Dunkerque considering appointing Gaël Clichy as next head coach
The club believed they had the answer to Castro's departure to FC Nantes in the shape of fellow countryman Gonçalo Feio. However, the former Legia Warsaw manager lasted only 23 days before he and the club mutually agreed to end their partnership. The club, run by co-president Demba Ba, will have to act quickly with the season beginning again next month.

Back at square one, Dunkerque's search has begun again. According to a report from La Voix du Nord, the club could look to offer the role to Gaël Clichy. Yesterday, the retired Arsenal and Manchester City defender left his post as an assistant coach with the France U21s and so is now a free agent.

Dodgers Land Pair of Twins Relievers, Infielder in Theoretical Trade
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. With more injuries than several teams combined, the Los Angeles Dodgers have no choice but to add to their bullpen at the trade deadline. Former general manager Jim Bowden knows the deadline better than most and predicts the Dodgers will go out and bring in Jhoan Duran, Griffin Jax and infielder Willi Castro from the Minnesota Twins. Here is the full trade breakdown: Los Angeles Dodgers acquire: RHP Jhoan Duran, RHP Griffin Jax, INF Willi Castro Minnesota Twins acquire: OF Josue De Paula (Dodgers No. 1 prospect), LHP Jackson Ferris (Dodgers No. 6 prospect), RHP Bobby Miller, OF Jaron Elkins (Dodgers No. 23 prospect) DENVER, CO - JULY 20: Relief pitcher Jhoan Duran #59 of the Minnesota Twins delivers a pitch in the ninth inning against the Colorado Rockies at Coors Field on July 20, 2025 in Denver, Colorado. DENVER, CO - JULY 20: Relief pitcher Jhoan Duran #59 of the Minnesota Twins delivers a pitch in the ninth inning against the Colorado Rockies at Coors Field on July 20, 2025 in Denver, Colorado."Duran has 15 saves and a 1.94 ERA over 46 appearances thanks to his overpowering triple-digit fastball," wrote Bowden. "He would immediately become the Dodgers' closer. Jax has 68 strikeouts in 44 innings with a 4.09 ERA and 1.23 WHIP, after logging a 2.03 ERA and 0.87 WHIP last season. Both are under team control through 2027. In addition, the Dodgers would land Castro, a valuable utilityman who can play all over the field and protect them against future injuries. Los Angeles always looks to acquire positional flexibility. Castro has a 112 OPS+ and will be a free agent after this season." The Dodgers would certainly better themselves by adding two quality relievers as well as Castro. With players like Kike Hernandez and Max Muncy being inconsistent at the plate, it would make sense to go out and grab an infielder like Castro, who is on an expiring deal, to try and some juice in the lineup. As for the Twins, this would be a great way for them to retool the roster and load up to push for a playoff spot next season. "In return, the Twins would land a haul," wrote Bowden. "They'd get a future middle-of-the-order impact bat in De Paula, who needs a lot of work defensively but has a chance to develop into an All-Star bat with power. De Paula, 20, is No. 17 in Keith Law's new ranking of the game's top prospects. They'd also get Ferris, who profiles as a mid-rotation starter but is still a couple of years away, and Miller, 26, a reclamation project who could benefit from a change of scenery. Elkins, a 20-year-old outfielder at High A, would be a throw-in to close the deal. But the key to the trade for the Twins would be De Paula, who has slashed .262/.409/.416 with 10 homers and 28 steals this season in High A." De Paula and Ferris would certainly be the prizes of this package as the Dodgers would be sending a lot back to Minnesota. Even Miller, who hasn't had the most success to this point in his career, could certainly benefit from a change of scenery and a place where he wouldn't face as much pressure like Sonny Gray when he left the Bronx. This is a trade that allows the Dodgers to go all-in at the deadline. Is it an overpay? Absolutely it is. However, it also sets them up as good as possible to become back-to-back World Series champions. And you can't put a price on that.

Barcelona star sends farewell message to club's fans
A departing member of the attacking ranks at La Liga giants Barcelona has bid a fond farewell to all in Catalunya's capital. The player in question? Pau Víctor. Frontman Víctor is for his part of course fresh off seeing his departure from Barcelona made official. Following a quickfire round of talks with Portuguese outfit SC Braga, the Camp Nou brass sanctioned a deal for the 23-year-old to depart on a permanent basis this weekend. As much brings to an end what was a short-lived stint for Víctor on Barcelona's books, spread between the club's reserve outfit, and first-team. Evidently, though, across this time, the Blaugrana made a deep impact on the versatile attacker from a personal standpoint. This comes with Víctor having taken to his official social media accounts, to bid a heartfelt farewell to the Spanish champions: 'Today marks the end of a chapter that has shaped my life. A chapter that has been much more than football: it has been a dream come true. First with Barça Atlètic, then with the first team… but always with the same feeling: that of a kid who grew up dreaming of wearing this shirt. Defending this badge has been an immense honor, both at the Johan and at Montjuïc, always with the pride of being part of a unique club. Because Barça is not just a club. It's a feeling that fills you, transforms you, and makes you better. Thank you to all the coaches, teammates, club staff, and fans who have accompanied me on this journey. I take with me friendships, values, lessons, and memories that I'll carry with me forever. Now I head toward new challenges, with my head held high and my heart full. With the same passion, the same commitment, and the eternal pride of having defended these colors, and a dream lived that will accompany me wherever I go. With all my gratitude, Forever a Culer.'
