Schalke 04 Overview

Manchester City have officially ended any uncertainty surrounding the future of Phil Foden by handing the academy graduate a lucrative new four-year contract. The 26-year-old has committed his peak years to the Etihad Stadium as he prepares to lead the next era under newly appointed manager Enzo Maresca.

The Italian Football Federation (FIGC) has sensationally confirmed that Pep Guardiola is a primary candidate to take over as the next head coach of the Azzurri. President Giovanni Malago admitted that the federation is prepared to make a significant financial 'exception' to lure the former Manchester City boss to the international stage.

For some football fans, the summer is the part of the calendar that they look forward to the most - and that's not just because it's filled by a World Cup every four years! Rather, it's because the end of the season means only one thing: It's time for transfers! The 2026 window is once again proving to be busy, with some huge names making big-money moves before deadline day on September 1.

The football world seems to move faster and faster these days. No sooner had the World Cup ended than attention immediately shifted to the transfer market - which is understandable, given some massive deals are expected to be confirmed in the coming days, following in the footsteps of Morgan Rogers' shock £117 million move from Aston Villa to Chelsea.
