🚨 Reports: Deal done, Liverpool offload flop for over £50 million
There's still a lot going on in Liverpool. After the Reds reportedly signed Florian Wirtz and Hugo Ekitike for well over 200 million euros in the summer, players are now being actively sold. As Florian Plettenberg reports, the departure of striker Darwin Nunez is now said to be confirmed. Fabrizio Romano also shortly afterwards made similar statements about 'X'. In addition to Luis Díaz, who moved to FC Bayern Munich, Darwin Núñez is now also leaving. According to the latest reports, the attacker is set to move to Al-Hilal for 50 million euros plus bonuses. A surprisingly high sum, right? Since the Uruguayan came to LFC in 2022 for 85 million euros, he has only scored 26 goals in 95 games and largely fell short of expectations. Well, money is not the most important thing in the Saudi Pro League, as we know. This article was translated into English by Artificial Intelligence.

Trump Weighs Getting Involved in New York City Mayor Race
President Trump may have moved out of New York City, but he has privately discussed whether to intercede in its fractious race for mayor to try to stop Zohran Mamdani, the Democratic nominee, according to eight people briefed on the discussions. In recent weeks, Mr. Trump has quizzed a Republican congressman and New York businessmen about who in the crowded field of candidates, which includes Mayor Eric Adams and former Gov. Andrew M. Cuomo, has the best chance of beating Mr. Mamdani, the leftist front-runner. The president has been briefed by Mark Penn, a pollster who has worked for Bill and Hillary Clinton, and Andrew Stein, a former New York City Council president and decades-long friend of Mr. Trump, on a range of polling that showed Mr. Cuomo could still be competitive as an independent candidate. Both men have pushed Mr. Cuomo as the best candidate despite his loss in the Democratic primary, including in a recent Wall Street Journal op-ed. One of Mr. Penn's firms did extensive work for a pro-Cuomo super PAC in the primary. And in a previously undisclosed call in recent weeks, Mr. Trump spoke about the race directly with Mr. Cuomo, an old associate and foil, according to three people briefed on the call, who were not authorized to discuss it. The possibility that Mr. Trump would somehow involve himself in New York politics could inject a new element of unpredictability into an already fractious contest. It remains far from certain how or if Mr. Trump will ultimately make his presence felt. And in recent weeks, some Republicans close to the administration have indicated that the president might simply sit it out. But donors and allies of Mr. Adams and Mr. Cuomo have pined for weeks for the president to intervene, arguing that Mr. Trump, a lifelong New Yorker with strong views about how the city should be run, could play a role in consolidating the fractured anti-Mamdani vote behind a single opponent. This group strongly opposes Mr. Mamdani, a democratic socialist who outflanked Mr. Cuomo in the primary with a message about freezing rents and raising taxes on the rich. Want all of The Times?

Credit card debt is higher than ever: 5 ways to reduce what you owe now
Credit card debt is continuing to climb, and it's not just inching upward, either. Americans added $27 billion to their credit card balances in the second quarter of 2025, pushing the total credit card debt tally to a staggering record-high $1.21 trillion nationwide, according to the latest quarterly Household Debt and Credit Report from the Federal Reserve Bank of New York. That represents a 2.3% increase from the previous quarter and an uptick of nearly 6% compared to this time last year. And it's not just the rising credit card balances that are cause for concern. According to the report, nearly 7% of credit card balances have also transitioned into delinquency over the last year. That's a signal that more borrowers are struggling to keep up with their credit card payments as interest rates remain stubbornly high at nearly 22% on average. Rates that high can cause card balances to balloon quickly, especially as the compound interest charges accrue. With balances at near-record highs and delinquencies on the rise, and with economic uncertainty continuing to loom, now is the time to take action. Luckily, there are several strategies you can use to get ahead of your debt and start to regain control of your finances. Find out more about the debt relief strategies available to you now. If you want to lower your credit card debt, the following strategies could help you do that: If you have multiple credit card balances and decent credit, a debt consolidation loan might be a good way to simplify your payments and potentially lower your interest rate. With this method, you take out a personal or debt consolidation loan and use the proceeds to pay off your credit card balances. You're then left with just one fixed monthly payment to manage. The key to lowering your debt here, though, is securing a lower interest rate than what you're currently paying. Lowering your rate by even a few percentage points can save you hundreds or even thousands of dollars in interest charges over time, especially if you're carrying large balances. Explore your debt relief options and find out how to get started today. Another option for reducing interest is taking advantage of a 0% balance transfer offer for an introductory period, typically between 12 and 21 months. This wipes out the interest charges for the full introductory period, which can be a smart strategy if you're confident you can pay off most or all of your balance before the promotional period ends. Just keep in mind that most balance transfer cards charge a balance transfer fee, which is typically 3% to 5% of the transferred amount, so you'll want to do the math to ensure that the savings are worth the extra costs. You should also understand that if you don't pay off the balance in time, you'll be subject to interest charges at the card's regular rate. For disciplined borrowers, though, this can be a highly effective short-term solution. If you're already struggling to keep up with your credit card payments or your accounts have been sent to collections, debt settlement, also referred to as debt forgiveness, might offer a way out. With this approach, you or a professional debt settlement company acting on your behalf negotiate with your creditors to offer a lower lump-sum settlement in return for the remainder of your balance being forgiven. While this strategy results in paying 30% to 50% less on average, it's not without its drawbacks. Debt settlement can negatively impact your credit score in the short term, for example, and not all creditors are willing to settle, either. But if you're overwhelmed by unmanageable balances and delinquent accounts, it could be a lifeline worth exploring. If you're not sure which direction to take, a credit counseling agency can help review your financial situation and walk you through your options. These agencies offer free or low-cost consultations and may recommend a debt management plan if you qualify. A debt management plan consolidates your debts into a single monthly payment, and the credit counselor will work to try and lower your interest rates and have fees waived. While you won't be settling the debt for less than you owe, this route may make your payments more manageable, reduce your interest charges and help you avoid falling further behind. Don't underestimate the power of making a simple phone call, either. Most credit card companies would rather work with you on a solution than get nothing if you file for bankruptcy, so they're often willing to negotiate payment plans, reduce interest rates or put a temporary pause on your payment obligations if you're facing a hardship. So, call your issuer and explain your situation honestly to see if they can provide some breathing room while you get your finances back on track. Credit card debt is hitting new highs, and delinquencies are rising alongside it, but you don't have to stay stuck in a cycle of minimum payments and mounting interest. Whether you're behind on payments or just feeling the pinch of high rates, there are real, actionable ways to reduce what you owe. So, compare your options and find the right strategy to start digging out of debt and take control of your financial future.
