Manchester United have made a final decision on Jadon Sancho's future amid an underwhelming loan spell at Aston Villa. Sancho was shipped out on loan to Chelsea last season but the Blues ended up paying a penalty fee to send him back to Old Trafford. Another loan spell has followed in the current campaign but Sancho is once again struggling to impress.

Juventus defender Pierre Kalulu has broken his silence regarding the controversial red card incident involving Alessandro Bastoni that has dominated Italian football headlines this week. The French centre-back found himself at the centre of a heated debate following an expulsion during the recent clash against Inter, an episode that saw the referee come under intense scrutiny for his decision-making. Despite the noise surrounding the apology issued by the Inter vice-captain, Kalulu appeared keen to move past the drama during a difficult week for the Bianconeri.

Benfica have said that Gianluca Prestianni is the victim of a "defamation campaign" while backing up the winger's claim that he did not racially abuse Vinicius Junior in Tuesday night's Champions League clash with Real Madrid. Vinicius alleged that Prestianni directed a racial slur at him after the Real Madrid star celebrated scoring the opening goal in the first leg of the knockout stage play-off tie.

UEFA has officially opened a disciplinary investigation into Benfica forward Gianluca Prestianni following allegations of racist behaviour during the first leg of their Champions League play-off clash against Real Madrid. The European governing body confirmed the appointment of an ethics and disciplinary inspector to look into the events at the Estadio da Luz, where Madrid secured a 1-0 victory. The flashpoint occurred shortly after Vinicius Jr found the net, leading to a significant delay as the Brazilian international and several team-mates confronted the opposition and the referee regarding a deeply offensive slur.

Manchester United have become "frustrated" by the agreement they struck with Barcelona for the loan transfer of Marcus Rashford. The England international is spending the 2025-26 season with Hansi Flick's side, and the deal does include a purchase option set at £26 million (£30m). However, Rashford's good form with the Catalan giants has left Manchester United worrying that his valuation has risen significantly.

The RFEF Competition Committee has handed down a significant punishment to Sevilla head coach Matias Almeyda following the chaotic scenes that unfolded during last Saturday's La Liga clash against Alaves. The Argentine tactician has been hit with a seven-game ban after being sent off and subsequently engaging in a heated confrontation with referee Galech Apezteguia. While the automatic suspension for the red card accounts for the start of the penalty, the committee decided to add a further six matches due to the gravity of the incidents that followed his dismissal.

Borussia Dortmund striker Serhou Guirassy was the undisputed hero on the pitch during the 2-0 Champions League victory over Atalanta, but it was his actions after finding the back of the net that truly resonated. After enduring a frustrating dry spell earlier in the campaign, the Guinean international has hit a rich vein of form, netting six goals in his last four competitive outings. However, his latest strike was accompanied by a poignant tribute that revealed a deeply personal struggle behind the scenes.
