Chelsea manager Mauricio Pochettino has revealed holding talks with home-grown midfielder Conor Gallagher about his future at Stamford Bridge amid a potential exit . 90min reported last week that Chelsea are prepared to listen to offers for Gallagher due to a club policy regarding players in the final 18 months of their contract, a similar situation to the one that saw the Blues sell Mason Mount to Manchester United during the summer. Gallagher has started 19 of Chelsea's 20 Premier League Game s so far this season and has also regularly captained the side in the various absences of Reece James. Pochettino is a fan and wants to keep the 23-year-old, but talks to extend his contract beyond 2025 have not progressed. "I think he's doing a fantastic job, he's working well, he's helping the club and [the coaching staff] and his teammates a lot," Pochettino said this week when asked about Gallagher's situation.

Manchester United and Borussia Dortmund are in talks over a loan deal for Jadon Sancho. The 23-year-old has been frozen out at Old Trafford since September after refusing to apologise to manager Erik ten Hag - the winger having publicly stated that he'd been made a "scapegoat" by the Dutchman after being left out of the squad to face Arsenal. 90min revealed in October that Sancho was hopeful of returning to Dortmund on loan, with the prospect of a reintegration at United not on the horizon unless an apology was forthcoming, and multiple sources in both England and Germany report that the two clubs are now in active discussions over a move. Dortmund will need to pay a significant chunk of Sancho's salary to make the move happen, though it remains to be seen whether United will look to replace him with a signing of their own, and it's been claimed that a deal could be struck by the end of this week. Fellow Bundesliga sides Bayer Leverkusen, RB Leipzig and VfB Stu...

The union representing striking auto workers is describing its latest talks with Ford as reasonably productive NEW YORK -- The United Auto Workers said Saturday it had “reasonably productive conversations” with Ford, as its limited strike against the Big 3 automakers carried into a second day. The union is trying to reach a deal with not only Ford but also General Motors and Stellantis for better pay in an era of big profits for the industry, which is trying to transition from gasoline-powered engines to electric vehicles. Stellantis on Saturday also gave details about its most recent offer to the union, which brought its wage proposal roughly in line with its competitors. The owner of Chrysler said its offer would provide cumulative raises of nearly 21% for hourly wages, with an immediate 10% increase if a contract is ratified. That, though, is still below the 36% increase over four years the UAW is seeking, along with other demands that would increase costs for auto companies. Mark S...
