Pogba reveals he's received 'offers from all over'

Ex-Manchester United star Paul Pogba says he "can't wait" to return to football and that he has had "offers from all over" following his doping ban.

The Frenchman told GQ: "First of all, I can't wait to play. You know, it's been so long since I played football. I never imagined I'd be free at this time of the season. I've never really experienced a transfer like this. Today, there are offers. Coming from all over. From all over. I want to see what suits me best. Because I am in a crucial period of my life and career. It's a decision I'm going to take the time to consider."

Ter Stegen reveals 'crazy' Man City transfer meeting with Guardiola

Marc-Andre ter Stegen has revealed the details of his proposed move to Manchester City in 2016, when he received a surprise visit from Cityzens manager Pep Guardiola in the city of Barcelona.

Speaking on BILD's Phrasenmaher podcast, Ter Stegen said: "We met here in Barcelona. It was crazy: I had to pick up someone else at the airport in the morning, but Pep came out too, with his cap on. I saw him and didn't know what to do. We met that evening at a friend's apartment. The plan sounded very good; I could have seen myself there. Pep wanted to make everything possible, and the club was very committed to me. Ter Stegen also revealed that then-manager Luis Enrique objected to his release: "When he said we'd wait for the preseason—after two years—I almost got angry. I then spoke to the board. They also said: 'We're not letting you go under any circumstances.' The release clause at the time was €80 million. Three weeks later, Claudio Bravo was at Man City. That was kind of strange. In the end, the transfer didn't happen, and I'm very happy about that."

Vinicius Jr makes decision on Real Madrid future

Per ESPN, the Saudi Pro League have cooled their interest in the Real Madrid star and have not approached the player's representatives since December 2024. Earlier, the point of contact between the league and the player was Saad Al Lazeez, who served as the SPL's vice chairman. Al Lazeez, however, resigned from his post last month.

Read Madrid initiated contract talks with Vinicius Jr first in February this year and tabled an offer similar to the player's current salary, €17 million (£14m/$18.6m) a year after tax. The player's camp then forwarded their own proposal, which was significantly higher than what the club offered. The Spanish champions are yet to respond to the player's revised demands. The Brazilian still has two years left in his existing deal.

Kulusevski backed to quit Spurs amid Napoli and AC Milan links

Former Spurs scout Mick Brown has backed Dejan Kulusevski to leave the North London club at the end of the season amid reports the winger could return to Serie A in the summer.

Speaking to Football Insider, Brown said: "Kulusevski is one who could leave this summer. I think a lot of the players are frustrated with the way the season has gone at Tottenham. Whenever I've seen them play, he has been one of if not their best player, so they're not going to want to lose him unless a really big offer comes in. I hear a couple of the Italian clubs have been looking at him – AC Milan and Napoli. It's a league and a country he knows after his time with Juventus, so a return might suit him. I think he's going to be interested in those moves should the opportunity arise for him. It's definitely one I think will be feasible even if Tottenham don't want to let him leave, because he will want to continue playing at the highest level. He's certainly good enough to do it, so it wouldn't surprise me to see him go."
