Bruno Genesio could leave Lille
It is also a season that ends without qualification for next season's Champions League. Despite a win on the final day of the season, OGC Nice's victory over Stade Brestois means that LOSC only finished fifth. They will therefore play in the Europa League next season.

Whether Bruno Genesio will be on the sidelines is another question entirely, with L'Équipe casting doubt over his future. The former Stade Rennais manager arrived last summer, replacing Paulo Fonseca. L'Équipe understands that he doesn't have an 'ideal' professional relationship with president Olivier Létang.
There is also frustration about the transfer window dealings and the management of contract situations. Chuba Akpom was the only arrival in January, whilst Jonathan David, Angel Gomes, Rémy Cabella, and Samuel Umtiti will all leave on free transfers. Unconsulted in the recruitment process, Genesio could exit Lille before the start of the next campaign. In order to remain, there needs to a clarification of the internal workings of the club.

Official: Jules Kounde renews his contract at Barcelona until 2030
As was expected, FC Barcelona have confirmed that key defender Jules Kounde has signed a new contract with the club until 2030. The 26-year-old French international's previous deal still had two years left on it. However, considering his contributions and importance in the team, the Blaugrana have acted swiftly to tie him down to a new deal. Since joining Barcelona in 2022, Kounde has grown in stature within the side with each passing season. The Frenchman has excelled as a right-back in recent seasons, making the position his own. The new deal, running until 2030, is a more than deserved reward for the versatile defender who etched himself in Barcelona folklore with his match-winning goal against Real Madrid in the Copa del Rey final last season. With Kounde's contract signing, Barcelona have now renewed almost every key member of the team, with the likes of Ronald Araujo, Pedri, Gavi, Raphinha, and Lamine Yamal all penning new deals this year. A permanent fixture in Hansi Flick's lineup, Kounde is expected to start in Barcelona's La Liga opener against Mallorca tomorrow and will hope to celebrate his renewal with a solid performance.

Liverpool signs teenage Italian defender Giovanni Leoni
LIVERPOOL, England (AP) — Liverpool's offseason spending passed 300 million pounds ($400 million) after completing the signing of 18-year-old Parma defender Giovanni Leoni on Friday. The Italy Under-19 international was contracted for six years for 26 million pounds plus add-ons. He was to be at Anfield for the Premier League opener against Bournemouth on Friday night. Leoni previously played for Padova and Sampdoria. He joined Parma a year ago and impressed. Liverpool captain Virgil van Dijk and Ibrahima Konate were the established center backs, and Leoni will vie with Joe Gomez to challenge them. 'Because it's one of the best clubs in the world it's not possible to say no to this club,' Leoni told 'I'm so honored. I was very happy (about Liverpool being interested). When I saw this I said, 'Wow, this is crazy.'' Liverpool also remained interested in Crystal Palace center back Marc Guehi, although discussions have stalled over a fee for a player in the final year of his contract. Despite signing eight new players, Liverpool has recouped almost 200 million pounds in sales following the departures of Luis Diaz, Darwin Nunez, Trent Alexander-Arnold, Jarell Quansah, Caoihmhin Kelleher, Tyler Morton and Nat Phillips.
