Chelsea put valuation on Nico Jackson as journalist details ‘most concerning part' of it all
Chelsea have apparently now put a transfer valuation on Nicolas Jackson's head as one journalist details the 'most concerning part'.
It's not exactly blown up with big Chelsea transfer news but this is probably because at the moment the club have been concentrating on playing in the Club World Cup.

I'm fully convinced Chelsea will go for a goalkeeper still this window but it is something that will happen later on in the window. And despite the Mike Maignan thing consistently being played down now, I can still see Chelsea going back for him.
There is also a situation bubbling up with Andrey Santos, who will be disappointed not to have played yet for Chelsea in the Club World Cup and will surely be weighing up his own future right now. The Santos noise is soon going to start increasing.
Chelsea hope for patience from Santos
Santos is going to be upset with his lack of minutes but Chelsea are hoping that he is going to be patient with it,

A report from The Guardian over the weekend suggests it is to be hoped that Santos, who has been linked with Bayern Munich, is ready to be patient. Getting no minutes against Flamengo will be a disappointment given that the Brazil international played for their great rivals, Vasco da Gama, but it is important to maintain perspective.
Santos is still a newcomer, after all, and will surely be given an opportunity to prove that he can compete with Enzo Fernández.

The Athletic wrote on it that the most concerning part of Nicolas Jackson's apology statement was the admission that he still does not fully understand how the Flamengo red card happened.
And according to Fabrizio Romano, Chelsea value Nicolas Jackson at between €55-60m, which is around £50m.

Official: Jules Kounde renews his contract at Barcelona until 2030
As was expected, FC Barcelona have confirmed that key defender Jules Kounde has signed a new contract with the club until 2030. The 26-year-old French international's previous deal still had two years left on it. However, considering his contributions and importance in the team, the Blaugrana have acted swiftly to tie him down to a new deal. Since joining Barcelona in 2022, Kounde has grown in stature within the side with each passing season. The Frenchman has excelled as a right-back in recent seasons, making the position his own. The new deal, running until 2030, is a more than deserved reward for the versatile defender who etched himself in Barcelona folklore with his match-winning goal against Real Madrid in the Copa del Rey final last season. With Kounde's contract signing, Barcelona have now renewed almost every key member of the team, with the likes of Ronald Araujo, Pedri, Gavi, Raphinha, and Lamine Yamal all penning new deals this year. A permanent fixture in Hansi Flick's lineup, Kounde is expected to start in Barcelona's La Liga opener against Mallorca tomorrow and will hope to celebrate his renewal with a solid performance.

Liverpool signs teenage Italian defender Giovanni Leoni
LIVERPOOL, England (AP) — Liverpool's offseason spending passed 300 million pounds ($400 million) after completing the signing of 18-year-old Parma defender Giovanni Leoni on Friday. The Italy Under-19 international was contracted for six years for 26 million pounds plus add-ons. He was to be at Anfield for the Premier League opener against Bournemouth on Friday night. Leoni previously played for Padova and Sampdoria. He joined Parma a year ago and impressed. Liverpool captain Virgil van Dijk and Ibrahima Konate were the established center backs, and Leoni will vie with Joe Gomez to challenge them. 'Because it's one of the best clubs in the world it's not possible to say no to this club,' Leoni told 'I'm so honored. I was very happy (about Liverpool being interested). When I saw this I said, 'Wow, this is crazy.'' Liverpool also remained interested in Crystal Palace center back Marc Guehi, although discussions have stalled over a fee for a player in the final year of his contract. Despite signing eight new players, Liverpool has recouped almost 200 million pounds in sales following the departures of Luis Diaz, Darwin Nunez, Trent Alexander-Arnold, Jarell Quansah, Caoihmhin Kelleher, Tyler Morton and Nat Phillips.

Mallorca boss opens up on facing Barcelona in La Liga opener – ‘They are in great form'
Mallorca manager Jagoba Arrasate has shared his thoughts ahead of his team's La Liga 2025/26 opener against Barcelona. Speaking to the media, the 47-year-old addressed several topics, including the challenge of taking on Hansi Flick's side and the special situation of Pablo Torre, who will face his former club. From the very start, Arrasate acknowledged the difficulty of the task ahead. 'With a perfect match, it goes without saying that they are the league champions. They have had a good pre-season, and I think they are in great form,' he said. He stressed that Mallorca must be at their best defensively while still looking to attack. 'We have to get closer to our best version and it all depends on defending well against a team that is capable of creating many scoring chances in attack. 'Today they have normalised that in any game they can score four or five goals against any opponent and that is one of the keys, but we also have to attack them and to do so we must be fluid with the ball. In short, we have to get closer to excellence.' Mallorca's tactical approach Arrasate outlined how Mallorca could look to exploit Barcelona tactically. 'Barça stifles you a lot when you play the ball out, you see a lot of space behind their defense, but it's not easy to reach,' he admitted. He noted their tactical flexibility, adding, 'We'll see how they play. They start with a 4-3-3, but then they often modify that formation and use a three-man formation, almost a 3-2-5, and that's where we have to adjust with the midfielders. 'It's not easy, but if we're playing in a zonal position, if we're doing well, it's easier to intervene.' Pablo Torre's return Pablo Torre will face Barcelona as a Mallorca player. (Photo by) Speaking about Pablo Torre, who joined Mallorca this summer with Barcelona retaining a buy-back clause, Arrasate was full of praise. 'He has adapted very well, he's a player who suits us wonderfully. The other day, he had a great game against Hamburg. 'He's very motivated because he likes to play, to be a protagonist and I understand that since it's Barça, it will be special for him. 'We've talked a little about what Barça is all about. I see him very excited about this project, with this challenge of being important at Mallorca, and I hope he shows that from day one.' La Liga in Miami Finally, on the Villarreal-Barça match being played in Miami, Arrasate responded with a touch of sarcasm. 'I have some friends in Miami, some good pelotari who're still there, and I'm sure they've taken it as good news.' On a serious note, he added, 'I don't like it, but it's what I said before: there are clubs, and we're part of it. The garrison has been eating its fill for a while. 'If we think there are things that need to change, we have to transfer it to the club, and the club has to go to LaLiga. I think things have to be done differently.' Source: Mundo Deportivo
