Manchester City are in talks with Josko Gvardiol about a new long-term contract - despite the defender still recovering from a fractured tibia.

After tying Phil Foden down to a new deal this week, City are hoping to do the same with the Croatia centre-back even though he has been sidelined since January and had surgery. 

Gvardiol had been instrumental in City's team up until suffering that devastating injury against Chelsea, and such is his regard in the club they want to extend his deal beyond the current 2028 expiry and improve his salary. 

Since joining from RB Leipzig in 2023, the 24-year-old has made 120 appearances in all competitions, scoring 13 goals and setting up 10 more, while showing the versatility to play at both centre-back and left-back; known for his marauding runs forward on the left.

Atletico Madrid are still interested in Matt ORiley at Brighton.

Atletico boss Diego Simeone has retained his admiration for the midfielder since making a 20m bid to sign him in January 2024 while he was at Celtic.

Atletico are looking for more depth in midfield ahead of next season and - along with several other top Spanish clubs - see ORiley as an attractive addition to the squad. 

Clubs in Serie A are also thought to be thinking along similar lines about O'Riley as they plan for next season with squads competing in European competition.

O'Riley has Champions League pedigree, having impressed in the competition while on loan at Marseille earlier this season and during his time at Celtic. 

However, he has been used sparingly by Brighton boss Fabian Hurzeler since the club paid more than 25m to sign him from then Scottish Champions Celtic in the summer of 2024. 

The 25-year-old was an unused substitute in the away defeat to Newcastle at the weekend and has appeared in just six of the 14 Premier League games since his January recall.

Brighton head coach Fabian Hurzeler has signed a new three-year contract.

The 33-year-old's previous Seagulls deal was due to expire in the summer of 2027, but he has now committed his future to Brighton until the summer of 2029.

Hurzeler's new deal comes amid a growing list of admirers both domestically and in Germany. It is understood he was being closely watched by Bundesliga sides, with Bayer Leverkusen very interested in him.

Aston Villa are one of several Premier League clubs interested in doing a deal for Fulham forward Harry Wilson.

The forward is out of contract this summer and whilst Fulham want to extend his contract, Wilson is keen to explore his options, especially because of the uncertainty over the future of manager Marco Silva.

A host of teams in Europe are interested in talking to Wilson, but Your Site News has been told those options are unlikely to be able to match the financial package on offer in the Premier League.

As things stand, it looks like the 29-year-old is destined to stay in England.

Roberto De Zerbi says he wants Joao Palhinha to stay at Tottenham. 

The midfielder is currently on loan from Bayern Munich and shone in Spurs' crucial victory at Aston Villa last weekend. 

Asked if he wanted Palhinha to stay beyond this season, De Zerbi said on Friday: "One hundred per cent. 

"We have to start from these types of people. More than players, we need reliable people, reliable players. 

"Palhinha is one of the best, as a player for sure, but as a guy. I want to see the players with the same passion, spirit, personality and we are lucky to have Palhinha with us."
