Yussuf Poulsen's salary a stumbling block for Hamburg
Danish attacker Yussuf Poulsen appears to be nearing the exit door at RB Leipzig. According to a report by , the Saxony club want as little as €2m for the 31-year-old, with Bundesliga returnees Hamburg showing significant interest in signing the player. A potential stumbling block for Hamburg would be Poulsen's salary. The striker currently earns around €7m per year at Leipzig, including bonuses, with one year remaining on his current deal but, per Bild, HSV would only be able to offer a maximum of €1.8m, a significant decrease as they search for a successor to Davie Selke who left the club upon the expiry of his contract. Hamburg's interest in Poulsen – who would be open to leaving RB Leipzig – has been well documented, and the player would come with significant top flight experience. The Dane scored five goals across 29 games in all competitions for RB Leipzig last season. GGFN | Daniel Pinder

(Jan Woitas/dpa/dpa via AP) BERLIN — Germany deported dozens of Afghan nationals to their homeland on Friday, the second time it has done so since the Taliban returned to power and the first since a new government pledging a tougher line on migration took office in Berlin. The Interior Ministry said a flight took off Friday morning carrying 81 Afghans, all of them men who had previously come to judicial authorities' attention. It said in a statement that the deportation was carried out with the help of Qatar, and said the government aims to deport more people to Afghanistan in the future. More than 10 months ago, Germany's previous government deported Afghan nationals to their homeland for the first time since the Taliban returned to power in 2021. Then-Chancellor Olaf Scholz vowed to step up deportations of asylum-seekers. New Chancellor Friedrich Merz made tougher migration policy a central plank of his campaign for Germany's election in February. Just after he took office in early May, the government stationed more police at the border and said some asylum-seekers trying to enter Europe's biggest economy would be turned away. It also has suspended family reunions for many migrants. The flight took off hours before German Interior Minister Alexander Dobrindt plans to meet his counterparts from five neighboring countries — France, Poland, Austria, Denmark and the Czech Republic — as well as the European Union's commissioner responsible for migration, Magnus Brunner. Dobrindt is hosting the meeting to discuss migration on the Zugspitze, Germany's highest peak, on the Austrian border. The Associated Press
