Weston McKennie admits that the USMNT will be under “pressure” to deliver at a home World Cup, but considers that level of expectation to bring with it “extra motivation”. The United States is counting down the days to another major tournament on American soil, with McKennie explaining to GOAL how Mauricio Pochettino’s squad will handle the demands of heat and travel.

Paul Pogba is looking to rebuild his career at Monaco, with the World Cup winner being brutally informed that he has “only had three good years in his entire career”. That is the opinion of Radja Nainggolan, who once lined up against the Frenchman in Serie A. Pogba has endured a tough time of late, with the ex-Manchester United and Juventus midfielder serving a doping ban.

USMNT star Weston McKennie was bizarrely slapped by his own manager after seeing Juventus score a goal in their 4-0 victory over Pisa. The United States international midfielder played the full 90 minutes of that contest, having lined up at wing-back, but may have been left sporting a sore head afterwards after being clipped on the cheek by Luciano Spalletti.

Guglielmo Vicario could be heading for the exit door at Tottenham as speculation intensifies regarding a cut-price return to Serie A. The 29-year-old goalkeeper, who has been a mainstay in north London since his arrival from Empoli in 2023, is reportedly open to the move following a disastrous run of form for the Premier League side. Spurs find themselves embroiled in an unlikely survival scrap, sitting just one point above the relegation zone after a series of damaging results.

Juventus icon Gianluigi Buffon has hit out at the "insane" limitations of VAR after Pierre Kalulu was controversially sent off in the Derby d'Italia defeat to Inter last month.

Juventus are moving quickly to tie Luciano Spalletti to a long-term deal, despite their recent Champions League exit against Galatasaray.

This extension aims to provide a clear technical project and stability as the club focuses entirely on domestic success and future sustainability.

Juventus have opened crucial contract renewal talks with Dusan Vlahovic, signalling a breakthrough in securing the Serbian striker's future. Despite heavy interest from Premier League clubs and European giants, the 26-year-old is reportedly open to staying in Turin. Both parties must now bridge a significant financial gap to finalise a new deal extending his stay beyond the current 2026 expiration.

Weston McKennie isn’t going anywhere. After months of renewed speculation, the U.S. men’s national team midfielder has signed a new four-year contract with Juventus, committing to the Serie A side through 2030. McKennie had been set to become a free agent this summer, with interest building as his form surged, but Juventus have now moved decisively to secure one of their most versatile contributors for the long term.

Inter and Juventus are gearing up for an intense transfer battle this summer as both Serie A giants prioritise signing a world-class goalkeeper. With both clubs facing defensive uncertainties, recent reports indicate that Liverpool star Alisson Becker has emerged as their primary target. A return to Italy for the Brazilian could finally solve their respective goalkeeping crises.
