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

Boateng mulls keeping his kids away from stadiums due to racism
Then Germany's footballer Jerome Boateng, stands at the regional court in Munich. Former Germany defender Jerome Boateng is considering not letting his children go to watch him play in stadiums in Austria after receiving racist abuse. Sven Hoppe/dpa Former Germany defender Jérôme Boateng is considering not letting his children go to watch him play in stadiums in Austria after receiving racist abuse. The 36-year-old joined LASK last year but accused his own fans of racist abuse towards him in the 1-0 loss at Grazer AK earlier this month. Advertisement "I've experienced it across my career - even in my youth. It was towards me recently, but it has also been against my team-mates with a different skin colour. It's not acceptable in any way," 2014 World Cup winner Boateng told Sport1 on Wednesday. "Racism has no place at all. You have to talk about it and not look away. Insults are one thing, but racist abuse is another level. There are children in the stadium - including mine. I have to think about whether I still let my children into the stadium."

New Germany call-up Bisseck almost became a doctor instead
New Germany call-up Yann Aurel Bisseck almost quit football to train as a doctor, but now he hopes to be the perfect medicine for their Nations League quarter-final. The 24-year-old Inter Milan defender has had a circuitous route to the Germany squad having not played in the Bundesliga since 2018. He went to the lower leagues and then the Netherlands, Portugal and Denmark before ending up in Italy. While at Portuguese club Vitoria Guimarães, he almost packed in football during an injury lay-off. "When I think that I almost stopped playing football during my time in Portugal in order to study medicine, I am now extremely happy about how everything went and that I never gave up on my dream," Bisseck told Sport1 late on Thursday. The defender was included in the Germany squad for the first time by coach Julian Nagelsmann on Thursday for the Nations League quarter-final two legs against Italy later this month. The first game is in Dortmund next Thursday, with the return in Milan a week on Sunday. The news of his nomination was a "huge honour," he said. "The fact that I'm now involved in the matches against Italy of all teams and that a game is taking place in my living room at the San Siro in Milan makes the whole thing even more special," added Bisseck. "It's almost unimaginable." Germany's record appearance maker Lothar Matthäus is convinced of Bisseck's qualities. His nomination is "fully deserved," the pundit wrote in a column for Sky. The Cologne native is one of the best centre-backs in the Italian league, added the 63-year-old former Inter player. "Bisseck is young and dynamic. At Inter Milan, you have to have something extraordinary to even play in their defence."
