Job in danger
The doubts surrounding Kovač essentially go back to the Liverpool game. The view of the bosses is that Bayern should not play a CL last 16 with no courage and purely with defensive tactics.

Battle
Idrissa Gueye is set to play his final game for Everton on Sunday with both PSG and Manchester United circling the Senegal international midfielder this summer. Everton are understood to accept that 29-year-old Gueye wants to leave the club though the Merseysiders will look to collect around £40million with the player having three years left on his contract.

They have put a price on the left-back too, as AS reported previously, they will accept an offer of €30 million. One of the teams showing the most interest is Napoli under Carlo Ancelotti.
