Jurgen Klopp is seeing questions asked of his future at Red Bull, with reports in Germany claiming that the former Liverpool boss could be axed from his role as Head of Global Soccer. The experienced coach has seen a return to the dugout speculated on, with La Liga giants Real Madrid said to have the Bundesliga and Premier League title winner on their managerial shortlist.

Former Manchester United and England star Lee Sharpe has told GOAL why struggles under Ruben Amorim may end up working in Kobbie Mainoo’s favour. The 20-year-old midfielder has returned to favour at club level under interim Red Devils boss Michael Carrick and is considered to be in contention for an international recall ahead of the 2026 World Cup.

Manchester United are reportedly ready to sanction the departure of Altay Bayindir this summer as the club continue their aggressive strategy to streamline the first-team squad. The Turkish international, who arrived at Old Trafford with high hopes of challenging for the number one spot, is set to return to his homeland after struggling to break into Michael Carrick’s starting XI. According to the latest reports coming out of Turkey, the Red Devils have reached a formal agreement with Super Lig giants Besiktas to offload the goalkeeper in the upcoming transfer window, marking a significant step in United's mission to reduce their bloated wage bill and recoup funds for future reinforcements.

Erling Haaland has opened up about the tactical influences that have shaped his record-breaking career. While legends like Zlatan Ibrahimovic and Robin van Persie were expected idols, the Manchester City star surprised many by naming a specific Premier League cult hero as a key inspiration for his movement.

Manchester United have been urged to hand Harry Maguire a new contract ahead of the experienced defender becoming a free agent this summer. The 32-year-old has spent seven seasons at Old Trafford, but is seeing questions asked of his future as his current deal runs down. Steve Bruce believes that fresh terms should be offered to the former “whipping boy”.

Bruno Fernandes will be remembered as a “great” when the day comes to leave Manchester United, but Lee Sharpe has explained to GOAL why the Portuguese may not secure legend status at Old Trafford. The all-action midfielder has been a talismanic presence for the Red Devils across recent seasons, with transfer speculation suggesting that he could soon be on the move.

Liam Rosenior often displays a calm demeanour in public, with the Chelsea manager seemingly not the type of character to rant and rave. It is, however, being claimed that the 41-year-old “showed his angry side” after seeing the Blues drop precious Premier League points in back-to-back draws with Leeds and Burnley. More is being demanded from an expensively-assembled squad.

Viktor Gyokeres displayed similarities to “prime Thierry Henry” in Arsenal’s derby victory over Tottenham and could be a “missing link” in the Gunners’ bid to bring a long wait for Premier League title glory to a close, claims Ray Parlour. The Swedish frontman has found form in 2026 and is hoping to be the man that returns domestic dominance to north London.

The race for the Spanish league title has been rocked by an official admission of a high-profile officiating blunder. Barcelona president Joan Laporta has spoken out after the Spanish Referees' Committee (CTA) acknowledged that Girona’s winning goal in their recent 2-1 victory over the Blaugrana should have been disallowed for a foul on Jules Kounde. Despite the rare moment of transparency from the governing body, Laporta remains frustrated that the technical validation does nothing to alter the league standings or the damage done at Montilivi.

Barcelona superstar Lamine Yamal is being romantically linked with British model and influencer Lily Rowland. The teenager's love life is once again in the spotlight, with his social media activity under close scrutiny. Meanwhile, Rowland has been spotted at Barcelona's home stadium following the team, fuelling more speculation that the two may be getting close.

Florian Wirtz's agent has revealed that he called Xabi Alonso and asked him to take the Germany star with him to Real Madrid before he signed for Liverpool. Wirtz ended up joining the Reds instead in a deal worth £116 million ($156m). Alonso has since departed the Santiago Bernabeu, and been replaced by Alvaro Arbeloa, but the player's agent is still hoping he can go on and play for Los Blancos in the future.

The race for the Spanish league title has taken another dramatic turn off the pitch as the Spanish Referees' Committee (CTA) officially admitted that a crucial goal against Barcelona should never have stood. During Barca's shock 2-1 defeat to Girona at Montilivi on February 16, Fran Beltran netted an 86th-minute winner that left the Catalan giants fuming. The club's hierarchy and fans alike were adamant that Jules Kounde had been fouled in the build-up, and those suspicions have now been validated by the governing bodies in spectacular fashion.

Kylian Mbappe’s start to life at Real Madrid has been anything but smooth, but France legend Christophe Dugarry believes the criticism directed at the forward has reached levels of absurdity. Since his high-profile move to the Santiago Bernabeu, the former Paris Saint-Germain star has found himself under the microscope as Los Blancos struggle for consistent form. However, Dugarry has leaped to the defence of his compatriot, suggesting that the finger-pointing at the superstar is a convenient distraction from deeper issues within the squad.

Barcelona’s recruitment drive continues at a relentless pace despite the looming presidential elections. Sporting director Deco and head coach Hansi Flick have already reached a consensus on which positions need strengthening for next season, and the acquisition of a marquee centre-forward has been marked as the club's top strategic priority. While the Blaugrana hierarchy are fully aware that the market for elite 'number nines' will be incredibly tight this summer due to a lack of available talent and inflated price tags, they remain determined to find the right profile to lead their line.

Barcelona presidential candidate Xavi Vilajoana's camp have insisted that Harry Kane is "interested" in joining the club from Bayern Munich. Kane has been mentioned as a potential transfer target during the election campaign, with the striker yet to agree a new contract with the Bavarian giants. Barcelona are thought to be in the market for a new centre-forward to take over from Robert Lewandowski, but Kane claims to have heard nothing from the club.

Barcelona presidential candidate Victor Font has revealed he has had conversations with club legend Lionel Messi over a potential return to Camp Nou if he wins next month's elections. Font says he wants to give Messi the chance to say goodbye to Barcelona "in whatever way he chooses" and is also willing to offer him the role of honorary president at the club.

Real Madrid secured their place in the Champions League round of 16 on Wednesday night with a hard-fought 2-1 victory over Benfica, progressing 3-1 on aggregate. However, the celebrations at the Santiago Bernabeu have been heavily dampened by a disgraceful incident involving a supporter that was broadcast to millions watching around the world. The club moved swiftly to address the situation, confirming that a fan was identified and removed from the premises after being caught on television cameras performing a Nazi salute.

Real Madrid coach Alvaro Arbeloa has delivered a worrying fitness update on Blancos superstar Kylian Mbappe. The World Cup-winning Frenchman was forced to sit out the second leg of a Champions League knockout phase play-off clash with Benfica. Arbeloa is unsure when his leading goalscorer will be ready for a return to action, with a knee complaint holding him back.

Victor Osimhen has admitted that a potential Champions League round-of-16 showdown with Liverpool would feel "like revenge" for the Premier League giants. The Nigerian superstar was the hero once again for Galatasaray on Wednesday as the Turkish champions navigated a rollercoaster play-off tie against Juventus to secure their place in Friday’s highly anticipated knockout stage draw.

Real Madrid secured their place in the Champions League last 16 with a spirited 2-1 comeback victory over Benfica on Wednesday, but the post-match talk was dominated by a powerful message of defiance. Midfielder Aurélien Tchouaméni insisted that the 3-1 aggregate win represented "a victory for everyone who stands against racism" following the ugly incidents that marred the first leg of the tie. The build-up to the return fixture at the Santiago Bernabeu was overshadowed by allegations that star forward Vinícius Jr had been racially abused by Benfica's Gianluca Prestianni during the first encounter, an act that led to a one-match ban for the Argentine youngster.

Alvaro Arbeloa was in a reflective mood at the Santiago Bernabéu after guiding Real Madrid into the Champions League round of 16 following a hard-fought victory over Benfica. The former Madrid defender, now leading the Spanish giants from the dugout, oversaw a mature performance as his side secured a 2-1 win on the night, progressing with a 3-1 aggregate scoreline. Despite the celebrations in the capital, the focus quickly shifted to the potential heavyweights awaiting them in the next phase, with a familiar English opponent looming large in the mind of the Madrid head coach.

Jose Mourinho was nowhere to be seen when returning to Santiago Bernabeu with Benfica for a Champions League clash with Real Madrid. The Portuguese was serving a suspension after collecting a red card during the first leg of that European play-off contest, so was never going to be on the touchline, but he is said to have watched the game from a “mystery location”.

Weston McKennie was at the center of Juventus' three-goal comeback on Wednesday, scoring the third goal of that comeback against Galatasaray. McKennie's late finish leveled the aggregate scoreline of Wednesday's second leg of the Champions League's play-off round, but it wasn't enough as Galatasaray wrestled control back in extra time.

Fans were shocked as Juventus centre-back Lloyd Kelly was sent off during his side's clash with Galatasaray on Wednesday night. The Italian giants needed to overturn a 5-2 deficit from the first leg but their task was made incredibly difficult when the former Bournemouth and Newcastle United defender was dismissed in contentious circumstances. Juventus eventually exited the competition after a 7-5 aggregate defeat.

Galatasaray are no longer content with being the dominant force in Turkish football; they have set their sights on the European elite. Following a stunning 5-2 victory over Juventus in the Champions League, vice-president Abdullah Kavukcu has outlined a blueprint to transform the Istanbul giants into a global powerhouse within five years. Central to this revolution is the successful integration of marquee signings from Serie A, a market the club has raided with increasing frequency and financial might.

Juventus defender Pierre Kalulu has finally spoken out about the storm that followed his controversial dismissal during the Derby d'Italia. The Frenchman was at the centre of a heated debate after receiving a second yellow card for a challenge on Alessandro Bastoni, a decision that many felt was harsh given the apparent lack of contact.

Juventus are moving swiftly to secure its long-term future under Luciano Spalletti. Despite a period of mixed results on the pitch, the hierarchy in Turin has seen enough to double down on the former Italy national team head coach. The message coming out of the Allianz Stadium is clear: Spalletti is the man to lead the Bianconeri restoration, and he is about to be rewarded with more than just a piece of paper. The tactician is currently locked into a deal that runs until the end of June, but the club are eager to rub out any uncertainty regarding his position before the current campaign reaches its climax.

Juventus are preparing for a massive shake-up between the sticks this summer after losing faith in Michele Di Gregorio. The Bianconeri are reportedly scouring the Premier League for a high-profile replacement, with Liverpool’s Alisson Becker emerging as a shock target alongside Tottenham’s Guglielmo Vicario. While Di Gregorio arrived from Monza with high expectations, a nightmare run of form has left the Old Lady’s hierarchy convinced that a world-class upgrade is required to restore the club's traditional defensive solidity.

USMNT star Weston McKennie has, according to reports in Italy, finally agreed a new contract with Juventus. Fresh terms will bring transfer talk to the close, as the United States international has been heading towards free agency. It is claimed that the versatile midfielder’s new deal will see him become one of the top earners with Serie A heavyweights.

Ruben Loftus-Cheek has revealed the gruesome injuries that he suffered when taking a heavy blow to the face during AC Milan’s Serie A clash with Parma. The England international midfielder has undergone surgery to fix a broken jaw. The former Chelsea star is now nursing serious swelling on his face, while also missing a number of teeth.

Liverpool cult hero Emile Heskey believes that USMNT star Christian Pulisic could be a useful replacement for Mohamed Salah at Anfield. The American forward boasts Premier League experience from a stint at Chelsea and has starred in Italy for AC Milan. A return to England is being speculated on, with another winger potentially being required on Merseyside.

Michele Di Gregorio is facing an uncertain future as the number one at the Allianz Stadium less than a year after his arrival from Monza for €18 million. A string of high-profile blunders across the last fortnight against Lazio, Inter and Como has forced the Bianconeri to reassess their options as the lack of consistency required to follow in the footsteps of legends like Dino Zoff, and Gianluigi Buffon is becoming a major concern for the club’s leadership.
