Keeping it real: Al Kholood's Grohe forever a safe pair of hands

When Al Kholood were busy last summer preparing for their debut season in the Roshn Saudi League, they showed they were far from naïve novices. Searching for a reputable performer between the sticks, a competent and commanding last line of defence, the Ar Rass club could not have plumped for anyone much better than they did. In came Marcelo Grohe, the record-breaking Brazilian who not long before had reigned supreme in the Saudi Arabian top flight. Grohe may have been 37 at the time, but he joined Al Kholood little more than 12 months from his pivotal role in Al Ittihad's 2022-23 RSL title success. Even today, two years on from his defining campaign in the competition, Grohe's unprecedented mark of 18 clean sheets in a single season sustains. And, although he managed only five shutouts for Al Kholood through the 2024-25 RSL, Grohe was instrumental in the first-timers' superb campaign. For Al Kholood finished ninth in the table – an incredibly commendable performance for a team expected to battle relegation. Now 38, Grohe underlined that, when it comes to footballers of elite ability, age is merely a number. Keen for proof of those still-there goalkeeping gifts? Then check out the below video.

Is Cameroon living a new experience? Cameroonian Jean-Éric Moursou receives several offers from European clubs. Press reports revealed that Cameroonian player Jean-Éric Moursou is on the radar of more than one club in Europe, especially in France. News reports revealed that a Greek second division club actually wants to sign the player and secure his services for the next season. Which club is interested in acquiring the player's services? The player, who is under contract with Valenciennes until 2027, is one of the best players of his generation and among Cameroonians as well, and at the age of 20, he will certainly have a bright future in the coming years. These press reports added that the young player is currently in advanced negotiations with the Welsh club at the request of the Greek team's coach, Guy Feutchine, who is already aware of the player's potential and hopes the deal will be completed soon. The Cameroonian player is already valued at no more than 100,000 euros, which the Greek club will actually be able to pay.

Ansu Fati: already a setback at Monaco?

Europe Ansu Fati: already a setback at Monaco? One month after his arrival at AS Monaco, Ansu Fati has yet to set foot on the pitch. On loan from FC Barcelona in a bid to reignite a career hampered by injuries, the 22-year-old winger remains on the bench. And that situation could persist. Monaco head coach Adi Hütter has confirmed that the Spaniard is following a personalized program. The goal: to avoid any relapse and gradually bring him back to peak form: We need to be cautious with Ansu. He needs time to get back up to speed without risking anything. Absent from the pre-season matches, Fati could also miss the start of the campaign. It's another blow in a long series for the player once tipped by Barcelona as Messi's heir. Monaco holds a purchase option, but if this dry spell continues, a return to Catalonia seems inevitable… with no guarantees of playing time.
