🎙️ Gastón Martirena discusses his future at Racing
The 25-year-old Uruguayan footballer, who is going through a great sporting present at La Academia, begins to be sought after by clubs from abroad. Gastón Martirena is one of the key players that Gustavo Costas' Racing has, and for a few weeks now, there has been interest from Russia. There has not been a formal offer yet, but the Uruguayan player spoke about his future in an interview he gave to the press in his country. Advertisement "It has been rumored that I'm going to leave, but there are no proposals. On the 17th, I have to report to Racing because I'm a player for the club," Martirena said in a conversation with Polideportivo de Canal 12. Information points to the fact that Spartak Moscow could offer around $10 million for his transfer. After winning the CONMEBOL Sudamericana, he had already been sought after by Zenit, Krasnodar, and Flamengo from Brazil. "I want to stay and play the Copa Libertadores because we see that we have a chance, that the possibility is there, but I also want to keep growing, take advantage of the opportunities, because I don't know what can happen later...", he concluded. Advertisement When referring to Russia as a destination, he showed doubts "because of the war issue" and being far from his family, something that doesn't tempt him too much. Although he doesn't rule out the possibility for financial reasons: "But I also think a lot about the fact that I'm going to be a father, I'm 25 years old, whether I like it or not, it's Europe. If I have to leave, I'll have the possibility to take other steps. The financial aspect is very high and I don't have anything, I want to keep growing and take advantage."

Ex-Brazil star Hulk celebrates sixth anniversary with his ex-wife's niece and posts emotional message
HULK celebrated six years with his ex-wife's niece with an emotional social media post. The former Brazil forward, 38, caused shockwaves on the pitch with his ferocious power and goalscoring exploits on the pitch. 3 And he certainly caused a stir away from football when he split from former wife of 12 years Iran Angelo de Souza, with whom he had three children. Within months, he started dating her niece Camila Sousa Angelo in April 2019. And now they have been together for six years - including formally tying the knot in marriage in January 2025. Hulk took to social media on Tuesday to mark their initial anniversary. He posted a photo kissing his new wife Camila to his 4.6million Instagram followers. Hulk captioned it: "Six years by your side and I can only thank God for our story. "Each day is a new blessing, every moment a new memory. "May our love continue to grow with strength, respect and happiness. "I love you, my wife, my life!" He then added the date "20/04/2020" with ring, heart and praying emojis. Watch ex-Brazil star Hulk incredibly miss from a yard out with chance that was easier to score for Atletico Mineiro It is understood that is when they initially married due to Camila needing a visa to stay in China where he was playing at the time. They welcomed daughter Zaya in 2022 and then had Aisha last year. The couple were all smiles in the sunshine in January when they officially got married in Hulk's hometown of Campina Grande. A sea of roses, huge chandeliers and artwork filled the church, named The Diocesan Cathedral of Our Lady of the Conception, where the ceremony took place. But the relationship caused controversy in the family, with his ex-wife Iran's sister Rayassa taking to Instagram to hit out at the couple and their wedding for his "betrayal". She wrote: 'Today is a hard day to swallow, a day that reveals how far betrayal can go when it comes from the people we least expect. "It is sad to realise that Judas is not only in ancient stories, sometimes he sleeps under the same roof, eats at the same table and, at the right moment, stabs himself in the back. "Wanting what belongs to someone else, wanting to live the life of someone who trusted you, is a reflection of an empty heart, incapable of creating its own happiness." Former Porto and Zenit man Hulk is still playing professionally, racking up more than 120 goals for Atletico Mineiro since signing in 2021. He earned 49 caps for Brazil, finding the net 11 times. 3
