Transfer targets24 Jul 2028
Young Boys make their move for Harry Clarke
$27.5M on the table at Preston. The manager wanted him, the board agreed a number, and the only voices still to be heard are the ones at the other club.

Young Boys baulk at the price for Semih Şahin
Kaiserslautern wanted more than $12.2M and the board would not go there. Walked away, for now, which in a transfer window means until somebody blinks.
Transfer targets24 Jul 2028
Young Boys agree $1.7M for Noha Lemina
The clubs have shaken hands with Yverdon; the player has not yet. Personal terms are next, and personal terms are where more deals die than anybody prints.

Thun join the queue for Alvyn Sanches
Add another name to the list: Thun have asked the question everybody in the game has been asking about Alvyn Sanches. The answer from Young Boys has not changed — yet.
Player ratings24 Jul 2028
Can Bozdogan pops up at the right end — 7.85
7.85, 1 on the scoresheet, and the specific comedy of a back-four player celebrating like somebody who does this every week. He does not, and that is exactly why the ground reacted the way it did.

Young Boys rebuffed over Mahamadou Diarra
Not now, not at any price the club was prepared to say out loud. Aarau have kept their man, and Young Boys go back to a list with one name crossed off it.

A falling-out at Young Boys
Mattia Zanotti and a teammate went at it, and not about football. Training grounds are small places and a long season makes them smaller.
Squad24 Jul 2028
A row about effort at Young Boys
Somebody said out loud what several people thought about how hard another man trains, and Julian Weigl was in the middle of it. The one dressing-room argument that is genuinely about football.
Boardroom24 Jul 2028
5 academy graduates step up at Young Boys
Senior shirt numbers handed to boys the coaches have known since they were twelve. Most will not make it and all of them have already done the hard part.
