP tournament, which takes place from 2-13 August in Montreal, to prioritise his health.Carlos Alcaraz will also be absent from the Canadian Open as he continues his recovery from a wrist injury that has kept him out since April."We are obviously very disappointed that Jannik and Novak won't be joining us in Montreal this year, especially after they also withdrew from last year's tournament in Toronto," said the Canadian Open's tournament director Valerie Tetreault."We respect their decisions and understand that, with such a demanding schedule, players' health must remain the priority."That said, we believe the frequency of these last-minute withdrawals in the last few years raises a broader issue for our sport. "Masters 1000 events are among the flagship tournaments on the tour, and fans rightfully expect to see the world's best compete."We are already in discussions with the ATP to ensure this matter received serious consideration."The Canadian Open takes place before the Cincinnati Open, which is also a Masters 1000 event, and prior to the start of the US Open - the final Grand Slam of the year - on 30 August.Seven of the existing nine Masters 1000 events - the sport's highest level below the Grand Slams - are now staged over 12 days and concerns over the congested tennis calendar, which stretches across 11 months of the year for the top players, have regularly been voiced.Britain's Jack Draper and Emma Raducanu recently pulled out of Wimbledon on the eve of their home Grand Slam because of injury.Draper, who withdrew with a long-term arm injury, said he felt the amount of injuries suffered by leading players is "pretty worrying".In September 2024, Alcaraz said: "They are going to kill us in some way.""We firmly believe adjustments are needed in the near future to better protect the integrity of our Masters 1000 events while remaining mindful of the realities players face," added Tetreault.Earlier this year, women's world number one Aryna Sabalenka and Iga Swiatek pulled out of the Dubai Championships, a WTA 1000 event, two days before it started.Tournament director Salah Tahlak said players who made late withdrawals from tournaments should be docked points, while Sabalenka said criticism of her was "ridiculous" and that she may not play at the tournament again.Tsitsipas claims first ATP title in 16 monthsLive scores, results and order of playGet tennis news sent straight to your phone
