🚨 Police investigate Kike Salas for betting on his own matches

According to the digital publication, the Police have found messages on the Sevillista's phone that indicate he forced yellow cards in five matches to benefit from bets.
In addition, they have discovered that people close to him, such as a contact identified as "Richi", also profited from these activities, even using fake accounts to place the bets.

The investigation began in January 2025, when the National Police intervened in a Sevilla FC training session and Kike Salas was taken in for questioning, although he exercised his right not to testify.
Sevilla FC then issued a statement showing respect for the judicial process and the presumption of innocence, but condemned any fraudulent conduct in sport.
According to several Sevillian media outlets, it was this case that halted his transfer to Lazio in the last winter transfer market.
The investigation indicates that, although Salas did not profit directly, his entourage did.
LaLiga, for its part, contemplates severe sanctions in these cases for both the players and the family members or entourage involved.

But the excitement in Vancouver for the Bavarian native was already evident in scenes before the game. When he arrived at the stadium, he was greeted enthusiastically by the fans and celebrated like a rock star. "I have mixed feelings. The result is disappointing, to be honest," said Müller after the game, adding: "I had my moment right away, scored, the crowd went crazy – but the goal was taken back. I'm still happy to be here.

Have Your Say: Datsyuk's Rookie Season
Detroit legend Pavel Datsyuk reflects on rookie season in recent interview. Pavel Datsyuk: Red Wings Rookie Season Felt Like Arriving On A "Crazy Planet" It's hard to believe nowadays that the legendary 2001-02 Detroit Red Wings roster featured an astounding 10 future Hall of Fame players, a feat that we'll likely never witness again in the modern NHL. Pavel Datsyuk recently reflected on his 2001-02 rookie season with the Detroit Red Wings, describing it as feeling like he had landed on a "crazy planet" due to the overwhelming talent and star power around him, including 10 future Hall of Famers and legendary coach Scotty Bowman. Despite not speaking English and being surrounded by NHL icons, Datsyuk quietly absorbed everything, aided by fellow Russians Igor Larionov and Sergei Fedorov. His dedication and talent quickly made him a key player, eventually earning him three Selke Trophies and a place in the Hockey Hall of Fame in 2024 as the 10th inductee from that iconic Red Wings team.
