Strasbourg reach agreement to sign Borussia Dortmund's Soumaïla Coulibaly
Borussia Dortmund recalled Coulibaly from his loan spell at Brest and is a part of the squad that is partaking in the FIFA Club World Cup. However, the central-defender is only a bit-part player in Niko Kovač's squad and is yet to make an appearance in the US.

Coulibaly joined Borussia Dortmund from Paris Saint-Germain in 2021 after impressing for the Parisien club's youth teams, rejecting a move to Marseille and Bayern Munich in favour of Dortmund. A loan spell at Standard Liege followed while a move to Burnley collapsed last summer, which paved the way for Brest to sign the defender on a season-long loan deal, which resulted in Champions League football.

Mourinho's Fenerbahce rallies with 5 goals to beat Feyenoord in Champions League qualifying
ISTANBUL, Turkey (AP) — Jose Mourinho's Fenerbahce surged into the Champions League qualifying playoffs by overturning a two-goal deficit on Tuesday against Robin van Persie-coached Feyenoord. Fenerbahce had lost 2-1 in the Netherlands last week and fell further behind in the second leg of the third qualifying round clash when Feyenoord defender Tsuyoshi Watanabe scored the opener in the 41st minute. Mourinho's team rallied quickly with two goals before halftime — the second by Colombia forward Jhon Durán, on a season-long loan from Saudi club Al Nassr — on the way to a 5-2 win Tuesday. Fenerbahce advanced 6-4 on aggregate score. Fenerbahce will host Benfica or Nice in the first leg of the playoff round next week with a place in the lucrative 36-team league phase at stake. Benfica started the second leg against Nice with a 2-0 lead at home later Tuesday. Rangers advanced to the playoffs 4-2 on aggregate against Viktoria Plzen despite a 2-1 loss Tuesday in the Czech Republic. The Scottish club will host the first leg of its playoff next week against Club Brugge or Salzburg. Russian-owned Pafos, the champion of Cyprus, beat Dynamo Kyiv of Ukraine 2-0 to advance 3-0 on aggregate. Copenhagen beat its near neighbor Malmo 5-0, one week after a scoreless draw on the other side of the Oresund Bridge that connects Denmark and Sweden. Copenhagen's reward is a two-legged playoff against Swiss champion Basel. ___ AP soccer: The Associated Press
