Premier League champions have £70m offer turned downBrazil midfielder has arrived at Newcastle training campArsenal have stepped up their attempt to sign Bruno Guimarães by finally beginning formal transfer negotiations and making an opening offer, which Newcastle have rejected.Guimarães met Newcastle’s incoming manager, Matthias Jaissle, for the first time on Monday at the team’s pre-season training camp at La Manga after a post-World Cup holiday in Brazil.

Sign up now! Sign up now! Sign up now? Sign up now!Here we go again. And, no, we are not talking about the start of the new Scottish Premiership season or the preliminary round of the Carabao Cup – although that Tranmere v Rochdale shootout was a cracker. Yes, after a week of talk about money, greed and Donald Trump’s son-in-law’s brother, the hot topic around the water cooler on Monday was again Gianni Infantino and, more specifically, the English and Welsh FAs’ decisions to row back on their support of a stalling ship. Along with Finland, they’re the first of Uefa’s 55 members to withdraw their letters of support for next year’s Fifa overlord elections.I write to you with my deep regret on hearing about the death of the heroic and granite-made Franco Baresi. Two moments stand out to me, both off the pitch, and show what a great man he was. The first was when Arrigo Sacchi, the Milan manager, dropped his intensity in training, fearing he was overworking the players; Baresi convinced Sacchi to up it instead for the sake of the team, with spectacular results. The second was an older Baresi reflecting on his 1994 World Cup final loss to Brazil, which he appeared in 25 days after knee surgery. Rather than lamenting his lot, having missed a penalty and lost the final, Baresi instead recalled watching the 1970 final between Italy and Brazil, only the second game he had seen on TV. The first game was the West Germany v Italy semi-final, where he recalled watching the players who ‘to me, they were Martians’. He said: ‘I would never have thought 24 years later, at 34 years old, I would have the possibility to play in that same game, the final, against Brazil, the same team. It was a dream that came true.’ Rest in peace” – Nick Kinsella.I was wondering if Gianni Infantino might revist his Big Sale Opportunity by allowing smaller, club-level contestants from less lucrative leagues to participate in a seriously revamped World Cup, replacing their boycotting national sides. For instance, from the lower leagues of Scottish competitions. Mainly to render possible the wonderful hypothetical headline result of the last match of the (?) 2038 edition: Fifa Forward Final fiasco … East Fife 4, Forfar 5” – Russell Richardson.Steve Bennett’s comment on Newcastle United’s new kit (Friday’s Football Daily letters) made me think of West Bromwich Albion’s similarly ‘bar-coded’ Premier League strip from the 2020-21 season, at the end of which they were relegated.

Bournemouth forward Eli Junior Kroupi has suffered a foot injury which is set to rule him out for three to four months and Alexander Smith, senior reporter at the Daily Echo, believes he will be "a big miss" for the side. Kroupi scored 13 goals in 33 Premier League appearances during his debut campaign with the Cherries.
Everything was looking rosy for Howe at St James’ Park until Alexander Isak’s departure led to rushed signings and a messy seasonLast September, David Hopkinson, just installed as Newcastle’s chief executive, perched on a stool at a downstairs corner table in Shearer’s Bar at St James’ Park and between sips of zero alcohol lager, likened Eddie Howe to Bruce Springsteen. According to Hopkinson, Newcastle’s manager was “the Boss” and “the talent”. He conjured up an imaginary scene involving Springsteen asking for M&M’s before a concert and being duly supplied with a dressing room overflowing with the brightly coloured confectionery. The same principle, he said, would apply to “Eddie”, who would e furnished with “whatever he wants”.Six months later, things had changed. In late March, Hopkinson sat around a heavy wooden table in a St James’ Park boardroom and, between sips of coffee, said he did not “have a stance on the manager’s future”. What he could tell assembled reporters was that a recent home defeat by Sunderland “hurt”. It “resonated” and was being taken “seriously”. Given that Newcastle had just lost a Champions League tie 8-3 to Barcelona on aggregate and were en route to finishing 12th in the Premier League, Howe admitted to “sleepless nights” before a summit with the club’s majority Saudi Arabian ownership at Matfen Hall hotel in Northumberland the following month.

Cristiano Ronaldo could see the successful Al Ahli manager, Matthias Jaissle, leave the Saudi club for the Premier League. Cristiano Ronaldo could soon see one of his toughest domestic rivals lose the manager behind its recent continental dominance, with Al Ahli boss Matthias Jaissle closing in on a move to Newcastle United. According to Fabrizio Romano, Jaissle is “the top candidate and in advanced talks to become Newcastle’s new head coach,” with the Italian journalist adding that “he’s the number one candidate to replace Eddie Howe“. The move comes after Howe informed Newcastle of his desire to step away from the game for a break following five years in charge. Newcastle and Al Ahli share the same ownership structure, both being majority-owned by Saudi Arabia’s Public Investment Fund, which has made the transition between the two clubs notably smooth from an administrative standpoint. Jaissle’s departure would mark the end of a hugely successful spell in Saudi Arabia. The 38-year-old German, once tipped as the “new Julian Nagelsmann,” led Al Ahli to back-to-back AFC Champions League Elite titles, becoming the only manager in history to win the competition in consecutive seasons. He Led. We Conquered ☝️#AlAhli | #ACLElite | #LetsGoWithAlAhli pic.twitter.com/nr27AYMxh2— Al-Ahli Saudi Club (@ALAHLI_FCEN) April 25, 2026 Ronaldo facing Jaissle’s Al Ahli For Ronaldo and Al Nassr, Jaissle’s Al Ahli represented one of the club’s most competitive rivals in the Saudi Pro League, where, since Jaissle’s arrival in the summer of 2023, the sides have met seven times. Al Nassr has won four of those meetings, drawn one, and lost one in normal time, with an additional penalty-shootout defeat in the 2025 Saudi Super Cup final after a 2-2 draw. Across those seven encounters, Ronaldo managed to score five goals, with his most recent coming in the 2-0 win on April 29, 2026. Arne Slot emerges as a candidate for Al Ahli With Jaissle’s departure looking increasingly likely, Al Ahli have reportedly identified Arne Slot as a primary target to take over. The Dutch coach has been out of work since leaving Liverpool in May, a spell of just over two years at Anfield that included a Premier League title in 2025. Complicating matters, Slot is simultaneously being linked with the vacant Netherlands national team job, according to Fabrizio Romano. Slot emerged as the leading candidate to replace Ronald Koeman after the Dutch federation began searching for a successor following the Oranje’s disappointing Round of 32 exit to Morocco at the 2026 World Cup.
Liverpool beat Wrexham 1-0 in their second pre-season match in New York and new boss Andoni Iraola was full of praise for young midfielder Trey Nyoni. The 19-year-old played the whole first half before being substituted for Curtis Jones. Nyoni made six appearances in the Premier League last season, all as a substitute.
A growing connection with fans has helped make the women’s team by far the most enjoyable part of supporting SpursThe exciting football played by Tottenham’s women last season provided a much-needed antidote to the dreadful men’s team, who not only flirted with relegation, but took it out on a dinner date, looked deep into its eyes and started to plan a future together.Fortunately, that relationship fizzled out and fans were able to “celebrate” at the end of the season as Premier League status was secured. Meanwhile, Spurs achieved their highest points tally in the Women’s Super League. Highlights included a 7-2 goal‑fest against Aston Villa, a mind-bending FA Cup penalty shootout win against London City Lionesses (where the first 17 penalties were successfully slotted home) and a stream of wonder goals including a 40-yard screamer from Cathinka Tandberg.

Wrexham boss Jenny Sugarman remains "incredibly proud" of their achievements after getting knocked out of Women's Champions League qualifying. The Red Dragons suffered a 4-1 home defeat by Riga FC in the first round qualification final on Saturday evening, having taken the lead early on. Lili Jones' volley was cancelled out as the Latvian champions scored four second-half goals to reach the second round of qualifying at Wrexham's expense.
Wrexham manager Phil Parkinson hailed a "great week" in Tampa as his side secured another pre-season win over Premier League opposition by beating Leeds 3-2. After the win over Manchester United last week, the Welsh side continued their summer form as Sam Smith's late winner proved enough against a team featuring a host of Wales internationals. The Welsh side led after just 31 seconds as Kieffer Moore fired a low shot home.
Eddie Howe commented on Bruno Guimaraes' situation as Arsenal want the midfielder, Eddie Howe has spoken about Bruno Guimaraes‘ future at Newcastle United amid Arsenal‘s interest in signing the Brazil international. The Newcastle manager addressed the situation after his team drew 1-1 with Gateshead in a preseason friendly. Howe said: “I’ve had some really good conversations with him before the World Cup, during the World Cup and after the World Cup. What we speak about has to remain private, but he’s just a great player, a great person. I don’t know what’s going to happen with Bruno’s future. That’s for other people to speculate about. They are conversations that I’m not part of.” The midfielder has emerged as a major target for Arsenal, with reports indicating that he is also keen on a move to the Premier League champions. The Gunners are looking to strengthen their midfield, while Newcastle face the possibility of losing their captain. Howe wants Guimaraes to remain at Newcastle Despite the uncertainty surrounding Guimaraes’ future, Howe made clear that he would welcome the midfielder back to Newcastle’s squad. The Brazilian is expected to return to training on Friday after Brazil’s World Cup campaign ended earlier than he would have wanted. Howe wants to keep the captain (Ed Sykes/Getty Images) Guimaraes has been an important player for Newcastle since joining the club and has also become the team’s captain. His importance to Howe and the club is one reason why Newcastle are reportedly demanding a significant fee before considering his departure. Howe said: “Nothing to say Bruno won’t be back training with us. You’ve got to look at it in its own right. Bruno is the captain of our football club. He’s been an unbelievable player and person all through the time we have worked together. I speak on behalf of everyone at the football club. We absolutely love him and, of course, everyone will want him to stay.” Arsenal’s offer for Guimaraes BBC reported that Arsenal are ready to offer £70 million (approximately $94 million) for Guimaraes, while other reports claim that Newcastle want at least £80 million (approximately $107 million) to consider selling their captain.
