Iván Márquez returns to the Eredivisie to sign with Fortuna Sittard

Iván Márquéz will remain in the Eredivisie. Fortuna Sittard have signed the 31-year-old defender from 1. FC Nürnberg, following his loan spell at NEC last season. He has signed a three-year contract with an option for an additional year. 'I'm really looking forward to this new chapter in my career,' Márquez said on the club website. 'Through my years at NEC Nijmegen, I got to know the Netherlands well. That period made my family and I feel truly at home here. It feels good to stay in the Netherlands for the next few seasons, at a great club like Fortuna Sittard.' The Spaniard started his career in the youth academy of Málaga and played in Spain for UD San Padro, El Palo, Atlético Madrileño, Osasuna B, Valencia B and then went on an adventure in Poland with Korona Kielce and Cracovia. After a strong first period in Nijmegen, Márquez left for FC Nürnberg in the summer of 2023, only to return to NEC on loan last season, for which he played a total of 98 matches.

📸 Which club has the best kit? All 2. Bundesliga home shirts ranked

It's finally kicking off again! Today is the first Saturday conference of the second league. And what can't be missing from that? Right, a jersey ranking that shows which clubs have already delivered before the first ball rolled yesterday and who has rather missed the mark. Place 18: Greuther Fürth (1.4) Too many stripes spoil the broth? The new Fürth jersey failed in the editorial office. 📸 Screenshot: Homepage Greuther Fürth Place 17: Holstein Kiel (3.8) Don't stand out in the new season, the people from Kiel probably thought. Place 16: Paderborn (4.0) Lost in sports? The new Paderborn jersey rather reminds of a chessboard. Screenshot: Homepage SC Paderborn Place 15: Elversberg (4.4) The sponsor is known for eye drops, but the new jersey did not please the eyes of the OneFootball editorial team. 📸 Screenshot: Homepage SV Elversberg Place 14: Eintracht Braunschweig (4.6) Braunschweig stays true to itself - classic, yellow, brave. Like a lion on sunscreen. 📸 Screenshot: Homepage Eintracht Braunschweig Place 13: Magdeburg (4.8) Will FCM ride the wave of success with this in this season? 📸 Screenshot: Homepage 1. FC Magdeburg Place 12: Düsseldorf (5.2) With this jersey, Fortuna goes "All-In". Will it work for the promotion? 📸 Screenshot: Homepage Fortuna Düsseldorf Place 11: Kaiserslautern (5.6) The opponents should not look at this jersey for too long, so as not to be distracted from the game. Or is that the FCK tactic for the new season? 📸 Screenshot: Homepage 1. FC Kaiserslautern Place 11: Preußen Münster (5.6) Can Münster camouflage itself with the simple green on the lawn? 📸 Screenshot: Homepage Preußen Münster Place 11: Karlsruher SC (5.6) Everything is sweg at KSC again. 📸 Screenshot: Homepage Karlsruher SC Place 11: VfL Bochum (5.6) A jersey with which the Bundesliga relegated team did not do much wrong, but also does not stand out particularly. Therefore it gets a place in the midfield. 📸 Christof Koepsel - 2025 Getty Images Place 11: Dynamo Dresden (5.6) Art meets second league club: Dresden designed the jersey together with the Porcelain Manufactory Meissen. From OneFootball, it gets a stylish place in the midfield. 📸 Screenshot: Homepage Dynamo Dresden Place 6: Darmstadt 98 (6.0) Narrowly missed the top 5.

The OneFootball jersey ranking makes it possible. 📸 Screenshot: Homepage Arminia Bielefeld Place 5: Hannover (6.6) The new home jersey was presented together with the Scorpions.

Eddie Howe opens up on ‘complex' Alexander Isak transfer saga

Eddie Howe says he is not sure what will happen next after confirming that Newcastle United rejected a transfer bid for Alexander Isak from Liverpool. The Reds reportedly tabled an offer worth at least £110 million for the Sweden international this week as they made their interest official. It has since been reported that Liverpool do not intend on making another bid for Isak following Newcastle's emphatic and swift response to their approach. The 25-year-old has not joined the squad on their pre-season tour of Asia and is training alone at former club Real Sociedad's facilities after informing the Magpies he wishes to explore his options in the transfer market. The club have claimed that he did not travel due to a 'minor thigh injury'. Eddie Howe opens up on 'difficult' Alexander Isak transfer saga 'From my situation I am very much removed from what was happening back home,' said Howe in a press conference. 'I was made aware of a bid yesterday and that bid was turned down all before I even heard about it. People back in England are dealing with the situation. 'I really don't know what happens next. From our perspective, we still support Alex in every way, and my wish is that we see him in a Newcastle shirt again. 'It is difficult because you don't know what is going to happen. There can be all sorts of talk and hypothetical situations but then you are dealing with reality. 'The reality is we had the first bid from Liverpool yesterday. I believe that was turned down, from this point onwards let's see what happens. 'I have no idea to try to predict that. In terms of trying to upset players, from my perspective, we can only talk about us, we try to do things the right way, signing players is always complex, we just try to do what we think is right. 'I can't talk about other clubs, that is not for me to say.' Howe also revealed that he only learned about Isak's whereabouts through the media and not from the player himself. 'I know where he is now, through the media,' he said. 'So I think from that perspective, it is difficult to go into any type of detail.'
