Uli Hoeneß, a member of the supervisory board and honorary president of Bayern Munich, commented on rumors regarding the possible transfer of players such as Harry Kane, Luis Díaz, and Michael Olise.
Hoeneß noted that he personally had not discussed extending Harry Kane's contract. However, he heard that Kane is very happy in Munich, and the club is pleased with him. According to him, there are no reasons for Kane to leave next year. He emphasized that Kane is an example not only as a player on the field and a goalscorer but also as a person.
Regarding the question of selling Kane, Díaz, or Olise, Hoeneß called it a misconception. He asked why this was necessary, pointing out the illogic of such a deal: spending 60–70 million euros, then selling the player for 120 million euros, and instead looking for a new footballer whose performance in a new team is unknown.
Hoeneß stated that Bayern has one of the strongest attacking trios in the world, consisting of Luis Díaz, Harry Kane, and Michael Olise. Furthermore, the squad is being strengthened by Ismaïl Sarr, who moved from PSV for 50 million euros this summer. He concluded that the very idea of selling any of these players is completely wrong.

In Tashkent, the Eski Zhuva market has started the season for trading watermelons and melons. The market is filled with watermelons of various varieties and large melons brought from Jizzakh.
Entrepreneur Doston Nosirov provided information on available varieties, their weight, and current prices. The trade of watermelons and melons has intensified during the summer period, as fresh harvest is delivered to the market every morning. Sellers unload the produce from trucks onto stalls and assist buyers in selecting ripe fruits.
At the market, one can find watermelon varieties such as 'chillaki', 'qukcha', 'guloba', 'handalak', and 'obinavot'. According to Doston Nosirov, farmers have harvested a high-quality and sweet crop this year. One of the most sought-after varieties during the summer season is 'chillaki', which received its name because it ripens during the hottest period of summer—chilla.
Watermelons of the 'chillaki' variety have an average weight of three to eight kilograms. Their price is 5 thousand sums per kilogram, but by negotiating with the buyer, an eight-kilogram watermelon can be purchased for 30–35 thousand sums. The 'obinavot' variety, grown in the Syrdarya region farms, is also offered at a price of 5 thousand sums per kilogram. The price for the 'qukcha' variety approaches 7 thousand sums per kilogram.
Melons from the Jizzakh region have also arrived at the stalls. They are sold at approximately 3.5 thousand sums per kilogram. The average weight of one melon is eight to ten kilograms, and its cost reaches 30–35 thousand sums. Doston Nosirov emphasized that one melon averages 30–35 thousand sums, although some buyers prefer smaller sizes, while others look for large and fleshy specimens.
The market has a characteristic summer trading atmosphere: stalls are laden with watermelons and melons, sellers are busy unloading and arranging the new harvest, and buyers are selecting ripe and sweet fruits.
