On The Continent - A European Football Podcast

A year on from his move to Monaco, Paul Pogba's contract could be terminated any day now. What went wrong? And can he still find a landing spot for the final days of his career at the top level?

Dotun is joined by Andy and David Cartlidge to discuss that – plus, what we expect from Djed Spence's exciting move to Inter, why Xavi as Netherlands head coach could be a match made in heaven, and Andy and David get very excited about some new La Liga away days this season. Come join us!

Spain are first out of the blocks this weekend, but with none of the big three involved, it's a great chance for some of the dark horses to take the stage - chiefly, Villarreal. Dotun and Andy are joined by David Cartlidge to dissect Villarreal’s ambitions, whether Sevilla can halt their unbelievable fall from grace, and some concerning trends in the transfer market.

Elsewhere in España, Julián Alvarez tentatively made his way back to Atlético Madrid training with Barcelona's interest becoming impossible to ignore. So, what's next? And we are somehow at the business end of Champions League qualification! We get into two crucial playoff ties: Lyon vs Fenerbahçe, and Bodø/Glimt vs NEC Nijmegen.

While being the best midfielder in world football has it's perks, it also comes with one major headache: choosing between Barcelona and Real Madrid. But which of Spain's two giants would get the most out of Rodri?

Jonathan Johnson joins Dotun & Andy to answer that and more of your questions! Is Kvicha Kvaratskhelia a realistic Ballon d’Or contender? What does Andy make of Roma ahead of the new Serie A season? And are we surprised to see Charlie Cresswell sign for Rennes?

Silly season is well and truly upon us. Who could have predicted Mohamed Salah would end up at Turkish Süper Lig club Trabzonspor? Well, perhaps it makes more sense that it first appears.

Jonathan Johnson joins Dotun and Andy to break down why Salah chose Trabzon as his landing spot. But before that, man of the moment Ferran Torres still has his future up in the air. What do Barcelona do with him? And it's all change at Ajax with Míchel at the helm. But will this be their year?

Vinícius Júnior is this summer’s biggest talking point as his Real Madrid future remains uncertain. Arsenal's interest combined with growing questions from the Bernabéu hierarchy begs the question: should he stay, or should he go?
