Manchester United boost profit forecast after Europa League run lifts ticket sales
(Reuters) -Manchester United raised their annual core profit forecast on Friday as the club's strong performance in the Europa League drove ticket sales and broadcast revenue. United forecast adjusted core profit of between 180 million pounds ($244 million) and 190 million pounds for the year ending June, up from an earlier projection of between 145 million and 160 million pounds. Ticket sales jumped more than 50% to 44.5 million pounds in the three months to March as the club had a good run in the Europa League, before losing the finals to Tottenham Hotspur. United had their worst Premier League season since they were relegated in 1974 and hopes of participating in a European competition next season were dashed after they lost the Europa League final. "We had a difficult season in the Premier League, which we all know fell below our standards and we have a clear expectation of improvement next season," CEO Omar Berrada said in a statement. United's absence from European competitions, which are lucrative sources of broadcasting revenue, deals a huge blow to the club's future finances and has drawn anger and disappointment from fans worldwide. Jim Ratcliffe, who holds a stake of about 29% in the club and runs their football operations, has taken steps to revive the club's fortunes, including by cutting jobs, raising ticket prices and stopping free lunches at staff canteens. Those benefits are expected to be realised from the first quarter of the new fiscal year starting July, the club said on Friday. United reported a net loss of 2.7 million pounds for the three months ended March 31, compared with a loss of 71.5 million pounds a year earlier.

Barcelona transfers: Which players are most likely to leave this summer?
Barcelona are set for another interesting summer, with the desire to strengthen Hansi Flick's squad likely to meet some familiar complications. First of all, the club's long-running adventures in navigating La Liga's spending rules will undoubtedly play a prominent role (and for the latest on Barca's financial situation, follow this link). Advertisement Meanwhile, their major opening move of the transfer window is in pursuit of Espanyol's Joan Garcia. That Barca want to sign their city rivals' goalkeeper raises the question: what future role for club captain Marc-Andre ter Stegen? Might they try to move the German on? Let's start this list of the Barca players most likely to be sold this summer with a look at that very man. The situation around Ter Stegen could become one of the biggest sagas of Barcelona's summer. Barca want to sign Garcia, 24, to become their new starting goalkeeper. That questions Ter Stegen's place at the club. The 33-year-old German was voted Barca's captain last year and has a contract up until 2028. When he extended in 2023 — having hugely impressed as Xavi's team won La Liga — he agreed to salary deferrals that would help the club in meeting more immediate La Liga salary limit demands. This week, Ter Stegen spoke at a news conference before Germany's Nations League semi-final with Portugal (they lost 2-1 on Wednesday) and was asked about his position at Barca. He said he has no intention of leaving. 'Nobody at the club spoke with me about this situation, so I'm not worried,' he said. 'I know I will be at Barcelona next season.' Senior club sources — who, like all those consulted for this article, preferred to speak anonymously to protect their positions — say their desired plan for next season is to have Garcia as No 1. They also want Wojciech Szczesny, who has been offered a new two-year deal, as backup. They would like to sell Ter Stegen, but are also equally aware the German is entitled to stick with his current deal. In the article available through the link below, we cover the background to this situation in more detail, including the echoes it has with Barca's previous attempts to sell senior players, such as Frenkie de Jong and Raphinha. And we are expecting more developments to follow. After a season in which he played just 298 minutes across 11 appearances, Ansu Fati has accepted that looking for a new start will be the best decision for his career. His contract at Barcelona has an impact, though. Now 22, Fati's deal with the club runs until 2027, and his yearly salary of around €7million after tax (£5.9; $8m at current rates) is out of reach for the European clubs he is expected to interest. That leaves both player and club facing the likely outcome of a loan. Both parties are open to it, while Barcelona are also conscious they might have to keep paying a share of Fati's salary. Monaco have, so far, shown the clearest interest in Fati, who played most of the 2023-24 campaign in a disappointing loan spell at Brighton. Monaco have been in talks with Barcelona and the expectation at the Spanish club is for a temporary switch to be finalised in the coming weeks. Advertisement The 26-year-old goalkeeper is pretty much guaranteed to be sold this summer. Although Barca were happy with Pena's contributions throughout last season, he lost his place in Flick's starting line-up to Szczesny. Now, Barcelona have Marc-Andre ter Stegen back — and they are also looking to sign Garcia from Espanyol. Both club and player agree that the best solution for Pena is to find a new home where he can play regular first-team football. Barcelona won't make it hard for him to leave. He still has a year to run on his current deal and the expectation is that he will leave for a relatively low transfer fee, or even on a free, with Barca keen to secure a sell-on clause. Multiple La Liga clubs have reportedly expressed an interest in Pena, including Real Betis, Valencia and Celta Vigo. Galatasaray, where he played on loan back in 2023, are also in the mix. There is undoubtedly talent there, but Pablo Torre's favoured position of attacking midfield is extremely crowded at Barca and it won't get better anytime soon. All scenarios are open with the 22-year-old, from a permanent sale to a loan, although the latter is perhaps what makes more sense right now. There is a feeling at the club that Torre has the talent to break out into a regular first-team option at some point and Barca do not want to lose track of him. However, he is currently only under contract until 2026. The player's camp has been in contact with several clubs around Europe and the Middle East to let them know Torre is available. When Araujo signed a contract extension up to 2031 in January, it included a €60m release clause. The Uruguayan 26-year-old had just rejected a move to Juventus, but covered himself with a reachable exit fee in case he was not happy with his situation at Barca by the summer. Advertisement Well, his position now is not the greatest. After returning from a hamstring injury, Araujo failed to establish himself as a starting centre-back in the second half of last season. He was also heavily criticised over his performance against Inter in the second leg of Barca's Champions League semi-final defeat. Despite this, sources from the player's camp say Araujo does not intend to leave this summer. He is ready to stay and work to challenge for a place in Flick's line-up. Barca would surely be open to a sale if a decent offer were to arrive, but with a new deal signed in January and Araujo determined to remain at the club, it is unlikely he will leave. There is a similar situation with Christensen. The 29-year-old missed much of the season through injury and when he returned, he found himself unable to break into the starting XI. But he is content with life in Barcelona and is happy to stay. However, the difference with Christensen is that his contract expires next year. Talks over a new deal have not begun, but Barca's executives would prefer not to start the new season with any players in the final 12 months of their contracts. Even still, the most likely scenario, as of now, is for Christensen to stay. Barca sporting director Deco and manager Flick have not hidden their intentions to bolster the attacking line. Both mentioned Luis Diaz and Marcus Rashford by name in recent press conferences — and this week Barca's interest in Diaz was rebuffed by Liverpool. Last season, Flick felt Barca lacked strength in depth up front when Robert Lewandowski was injured. That does not leave 23-year-old Pau Victor in a good place, as he was available to step in. Barcelona do not want to lose him, though, and the most likely scenario, should a new winger arrive, would see him leaving on loan. Victor will have plenty of suitors in La Liga. He has understood his role as a backup in Flick's team, while also feeling frustrated with his lack of regular football. Advertisement Barcelona's hope is that, even if he can't be involved with the first team right now, Victor can still become a valuable player for the club and gain more market value if he has a successful loan. He is under contract until 2029. Barcelona have actually secured some income via a few sales already. Como already met the €6m release clause in the contract of 21-year-old full-back Alex Valle, who had been on loan at the Italian club. Meanwhile, West Ham's €39m signing of 25-year-old defender Jean-Clair Todibo from Nice means Barcelona are set to earn €7.8m. Barca sold Todibo to Nice in 2021 and inserted a 20 per cent sell-on clause in that deal.

/C O R R E C T I O N -- Meala/
In the news release, Meala Partners with dsm-firmenich to Commercialize Texturizing Protein for Meat Alternatives, issued June 3, 2025 by Meala over PR Newswire, we are advised by the company that edits have been made to the release. The complete, corrected release follows: PB Pea protein, a high-performance texturizer is ready for market release in Europe, bringing cleaner labels and better nutritional value to meat alternatives HAIFA, Israel, June 3, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Plant-based innovator Meala FoodTech Ltd. partners with dsm-firmenich to launch Vertis™ PB Pea — a groundbreaking texturizing pea protein. This single, multifunctional ingredient is designed to replace modified binders like hydrocolloids, helping to clean up labels in plant-based meat alternatives. The product is now available in Europe via dsm-firmenich as Vertis™ PB Pea. PB Pea, is a clean-label texturizer produced using biotechnology. Protected by two patents, it consolidates the functionality of multiple components into a single, versatile ingredient that delivers unmatched binding, gelation, and emulsifying properties. Furthermore, it increases the protein content of the final product. This holistic solution can replace an entire binding system often found in meat alternatives, while keeping the label short and recognizable. PB Pea was tested to great success in various meat alternative applications and suits any formulation, such as burgers, sausages and nuggets and more. Key benefits of PB Pea: Clean label and allergen-free: Clearly labeled as "pea protein." Thermostability: Maintains performance under heat and low temperature for versatile applications. Excellent texture and water retention: Provides juiciness and structure in meat alternatives. Enhanced nutritional value: Increases protein content. Short ingredient list: Enables producers to shorten and clean up the ingredient list. There is a clear shift in consumer behavior globally. Customers are increasingly drawn to products that deliver both an enjoyable taste experience and a clean, simple ingredient list that supports their well-being goals.

This growing awareness is reshaping preferences -- especially in the plant-based sector. In response, food manufacturers are under pressure to reformulate products and embrace cleaner, simpler labels to meet the rising demand for healthier, more natural options that don't compromise on taste or convenience With the launch of Vertis™ PB Pea, dsm-firmenich is expanding its Vertis™ plant protein portfolio -- introducing an innovative ingredient that consolidates the functionality of multiple components in plant-based meat alternatives.

Meala's partnership with dsm-firmenich -- a global leader in food ingredients -- combines both distribution and venture investment. The agreement paves the way for Meala's innovative pea-based texturizer to enter new global markets and fuel the next wave of plant-based product innovation. With production already underway in Europe, Meala's functional pea protein is scaling to meet growing international demand. "We're looking forward to working with dsm-firmenich to lead the new era of plant-based alternatives that successfully merge high performance and robust nutrition, to create a new generation of delicious, better-for-you and better for the planet meat alternatives," adds Razmovich.
