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

Meghan Markle's 'Baby Mama' Dance Compared to Princess Kate
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. Meghan Markle doing the "Baby Mama" dance was compared by royal fans on TikTok to Princess Kate's regal public appearances. The Duchess of Sussex danced in hospital while heavily pregnant to try to induce Princess Lilibet's birth, while past her due date in 2021. She posted the footage on Instagram last week to mark Lili's fourth birthday and the move triggered a frenzy of both support and criticism. Among the responses, a royal fan posted footage on TikTok comparing Meghan's dance to Princess Kate during a variety of royal events, including the coronation. Meghan Markle does the "Baby Mama" dance while Princess Kate is seen during a carriage procession for Trooping the Colour, London, on June 17, 2023. Meghan Markle does the "Baby Mama" dance while Princess Kate is seen during a carriage procession for Trooping the Colour, London, on June 17, It Matters Meghan's dance sparked strong emotions on both sides with some celebrating the duchess and some criticizing her. One theme among those who opposed the video was that royals should not overshare, like celebrities do. The TikTok video exists within that discourse and was liked 134,000 times and viewed 2.2 million times after being posted with the on screen caption: "Royalty." That caption appears to invite audiences to view Meghan's dance using the conventions of monarchy as a lens. What To Know The post began by showing Meghan doing Starrkeisha's "Baby Mama" dance in the delivery room alongside Prince Harry, who was also dancing. The clip was originally released by Meghan last week to mark Lilibet's birthday on June 4, and she posted it with the message: "Four years ago today, this also happened. Both of our children were a week past their due dates... so when spicy food, all that walking, and acupuncture didn't work—there was only one thing left to do!" The TikTok post then cuts to several clips of Kate, first during Trooping the Colour, in June 2023, and then at King Charles III's coronation, in May 2023, followed by a series of other royal engagements. What People Are Saying One fan pointed out the Princess of Wales famously first caught Prince William's eye during a university cat walk show in which she wore a see through dress over a bikini. "Kate did a catwalk show in her bikini at uni trying to impress William let's not forget that," they wrote. Another reply was liked 17,800 times and read: "Meghan and Harry... happier, real, normal..." Not everyone defended Meghan. One comment read: "I just can't stop laughing. Where is Meghan's advisor. This is just bad. Big difference between celebrity and royalty." Jack Royston is chief royal correspondent for Newsweek, based in London.
