Grealish appeared to take dig at Guardiola with social media post GREAL GOOD CHANCE Newcastle ready to rescue Jack Grealish from Man City hell but will only consider loan transfer for £300k-a-week star Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) NEWCASTLE will try to rescue Jack Grealish from his Manchester City hell - but only on loan.

Magpies boss Eddie Howe will turn his interest into an approach if City look at sending Grealish and his £300,000-a-week wages elsewhere for the season. And that will become even more of a Newcastle priority if offers come in for Anthony Gordon over the summer. Grealish will have a few clubs after him. READ MORE ON JACK GREALISH Pep's the word Grealish told his Man City career is OVER and he can go for cut-price fee WATCH EVERY MATCH OF THE CLUB WORLD CUP 2025 LIVE ON DAZN But it is unlikely that any will pay a fee and take on his monster salary. Even a straight loan is a challenge for most. So City may have to sponsor a deal and pay part of his wage for a year. As previously reported by SunSport, the Citizens face taking a £60m hit on their record transfer. CASINO SPECIAL - BEST CASINO BONUSES FROM £10 DEPOSITS Grealish - who managed just one Prem goal and one assist in 2024-25 - has been told there is no way back for him under Pep Guardiola. And the playmaker appeared to take a swipe at his boss on social. Jack Grealish chokes back tears in heartbreaking interview as Man City ace pays tribute to brother who died 25 years ago He responded to comments from ex-Aston Villa team-mate Gabriel Agbonlahor regarding the gaffer's decision to give Claudio Echeverri his City debut in the FA Cup final - and leave Grealish on the bench. Agbonhalor said: "I think towards the end of the season, it felt to me like it got a bit personal. "Bringing on a young kid for his debut in an FA Cup final when you're chasing a goal, when you've got someone who's had the career Jack's had just seemed a bit odd. "That seemed a bit personal to me, like a last little dig to get you out, to upset you, to (make) you want to move. But we've seen this before from Pep. 7 7 TRANSFER NEWS LIVE: ALL THE LATEST FROM THE SUMMER WINDOW "Pep can be ruthless at times. If he feels that you're not part of his future plans, he will get rid of you." When talkSPORT posted the clip to Instagram, Grealish commented, appearing to point to how many sub appearances he's made: "What u want me to do score a hatty in 20?" Kevin De Bruyne suffered a similar fate by being pushed out by the Spanish manager - with Kyle Walker and John Stones likely to follow suit. AC Milan playmaker Tijjani Reijnders is on his way for £46.2m and City are understood to have agreed a £30m deal for Lyon ace Rayan Cherki. Rayan Ait-Nouri's £34m move from Wolves should also be finalised in time for him to fly out with City next week. 7 Grealish responded to comments on social media Credit: Instagram @talksport 7 Eddie Howe is preparing in case Anthony Gordon leaves Credit: Getty

Watch: Ex-Celtic man nets to send country to 2026 World Cup
Myung-Bo Hong's side took on Iraq away from home as they secured their place at the tournament, which will be held across the United States, Canada, and Mexico next summer. Read more: Oh started on the bench and was introduced at the hour mark. Three minutes later, South Korea took the lead through Jin-Gyu Kim, who was brought on at the break. Ex-Celtic man Oh then sealed the victory with eight minutes remaining, firing home, first-time, from inside the box after a fine low cross. Oh Hyeon-gyu scores his 3rd goal in 5 games to push the KNT lead to 2 and all but seal Korea's 11th WORLD CUP qualification! Jeon Jin-woo debuts for the KNT with an assist! 🫡🇰🇷#오현규 #krcgenk — Joel Kim (@KNTFootball) June 5, 2025 Current Parkhead winger Yang Hyun-jun was an unused substitute in the match. His old teammate, Oh, spent a year and a half in Glasgow's east end, making 47 appearances across all competitions. He was sold to Genk last summer and has found his feet with the Belgian top-flight outfit, scoring 12 times in 41 games. Brought to Celtic by Ange Postecoglou to replace Giorgos Giakoumakis, the 24-year-old never really got going in green and white. His strike against Iraq on Friday was only his third for his country. Up top, Adam Idah is the sole recognised striker currently at Celtic. Brendan Rodgers' desire to sign a new number nine in January following Kyogo Furuhashi's exit was apparent. His wish wasn't granted, though, and Daizen Maeda, rather successfully, was utilised as a striker in the second half of last season. The Scottish Premiership champions have reportedly put a £21 million valuation on his services ahead of the summer transfer window.

Trump slaps new travel ban on 12 countries
WASHINGTON - US President Donald Trump signed a new travel ban Wednesday targeting 12 countries including Afghanistan, Iran and Yemen, reviving one of the most controversial measures from his first term. Trump said the measure was spurred by a makeshift flamethrower attack on a Jewish protest in Colorado that US authorities blamed on an man they said was in the country illegally. The move bans all travel to the United States by nationals of Afghanistan, Myanmar, Chad, Republic of the Congo, Equatorial Guinea, Eritrea, Haiti, Iran, Libya, Somalia, Sudan and Yemen. Trump also imposed a partial ban on travelers from seven countries: Burundi, Cuba, Laos, Sierra Leone, Togo, Turkmenistan and Venezuela. Some temporary work visas from these countries will be allowed. The bans go into effect on Monday, the White House said. "The recent terror attack in Boulder, Colorado has underscored the extreme dangers posed to our country by the entry of foreign nationals who are not properly vetted," Trump said in a video message from the Oval Office posted on X. "We don't want them." WORLD CUP, OLYMPICS EXCLUDED The ban will however not apply to athletes competing in the 2026 World Cup, which the United States is co-hosting with Canada and Mexico, as well as the 2028 Los Angeles Olympics, Trump's order said. Trump separately on Wednesday announced a ban on visas for foreign students who are set to begin attending Harvard University, ramping up his crackdown on what he regards as a bastion of liberalism. The US leader compared the new measures to the "powerful" ban he imposed on a number of mainly Muslim countries in his first term, which caused travel disruption across the world. Trump said that 2017 ban had stopped the United States from suffering terror attacks that happened in Europe. "We will not let what happened in Europe happen in America," Trump said. "We cannot have open migration from any country where we cannot safely and reliably vet and screen." Venezuela hit back by warning that the United States itself was a dangerous destination. "Being in the United States is a great risk for anyone, not just for Venezuelans," Venezuela's Interior Minister Diosdado Cabello said after the announcement, warning citizens against travel there. Trump's new travel ban could, however, face legal challenges, as have many of the drastic measures he has taken in his whirlwind return to office. 'TERRORISTS' The White House unveiled the new ban with virtually no warning, minutes after Trump had addressed some 3,000 political appointees from his balcony at a celebratory "summer soiree." Trump also made the announcement with no reporters present, an unusual move after sharing many of his most headline-grabbing policy announcements at signing ceremonies in the Oval Office. But rumors of a new Trump travel ban had circulated following the attack in Colorado, with his administration vowing to pursue "terrorists" living in the US on visas. Suspect Mohammed Sabry Soliman, an Egyptian national according to court documents, is alleged to have thrown fire bombs and sprayed burning gasoline at a group of people who had gathered on Sunday in support of Israeli hostages held by Hamas. US Homeland Security officials said Soliman was in the country illegally, having overstayed a tourist visa, but that he had applied for asylum in September 2022. "President Trump is fulfilling his promise to protect Americans from dangerous foreign actors that want to come to our country and cause us harm," White House Deputy Press Secretary Abigail Jackson said on X. Trump's proclamation gave specific reasons for each country in his proclamation, which says it is aimed at protecting the United States from "foreign terrorists and other national security" threats. Notably, Egypt was not on the list of countries facing travel restrictions. For Taliban-ruled Afghanistan and war-torn Libya, Sudan, Somalia and Yemen, it said they lacked "competent" central authorities for processing passports and vetting. Iran, with which the United States is in negotiations on a possible nuclear deal, was included as it is a "state sponsor of terrorism," the order said. "The impact of the ban will once again be felt by Americans who were denied the ability to see their loved ones at weddings, funerals, or the birth of a child," said National Iranian American Council president Jamal Abdi. For most of the other countries, Trump's order cited an above average likelihood that people would overstay their visas.
