Club in "talks" with £140k-a-week Liverpool star as exit "gains momentum"

A “quality” Liverpool player is now reportedly in talks with another club about a move there this summer, with the situation said to be “gaining momentum” currently.

The latest on Isak to Liverpool

The Reds’ pursuit of Newcastle United striker Alexander Isak is the big talking point at the moment, as the Premier League champions look to get an incredible piece of transfer business over the line.

Liverpool have already seen a first bid of £110m rejected by the Magpies, and while a second offer is yet to be tabled, it may well happen once Newcastle have signed a replacement.

RB Leipzig striker Benjamin Sesko appears to be their priority target to lead the line instead of Isak, but the Slovenian now has to choose between them and Manchester United.

From a Liverpool perspective, they will clearly hope that Sesko opts to move to St James’ Park, in terms of aiding their efforts to bring in the Swede this summer. If that does happen, it will help pave the way for other Reds attackers to move on before the new season gets underway, and a key update has emerged regarding one such player.

Liverpool star in talks over Saudi Pro League move

According to journalist Sacha Tavolieri on X, Liverpool striker Darwin Nunez is in talks with Saudi Pro League club Al-Hilal about a summer move, with an Andfield exit “gaining momentum”.

Assuming the Reds do end up signing Isak, or an alternative for that matter, this summer feels like the right time for Nunez to leave, even though Jurgen Klopp spoke positively about him in the past.

“He loves to play for this team together with these boys and has quality coming out of his ears, to be honest. Is he at his absolute peak in general? Not now for us. But can he develop? Yes. Is he a threat all the time? Yes.”

The £140,000-a-week Nunez is a popular figure among the fans, due to his character and work ethic, but the brutal reality is that his finishing is still erratic after three years at Liverpool, as is his all-round game.

Liverpool may just be in luck…

For that reason, a move to Al-Hilal would be ideal for the Reds, allowing them to cash in on the 26-year-old and hopefully sign a huge upgrade in Isak.

Nida Dar, Aliya Riaz lose PCB central contracts; Fatima Sana promoted to Category A

Eyman Fatima, Anoosha Nasir, Sidra Nawaz and Shawaal Zulfiqar also miss out on contracts this season

Aliya Riaz and Nida Dar have been left out of PCB’s central contracts list•ACC

Former captain Nida Dar and Aliya Riaz have been omitted from the PCB’s new batch of central contracts announced on Saturday. Sixteen players were announced in the new contracts, with Fatima Sana, who took over from Dar as captain, moving up to Category A.Dar was in Category A in last year’s contracts, while Riaz had been demoted to Category B, though their omissions are not entirely unexpected. As well as dwindling form, there are believed to have been concerns about their attitude within the team set-up that were discussed with PCB hierarchy.Eyman Fatima, Anoosha Nasir, Sidra Nawaz and Shawaal Zulfiqar also miss out on contracts this season, while Bismah Maroof’s retirement earlier this year means she no longer features. The board said, “these players will remain available for selection, as the PCB shifts its focus towards developing the next generation of cricketers in alignment with the ICC’s Women’s FTP (Future Tours Programme) for 2025-29.”Getty Images

Twenty players were awarded two-year contracts last year, with a significant pay bump, but with the proviso that performances would be reassessed after a year.Sana’s promotion is a reward for a series of outstanding all-round performances in the run-up to, and at the T20 World Cup in the UAE. Pakistan beat Sri Lanka at the tournament but lost their three other group games to India, Australia and eventual champions New Zealand.Muneeba Ali, the wicketkeeper-batter, has also been promoted to Category A, joining Sidra Amin who retains her position. Gull Feroza and Rameen Shamim return to the central-contracts list for the first time since 2018 and 2022-23 respectively, while Tasmia Rubab is included for the first time.The contracts have been pending approval for some time now, having run out at the end of July. Players, however, will be paid backdated amounts from then. The delay in the contracts is part of a general trend of upheaval and uncertainty in Pakistan women’s cricket where the PCB has struggled to get projects off the ground. Most notable among them is the long-promised women’s PSL, which Ramiz Raja first promised as chairman nearly three years ago but is yet to materialise. Tania Mallick, Head of Women’s Cricket since October 2021, told ESPNcricinfo earlier this year she expected a women’s PSL to happen within the next 12 months. Last month, however, she quit the role, with no signs of that tournament being introduced in the near future.”The 2024-25 central contracts reflect our forward-looking strategy as we prepare for the new ICC Women’s Future Tours Programme,” the PCB’s new Chief Operating Officer Sumair Ahmad Syed said. “By further investing in established players through significantly enhanced retainers and offering clear pathways to the emerging cricketer, we aim to strike a balance between nurturing future stars and sustaining competitiveness at the highest level.”Pakistan contracts list:
Category A: Fatima Sana, Muneeba Ali and Sidra Amin
Category B: Nashra Sundhu, Sadia Iqbal
Category C: Diana Baig, Omaima Sohail
Category D: Ghulam Fatima, Gull Feroza, Najiha Alvi, Rameen Shamim, Sadaf Shamas, Syeda Aroob Shah, Tasmia Rubab, Tuba Hassan, Umm-e-Hani

جرافنبيرخ قبل مواجهة ليفربول وتشيلسي: لا نملك أي خيار أمامهم.. ونفتقد لاعبًا مهمًا

أكد ريان جرافنبيرخ، نجم نادي ليفربول، أهمية مواجهة فريقه اليوم السبت أمام تشيلسي في الدوري الإنجليزي الممتاز.

تشيلسي سوف يستضيف نظيره ليفربول مساء اليوم السبت على ملعب ستامفورد بريدج، وذلك في إطار قمة الجولة السابعة من الدوري الإنجليزي الممتاز.

ويدخل ليفربول لقاء اليوم بهدف تحقيق الفوز، خصوصًا بعد الهزيمتين المتتاليتين التي منى بهم الريدز أمام كريستال بالاس 2-1 يوم السبت الماضي في الدوري الإنجليزي الممتاز، ثم أمام جالطة سراي بنتيجة 1-0 في دوري أبطال أوروبا.

وقال جرافنبيرخ في تصريحات لموقع ليفربول الرسمي: “بالطبع خسارة فريق مثل ليفربول مرتين متتاليتين أمر سيء، لكنني أعتقد أننا حللنا الأمر جيدًا والآن تشيلسي بانتظارنا، لذا سنستعد لمواجهة تشيلسي ونبذل قصارى جهدنا للفوز بالمباراة”.

وأضاف جرافنبيرخ في حديثه: ”بالطبع الخسارة مرتين ليست بالأمر الجيد، لكن ما قلته هو أننا سنبذل قصارى جهدنا للفوز وسنستعد جيدًا ونبذل قصارى جهدنا، هذا هو كل ما يمكننا فعله”.

وأوضح: “أحيانًا تسير الأمور في صالحنا وأحيانًا لا، هذه المرة لم تكن كذلك لكننا خلقنا العديد من الفرص ضد جالطة سراي ولم نستغلها، لكنني متأكد من أننا سنفعل في المستقبل وأعلم أننا سنخرج من هذا الموقف بكل تأكيد”.

وأردف الدولي الهولندي عن مستوى تشيلسي: “نعلم أن تشيلسي يمتلك فريقًا جيدًا، ولاعبين أكفاء وأعلم أن المباراة ستكون صعبة، إنها في الواقع أول مباراة لي في ستامفورد بريدج، لم ألعب هناك بعد لذا أتطلع إليها بشوق وسنستعد جيدًا”.

وعن إصابة أليسون بيكر، حارس مرمى ليفربول، واصل جرافنبيرخ: “نعلم أن غياب أليسون خسارة كبيرة فهو بالنسبة لي، أفضل حارس مرمى في العالم”.

وقال: ”لكننا نعلم أن جيورجي أظهر بالفعل جودته وهو جيد جدًا في التدريبات، أعلم أنه سيقدم لنا أداءً رائعًا. أنا سعيد من أجله لأنه سيخوض مباراته الأولى في الدوري الإنجليزي الممتاز، وأتطلع إليه بشوق”.

وعن ترشيح هدفه ضد إيفرتون لجائزة أفضل هدف في شهر سبتمبر بالدوري الإنجليزي أضاف جرافنبيرخ: “لم أسجل في الموسم الماضي، والآن سجلت هدفين هذا الموسم، وكان هدفي ضد إيفرتون أيضًا هدفًا رائعًا. من الرائع أن أكون مرشحًا”.

وأردف: “المبادئ لا تزال كما هي كما في الموسم الماضي، الآن لدي بعض الحرية في الملعب وأستطيع التقدم للأمام، لكن يجب أن يشغل لاعب خط الوسط المهاجم لاعبًا آخر، يجب أن يكون هناك لاعب في هذا المركز ثم أستطيع التقدم للأمام”.

واختتم: “من الجيد أن أتمتع بحرية التقدم للأمام قليلًا، ولكن إذا تقدمت للأمام يجب أن يكون هناك لاعب يغطي مكاني، لذا الأمور تغيرت هذا الموسم”.

Nottingham Forest submit £25m+ bid for "elite" star, personal terms agreed

Nottingham Forest have now submitted a formal £25m+ offer for an “elite” midfielder, who has already struck an agreement on personal terms, according to a report.

Forest stepping up midfielder pursuit after Europa League verdict

The Tricky Trees have controversially been admitted to next season’s Europa League, as a result of issues surrounding multi-club ownership at Crystal Palace, with Eagles chairman Steve Parish putting out a strong statement after the verdict.

Parish said: “The decision by Uefa and followed by the Court of Arbitration for Sport shows that sporting merit is rendered meaningless. It appears that certain clubs, organisations and individuals have a unique privilege and power.”

Parish has previously suggested that Forest are to blame for Palace’s demotion, but Evangelos Marinakis is unlikely to care too much, given that his side are now set to embark on a Europa League campaign next season.

Consequently, Nottingham Forest may now also be better-placed to attract some exciting new players, and a new midfielder is of particular interest, with Manchester City’s James McAtee emerging as a major target.

Not only are Nuno Espirito Santo’s side eager to sign an attacking midfielder, but they are also looking to bring in a player capable of operating in a deeper role, with it recently being revealed they are in active talks over a deal for AC Milan’s Yunus Musah.

There has now been a new update on Forest’s pursuit of Musah, with a report from TEAMtalk revealing they have now tabled an official offer of £25.9m including bonuses, which is close to the Italian club’s asking price.

A dream for McAtee: Nottingham Forest plot swoop for "explosive" £40m star

The promising talent would be an excellent signing for Nottingham Forest.

ByJack Salveson Holmes Aug 12, 2025

Milan are looking to hold out for just over £30m, which means the two clubs aren’t too far apart, and should a fee be agreed, personal terms could be a formality, as an agreement in principle has already been reached on a deal until 2030.

With a move to Napoli now off the cards, the midfielder is open to a move to the Premier League, and the Tricky Trees could even slightly increase their bid to get a deal over the line.

"Elite" Musah could excel at the City Ground

The 47-cap USA star clearly has all the attributes of a top midfielder, having received very high praise from football talent scout Jacek Kulig for his performances at international level.

Still only 22-years-old, the New-York born midfielder already has plenty of experience at the top level, making 80 appearances for AC Milan, while also featuring seven times in the Champions League last season.

With Forest set to embark on a Europa League campaign next season, Nuno could do with bringing in players who have experience in big matches, and Musah certainly fits the bill.

Hazlewood likely to miss rest of India series with calf strain

He was only able to send down one over before leaving the field early on the fourth day at the Gabba

Josh Hazlewood is likely to miss the remainder of the Test series against India after suffering a calf strain during warm-ups on the fourth day in Brisbane meaning Scott Boland will be set to return to the side for the Boxing Day Test at the MCG.Hazlewood, who returned in this game after missing Adelaide with a side strain, was late entering the field at the start of play on Tuesday, having spent time talking with head coach Andrew McDonald and physio Nick Jones, then looked laboured when he came into the attack, barely topping 131kph which included a wide long hop first ball that was cut away by KL Rahul.During the drinks break which followed that over, Hazlewood was part of a lengthy conversation with Pat Cummins, Steven Smith and the physio before he walked off the field.Cricket Australia initially said he had “calf awareness” and he went for scans which confirmed the severity of the injury.”He’s pretty despondent,” Daniel Vettori, Australia’s assistant coach, said. “Felt it this morning in warm-ups, gave it a good crack, it’s just unfortunate for him to come back, put so much effort after another injury with the side strain, then to pick up a calf strain here, particularly in these circumstances is really tough on him.”Brendan Doggett and Sean Abbott have been part of the squad in this series, when they were initially called up as cover in Adelaide after Hazlewood was ruled out, and would likely head the queue of replacements. Western Australia pair Lance Morris and Jhye Richardson are still early in their comebacks to red ball cricket and the domestic season has now switched into BBL mode.Australia were trying to force victory between frequent rain delays in Brisbane with Pat Cummins and Mitchell Starc putting in significant stints in the absence of Hazlewood but India’s last-wicket stand between Jasprit Bumrah and Akash Deep denied them the chance of enforcing the follow on.Vettori confirmed that despite being a bowler down that option would have been taken and, given the lighter workloads in Adelaide and regular rain breaks, there was confidence that Starc and Cummins would be able to manage the overs.Hazlewood had returned to the side for this Test after a side strain ruled him out of Adelaide. His latest injury opens the door for Boland to return to the side at the MCG, the venue where he claimed a remarkable 6 for 7 on debut against England in 2021-22. Cummins had flagged the potential for Boland to play a further role in the series when he missed out in Brisbane.”[We told him] it’s about preparing for the MCG because there’s a good chance we might need you,” he said. “History suggests there’s always some form of natural attrition throughout a Test series. A good thing [is], he’s probably played a Test earlier in the series than he maybe thought. Showed that his standard’s still super high. [It’s] about trying to set him up for the last two Test matches.”While selection is not part of Vettori’s remit, he acknowledged the decision would probably be a simple one. “Fortunately I don’t have to worry about that, but Boland speaks for himself,” he said. “The way he bowled in Adelaide, the way he’s consistently been the back-up seamer and every single time he’s been asked to step up, particularly in Australia, he’s been outstanding so think that would be the logical thing to conclude.”Hazlewood previously suffered a mild calf strain earlier in the year which kept him out of the T20Is against Scotland and England. The Perth Test against India was his 10th consecutive match following a frustrating couple of years where he was hit by a series of injuries while also being left out due to conditions on the subcontinent. Overall, Hazlewood has missed 18 of Australia’s last 35 Tests dating back to the 2021-22 Ashes.Hazlewood’s next opportunity to play Tests could come in Sri Lanka from late January although conditions could mean he is surplus to requirements if Australia pack their line-up with spinners. After that there’s the possibility of the World Test Championship final in early June should Australia qualify ahead of a three-match tour of West Indies that is expected to start later that month

Leeds now set to submit bid for £22m star who's become a "different player"

Leeds United are in the market for Premier League firepower and could now be about to step up their pursuit of a forward who proved his worth last term, according to a report.

Leeds United set to welcome Dominic Calvert-Lewin

After Lukas Nmecha joined earlier this summer, Leeds are set to sign free agent Dominic Calvert-Lewin after the expiration of his contract at Everton ahead of the competitive season.

Of course, there is a scenario where he could make his debut in an emotionally-charged encounter against the Toffees on Monday, where Daniel Farke will want his side to impose themselves at Elland Road to get off to a flying start.

Everton's DominicCalvert-Lewincomes on as a substitute

Finally, Leeds have added some Premier League experience to their strikeforce after Farke’s demand to secure more attacking reinforcements, and there could well be more to come if his words after last weekend’s draw against AC Milan are anything to go by.

He stated: “In comparison to our Championship squad, we have not improved the offence. To have a squad capable to survive in the top flight, we need to strengthen. In offence, we need some top-class signings, not just numbers.”

Leicester City’s Bilal El Khannouss could also join Leeds to provide an element of creativity. Nevertheless, the Whites are far from the only club in the race for the Moroccan international.

With the campaign now here and excitement brewing at Elland Road, it will be up to the 49ers to deliver on Farke’s needs to ensure the Yorkshire outfit are well-placed to retain their top-flight status, something that could be made easier if they can recruit their latest target.

Leeds United set to submit official bid to land Beto

According to Football Insider, Leeds United are set to submit a formal offer for Everton striker Beto that will come in at somewhere between £20 million to £22 million.

Last term, the Guinea-Bissau international was described as a “whole different player” by Troy Deeney after his introduction as a starter under David Moyes.

Instant upgrade on Calvert-Lewin: Leeds in talks to sign £43m "revelation"

Leeds are not done shopping for a new striker, even after Dominic Calvert-Lewin’s arrival…

2 ByJoe Nuttall Aug 14, 2025

Despite being a peripheral figure at the start of 2024/25, he ended the campaign with a respectable tally of 12 goals from 35 appearances as the Toffees secured a comfortable finish.

Eight of his strikes came inside 20 Premier League outings, meaning Leeds could inherit someone with a strike-rate of one goal every 2.5 matches in the top-flight, taking some of the burden off Joel Piroe, Nmecha and Calvert-Lewin, once the latter is officially announced.

While Beto’s arrival would leave Leeds with quite a few striking options, there is no doubt he would only serve to improve their chances of staying in the Premier League.
