Real Madrid And Brazil Star Decides To Leave Spanish Club
One of Real Madrid's Brazilian stars has decided to leave the club but is currently short on offers to do so according to SPORT, which cited anonymous sources.
Rodrygo should forever be a modern day hero at the Bernabeu for his role in two Champions League wins in 2022 and 2024 following his move from boyhood club Santos at the turn of the decade.
Towards the end of a trophyless season in terms of major silverware last term, however, things started to turn sour when Rodrygo was snubbed for an El Clasico loss against FC Barcelona and then felt as if he never wanted to don the Los Blancos shirt again.
There was no immediate conflict with Carlo Ancelotti, who should now manage Rodrygo again as the head coach of the Brazilian national team.
But when the Italian was replaced by Xabi Alonso, Rodrygo reportedly had a change of heart and believed he might have a role to play in the midfield legend's new team.
At the Club World Cup, though, where Madrid crashed out to Paris Saint-Germain, that didn't appear to be the case as Alonso included youngsters such as Gonzalo Garcia and Arda Guler in his side which meant no room for Rodrygo.
On the cusp of the 2025/2026 season getting underway, Rodrygo has apparently gone back to his original thought and has again decided to flee the Spanish capital.
SPORT says that he feels mistreated by the club, and is currently fourth in the pecking order of the first team squad's top stars while suffering from mental exhaustion.
Yet while anonymous sources from Rodrygo's entourage told UOL that he has offers from up to 11 interested potential employers, the Catalan newspaper in question notes that, on the brink of August, nobody has come forward and made an offer for the 24-year-old.
As things stand, Rodrygo will report for preseason duty on August 4, facing the prospect of beginning a fresh campaign on the bench out of Alonso's 4-4-2.
From Real Madrid to the Premier League
Though as mentioned none of these clubs have tabled an offer for Rodrygo, Premier League outfits look the most likely to take him from Real Madrid to England if he is to leave Spain.

Mateo Joseph: So what now?
Mateo Joseph could probably read the writing on the wall. He finished last season in a scrap for second billing with Patrick Bamford, but Leeds United's promotion and the arrival of Lukas Nmecha in June were warning signs. Then, as Joel Piroe was polishing his Golden Boot trophy, Leeds began to be linked with Fulham's Rodrigo Muniz. Even if they fail to add the Brazilian specifically, it is no secret they want a first-rate striker capable of supplanting Piroe in attack. Advertisement Was Joseph, who began last season as manager Daniel Farke's first-choice striker, willing to go into the top flight as the fourth choice? While Bamford was told in no uncertain terms he is surplus to requirements, Spain's under-21 international had not been shown the door. Instead, with three years still on his contract, there were two likely routes for him at Leeds. Farke may have seen value in the youngster scraping onto his bench and waiting for injuries to get on the pitch. Though if anyone is going to hold down that role next season, will it not be 16-year-old Harry Gray? Or there might be a season-long loan away, which seemed the most likely outcome for Joseph. After 39 Championship appearances last season, including 11 starts, he needs to continue playing regularly to aid his development. However, the striker has instead taken a more aggressive approach: trying to force his way out. Farke tolerated Joseph's request to skip the Manchester United friendly in Sweden following a delayed return for pre-season, but the Germany training camp appears to have been a red line. The striker was expected to take part in a critical week away, but he refused and stayed at home, requesting a transfer in the process. In 2023, Farke was ready to have Wilfried Gnonto and Luis Sinisterra training on their own after they refused to play for the club in an effort to leave after relegation. Sinisterra found his way out on deadline day, but Gnonto, who did not have one of the infamous relegation release clauses in his contract, was forced to reintegrate. Gnonto was the one high-profile player Leeds were able to reject bids for. After losing so much talent in that summer, they were not about to be bullied into losing more. The club is in a very different place two years on and Joseph seems to be ostracising himself from the main group to get a move that was probably coming anyway. In his revelatory post-match press huddle at SC Verl last week, Farke said he will not stand in the way of a player who is not excited about the prospect of playing for Leeds in the Premier League. The sticking point will be the terms of any exit. Sources at Leeds, kept anonymous to protect relationships, say chairman Paraag Marathe rates Joseph very highly. Farke has already pointed to last season's 39 appearances as evidence of how much he likes Joseph, too. This is a talent they have invested in since he arrived from Espanyol at 18 years old in 2022. Advertisement Joseph has been prolific with Spain's under-21s, scoring eight goals in 13 appearances. There was a red-hot run of form during 2024's pre-season with Leeds, too, which saw him start the opening eight league games of last season. There was also the memorable brace at Chelsea in the FA Cup as a starter in 2024. Leeds can see the potential in a player who did ultimately score just three times for the Championship title-winners last season. This is why a loan offer, with a pre-agreed permanent option, does not suit them. Real Betis are understood to have had a £10million offer knocked back in January. The summer has seen at least one further offer from Betis, for a loan with a permanent option, which was rejected by Leeds, who, before Joseph's transfer request, consistently made it clear he was not for sale. Joseph's now-public stance may soften United's resolve, but he will not be allowed to leave cheaply. Parties on all sides of the saga, including Leeds, Betis and Joseph's representatives, agree this will not be resolved quickly or easily. Girona are another club with an interest in taking him. A loan without a permanent option would seem to suit Leeds best, though a significant bid for a permanent deal may tempt them, too, with the player wanting out. United sources, kept anonymous to protect relationships, do not see any sense in a loan with a pre-agreed option to leave for good in July 2026: if Joseph went on loan to Betis and scored more than 15 goals in La Liga, his value, as a young, improving striker in one of Europe's big five leagues, would skyrocket, but if Leeds had agreed to a permanent option of £10m to £15m in that scenario, they would be severely out of pocket. With three years left on his contract, Leeds see no rush or urgency in pushing Joseph out the door. Next season will be critical in shaping how the next phase of his career looks. They are unlikely to object to him playing regularly on the continent, but they want to be masters of their own destiny when it comes to establishing Joseph's real value on the transfer market.

Italian Gymnast Lorenzo Bonicelli In Recovery After Devastating Spinal Injury
MILAN, ITALY - JANUARY 25: Lorenzo Bonicelli of Italy poses during the Italian team's 2024 European Artistic Gymnastics Championships press preview on January 25, 2024 in Milan, Italy. (Photo by Pier) Getty Images New updates have emerged regarding the serious injury sustained by Italian gymnast Lorenzo Bonicelli, who was hospitalized last week after landing on his neck during competition at the 2025 FISU Summer World University Games. On Thursday, the Italian Gymnastics Federation confirmed that Bonicelli suffered a cervical sprain with subluxation of the fifth vertebra. Although an initial surgery was reportedly successful, Bonicelli is experiencing neurological damage—'the extent of which cannot yet be assessed,' according to the federation. The 23-year-old from Lecco, Italy, is currently breathing through medical ventilation via a tracheotomy. Despite the severity of the injury, Bonicelli is said to be in 'good general condition' as of Thursday, July 31. He will require 'at least another week of hospitalization' before a potential transfer to a rehabilitation facility is considered. The injury happened during the Men's Artistic Gymnastics team final and qualification round at the 2025 FISU Summer World University Games. The Italian team began their competition on floor exercise, followed by pommel horse. In the third rotation, Bonicelli landed short on his dismount, falling on his neck. According to Ginnasticando Italia , medical workers immediately rushed to Bonicelli's side upon injury, eventually carrying the athlete out of the arena on a medical stretcher. The Italian team later withdrew from the entire competition due to the emotional distress inflicted by their teammate's injury. On Thursday, July 24, an FIG official confirmed initial reports of Bonicelli's condition, sharing that the athlete had undergone near-immediate surgery on Wednesday, July 23. Steve Butcher, the Apparatus Supervisor for men's still rings, shared that Bonicelli had gone into a 'medically induced coma after surgery' on July 23. At that time, it was shared that 'it will take 10 or more days' to determine the severity of Bonicelli's injuries. While his recovery evolves, the gymnastics community continues to think of Bonicelli – affectionately known as 'Bonni' – and the entire Italian gymnastics federation.

Guardiola wanted a smaller squad. Instead it's grown. How can Man City trim it?
It has been 73 days since Pep Guardiola said he would quit Manchester City if he did not have a smaller squad next season. That was in May, after a comfortable win at home against Bournemouth, when his lip quivered after committing what he views as the heinous act of leaving four senior players festering at home. Advertisement Joking or not, he might have to leave a dozen at home for the opening match against Wolverhampton Wanderers. Two weeks out from the start of the new Premier League season, the mission to condense the squad still needs work. Rather than trim, City have made a net addition of two first-team players this summer. Sometimes, taking two steps forward and one step back is the way to progress. That is certainly how City will view it, having acted rapidly to acquire their main targets before the Club World Cup. Buying before selling has the benefit that other clubs cannot hold them to ransom, knowing there is money burning a hole in their pocket. But signing James Trafford, Marcus Bettinelli, Rayan Ait-Nouri, Tijjani Reijnders and Rayan Cherki means Guardiola has 31 players. While there has been a conscious effort to reduce the squad's average age and wage bill, it is an expensive squad to run, with several players surplus to requirements and others seemingly having little chance of regular minutes. Here is The Athletic's assessment of the situation… City had the luxury of two leading men for part of this summer. New sporting director Hugo Viana, almost four months into his role since joining from Sporting CP, was being supported by director of football Txiki Begiristain as part of a transition, but he ended his 13-year spell this week. Viana will continue to be aided by Carlos Raphael Moersen, who is director of football transactions at City Football Group (CFG, the club's overarching owner) and has been helping lead some negotiations with prospective buyers this summer. City have brought in some money — Kyle Walker has moved to Burnley for a fee that could reach £5million ($6.6m), Maximo Perrone's switch to Como is worth €15million (£13m; $17m) and €24m has arrived after Yan Couto's loan deal at Borussia Dortmund was made permanent. Advertisement But to get numbers down, established players will have to leave soon. Finding permanent takers for Kalvin Phillips, given the financial package of a fee plus wages, has been tricky. Jack Grealish and James McAtee are expected to leave too. The fourth expected exit is goalkeeper Stefan Ortega, as City now have four senior goalkeepers following Trafford's arrival. City want Ederson to stay until the end of his contract next year and are open to selling Ortega, who also has a year left on his deal and wants to play regularly as he looks to break into Germany's squad for the World Cup next summer. Then there is the possibility of allowing younger players to go out on loan. Sverre Nypan, the 18-year-old who joined from Rosenborg for £12.5million, will go out on loan as part of a development plan but a prospective move to Ajax is thought to no longer be on the cards. La Liga club Girona, part of the CFG network, are keen on loaning Vitor Reis and Claudio Echeverri. A year in Spain represents a good development opportunity for Reis, who is 19 and joined the club in January from Palmeiras for £29.5million. He is highly rated internally but showed in his second start for City against Wydad at the Club World Cup that there are parts of his game that need work. Echeverri is also 19 but represents a different case. Guardiola is a huge admirer and saw fit to bring Echeverri on for his debut in the FA Cup final just months after arriving from Argentina. Girona would love to have him, while Roma have made a case for a year in Italy, but City are deliberating whether it would be better to keep him in-house to learn from the manager and other forwards such as Erling Haaland and Omar Marmoush. Oscar Bobb is very likely to stay, with the 22-year-old winger impressing Guardiola last summer before a fractured leg ruined his season. Advertisement Nico O'Reilly faces a fight for minutes due to the arrival of Ait-Nouri at left-back, where he impressed last season. The plan is for O'Reilly, 20, to stay, as he can also operate in his more natural midfielder role. McAtee is more established but his role last season was largely restricted to substitute cameos. Nottingham Forest have been discussing a fee of around £25million for him but Viana wants more. Eintracht Frankfurt, who McAtee visited last month, view these sums as out of their league. In defence, City are overstocked, with 10 players across the back four, leading to speculation that one or two could depart. John Stones was not given a single minute at the Club World Cup despite fully recovering from an injury-ravaged season. The England centre-back, who has a year left on his deal, said during the Club World Cup that he did not want to leave and there is no prospect of him departing this summer. Manuel Akanji and Abdukodir Khusanov are two others with a point to prove. Khusanov, 21, barely featured in the final few months of the season after joining from Nice in January, but no approaches have been made. In midfield, there is an argument that City are also overstocked. It remains to be seen how quickly Rodri can regain form after his anterior cruciate ligament injury, so the cover provided by Nico Gonzalez and Mateo Kovacic could be important. Tijjani Reijnders can also drop back to play as the deeper No 6. Premier League clubs will have to register their official 25-man squad after the transfer window closes on September 1. They can only name a maximum of 17 non-homegrown senior players, with the rest of the squad comprising 'homegrown players' — those who have trained at an English club for three seasons (or 36) months between the ages of 15 and 21, regardless of nationality. Advertisement City have 17 non-homegrown players above the age of 21 and nine homegrown players above the age of 21. That is only one too many, a situation aided by the Premier League rule that dictates under-21 players, those born after January 1, 2004, do not take up spaces in the 25-man squad. Rico Lewis, Khusanov, Reis, O'Reilly, Savinho and Echeverri all fall into that category, although 22-year-old Bobb becomes a senior homegrown player for the first time. There are different rules in the Champions League, so if City do not loan or sell anyone else, they would have to leave four non-homegrown players out in the cold. UEFA's 'A list' does not offer the same blanket exclusion for under-21 players. They have to be under-21 and homegrown, which means Khusanov, Reis, Savinho and Echeverri all require a space, unlike in the Premier League. Eight spaces are exclusively reserved for locally trained players, with no more than four of that total made up of association-trained players reared at other English clubs. Even if Grealish, Phillips and McAtee all leave, that will not be an issue for City, with Trafford, O'Reilly, Lewis, Bobb and Foden all club-trained, and Betinelli, Stones and Ake all association-trained. It is another reason the two goalkeepers were recruited this summer. The risk of carrying such a bloated squad is not just regulatory, however. It is a matter of identity and contentment, too. Players at this level possess egos and pride. They want to contribute and feel like a valued member of the squad but it is difficult to achieve across an entire squad, with so many players being reduced to a spectator role. City were quick out of the blocks this window but they need to start getting a shift on if they are to satisfy Guardiola's demand for an optimised squad.
