Manchester City are considering a two-year offer to Sergio Ramos.

Ramos' contract at the Bernabeu expires on June 30 and his priority is still to renew with Madrid, but he will move on if an agreement with president Florentino Perez cannot be reached.

City could also structure the deal to allow Ramos to a play a third season for New York City FC of the MLS.

Pep Guardiola believes a footballer with Ramos' qualities would increase the competitiveness and experience of the squad in such high-profile matches.

Zinedine Zidane criticized Real Madrid and Florentino Perez in an open letter days after stepping down as manager.

"I'm leaving, but I'm not abandoning ship and I'm not tired of coaching," Zidane said. "In May 2018 I left because after two-and-a-half years, with so many victories and so many trophies, I felt that the team needed something new to stay on top. Today things are different. I'm leaving because I feel the club is no longer giving me the trust I need, it isn't offering me the support to build something medium-to-long-term.

"I know the demands at a club like Madrid, I know that when you don't win you have to go. But a very important thing has been forgotten here ... I'm a born winner and I was here to win trophies, but beyond that are human beings, emotions, life, and I have the feeling that these things haven't been valued."

Zidane won three consecutive Champions League titles from 2016 to 2018, resigned, and then returned 10 months later.

Barcelona have agreed to a two-year deal with Sergio Aguero on a free transfer.

Aguero spent 10 seasons with Manchester City.

Barcelona have been searching for a new No. 9 since letting Luis Suarez leave for Atletico Madrid last year.

Barcelona could also add another attacker and have been linked to Memphis Depay. 

CONMEBOL pulled this summer's Copa America from Argentina due to an increase of COVID-19 cases in the country.

Colombia was previously dropped as a co-host because of protests against President Ivan Duque.

The tournament is scheduled for June 13 through July 10.

CONMEBOL added that a new host would be announced "soon."

Kevin De Bruyne suffered a fractured nose and an orbital fracture to his eye socket during the Champions League Final.

De Bruyne, who collided with Antonio Rudiger in the match, is questionable for the European Championship.

De Bruyne could return for Belgium wearing a protective mask. 

Belgium manager Roberto Martinez criticized Rudiger for the challenge.

“For me, it was excessive force and it was reckless. And it should have been a red card. Kevin is not a player that goes down for no reason. You can see the pain and it’s a swollen eye," said Martinez.  

Thomas Tuchel said he was close to extending his contract after Chelsea beat Manchester City 1-0 in the Champions League Final.

“I am not even 100% sure maybe I have already a new contract now,” Tuchel said. “My manager said something about it. Let’s check this first. I spoke to the owner right now on the pitch. It was the best moment for the first meeting. It can only get worse! We will speak tomorrow. We will speak later. I will stay hungry for the next title. My desire is for more victories ands to grow as a coach."

Tuchel originally signed an 18-month contract in January.

Tuchel added that he was surprised by Pep Guardiola excluding Fernandinho from City's starting lineup.

“We expected Fernandinho in the lineup to start,” he said. “He chose a very offensive lineup. A very, very technical lineup. It was hard to steal the balls. Everything else we more or less expected. We were sure we needed to play with a strong bond and a genuine belief. It was a tough match.”

Pep Guardiola said that Manchester City struggled with long balls and second balls during their 1-0 loss to Chelsea in the Champions League Final.

"It was a tight game and we had some chances, but against the defensive structure of Chelsea it is not easy," Guardiola said after the match.

"We struggled with long balls and second balls. In that moment you need the inspiration and quality, there were three or four moments that were close but didn't arrive.

Guardiola has not won a Champions League Final since 2011.

The City manager remained proud of his side's accomplishments this season.

"It was a tough season in the pandemic, but we learn from this for the future. I have incredible respect for the players, they gave everything, but we will come back stronger. I want to congratulate them for their exceptional season."

Brentford earned a promotion to the Premier League for the first time in club history following their 2-0 win over Swansea City.

Brentford, who lost to Fulham in the playoffs last season, will earn around $240 million due to the promotion.

"We were the better side even when they had 11 men and they didn't create any chances. We fully deserved it. I'm in the Premier League with the best bunch of boys," said Ivan Toney, who scored a goal.

The club are owned by Matthew Benham, a former professional gambler known for using statistics to rebuild the side.

Toney is an example of the "Moneyball" strategy, arriving from Peterborough for $7 million to replace Ollie Watkins, whom Aston Villa bought for $46 million. 

Manchester United will have a net spend of up to £150 million ($213 million) this summer. United would like to strengthen five areas of the club with striker, winger, defensive midfielder, centre-back and right-back on the list.

United will likely aim to sign three first team players.

Jadon Sancho, Harry Kane, Jack Grealish, Pau Torres, Sven Botman, Raphael Varane, Declan Rice and Max Aarons are among the names being chased for the other positions.

A deal for Sancho is viewed as more achievable than it was last summer due to Borussia Dortmund lowering their demands.

Tottenham Hotspur have held talks with Mauricio Pochettino for him to return as manager 18 months after he was fired.

Pocehttino was hired as manager of Paris Saint-Germain in January. 

Pochettino has one year remaining on his contract with PSG and there is a sense he is not happy with the club. Although Pochettino won the Coupe de France, his star-studded team finished second in Ligue 1 to Lille and lost their Champions League semi-final to Manchester City.

Spurs fired Jose Mourinho in April.

Pocehttino is also being targeted by Real Madrid.
