They have made an offer but are still waiting to hear the outcome from the German club.

Putellas to leave Barcelona for London City Lionesses

Barcelona have confirmed captain Alexia Putellas is leaving the club. 

The Spain international is set to join London City Lionesses during the summer transfer window. 

Rangers complete Shankland deal from Hearts

Rangers have signed striker Lawrence Shankland from Hearts.

He has put pen to paper on a two-year deal, with the option of a further 12 months.

Shankland will be with the Scotland team for the World Cup and then return to join up with Danny Rohls squad.

His Hearts exit comes just 12 months on from signing a three-year deal at Tynecastle Park. 

While the clubs have outlined this move is for an undisclosed fee, it is understood Rangers have taken advantage of a clause in that contract to land him this summer and the move will go through when the transfer window opens on June 15.

Shankland scored 88 goals in 171 games for Hearts, including 16 in the league last season as they just missed out on a historic Scottish Premiership title on the final day of the season to Celtic.

Man City continuing Maresca talks

Latest from Your Site News' Lyall Thomas:

Manchester City are continuing talks with Enzo Maresca this week about succeeding Pep Guardiola. 

Contrary to reports, all the points of a proposed three-year contract are not yet fully agreed. 

However, a contract is expected to be finalised in the coming days, as discussions centre around the timeline of his appointment, the make-up of his backroom staff, and other finer details. 

City have announced today that two more of Guardiola's assistants - Pep Ljinders and Kolo Toure - are leaving the Etihad. 

Maresca, who left Chelsea in acrimonious circumstances in January, still had three-and-a-half years left on hi contract there - and club lawyers will be taking a keen interest in his next move, as compensation may well be due.

Chelsea were informed by Maresca last autumn that he had been the subject of interest from City about eventually replacing Guardiola when he decided to leave, having worked under him as assistant coach during the 2022/23 season.

"As I said before, I wouldn't be where I am today without everything the club has done for me.

Inverness announce Shinnie return

Its a full-circle moment for me, Shinnie told the club's website.
