Real Madrid knows Jürgen Klopp's decision
Jürgen Klopp does not plan to take back a bench anytime soon. Despite speculation sending him to Real Madrid to succeed Carlo Ancelotti, The Telegraph Confirms, as his agent Marc Kosicke has already pointed out, which the German will not return before the summer of 2026 – as soon as possible. Klopp remains a credible track, however, for the role of coach after the 2026 World Cup. Now engaged in a strategic position at Red Bull, where he oversees six clubs worldwide, the former Liverpool coach benefits from a quieter pace, better suited to his new priorities. His current situation therefore dismisses any idea of an imminent return to the Bernabéu. Xabi Alonso also moves away from the Madrid bench because of the 15M € necessary to buy his last year of contract in Leverkusen as explained Sky Germany. Enough to strengthen the hypothesis of seeing Ancelotti again on the Real bench next year.
A period of hollow for Ousmane Dembélé
Ousmane Dembélé crosses a slight period of statistical hollow in April, with only two goals scored despite an exceptional season with 32 goals and 11 assists. Less used recently by Luis Enrique to preserve him for the big meetings, he seems frustrated and lacking in rhythm. His performance against Nantes showed him less sharp, despite attempts. His coach remains confident, believing that this management is necessary to arrive strong at the end of the season. PSG will count on him to shine against Arsenal in the Champions League.
Good news for Lamine Yamal and Barça
Barça approaches the title after its 1-0 victory against Mallorca. Another good news outside the field, the renewal of Lamine Yamal at Barça becomes more likely thanks to a new rule of Laliga allowing clubs to extend players under 24 even without margin in their salary ceiling. Lamine, which has been under contract for three seasons, could sign a new lucrative contract. The club will nevertheless have to balance its accounts to avoid economic sanctions. The new flexibility of the Laliga economic system also allows clubs to temporarily record players by exceeding the salary ceiling, thus facilitating market operations. This reform aims to energize the transfer market while maintaining financial balance.
