Bristol in Pictures: Painting the town red
Bristol City secured their place in the play-offs and a shot at the Premier League, and the Bristol Folk Festival began.
Rovers and City legends took each other on for charity at the Mem, and morris dancers welcomed in the start of May.
There was also a sneak preview of the next Gromit Unleashed trail, an award win for a cutting-edge Bristol company, and a special procession through the city on Saturday morning.
Sneak preview: With two months to go until the next Gromit Unleashed sculpture trail returns to the city, organisers the Grand Appeal and Aardman have released pictures of how the artists, including Paula Bowles (above), are getting on with their unique creations.
All smiles: The Bristol Folk Festival began on Friday at St Georges, with Talisk (above) among the performers. The event continues on Sunday with performances beginning at 13:00 BST at both the Folk House and St Georges.
Painting the town green: You may have seen Bristol's Jack in the Green heading from the Harbourside up to Horfield on Saturday. The event welcomes the summer each year, keeping alive a tradition that would have been commonplace across England a couple of centuries ago.
Legends return: Past heroes from Bristol Rovers and Bristol were pitted against each other on a warm evening at the Mem this week in aid of charity Talk Club, which helps men with their mental health. Rovers took the win on a night organised by the Bristol Rovers Community Trust, Bristol City Robins Foundation and Talk Club itself.
May day: Morris dancers welcomed in May as dawn crept across Bristol on Thursday, keeping their traditions alive.
Revving up: Fowlers Motorcycles held the first of this summer's bike nights on Friday, bringing together enthusiasts of all things on two wheels. The events will continue on the first Friday of each month.
Packed out: More than 700 people visited the popular St Werburgh's City Farm as it held its Spring Fair last weekend.
Come on down: Whitehall Rugby Club hosted an all-women day at the weekend to help it develop more all-female sides at its base in the east of the city.
Winners: Dynisma, based just outside Bristol, won Technology Company of the Year at the 2025 British Business Awards. Founded by former Formula One engineer, Ash Warne, Dynisma makes high-performance driving simulators for motorsport teams.
Painting the town red: Year Six pupils Headley Park Primary School showed their support for Bristol City when players Zak Vyner, Joe Williams and Elijah Morrison dropped in as part of a Robins Foundation event this week.
Cutting edge: The dBs Institute of Sound & Digital Technologies held a new showcase at the Loco Club at Temple Meads on Thursday, featuring cutting-edge sound art created by third year students at its Bristol campus.
Brains of Bristol: Staff from 11 Bristol hotels took part in a quiz organised by the Bristol Hoteliers Association (BHA), raising £1,250 for the Brain Tumour Support Charity.

Liverpool star willing to join Barcelona as talks open
Liverpool kicked off their Premier League title defence with a 4-2 win at home against Bournemouth on Friday night. Goals from Hugo Ekitike - on debut - as well as Cody Gakpo, Federico Chiesa and Mohamed Salah ensured victory for Arne Slot's Reds. 🚨2025/26 LFC x adidas range🚨 LFC x adidas Shop the away range TODAY LFC x adidas Shop the home range today! LFC x adidas Shop the goalkeeper range today LFC x adidas Shop the new adidas range today! Nonetheless the Anfield side were made to endure some difficult moments defensively - with the Cherries pulling two goals back from 2-0 down. Antoine Semenyo was the beneficiary of some questionable defending on the part of the Reds - with Virgil van Dijk and Ibrahima Konate both coming under scrutiny for their part in the goals. Liverpool in tricky position over Konate It has been revealed that Van Dijk was suffering the effects of a virus in recent days while Konate may well be distracted by talk over his future. Despite kicking off the season as first choice in Slot's backline, the 26-year-old may not be at the club by the time the transfer window closes. His current contract expires in 2026 and if no agreement is reached over a new deal then he could well be sold. With the France international effectively running down his deal, Liverpool are in a tricky position. Konate willing to move to Barca They have signed 18-year-old Giovanni Leoni as cover with Jarell Quansah having joined Bayer Leverkusen. But there could well be more movement in the centre-back area with Sempre Barca now claiming that Barcelona have opened talks with Konate's entourage over a move to Camp Nou. It had earlier been reckoned that Konate would leave for Real Madrid if he were to leave Anfield this summer but the process looks to have been stepped up with Barca in recent days. The source is claiming negotiations are underway between the Spanish champions and the defender - who is said to be open to the prospect of moving to Catalonia. © IMAGO - Ibrahima Konate Liverpool Barca actively chasing Konate 'Deco remains in contact with the player's camp, and the club is actively pursuing this operation,' the report reads - adding that Liverpool would seek €50m in the event that Konate is sold this summer. Barca have lost Inigo Martinez to Al-Nassr - opening up a space in the centre of defence which they would like Konate to fill. Nonetheless talks with Liverpool are described as Konate's priority at this stage - with the player keen to learn what Richard Hughes is willing to give him to stay. Konate has rejected all of Liverpool's previous attempts to secure him to a new deal and the Premier League champion would like around £200k per week to renew. It appears that Konate is therefore keeping his options open and learn about interest at other clubs - putting Liverpool under pressure to wrap up a deal.

PSG Face €10M Hurdle Selling Outcast Linked Newcastle, Tottenham to Juventus
Randal Kolo Muani's future remains uncertain, but one thing is clear: he won't be staying at PSG. Last season, he shined on loan at Juventus, generating 10 goal contributions in 19 appearances across all competitions. With the transfer window open and no agreement yet between Juventus and PSG, his next move is still up in the air, and several Premier League clubs are closely watching. This month, transfer expert Fabrizio Romano said Juventus remain confident they will finalize the Kolo Muani deal this month. He added that the French forward has only been in talks with Juventus this week, and there has been no progress with Newcastle United or Tottenham so far. Will Juventus finally land PSG outcast?According to the Italian media outlet Quotidiano Sportivo (h/t Le10Sport), the loan would not be free and would require an immediate payment of €10 million. It is precisely this amount that is causing issues between the two clubs, as there is a €10 million gap. It remains to be seen whether Juventus will be willing to meet the figures requested by PSG. La Gazzetta dello Sport recently reported that Juventus and PSG are close to finalizing a deal for Kolo-Muani. The agreement is expected to be a loan with an option to buy for €10 million plus €35 million, which could become an obligation if certain sporting conditions are met. However, Juventus still faces a significant challenge—they need to complete a few player departures before the transfer can go through. Plus, with other clubs interested, the Serie A side will have to act quickly to secure the move.
