Gareth Southgate is leaning towards prolonging his time with England despite interest from Manchester United.
Gareth Southgate is reportedly considering extending his tenure as England boss until the 2026 World Cup. The Sun reports that while there were rumors of Southgate potentially replacing Erik ten Hag at Manchester United, he will not overstay his welcome if there is no desire for him to remain in charge of the Three Lions. However, if the opportunity to take over at Old Trafford arises, the situation could change. Southgate has decided to focus on his future after Euro 2024, and the outcome of that tournament is likely to influence his decision. If England has a successful summer, it is understood that Southgate will be inclined to lead the team through to the World Cup in the USA, Mexico, and Canada.
Fulham defender Tosin Adarabioyo has attracted interest from Liverpool, Tottenham, and AC Milan, according to the Standard. Fulham is eager to secure the centre-back’s future by offering him a new contract. Adarabioyo has been in outstanding form since returning from injury in November, but his current deal expires at the end of the season, leaving his future uncertain. Liverpool, Tottenham, and AC Milan are among the clubs considering a move for the 26-year-old. Tottenham signed Radu Dragusin in January, but manager Ange Postecoglou recently admitted that they are looking to add another centre-back in the summer, with Adarabioyo being a target last year. Liverpool, on the other hand, are preparing for life after Jurgen Klopp, as Joel Matip’s contract expires in the summer and he has been sidelined with a serious knee injury this season. Manchester United and Chelsea are also contemplating signing a centre-back. Adarabioyo is focused on his football until the summer, giving Fulham an opportunity to secure his services with contract talks already underway.
AC Milan striker Olivier Giroud is reportedly in “advanced talks” with Los Angeles FC, according to The Sun. The 37-year-old has had a successful season with Milan, scoring 12 goals and providing eight assists in just 26 appearances. However, his contract is set to expire in the summer. Giroud, who joined Milan in 2021, is said to be discussing a potential move to Los Angeles FC once his current deal expires. Talks between the two parties are advanced, although no agreement is imminent at this stage, despite ongoing negotiations.
