FIFA's refereeing chief Pierluigi Collina has issued a firm rebuttal to Didier Deschamps after the France manager questioned the quality of officiating in their World Cup semi-final defeat to Spain. The Les Bleus boss was visibly frustrated following the 2-0 loss, suggesting that the standards in the crucial clash were not what he expected.

Nottingham Forest are closing in on a significant coup with the addition of experienced midfielder Xaver Schlager on a free transfer. The 28-year-old Austrian international is set to arrive at the City Ground to bolster a midfield that recently lost a key figure to a Premier League giant.

Luka Modric is reportedly ready to extend his stay at San Siro by committing to a new one-year contract with AC Milan. The veteran midfielder has rapidly weighed up his options following Croatia’s disappointing early departure from the 2026 World Cup just a few days ago.

Inter have emerged as shock suitors for Tottenham full-back Djed Spence as they look to defend their Serie A title. The England international is reportedly open to the move after revitalising his career in north London and on the international stage.
