Top clubs monitor Jarell Quansah

Jarell Quansah is emerging as one of the most sought-after defenders ahead of the 2027 summer transfer window, with Florian Plettenberg reporting that several major clubs are already monitoring his situation at Bayer Leverkusen. Apparently, there is already “movement behind the scenes” regarding the England international’s future. Liverpool, Chelsea and Arsenal are all said to be interested in the centre-back, while Real Madrid are reportedly scouting him on a regular basis. Liverpool may hold a significant advantage in any future race for Quansah’s signature. The Reds are understood to have inserted a €70 million buy-back clause when the defender left for Leverkusen, giving them a potential route to bring him back to Anfield. Quansah’s stock has risen considerably over the past year. Strong performances in Germany, combined with his versatility and growing role in the England setup under Thomas Tuchel, have attracted attention from across Europe. If the 23-year-old continues his development and enjoys another impressive season with Leverkusen, his value could exceed €70 million by next summer, but Liverpool could still choose to complete the transfer for that amount.

‘A history that will last forever’ – Ronaldo honours Messi after Argentina send-off

Cristiano Ronaldo has taken to social media to pay tribute to his great rival Lionel Messi following his final Argentina game, saying he created "a history that will last forever." Messi won his 208th and final cap for the Albiceleste on Tuesday, scoring and providing two assists in a 3-0 win over Benin, on an emotional occasion in Buenos Aires. Messi's glittering international career ended with 126 goals, one World Cup win and two Copa America triumphs, as well as two further runner-up finishes at FIFA's flagship tournament. A visibly moved Messi addressed the crowd in the aftermath of Tuesday's game, with many of his team-mates past and present hailing his achievements on social media. So, too, did his great rival Ronaldo, who commented below a post on Messi's Instagram account to pay his own respects. "Leo, so many years defending your country and a history that will last forever," Ronaldo wrote. "All my respect for what you have achieved with Argentina." View this post on Instagram A post shared by Leo Messi (@leomessi) While Messi received a fitting farewell from Argentina during the international break, Ronaldo has been in the headlines for his unceremonious departure from the Portugal camp. He accused head coach Jorge Jesus of "breaching his word" by leaving him on the bench during a Nations League win over Norway, also saying the Portugal boss went back on a deal to read a set of pre-agreed statements at a subsequent press conference. Ronaldo, who says he remains available for selection by the Selecao, has scored 146 goals in 234 appearances for his country – both all-time records in men's international football.

Khaldoon al-Mubarak: the tightrope walker who made rare misstep over City charges

Manchester City’s chair is key to the project of making Abu Dhabi a secure world power but his next move may be the sale of the clubNo one better understands the precarious tightrope Abu Dhabi walks when it tries to balance its relationships with western Europe while weighing the complex geopolitics of the Gulf region than Manchester City’s chair, Khaldoon al-Mubarak. He was eight when his father, ambassador Khalifa Ahmed Abdel Aziz al-Mubarak, left the family Paris apartment for work on 9 February 1984 and was assassinated on the street in cold blood by a Palestinian terrorist.And no one outside the emirate’s royal family could be more wrapped up in the project of making and maintaining Abu Dhabi as a significant and secure world power and the dominant member of the United Arab Emirates, a nation state still only 55 years old. His paternal grandfather, Ahmad Bin Abdul Aziz al-Mubarak, was chair of Abu Dhabi’s Sharia judicial department and senior adviser to Sheikh Zayed bin Sultan al-Nahyan, the founding president of the UAE. As such, Ahmad Bin Abdul Aziz was the James Madison of the UAE (the founding father, not the Spurs player) in that he crafted the Islamic legal framework of the new nation in the 1970s.
