Ange Postecoglou has been contacted over a potential managerial return with Saudi Pro League side Al Ahli, talkSPORT understands.

Despite only being without a club for just over a week, Postecoglou has already found himself touted for an immediate return.

Al Ahli have held an initial call with the Aussie after placing him on their managerial shortlist in the event of boss Mathias Jaissle leaving.

It is understood that the ex-Spurs manager is not the only candidate for the would-be vacancy, with Xavi also a name considered.

However, the Saudi side's current preference is to hold onto their current manager Jaissle.

The German led the club to an AFC Champions League triumph in May with victory over Kawasaki Frontale in the final.

More of Trent Alexander-Arnold’s first 24 hours as a Real Madrid is being shared, and Liverpool fans may not appreciate some of his latest comments about leaving his boyhood club.

Most of the backlash around the right-back’s exit has been this notion that he sees Real Madrid as a level above the mighty Reds.

Although the clubs might be on a level playing field in terms of their competitiveness on the pitch, it’s clear that Real Madrid is one of the few true absolute giant clubs in the football world and an iconic destination for players across the globe.

Trent has said just that in an interview with Real Madrid’s in-house media, that he strives to compete at the very highest level and he felt he had to leave Liverpool to do that.

The Anfield faithful won’t see it that way, though.

"To bea Real Madrid player is something that most, if not every, player in the world desires to be at some point in their life. 

“For it to be real is still very much a pinch-me moment, it’s hard to get your head around.

“To be here now, around the club and around the city, it’s special.

We are thrilled to bring him to Argyle and look forward to seeing the impact he has on the talented squad at his disposal.”

Paul Pogba is in talks with Monaco over a two-year contract, talkSPORT understands.

He was provisionally suspended on September 11, 2023, after testing positive for elevated levels of testosterone in his system.

Manchester City have not received any formal offers for Jack Grealish, according to the BBC.

talkSPORT sources revealed earlier this week that the England winger has accepted that his City career is over.

Grealish broke the British record transfer fee in 2021 when he left boyhood club Aston Villa for the Etihad for £100million.

The 29-year-old, who has been left out of City's Club World Cup squad, has won seven honours under Pep Guardiola.

Grealish is contracted until 2027, and City are hoping for a fee of at least £50million, making a permanent transfer challenging.

His £300,000-per-week wage is also a stumbling block for suitors.

Cristiano Ronaldo reportedly turned down the opportunity of a Club World Cup showdown with Pep Guardiola and Manchester City.

The Portuguese captain confirmed last week that he would not be featuring in the revamped tournament that starts this weekend.

Ronaldo’s club side, Al-Nassr, did not qualify for the revamped competition, sparking interest in the football icon joining a new team to feature in the US, as his contract with the Saudi Pro League outfit runs out at the end of the month.

Moroccan club Wydad Athletic claim that preliminary contact had taken place regarding the signing of Ronaldo, but a deal was never close.

"Cristiano Ronaldo wouldn't have come for the money because he doesn't need it.

I’m looking forward to working with him again."

The new deal means he is now set to join an exclusive group of players during the upcoming campaign.

Milner will become only the fifth outfield player to feature in the Premier League aged 40 or older.

The 39-year-old turns 40 on January 4, allowing him to join Teddy Sheringham, Ryan Giggs, Kevin Phillips, and Gordon Strachan to have done so.
