Chelsea are changing their transfer approach under Xabi Alonso, with the club looking at experienced players like Jordan Henderson. A new era is beginning at Chelsea with Xabi Alonso as the manager, which also comes with many changes to the team. As part of the new approach being implemented, the club are looking at experienced names like Jordan Henderson, Danny Welbeck and Eric Garcia. While Chelsea have characterized themselves by investing heavily in young players in recent years, their strategy could see a slight change by adding experienced figures to balance out the squad. Sky Sports reported that the Blues are interested in signing Henderson after failing to bring in Granit Xhaka. Henderson has impressed since returning to England with Brentford and remains an experienced option in midfield. The former Liverpool captain has one year remaining on his Brentford contract, but Chelsea are exploring the possibility of adding him to their squad. Chelsea hold talks for Welbeck The midfield is not the only area where Alonso wants to add more experience, as Chelsea have also explored a move for Welbeck to strengthen their attacking options.

Welbeck has one year remaining on his contract with Brighton and would bring Premier League experience to Chelsea’s attack. His versatility and experience are among the reasons why he has become a name followed by the club. Garcia becomes a name to follow for Chelsea Chelsea are also monitoring Garcia as they look for defensive reinforcements, according to reports reproduced by Marca. The Barcelona defender has emerged as a player to follow, with his situation attracting interest from clubs looking for defensive depth. Garcia’s ability to play as a center-back and cover other defensive positions makes him an attractive option. Chelsea could face competition for his signature, with AC Milan also reportedly interested in the player.
Vinicius' future at Real Madrid could be uncertain amid ongoing contract talks. For the last few years, there has been a strong connection between Vinicius and Real Madrid, with the club winning major trophies while the winger has shined on the left side. However, they could be headed for a split if they cannot reach an agreement on a new contract. Vinicius’ future could then be in the Premier League, with Sky Sports reporting that Arsenal are exploring a potential move for the Real Madrid star. The report suggests that the interest is still in its early stages and that the clubs have not been in contact. The situation is connected to Vinicius’ contract, as the 26-year-old has entered the final year of his current deal with Real Madrid. The Spanish club wants to reach an agreement on a new contract, but Real Madrid could consider selling him rather than risk losing one of its biggest stars for free next summer. Arsenal’s other options in attack Vinicius is not the only player Arsenal are considering for their attack. The Gunners have also been interested in Bradley Barcola if the Paris Saint-Germain forward becomes available, while Yan Diomande has emerged as another option for the left side of the attack. Arsenal have also pursued Julián Álvarez as they look for a major addition to their forward line. Barcola could be an option (Florencia Tan Jun/Getty Images) The need for another attacking option has increased after Leandro Trossard‘s departure, with the Belgian leaving Arsenal for Besiktas. Gabriel Martinelli’s recent output has also become a point of attention, with the Brazilian scoring only one goal in the Premier League they just won. Arsenal’s interest in Vinicius therefore comes as part of a wider search for more quality in attack. The club have already purchased Christos Tzolis, but the Brazilian would represent a much bigger addition to the squad and could give the Gunners another elite option on the left side of the attack. Real Madrid’s renewal problem with Vinicius Mundo Deportivo reports that Real Madrid are willing to raise Vinicius’ salary from €15 million to €20 million net per year, but the two sides are still not close to an agreement. The Brazilian wants terms that would put him alongside Kylian Mbappé as the club’s highest-paid player, which could leave the door open for Arsenal if the renewal talks remain unresolved.
According to The Athletic, Fulham are currently in talks with Real Madrid about the possibility of signing Gonzalo Garcia. If the transfer goes through, Garcia would be following in the footsteps of coach Alvaro Arbeloa, who was sacked by Real Madrid at the end of last season and has been appointed by Fulham since. Real […] The post Fulham in Gonzalo Garcia talks appeared first on SoccerNews.
Lionel Messi will lead a revamped 26-man Argentina roster into the 2026 World Cup, featuring eight highly touted tournament debutants ready to step onto the grandest stage in international soccer. Lionel Messi is officially tuning up for his sixth and final World Cup campaign after manager Lionel Scaloni unveiled Argentina’s final 26-man squad, that will travel to North America looking to defend the title. The roster highlights a significant evolution from the group that hoisted the trophy in Qatar four years ago, with nine world champions missing out due to international retirement—such as icon Angel Di Maria—or direct tactical cuts by the coaching staff. To bridge the gap, Scaloni is injecting fresh energy into the squad, handing eight players the very first World Cup call-ups of their careers. Juan Musso, Leonardo Balerdi, Facundo Medina, Valentin Barco, Giuliano Simeone, Nicolas Gonzalez, Nico Paz, and Jose Manuel Lopez represent the vital tactical newcomers integrated to help the Albiceleste retain their crown. Notably, midfielder Giovani Lo Celso also returns to the World Cup fold after a heartbreaking injury forced him to miss the 2022 tournament, though he previously made his tournament debut at Russia 2018. Meanwhile, high-profile Premier League stars Emiliano Buendía and Marcos Senesi stand as the most glaring omissions, failing to make the cut despite spectacular domestic campaigns. Here they are. These are the guys. pic.twitter.com/xU2lcpJnpW— Selección Argentina in English (@AFASeleccionEN) May 28, 2026 Meet Argentina’s eight World Cup debutants Juan Musso The Atletico Madrid goalkeeper has been a consistent fixture throughout the Scaloni era, missing out on the 2022 squad purely due to the veteran logjam ahead of him. Musso forced his way onto the plane this time around on the heels of a stellar European season, racking up seven clean sheets in 18 appearances while anchoring Los Colchoneros during their deep run to the UEFA Champions League semifinals. Leonardo Balerdi A reliable asset throughout the CONMEBOL qualifying cycle, Balerdi enters the tournament as the primary cover for Cristian Romero in central defense. Having established himself as a mature defensive anchor and team leader at Olympique Marseille, Balerdi logged 36 appearances this season, contributing a goal and an assist. Facundo Medina On loan at Olympique Marseille from Lens, Medina emerged as one of the most intriguing inclusions on Scaloni’s final sheet. His supreme tactical versatility—capable of slotting in as a center-back or operating as a left-back—proved irresistible to the coaching staff. Despite missing a 16-match chunk of the season to a nagging ankle injury, his impact over 26 appearances was enough to earn his ticket. Valentin Barco Barco stands out as one of the most versatile utility players on the entire roster, seamlessly alternating between a left-back and a central midfielder. Following a spectacular 43-match campaign with Strasbourg—where he registered three goals, 11 assists, and reached the Conference League semifinals—Barco secured a high-profile transfer to Chelsea, where he will play after the tournament. Nico Paz Despite a late-season knee scare that threatened his availability, Paz recovered in time to cement his spot. The creative midfielder enjoyed a breakout year with Como, playing a starring role in driving the Italian side to a historic Champions League qualification spot. Paz comes off a season featuring 13 goals and eight assists in 40 games, positioning him to fight for a starting spot under Scaloni. Giuliano Simeone Simeone’s tireless work rate has made him a vital tactical piece in Scaloni’s squad rotation. Capable of exhausting opposing defenses by covering the entire right flank, the Atletico Madrid attacker earned his World Cup stripes by logging seven goals and eight assists across 53 appearances this season. Nicolas Gonzalez After a heartbreaking, late-hour injury cruelly ruled him out of the Qatar 2022 s
Led by the legendary Lionel Messi, Argentina have officially unveiled their star-studded 2026 World Cup roster, including Julian Alvarez and Enzo Fernandez Lionel Messi is officially locked in to anchor his historic, career-defining final World Cup campaign. In a highly anticipated announcement, manager Lionel Scaloni finalized Argentina’s 26-man roster for the tournament in North America, with established global superstars Julian Alvarez and Enzo Fernandez headlining a loaded squad. While international media outlets widely expected Scaloni to withhold the roster drop until Friday, May 29, the Argentine master tactician caught the soccer world by surprise, by releasing the official list a day early on Thursday published across the Argentine Football Association’s (AFA) social media channels. The tournament marks a monumental milestone for the Inter Miami captain. By stepping onto the pitch in North America, Messi will officially establish an unprecedented all-time record by competing in his sixth career World Cup—a legendary longevity milestone he is slated to share with his longtime eternal rival, Portugal’s Cristiano Ronaldo. In a bold move to refresh the squad, Scaloni made the difficult decision to leave out several key figures who helped lift the trophy in Qatar four years ago. Aside from the mandatory absences of legendary winger Angel Di Maria and veteran goalkeeper Franco Armani—both of whom retired from international soccer—and the injured fullback Juan Foyth, the coaching staff opted to cut six active world champions from the traveling roster. #SelecciónMayor Con toda la fuerza de los argentinos 💪🏻🇦🇷 pic.twitter.com/84Lh03BgxH— 🇦🇷 Selección Argentina ⭐⭐⭐ (@Argentina) May 28, 2026 Due to tactical decisions and recent form, Marcos Acuña, German Pezzella, Alejandro Gomez, Guido Rodriguez, Angel Correa, and Paulo Dybala have all been left off the flight to North America, missing out on the chance to defend their global crown. Perhaps the most shocking omissions from Scaloni’s final squad list came from the English Premier League. Both Emiliano Buendia and Marcos Senesi were left out of the final roster, as they were widely projected to lock in their spots on the plane to North America following stellar individual campaigns.
