After João Félix's deal, Al Nassr bid for Man United's Antony
As per recent reports from Santi Aouna, Al Nassr has made a bid for Manchester United's Antony. By Ravi Kumar Jha Published on July 28, 2025, 09:21 IST As per recent reports from Santi Aouna, Al Nassr has made a bid for Manchester United's Antony. They have recently completed the deal to sign João Félix from Chelsea and now they are eyeing a move for the United's winger. The winger went to Real Betis on a 6-month loan and showed his immense potential there. Al Nassr, thus, made a bid for him. However, the amount of the bid is still not mentioned or cleared and the reports also not backed by some credible sources. Saudi Pro League heavyweight Al‑Nassr have officially submitted an offer for Manchester United winger Antony. While the transfer fee remains undisclosed, United are believed to be holding out for around €60 million to sanction the move. Al‑Nassr's interest comes hot on the heels of their recent signing of João Félix from Chelsea, reportedly sealing a two‑year contract with an initial €30 million fee plus add‑ons—and strong sell-on clauses. Now attention appears to have turned to reinforcing their attacking line further by targeting Antony. The 25‑year‑old Brazilian winger spent the back half of the 2024–25 season on loan at Real Betis, where he impressed enough to attract interest from both his former Spanish club and Saudi suitors. United still hold him under contract until 2027, but he has been transfer-listed and reportedly excluded from pre-season plans, signalling a clear intent to sell. His representation has indicated that Antony is open to a move to Saudi Arabia, stating 'he is on the market… open to moving to Saudi Arabia. Anything is possible.

Liverpool FC have started the procedure to sign Newcastle's Alexander Isak after selling Luis Diaz to Bayern Munich. By Ravi Kumar Jha Published on July 28, 2025, 08:30 IST Liverpool FC have started the procedure to sign Newcastle's Alexander Isak after selling Luis Diaz to Bayern Munich. The star winger was ready for a new chapter and as Isak revealed that he wants to join another club this summer, LFC became active. Despite signing Hugo Ekitike from Eintracht Frankfurt on a €95 million package deal, the Reds are ready to prepare a record bid if Newcastle makes the door open for Isak. Liverpool FC have reportedly started the process to sign Newcastle United striker Alexander Isak following the sale of Luis Diaz to Bayern Munich. The Colombian winger was eager for a new chapter, paving the way for the Reds to focus on strengthening their attack. According to multiple reports, Isak has expressed his desire to leave St. James' Park this summer, with Anfield being his preferred destination. The Swedish striker is said to consider a move to Liverpool as a 'dream transfer,' which has prompted the Merseyside giants to act quickly. Despite securing Hugo Ekitike from Eintracht Frankfurt in a €95 million package deal, Liverpool are prepared to table a record-breaking bid if Newcastle open talks. The Magpies are reportedly demanding more than €130 million for their prized forward, who has been a standout performer in the Premier League.

São Paulo on top, climb table, Fluminense sink deeper into crisis
At MorumBIS, São Paulo defeated Fluminense 3 x 1, this Sunday (27), for the 17th round of the Brasileirão 2025. The match was a true domination by the Paulista Tricolor and faithfully showed the difference between the teams this season. After all, São Paulo had two consecutive victories, while Fluminense accumulated four consecutive losses (including the one suffered against Chelsea, in the Club World Cup semifinal). With the ball rolling, the Paulista team didn't let the Tricolor das Laranjeiras breathe. Thus, after a corner kick in the area, the tricolor defense did not clear, and Luciano ran hard to prevent the ball from going out of bounds and crossed from the right, to the head of Arboleda, who jumped higher than Guga to open the score. This was the sixth participation in goals by São Paulo's number 10 in four games under Crespo's command. Still in the first half, Bobadilla shot from inside the box, the ball deflected off Freytes' knee and hit Martinelli's hand. Luciano took the penalty, but Fábio made a great save. The Paulista domination continued after the break. The hosts even had a goal disallowed at the beginning of the second half due to a deflection off Luciano's hand after Bobadilla's shot. The VAR appeared, once again, in sequence, when Ferreirinha headed to extend the lead. After analysis, the justification was "same line", or "blue line over the red line". Do you agree with the decision? When down by more on the scoreboard, coach Renato Gaúcho put some starters on the field (he had made eight changes from the last game), and Fluminense improved. In the final stretch, Samuel Xavier took the first rebound at the edge of the box, after São Paulo's defense partially cleared the cross, and scored for the Cariocas. In stoppage time, Guga - completing a disastrous match - lost the ball in midfield to Ferraresi, who assisted Gonzalo Tapia to enter the box alone and touch past Fábio to give the final numbers to the scoreboard with his first goal for the Paulista Tricolor.🚦 How it stands With the third consecutive victory, São Paulo reached 22 points and took the eighth position in the table. Fluminense, which accumulated the fourth consecutive defeat in the Brasileirão, remained with 20 points and fell to 11th place. The Carioca Tricolor returns to the field next Wednesday (30), when they visit Internacional, at Beira-Rio, for the first leg of the Copa do Brasil round of 16. And the Paulista Tricolor hosts Athletico-PR, at MorumBIS, on Thursday (31), for the same tournament. For the Brasileirão, Fluminense plays next Saturday (2), when they host Grêmio, at Maracanã, while São Paulo visits Internacional, at Beira-Rio, on Sunday (3).
