## Jackson's Chelsea Future: A €115 Million Dilemma 

**Senegalese Striker Could Stay Despite Transfer Speculation**

Nicolas Jackson's future at Chelsea is hanging in the balance as the transfer window ticks down. While rumors have swirled about a potential departure, the Senegalese striker appears increasingly likely to stay with the Blues for another season.  

With the new Premier League season on the horizon, Jackson remains under contract until 2028 and could start the campaign at Stamford Bridge unless a late transfer emerges.

**Jackson's Chelsea Journey: High Expectations, Mixed Results**


Since arriving with significant expectations, Jackson has impressed with his tireless work rate, physical presence, and relentless runs. However, critics have pointed to inconsistencies in his finishing and decision-making in the final third. Despite scoring 13 goals in 34 appearances during the 2024/25 season,  Jackson's position has become more precarious with the arrival of new attacking talent like Liam Delap and Joao Pedro. The latter, particularly, shone during Chelsea's triumphant FIFA Club World Cup campaign, intensifying competition for starting spots.

**Chelsea Sets High Price Tag, Sours Transfer Interest**


Initially open to Jackson's departure, Chelsea has since cooled interested suitors by setting a hefty €115 million price tag – more than triple the €37 million they paid to acquire him in 2023.  This steep valuation has quickly deterred clubs like Napoli, AC Milan, and FC Barcelona who, despite initial interest, are unwilling to meet Chelsea's demands. As of yet, no club has submitted a bid close to Chelsea's asking price.

## Partey Sets Sail for Spain: Ghanaian Midfielder Joins Villarreal

**Veteran midfielder returns to La Liga after Arsenal stint.**

Thomas Partey is leaving the Premier League behind and returning to familiar territory in Spain. After spending three seasons with Arsenal, the Ghanaian midfielder has agreed to a two-year deal with Villarreal, according to multiple sources. 

Partey's journey with Arsenal began in 2022 when he transferred from Atlético de Madrid. He quickly established himself as a key player under manager Mikel Arteta, contributing significantly with 167 matches, 9 goals, and 7 assists.  Despite showcasing his talent and becoming an integral part of the Gunners' midfield, injuries hampered Partey's progress in recent times. With his contract expiring this summer, negotiations for an extension fell through, marking the end of his chapter in North London.

Seeking new challenges, Partey is returning to a league he knows well. The 32-year-old has reportedly already undergone a medical and could potentially make his debut for Villarreal against Arsenal in a friendly match at the Emirates Stadium on August 6th.

## Tottenham's Levy: Legacy Will Shine Brighter After I'm Gone

**Chairman Claims Stadium Construction His Greatest Achievement, Points to Global Recognition**


Daniel Levy, the longest-serving chairman in Premier League history, believes his true impact on Tottenham Hotspur will only be recognized after he steps down.  The 63-year-old, who has led the club since 2001, made this statement during an interview with Gary Neville on The Overlap.

Levy acknowledged that while opinions about him are divided among fans, he is proud of his legacy, particularly the construction of the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in 2019.  

"I think it’s one of those situations – when I’m not here I’m sure I’ll get the credit," Levy said. "When you come here and look at this wonderful building...and the fact that other clubs are now trying to copy what we’re doing, that should be a sign that maybe we did do something bold, and something right."

He considers the stadium his greatest achievement, calling it "a symbol of Tottenham Hotspur on the global map" and highlighting its positive economic impact on the local community.

**A Stadium Built for Innovation:** 

The multi-purpose stadium boasts a unique retractable football pitch, revealing a synthetic turf field beneath for NFL games, concerts, and other events. This innovative design generates substantial income and creates jobs in the surrounding area.

Levy's vision extends beyond the sporting arena, with Tottenham currently seeking a naming rights sponsor for the stadium. Reports indicate they are holding out for a record-breaking deal worth around £25 million per annum for 15 years, with a Saudi Arabian entity considered the frontrunner.

##  Saudi Star Joins French Club Lens on Loan

**Abdulhamid Seeks More Playing Time After Roma Stint**


Saud Abdulhamid, the 26-year-old Saudi right-back, has officially joined RC Lens on loan with an option to buy for a reported €2-3 million.  

The move comes after Abdulhamid struggled to secure regular playing time at AS Roma following his transfer from Al-Hilal last year for €2.5 million. In his lone season with the Italian club, he made just eight competitive appearances, scoring one goal and providing one assist.


Lens unveiled Abdulhamid in a unique way, presenting him in a video inspired by The Simpsons.  

"Saud Abdulhamid is Lensois," the club tweeted, alongside the video showcasing his arrival. 



While Roma had been in advanced talks to send Abdulhamid to Toulouse FC, those discussions fell through due to squad limitations regarding non-EU player slots.  

This transfer marks Abdulhamid's departure from Italy where he became the first ever Saudi Arabian player to feature in Serie A.

## Maddison's Nightmare: Brutal Knee Injury Rocks Tottenham Ahead of UEFA Super Cup Clash

**PSG vs. Spurs showdown looms large as key midfielder faces uncertain future.**


The stage is set for a dazzling UEFA Super Cup clash between PSG and Tottenham Hotspur on August 13th, with the reigning treble winners facing off against a newly energized Spurs side eager to prove themselves. While both teams have been busy strengthening their squads, a significant blow has struck Tottenham just days before the highly anticipated showdown.

**Midfielder's Second Knee Injury Casts Shadow Over Super Cup Hopes**


James Maddison, Tottenham’s star midfielder, suffered a knee injury during his team's 1-1 draw against Newcastle United on Sunday at the Seoul World Cup Stadium. The setback is particularly painful as it appears to be a recurrence of a previous knee injury sustained in a Europa League semi-final match last season.

"Sometimes life and football can be brutal but also sometimes very beautiful," said Tottenham manager Thomas Frank. "It was brutal what happened to Madders. It looks like a bad injury. We don’t know exactly the status of it. It didn’t look good."


Maddison, only recently recovered from his previous knee issue,  came on as a substitute in the second half but lasted just ten minutes before going down off the ball after Newcastle goalkeeper Martin Dubravka sent the ball out for a throw-in. 

**Tottenham Faces Double Blow: Son Also Set to Depart**


Adding to Tottenham's woes, team captain Son Heung-min is reportedly on the verge of joining Major League Soccer side LAFC. The transfer fee has been agreed upon, and personal terms have also been settled with the MLS club.  

With both Maddison and Son potentially sidelined for the Super Cup clash, PSG's already strong position as favorites has seemingly intensified.

## Rashford Reigns: Former Barcelona President Weighs In On Transfers and Camp Nou Delays

**Gaspart Believes New Signing Outshines Nico Williams; Champions League Remains Priority for Barcelona**

Former Barcelona president Joan Gaspart has shared his candid thoughts on the club's upcoming season, highlighting the excitement surrounding their ambition and new signings. 

"Barça excites me," he said. "What excites me most is the ambition; they started as they finished, the desire, with a similar style of play. We have a squad that has to bring a lot of joy, with important additions like the goalkeeper (Joan Garcia)."


While optimistic about another successful campaign, Gaspart keeps expectations realistic:  "In four days, we’ll be in the middle of the season, and I would sign the same as last year – if it could be with the Champions League," he stated. He acknowledged Barcelona's near-miss in Europe last season, losing to Inter Milan in the semifinals: "Last year, we came close; we were in the final for a few minutes. Other teams have also improved, but yes, the players know they owe the Champions League to their fans. I’d like to win it, but I’d also be happy with a season like the last one,” he added.

**Rashford vs Nico: A Clear Choice?**

Gaspart believes Barcelona's acquisition of Marcus Rashford surpasses missing out on Nico Williams.  "First of all, for me, Marcus Rashford is better than Nico. From here on, I don’t care what Inaki might say," he asserted. 

Despite this preference, Gaspart harbors no ill will towards Williams: “The player has used us in a good way – he’s gotten a good contract, and I’m happy for him. I don’t understand Athletic’s anger. I’ve signed many players from Bilbao like Zubizarreta and always got along with their president,” he said about Nico. "This is in the past. We have to focus on the season and trust the squad and the exceptional coach we have," he added.

**Camp Nou Construction: A Slow Return Home?**

Gaspart addressed the ongoing Camp Nou renovation project, which may delay the team's return to their iconic stadium beyond September.  "We want to return home as soon as possible, but there’s little talk about the economic consequences of playing at Camp Nou with more people instead of Montjuic," he said.


He emphasized the stark difference in capacity: "From 60,000 season ticket holders to 15,000 at Montjuic – the numbers are crystal clear." Gaspart attributed the delays to strict regulations imposed by the City Council: "It’s not up to us. It’s the firefighters’ decision, the city council. Rules have to be followed. The president should show the passion that members want, but sometimes dates are set that can’t be met – and that’s misleading," he stated. 


"I’ve told the president to say we’ll return when circumstances allow, because it depends on the council’s discretion. Let’s not commit to something we can’t control,” Gaspart concluded.

## Botafogo Aims for Victory as Danilo Prepares for Debut Against Second-Place Cruzeiro

**Sunday's Brazilian Championship clash at Nilton Santos Stadium pits sixth-place Botafogo against second-place Cruzeiro.** 

Botafogo enters the match on a high note, fresh off a 2-0 victory over Bragantino in the Copa do Brasil round of 16.  While they drew 1-1 with Corinthians in their last Brasileirão outing, the Rio de Janeiro side boasts 26 points and is eager to climb the table.

Cruzeiro, however, seeks to regain its winning form after a three-game winless streak consisting of two draws and one loss against Ceará and Corinthians in the league, along with a draw against CRB in the Copa do Brasil. Despite this slump, the Minas Gerais team remains within striking distance of the league leaders, trailing Flamengo by just two points with 34 points.

**Botafogo Coach Davide Ancelotti retains the core lineup from previous matches.** The spotlight will be on midfielder Danilo, Botafogo's most expensive signing ever, who could make his official debut coming off the bench after a period of physical reconditioning.

**Cruzeiro faces its own tactical challenges with right-back Fagner sidelined due to injury.**  William steps into the starting eleven in his place. Coach Leonardo Jardim also brings back Lucas Silva, Villalba, and Matheus Pereira to the lineup.

## Milan Closes in on Young Boys Starlet Athekame for €10M

**Swiss Right-Back Eager to Make Move to Serie A**


Milan is poised to bolster its defensive line with the acquisition of talented Young Boys right-back Zachary Athekame. The club has been locked in negotiations, aiming to secure a deal worth between €7-8m plus performance-related bonuses, ultimately reaching the targeted €10m asking price.

While the transfer isn't finalized, sources indicate the agreement is nearing completion.  


**Atekame Pushes for Move**

Young Boys initially had no pressing need to sell Athekame, but Milan's interest sparked a shift in the situation. The young defender has expressed his strong desire to join the Rossoneri, viewing this opportunity as an invaluable stepping stone in his career.

**Affordable Alternative Secures Milan's Target**


The €10m price tag for Athekame represents a significant contrast to Milan's previous pursuit of Strasbourg's Guela Doué. The French club's €30m valuation forced the Italian side to explore alternative options, leading them to Athekame as a more attainable target.



Milan's relentless efforts in securing this deal demonstrate their commitment to strengthening their squad and capitalizing on promising talent.

**David Luiz Lands in Cyprus: Fan Frenzy Erupts**

Luiz's arrival on the island was met with overwhelming enthusiasm from Cypriot supporters.  Pictures and videos quickly flooded social media, capturing the moment the 38-year-old touched down in Cyprus.

Should they succeed, Luiz could find himself back on the European stage, showcasing his skills against some of the world's best teams. 


**An Unlikely Return:**

Luiz's return to Europe was considered improbable by many, with speculation suggesting he would finish his career in his homeland or perhaps explore opportunities in other leagues.

## Milan Sets Sights on Young Boys Star Athekame

**€7 Million Offer Submitted as Rossoneri Close In on Right-Back Target**


Serie A powerhouse AC Milan appears poised to land promising young talent Zachary Athekame from Swiss club Young Boys. 

After shifting focus away from Strasbourg's Gela Doue due to cost concerns, Milan has made significant strides in securing the highly-rated right-back. The Rossoneri have been closely monitoring Athekame for some time and have now submitted an offer of €7 million to Young Boys. 

Personal terms are reportedly already agreed upon. While Athekame was also presented to Udinese and Bologna, he has expressed a clear preference for joining Milan.  The club anticipates finalizing the deal as early as tomorrow. Bonuses are expected to play a crucial role in securing the transfer.

This acquisition could benefit significantly from Igli Tare's strong existing relationship with Young Boys, a factor that may prove particularly important next week should the transfer fee be accepted.
