😱Unbelievable: Maravilla to have a €106 million release clause

Yahoo15-07-2025
After what happened with Maxi Salas, Racing doesn't want to underestimate its rivals again and has decided to shield its biggest star.
With his renewal fully underway, Adrián Martínez will have a termination clause of 106 million euros, the highest in the history of Argentine football.
Milito and company's plan is for the former Instituto player to retire at the club and thus end the calls from Marcelo Gallardo.

Alice Pumphrey will cheer on Lionesses with no regrets over switch to boxing

Alice Pumphrey will sit down to watch the Lionesses' latest bid for glory on Sunday without a flicker of regret that she turned her back on a promising football career to target success of a different kind in the Olympic boxing ring. The Blackpool 19-year-old, who has been named in the 16-strong Great Britain squad for September's World Boxing Championships in Liverpool, was scouted by Manchester United at the age of 11 and signed an academy contract with every intention of making it to the top of the sport. But Pumphrey became hooked after heading to her local boxing gym for the first time to improve her fitness, and almost immediately made the tough decision to rip up her deal with the Red Devils and devote herself full-time to her new obsession. 'I'd been playing football almost every day since the age of four, and I was scouted when I was 11 and playing with a boys' team in Fleetwood,' Pumphrey told the PA news agency. 'I went for a trial with United and they said they were going to give me a contract. That meant I could only play for United, so on the days I couldn't play I got bored and went to the gym for extra fitness. 'After a week I told my dad I wanted to box. He told me to see the season out with United and they tried to convince me to stay. But by then I knew what I wanted to do.' Pumphrey's decision has proved a wise one. A slew of English, British and European junior titles followed, culminating in a world under-19 title in Colorado towards the end of last year, and a full-time place on the GB Boxing squad. She is bullish about her future prospects – having targeted Olympic gold in Los Angeles, followed by turning professional and winning undisputed titles at four different weights – and will stop at nothing to achieve it, uprooting from the west coast to relocate to Batley where she trains in the Purge gym. Pumphrey, once a fleet-footed left winger, is the same age as Lionesses saviour Michelle Agyemang, who will aim to summon more heroics when England face Spain in the European Championship on Sunday. But while she will be an avid viewer, the light-flyweight will not once stop to wonder what might have been had she decided not to follow her heart through those gym doors seven years ago. 'I've never regretted it,' she added. 'In football you've got 10 other people and subs who you have to rely on to win a game, but in the boxing ring it's down to you to perform. 'I don't like having to depend on other people. In that ring it's you and the person who is trying to take your head off, and that's what I love.'

🤯 Relegation battle drama: Neymar celebrates a goal that never was

Phantom goal, but different: Neymar seems to be losing his nerves a bit in the relegation battle with FC Santos. In a league game against SC International on Wednesday night, he celebrated a goal without waiting for the ball to actually cross the line (spoiler: it didn't) and argued with one of his own fans after the final whistle. But how did it come to this? An opponent's header cleared the ball from the five-meter area, superstar Neymar got the ball at his feet, shot from about nine meters and a half-left position, the ball went from the goalkeeper's glove to the right post and towards the goal line. Immediately, Neymar turned around, slid to his knees towards the corner flag, kicked it to pieces, and celebrated his goal in front of the fans - only to realize shortly afterwards that he was alone in his joy. But why? Are his teammates not happy that not even the superstar could free his hometown club from relegation worries since his return at the beginning of the year? Not at all. The reason for his solo jubilation is a different one: the supposed goal wasn't one at all. While the Brazilian had already turned towards the corner flag, the opposing goalkeeper Sergio Rochet was able to clear the ball from the line with a quick turn and a dive - Neymar celebrated alone a goal that didn't exist, while behind him the game continued normally after the goalkeeper's kick-off. Arguing with a fan in the relegation battle Particularly bitter: this Neymar goal would have been an important one. At the time, Santos was trailing 1-2, so it would have meant equalizing shortly before the end and thus earning a point in the relegation battle. The situation is getting increasingly dire for Neymar and Co. Currently, Santos is in 17th place, the relegation spot, after nine defeats in 15 games. Not even the final whistle could finally free Neymar from this bitter evening: he got into an argument with a Santos fan in the stands and got into a heated discussion. He justified himself on Instagram today, saying that the fan had insulted him in an unacceptable way. This article was translated into English by Artificial Intelligence.

Inter Milan & Argentina Starlet Declares ‘FIFA Club World Cup Helped Me A Lot, Vieira Convinced Me To Join Genoa'

Valentin Carboni says the Club World Cup with Inter Milan 'helped' him, while Patrick Vieira was key in convincing him to join Genoa. The 20-year-old spoke to Ligurian newspaper Il Secolo XIX, via FCInter1908, in an interview in today's print edition. It has been a busy summer for attacking midfielder Valentin Carboni. The Argentine had spent the majority of last season on the sidelines recovering from a knee injury that he'd suffered in the fall. However, Carboni was part of the Inter squad at the Club World Cup this summer. And the young attacking midfielder got his share of playing time at that tournament. Not only that, Carboni enjoyed something of a star turn. The 20-year-old came off the bench to score Inter's stoppage time winner in a group stage match against Urawa Red Diamonds. Now, Carboni has joined Genoa on loan. He will hope that this spell with the Grifone provides him with the platform to play regularly in Serie A and really hit his stride. Valentin Carboni: 'Club World Cup Helped Me, Vieira Convinced Me To Join Genoa' CHARLOTTE, NORTH CAROLINA – JUNE 30: Valentin Carboni #45 of FC Internazionale Milano is challenged by Hercules #35 of Fluminense FC during the FIFA Club World Cup 2025 round of 16 match between FC Internazionale Milano and Fluminense FC at Bank of America Stadium on June 30, 2025 in Charlotte, North Carolina. (Photo by) Valentin Carboni descried his goal against Urawa Reds as 'liberating.' 'I was just coming back after a few months,' the Argentine noted. 'That tournament was important for me.' Carboni called it 'a perfect comeback.' He aded that 'I'll use it as a starting point.' Then, the 20-year-old said that 'I'm feeling good physically.' 'I've joined up with [Genoa] a bit late, but I started working with the group. They're slowly getting me back to the best shape possible.' Meanwhile, Carboni commented that he 'already knew there was interest' from Genoa. 'But with the injury at Marseille, I wasn't playing.' 'The Club World Cup with Inter was a chance for me to show that I had recovered,' added the Argentine. And as far as joining Genoa, Carboni said that 'The fans, the stadium, an Vieira calling me convinced me.'
