Bayern Munich have increased their offer for PSV midfielder Ismael Saibari to a package worth €53 million. The Morocco international has become a priority midfield target as Bayern try to strengthen before the new season.

Argentina have returned to the top of the FIFA men’s world rankings as they begin their World Cup title defence. France and Spain slipped behind them, while Mexico rose to 14th and the USMNT dropped to 17th.

Argentina’s friendly wins over Honduras and Iceland helped them regain first place for the first time since July 2025. The rankings also leave Italy as the highest-ranked non-participant and New Zealand as the lowest-ranked World Cup team.

Assan Ouedraogo has been called into Germany’s World Cup squad after Lennart Karl suffered a severe thigh injury in final training. The RB Leipzig midfielder said Julian Nagelsmann’s call sparked an explosion of emotion during his holiday.

Ouedraogo was relaxing in Marbella when Nagelsmann contacted him, turning a break into a sudden World Cup opportunity. The change gives Germany a late midfield adjustment before their campaign begins against Curacao in Houston.

Alphonso Davies is facing a difficult race to be fully involved in Canada’s home World Cup after an injury-hit build-up. The Bayern Munich star remains the face of Canadian soccer but may not play major minutes early.

Canada begin against Bosnia and Herzegovina in Toronto without certainty over their captain’s role. Davies’ limited availability would be a major blow for a host nation relying heavily on his profile, pace and experience.
