While the 2024/25 season has just ended for 16 out of 18 second division teams, two teams still have to play in the promotion or relegation playoffs. SV Elversberg won 2-1 at Schalke, securing third place. Now, they will face Heidenheim in a two-legged tie for a chance to be promoted to the Bundesliga. Meanwhile, Eintracht Braunschweig is still far from Germany's football top tier. The team from Lower Saxony lost 1-4 to Nürnberg and finished in 16th place. They will now face third-division side Saarbrücken in two matches to fight for their place in the 2. Bundesliga.

Wolfsburg join race for Maxi Oyedele
Kicker reports that former Manchester United midfield prospect Maxi Oyedele is in VfL Wolfsburg's sights. More than one Bundesliga club takes interest in the 20-year-old. Werder Bremen were also linked with a move for the Salford-native yesterday. Oyedele remains available via a €6m release clause in his current Legia Warsaw contract. Wolfsburg naturally have deeper pockets than the likes of Bremen, but have their own matters to sort out first. Germany's northern Autostädter still seek a new head coach ahead of next season. Moreover, Germany's green company team happen to be well-stocked in midfield. Advertisement Oyedele may be reluctant to move to Wolfsburg merely to warm the bench behind the likes of Maximilian Arnold, Yannick Gerhardt, Aster Vranckx, Mattias Svanberg, and Bence Dardai. Vranckx and Gerhardt are linked with departures, but Oyedele may wish to see a path cleared first. Wolfsburg management may also wish to focus on compensating for other expected losses first. German striker Lukas Nmecha and Polish winger Jakub Kaminski are expected to sign with new clubs soon. GGFN | Peter Weis

Trent Alexander-Arnold's Real Madrid presentation planned as Club World Cup plan emerges
Former Liverpool star Trent Alexander-Arnold is likely to be presented as a Real Madrid player on Wednesday, with the right-back scheduled to fly to Spain following England's friendly against Senegal on Tuesday. Advertisement Xabi Alonso and his Madrid players are due to fly to the United States on Saturday ahead of the Club World Cup starting next week, which leaves a very small window for Alexander-Arnold's unveiling. The Alonso era at Madrid started on Monday, June 9, as he took his first training session since agreeing to replace Carlo Ancelotti as Los Blancos boss. Alexander-Arnold, of course, was not present as he is still on England duty, but he will be in the Spanish capital later this week ahead of the flight to the US. READ MORE: Liverpool transfer news LIVE: Florian Wirtz medical, Milos Kerkez talks, Darwin Nunez future READ MORE: How Liverpool should spend $171M if Florian Wirtz transfer collapses Advertisement Dean Huijsen, another Madrid signing from the Premier League, is expected to be presented at the Bernabeu on Tuesday having finished up on international duty with the conclusion of the Nations League on Sunday. Alexander-Arnold's move from Liverpool to Madrid was confirmed at the end of May, with the Spanish club paying the Reds an $11 million transfer fee — despite the player's Liverpool contract being due to expire just a few weeks later. That's because Madrid wanted Alexander-Arnold to be part of Xabi Alonso's squad for the start of the Club World Cup. Madrid could have waited until July 1 to sign Alexander-Arnold on a free transfer, and he would have been eligible to play in Los Blancos' remaining games in the tournament, but the Spanish giant was keen for the player to have a period of integration in the weeks building up to the revamped event. Advertisement Meanwhile, Alexander-Arnold has been told that he remains behind Kyle Walker in England's right-back pecking order by a Three Lions legend. Ahead of England's win over Andorra on Saturday, in which Curtis Jones was selected ahead of both players, Chris Waddle said: "It's hard to name a better English right-back [than Walker]. Trent Alexander-Arnold can be exceptional but he's not outstanding as a true defender. "He's got his talents, there's no denying it, with exceptional passing and dead-ball delivery, but if it's him or Walker, we're not blessed in that position for a young right-back who does what you expect. I think Kyle is the pick of the two right now, his all-round game puts him ahead of the rest."
