Volkswagen CEO hopes for own tariff deal with 'attractive' investments
By Rachel More BERLIN (Reuters) -Europe's largest car manufacturer Volkswagen is hoping investment commitments can help it negotiate further concessions on U.S. tariffs once Washington and the European Union strike a broad trade deal, CEO Oliver Blume told investors on Friday. As they wait for the outcome of trade talks between the U.S. and the EU ahead of an August 1 deadline, European carmakers are also looking at possible investments or production shifts that might appease President Donald Trump and bring down tariffs. "We hope that it will come to a well-balanced deal between the U.S. and the EU, which allows fair trade between the regions," Blume told investors after reporting a second quarter impacted heavily by tariffs. Blume said he was expecting a 15% tariff for the EU, similar to one the Trump administration agreed with Japan earlier this week. That would replace a 25% tariff imposed by Trump on car and parts imports in April. An additional deal with Volkswagen would come on top of this, once the tariff row is ended, Blume said. Trump imposed a 25% tariff on car and parts imports in April. "We have a very attractive investment package we will do there," he said, adding that the company has been in "good discussions" with the U.S. government. Pressed by investors for details on possible U.S. investments, Blume spoke only of a "scalable programme," including projects with a clear business case. The executive also mentioned the possibility of opening a plant for Volkswagen's luxury brand Audi in the U.S., where the subsidiary currently has no production presence. While there are expectations that the EU can agree a 15% tariff, avoiding the 30% levy that would come into force on August 1 without a deal, French car parts supplier OpMobility said it was concerning that the EU acting as a bloc seemed unable to negotiate better terms than individual countries. "In the short term, we can probably say that we've avoided the worst, but that does not mean that it's a good deal, at the end of the day it shows that the relationship is unbalanced," CEO Laurent Favre said late on Thursday.

Barcelona do not have a €5 million penalty clause in agreement for summer signing
After an extended wait, FC Barcelona announced the signing of Marcus Rashford on loan from Manchester United this past Wednesday. The 27-year-old forward joins the Catalans on a season-long loan deal with an option to make the transfer permanent for a fee of €30 million. Barça will cover his full wages, although he has accepted a significant pay cut. On top of that, it had also been reported that there was a penalty clause in the agreement which stipulated that Barcelona would have to pay €5 million to Manchester United if they do not decide to activate the permanent buy option. No penalty clause However, providing clarification on the matter, The Athletic reports that the agreement between Barcelona and Manchester United does not include a €5 million penalty fee if the La Liga champions decide not to trigger that option. In recent windows, Manchester United have inserted such penalty clauses in loan agreements for their players – the most recent case being that of Jadon Sancho at Chelsea last summer. As such, it was speculated that the Red Devils had opted for a similar move with Rashford as well, wherein Barça would owe them a fee if they decide not to make his transfer permanent by activating the €30 million clause. But, it is now being claimed that there is no such penalty clause in the agreement and Barcelona will not have to pay the Premier League club any fee if they opt against retaining Rashford beyond this season. Having arrived at Barcelona over the weekend, Rashford has already trained with the squad on a few occasions and has made a solid impression. Having flown to Asia for the pre-season tour, the England forward will hope to hit the ground running at his new club.
