Aitana Bonmati has won each of the last three Ballons d'Or Feminin - but the accolade will go to someone else in 2026. Will it be two-time winner and fellow Barcelona star Alexia Putellas who reasserts herself as the best player in the women's game? Or could there be a new name on the honour roll when the Golden Ball is handed out in Paris in October?
Bayern Munich Women have been crowned Frauen-Bundesliga champions for the fourth consecutive season following a dramatic 3-2 victory over Union Berlin. The triumph marks a fitting domestic farewell for England international Georgia Stanway, who is set to depart the German giants this summer after playing a pivotal role in their recent era of dominance.
Almost every footballer's career has a sliding doors moment, and Georgia Stanway's came in the summer of 2022. It's remarkable to think now, given her role in the England team and her status as one of the best midfielders in the game, but as that year's European Championship approached, Stanway was not in Sarina Wiegman’s starting XI.
Newcastle are reportedly prepared to discuss Anthony Gordon’s departure if Bayern Munich meet their eye-watering £75 million ($101m) valuation. The England international is a top target for the German giants and the Magpies could be open to a sale as they seek to fund a squad overhaul in the summer.
Newcastle United winger Anthony Gordon is reportedly "open" to swapping the Premier League for the Bundesliga as Bayern Munich step up their pursuit of the England international. The 25-year-old has emerged as a primary target for the Bavarian side, who are looking to bolster their attacking options this summer with high-level European experience.
