Premier League Friday with Roman Kemp LIVE! Latest team news, exclusive interviews and analysis

Jose emerges as Perez's preferred choice to take over at Real Madrid

Jose Mourinho is the preferred candidate of Real Madrid president Florentino Perez to take over as head coach this summer, according to The Athletic.

Temporary boss Alvaro Arbeloa's contract at Real Madrid runs out at the end of the season and Mourinho has emerged as a surprise contender for the job at his former club.

Currently in charge of Benfica, Mourinho reportedly has a 2.6m break clause in his contract with the Portuguese club, currently second in the league and seven points behind leaders Porto.

Mourinho does not enjoy universal support inside Real Madrid to return for a second spell, according to this report.

However, with Perez leading the process to find a long-term successor to Xabi Alonso, who was sacked earlier this season, Mourinho finds himself in a strong position, the report adds.

Catley signs new Arsenal deal

Steph Catley has signed a new contract with Arsenal.

The defender joined the club in July 2020, and has gone on to win the Champions League, two League Cups and the Champions Cup.

The Australia international was nominated for the Ballon d'Or in 2025 and has won the Australian PFA Womens Footballer of the Year award three times.

Cunha calls for 'one more year' of Casemiro

 Manchester United forward Matheus Cunha has called for "one more year" of Casemiro after his impressive display in a crucial 2-1 win over Brentford on Monday night. 

Casemiro earned Player of the Match as United beat Brentford to edge closer to securing a Champions League spot. 

The 34-year-old Brazilian international, who scored his side's opener on the night, is set to leave when his contract expires at the end of the season. 

Speaking after the game, Carrick said, "It's still clear from both sides" that Casemiro would depart this summer, but his team-mate Cunha suggested he would prefer his compatriot to stay. 

In a post on his Instagram story, Cunha posted "1 more year Casemiro" as he celebrated United's win over Brentford. Cunha missed the game due to injury. 

Iraola, Silva and Alonso among candidates to replace Rosenior at Chelsea

Latest from Your Site News' Kaveh Solhekol: 

Andoni Iraola, Marco Silva and Xabi Alonso are among the managers Chelsea are discussing as potential replacements for Liam Rosenior this summer. 

Chelsea believe there will be a bigger pool of high-calibre managers available this summer than there were last time they appointed a manager between seasons. 

When Enzo Maresca got the job in June 2024, Kieran McKenna was the other candidate on their shortlist and neither manager had Premier League experience at the time.

Chelsea now want someone with Premier League experience and/or someone with a proven track record at a high level. 

Iraola has said he is leaving Bournemouth this summer, Alonso is out of work and Silva's Fulham contract runs out in two months.

Chelsea are not in a rush to make an appointment and Calum McFarlane will remain in charge until the end of the season.

'Newcastle to explore Wissa sale less than a year after 55m move'

Newcastle will explore selling Yoane Wissa in the summer, less than a year after joining in a 55m deal, according to The Athletic.

It is claimed Newcastle are now actively looking to move Wissa on, but the striker wants to stay at St James' Park.

The 29-year-old has struggled since joining Newcastle on Deadline Day after a protracted move from Brentford.

He has scored just three goals in 24 appearances across all competitions this season for Eddie Howe's side, with only one goal coming in the Premier League.

Injuries have plagued his short time at the Magpies, but Newcastle are reportedly now actively looking to move Wissa on in the summer window.

The report says Brentford included a 25 per cent sell-on clause in the 55m deal agreed last summer.

Marseille boss expects way more from on-loan Arsenal Nwaneri

The loan of Arsenal youngster Ethan Nwaneri at Marseille has taken another turn for the worse after he was told to give way more by Habib Beye.

The 19-year-old signed for the Ligue 1 club during January and immediately gained the trust of old boss Roberto De Zerbi with a goal on his debut against Lens.

However, De Zerbis departure a month later who has subsequently taken over at Arsenals rivals Tottenham resulted in Beye being installed as head coach and Nwaneris opportunities have since been limited.

England U21 international Nwaneri has failed to start any of the last 11 matches and remained as an unused substitute in Marseilles 1-1 draw at home to Nice on Sunday.

When Beye was pressed on what Nwaneri needs to do to earn more minutes ahead of Marseilles final three games this season, the ex-Newcastle defender said: Hes a quality player, but he has to give us way more in his day-to-day commitment.

Other players gave way more.

Milan and Bayern intersted in signing Vlahovic

Latest from Sky Italy's Gianluca Di Marzio:

AC Milan and Bayern Munich are all interested in signing Dusan Vlahovic if he does not renew his Juventus contract this summer.

AC Milan are also ahead in the race to sign Leon Goretzka, whose contract at Bayern is coming to an end and will leave the club on July 1.

Bayern chief confirms Kane contract talks and rules out Olise departure

Bayern Munich will hold talks with Harry Kane about a new contract at the end of the season, Karl-Heinz Rummenigge has confirmed.

Sky Germany reported earlier this year that Bayern were calm about Kanes situation with his current deal expiring in 2027 and had begun discussions with him about the future.

Now Rummenigge the Bayern supervisory board-member and former chief executive - says Kane has signalled he wants to stay at the club and negotiations will follow the end of the campaign.

In an interview with t-online in Germany, Rummenigge said: Bringing Harry Kane to Bayern Munich was a major coup in the club's history.

It's well known that he had a release clause. He didn't activate it, signalling that he would definitely stay in Munich.

And now, the relevant management in the operational area as agreed will hold talks with him sometime after the season, with the clear aim of extending his contract.

Harry has undergone another transformation under Vincent Kompany. He's always been a great striker who scored a lot of goals.

But now he's a playmaker, dropping back into midfield and using his wonderful long passes to bring Michael Olise and Luis Daz into the game. That's very important for our style of play.

Rummenigge is also the latest Bayern official to effectively rule out Michael Olise leaving the club this summer, even for an astronomical fee.

For a player like Olise, there's no price tag that would make us flinch, he said.

Webster to leave Bromley at the end of the season

Bromley captain Byron Webster will be leaving the club at the end of the season.

The defender scored the winning penalty at Wembley in the National League play-off final as the Ravens were promoted to the Football League for the first time.

Just two years later, Bromley will be playing in League One next season in the most successful period in the club's history, spearheaded by Webster.
