New deal already lined up for youngsterCan be signed when turning 18Tipped to become Ballon d'Or winnerFollow GOAL on WhatsApp! 🟢📱WHAT HAPPENED?
At 17 years of age, history-making youngster Yamal is preparing to sign a lucrative senior deal. He will be able to put pen to paper when turning 18 in July, and Barca already have terms pieced together for their exciting Golden Boy winner.

Yamal’s standing in Catalunya will be recognised, as he becomes a talismanic presence for one of the biggest clubs on the planet, but he has not made any outlandish demands. Blaugrana director Deco has told : “He didn't ask to be the highest-paid player on the team. That's not true. He just wants to be happy here. He has to live up to his age a little, no matter how hard it is, and he has to be happy. A player at this level has to be happy.
“For me, it's not a matter of whether he's 17, 26, or whatever; for me, football has to be fair and he has to have a contract that suits him. It's not a matter of being the highest-paid player; the important thing is that he's happy. For me, there's no better club for him than Barca. Contracts are four, five, or six years, somewhere in the region.”
THE BIGGER PICTURE
Barcelona are understandably keen to get Yamal tied down on a deal that fends off any unwelcome interest from afar. Asked if offers have been received for the teenage wonderkid, Deco added: “Yes, last season, not this one yet, but what we want is for him to stay. We don't want to listen to offers, but PSG asked, but Real Madrid didn't.”

Yamal is already considered to form part of the global elite, and Deco expects him to land a Golden Ball at some stage. The former Barca playmaker – who played alongside the likes of Lionel Messi and Ronaldinho – said: “I want him to win the Ballon d'Or. We have some players who can reach this, and Lamine is one of them. Raphinha, for the season he's had, is spectacular, but we'll see. Of course I would like a Barca player to win the Ballon d'Or.”

Florian Wirtz has issued his honest verdict on fellow new Liverpool signing Hugo Ekitike. The pair were adversaries during their time in Germany, but have now joined forces at Anfield in what promises to be a potent attacking partnership for the Reds.
Wirtz impressed by EkitikeFormer rivals now thriving as Liverpool team-matesReds to defend Premier League title in 2025-26Follow GOAL on WhatsApp! 🟢📱WHAT HAPPENED?
Ekitike was snapped up by Liverpool from Eintracht Frankfurt for an initial fee of £69 million, making him the club’s second most expensive signing of the summer after Wirtz. Both new recruits made their first appearances at Anfield during Monday night’s double-header against Athletic Bilbao, where Arne Slot's men claimed victory on both occasions.

Wirtz dazzled fans with his trademark close control and quick feet in Liverpool's 3-2 win over Athletic Club in the second game, showcasing the technical quality that made him one of Europe’s most sought-after midfielders at Bayer Leverkusen. Meanwhile, Ekitike made a notable contribution in the first half by setting up Mohamed Salah for one of Liverpool’s goals, combining force and finesse in a move that drew loud approval from the Anfield faithful.
WHAT WIRTZ SAID
Wirtz has expressed his admiration for Ekitike’s abilities in an interview with : "He is a really good player. I enjoyed watching him at Frankfurt, and I was really happy that he decided to come to us. In the training sessions already, he went well and also in the game, we had some combinations that were good. I am really happy that I can play with him.
"It is good that we have a few players that come at the same time, so we can connect a little bit and talk to each other about how we deal with it. That helps when you come to a new team."

Getty Images SportWHAT NEXT FOR LIVERPOOL?
Slot’s side will hope to carry the momentum from their pre-season victories into Sunday’s Community Shield encounter against Crystal Palace at Wembley, a match that offers the Reds their first chance at silverware in the 2025-26 campaign. Following the Wembley showdown, Liverpool will open their Premier League title defence at home against Bournemouth next Friday.
After hitting his fifth T20I ton, Rohit starred again in the Super Overs to wrap up India’s clean sweep
Sidharth Monga17-Jan-20243:53
Takeaways: Relief for Rohit, spin-allrounder conundrum for India
Rohit Sharma became the first man to five T20I hundreds, as he took India from 22 for 4 to 212 for 4 through their highest partnership in T20Is, with Rinku Singh. It was not enough. He came out again to hit two sixes in the first Super Over, and then seemingly retired himself out to get a better runner at the non-striker’s end. Still not enough. He had to – and was allowed to – come back again and hit a six in the second Super Over too.This time, the valiant Afghans ran out of gas, hitting two short-of-a-length legbreaks straight to long-off to end a dramatic night still without an international win against India despite their highest score when chasing, despite stunning batting from Gulbadin Naib and Mohammad Nabi, and despite a great start with the ball in regulation time.Don’t let them tell you it was just a dead rubber of a bilateral series. Things happened that you don’t often see. Nabi and Rahmanullah Gurbaz ran overthrows off the body on the last ball of the first Super Over, leaving Virat Kohli incensed and clapping in Nabi’s face.Related
Rohit Sharma becomes the most prolific T20I centurion
Ball-by-ball: Rohit and Rinku set the Chinnaswamy on fire
Minutes later, with two required off the last ball, Rohit, the non-striker, walked off to allow Rinku to take up the running duties. But Yashasvi Jaiswal’s bottom edge went only as far as the wicketkeeper, and the second tie necessitated another Super Over. Within one ball, Rohit was ready to bat again, which, under point 22 of Appendix F of the playing conditions, should have only be allowed if Rohit had earlier retired with an injury or illness or “any other unavoidable cause”.India were now batting first. So one ball later, Rohit smoked Fareed Ahmad, India’s tormentor with the new ball in regulation time, for a six and a four. If Rohit did indeed get away with one there, he would probably think he was owed one after a clearly high full toss earlier wasn’t called a no-ball. Or after the umpire kept him waiting on 0, following his two ducks earlier, by calling leg byes when he had hit the leather off a ball on a leg glance. The match, though, twisted more as Fareed got Rinku out on review and then Rohit ran himself out trying to steal a bye.Avesh Khan, who had gone for 55 in the main match, and Ravi Bishnoi, who had conceded 38, then warmed up throwing one ball at each other. When India saw two right-hand batters come out, they went to Bishnoi’s legspin, who didn’t repeat the earlier mistake of bowling too quick. He kept it slow and back of a length, and Nabi and Gurbaz just couldn’t impart enough power in their attempts to hit sixes.Nabi, especially, had batted like a dream during his brief stay in the main match. He hit three sixes in the 16 balls he faced to give a fledgling chase the kickstart it needed. In overs 15 and 16, he scored 31 of the 34 runs, as the spinners, Kuldeep Yadav and Bishnoi, went flatter and quicker when under the pump.Gulbadin Naib’s unbeaten 55 took the contest to Super Over•BCCI
Washington Sundar then did the opposite. He bowled slow and away from the batters’ reach. It is like going against every natural instinct when you are under fire. He reaped rewards for it when he bowled the 17th over without a boundary, and also had Nabi caught at deep cover.Then Karim Janat, who had conceded 36 in the last over of India’s innings, got out immediately. The Afghan worm was still higher than India’s, but they needed 44 off 14. That’s how brutal the last few overs with the ball had been for Afghanistan. Now was when Naib found pace on the ball, and nearly ran away with the match with some sensational hits. The last of his sixes brought it down to five required off the last two.Mukesh Kumar, who would bowl straight yorkers successfully in the first Super Over, kept going for wide ones in the 20th over of Afghanistan’s innings, but got away with two hittable balls in the end. A weak throw from Rinku allowed Naib to come back for the second to level the scores.Not that the straight yorker is the only unequivocal option. Afghanistan bowlers tried a few of those and went for 103 in the last five overs, the highest in a T20I outside one Nepal vs Mongolia match. However, even that game was no match for the 58 India took in the last two overs.As it turned out, India needed every last one of those runs after the start they had had. On a pitch that started off tacky, Fareed and Azmatullah Omarzai made full use of the variable pace and movement out of the surface. Amid frequent miscues, India’s intent remained aggressive. Jaiswal skied towards deep midwicket trying to go over long-on, and Kohli and Sanju Samson bagged golden ducks trying to attack short-of-a-length balls. Omarzai got the better of Shivam Dube with three inswingers followed by one that nipped away.India players pose with the trophy after beating Afghanistan 3-0•BCCI
After the new-ball bowlers did through the powerplay, legspinner Qais Ahmad extracted grip and turn from the same surface later. He even extracted an lbw decision against Rinku, but on review, UltraEdge recorded a faint inside edge that naked eye missed even on slow-motion replays. Had Rinku not got it overturned, it would have left India at 49 for 5 in the ninth over.What followed might tempt some to use as vindication for the conventional method of a slow start – Rohit reached a run a ball only in the 12th over, and then followed an explosive acceleration as he smashed 93 off the last 35 balls he faced – but it wasn’t like Rohit had dropped anchor. He had tried all kinds of shots, including five reverse sweeps, which is four more than he has ever tried in a T20 innings. His first reverse-swept six in T20 cricket took him to 40 off 36, the first time his runs outnumbered the balls faced.Once he found that six, Rohit broke free. He began taking liberties, starting out by targeting the debutant Mohammad Saleem. He just began to shuffle to off to target the leg side. If the ball happened to be in the slot, he went over midwicket or down the ground; if not, he manipulated the field.It was vintage Rohit with a little help from his friend Rinku. Rohit dominated the first part of the slog overs, managing to nudge good balls into gaps for fours, and monstering errors in length. And once your good balls are nurdled for fours, those errors tend to increase. Rinku ended the innings with three consecutive sixes to give Rohit’s innings just the impetus it needed, but little would Rohit have known that he would need to play two more pretty special knocks in the night just to win this match.
Former Manchester United youngster Zidane Iqbal has hit out at Erik ten Hag after he was told he would play for the Red Devils only to be dropped.

Iqbal criticises Ten Hag treatmentOnly played one game for Red DevilsNow in Netherlands with UtrechtFollow GOAL on WhatsApp! 🟢📱WHAT HAPPENED?
Iqbal only ever made one first-team appearance for United – that coming in the Champions League as an 89th minute substitute in 2021 – despite spending plenty of time around the squad. Now at Utrecht, the 22-year-old has spoken on how he was led to believe he would feature prominently in a Carabao Cup tie only to be left unused on the bench.
AdvertisementGetty Images SportTHE BIGGER PICTURE
The Iraq international was on the books at United from nine years of age and looked close to breaking into the squad, having been tipped for big things from a young age. However, he has now opened up on how he came to the decision to leave Old Trafford after feeling overlooked by Ten Hag, who was eventually sacked in October 2024.
WHAT IQBAL SAID
Speaking to , Iqbal said: “I just wanted 10 minutes off a bench to show myself and it really frustrated me that the gaffer didn’t seem to rate me enough to give me a chance to show if I could sink or swim.
"I spoke to my dad and agent and said: ‘I can’t do this for another year’. From the outside, it looked amazing to all my friends because I was training and travelling with United’s first team. For me, it was mentally tough because I was just training and not allowed to play with the Under-23s. I thought to myself, ‘I’m just like a number’. I was supposed to start a cup game against Charlton Athletic from League One.
"I was in all the shapes and patterns in pre-match training. I was starting as a 10 and Lisandro Martinez came up to me and said: ‘Now’s your chance’. He talked to me and said, ‘all of us are supporting you. Just show yourself, you’re a good player. We’re going to fight for you, make sure you’re ready to fight'. It motivated me and it was nice from him, an aggressive leader in the team, a big player. I got tickets for family and friends to see me. Finally, my chance.
"Then I got to the stadium, looked at the whiteboard and didn’t see my name. I was gutted. Then I thought I’d come off the bench. Nothing. That was the turning point for me. I didn’t feel the manager respected me enough to play me."

Iqbal is now with Utrecht and made 18 Eredivisie appearances during the 2024-25 season, scoring one goal as they finished fourth to reach the second qualifying round of the Europa League.

The BCB is expected to make the announcement this week, with Litton Das and Mehidy Hasan Miraz also in the running

Shakib Al Hasan is presently Bangladesh’s Test and T20I captain•BCB
The BCB will unveil Bangladesh’s new ODI captain later this week after the board president Nazmul Hassan has spoken to the candidates. Shakib Al Hasan is reportedly the first choice though Litton Das and Mehidy Hasan Miraz are also contenders.The board couldn’t finalise a name during the emergency meeting on Monday because it wanted to take the candidates’ views also into consideration. The squad for the Asia cup has to be announced by August 12, which leaves the BCB only three more days to reach a decision. Shakib is presently in Colombo; Litton has only just returned to Bangladesh after playing the Global T20 Canada; and Mehidy is in Dhaka.Hassan had said in a recent briefing that appointing Shakib as the ODI captain would be an “easy decision”, but ESPNcricinfo understands it isn’t as straightforward. Shakib is already Bangladesh’s Test and T20I captain, and it is not known whether he wants the leadership in all formats.Related
Tamim out of Asia Cup with back injury, steps down as ODI captain
Tamim Iqbal reverses retirement decision
“After our emergency meeting today, the board has entrusted the president to discuss the matter with the captaincy candidates by August 12,” Jalal Yunus, the BCB’s cricket operations chairman, said. “The president will hear about who will lead in which format, and whether that player agrees with it or not. We want to hear it from the candidates what they feel about captaining the red and white-ball teams.”We want to appoint a captain for the Asia Cup. We have to submit the team for this tournament by August 12. We have time till September 5, which is the deadline for World Cup squad declaration, to talk about the World Cup captain. We need to hear what the new captain will say. We will announce the team in the next couple of days. We will announce the captain too.”Bangladesh are likely to name a 22-member preliminary squad for the World Cup by August 12, which will include all the players going to the Asia Cup, which begins on August 30.The ODI captaincy remains vacant because Tamim Iqbal resigned on August 3, following his withdrawal from the Asia Cup owing to a back injury. He hopes to be fit in time for the ODI series against New Zealand that begins on September 21 and the ODI World Cup that follows.His resignation came less than a month after he reversed his emotional decision to retire from international cricket. He had retired on July 6 but the following afternoon, Bangladesh prime minister Sheikh Hasina requested him to change his decision and he agreed. It was thought at the time that Hassan’s comments to a local media outlet, in which he questioned Tamim’s professionalism and fitness, had triggered him into retiring hastily.
Despite Gary O’Neil’s sacking, a relegation battle and Vitor Pereira’s arrival, there has always been one constant at Wolverhampton Wanderers; Matheus Cunha.
With Pedro Neto leaving last summer, the Old Gold needed someone to step up and in the shape of their mercurial Brazilian, they found a new talisman.
Cunha has been exceptional this term and on his way to signing a new contract over the winter, has scored 15 goals and supplied four assists in 29 games.
Is it any wonder he’s attracted the interest of both Arsenal and Manchester United? A summer exit sadly feels likely.

Yet, it hasn’t all been positive press for Cunha, as the incident at Bournemouth will tell you.
The latest on Matheus Cunha’s ban
During their FA Cup clash with Bournemouth last month, Cunha was shown a straight red card for an incident with left-back Milos Kerkez.
He lashed out at the Hungarian three times, kicking him and then aiming a headbutt at the defender.
He was subsequently charged by the FA for ‘acting in an inappropriate manner’ and was given a three-game ban.
That came after he was handed a two-game suspension earlier in the season for an incident against Ipswich when he grabbed a member of their security team’s glasses.
Well, news broke earlier this week that the attacker has now been handed an additional one-game suspension and slapped with a £50,000 fine, meaning he won’t play again until their clash with Spurs on April 13th.
It seems Cunha can’t keep out of the news after another incident on international duty with Brazil.
What happened between Cunha and Vinicius Jr
The 25-year-old is still in the infancy of his international career.
Handed the first of his 11 caps in 2021, the former Atletico Madrid forward didn’t make a single appearance for his country in 2024.
However, his excellent form at Molineux prompted a call-up for the Selecao’s recent set of fixtures against Colombia in the early hours of Friday morning and Argentina in the early hours of Wednesday.
Brazil beat Colombia 2-1 the other night, with Cunha coming on for the last half an hour.
Vini Jr scored a last-gasp winner in stoppage time but as he was substituted, Cunha and teammate Raphinha were not best pleased with him.
Why? Well, as the footage shows below, the Real Madrid superstar was time-wasting and a yellow card would have meant he missed the game with Argentina.
Cunha and Raphinha didn’t just urge him once to get off the field quickly, but they did so twice. Talk about being a good teammate.

O técnico Rogério Ceni enalteceu o elenco do São Paulo após a classificação nos pênaltis da equipe sobre o Ceará para a semifinal da Copa Sul-Americana, nesta quarta-feira (10), no Castelão. Nos vestiários após a partida, o comandante tricolor definiu como ‘heroico’ o momento do clube.

GALERIA + Confira a avaliação das atuações no duelo entre Ceará e São Paulo pela Sul-Americana pela equipe do LANCE!
-Eu acho que o herói (de uma classificação nos pênaltis) é sempre o goleiro né, que é uma posição ingrata, de muito sofrimento. Assim como o Jandrei foi muito importante contra o Palmeiras (nas oitavas da Copa do Brasil), hoje o Felipe (Alves) nos ajudou bastante. É heroico o que esse grupo vem fazendo. Gosto muito de ver a disposição, a energia que todos colocam, jogando de meio e fim de semana há muito tempo, vem aqui e consegue esse resultado positivo.
Repetindo o que vem falando há muito tempo, Ceni reiterou mais uma vez que a prioridade do São Paulo na temporada será buscar algum título das duas copas que o clube disputa – disputa o jogo de volta ante o América-MG na próxima semana, pelas quartas da Copa do Brasil.
– Para a gente as copas se tornaram mais importantes, ainda mais aSul-Americana, chegar na semifinal, com a possibilidade de ir a uma final continental. Apesar do Atlético-GO (adversário tricolor na próxima fase) ter feito uma bela partida, nós sabemos que serão dois jogos mais difíceis até do que contra o Ceará. Mas dentro do que se apresentou esse ano, porque tivemos de ter uma mudança comportamental diante de alguns resultados, era para termos uma pontuação maior (no Campeonato Brasileiro), hoje estamos em uma situação de meio de tabela, já começando a se preocupar com a parte de baixo, teremos um jogo no domingo, sem o tempo de recuperação que o Bragantino tem, temos uma viagem de tarde toda amanhã, mas vamos fazer um time competitivo porque a vitória é muito importante para a gente.
O São Paulo não vence há seis rodadas do Brasileirão e ocupa a 11ª colocação, com 26 pontos ganhos. A luta que se desenha é de mais uma vez brigar contra o rebaixamento. Mas Ceni aposta em um título de copa para fazer a recuperação do Tricolor engatar de vez.
-Assim como um dia sonhei em ajudar a transformar o Fortaleza em uma equipe campeã, sonho depois de dez anos ver o São Paulo conquistar um título internacional novamente. Sonho muito com isso. Todos que trabalham comigo acho que são fundamentais para estarmos vivos em todas as competições. Se você analisar a situação do clube hoje, o que era anos atrás, a situação que ele se encontra, eu acho que tem que ser muito valorizado os atletas que estão aqui dentro, porque eles estão ajudando muito a instituição, de todas as maneiras possíveis. Nem sempre jogamos um futebol excepcional, mas eles deixam tudo a cada jogo, no limite a cada jogo, e tenham certeza de que essa entrega nunca faltará.

Manchester City have failed to see the best out of some of their finest players this season.
Erling Haaland may have scored 28 goals in all competitions, but there have been spells where he has failed to demonstrate his true talents.
Elsewhere, Phil Foden is another player who has struggled at times. The Englishman has registered 16 goal contributions – ten goals and six assists – yet only three goals came in the Champions League against Sporting CP, Sparta Prague and Slovan Bratislava.
When compared to his peers in the Premier League, Foden fails to rank in the top 55% for successful take-ons, progressive carries, touches in the opposition penalty area and progressive passes received per 90 this season.
This highlights how much he has regressed this term, and it appears as though City are approaching the end of a glorious era under Pep Guardiola.
Even Kevin De Bruyne hasn’t quite been at his best throughout the entire campaign, failing to inject the spark that City have so often required in 2025/26.
Could this be his last one at the Etihad? Only time will tell.
Kevin De Bruyne’s season in numbers for Man City
During the early part of the season, a hamstring injury meant he played just four of their opening ten Premier League matches.
Overall, the Belgian maestro has started just 18 of his 29 games for the club in all competitions, scoring four goals and recording seven assists.
When compared to his fellow attacking midfielders in the Premier League this season, De Bruyne ranks in the bottom 79% for successful take-ons, the bottom 54% for progressive carries (3.03) and ranks in the top 45% for touches in the opposition penalty area per 90.
Manchester City's KevinDeBruyne
Hardly the statistics that the supporters have been used to over the years, and it could finally be time for the 33-year-old to think about his future.
Indeed, his contract expires this summer, meaning City could release him for nothing. Much will depend on what happens over the next few weeks, but considering he hasn’t been as productive as in previous seasons, combined with injury problems, De Buryne’s best days are behind him.
Guardiola may look to build a new side around the youngsters he signed in the winter transfer window, as well as those who have progressed through the academy in recent years.
City have let a few youngsters go in the past, however, with several finally showcasing their talents elsewhere. Players such as Morgan Rogers, Roméo Lavia, Jadon Sancho and James Trafford moved away from City in order to secure regular game time at other clubs.
All four have gone on to impress significantly over the years. But could someone who only departed the Etihad in 2020 be their biggest regret?
Man City let "England's next superstar" leave for £0
Now outperforming De Bruyne in the here and now, a certain Jamie Gittens is the player they must regret letting go all those years ago.
He made just two appearances for the City U18 side during the 2019/20 campaign, scoring once, before, like Jadon Sancho, he made the move to Borussia Dortmund in the summer of 2020.
His first two seasons were spent with the youth side, registering 11 goals and five assists, sufficiently impressing boss Marco Rose, who gave him his Bundesliga debut towards the end of the 2021/22 season.
That summer, he signed a three-year contract extension due to take effect on his 18th birthday, and it has been a wise move by Dortmund, especially with his recent rise.
He was introduced to the senior squad slowly, making 20 first-team appearances throughout the 2022/23 season, before this increased to 34 games last term.
The youngster chipped in with two goals and five assists for the club in all competitions while even making a brief appearance in the Champions League final against Real Madrid, although they lost the tie 2-0.
It was all good experience for the 20-year-old as he aims to follow in the footsteps of his compatriots Sancho and Jude Bellingham by using Dortmund as a stepping stone in order to secure a big-money move away from Germany.

Media outlet Get German Football News dubbed the winger as “England’s next superstar” back in September following an impressive start to the season and he has been so good throughout 2024/25, that the London-born starlet is even outperforming De Bruyne in a number of key performance metrics, proving how good a player he really is.
How Jamie Gittens compares to Kevin De Bruyne
De Bruyne has registered 11 goal contributions for City this term. For Dortmund, Gittens has scored 11 goals and grabbed four assists for the club in all competitions, with four goals coming in the Champions League.
When compared to his positional peers across Europe’s top five leagues over the previous 365 days, Gittens ranks in the top 6% for progressive carries (5.93), the top 2% for successful take-ons (3.76) and in the top 5% for carries into the penalty area (3.21) per 90, highlighting how effective he has been in the final third, despite his tender years.
In comparison, De Bruyne ranks in the lowest 62% for progressive carries (2.92), the lowest 94% for successful take-ons (0.67), and the top 2% for carries into the opposition penalty area (1.05) when compared to his own peers across Europe’s top five leagues during the same time period.
These contrasting statistics clearly show that Gittens has been the most effective player in dangerous zones for their club and there is no doubt he will secure a move to a massive club sooner rather than later.
City must rue letting him go for nothing back in 2020, especially with his current rise to superstardom. Arsenal are thought to be mulling over a bid worth £83m for the speedster.

It takes some impressive performances to consistently outperform a player such as De Bruyne, but Gittens is doing it and then some this season.
