TOPMiami 'outclassed' as historic Messi streak ends
FC Cincinnati defeated Inter Miami 3-0 at TQL Stadium on Wednesday night, ending Inter Miami's five-match winning streak and Lionel Messi's MLS record streak of scoring two goals in a game. Messi was held scoreless. Cincinnati midfielder Evander was the standout player, scoring twice in the second half to set a club record by finding the net in his fifth consecutive MLS match. His goals brought his season total to 15. His first goal, a left-footed shot from the center of the box, doubled Cincinnati's lead after Gerardo Valenzuela had put the hosts ahead in the first half. Evander received "MVP" chants from the home crowd. Inter Miami coach Javier Mascherano admitted his team was "clearly outclassed" from the start. He cited struggles in individual encounters, significant physical stress leading to fatigue and lack of sharpness, and constant pressure from Cincinnati as reasons for the loss, acknowledging Cincinnati "beat us very well." Mascherano expressed concern about being outplayed so comprehensively. Cincinnati dominated the match, controlling possession for most of the first half and extra time. They had 11 total shots (6 on goal), compared to Miami's offensive struggles. Cincinnati's stellar defense effectively contained Messi and the entire Miami attack throughout the first half, thwarting every opportunity. Messi had two first-half shot attempts blocked by defender Lukas Engel and saved by goalkeeper Roman Celentano. Celentano earned his seventh clean sheet of the season with two saves. Miami goalkeepers Oscar Ustari (injured in the first half) and Rocco Ríos Novo combined for four saves. The loss was Inter Miami's first regular-season defeat since May 18. Cincinnati moved into second place in the Eastern Conference.

TOP📹 Neymar shines as Santos beat leaders Flamengo, ease drop fears
Santos defeated Flamengo 1-0 at Vila Belmiro on Wednesday during the 14th round of the 2025 Brasileirão. The first half was closely contested but featured few clear scoring opportunities. Flamengo controlled possession with greater technical quality, while Santos focused on counterattacks. The decisive goal came from a Santos counterattack late in the second half, ending Flamengo's five-match unbeaten run without conceding in the league. Earlier in the first half, Flamengo nearly scored when Gonzalo Plata's shot from the edge of the area was spectacularly saved by Santos goalkeeper Gabriel Brazão. Santos responded with a chance of their own, but Deivid Washington's shot was saved by Flamengo's Rossi after a pass from Neymar. Early in the second half, Flamengo substituted Léo Ortiz due to pain in his gluteal region, bringing on Léo Pereira. Just two minutes after the restart, Plata had another effort saved by Brazão following a spectacular pass from Arrascaeta. Brazão was called into action again later, saving a dangerous free kick taken by De la Cruz in the 28th minute of the second half. The match also marked the official professional debut for 17-year-old Robinho Jr. (son of the former player) in the Brasileirão, following his appearance in a previous friendly.

Barnwell: Seattle Seahawks playmakers have upside, questions
ESPN writer Bill Barnwell ranked the Seattle Seahawks' collective group of offensive playmakers (wide receivers, running backs, and tight ends) at No. 19 out of 32 NFL teams in his annual rankings. This placement reflects significant uncertainty surrounding the Seahawks' overhauled offense. During an appearance on Seattle Sports, Barnwell explained that the middle-of-the-pack ranking signifies a skill-position group featuring both upside and question marks. He characterized his view as "hopeful, but also skeptical," which aligns with the 19th-place finish. A major source of the hope and skepticism is wide receiver Cooper Kupp, signed by Seattle after they traded DK Metcalf. While Kupp had an elite career with the Rams, including a historic 1,947-yard season in 2021 (second-most in NFL history), injuries have limited him to only 33 games over the past three seasons. His per-game receiving average has also dropped significantly, from 90.2 yards in 2022 to 61.4 in 2023 and 59.2 in 2024, among the lowest of his career. Barnwell noted Kupp was elite very recently but finds it hard to gauge his current level due to persistent injuries.

The bold Arsenal and Bayern Munich swap deal which could work for both
Bayern Munich is reportedly considering a move for Arsenal winger Gabriel Martinelli as they seek to strengthen their attacking options, particularly on the left wing. This follows Leroy Sané's departure to Galatasaray and unsuccessful attempts to sign Florian Wirtz, who joined Liverpool, and Nico Williams, who stayed at Athletic Bilbao. According to The Athletic, Martinelli is viewed as a potential target for Bayern manager Vincent Kompany, alongside Liverpool's Luis Díaz. Bayern previously had a bid of approximately £58 million rejected for Díaz and may now focus their attention on acquiring Martinelli instead. Martinelli joined Arsenal from Brazilian second-tier club Ituano in 2019 for £6 million, a signing initiated by then-manager Unai Emery. Initially requiring time to settle as a teenager, he showed early promise, scoring 5 Premier League goals across his first two seasons. He became a more regular starter in the 2021/22 season, contributing 6 goals and 6 assists in 36 matches. His breakthrough came in the 2022/23 campaign, where he excelled with 15 league goals and 7 assists, playing a key role in Arsenal's second-place finish.

Manchester City ace spotted wearing a Wolves shirt - and his player name choice is no surprise
Wolverhampton Wanderers are currently undergoing pre-season training in Portugal. The team played their first training camp match against Santa Clara on Tuesday, resulting in a 2-1 defeat for Wolves. Despite the loss, manager Vitor Pereira saw positive signs in the game. Player Fer Lopez received praise for his lively performance, and Sasa Kalajdzic was also fairly praised for his display, which included scoring a well-taken goal. Meanwhile, Manchester City player Rico Lewis, currently on holiday in Portugal following the conclusion of City's 2023/24 season, posted a picture on his Instagram Story on Tuesday wearing a Wolves shirt. The shirt specifically had 'FORBS 26' on the back. This refers to Carlos Forbs, Lewis's former teammate from their time together in the Manchester City academy, where they played for both the U18s and U23s. While Lewis progressed to Manchester City's first-team squad, Forbs left the club in the summer of 2023 to join Ajax. Despite their separate career paths, Lewis and Forbs have remained good friends, evidenced by Lewis tagging Forbs in an Instagram post earlier this year. Lewis wearing the Wolves shirt is a gesture of support for his friend, who now plays for Wolves. Forbs, known for being prolific in City's academy, had a challenging first season playing senior football for Ajax.

Five Manchester City players who could enjoy breakout seasons in 2025/26
As Pep Guardiola enters the new season following disappointment, emerging players have an opportunity to carve out meaningful roles due to injuries, fixture congestion, and the need for fresh energy. Five young talents are highlighted as ones to watch closely during the 2025/26 campaign. Brazilian defender Vitor Reis, signed from Palmeiras for £29.6 million, arrived as a highly-rated teenage centre-back. Strong, composed, and confident on the ball, he fits City's typical defensive profile. After training with senior coaches and featuring at the Club World Cup last season, the upcoming pre-season is seen as a key integration point. With questions over the futures of Nathan Aké and John Stones partly due to age and fitness, Reis could contend for minutes. Argentine midfielder Claudio Echeverri, signed from River Plate, has already begun making an impression at senior level. The 19-year-old made a late Premier League appearance and scored his first competitive goal at the Club World Cup. Nicknamed 'El Diablito' for his dribbling and acceleration, Echeverri offers directness in attack. Potential attacking departures, such as Jack Grealish, could open an opportunity for him to contribute in domestic and European competitions. Midfielder Divine Mukasa, signed from West Ham in 2023, enjoyed an exceptionally prolific Academy campaign last season. The England youth international recorded 16 goals and 15 assists in just 20 Under-18 Premier League appearances.

‘Brand Palmer’, Chelsea and how they can use Club World Cup to build U.S. popularity - The Athletic
Cole Palmer was instrumental in Chelsea's Club World Cup campaign, highlighted by his match-winning performance in the final against Paris Saint-Germain. He scored two goals in Chelsea's 3-0 victory, cementing his status as the club's most vital player both on and off the pitch. Palmer's prominence was evident through billboards in New York City, featuring the tagline "Scary Good," which he lived up to during the tournament. This triumph significantly boosts his commercial appeal, especially with the upcoming World Cup in the U.S., Canada, and Mexico next year, positioning him for global recognition after a breakout moment on this stage. Sports marketing expert Misha Sher emphasized that Palmer now has defining high-profile performances that make him relevant to a U.S. audience, a shift from a year ago. His football talent, combined with an endearing personality—including a viral goal celebration that earned him the nickname "Cold Palmer"—fuels his growing fan base and social media virality through authenticity. A viral clip from the trophy presentation captured Palmer's unintentional humor when he appeared confused by U.S. President Donald Trump's presence, asking, "Wait, wait, what is he doing?" as Trump handed over the trophy and stayed for celebrations. This moment underscored Palmer's ability to connect by simply being himself.

Xabi Alonso had planned to drop Vinicius Junior for Paris Saint-Germain showdown
Real Madrid suffered a heavy 4-0 defeat against Paris Saint-Germain in their Club World Cup semi-final last week. This loss marked Xabi Alonso's first defeat since becoming Real Madrid manager at the start of June and is considered a significant low point for the team. The defeat has intensified scrutiny on the playing dynamic between forwards Kylian Mbappé and Vinícius Junior, with many believing they struggle to function effectively together in Real Madrid's ideal lineup. Against PSG, they started as wingers on opposite sides of Gonzalo Higuaín, with Mbappé on the left and Vinícius playing out of position on the right. However, reports (via Alberto Pereiro on Radio Estadio) reveal that Vinícius was originally slated to start on the bench for the PSG match. The initial plan was for Mbappé and Higuaín to form a two-man attack. A late change occurred when Trent Alexander-Arnold became unavailable due to injury. This prompted manager Alonso to switch formations from 3-5-2 to 4-3-3, leading to Vinícius being reinstated in the starting lineup. Despite starting the match, Vinícius's near-benching is seen as a potential sign of his future standing, especially amid reports that Mbappé is currently favored more by the club. Nevertheless, Alonso's stated desire is to find a tactical solution that allows both Vinícius and Mbappé to start together and perform at their best. Finding this solution remains a key challenge for Alonso, who has until the start of August and Real Madrid's shortened pre-season schedule to resolve the issue.

América Earns a Valuable Draw Against Bahia and Will Decide the Spot at Home
América de Cali earned a vital 0-0 away draw against Bahia in the first leg of their Copa Sudamericana playoff round of 16 match in Salvador, Brazil. The Colombian team resisted sustained pressure and will aim to secure qualification in next week's return leg in Cali. Bahia dominated possession but struggled to break down América's organized defense, spearheaded by fullback Mateo Castillo. Despite dangerous chances from Michel Araújo, Rodrigo Nestor, and Cauly, the hosts failed to score. An early potential penalty for a Castillo handball was overturned by VAR. América adopted a defensive counterattacking approach, with their best chance coming from Joel Romero in the 21st minute. Veteran goalkeeper Jorge Soto proved crucial, making key saves—particularly in the second half when Bahia intensified attacks after introducing substitutes Kayky and Everton Ribeiro. Late-match tension escalated when Castillo was substituted following a hard tackle, creating space for Erick Pulga. VAR intervened again in stoppage time, resulting in Everton Ribeiro's red card for elbowing José Cavadía. Cavadía also received a red moments later, reducing both teams to ten players. The goalless draw gives América de Cali the advantage heading home, as any win in the second leg would secure progression to face Fluminense in the round of 16. Bahia must win outright in Colombia to advance.

Dolphins Trade Idea Swaps Tyreek Hill For Two-Time Pro Bowler
The Miami Dolphins, coming off an 8-9 season in 2024 and facing potential organizational changes if 2025 goes poorly, are seen as a team on the verge of transition. While their offense has potential for improvement due to offensive line additions, star wide receiver Tyreek Hill is reportedly unhappy and seeking a trade after his least productive season since his rookie year. A proposed solution involves trading Hill to the Washington Commanders. The suggested deal would send Hill and a 2026 fifth-round draft pick to Washington in exchange for Commanders wide receiver Terry McLaurin and a 2026 seventh-round pick. McLaurin is also reportedly dissatisfied, specifically seeking a new contract. The trade offers significant financial motivation for Miami. Moving Hill would alleviate a massive 2026 salary cap hit exceeding $51 million, freeing up resources to potentially sign McLaurin to a long-term deal without severe cap constraints. However, executing the trade faces hurdles. Washington would be hesitant to trade McLaurin, their primary receiver (WR1), without securing a suitable replacement, especially during quarterback Jayden Daniels' critical, cost-controlled rookie contract years. Despite the challenges, the article suggests the swap could benefit both teams: Miami gets a reset with another excellent receiver in McLaurin, while Washington adds Hill to bolster their Super Bowl aspirations.

Man United legend claims Rashford 'does not deserve' Barcelona move
Former Manchester United player Teddy Sheringham has strongly criticized Marcus Rashford's public desire to leave the club, stating the forward does not deserve a "dream move" to Barcelona. Sheringham expressed that moving to Barcelona would represent an undeserved "step up" for Rashford, arguing that playing for Manchester United is a privilege that should not be discarded lightly. Rashford, whose preferred destination is reportedly Barcelona, has been in talks with the Catalan club. His situation at Manchester United has deteriorated significantly; he spent the latter part of last season on loan at Aston Villa after expressing readiness for a "new challenge" in December. Recently, he lost his No.10 shirt to new signing Matheus Cunha and is training away from the first-team squad with other players expected to leave. Sheringham described Rashford's stance as "very soul-destroying," comparing it unfavourably to his own generation's appreciation for playing at a top club. He referenced Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang's similar situation at Arsenal and stated he hopes Rashford does not get the move he wants. Rashford is one of five players, including Alejandro Garnacho, Antony, Jadon Sancho, and Tyrell Malacia, excluded from manager Ruben Amorim's pre-season preparations so far.

Jaire Alexander was just handed 120 million reasons to prove the Packers wrong
The Baltimore Ravens' signing of cornerback Jaire Alexander has generated excitement among fans, quarterback Lamar Jackson, and his new teammates. Alexander, released by the Green Bay Packers, is highly motivated to prove his former team wrong. Following New York Jets cornerback Sauce Gardner's recent 4-year, $120 million contract, Alexander sees a rising market for his position. While Alexander isn't expected to command Gardner's $30 million annual salary, the Gardner deal sets a positive precedent. Entering his age-28 season with his second team, Alexander's primary challenge has been injuries. When healthy, he is considered one of the NFL's top cornerbacks, but his ability to stay on the field consistently has been hampered by a documented injury history. If Alexander can overcome his injury issues and play a full, strong season in 2025 at age 29, the article speculates he could command a contract averaging around $20 million per year, especially if it includes incentives. The Gardner deal suggests $20 million could be a realistic ceiling for Alexander under these circumstances, though achieving that level of performance and durability is acknowledged as a significant challenge. Alexander is likely viewing Gardner's contract as motivation for his own potential future deal.

Eagles can erase Bryce Huff disaster with signing eight-time Pro Bowler
The Philadelphia Eagles, after releasing Bryce Huff following a disappointing signing, are considering replacing him with veteran edge rusher Von Miller. CBS Sports identified the Eagles as an ideal landing spot for Miller following significant losses on their defensive line in free agency, including sack leaders Josh Sweat (8.5 sacks in 2024) and Milton Williams, plus the retirement of veteran leader Brandon Graham. Miller, an eight-time Pro Bowler and future Hall of Famer, is seen as a potential fit because the Eagles wouldn't require him to start but rather to contribute as a situational pass rusher on key downs, particularly third down – a role he successfully filled for the Buffalo Bills over the past three seasons. Although not at his peak, Miller recorded six sacks last year and has achieved at least five sacks in most recent seasons. His primary role in Philadelphia would be to provide pass rush pressure on third downs, allowing younger players like Nolan Smith Jr. and Jalyx Hunt to handle earlier downs. Beyond on-field production, Miller's 15 years of experience would provide valuable veteran mentorship for the Eagles' young edge rushers, effectively serving as an on-field coach. An additional connection facilitating a potential signing is Eagles defensive coordinator Vic Fangio, who was Miller's head coach during their time together with the Denver Broncos. Miller is viewed as a natural fit for Fangio's defensive scheme. Financially, the move is considered feasible for Eagles GM Howie Roseman, as Miller would likely command a cheap, one-year deal, contrasting sharply with the costly Huff signing. The article suggests adding Miller could bolster the Eagles' youthful defense and set up future success.

Ravens rookie now fully tangled in increasingly ugly NFL Draft pick mess
The NFL is experiencing a shift in contract negotiations, with second-round rookies now seeking fully guaranteed deals—previously reserved for first-round picks. Cleveland Browns linebacker Carson Schwesinger and Houston Texans wide receiver Jayden Higgins have already secured such contracts, breaking this barrier. Other unsigned second-round selections face training camp deadlines to finalize agreements, as they cannot participate without contracts. This trend intensified when Los Angeles Chargers wide receiver Tre Harris (55th overall pick) held out of camp to demand guaranteed money, signaling potential challenges for teams negotiating with remaining unsigned players. Baltimore Ravens edge defender Mike Green (59th pick) is among those without a deal as training camp approaches. Despite possessing first-round talent—evidenced by his nation-leading 17 sacks and 23 tackles for loss at Marshall—Green's contract talks are complicated by off-field issues. He faces two pending sexual assault charges, which led to his dismissal from Virginia's football program in 2022 and caused his draft slide. Although the Ravens conducted thorough investigations and selected him based on confidence in his character, these allegations create unique negotiation hurdles. With Ravens rookies reporting July 15, Green risks missing critical camp time if unsigned. Green's absence would detrimentally impact both his adjustment to the NFL and the Ravens' defensive plans. The team struggled with inconsistent and non-explosive pass rushes in 2024, and Green's skill set directly addresses these weaknesses. While Baltimore has depth in pass rushers, his participation in camp is vital for integration. The precedent set by Schwesinger, Higgins, and Harris's demands increases pressure on the Ravens to resolve negotiations before camp begins, balancing talent evaluation against off-field concerns.

Jude Bellingham targeting October return following shoulder surgery
Jude Bellingham is scheduled to undergo shoulder surgery in London on Wednesday, aiming to return to action for Real Madrid in October. The 22-year-old midfielder, who dislocated his left shoulder during a November 2023 La Liga match against Rayo Vallecano, has managed the injury with strapping while playing consistently for club and country since then, missing only four initial matches. The Athletic reported in May that Bellingham would have the procedure after Real Madrid's Club World Cup campaign, with an expected recovery period of 10-12 weeks. His participation in the tournament—where Madrid exited after a 4-0 semi-final loss to Paris Saint-Germain—delayed the surgery until mid-July. Real Madrid faces a congested early-season schedule, opening their 2025-26 La Liga campaign against Osasuna on August 19. The club's request to postpone this match due to Club World Cup commitments was rejected by La Liga, meaning Madrid will play seven league fixtures between August and September, including a derby against Atletico Madrid on September 28. Meanwhile, England has World Cup qualifiers against Andorra and Serbia in September, followed by an October 9 friendly against Wales. Bellingham has been included in all squads since Thomas Tuchel became head coach in January. Since his €103 million move from Borussia Dortmund in June 2023, Bellingham has made 100 appearances for Madrid, contributing 38 goals and 28 assists.

Barcelona youngster surprises everyone with his post-injury physical change
Liverpool is reportedly considering an unexpected move for a Premier League forward who has also been linked with Barcelona, indicating potential transfer competition. Concurrently, Barcelona's captain has missed group training for three consecutive days, raising questions about his status. Contract developments include Barcelona securing a new deal with an academy prodigy, while a former La Masia talent openly expressed emotional pain about leaving after securing a transfer to Serie A. Chelsea is preparing a bid exceeding €50 million for a 22-year-old Barcelona star, highlighting external interest in the squad. Barcelona's youth system remains in focus, with three La Masia youngsters poised for first-team opportunities following a midfielder's imminent exit. Eight additional La Masia talents will join Hansi Flick's pre-season call-ups, with three specifically highlighted as players to watch during the tour. Analysis pieces compare Marcus Rashford and Luis Díaz as potential targets and detail Nico Williams' rejection of Barcelona, including the club's awareness timeline. Match coverage includes Barcelona's 3-0 victory over Athletic Club, with player ratings highlighting Pedri (8.5) and Lewandowski (9). Pre-match discussions proposed a 4-2-3-1 lineup featuring Christensen and Casado, while post-match analyses examined three talking points from both this win and Barcelona's prior 2-3 loss to Villarreal. Finally, Joan García's prospective signing is analyzed through five key reasons he could be an ideal fit for Barcelona.

Steelers and 49ers mock trade swaps receivers in potential NFL stunner
ESPN's Adam Schefter reports Jauan Jennings' tenure with the San Francisco 49ers appears uncertain, potentially making him available for trade. The Pittsburgh Steelers are viewed as a likely suitor, actively seeking a significant upgrade at wide receiver to bolster their offensive weapons. The Steelers' recent acquisition strategy—exemplified by trading for Jalen Ramsey and Jonnu Smith before extending Smith's contract with a raise—could serve as a model for pursuing Jennings. Pittsburgh has sufficient salary cap space to absorb Jennings' $7.5 million contract this season, considering it excellent value for a versatile and physical receiver. General Manager Omar Khan is expected to aggressively pursue Jennings if he hits the trade market. In a proposed mock trade, the Steelers would acquire Jennings and likely sign him to a short-term extension with a moderate pay increase. In return, the 49ers would receive speedy receiver Calvin Austin III, who has shown potential but lacks consistent production. Austin could thrive in San Francisco's creative offense, particularly as temporary depth while Brandon Aiyuk recovers from injury. The deal would also involve a mid-round draft pick swap to balance value. Jennings is coming off a breakout 2024 season with 77 receptions for 975 yards and six touchdowns, heightening his value. The Steelers covet his playing style, while the 49ers gain a developmental prospect in Austin. Both teams could benefit from this scenario, creating a potential win-win outcome.

Former Panthers RB Christian McCaffrey celebrates massive off-field milestone
Former Carolina Panthers running back Christian McCaffrey and his wife, Olivia Culpo, have welcomed their first child, a baby girl named Colette Annalise McCaffrey. Culpo announced the birth via an Instagram post. McCaffrey and Culpo began their relationship in 2019 and were married in 2024. The upcoming NFL season will be McCaffrey's first as a father. McCaffrey, drafted 8th overall by the Panthers in 2017, spent his first five and a half NFL seasons in Carolina, becoming a fan favorite. As the Panthers initiated a rebuild in 2022, he was one of the last significant players traded from their late 2010s era, moving to the San Francisco 49ers for draft picks. While McCaffrey has since signed an extension with the 49ers and reached a Super Bowl with them, he has struggled with injuries since the trade. The 49ers missed the playoffs last season partly due to his limited availability.

Rams newcomer named 'most important non-QB' for 2025 season
The article reports on CBS Sports analyst Jared Dubin's selection of the most important non-quarterback player for the Los Angeles Rams, identifying veteran wide receiver Davante Adams as that key figure. Dubin emphasizes that while multiple players could fit this role, Adams stands out due to his potential impact on the team's success despite not being a quarterback. Adams, a recent acquisition, was chosen because he fills a critical offensive need. The analysis notes that Adams was considered a strong fit for the Rams even before free agency opened, primarily because quarterback Matthew Stafford has historically thrived with two elite receivers. Despite his age, Adams remains a top-tier player and offers greater versatility in lining up both inside and outside compared to his predecessor, Cooper Kupp. The article suggests Adams could significantly elevate the Rams' offensive potential if he maintains his recent high level of play. While acknowledging that other newcomers like Puka Nacua, an offensive lineman, or Jared Verse might also be impactful, it underscores that the Rams specifically targeted Adams as Kupp's replacement, prioritizing his elite skillset above other offensive additions. Dubin's reasoning centers on Adams' comprehensive value: his ability to play anywhere on the field, his extensive veteran experience, and his status as one of the NFL's best current receivers, making him the most vital non-QB component for the Rams.

Liverpool Make ‘Club to Club Approach’ for Player ‘Better Than Mohamed Salah’
Liverpool have made a "club to club approach" for Newcastle United striker Alexander Isak, though no formal offer has been submitted. Newcastle are reluctant to sell their key player, described as "better than Mohamed Salah", and Liverpool are aware of this stance. The Reds have communicated their interest in a potential deal worth around £120 million. Should they fail to sign Isak, Liverpool are considering entering the race for Hugo Ekitike. However, this puts Newcastle in a predicament, as they themselves submitted a bid for Ekitike yesterday with the intention of him playing *alongside* Isak. It now appears Newcastle will likely have to choose between keeping Isak or signing Ekitike for the coming season. Liverpool's pursuit of a striker like Isak is driven by their need for attacking reinforcements. The likely departures of Darwin Nunez and Federico Chiesa, combined with Luis Diaz's potential move to Bayern Munich, would leave manager Arne Slot with only three forwards: Salah, Cody Gakpo, and Diaz. All three are naturally wide players, creating a need for a strong central striking option. Isak is seen as an ideal solution. He is a prolific striker who also offers the versatility Liverpool value in their forwards. Slot could tactically deploy Isak on the left flank when needed, providing flexibility. Signing the 25-year-old Isak is viewed as crucial for Liverpool's ambitions of winning back-to-back league titles.

Mokwena becomes new MC Alger manager
Rulani Mokwena has been appointed as the new head coach of Mouloudia Club d'Alger (MC Alger). This follows his departure from Moroccan club Wydad AC after one season, where he failed to secure qualification for the CAF Champions League. Despite being linked with clubs such as Orlando Pirates, Zamalek, and Pyramids FC after leaving Wydad, Mokwena chose to join the Algerian champions. MC Alger has won the Algerian Ligue 1 title for the last two consecutive seasons and will compete in the upcoming CAF Champions League. For his technical team at MC Alger, the 38-year-old Mokwena has recruited his former Sundowns colleague Wendell Robinson and Sibusiso Mahlangu, who worked with him at both Sundowns and Wydad. He has also brought in Belgian Enzo Donis. Robinson will leave his role as assistant coach at AmaZulu, while Donis is leaving his position as assistant coach of Togo.

Wayne Rooney & Steven Gerrard told they could reignite coaching careers in surprise country as ex-England boss identifies main 'problem' that Premier League icons have faced
Former England manager Roy Hodgson doubts that Steven Gerrard and Wayne Rooney will pursue coaching opportunities in unexpected countries like Sweden, despite both being currently unemployed. Hodgson, who has extensive international coaching experience, believes high-profile players like them will continue to attract offers from English clubs due to their legendary status, making a move abroad unlikely. Hodgson suggests that managers without such star power—like Graham Potter or himself—are more probable candidates for overseas roles. He highlights increasing job insecurity in football, noting the average managerial tenure drops below one year outside the Premier League. However, he questions whether clubs in nations like Sweden could financially afford English managers' salary expectations today. Despite his skepticism about Sweden, Hodgson would advise Gerrard and Rooney to accept foreign opportunities if presented. He praises their drive but wonders if they could adapt to working with less skilled players, though he cites Rooney's positive experience helping struggling players at Plymouth. Hodgson differentiates their career trajectory from managers like Vincent Kompany, who climbed through clubs like Anderlecht before joining Bayern Munich. Currently, Gerrard remains without a managerial position since leaving Saudi Arabia's Al-Ettifaq in January 2024, while Rooney—after departing Plymouth Argyle—is focused on media work and a documentary with his wife Coleen.

Jason: Joining Al Fayha 'very important step in my career'

The player, who previously featured for Levante, Valencia, Getafe, and Alaves in Spain, joins the Roshn Saudi League (RSL) club from Portuguese Primeira Liga side Arouca. He aims to help Al Fayha improve upon their 13th-place finish in the previous Saudi top-flight season. Before beginning the 2025-26 RSL campaign, Remeseiro explained his decision to join Al Fayha. He stated that moving to the Saudi league represented a significant career opportunity due to the league's rapid growth, the influx of important players increasing its value, and its rising competitiveness. He cited the performances of Saudi clubs in the FIFA Club World Cup as evidence of this progress. Remeseiro also revealed that former teammates currently playing in Saudi Arabia spoke very highly of the league, which positively influenced his decision. He believes competing in the Saudi league will open many doors for his career. Furthermore, he attributed the league's increased competitiveness and value significantly to the arrival of star players like Cristiano Ronaldo. Remeseiro noted that Ronaldo initiated a trend of high-quality players joining Saudi clubs, resulting in a very competitive league featuring strong teams and talented players.
