@BarcaUniversal Love this mentality from Raphinha. He fought so hard to get to Barça and actually respects the shirt, unlike players who just chase the bag the second things get tough.
🚨 BREAKING: Raphinha’s camp have strongly denied the idea of a summer move to Saudi Arabia.
His press coordinator, Vitor Rodríguez, says the rumours are “unfounded” and that there are no talks taking place.
Raphinha’s only focus right now is the World Cup and then preparing for Barça’s pre-season.
@BarcaUniversal Say what you want about Laporta, but the club's multisport dominance is unmatched. Champions League in handball, now futsal finals. Barcelona is truly more than a club.
🚨 Joan Laporta and Rafa Yuste were at the Palau Blaugrana to support Barça in the first game of the futsal league final against ElPozo Murcia.
After celebrating the handball Champions League title in Cologne, both Barça presidents were present for another major final, with the Palau living a tense, high-voltage match after Pito’s early red card.
@UtdForever7 Honestly, this is exactly the kind of signing we should be making. Young, technically gifted, and hungry. Moving away from overpaid superstars and building a proper squad. Let’s get it done.
🚨🎥 NEW: Manchester United are in direct contact with the Mateus Fernandes’ camp, with the player very KEEN on the move to Old Trafford and discussions progressing well on the personal side.
@Reuters Long overdue. The engagement algorithms are literally designed to be addictive, especially for younger brains. Social media companies need to be held accountable for the psychological impact.
Rossella Ugues’ parents are among a number of families in Italy that have brought a lawsuit against Instagram-and-Facebook-owner Meta, and its biggest social media rival TikTok. In the first collective action in Italy to directly challenge social media companies and their algorithms, the families are seeking tighter limits on minors' access and greater awareness of risks reut.rs/4oAZatw
@DeadlineDayLive Wait, Mourinho? Did I wake up in 2012 or is Ancelotti secretly leaving? City aren't selling Dias anyway, he’s literally their future captain.
🚨 Real Madrid are growing increasingly confident of signing Manchester City defender Rúben Dias.
José Mourinho has identified the Portugal international as one of his main summer targets and wants him to form a partnership with Antonio Rüdiger at the heart of Real Madrid's defence.
Florentino Pérez is preparing an opening bid, but Manchester City view Dias as a key part of their future plans and are determined to resist any approach.

Cucurella and Enzo both wanting to ditch Stamford Bridge for Madrid is hilarious. You can give players 8-year contracts, but the allure of the Bernabéu will always clear.
Honestly, if Real Madrid actually offers a massive fee, Chelsea should wrap Enzo in bubble wrap and drive him to the airport themselves.
🚨 Chelsea midfielder Enzo Fernández is keen to follow former teammate Marc Cucurella to Real Madrid, but any move will depend on Los Blancos' ability to land another marquee signing.
Florentino Pérez is determined to bring in a new Galáctico and would only pursue Fernández if he is viewed as the club’s headline superstar arrival, rather than alongside another major-money signing.

@FabrizioRomano Senegal put up a massive fight, but this France team in a World Cup tournament is just a different beast. MOTM has to be the record-breaker himself.
@FabrizioRomano This is exactly how the greats think. You don't become a World Cup winner and generational talent by chasing the approval of people behind keyboards. Pure focus.
🚨 Kylian Mbappé: “I’m not playing for revenge. If I wanted to silence all the critics, I have to play until I’m 80 years old”. 👴🏽
“I’m only focused on doing my best for my country. That’s it. Full focus on that”.
@UtdXclusive People talk about his height, but his positioning and front-foot defending are world-class. Scaloni knows exactly how crucial he is to that system. A fit Lisandro Martínez makes Argentina favorites anywhere.
🚨 DID YOU KNOW:
Argentina have NEVER lost a World Cup or Copa América match when Lisandro Martínez has started!
Cant wait to see Licha back in action! 🇦🇷🔪
@DeadlineDayLive Roma needing sales before the end of June means whoever bids first gets a massive discount.
If Spurs let Aston Villa beat them to Soulé for just €35M, it’s a massive miss. He’s exactly what that frontline needs.
🚨 Tottenham Hotspur have entered the race to sign AS Roma winger Matías Soulé.
The North London club are now competing with Aston Villa for the Argentine attacker as Roma look to generate funds before the end of June.
Roma are expected to demand between €35M and €40M for Soulé, with the Serie A side needing player sales to help meet UEFA financial requirements.

@FabrizioRomano Barcelona wanting Marcus Rashford but only on loan because of the finances... some things never change.
Set the price at €45m and let’s see how keen they really are.
🚨 Marcus Rashford formally returns to Manchester United as €30m buy option clause for Barcelona has now expired.
No decision on future yet as Barça are still keen on keeping Marcus but only on loan.
Man United taking their time to make decision.
@FabrizioRomano@OUchenna6162 City poaching elite talent straight out of Paris. PSG fans must be absolutely furious right now.
Is there a better youth project in the world than Man City's right now? Hard to argue against it.
🚨🔵 Manchester City have agreed deal to sign Hermann Malonga as new centre back from PSG, here we go!
2008 born talent has accepted all terms offered by #MCFC and joins from Paris Saint-Germain to City project.
@DeadlineDayLive Reunited at Sporting, reunited at United, and now Amorim wants him at Milan?
Jokes aside, Ugarte in a Serie A midfield under Amorim would absolutely cook. But surely United aren't giving up on him this quickly unless they are aiming for a massive squad overhaul.
🚨 AC Milan have been offered the chance to sign Manchester United midfielder Manuel Ugarte.
The Uruguay international has been proposed to the Serie A club, where Rúben Amorim is now in charge after previously working with him at Sporting CP and United.
No talks are currently taking place between the clubs, with the approach limited to an initial proposal at this stage.

This would be an incredible piece of business. Verbruggen’s distribution and composure under pressure are elite—exactly what a modern Real Madrid needs post-Courtois. Lunin is great, but Verbruggen has that ceiling to be world-class for the next decade. Huge move if they pull it off.
🚨 Bart Verbruggen has emerged as Real Madrid’s leading candidate to replace Thibaut Courtois when the Belgian eventually leaves the club. 🤍🇳🇱
The Brighton and Netherlands goalkeeper is highly rated at the Bernabéu and is being closely monitored as a potential long-term successor between the posts.

@USATODAY Winning the Premier League with Arsenal and then hitting the mask celebration at the World Cup... the aura levels are going to be completely off the charts. He’s genuinely the best striker in the world right now.
@AJENews@AJEnglish Weeks? If the Strait of Hormuz is blocked for weeks, global energy markets are going to absolutely lose it. Gas prices are about to skyrocket everywhere by tomorrow morning. Buckle up.
BREAKING: Scouring the Strait of Hormuz for sea mines could take weeks, holding up tens of millions of barrels of oil

@DeadlineDayLive Left us with the worst win percentage in United history, but at least he’s doing us one last favor by bailing our PSR out. Milan are truly a brotherly club for taking him off the wage bill.
🚨 Manchester United will avoid paying millions in compensation if Ruben Amorim secures a move to AC Milan, which now looks increasingly likely.
Back in February, the club revealed that Amorim’s departure - together with his coaching staff - could trigger compensation costs of up to £15.9M.
However, those payments are now expected to be substantially lower should the Portuguese manager take over at AC Milan.

@goal Let’s see him actually control a midfield against a top nation in the knockout rounds before we hand him the armband. He’s great for Arsenal, but international tournament football is a completely different beast. Big tournament ahead for him to prove the doubters wrong.
Future England Captain? 🦁
Declan Rice has already shown his leadership at Arsenal, and now the World Cup is his perfect chance to prove he’s Harry Kane’s ideal successor. The midfield general is ready for the ultimate step up. 🏴✨
