Liverpool now expected to rival Newcastle for Hugo Ekitike
Fabrizio Romano reported earlier today that Liverpool would turn their attention to the Newcastle target if they were unsuccessful in their bid to sign Isak – as Sky Sports confirm this is now indeed the case. The Athletic reported yesterday that Newcastle were in talks over a €75m potential deal for Ekitike, following interest from Manchester United and Chelsea during this window.

After a failed stint with Paris Saint-Germain, Ekitike has reinvented himself in the Bundesliga with 22 goals and 12 assists in 48 matches during the 2024-2025 season. The Frenchman started his career with Reims, where he scored 11 goals in 26 games during his breakout season with Les Champenois before his move to PSG.

After Mbeumo, is Brentford being too greedy over Yoane Wissa?
Yoane Wissa After seeing his attacking partner, Bryan Mbeumo, head off to Manchester United, Yoane Wissa has made it clear he wants to pack his bags and leave Brentford. But the English club is proving to be a tough negotiator. Last season, Yoane Wissa netted 20 goals in 39 appearances across all competitions. As a result, the Congolese striker is attracting plenty of interest. Newcastle have made a move in recent hours with a €25 million offer. However, the Bees' management immediately turned it down, according to The Athletic. For now, Wissa remains under contract with the club until June 2026. His market value is estimated between €30 and €40 million, and this is not the first time Brentford have rebuffed an approach. Nottingham Forest previously ran into the same stubborn stance from the board earlier in the transfer window. It's clear Brentford are determined to cash in to the fullest on one of the Premier League's most sought-after talents. The English club won't let their striker go unless an offer meets their lofty expectations.

Diogo Jota's wife posts ‘forever' tribute to mark one month since wedding
People in sports Relationships UK FacebookTweetLink Rute Cardoso, the wife of Diogo Jota, has paid tribute to her late husband, marking a month since the couple got married. Liverpool and Portugal star Jota died in a car crash in Spain on July 3 at the age of 28 along with his 25-year-old brother André Silva – who was also a professional footballer. In a post on Instagram, Cardoso shared photographs from their wedding day on June 22, along with an emotional message. '1 month since our 'til death do us part,'' she said Tuesday, adding she was 'forever' his. Jota married his long-term partner Cardoso less than two weeks before the crash. The couple had three children together. The soccer world has rallied behind the family since Jota's death. His funeral was attended by many current players, including Liverpool captain Virgil van Dijk and Portugal star Rúben Neves. Cardoso was pictured embracing other mourners as she arrived at the church ahead of the ceremony on July 5. Liverpool, the team Jota was playing for before his death, has since retired his No. 20 shirt. A mural of the star has also been painted on a wall in the city. Jota was a vital part of Liverpool's recent success, lifting the Premier League trophy at the end of last season. He was also part of the Portugal national team which won the Nations League in June this year, having also won the competition in 2019. CNN's Aleks Klosok contributed to this report.
