Harry Maguire's future at Manchester United appears to be heading toward a positive resolution, with fresh reports suggesting the England international is increasingly close to signing a new deal at Old Trafford. According to the Daily Mail, discussions over an extension are progressing, with optimism growing that the defender will commit his long-term future to the club. Maguire's current contract is due to expire at the end of the season, a situation that had sparked speculation about a possible departure.

Sonia Bompastor has agreed a contract extension as Chelsea's head coach, the Guardian can reveal, as the club issue a strong signal of trust and confidence in the Frenchwoman. Bompastor has been in charge at Chelsea since the summer of 2024, when she succeeded Emma Hayes on a deal to 2028. The 45-year-old completed a domestic season unbeaten during her first year and won a treble, as well as reaching the Women's Champions League semi-finals.

Serge Gnabry has grown at Bayern and is one of the absolute pillars of this team. He's hugely important both on the pitch and in the changing room. He's won it all with this club and still wants more. That makes him a role model. He represents Bayern.

The board of directors of Al-Hilal Club Company, headed by His Highness Prince Nawaf Bin Saad, has signed a contract extension with Portuguese player Rúben Neves for three additional sports seasons until 2029. His Highness signed the contract extension with Rúben this Wednesday afternoon at the club's headquarters in Riyadh. Rúben has delivered outstanding performances with the team, contributing alongside his teammates to Al-Hilal's achievement of five titles: the King's Cup, Roshn Saudi League, two Saudi Super Cups, and Riyadh Season Cup.

Hansi Flick was in attendance and spoke about his future at the club. The Barcelona boss is under contract until 2027 but hinted that he could indeed stay longer at the Camp Nou. "When I see all these images with all these successes, it's crazy, it's impressive. It's a pleasure to work here, we have a fantastic president, staff, players, and fans, and this is a phenomenal moment," he said.

Tottenham Hotspur is seemingly taking on the role of being a club where unwanted Bayern Munich players are given a second chance. João Palhinha and Mathys Tel (in completely different circumstances) ply their trade there, but Spurs want more. In fact, the Lilywhites rang up Serge Gnabry to see if he was up for grabs. Gnabry's camp turned them down:

There are many reasons. The entire club, the environment and everything offered here convinced me to stay for more years. That played a big role, especially the last couple of years, in which I've felt very at home. I've experienced many wonderful moments here, like my first championship, but also difficult times due to injuries, during which the club provided invaluable support. Therefore it quickly became clear to me that I wanted to stay for two more years.

Tyler Herro's play - or lack thereof - may have quietly answered the questions about his future with the Miami Heat for them. At this point, I can't see how the Heat can afford to confidently give him a long-term extension. Heading into the start of the season, one of the bigger questions for the Heat revolved around Herro's future. After passing on an extension before the season, the Heat needed Herro to (with all due respect) prove his worth to them.

James Garner has committed his future to Everton after signing a new four-and-a-half-year contract that will keep him at the club until June 2030. The 24-year-old midfielder has been a near ever-present this season, starting every match in all competitions and contributing three goals and three assists. His previous deal was due to expire this summer, prompting speculation over his future, including reports of interest from former club Manchester United late last year.

Biadasz is a solid player. He's been a dependable presence over the last two seasons, communicating pre-snap and effectively blending run blocking and pass protection. While the former Wisconsin standout isn't a world-beater by any stretch, the Commanders could do a lot worse. At 28, Biadasz has a lot of good football left. Dan Quinn knows him well from their time together on the Dallas Cowboys, and he made the lineman one of his most pressing targets in 2024 free agency.

The Buffalo Sabres are closing in on a seven-year contract extension for Josh Doan that is worth $6.95 million per season, sources told ESPN on Wednesday. The deal includes $7 million in signing bonuses over the first two seasons, sources told ESPN, and it also includes a seven-team no-trade clause when Doan is eligible. Doan, 23, was set to be a restricted free agent this summer.

There was also tension between the Barça board and the player owing to his high salary, which led to leaks of his contract details and attempts at sale. However, things have settled down over the past couple of years, with Deco smoothing things over after taking over as sporting director and Hansi Flick making him a key part of his setup since being appointed as manager.

The Flames have called around to a bunch of teams that were interested, or other teams that maybe they hadn't heard as much from yet, I heard today, and they said we want to decide if we're going to proceed with this so we want everybody's most serious offer. That is happening,
