    Dejan Kulusevski has undergone another knee operation, extending an already long absence that has kept him out for the entire 2025-26 season so far. The Tottenham winger said little about timing and avoided setting any return date as he continues rehabilitation.

Sweden coach Graham Potter had recently said Kulusevski was still only at a support-stage rehab level, underlining how far he remains from match action

    March 2026

    Manchester United and Casemiro have reportedly agreed to remove a performance-based contract trigger, clearing the way for the midfielder to leave this summer without the club risking an automatic extra year on his deal. The move simplifies his departure and removes any reason to manage his minutes for financial purposes. The reported clause would have activated if Casemiro hit a specific Premier League starts threshold. By waiving it, United can continue selecting him on merit while proceeding with a planned midfield reset, rather than balancing team selection against wage exposure.

    Antonio Rudiger is facing renewed scrutiny over his Germany role, with growing debate that Jonathan Tah and Nico Schlotterbeck may now be ahead of him in the centre-back hierarchy. Recent criticism has focused on form, fitness and disciplinary noise rather than his status as an automatic defensive leader. Reuters confirmed Rudiger is back in Germany’s squad after injury, but current reporting in Germany indicates Nagelsmann values Tah’s consistency and Schlotterbeck’s left-footed build-up qualities. That leaves Rudiger needing strong performances and full fitness to reassert himself before the World Cup.

Barcelona still have the agreed purchase route, but financial constraints and talk of a restructured arrangement have created uncertainty. Reuters previously confirmed Rashford joined Barcelona on a season-long loan with an option to buy for about €30 million. ESPN has since reported that Barcelona are considering either reducing the fee or extending the loan, which would leave United free to explore other buyers rather than reopen talks on weaker terms.

Gerrard argued that only a top-three or top-four winger in the world can realistically fill the gap Salah leaves behind. Reports have linked Liverpool with several wide players, including Michael Olise, but Salah’s agent has also warned that no one yet knows where the Egyptian will play next season
