US keeper Turner joins Lyon from Notts Forest, loaned to MLS
Lyon paid eight million euros ($9.2 million) for the 31-year-old who has 52 caps for the United States.
A 10 per cent profit-sharing interest on the capital gain of a potential future transfer is included in the transaction.
Turner's loan to the New England Revolution comes with a three-million euro purchase option.
Turner moved to Forest from Arsenal in Aug 2023 and played 21 times in all competitions before heading to Crystal Palace in the 2024/25 season, in a year-long loan deal.
He helped Crystal Palace win their first major trophy after beating Manchester City 1-0 in the FA Cup final in Wembley in May.
Lyon also announced it had loaned Croatian international defender Duje Caleta-Car to Spanish club Real Sociedad for one year with a four million euro purchase option.
The 28-year-old Caleta-Car, who has 33 caps, arrived at Lyon from Southampton in 2023. — AFP

Machuca thanks his grandma for Malaysia shirt
KUALA LUMPUR: His footie-loving granny worked hard to get him to play for a national team in the other side of the world. The Argentine-born Imanol Machuca attributed his move to Harimau Malaya to his Malaysian grandmother. In an interview with Spanish media outlet, Sabado Velez recently, the 25-year-old winger said his Malaysia debut was a "unique experience", one made possible by his grandmother. Machuca played a key role as Malaysia thrashed Asean powerhouse Vietnam 4-0 in an Asian Cup qualifier at the National Stadium in Bukit Jalil on June 10. In retrospect, Machuca thanked his grandmother for making his Malaysia dream a reality. "I got a phone call from my grandmother. She had been working on this (joining Malaysia) for a while. I had been talking about it for some time, but never managed to make it happen. Thank God, this year I was finally able to play. It was incredible." Speaking ahead of the Copa Libertadores round of 16, Machuca, who plays for Velez Sarsfield FC in Argentina, also talked about his Malaysian adventure. "There's a lot of passion in Malaysia. When the announcement (about Machuca playing for Malaysia) was made, the post got 15,000 likes and so many comments with the Malaysian flag. I want to send a big hug to all Malaysians," he said. Machuca said he was charmed in his first visit to Malaysia. "It's a beautiful country. Economically stable, the cities are very nice, although the weather is quite humid and hot. "People are friendly. They treated me well, and the culture is impressive. "I have been in contact with the coach (Peter Cklamovski). I hope they will call me again. I had a great experience in the Asian Cup qualifiers. We did well and I hope we can win our next two games (against Laos on Oct 9 and 14)."

TSG's de Bod scores top-20 finish at Circuito de Getxo
KUALA LUMPUR: Terengganu Cycling Team (TSG) concluded their Spanish classics campaign on a positive note at the Circuito de Getxo-Memorial Hermanos Otxoa race in the Basque Country yesterday (Aug 3). TSG's Stefan de Bod was again their stand out man as he crossed the line 15th (+31s), which was the highest placed finish by a TSG rider in Spain this year. The South African had placed 24th at the Ordiziako Classic last week where he also claimed the Most Combative Rider award. TSG started the 172.2 kilometre race, which started in Bilbao and ended in Getxo, with only five men as Vadim Pronskiy was ill while Anatolii Budiak had left Spain for the Trans-Himalaya Race in China which starts on Aug 7. TSG's Mathias Breghnoj concluded Circuito de Getxo in 46th (+3:49s) though Kee Zhe Yie, Nur Aiman Rosli and Nur Aiman Zariff did not finish. There were no surprises as heavyweights UAE Team Emirates-XRG notched a one-two finish through Isaac del Toro (3:59:11s) and Juan Ayuso (+20s). Cofidis' Alex Aranburu settled for third after being pipped by Ayuso. TSG had competed in three one-day races in Spain over the past two weeks - Terres de L´Ebre Classic (July 22), Ordiziako Classic (July 25) and Circuito de Getxo - which are all UCI 1.1 races.

Marchand says 'passion' burns bright on road to 2028 Olympics
SINGAPORE: Leon Marchand said his performances at the world championships proved he still had "a passion for swimming" after winning the 400m medley for his second gold in Singapore on Sunday. The French superstar took an extended break from swimming after wowing his home fans with four individual golds at the Paris Olympics last year. He announced his return in grand style in Singapore, smashing the 200m medley world record that had stood since 2011 on his way to gold. He completed the double with another imperious victory in the 400m IM, touching the wall in 4min 04.73sec, more than three seconds ahead of Japan's Tomoyuki Matsushita (4:08.32), with Russian Ilia Borodin (4:09.16) third. Marchand said his performances showed he still has the hunger to succeed on the long road towards the 2028 Los Angeles Olympics. "It's not perfect, because it's never perfect, but it's more than I expected, especially the world record in the 200m medley," said the 23-year-old. "It shows that I still have a passion for swimming, that I love it. "It's still what I like the most, and that I want to continue." Marchand started the final in lane one after a below-par performance in the morning heats, which saw him qualify seventh fastest. But normality was restored in the final as he took an early lead before obliterating his rivals as the race progressed. Marchand broke Michael Phelps's 400m IM world record two years ago in Japan but his time in Singapore was more than two seconds outside his best mark. "Physically, it was very difficult, more than usual," he said.
