Vincent Kompany was the shock arrival at Bayern Munich last week after a long and protracted managerial search from the German giants.

But could another surprise name be joining him in Bruno Fernandes?

The Portuguese midfilder is Man United's captain and star man but reports claim he is on Kompany's wish list this summer.

While Chelsea's hierarchy will be delighted to have got their preferred target, it's fair to say Leicester were less happy with Enzo Maresca's decision to head to west London.

Mail Sport understands the manner of Maresca's departure has left a slightly sour taste at the King Power stadium, with senior figures disappointed that the 44-year-old has opted to leave the club after such a short time.

Meanwhile, some even feel Maresca openly courted the Chelsea job.

Chelsea have confirmed Enzo Maresca as their new head coach, showing their confidence in Mauricio Pochettino’s successor by handing him a five-year contract with the option of a sixth.

The 44-year-old Italian has joined from Leicester City, who he led to the Championship title last season and will be due a compensation package worth around £10million from Chelsea.

Co-sporting directors Paul Winstanley and Laurence Stewart led the search, with the club's executives including Behdad Eghbali, Jose E Feliciano and Todd Boehly collectively endorsing his appointment.

It is official!

Chelsea have officially named Enzo Maresca as their new manager, bringing him in from Leicester City.

He will replace Mauricio Pochettino who guided the Blues to a sixth placed finish last season.

An update from Mail Sport's transfer expert SIMON JONES...

Wolfsburg have emerged as early frontrunners for Liverpool defender Sepp van den Berg.

The 22-year old enjoyed a strong season on loan at Bundesliga side Mainz this year and spoke candidly last week about his desire to leave and continue playing regular first team football.

Van den Berg signed for Liverpool from PEC Zwolle in 2019 for £1.4million but after loan spells at Preston North End, Schalke and Mainz, they now value him closer to £20m.

A number of Bundesliga clubs, including Mainz, have expressed interest in signing the Holland U21 international but Wolfsburg are considered the strongest contenders at this stage.

One Bellingham brother may be more famous than the other right now, but that doesn't mean Jobe isn't also making waves in the footballing world.

The 18-year-old enjoyed an impressive season at Sunderland, where he shined in what was a difficult and chaotic campaign for the club.

This has led to several clubs taking a look at him and Tottenham are reportedly the latest team to join the race.

Man United are still yet to confirm whether Erik ten Hag will remain as manager as they undergo a post-season review.

However, the rumour mill that comes with the summer transfer window is already in full swing.

And one report claims United are eyeing-up an attacker who shone for Wolves this season.

Despite what many European teams may be hoping, the spending of Saudi Pro League clubs shows no signs of slowing down this summer.

Not only do the major teams seemingly have unlimited budgets, but a new rule from the start of next season will see clubs allowed to have 10 foreign players rather than eight in their squads.

And two of Cristiano Ronaldo's former team-mates at Real Madrid could be some of the first stars to sign up this time around.

Elsewhere, the future of Jadon Sancho is likely to be another major talking point this summer.

The winger was revitalised on loan at former club Borussia Dortmund after being exiled at Man United following a fall-out with Erik ten Hag.

However, could he be reintegrated into first team plans at Old Trafford?

To begin with, we have some news from Madrid.

It looks as if Real Madrid will finally announce the signing of Kylian Mbappe today, with the French superstar exiting PSG at the end of the season.

It's been a long-running saga but it seems as if the Spanish giants will get their man after what has been an energy-sapping pursuit that has lasted seven years.

Mbappe's arrival in the Spanish capital is a scary proposition for rival teams, especially after they won the Champions League for a record--extending 15th time on Saturday.
