Rennes' Glen Kamara joins Al-Shabab on loan

Yahoo31-01-2025
Rennes midfielder Glen Kamara (29) has left Les Rouge et Noir to sign for Saudi Arabia side Al-Shabab on loan, both clubs have announced. The former Leeds midfielder only joined the Brittany Ligue 1 club last summer but – like Albert Grønbæk, Henrik Meister and Jota – he has decided to leave only six months after his arrival. The Finland international only featured 13 times this season. Kamara was notably axed from then-Rennes head coach Jorge Sampaoli's training squad after an embarrassing Coupe de France exit against Troyes.

Kamara will spend the remainder of the 2024-2025 on loan to Saudi Pro League Riyad-based side Al-Shabab. Kamara's loan move includes an option to make his move permanent. Southampton, Ipswich Town and Middlesbrough reportedly offered Kamara a way back into English football. With Kamara and Baptiste Santamaria all departed on loan, Rennes are expected to step up their pursuit of a midfielder with Hellas Verona's Reda Belahyane a reported target for the Bretons.

ACC Kickoff: FSU QB Tommy Castellanos stands ‘on what I said' about Alabama

CHARLOTTE -- New Florida State quarterback Tommy Castellanos made the most of the talking season that is college football's summer tradition. In an interview with On3 in June, Castellanos talked boldly about FSU's season-opening matchup against Alabama, saying, "They don't have Nick Saban to save them. I just don't see them stopping me." Those strong words inspired some attention in Tuscaloosa and led to plenty of questions for the FSU quarterback Wednesday at ACC Kickoff ahead of the Aug. 30 matchup with the Crimson Tide in Tallahassee. "We stand on what I said," Castellanos said. "There's no disrespect (towards) that team or anything like that. It's just the confidence that I have in my teammates and the way we've been preparing and putting this preparation together this offseason." Castellanos transferred to FSU after spending the prior two seasons at Boston College. In 2023, the dual-threat QB was a sensation at BC with 2,248 passing yards, 1,113 rushing yards and 28 total touchdowns (15 passing, 13 rushing). In 2024, he didn't adapt especially well to a new offensive scheme and left the team midway through the season after he was removed as the starter. Now Castellanos is tasked with providing a spark to an FSU team that struggled mightily in 2024, limping to a 2-10 record that was the program's worst since 1974. "Being a part of Florida State is a dream come true," Castellanos said. --Miller Moss excited to start at Louisville after bowl breakout vs. Cardinals The best football game of Miller Moss' career to date was a Louisville game. He just happened to be playing for the other team. The then-USC quarterback made his first career start in the 2023 Holiday Bowl vs. Louisville, throwing for six touchdowns and 372 yards. Moss is expected to be Louisville's starting quarterback in 2025 after spending the past four seasons with the Trojans. "It's kind of a random coincidence or full-circle moment, whatever you want to call it," Moss said. "Fans will come up and say stuff to me (about the Holiday Bowl). I'll just let them know that we're going to make up for it this year." Moss got the first extensive playing time of his career in 2024, playing in nine games and throwing for 2,555 yards and 18 touchdowns. He'll now be tasked with following Tyler Shough, who was drafted 40th overall in this year's NFL draft by the New Orleans Saints after a one-year Louisville career. --Georgia Tech out for respect in the ACC Georgia Tech head coach Brent Key didn't beat around the bush. He believes his team has been underappreciated the last two years in the ACC. In Key's first full season at GT in 2023, the Yellow Jackets were picked 12th in the ACC and finished fourth. In 2024, they were picked ninth and finished tied for fourth. With quarterback Haynes King and running back Jamal Haynes back after strong 2024 seasons, that respect could come from ACC voters this year. Key knows that's not what matters at the end of the day. "We've got a great opportunity in front of us. We really do," Key said. "It's not about other people's expectations that matter. The only expectations that matter are ours." --Curt Weiler, Field Level Media Field Level Media 2025 - All Rights Reserved

Douglas Luiz deliberately misses training; expected to leave Juventus

Douglas Luiz has deliberately missed the training of Juventus as he wants to leave the club this summer transfer window. By Ravi Kumar Jha Published on July 24, 2025, 19:13 IST Douglas Luiz has deliberately missed the training of Juventus as he wants to leave the club this summer transfer window. Luiz did not show up for training and the club confirmed it. The player is expected to face some disciplinary actions by the club for his this behaviour. Douglas Luiz has sparked controversy at Juventus after deliberately missing a scheduled training session, fueling rumours of an imminent summer exit. The Brazilian midfielder failed to report for training, and the club has officially confirmed his absence. Sources close to the situation suggest that Luiz is pushing for a move away from the Turin-based club, just weeks after joining from Aston Villa in a high-profile transfer. His decision to skip training is seen as a clear indication of his desire to force a departure. Juventus are reportedly unhappy with Luiz's conduct and are expected to take disciplinary action. While the club remains tight-lipped about the internal measures being considered, such behavior is unlikely to be tolerated under the new regime led by manager Thiago Motta.

Aston Villa receive major Boubacar Kamara boost

Aston Villa have now reportedly finalised a new contract for Boubacar Kamara. The 25-year-old had been in discussions over fresh terms for months, and according to The Athletic, he has now agreed to a new deal that richly rewards his progress since joining on a free transfer from Marseille three years ago. Kamara was in the final two years of his previous contract before committing his future to the club, who were determined to secure his services long-term.

Without Champions League football, Kamara had previously questioned his future. However, a recent breakthrough in talks has resolved those concerns. Villa now have two potential routes back into UEFA's elite competition next season—through the Premier League or by winning the Europa League. A huge season awaits for Villa, who must return to the Champions League to retain their top players and attract similar quality in the transfer market. What do you make of the news?
