Manchester United have made a final decision on Jadon Sancho's future amid an underwhelming loan spell at Aston Villa. Sancho was shipped out on loan to Chelsea last season but the Blues ended up paying a penalty fee to send him back to Old Trafford. Another loan spell has followed in the current campaign but Sancho is once again struggling to impress.

Juventus defender Pierre Kalulu has broken his silence regarding the controversial red card incident involving Alessandro Bastoni that has dominated Italian football headlines this week. The French centre-back found himself at the centre of a heated debate following an expulsion during the recent clash against Inter, an episode that saw the referee come under intense scrutiny for his decision-making. Despite the noise surrounding the apology issued by the Inter vice-captain, Kalulu appeared keen to move past the drama during a difficult week for the Bianconeri.

Benfica have said that Gianluca Prestianni is the victim of a "defamation campaign" while backing up the winger's claim that he did not racially abuse Vinicius Junior in Tuesday night's Champions League clash with Real Madrid. Vinicius alleged that Prestianni directed a racial slur at him after the Real Madrid star celebrated scoring the opening goal in the first leg of the knockout stage play-off tie.

UEFA has officially opened a disciplinary investigation into Benfica forward Gianluca Prestianni following allegations of racist behaviour during the first leg of their Champions League play-off clash against Real Madrid. The European governing body confirmed the appointment of an ethics and disciplinary inspector to look into the events at the Estadio da Luz, where Madrid secured a 1-0 victory. The flashpoint occurred shortly after Vinicius Jr found the net, leading to a significant delay as the Brazilian international and several team-mates confronted the opposition and the referee regarding a deeply offensive slur.

Manchester United have become "frustrated" by the agreement they struck with Barcelona for the loan transfer of Marcus Rashford. The England international is spending the 2025-26 season with Hansi Flick's side, and the deal does include a purchase option set at £26 million (£30m). However, Rashford's good form with the Catalan giants has left Manchester United worrying that his valuation has risen significantly.

The RFEF Competition Committee has handed down a significant punishment to Sevilla head coach Matias Almeyda following the chaotic scenes that unfolded during last Saturday's La Liga clash against Alaves. The Argentine tactician has been hit with a seven-game ban after being sent off and subsequently engaging in a heated confrontation with referee Galech Apezteguia. While the automatic suspension for the red card accounts for the start of the penalty, the committee decided to add a further six matches due to the gravity of the incidents that followed his dismissal.

Borussia Dortmund striker Serhou Guirassy was the undisputed hero on the pitch during the 2-0 Champions League victory over Atalanta, but it was his actions after finding the back of the net that truly resonated. After enduring a frustrating dry spell earlier in the campaign, the Guinean international has hit a rich vein of form, netting six goals in his last four competitive outings. However, his latest strike was accompanied by a poignant tribute that revealed a deeply personal struggle behind the scenes.

Thierry Henry has called on Benfica winger Gianluca Prestianni to tell the truth about his altercation with Vinicius Junior during Tuesday's Champions League match against Real Madrid at the Estadio da Luz. Vinicius has alleged that Prestianni directed a racial slur at him during the game, which led to the match being halted for 10 minutes. Henry has now responded with an emotional speech regarding the continued prevalence of racism in football.

Napoli are preparing to welcome back a familiar face to the Stadio Diego Armando Maradona. After a grueling period on the sidelines, Kevin De Bruyne is finally closing in on his return to Italy. The Belgian playmaker is expected to arrive in Naples on Sunday, coinciding with his team-mates' trip to Bergamo to face Atalanta. From Monday, the veteran midfielder is slated to report to the Castel Volturno training centre, marking the beginning of the crucial re-integration phase under the watchful eye of Antonio Conte.

Luis Diaz has hit the ground running since his blockbuster summer move to Bayern Munich, but the Colombian winger admits he has been blown away by the sheer quality of his new team-mates. After ending a successful stint at Liverpool to join the German giants for a reported €70 million, Diaz has quickly integrated into a frightening attacking unit that features England captain Harry Kane and French sensation Michael Olise.

Did Gianluca Prestianni racially abuse Vinicius Junior at the Estadio da Luz on Tuesday night? We don't know. Not yet at least. And that's mainly because the Argentine very deliberately covered his mouth with his shirt as he exchanged words with Vinicius after being inexplicably enraged by the Brazilian celebrating his 50th-minute goal with a little dance in front of the corner flag.

Son Heung-min produced a stunning display for LAFC in a 6-1 thrashing of Real Espana in the Concacaf Champions Cup. The former Tottenham star scored and bagged three assists inside the first 45 minutes of the clash at the General Francisco Morazán Stadium in Honduras. Denis Bouanga also caught the eye with a hat-trick in an emphatic win for the MLS side.

Barcelona presidential candidate Marc Ciria has unfurled a huge banner featuring club legend Lionel Messi in the city centre as he continues his campaign to replace Joan Laporta at the helm of the Catalan giants. Ciria has also added the slogan used by Laporta in a poster near the Santiago Bernabeu in his previous election campaign: "Looking forward to seeing you again."

Jhon Duran’s career continues to be a whirlwind of goals and controversy, with his latest chapter in Russia starting in explosive fashion. The former Aston Villa striker, who recently completed a loan move to Zenit St Petersburg, found himself in the referee's notebook just five minutes into his debut for the club. It was a baptism of fire for the Colombian international, whose reputation for high-intensity play and occasional loss of discipline preceded him to his new surroundings. The 22-year-old was named in the starting XI for a pre-season friendly against Shanghai Port, a match intended to integrate him into the squad. However, the "friendly" nature of the contest was quickly forgotten when Duran became embroiled in a physical altercation with an opposition defender while chasing a long ball. The forward appeared to lose his composure during a battle for possession, leading to a confrontation that left spectators and officials stunned by its intensity so early in the game.

Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta has broken his silence following a wave of criticism on social media after a video emerged of him refusing to sign an autograph for a supporter outside the Emirates Stadium. The incident took place as the Spaniard was in his car following the Gunners' victory over Wigan Athletic and he has taken the chance to tell his side of the story.

Former Manchester United star Jesse Lingard is being linked with another unlikely transfer following his exit from South Korean side FC Seoul. The 33-year-old is now a free agent and could be heading to South America for the next chapter of his career. Lingard is already in negotiations with Brazilian side Remo and there's optimism an agreement can be reached.

The fiery Champions League encounter between Benfica and Real Madrid has sparked a war of words off the pitch, with former Los Blancos midfielder Wesley Sneijder leading the charge. The Dutch legend did not hold back in his assessment of Nicolas Otamendi’s behaviour during the clash at the Estádio da Luz, where the veteran defender was seen taunting Brazilian superstar Vinicius Junior following a heated exchange on the field. The tension reached boiling point during a stoppage related to the competition's racism protocol, during which Otamendi chose to flex his ink in the face of the Real Madrid winger. The former Manchester City man pointed specifically to his tattoos commemorating Argentina's recent triumphs, including the 2022 World Cup, the Finalissima, and the Copa America, in an apparent attempt to pull rank over the young Brazilian regarding international honours.

Benfica fans have been spotted directing racist gestures at Real Madrid superstar Vinicius Junior during Tuesday's Champions League clash with Los Blancos. An ugly night at the Estadio da Luz also saw the match halted for 10 minutes after Vinicius Jr reported alleged racist abuse to the match referee after an altercation with Benfica winger Gianluca Prestianni.

The fallout from a volatile Champions League knockout phase playoff clash between Benfica and Real Madrid has taken a dramatic turn, as the Portuguese giants have moved to publicly defend Gianluca Prestianni. The fallout from the match, which was marred by serious allegations of racism directed at Real Madrid superstar Vinicius Junior, has descended into a series of public statements and finger-pointing. After Prestianni initially denied the accusations, Benfica took to social media to offer an unwavering show of solidarity with their young Argentine midfielder.

Galatasaray striker Victor Osimhen left fans bewildered after footage emerged of him furiously berating his own team-mates moments after the final whistle of their stunning 5-2 Champions League victory over Juventus. Despite the Turkish giants securing a commanding first-leg lead in the knockout round play-off, the Nigerian forward appeared incensed, sparking suggestions that his failure to get on the scoresheet had soured the historic night.

Paris Saint-Germain star Ousmane Dembele suffered yet another injury setback on Tuesday in the Champions League. The Ballon d'Or winner lasted just 27 minutes of PSG's Champions League knockout stage play-off clash against Monaco before having to be replaced. Desire Doue took over from Dembele and scored twice in a 3-2 first-leg win for Luis Enrique's side at the Stade Louis II.

Benfica boss Jose Mourinho has been accused of "justifying racism" following his comments on Vinicius Junior after Tuesday's Champions League between his side and Real Madrid. The game had to be halted for 10 minutes after the Brazil international alleged a racial slur had been directed at him by Benfica winger Gianluca Prestianni after he had scored what turned out to be the winning goal.

Cesc Fabregas was one of the finest midfielders of his generation. He made his Arsenal debut at 16 and, by the age of 23, he'd already won a European Championship and a World Cup with Spain. So, when Como sporting director Carlalberto Ludi says that Fabregas is "even better as a coach" than he was as a player, it's quite the claim.

Coming into the 2025-26 season, few - if any - were carrying the kind of momentum that Chloe Kelly was. She was the Lionesses' hero in the summer, scoring the penalty that delivered the 2025 European Championship title after also enjoying huge moments in the quarter-and-semi-finals to get England into that title-deciding clash with Spain. With a permanent move to Arsenal secured after all that, having helped the Gunners win the Champions League in May while on loan, Kelly felt primed for a huge season.

Eberechi Eze was meant to be Arsenal's X-factor this season, a player who could break the mould and deliver moments of magic for a regimented team in need of that extra attacking spark. The Gunners sit pretty at the top of the Premier League table, but they are still missing that fluidity in the final third, and Eze has seldom proven the answer to the questions over their potency from open play.

Real Madrid superstar Vinicius Junior has issued a statement accusing Benfica winger Gianluca Prestianni of directing a racial slur at him during Tuesday's clash between the two sides in the Champions League. Vinicius scored the winning goal early in the second half at the Estadio da Luz but the game was subsequently stopped for 10 minutes after the Brazil international reported alleged racist abuse to match referee Francois Letexier.
