Liam Rosenior extends Strasbourg contract until 2028
Strasbourg head coach Liam Rosenior has extended his contract at the club until June 2028.
The 40-year-old turned down multiple approaches from Premier League clubs to commit to the Ligue 1 side.
Under the leadership of president Marc Keller in collaboration with ownership group BlueCo — who also own Premier League side Chelsea — Strasbourg are on course for an historic season by challenging for European qualification. They are currently seventh in Ligue 1 — which could get them there — with only four rounds of fixtures remaining.

Strasbourg have done that only once since 2005, yet even then (2019-20) they fell short of making the Europa League group stage after losing a play-off to Eintracht Frankfurt.
Strasbourg have the youngest squad in Ligue 1 with an average starting age of 21.4 years, according to transfermarkt, and are among the youngest squads in European football history.'
Rosenior, 40, was sacked as Hull City head coach in May 2024 despite being nominated for Championship manager of the 2023-24 season along with Kieran McKenna and Daniel Farke.
A former full-back, Rosenior started his managerial career at Derby County, having been appointed as interim head coach following the resignation of Wayne Rooney in June 2022 and joining Hull later that year on a two-and-a-half year contract.

Leeds bid €26 million for Strasbourg's Habib Diarra
According to a report from L'Équipe, Leeds United have sent an offer of €26 million to RC Strasbourg Alsace for club captain Habib Diarra (21). As L'Équipe have previously noted, unlike last summer, Strasbourg are no longer against losing the midfielder and would be willing to sell if a big enough offer lands at their door for a player who is under contract until 2028. Advertisement Aston Villa and Stade Rennais have both been previously linked, but it appears as if Leeds are the first club to enter concrete talks to try and secure the Senegalese international. Strasbourg are expected to wait and see how the market will respond to Leeds' offer. Leeds will be back in the Premier League after a two-year absence after they won the 2024/25 Championship. They had narrowly missed out on promotion the season before when they lost in the playoff final to Southampton FC. GFFN | Nick Hartland

Manchester City to propose improved bid for Lyon's Rayan Cherki
Manchester City are set to improve their offer to Olympique Lyonnais for Rayan Cherki (21), according to a report from Fabrizio Romano. It was reported by Sacha Tavolieri that Manchester City's opening offer was rejected by Lyon after it fell short of their €35-40 million valuation of the France international. Tavolieri wrote that Manchester City only offered €23 million. An improved bid was expected, with Cherki being the Premier League side's priority target as they look for a new playmaker. Advertisement Romano explains that talks between Lyon and Manchester City have restarted, with Cherki very keen to join the English club. It's been previously reported that Cherki has already agreed on personal terms with Manchester City and had spoken to Pep Guardiola about the project. Cherki recently became a France international for the first time, earning his debut and scoring against Spain in the Nations League semi-final defeat (5-4). He also made an appearance in the third-place playoff victory against Germany (2-0). GFFN | Nick Hartland
