Guardiola sees Grealish chase as vital (ESPN)
The Man City manager has expressed his desire to add the Villa man this summer
Pep Guardiola sees the pursuit of Jack Grealish as equally important to the pursuit of Tottenham forward Harry Kane, writes ESPN.
That revelation comes as somewhat of a surprise with the departure of Sergio Aguero leaving the centre-forward position at Manchester City rather barren while the attacking midfield areas are comparably loaded with senior talent.
Fortunately for the manager, Manchester City are reportedly willing to buy both Grealish and Kane if their respective clubs are willing to sell them.
Zidane to wait for France job
Zinedine Zidane will not coach this season as he waits for the French national team job to open, according to Libertad Digital.
He parted ways with Real Madrid last month, citing the lack of trust and positive human connection within the club as the main reasons for his departure.
Didier Deschamps has said he doesn't intend to leave his position in charge of France anytime soon, so barring a failure at Euro 2020, Zidane may have to wait a while for his turn.
Ginter draws Leipzig & Leverkusen interest
Centre-back Matthias Ginter does not yet have a new contract at Borussia Monchengladbach and is now getting interest from RB Leipzig and Bayer Leverkusen, reports Sky Sport Germany.
But the 27-year-old German apparently still prefers sticking with his current club and negotiations over a new deal could begin after Euro 2020.

Chelsea make Haaland contact (Daily Mail)
The Blues are taking the first steps to sign the forward - though a deal remains far off
Chelsea have officially contacted Borussia Dortmund about signing striker Erling Haaland, claims the Daily Mail.
Manager Thomas Tuchel is said to have demanded an elite centre-forward ahead of next season given his side's shaky finishing in 2020-21. There are few better in front of net at the moment than Haaland.
However, the Blues are aware of the absurd transfer fee it would likely require to pry to the star from Germany, particularly if Jadon Sancho were to also exit Signal Iduna Park this summer. That doesn't even cover the £300,000 per week wages he is expected to push for
