Season already ruined? Ex-pro makes bleak prediction for Gladbach
One person who expects particularly little from the upcoming season of the Gladbachers is former pro and TV expert Didi Hamann. During the media roundtable for the "Sky Sport Bundesliga season opener", he expressed himself particularly critically about Borussia, as reported by 'Der Westen':
"In Gladbach, it's relatively fragile. Also, how they handled the whole Neuhaus issue, I didn't like it. I believe that by the 30th matchday, we'll see at least one team down there that nobody can imagine right now," Hamann replied when asked who he saw as a relegation candidate.

He also doesn't believe in a Gladbach future under Seoane, naming the VfL coach as the second possible trainer candidate who could be on shaky ground in the upcoming season.
Fact is: Seoane should work on getting more stability into the performances of the Foals in the upcoming season. Then he should actually be relatively secure in his position.
What's your opinion on Seoane & Gladbach? Is Didi Hamann right with his judgment?

Liverpool ENTER midfielder transfer talks
Liverpool have entered talks over a potential £15m transfer. As much as Richard Hughes will be honing on on new arrivals at the moment with the focus very much on Alexander Isak, and bringing in a new centre-back, there are still going to be some departures at the club as well. 🔴 Shop the LFC 2025/26 adidas home range from 9am TODAY Shop the LFC Store 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! There remains question marks over the future of Harvey Elliott, Federico Chiesa and Kostas Tsimikas. Meanwhile, at this point who knows what fate Darwin Nunez holds. These transfer deals are going to be crucial for Liverpool in order to balance the books. The Reds have spent a lot of money this summer but they also stand to recoup the vast majority of what they have spent through sales. Elliott in particular is going to command a significant fee. Meanwhile, Nunez, if Liverpool can find the right suitor, won't be leaving on the cheap either. And the Reds have also entered talks to complete a deal that would count as 'pure profit' when it comes to the Premier League's Profit and Sustainability Rules (PSR). 🔴 Shop the LFC 2025/26 adidas away range from 9am TODAY According to Sky Sports News, Liverpool are in talks with Lyon to sell Tyler Morton for what is expected to be a £15m transfer. Morton is an academy graduate, which means Liverpool could count the entire sale as a profit, considering he has been at the club from a young age. The 22-year-old has been on several loan spells over the course of his career and of course caught the eye in the Reds' first team as well. His best performance came against AC Milan in the Champions League at the San Siro in a game where Morton really emerged as a top-prospect. Since then, he has always stood-out for his excellent technical ability and his reading of the game. The only obstacle in his way in terms of making more regular first team minutes has been the level of players ahead of him in the pecking order. Right now Morton will know he is not guaranteed regular playing time but at his age he needs to be playing week in, week out in order to develop. Another loan to the Championship is probably not the right move for him either, having been at Blackburn Rovers and Hull City. This move to Lyon could be an excellent one. He'd be playing in a top five European league, at one of the best teams in that league. On top of that, Morton will be able to play in Europe as well, with Lyon having qualified for the Europa League. Another interesting caveat in these talks is that Liverpool are known for their admiration of Malick Fofana. So, perhaps letting Morton go to Lyon could open up a level of communication between the two sides that may ultimately see the French team return the favour for Fofana. It's definitely something to keep an eye on.

Fabrizio Romano confirms Liverpool in discussions about new forward
Liverpool are busy trying to add Alexander Isak to their already star-studded squad. It's been a transfer window like no other for the Reds - with £260m-worth of talent already brought in. Florian Wirtz, Hugo Ekitike, Milos Kerkez, Jeremie Frimpong and Giorgi Mamardashvili have all arrived at Anfield. And Isak would top the lot - ANOTHER British record signing following the potential £116m acquisition of Wirtz from Bayer Leverkusen. 🚨2025/26 LFC x adidas range🚨 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! We've also seen the club conduct plenty of outgoing business. Luis Diaz, Jarell Quansah, Caoimhin Kelleher, Trent Alexander-Arnold and Nat Phillips have all departed. More exits are expected - with Darwin Nunez, Harvey Elliott, Tyler Morton, Federico Chiesa and Ben Doak among those listed for sale. How will Liverpool replace Diaz? The loss of Diaz has fuelled speculation that Richard Hughes could move in the market for a like-for-like replacement. Cody Gakpo is a capable left-wing performer - while others such as Rio Ngumoha, Wirtz and Ekitike can also take on responsibility in that sector. But having banked £65m for Diaz, Liverpool may well be active for a left winger. To that extent the club have been seriously linked with Malick Fofana from Lyon. Fofana is Lyon's prize asset The French Ligue 1 side are facing some severe financial headwinds and require sales this summer. Fofana is regarded as their most bankable asset - worth around €50m to €60m - and has attracted plenty of attention in the Premier League. Everton have been suggested as strong suitors but if Liverpool come calling then surely the Belgian will be attracted to Anfield instead. © IMAGO - Malick Fofana Liverpol

Borussia Dortmund and Porto looking to poach Barcelona youngster on preseason tour
Barcelona have taken six youngsters from Barca Atletic or their under-19 side on their preseason tour, as Hansi Flick looks to channel more talent in the pipeline to the senior squad. However with competition for places at the club increasingly fierce, the ability to add young talent to his squad is increasingly limited. The promise of those opportunities is key to ensuring some of the game's most promising talents stick around – at least that is the case for Guille Fernandez. The 17-year-old creative midfielder is highly regarded at La Masia, but Sport say that he is not guaranteed to remain at the club this summer. Barcelona are priority for Guille Fernandez Fernandez is keen to continue at the club, but wants to ensure that he has the necessary room to grow. Given 15 minutes of action against FC Seoul, alongside cousin Toni Fernandez, he will sit down with agent Jorge Mendes to assess his situation, and his potential route forward, before making a decision on his future. That will involve sitting down with the club to hear out their plans for him. If there is no clear plan to give him chances, then Fernandez and Mendes will seek an exit either on loan or on a permanent deal. Image via Sport. European giants looking into Fernandez future Mendes already has a number of concrete proposals on the table for Fernandez, and interest from some Europe's biggest clubs. Neither of Porto or Borussia Dortmund have made an offer, but both are interested, and have strong histories of developing emerging talent before players make the jump to the very top of the game. Manchester City have also been linked with Fernandez in the past, as have Dortmund's biggest rivals Bayern Munich. The Spain under-19 international is under contract until 2027, but only penned that deal on the promise of a clear progression to the first-team, which with an array of options in central midfield already, looks a tough ask of Flick and Director of Football Deco.
