Transfers

Metz have released Brazilian defender Jemerson.

Anderson Julio has joined MLS side Real Salt Lake from Mexican Liga MX club San Luis.

Cardiff City manager Steve Morison has claimed he has already agreed some transfer deals ahead of the summer transfer window, saying: "We are really close and we have done a few already, so there will be people coming in."

Injury Round Up

Hartlepool United midfielder Mark Shelton has bizarrely been ruled out with an ear injury. The 25-year-old had a cotton bud stuck in his ear which left him dizzy and unable to stand up.

Managerial Changes

Interim Manchester United manager Ralf Rangnick is to take charge of the Austrian national team for next season. He will also be continuing to work for the Red Devils in a consultancy role.

Antonio Conte has dismissed links to the manager's job at Paris Saint-Germain as "fake news". The Italian is currently head coach of Tottenham Hotspur, which former Spurs boss Mauricio Pochettino is in charge at PSG, but the media has been suggesting the pair could swap places in the summer.

Disciplinary Charges

West Ham United have said that "two offenders have been identified" following the alleged attack on two German commentators at the London Stadium on Thursday. The commentators were there for German radio station ARD covering the Hammers defeat to Eintracht Frankfurt in the Europa League semi-final.

Manchester United and England forward Mason Greenwood's bail on allegations of rape, assault and making threats to kill has been extended until June.

Cardiff City have condemned one of their fans for posting up a video on social media which racially abused Swansea City forward Michael Obafemi and passed on evidence to South Wales Police. A Cardiff statement read: "Cardiff City have spoken at length with Kick It Out on the matter, have passed evidence on to South Wales Police and will fully support their investigations."

Late Bid

Britain's richest man the billionaire Jim Ratcliffe has made a very late bid to buy Chelsea. The initial deadline for bids was set as 18th April but Ratcliffe's company Ineos have stepped in with a late £4.25bn offer which includes £1.75bn pledged to invest into the club over the next 10 years. An Ineos statement read: "This is a British bid, for a British club. We will invest in Stamford Bridge to make it a world-class stadium, befitting of Chelsea FC. This will be organic and ongoing so that we will not move away from the home of Chelsea and risk losing the support of loyal fans. We will continue to invest in the team to ensure we have a first-class squad of the world's greatest players, coaches and support staff, in the men's and women's games. And we hope to continue to invest in the academy to provide opportunity for talented youngsters to develop into first-class players."
