We are thrilled to welcome you back to the start of SEASON 3 with Markus
(@MarkusFjortoft) and Jan (@JanAageFjortoft), now under our new "The Fussball Channel" banner. As we continue to cover the Bundesliga and bring you news and talking points from around the world, we begin with an overview of the latest developments in German football. Bayern's rebuild under Kompany is an exciting topic, as the team remains packed with star power, and those in charge are eager to infuse fresh faces into the squad. Bayern has already secured Hiroki Ito, Olise, and Palhinha. Amidst these changes, the future role of Joshua Kimmich at Bayern remains unclear.

In other news, Xavi Simons is returning to RB Leipzig, while De Ligt could be heading to Manchester United. What this could mean for Jonathan Tah’s potential move to Bayern Munich is uncertain, as Bayern has yet to meet Bayer Leverkusen’s €40 million asking price, and there are internal doubts about the signing.

Bayer Leverkusen have matched Benfica's 59-year-old record and are now unbeaten in 48 consecutive games across all competitions. Could this season be considered one of the greatest of all time?
