Julian Alvarez sends shockwaves through Manchester City by indicating his intention to depart

Julian Alvarez has shocked Manchester City by expressing his desire to leave the club, according to The Sun. The Argentina international, who scored 11 goals in 36 league appearances last season, reportedly rejected a new contract that would have extended his stay until 2028. Alvarez has asked the club to set a reasonable asking price for potential buyers.

Manchester United expresses interest in Simons

Meanwhile, Manchester United are linked with Netherlands and Paris Saint-Germain midfielder Xavi Simons. Simons, who was on loan at RB Leipzig last season, faces a significant decision about his future. PSG is yet to determine his role, but with competition for playing time under Luis Enrique, a move seems likely. United, Bayern Munich, and Leipzig are showing strong interest, with any exit likely to be a loan with an obligation to buy, due to a sell-on clause with PSV Eindhoven.

If the England squad emerges victorious in Euro 2024, they are poised to receive substantial bonuses.

England’s squad stands to gain a substantial bonus if they win the Euro 2024 final against Spain, as reported by The Telegraph. Each player could earn over £350,000 from a £10 million bonus pot. Despite the lucrative reward, it is said to be a low priority for the players, most of whom are reportedly unaware of the exact amount they stand to gain if they secure the championship.
