Zimbabwe Overview

Clubs stand to gain plenty from the 2026 World Cup, but not everyone is happy or set to benefit.

Pain and Hope

Arsenal are expected to see movement on the striker front this summer, with Jeremie Aliadiere admitting to GOAL that it is “not a secret” that Gabriel Jesus is likely to depart. If the Brazil international is offloaded, then funds and squad space will be freed up for reinforcements. The Gunners continue to be heavily linked with Argentine forward Julian Alvarez.

Atletico Madrid president Enrique Cerezo has firmly responded to Barcelona counterpart Joan Laporta regarding the unfolding transfer saga surrounding Julian Alvarez. The forward publicly requested a summer departure during the World Cup, prompting the Catalan giants to launch a time-sensitive offer that has heightened tensions between the clubs.
