Barcelona star set for €12 million exit
An altogether noteworthy update on the incoming departure of Barcelona starlet Ansu Fati has this weekend surfaced online.
This comes amid claims that, contrary to previous speculation, the 22-year-old's summer exit will come with the certainty of bringing a permanent close to his Blaugrana stint.

Ansu's name has of course proven a prominent one in the headlines across Europe for several weeks now.
This comes after AS Monaco opened talks with their Barcelona counterparts, over bringing the winger to Ligue 1 for next season.
After Ansu struggled for game-time under the watch of new boss Hansi Flick in Catalunya's capital this past season, Deco and co. quickly opened to the prospect of a sale.
Initially, the understanding was that as much would come by way of a loan, featuring an option to buy.
As alluded to above, though, if the latest word stemming from the media on Saturday is anything to go by, Monaco's clause at the end of the 2025/26 campaign will in fact come in the form of a permanent one.

As per a report from Diario AS:
'In principle, Ansu's departure will be via loan with a mandatory purchase option of 12 million euros. There are still some minor details to be resolved because Barcelona want to include a percentage of a future sale or a possible buy-back option.'

Ricky Rubio Reacts to Retirement Rumors After Timberwolves Post
Ricky Rubio Reacts to Retirement Rumors After Timberwolves Post originally appeared on Athlon Sports. Former Minnesota Timberwolves star Ricky Rubio isn't hanging it up just yet. Despite reports that interpreted a full-page ad that the 12-year NBA veteran put in the Minnesota Star Tribune as a farewell, Rubio clarified his intent behind the message. Former Minnesota Timberwolves guard Ricky RubioSergio Estrada-Imagn Images Rubio, who has not played a game of basketball in a year since his team in the Spanish league, Liga Endesa, lost in the semifinals. He spent a year reflecting on his career, prompting a profound thank you to the community that supported him in the NBA. Advertisement The fifth overall pick of the 2009 NBA Draft, Rubio spent two years playing overseas before he arrived in Minnesota. View the original article to see embedded media. Teasing his message of gratitude on X, Rubio wrote the following, which was taken as a hint of his retirement: "I took this year to reflect on my career and my life, and I've realized that if I've gotten to where I am today, it's not because of the assists I've given, but because of the assists I've received," he wrote. "This isn't a goodbye, it's a thank you to all the people who have helped me along the way." However, upon an outpouring of reactions to the post, Rubio released a formal statement from a communication agency to clarify that he is not retiring just yet. Advertisement From the agency, per Spanish news outlet Todo Alicante: "This is not a farewell. It's just a thank you. It comes from my year of reflection, and I felt like doing something that is rarely done: thanking those who have been or are important to you. But it has no other message. I still don't know what will happen with my career. That will be the next thing to think about. This is something that comes from within now, and I want to express it while I am still professionally active, although forced to stop due to health issues," The message comes now because I have had enough time to think about everything I have done, and I have realized that what I have achieved is thanks to many people. And I wanted to thank them, massively. One never thanks enough, and doing so by reviewing both my journey as a person and a professional helped me convey it to everyone You all know that certain family moments marked my career, that my mother's illness and passing were very hard, that many mental health issues followed, and that I have not turned that into a taboo subject. Precisely for that reason, I left the national team call-up, spent 6 months taking care of myself, tried to return with FC Barcelona, and had to stop again. Undoubtedly, this has led me on a journey and personal introspection from which this gratitude emanates. Rubio appears to be looking for more opportunities to play basketball, although he last played in the NBA two years ago for the Cleveland Cavaliers. A fan favorite and galvanizing figure through a dim era for the franchise, Rubio played six seasons for the Wolves before he was traded to the Utah Jazz in 2017. He returned for one season and was an early mentor to Anthony Edwards.

Spain leads New Zealand at New York Sail Grand Prix after sparing winds, rainy first day
NEW YORK — Spain leads at the halfway stage of the New York Sail Grand Prix after three wacky races in rain, strong currents and fickle light winds. While New Zealand scored the biggest bragging points of the day by lapping the fleet in the last race, Pete Burling's team would happily have traded that outrageous moment of Kiwi glory for the more consistent performance displayed by Diego Botín and the Spaniards. Your @emirates Frequent Flier on Day 1 of the #NewYorkSGP was @sailgpnzl 🇳🇿#SailGP — SailGP (@SailGP) June 7, 2025 The wind was in short supply on the Hudson River, so the race committee instructed each of the 12 teams to slash the standard crew of six to three for race one, although this would later be increased to four crew for races two and three. Fewer crew on board meant a lighter all-up weight and a better prospect of hydrofoiling for the fleet of identical F50s, but also required much higher levels of multitasking for those left manning the ship. Advertisement Nailing a fast launch out of the start was more critical than ever in the marginal foiling conditions. Botín's crew propelled the Spanish boat out of the start of the first race and into an early lead at mark one, which they would extend to the finish. Even more impressive was the Spanish team's ability to weave a path through the traffic after some lackluster starts to races two and three. Saturday scores of 1,4,3 give the Spanish a healthy five-point buffer over the best of the rest, who are more closely bunched. 'I don't know what we did so well today, to be honest,' said Botín. 'It was so hectic out there. These boats are so complicated to sail, and if you add the conditions we had today with puffiness and the waves from the strong current, it was all super tricky.' In second place are the Danish, with the French on equal points in third, a point ahead of fourth-placed New Zealand, who somehow emerged mostly unscathed from a highly inconsistent day. The Kiwis finished second from last in the middle race, only to rebound with a resounding victory in the third race of the afternoon. Burling's crew burst into an early lead and managed to keep their F50 on the foils while a good chunk of the fleet was virtually becalmed in their wake. Most of the fleet were still drifting toward the bottom of the course, unable to get flying, while Burling managed to maintain his delicate momentum on the foils to come fizzing past his hapless rivals and fully lap the whole fleet. This is the first time anyone has achieved this feat in five seasons of SailGP. After today's drizzly drift-off, all 12 teams hope that a better forecast of brighter skies and stronger breeze for Sunday will provide a faster and more predictable race track for the conclusion of competition in New York.

Deutsche Bank Considers Stablecoin or Joining Industry-Led Initiative, Exec Says
Deutsche Bank is studying stablecoins and tokenized deposits as part of its growing digital assets strategy, joining other major banks exploring blockchain infrastructure for payments and settlement. The bank is considering whether to issue its own stablecoin or join a broader industry initiative, Bloomberg reported, citing Sabih Behzad, Deutsche Bank's head of digital assets and currencies transformation. It's also weighing the development of a tokenized deposit system aimed at making payments more efficient, according to the report. Major banks in the U.S. are currently weighing the launch of a joint stablecoin in a bid to fend off competition from the cryptocurrency space. These reportedly include heavyweights like JPMorgan Chase (JPM), Bank of America (BAC), Citigroup (C) and Wells Fargo (WFC). Regulatory clarity in the European Union and pending stablecoin legislation in the U.S. have helped accelerate stablecoin adoption. Behzad said banks have options that range from acting as reserve managers to launching their own digital tokens. Deutsche Bank has said in a research report that stablecoins are on the verge of mainstream adoption as crypto legislation advances under the Donald Trump administration. Germany's largest lender has, meanwhile, invested in cross-border payments firm Partior and joined Project Agorá, a central bank-backed initiative focused on wholesale tokenized payments.
