BVB are planning for the long term with Felix Nmecha, yet a move to the Premier League could still materialise this summer.

The 2025-26 European season is over, and it ended just as the 2024-25 did 12 months earlier, with Paris Saint-Germain lifting the European Cup at the end of the Champions League final. Saturday's win over Arsenal in Budapest was a much tighter affair than their thrashing of Inter in Munich, but was greeted with no less joy by the French giants and their supporters as they clinched a double having already won Ligue 1.

An era of unparalleled longevity has come to a close as James Milner officially announced his retirement from professional football at the age of 40. The veteran midfielder departs the game as the Premier League's undisputed all-time record appearance holder, ending a remarkable 24-year top-flight journey.

And there we have it. The 2025-26 European football season is in the books, capped by Paris Saint-Germain beating Arsenal in the Champions League final to defend their continental crown. Soon the past nine months or so will become distant memories, such is the speed at which the footballing world moves on, especially when major tournaments on the horizon.
