Saudi clubs take interest in Borussia Mönchengladbach pariah Tomas Cvancara
Czech striker Tomas Cvancara's very public rift with his Bundesliga side Borussia Mönchengladbach almost certainly heralds a departure this summer. Germany's Niederrheiner have little to-no-interest in retaining him, even amid news that starting striker Tim Kleindienst might miss the beginning of the season. Two reliable German sources – RTL/ntv and Sport1 – report that there's interest from the Arabian Peninsula. An unnamed Saudi Pro League side could help Gladbach recoup some of the €10.5m they once paid for their intended replacement for Marcus Thuram. Advertisement Having scored just six goals in 49 Bundesliga appearances over the last two seasons, Cvancara's estimated market value has plummeted from €12m to €4m. Gladbach have other options in mind for the attacking corps and will hope to shed themselves of their team pariah quickly. Sport1 does note that Cvancara himself still considers himself worthy of one of Europe's top five leagues. Whether or not a Serie A, Ligue 1, the Premier League, or La Liga suitor can be found nevertheless remains to be seen. GGFN | Peter Weis

Germany will stop reporting arms deliveries to Ukraine, Merz says
KYIV (Reuters) - The German government will stop publishing details of military aid to Ukraine, Chancellor Friedrich Merz said on Saturday during a visit to Kyiv. Sources with knowledge of the matter had earlier told Reuters that public information about the delivery of weapons systems to Ukraine was to be reduced to achieve "strategic ambiguity" and prevent Russia gaining any strategic advantages. "Under my leadership, the debate about arms deliveries, caliber, weapons systems and so on will be taken out of the public eye," Merz told RTL/ntv broadcasters in Kyiv. Following Russia's full-scale invasion of Ukraine in February 2022, Germany's government initially reported sporadically on military aid to Kyiv. Under pressure from parliamentarians and media, it later started publishing an updated list of systems and goods supplied. Merz, who took office on Tuesday, said Germany's commitment to supporting Ukraine in the fight against Russia's invasion would not change. "Germany will continue to expand its financial support. I am counting on you (...) to do the same with us," Merz said, addressing other European leaders at a meeting in Kyiv.
