Saudi Arabian club Al-Nassr announced the signing of 21-year-old Colombian striker Jhon Duran from aston Villa. The financial details of the transfer were kept under wraps, but British media reports suggest the deal values around €77 million (£66.8 million) plus add-ons.This makes Duran the second-most expensive player ever sold by Villa, trailing only Jack Grealish’s move to Manchester City in 2021.

Gavi extends Barcelona stay, while Chelsea’s Sanchez faces uncertain future
Spanish midfielder Gavi has committed his future to FC Barcelona, signing a contract extension that ties him to the Catalan club until at least June 2030. The 20-year-old has become a key player for the Blaugrana since his debut in August 2021.
“Gavi has a fantastic character and a ferocious attitude, which he combines with great technique, defensive maturity and the ability to score goals,” Barcelona said in a statement reported by AFP.
His path hasn’t been without obstacles, though. gavi spent most of last year sidelined due to a ruptured anterior cruciate ligament in his right knee and a subsequent medial meniscus injury.
Meanwhile, across London, Chelsea’s goalkeeper, Robert Sanchez, is facing increasing pressure on his position.New manager Enzo Maresca acknowledged the growing concern amongst fans regarding the 27-year-old Spaniard’s performance.
“Robert is certainly a team player, but we have two good goalkeepers and we can make different decisions,” Maresca stated, hinting at the possibility of giving backup goalkeeper, Filip Jörgensen, a chance.
Maresca continued, “It doesn’t mean that Robert can make a mistake in every game and will always play. we have two or three days to make a decision.”
Sanchez has made several costly errors this season that have directly led to goals against Chelsea. The most recent blunder came during the weekend’s match against Manchester City (1-3),where he allowed Erling Haaland to score.
Chelsea fans had already voiced their disapproval during the previous match against Wolverhampton Wanderers (3-1), sarcastically cheering whenever Sanchez caught the ball after seemingly gifting Wolves an easy goal.
Jonathan Ikone sa stáva novou tvárou Como 1907
Taliansky klub Como 1907 posilnil o skúseného francúzskeho útočníka Jonathana Ikoneho. 26-ročný reprezentant Francúzska bude na hosťovaní z AC Fiorentina a dohoda obsahuje aj opciu na trvalý transfer. Ikone pôsobil v rôznych európskych kluboch, ako napríklad Paríž Saint-Germain, Montpellier a Lille, predtým ako sa dostal do Fiorentiny pred tromi rokmi.
Počas tohto roka nastúpil na 14 stretnutí v Serie A, ale streleckú produktivitu nepreukázal.”Jeho štýl hry, všestrannosť a skúsenosti budú pre nás cenné. Je schopný vytvárať si gólové príležitosti a perfektne zapadne do našej ofenzívnej stratégie,” uviedol pre agentúru AFP tréner Cesca Fabregas.
Como 1907 aktuálne obsadila 13. miesto v tabuľke Serie A, a od pásma zostupu ju delia iba dva body.
Viruskov príbeh v Mönchengladbachu pokračuje
Borussia Mönchengladbach predĺžila zmluvu so svojím športovým riaditeľom Rolandom Virkusom. 58-ročný Nemtec prevzal vedenie športového oddelenia pred tromi rokmi a clubovi pomohol v náročnej situácii.
“Sme veľmi spokojní s vývojom a výkonmi nášho tímu v tejto sezóne a sme radi, že sme predĺžili zmluvu s Rolandom, ktorý pred tromi rokmi prevzal a reorganizoval športové oddelenie v ťažkom období,” povedal prezident klubu Rainer Bonhof.
Simons dáva Lipsku definitívny znak
Holandský futbalista Xavi Simons definitívne prestúpi do nemeckého klubu RB Lipsko. 21-ročný talent bol pôvodne na hosťovaní z Paríža Saint-Germain, ale teraz sa stáva kmeňovým hráčom za štedré odstupné a podpísal kontrakt až do leta 2027.
“V Lipsku sa cítim dobre a som poctený veľkým uznaním,ktoré sa mi v klube dostalo,” povedal Simons.
Madagaskar hľadá cestu na MS 2026 s novým trénerom
12:48 Madagaskar sa vydal na cestu do neznáma s novým trénerom na čele. Bývalý francúzsky reprezentant Corentin Martins podpísal ročný kontrakt a oficiálne sa stal hlavným trénerom africkej krajiny vo štvrtok na štadióne Barea v Antananarivo.
Martins, ktorý si za Francúzsko vyslúžil 14 reprezentačných štartov v 90. rokoch minulého storočia, je plný ambícií. ”Naše ciele sú krátkodobé,” uviedol na tlačovej konferencii. ”Chceme sa dostať na majstrovstvá sveta 2026. Viem, že to znie nepredstaviteľne, ale verím, že Madagaskar má potenciál dosiahnuť tento úžasný cieľ.”
Včera sa Martins oficiálne predstavil Madagaskarčanovi publiku. madagaskar už v minulosti prekročil hranice neznámych s úspechom na Africkom pohári národov 2019, keď pod vedením Francúza Nicolasa Dupuisa dosiahol historický prvýkrát tento úspech. Martins sám má bohaté skúsenosti z Afriky. Trénoval Mauritániu od roku 2014 do roku 2021,silením sa na dve účasnosti na Africkom pohári národov. Neskôr trénoval Líbyu a pridal k svojej bilancii skúsenosti z trénerstva v alžírskych kluboch Paradou AC a CR Belouizdad.
Juventus vie, kým chcú posilniť svoju obranu
12:04 Taliansky futbalový klub Juventus Turín sa chystá na posilnenie zadných radov. Účastník Serie A by mal do konca sezóny získať na hosťovanie 26-ročného rakúskeho obrancu Kevina Dansa z francúzskeho Lensu.
O Dansa sa zaujímali viaceré kluby, vrátane konkurenčného rennes alebo anglického Wolverhamptonu. Podľa renomovaného novinára Fabrizia Romana by Juventus za dočasné angažovanie dansa zaplatil dva a pol milióna eur. Finálny záver klubov je už takmer na dosah
Lyon menoval Fonsecu za nového trénera
Francúzsky klub Olympique Lyon sa po odchode Pierra Sagea na post trénera dohodol s Portugalčanom Paulem Fonsecou. Lyon zverejnil novú dohodu na svojom oficiálnom webe.”Olympique Lyon s potešením oznamuje vymenovanie Paula Fonsecu za hlavného trénera tímu do 30. júna 2027,” uviedol Lyon vo vyhlásení.Fonseca podpísal 2,5-ročný kontrakt, čo mu dáva doviesť Lyon až do leta 2027. Nový tréner príde do klubu po krátkom čase bez práce. AC Miláno ho prepustilo v decembri po iba šiestich mesiacoch. Predtým viedol Lille, s ktorým v minulej sezóne obsadil štvrté miesto v Ligue 1.
Lyon v súčasnosti stojí na šiestom mieste v tabuľke Ligue 1.Posledné päť zápasov prinieslo len jeden víťazstvo. Klub tiež vypadol z Francúzskeho pohára po prehre s piatoligovým tímom Bourgoin-Jallieu.Napriek nedávnym ťažkostiam Lyon uspôsobil postup do osemfinále Európskej ligy po remíze 1:1 s Ludogorcom v poslednom zápase skupinovej fázy.
Arsenal posilnil útočný rad, Kellyová sa vracia domov
Londýnsky klub Arsenal získal na hosťovanie do konca sezóny Chloe Kellyovú. Zaujímavosťou je, že prestup nastal len deň po tom, čo anglická reprezentantka požiadala o odchod z Manchestru City.
Dvadsaťsedemročná Kellyová dostala v aktuálnej sezóne od trénera City minimálny priestor na ihrisku. V vyhlásení zverejnenom na platforme X uviedla svoju motiváciu odchodu.”Chcem si zvýšiť šance na nomináciu do anglickej reprezentácie na obhajobu titulu na Majstrovstvách Európy v júli,” napísala.
Kellyová je rodáčka z londýna a prešla akadémiou Arsenalu. V rokoch 2015 až 2017 pôsobila v seniorskom tíme Gunners.
“chloe je výborná útočníčka a bude skvelým prínosom pre náš tím v druhej polovici sezóny,” povedala trénerka Arsenalu Renee Slegersová. “Je priamočiara a explozívna, s obrovským prirodzeným talentom a schopnosťami. Všetci sa tešíme na spoluprácu s Chloe v najbližších mesiacoch.”
Boženíkov prestup do Legie Varšava kolaboval
Slovenský futbalový reprezentant Róbert Boženík sa nestane hráčom Legia Varšava. Poľský klub sa nedohodol s Boavistou na výške odstupného za útočníka.
O tom, že Boženík nebude hrať za Legia, informoval tréner poľskej ligovej sily Goncalo Feio.
“Myslím si, že viacero hráčov už môžeme zo zoznamu vyškrtnúť – Pitas, Nordas a boženík sa k Legii nepridajú,” povedal Feio na tlačovej konferencii.
Rennes mení trenéra
Francúzsky klub Stade Rennes robil v priebehu tohto roka už druhú zmenu na poste trénera. Stalo sa tak po vzájomnej dohode s Argentínčanom Jorge Sampaoliom.
Na jeho miesto prišiel 47-ročný Senegalský tréner Habib Beye, ktorý podpísal kontrakt do konca sezóny s možnosťou predĺženia. Beye pôsobil predtým vo Francúzskom Red Star, najprv ako asistent trénera. V sezóne 2023/24 sa stal hlavným trénerom a napokon dosiahol prechod do Stade Rennes.
Rennes, účastník Ligue 1, zaznamenal pod vedením Sampaoliho stratu v strede tabuľky. Aktuálna sériou štyroch prehier a 16. miesto spôsobilo, že klub ukončil spoluprácu s Argentínčanom.
