Man United signs Rolfo after her 4-year stint at Barcelona
The 31-year-old Rolfö signed a contract until June 2027.
Rolfö, mostly used as a left-winger, made her 100th appearance for Sweden at the European Championship last month. She has 33 international goals.
She previously played her club soccer for Wolfsburg and Bayern Munich and won two Champions League titles with Barcelona, scoring the clinching goal in one of the finals.
United finished third in the Women's Super League last season and will play in the Champions League.
'The WSL is probably the strongest league in the world right now,' Rolfö said, 'so that was a big part of the appeal of coming here, as well as the chance to help the team establish itself in the Champions League.'

Hugo Ekitike does something only Darwin Nunez had done before on Liverpool debut
Hugo Ekitike became just the second player to register a goal and an assist on his Premier League debut as he continued his impressive start to life at Liverpool on Friday. The summer signing from Eintracht Frankfurt opened his Reds account in the Community Shield last weekend and he followed that up with the opening goal against Bournemouth at Anfield. In the second half he claimed an assist, as his pass was collected by Dominik Szoboszlai, who did most of the hard work as he placed a neat finish into the bottom corner from the edge of the area. The only other Liverpool player in Liverpool's history to claim a goal and an assist on their Premier League debut is Darwin Nunez, who achieved the feat against Fulham at Craven Cottage in 2022.

Liverpool new boy Leoni, who was in the stands at Anfield for the Reds' Premier League opener, said he simply could not say no to a move to Merseyside when he found out about the club's interest in signing him. 'I'm very happy to be here. It's a really great sensation and I'm honoured to be here,' Leoni told club media. 'Yeah, a lot [of excitement]. I'm so honoured. I was very happy [about Liverpool being interested]. When I saw this I said, 'Wow, this is crazy.' I'm very happy.' He added: "It's one of the best clubs in the world. It's not possible to say no to this club. Yes, [it was] easy – because it's one of the best clubs in the world. I didn't say no!" Liverpool is still keen to sign Marc Guehi before the summer transfer window closes after completing a deal to sign Leoni. Leoni has signed a six-year deal at Anfield and will go straight into the first-team set-up, despite being just 18 years old. He takes the number of center-backs in Arne Slot's squad back up to four, following the departure of Jarell Quansah to Bayern Munich at the beginning of July. There remains some uncertainty surrounding the position though, with Ibrahima Konate's current contract due to expire next summer, and uncertainty surrounding the fitness of Joe Gomez, who has not appeared in a competitive game for Liverpool since February. The addition of Guehi alongside Leoni would add some stability to Liverpool's defense, and the club is expected to accelerate its pursuit of the England international as the end of the window approaches.

Report – Inter Milan & Basel Talks For Argentina U21 Star At Risk Of Collapse
Talks between Inter Milan and Basel for the transfer of defender Tomas Palacios are reportedly at risk of collapsing. This according to Italian outlet FCInterNews. They report that the two clubs cannot agree on the fee for a purchase option. Defender Tomas Palacios joined the Nerazzurri last summer. They reportedly paid a fee of over €10 million to sign him. However, so far Palacios has not exactly become a fixture in the Nerazzurri team. The young defender received only a couple of brief run-outs off the bench for Inter last summer. Then in January, Tomas Palacios joined Monza on loan. Inter & Basel Talks For Tomas Palacios At Risk Of Collapse MONZA, ITALY – MARCH 02: Nikola Vlasic of Torino is challenged by Tomas Palacios of Monza during the Serie A match between Monza and Torino at U-Power Stadium on March 02, 2025 in Monza, Italy. (Photo by) The intention for Palacios's loan at Monza was clearly for the young defender to receive more playing time. And the Argentine did certainly feature more than he had for Inter. However, at the same time, it was a difficult environment for Palacios. The Brianzoli were in a spiral towards relegation, and so it was often more experienced defenders who started. In any event, Tomas Palacios is back at Inter this summer after the end of his loan at the U-Power Stadium. Inter and Basel have been in talks for the Swiss side to sign Palacios on loan. However, according to FCInterNews, the negotiations are at risk of collapsing. The clubs have been unable to agree on a fee for a purchase option. Inter want to set it at €5-6 million, while Basel are hoping for lower.
