LONDON, ENGLAND - JANUARY 12: Kobbie Mainoo of Manchester United during the Emirates FA Cup Third Round match between Arsenal and Manchester United at Emirates Stadium on January 12, 2025 in London, England. (Photo by James Gill - Danehouse/Getty Images) Manchester United will up the ante in their attempts to tie Kobbie Mainoo down to an improved contract after the winter transfer window slams shut instead of rushing into negotiations with his representatives amid interest from Chelsea and Bayern Munich. Diego Leon is poised to be unveiled as the first arrival since Ruben Amorim's appointment as the Red Devils' head coach, having undergone medical tests after a deal worth up to £6.9million was agreed with Cerro Porteno, but the Portuguese tactician has also shown an eagerness to rewa...

Guardiola contract boost, De Bruyne extension, Messi reunion – Man City Club World Cup latest

In normal circumstances, a chance for Manchester City to defend their title as world champions in a major showpiece tournament would be one they would relish. However, the expansion of the FIFA Club World Cup from seven teams to 32 has been beset by delays, controversies and criticism. Pep Guardiola has insisted City will travel to the USA with a full squad and with the intention to defend their crown - but he has been equally critical of the new format that will extend City's season into 12 months. Guardiola is out of contract midway through the tournament, while Ilkay Gundogan and Kevin De Bruyne are in the same position. FIFA recently introduced rules to account for such situations, handing City a potential triple contract boost - although Guardiola reacted angrily when he learned of ru...

Juventus considering terminating Paul Pogba’s contract despite ban reduction

According to Fabrizio Romano, Juventus could consider terminating Paul Pogba’s (31) contract at the club despite the player being cleared to play again.

Following the decision of the CAS to reduce the midfielder’s ban, he would be able to return to Juventus training in January. In addition to a return to training in the new year, the 31-year-old could have been targeting a March return to football. However, it appears that the Serie A club could have other plans regarding Pogba’s future in Turin. The m...
