Ligue 1 News

The European soccer season is drawing to a close, but who will win the race for the titles, cups and European qualification -- and who will be relegated?
Paris St Germain go into the final day of the Ligue 1 season with the title long since wrapped up but, with Coupe de France and Champions League finals still to come, manager Luis Enrique wants a performance they can build upon.

Eric Dier will officially join Monaco when his Bayern Munich contract expires in the summer, the Ligue 1 club announced on Wednesday.

What teams showed the best and the worst of the 2024-25 European season? Luis Miguel Echegaray talks about all of that in his latest Onside/Offside column.

The top five European leagues have agreed to a close the summer transfer window at the same time to avoid a staggered final day of deals.
