Romelu Lukaku could be heading for a fresh challenge, with Major League Soccer (MLS) emerging as a serious option alongside interest from Ajax, Monaco and Fenerbahce. Napoli are expected to part ways with the Belgian striker as they look to reduce their wage bill, although any move will depend on clubs meeting the financial demands of a permanent transfer.

Major League Soccer’s search for Don Garber’s eventual successor is reportedly down to three candidates, with Los Angeles FC co-owner Larry Berg, 49ers Enterprises president Paraag Marathe and former Fox executive David Nathanson emerging as finalists. Garber, who has served as commissioner since 1999, remains under contract through 2027.

Questions continue to be asked of what the future holds for Jack Grealish, but Joleon Lescott has told GOAL that “no conversations” have taken place regarding a move to MLS. For now, the Manchester City-owned forward is looking to enjoy a fresh start at the Etihad Stadium or build on a productive loan spell with Everton - as a permanent transfer could still be agreed there.

Robert Lewandowski and Thomas Muller have shared a light-hearted reunion on social media following the sudden postponement of their scheduled MLS encounter. The veteran Polish striker was due to make his competitive debut for Chicago Fire against the Vancouver Whitecaps before dangerous air quality levels forced league officials to call off the fixture, forcing the former Bayern Munich stars to meet up off the pitch.
