Marseille puts Rabiot and Rowe on transfer list for reported locker room fight
MARSEILLE, France (AP) — Marseille's season is already in turmoil after France midfielder Adrien Rabiot and England Under-21 forward Jonathan Rowe were put on the transfer list Tuesday and told to leave the club for 'unacceptable behavior.' The pair reportedly argued and fought in the locker room after Friday's 1-0 loss to Rennes, which prevailed with a stoppage-time goal despite being down to 10 players in their Ligue 1 season opener. Marseille's move puts doubt into team-building plans for coach Roberto De Zerbi just one week before the 1993 Champions League winner takes part in the draw for this season's competition. 'This decision was taken due to unacceptable behavior in the dressing room after the match against Rennes,' Marseille said in a statement. Rabiot and Rowe have been exiled 'in agreement with the technical staff and in accordance with the club's internal code of conduct,' said the club whose majority owner is American businessman Frank McCourt, the former Los Angeles Dodgers owner. Marseille qualified for the Champions League by finishing runner-up to Paris Saint-Germain in Ligue 1 in De Zerbi's first season at the club. The 30-year-old joined as a free agent last September after his contract expired at Juventus. Weeks earlier, Rowe had moved from English second-tier Norwich on an initial loan deal that was made permanent before this season. The transfer window in Europe closes Sept. 1. ___ AP soccer:

MORE — La Liga schedule, table, top scorers For live updates and highlights throughout Real Madrid vs Osasuna check out PST's live blog coverage below. How to watch Real Madrid vs Osasuna live, stream link and start time Kick off time: 3pm ET Tuesday (August 19)Venue: Santiago Bernabeu -- MadridTV Channel/Streaming: ESPN+ Real Madrid vs Osasuna live updates - by Andy Edwards Real Madrid vs Osasuna live score: 0-0 Goalscorers: None Real Madrid starting lineup Courtois - Alexander-Arnold, Militao, Huijsen, Carreras - Tchouameni, Valverde, Guler - Diaz, Vinicius, Mbappe Osasuna starting lineup Herrera - Boyomo, Catena, Cruz - Rosier, Moncayola, Torro, Bretones - Garcia, Oroz, Budimir Of course, he knows the famous stadium extremely well as a key player for Real over many years as he was instrumental in UEFA Champions League and La Liga title wins. But this is different. Real have to make a big step forward this season to catch up with reigning La Liga champions, and bitter rivals, Barcelona. The Club World Cup was ultimately a disappointment this summer as Real were knocked out at the semifinal stage by eventual champs PSG, with Kylian Mbappe missing several games due to a stomach issue. But he's back and Real have new signings Trent Alexander-Arnold, Dean Huijsen, Franco Mastantuono and Alvaro Carreras, while young striker Gonzalo Garcia continues to make a name for himself. Osasuna will be dangerous and punched well above their weight last season as they finished ninth and narrowly missed out on European qualification. Real Madrid team news, focus Both Alexander-Arnold and Huijsen are set to make their La Liga debuts for Real Madrid and this is a big moment for them to show they've settled in following the Club World Cup. Alonso's preferred style of play is still a work in progress, while it will be intriguing to see how Vinicius and Mbappe perform in attack as they aim to start the season off right. Jude Bellingham, Eduardo Camavinga, Ferland Mendy and Endrick continue to recovery from injury. Osasuna team news, focus Since being promoted to La Liga in 2019, Osasuna have been so consistent with six-straight finishes inside the top 11 and they were Copa del Rey runners up in 2023. Croatian striker Ante Budimir is their star as he scored 21 goals in La Liga last season and the veteran leads the line superbly. Real Madrid vs Osasuna prediction This will probably be uncomfortable at times for Real Madrid but they should get the job done. Real Madrid 3-1 Osasuna.

Richard Hughes' genius on display in £100m Liverpool masterclass
Richard Hughes has been given his flowers by a lot of Liverpool fans this summer for his work as the club's sporting director, making the big calls and securing well-negotiated deals for the Reds. There are countless examples of his genius, be it the amount he secured for Jarell Quansah alongside a buy-back clause, the sell-on clause he got for Tyler Morton, the arrangement for Florian Wirtz's record-breaking transfer, the £65m Luis Diaz deal or the £25m move for Ben Doak, again with a buy-back clause. He's been rampant all summer and his ruthless style has been Box Office. 🔴 Shop the LFC 2025/26 adidas home range 🚨2025/26 LFC x adidas range🚨 LFC x adidas Shop the away range TODAY LFC x adidas Shop the home range today! LFC x adidas Shop the goalkeeper range today LFC x adidas Shop the new adidas range today! But the over-arching project he's been overseeing is by far his greatest achievement, simply getting everything over the line that Arne Slot has wanted him to. The sheer amount of transfers has been mind-boggling and he - alongside the rest of the recruitment team - deserves a hell of a lot of credit. 🔴 Shop the LFC 2025/26 adidas away range It's now been made clear just how well Hughes has done and the £100m arrangement he's agreed throughout the summer is nothing short of staggering when you look at it in the right context. Hughes' genius transfer window According to The Athletic's latest deal sheet, the Reds have pulled off an extraordinary feat. In their report, it said: "Two summers ago, Chelsea spent nearly £400m on new players, accounting for 16 per cent of the division's total. Liverpool are not quite at that mark, though their current 13 per cent share will increase if they sign [Alexander] Isak. "Liverpool's impressive sales this summer mean that their net spend is around £100m, significantly less than Manchester United and Arsenal, and around the same as Sunderland, Manchester City, Newcastle and Spurs. There's been plenty of intra-Premier League trading too, but even with Bournemouth recouping a net £111m, the division's total net spend sits beyond £1bn." Of course, the £100m net spend is not just one deal, but the collaboration of a number of deals, but for the amount of quality Liverpool have signed to cost such a reasonable amount is remarkable. Isak's potential arrival, alongside an approach for Marc Guehi would inevitable cause a significant change to the figure we're quoting right now, but with Harvey Elliott and others still to be moved on, the Reds are unlikely to see their net spend break £200m which makes this summer a huge success. Three goalkeepers, two full-backs, a centre-back (potentially two), two strikers and a midfielder have all made their way through the door, bolstering the academy and upgrading Arne Slot's squad. A few teething issues still remain with the team in terms of tactical understanding and depth, but when everything is all said and done, you can't help but feel in awe of what Hughes has created. Liverpool are primed to deliver a really solid run at defending the title and that's a real achievement.
