Wolverhampton Wanderers are interested in signing Samuel Iling-Junior from Juventus in the summer transfer window, according to . The report has claimed that Juventus are ready to cash in on the 20-year-old winger at the end of the season, and that Wolves are among the clubs who are keen on him.

Aritz Aduriz hopes to end his Athletic Bilbao career by winning the Copa del Rey, admitting he had grown tired of watching Barcelona and Real Madrid win everything .
Athletic knocked Barca out of the competition at the quarter-final stage last week thanks to a stoppage-time own goal from Sergio Busquets.
Madrid had earlier been defeated 4-3 at home by Athletic s Basque rivals Real Sociedad, marking the first time in 65 years that Spain s grandest two clubs had been eliminated from the Copa on the same day.
The semi-finals will see Athletic face Granada and Sociedad take on Mirandes, with the decision to reformat the competition by removing two-legged ties prior to the last four paying dividends for some of Spain s lesser lights.
Aduriz was part of the tea…

Cristiano Ronaldo paid old friends a visit on Friday, dropping in on Carlo Ancelotti and Real Madrid ahead of the Supercopa de Espana final in Riyadh.
It may have been rude of Madrid s record goalscorer not to show his face, given Los Blancos were training at the facilities of his new team, Al Nassr.
The 37-year-old was nevertheless warmly received as his former team were put through their paces, training in the build-up to Sunday s trophy game against Barcelona.
Ronaldo watched the session and met with Madrid s players, the club said, with the Portuguese perhaps hankering for a slice of the action.
He also chatted with fellow former Madrid star Roberto Carlos, with the Brazilian making an appearance at the session as well.
Ronaldo last featured i…

The Spain international is Leverkusen s second arrival during the close season, along with Jeanuel Belocian, who will join the club from Ligue 1 side Rennes on July 1.

Manchester United boss Erik ten Hag believes there is a new energy around the club as they prepare for the first full campaign under the Jim Ratcliffe regime.
Ten Hag oversaw a miserable eighth-placed Premier League finish in 2023-24 and was believed to be on the brink of being sacked, only for United to stun neighbours Manchester City in May s FA Cup final at Wembley Stadium.
Having led the Red Devils to a second major trophy in as many years at the helm, Ten Hag was then handed a contract extension to run through the 2025-26 season.
That new deal for the Dutchman represents a real show of faith from INEOS chief Ratcliffe, who assumed full control of football operations when he bought a 25% stake in the club last December.
Speaking to the club s media ch…

Jadon Sancho’s future at Manchester United appears uncertain after a public falling-out with manager Erik ten Hag.
It is the latest instalment in what has been a frustrating spell at Old Trafford for the England international.
Here, the PA news agency looks at where it has gone wrong.
What has happened?
Ten Hag did not include Sancho in his squad for Sunday’s game at Arsenal, saying the player had not reached the required “level” in training. This was quickly disputed by Sancho in a strong statement on social media. The 23-year-old claimed he had been made a “scapegoat” for a long time and that claims about his conduct in training were “completely untrue”. Coming after two difficult years at the club, it raised questions over his future.
