Man City chief urges club to stay patient over charges decision
Manchester City chairman Khaldoon Al Mubarak said his club are being "patient" as they wait for the verdict on charges of alleged breaches of Premier League financial rules. City were referred to an independent commission in February 2023 over the charges, which the club strongly deny. Advertisement The case was heard between September and December last year but no decision has yet been announced. City could face a points deduction, a heavy fine or even relegation from the Premier League if they are found guilty. "Well, I suppose the only thing I can say is we still don't have a ruling," Khaldoon said this week. "Once there's a ruling, I'll be able to speak about it. Until then we just have to be patient, and it'll come, and we will talk about it, I promise you, once we have the ruling." The investigation, which resulted in more than 100 charges being made against City, started back in 2018. Advertisement City were charged with failing to report accurate financial information for nine seasons stretching from 2009-10 to 2017-18, as well as failing to provide full details of former manager Roberto Mancini's pay between 2009-10 and 2012-13. They are also charged with failing to provide full details of remuneration in contracts with players between 2010-11 and 2015-16, and with failing to co-operate with the investigation over a period from 2018 to 2023. The club said at the time the charges were laid that they welcomed the opportunity for a commission "to impartially consider the comprehensive body of irrefutable evidence that exists in support of our position". City won the Champions League at the end of the season the charges were laid, securing themselves a place in FIFA's expanded 32-team Club World Cup which starts next month. Advertisement World players' union FIFPRO has criticised the scheduling of the competition amid player welfare concerns and, along with Europe's domestic leagues organisation, has filed legal complaints against FIFA over a lack of consultation around the international match calendar. Despite that, Khaldoon insists the club are taking the competition seriously and treating it as the official start of next season rather than an extension of the current one. "This is a very, very serious competition. In the summer, the whole world will be watching this," he said. "A big number of the top teams in the world will be competing in this tournament and I can assure you, we're going to give it our best shot." smg/bsp

Barcelona initiate talks with veteran La Liga goalkeeper for 2026 move
Barcelona's evolving strategy to reshape their goalkeeping department has taken a fresh twist. According to a new report from SPORT, the Catalan giants are laying the groundwork to sign Real Sociedad goalkeeper Alex Remiro in 2026, when his release clause will drop significantly from its current €70 million value. Advertisement The interest is so severe that initial talks between the parties have already taken place. While Joan Garcia remains the immediate and preferred long-term heir to Marc-Andre ter Stegen, the club is also thinking beyond the short-term extension of Wojciech Szczesny. The Polish goalkeeper has agreed to stay on for one more season, but with his contract only running until 2026 (at best), Barça are exploring the next layer of succession in goal. A change in plan Barcelona's initial goalkeeping roadmap, put together by sporting director Deco, was designed to be gradual. However, the unexpected need for rapid decisions has disrupted that approach. Advertisement Whether due to Ter Stegen's uncertain future or an accelerating transfer market, the club now finds itself forced to rethink timelines and personnel choices. Alex Remiro is back on Barcelona's radar. (Photo by) Even Hansi Flick has been vocal about the value of listening to seasoned staff and Jose Ramon de la Fuente, the long-time goalkeeping coach's endorsement of Remiro signals that this interest is very serious. Why Remiro? Remiro brings with him plenty of La Liga experience and consistency. Now 30, he is at the ideal age for a goalkeeper and has been a key figure for Real Sociedad over multiple seasons. While his current release clause is prohibitively high, it will be significantly reduced in 2026, a key detail that Barcelona are clearly watching closely. Advertisement The club believes that pairing an experienced, proven goalkeeper like Remiro with a younger option would offer balance and security as they prepare for life after both Ter Stegen and Szczesny. Adding urgency to the matter is external interest. Reports of Premier League side Aston Villa keeping tabs on Remiro have reached Barcelona's offices, prompting Deco to fast-track early conversations. While nothing has been finalised, the fact that contact has gone beyond mere scouting suggests Barça are keen to get ahead of the competition before Remiro's value on the market rises again.
