Leroy Sané (Bayern Munich)
Summer 2025
Bayern have officially offered Sané a contract until 2028 after his impressive recent form.
Sané is reportedly open to a pay cut to remain with the Bundesliga giants, with talks ongoing to finalize the deal.
Marcus Rashford (Aston Villa)
Summer 2025
Villa may struggle to sign Rashford permanently due to his high wages, reopening the door for PSG to revisit a deal they nearly completed earlier this season.
Rashford has reportedly resumed contact with PSG’s Luis Campos, with financial demands key to any outcome.
Matheus Cunha (Wolverhampton Wanderers)
Summer 2025
Newcastle have identified Wolves forward Cunha as their main summer signing target, viewing him as a key addition to elevate their squad.
Cunha has 13 league goals in a mid-table Wolves team and could be swayed by the presence of fellow Brazilians Bruno Guimarães and Joelinton at Newcastle.
Kyle Walker (AC Milan), Dele Alli (Como)
April 2025
Dele Alli’s first match in 748 days ended just nine minutes after coming on, as VAR upgraded his yellow card to a red for a foul on Ruben Loftus-Cheek. Walker tried to intervene out of personal loyalty.
Walker admitted he wouldn’t have defended anyone else, but his history with Dele at Spurs and England made him try. Dele, returning after years of career and personal struggles, was likely overzealous in stopping a counterattack. His comeback under Cesc Fàbregas was cut short in heartbreaking fashion.
Andre Onana (Manchester United)
April 11, 2025 Europa League Quarterfinal
Onana made two critical mistakes against Lyon, leading to goals in a 2-2 draw. Fans were furious, demanding a replacement and questioning the club’s decision to part ways with David De Gea.
In addition to his poor handling, online speculation suggests Onana may have used Vaseline on his gloves, possibly affecting grip. While unconfirmed, the suspicion adds fuel to the backlash, with some fans calling for an internal investigation.
Edu Gaspar
Officially confirmed at the end of his contract, April 2025
Edu shared a heartfelt goodbye to Arsenal after stepping down as Sporting Director, highlighting his pride in helping rebuild the club and restore Champions League expectations.
The Brazilian thanked fans, staff, and ownership for their support, explaining his delayed statement was due to his garden leave. Edu leaves fulfilled, handing over to Andrea Berta, and wishing the club ongoing success.
Luka Doncic (Los Angeles Lakers)
Wednesday night (April 10)
Luka Doncic returned to Dallas for the first time since being traded and delivered a dominant 45-point performance, leading the Lakers to a 112-97 win and clinching a playoff berth.
Overcome with emotion after a tribute video, Doncic regained focus to shine against his former team. The home crowd honored him with cheers, while chants of “Fire Nico!” targeted the Mavericks’ GM who orchestrated the controversial trade.
Jaden Ivey (Detroit Pistons)
Cleared on Thursday (April 11)
Ivey has been cleared to resume basketball activities after missing over three months with a broken left fibula. He averaged 17.6 points in 30 games this season before the injury.
The Pistons announced that Ivey is entering a re-conditioning phase and will be re-evaluated in two weeks. His return could strengthen Detroit’s roster as they prepare for their first playoff appearance since 2019.
Nikola Jokic, David Adelman (Denver Nuggets)
April 10, 2025
Following the sudden firing of coach Michael Malone and GM Calvin Booth, the Nuggets snapped a four-game losing streak with a 124-116 win over the Kings. Jokic recorded his 33rd triple-double of the season.
Interim coach David Adelman led Denver to a much-needed victory after ownership acted to jolt the team amid locker room frustrations and declining defensive effort. Adelman emphasized restoring trust and simplicity in communication. The win comes as Denver (48-32) pushes to avoid the play-in and recapture playoff form.
Phoenix Suns
April 10, 2025
The Phoenix Suns, the NBA’s most expensive roster, were officially eliminated from postseason contention after an eighth straight double-digit loss — this time 125-112 to the shorthanded Thunder. They will miss the play-in tournament.
Despite a roster packed with star power and a strong 8-1 start, injuries, inconsistency, and lack of culture-building doomed their season. Durant missed the final five games, Beal struggled with injuries, and coach Budenholzer never found a rhythm. At 35-45, they now face a long offseason and potential shakeups.
