(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...

(Photo by Carl Recine/Getty Images) Liverpool head coach Arne Slot attempted to place a protective arm around Trent Alexander-Arnold by suggesting no-one mentions the effect of contract issues when the team are winning.

Mohamed Salah and Virgil van Dijk are in similar positions but Alexander-Arnold, an academy graduate and one of their most valuable assets, has found th...

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.

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.

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...
