'End of Shankland saga is nigh, but how will it unfold?'
Another day, another - kinda - update on the Lawrence Shankland story... As we all know by now, Derek McInnes' squad have headed out to Spain for a warm-weather training camp and the Scotland striker is not with them. Advertisement However, according to Hearts Standard editor Joel Sked, the offer of a contract from the Tynecastle club is still there and his future remains "in the balance". "It seems like it's business as usual, the contract is on the table for Lawrence Shankland - a contract which would still make him the highest paid player at the club," Sked told BBC Sportsound. "I have no problem with him holding out to see if there are options. "I think it's still in the balance, but at the very end stage where, one way or another, something has to be done." Hearts kick off their season on 12 July against Dunfermline in the League Cup group stage, so it's safe to say time is ticking. Advertisement "Hearts will need someone to replace him if he doesn't stay," Sked added. "I get why they're trying to wait as long as possible because I think trying to replace Shankland will be very, very difficult. "I don't think it will be much more of a saga, I think we're coming to the end of it, which is needed for all parties."

Real Madrid set date to finalise Vinicius Junior contract situation
Real Madrid have already closed three summer signings, but this will not be the only business they that do over the coming months. There are also plans for current players to be offered new contracts, and among those to fall into this category is Vinicius Junior. Over the last 12 months, Vinicius has been regularly linked with a record-breaking move to Saudi Arabia, and although he had entertained that possibility, his desire was always to remain with Real Madrid. And barring any last-minute changes, he will do so. Advertisement Back in May, it was reported that Vinicius and Real Madrid had come to an agreement over a new contract, but there has been silence on the matter since then. But there is no cause for concern. Image via Antonio Villalba/Real Madrid via Getty Images Real Madrid to ratify new Vinicius Junior contract After Real Madrid's victory over RB Salzburg earlier this week, Vinicius made it clear that he wants to stay for many years to come. And that wish will soon be fulfilled, with Marca reporting that a meeting to ratify his new contract will take place in the United States in the next couple of weeks. Vinicius will sign a new five-year contract with Real Madrid, which would take him through to 2030. The club have always been confident of everything being finalised, but their idea was there not to be significant movement while there is still football being played, so that there are no unnecessary distractions. Real Madrid have further renewals planned alongside Vinicius And as a result, it is expected that Real Madrid will announce Vinicius' new contract any time after the end of their involvement at the Club World Cup, which runs until mid-July. And he is unlikely to be the only players whose renewal is confirmed this summer, with Thibaut Courtois and Brahim Diaz both set to have their futures defined too.

DHL Express Canada reinstates service after workers ratify labor deal
DHL Express has restored all services in Canada and will resume full operations Monday after union workers represented by Unifor ratified a new four-year contract, the company announced Saturday. Approval of the collective bargaining agreement ends a strike/lockout that lasted nearly three weeks and forced the company to halt parcel deliveries on June 20. Unifor said the agreement, which covers more than 2,100 truck and van drivers, warehouse pickers and clerical workers, was ratified by 72% of the membership. Negotiators for both parties reached a tentative contract agreement on Wednesday. 'DHL Express Canada has worked diligently and in good faith with Unifor's bargaining committee to reach a fair deal and ensure a prompt return to service. . . We are excited to resume our operations and welcome back all our team members. Together, we'll prioritize delivering the highest quality service to our customers,' DHL Express Canada said in a statement. The new contract features a 15.75% increase in wages throughout the life of the contract, a new payment structure for independent drivers, pension increases for hourly workers and a new pension for owner-operators, according to Unifor. The labor agreement also increases short-and-long term disability payments, provides a new mental health benefit, increases severance and wage adjustments, and provides greater worker protection from artificial intelligence and automation. The union credited a new federal ban on use of replacement workers with helping to resolve the negotiating standoff. DHL Express initially hired replacement workers to maintain operations, but suspended deliveries when the legislation took effect June 20. Companies that violate the law could be subject to a $74,000 penalty per day. During bargaining, DHL had proposed a 15% wage increase over five years while Unifor sought a 22% increase for hourly workers. 'This is a historic dispute in our union's books because we were the test case for the new anti-scab legislation and our union and members stood tall, held strong, and the end result is we got a fair collective agreement,' Unifor National President Lana Payne said in a news release. Unifor said its workers will return to work, but added there is no definite timeline to do so. It likely will take several days for DHL Express Canada to work through the backlog of packages stuck in its facilities. DHL Express Canada had preempted an expected strike by locking out workers on June 8. Unifor followed hours later by initiating a strike action.
