Leroy Sané, as a star player for FC Bayern and the German national team, has experienced a lot, but even the 29-year-old probably did not expect such a reception.

"There were many offers. But Galatasaray as a whole really impressed me. I was very impressed by the atmosphere, the size of the club, how much they wanted me, how much interest they showed in me. That's why I'm at Galatasaray," Sané said at the airport: "I'm very grateful to the fans. It means a lot to me that they came here at this hour. I'm really looking forward to my first game in front of these fans. I thank President Dursun Özbek, Coach Okan Buruk, and Abdullah Kavukcu for their trust." Galatasaray had previously announced the impending transfer.

The Architecture of Football: RIBA & Tate Liverpool Unveil Fall 2025 Exhibition
In partnership with theTate Liverpool, theRoyal Institute of British Architects (RIBA)presents a Fall 2025 exhibition centered on a quintessentially English sporting culture. 'Home Ground: The Architecture of Football' at Gallery One of Tate Liverpool traces the historical development of football stadium design, dating from the 1890s to the present day. Featuring more than 50 global football stadiums, the Fall 2025 exhibit will dive into the stories and plans for some of the world's most important football venues. As the city prepares for the eventual opening of the Hill Dickinson Stadium in Liverpool in 2027, a wealth of architectural models, photographs, and other archival materials will grant visitors insight into the architectural considerations that form the stadium experience and the accompanying social culture of football fandom. 'Football has a unique ability to stir emotions, cross borders and captivate the world,' shared RIBA President, Muyiwa Oki in a statement. 'At their best, stadiums are as iconic as the players themselves, etched into the hearts of fans long after the final whistle. For architects, they offer a rare opportunity to help shape the beautiful game.' From Everton to Chelsea, the exhibit will start at the foundations of modern stadiums led by early designers like Archibald Leitch, one of the foremost club architects in the early 20th century. RIBA then offers a snapshot of modern stadiums designed by firms like BDP, Populous, Herzog & de Meuron, gmp von Gerkan, Marg and Partners Architects. 'From the red and blue cauldron of Barcelona's Nou Camp to the iconic arch of Wembley rising in the backdrop of London, great design can amplify atmosphere, heighten drama and leave a lasting mark on a city's skylines,' Oki added. The Home Ground exhibition will be open from October 15, 2025, to January 6, 2026. Information and tickets will be available atthe official Tate website.

Ole Gunnar Solskjaer on the brink? Besiktas line up replacement just six months after appointing Man Utd legend
Solskjaer could be on his way out Recent defeat to Shakhtar has put him under the scanner Two candidates are already on their shortlist Follow GOAL on WhatsApp! 🟢📱 WHAT HAPPENED? Solskjaer's early days in charge saw a promising run of results that brought renewed optimism to fans. The team secured victories in six of their first eight fixtures under his leadership, including an impressive derby win over rivals Fenerbahce. THE BIGGER PICTURE However, consistency has since become an issue. The initial momentum has faded, with results turning mixed and performances lacking cohesion. The recent 4-2 defeat to Ukrainian side Shakhtar Donetsk in the first leg of the UEFA Europa League second qualifying round has only intensified scrutiny on the former Premier League manager. DID YOU KNOW? Fabrizio Romano suggests that Nuri Sahin, the former Borussia Dortmund player and manager, has entered serious contention to take over the managerial reins at Besiktas. Sahin's name has gained traction within the club's hierarchy, particularly due to his tactical acumen and deep familiarity with Turkish football. What adds fuel to the speculation is Sahin's recent appearance at a Besiktas game. Fans noted his presence in the stands as a possible indication of behind-the-scenes discussions already taking place. In addition to potentially becoming head coach, there are whispers that Sahin might also take on influence over transfer activity, a role that some within Besiktas believe should not be entrusted to Solskjaer alone. WHAT NEXT FOR BESIKTAS? Alongside Sahin, another familiar figure has emerged in the conversation, former Besiktas boss Sergen Yalcin. Having previously led the team to domestic success, Yalcin remains a popular figure among sections of the fanbase and is reportedly open to a return. Serdal Adali, president of Besiktas, is believed to be evaluating all possibilities as he considers how best to guide the club back to winning ways. The pressure to make the right call is immense, especially with fans expecting progress both in Europe and the Turkish Super Lig this season.
