Alexander Isak To Return To Newcastle United Training Camp Amid Transfer Saga: Report
Alexander Isak will rejoin Newcastle United's training after a solo stint at Real Sociedad. Newcastle rejected Liverpool's £110m bid, but Isak remains keen to leave. Alexander Isak is expected to return to the UK this week and rejoin Newcastle United's training setup following a solo stint at his former club Real Sociedad. The Swedish striker was working individually at the Zubieta training facility in the Basque Country but is now preparing to report back to Newcastle's base, as per reports from The Athletic. However, most of the first-team squad, along with manager Eddie Howe, are currently in Asia for the club's pre-season tour, which includes a high-profile friendly against Tottenham Hotspur in Seoul, South Korea. Newcastle Reject Liverpool's £110m Bid Isak's return coincides with a major development in his transfer saga. As first reported by The Athletic, Newcastle recently rejected a formal £110 million bid from Liverpool, who had expressed a strong interest in signing the 24-year-old this summer. The Merseyside club had initially made an informal approach earlier in July, suggesting they were prepared to go as high as £120 million, but stopped short of matching Newcastle's valuation, which is believed to be around £150 million. While Newcastle have made efforts to persuade Isak to stay — including offering him a new contract with a release clause effective from next summer — the striker's position has remained unchanged. Sources close to the club suggest Isak has made it clear for some time that he wishes to explore a move away from St James' Park. In a further indication of his intentions, Isak was excluded from the squad travelling to Asia for pre-season preparations. Instead, the forward opted to maintain his fitness privately in Spain, away from the spotlight, while continuing discussions around his future. Newcastle will return to the Champions League this season for the first time in two decades — a compelling prospect for most players, but one that may not be enough to keep Isak, who appears set on a move to a bigger European club. Newcastle have also attempted to lean on senior squad members to help sway Isak's decision, but to no avail so far. view comments Disclaimer: Comments reflect users' views, not News18's.

Nía Vásquez Cocora Shop
Our designs are a song to Ibiza, classic, sustainable, timeless Rooted in sustainability, femininity, and the free-spirited energy of Ibiza, Cocora Shop is a Spanish eco-luxury swimwear and summer lifestyle brand that celebrates conscious fashion with purpose and passion. What began as a Master's marketing project quickly evolved into a brand that blends timeless design with artisanal craftsmanship. Handcrafted by women in workshops across Colombia and Brazil, Cocora's collections are deeply inspired by nature, culture, and the founder's personal connection to Pachamama (Mother Earth). Speaking to Fibre2Fashion, Founder Nía Vásquez shares the story behind Cocora Shop, her design philosophy rooted in the spirit of Ibiza, the brand's commitment to ethical production, and how she's navigating the journey of building a sustainable, global label—one handmade piece at a time. What inspired the creation of Cocora Shop, and why Ibiza? Cocora Shop was born as a project for a master's degree in marketing. The product and designs developed a big passion that took us where we are today. Why Ibiza? Ibiza is my favourite place of the world and screams summer, exclusivity and style. How do your designs reflect the spirit and aesthetic of Ibiza? Our designs are a song to Ibiza, classic, sustainable, timeless. Our brand image reflects the special vibe and energy that you can only feel there, and that exact vibe is what you feel when you wear a Cocora. Sustainability is at the core of your brand. Can you walk us through your production process? We design in the most artisanal way. From shopping hardware from small producers to swimwear handmade only by women in our atelier, we pay special attention to every detail. We travel once a year to shop fabrics and products and from what we like we start the creating process and putting together our vision. Why did you choose Colombia and Brazil as the locations for your artisanal workshops? The quality of swimwear in both countries is well renowned, and the fit is truly unique, so it felt only natural to produce there. We are especially proud to be producing in our hometown in Colombia from this year onwards, and we could not be more excited about the positive impact this will have on the region. What steps do you take to ensure fair and ethical working conditions for the women who craft your garments? For us, it is very important to feel like a family, that is why all the people involved in our processes share brand and personal values with Cocora. This means we are always looking for new ways to improve our work environment and make our co-workers as happy as possible. How does your connection to Pachamama (Mother Earth) influence your creative and business decisions? It influences everything. From being fair, to planting one tree per purchase, or leaving and impact, our love for the planet is a big part of Cocora. Regarding creativity, there is not a more beautiful source to imagination than the earth. What materials do you use in your swimwear to ensure both luxury quality and sustainability? We are working in the present collection with Carvico fabrics, not only well known for their durability, but also because they are eco-friendly. We have no waste. We usually use the last cuts to make a third piece as a present to our customers. How does Cocora Shop eliminate the use of plastics and cardboard in packaging? Since our first year, we started using only fabric bags and recycled paper to wrap, eliminating boxes and cardboard labels that are not needed. What challenges have you faced while building a sustainable fashion brand, and how did you overcome them? Building a sustainable fashion brand comes with its own challenges. Producing sustainably requires greater investment, and for small brands like ours, it is often difficult to strike a balance between offering high quality and maintaining fair pricing. Fortunately, the public is becoming more informed and appreciative of the value behind such efforts, helping us gradually move towards our goals. What is next for Cocora Shop? Are you planning to expand your range or presence globally? Our core identity is to remain special, unique, and hard to find. We intend to expand gradually and thoughtfully, aiming to establish a presence in select, exclusive boutiques across all continents.

Tech executive ditches the American grind for a different 'pace of life' in France. Says, 'It's chaotic, but incredibly clarifying'
Jason Nellis , a 41-year-old tech executive, didn't just switch jobs or zip codes—he changed continents. This summer, the Washington D.C.-based father of two packed up his life and moved with his family to a town just outside Cannes, France, in search of something increasingly rare in American work culture: balance. His goal wasn't to escape the rat race, but to reimagine what it could look like altogether. In an interview with CNBC Make It , Nellis shared how the move—eight years in the making—took shape through spreadsheets, shared goals, and a very personal promise made at his wedding.

When Nellis first began dating his wife Jennifer, she had plans to relocate to Berlin for work. She stayed in San Francisco to give their relationship a chance, and in return, Nellis vowed to take her abroad for at least three to five years someday. That promise made it into their wedding vows. Years later, after the birth of their first son, Kit, the couple began seriously considering the move. They ruled out Southeast Asia and Australia in favor of Europe—mainly to stay within reach of U.S. business hours and family ties. 'France was just the right combination of standard of living, quality of education available to us, and access to places like Cannes,' Nellis told CNBC.

Between visas, flights, and international shipping, they spent around $20,000. They sold their car and most of their furniture, funding the dream one Marketplace post at a time. Since landing in France in May, they've been living a nomadic European summer—traveling through Spain, Austria, Switzerland, and Germany. Their budget? $12,000 to $14,000 a month, roughly what they lived on in the U.S., but now with more scenery and less stress. Bringing the Office to Europe Nellis still clocks in—just later than before. His workday now begins at 3 p.m. and ends around 11 p.m. Central European Time, allowing him to overlap with colleagues back home. The trade-off? Unhurried breakfasts, hands-on parenting, and dinners with his sons, Kit and Ace. 'It's forced me to be much more judicious with my time,' he says, adding that their secret as working parents is a weekly sync meeting where they reassign responsibilities and rework schedules with total transparency.

Her clapback has the internet's attention Redefining Success In a LinkedIn post, Nellis reflected, 'Relocation didn't shrink my ambitions—it expanded them.' He's now driven by a new definition of success: not just upward movement, but global impact. The family's life in France isn't just about postcards and pastries. It's about exposing their children to new languages, cultures, and ways of thinking. "My older son will be fluent in French probably within a few months," he told CNBC Make It . "The younger one will probably grow up with it as a natural language." Why the Slow Lane Feels Right While many Americans dream of lower costs abroad, Nellis is more interested in a slower, richer rhythm of life. 'The U.S. is an economic powerhouse,' he says, 'but I don't know if it's always healthy for boundaries—or for family relationships.' What he hopes his sons will gain is not a better life, necessarily, but a broader one. One where career doesn't automatically dominate identity, and where culture is not an occasional supplement but a daily experience. In his own words, 'We moved to Europe—not for a vacation, but to change our lives.'
