Lionel Messi appears to HEADBUTT Club World Cup opponent as tempers flare in Inter Miami's opening match

LIONEL MESSI appeared to headbutt an Al-Ahly star as tempers flared during the Club World Cup opener. Inter Miami were held to a goalless draw by the Egyptian side in the early hours of Sunday morning. 4 4 The revamped 32-team tournament held in the US got off to a fiery start and Messi was at the centre of the controversy. Inter Miami had a corner in the second-half and the eight-time Ballon d'Or winner waited in the box. But before the ball came in, Messi lost his cool after something was seemingly said by Al-Ahly defender Yasser Ibrahim. The pair then walked towards each other and squared up. Messi appeared to deliberately knock his head into Ibrahim as they stood face-to-face before they were separated by team-mates. Both players went unpunished and VAR did not review the incident. Fans were left shocked, with one saying: "Messi is shameless." JOIN SUN VEGAS: GET £50 BONUS But others disagreed, writing: "He puts his head forward into Messi - Messi was just acting in self defence after he was headbutted first." It came during an ill-tempered match that saw five bookings, including ones for both Messi's old Barcelona pals Sergio Busquets and Luis Suarez. Group A is finely poised after Palmeiras and Porto also played out a 0-0 draw last night. Inter Miami face the Portuguese side next on Thursday night. 4 4

Contract clause has 16-cap Scotland international in demand Scotland international Oli McBurnie is at the centre of a transfer tussle after emerging as a key transfer target for three EFL Championship clubs this summer after Las Palmas' relegation from La Liga activated a clause in his contract. The 28-year-old striker enjoyed a fruitful campaign in the Spanish top flight last season, after moving to the club with fellow international teammate Scott McKenna, providing nine goal contributions in 34 appearances.

Several EFL Championship have now been alerted to McBurnie's availability, with big spending Birmingham City said to be leading the chase. Former clubs Swansea City and Sheffield United have also been credited with an interest, as well as Hull City.

According to SunSport, the 25-year-old is being eyed up by several clubs in the German top flight after providing 36 goal contributions last season - including a memorable brace in Celtic's 3-1 win over RB Leipzig in the UEFA Champions League. The report claims the Scottish champions do not want to lose Kuhn, but that his ambition to play for the German national team means a move back to the Bundesliga could appeal to him. 'People know playing for Germany is my ambition,' Kuhn said in March. 'I have always said that for them to come for me, I would have to get my assists and get my goals with Celtic. My goal is to break into the national team.' Nominated for the PFA Scotland Player of the Year, Kuhn cost just £3million when he moved to Celtic Park from Austrian club Rapid Vienna in January 2024.

Celtic's Nicolas Kuhn 'wanted' by RB Leipzig in £15m move

The Hoops are braced for bids for the 25-year-old after he showcased his ability in his first full season with the club, prompting speculation linking him with Brentford and Brighton in the English Premier League. After a stunning start to the campaign, the German's form tailed off slightly but that hasn't been enough to deter any suitors. And the Scottish Sun is reporting RB Leipzig could offer £15million to take their former player back. It's claimed the Bundesliga side are weighing up making a move this summer after Kuhn scored twice against them in the Champions League. Read more: He also netted against Bayern in the knockout stages and shone against Lazio, showing he can cut it on the highest of stages. Overall, 21 goals and 15 assists across the season has attracted interest from around Europe. And that could mean a return to a former club, although Leipzig are just one of several German top flight clubs taking an interest. Kuhn was with Leipzig as a young player from 2015 to 2018 before moving on to Ajax and then Bayern Munich, featuring for both Euro giants' second teams. It was a move to Austrians Rapid Wien that really kickstarted his career as that is where Celtic spotted him before luring him to Scotland in January 2024. A tough settling in period during the latter part of that campaign followed but the 2024/25 campaign was a sparkling one for him.
