Real Betis are prepared to give up on a “dream” transfer for Manchester United outcast Antony as they are unable to do “anything crazy”.
Brazilian enjoyed loan spell last seasonPreference is to return to Spanish footballRed Devils want big fee from permanent dealFollow GOAL on WhatsApp! 🟢📱WHAT HAPPENED?
The Brazil international forward enjoyed a productive loan spell with the Spanish outfit during the second half of the 2024-25 campaign. He helped them to the Conference League final, while also rediscovering a lost spark after falling out of love with football at Old Trafford.

Antony remains surplus to requirements in Manchester, with Red Devils boss Ruben Amorim favouring other attacking options, and that is leaving the door open for a permanent move to be made.
DID YOU KNOW?
United are, however, demanding €40 million (£35m/$46m) from any sale – as they seek to avoid taking a Profit & Sustainability Rules (PSR) hit – and that valuation is far too high for Betis to consider.

GettyWHAT FAJARDO SAID
They are still clinging to the dream of reaching a compromise that allows Antony to return to Spain, but Betis’ sporting director Manu Fajardo told reporters when asked about the chances of getting that deal done: “Both parties want him to be here this season. Every day that passes allows us to dream of him being here. If Antony is here, it's because the numbers add up. The most important thing is the club's sustainability; we can't do anything crazy.
“It's okay to think big, but you also have to keep your feet on the ground. If he doesn't sign with a club, there are still options, but the deal would take place within the parameters we have budgeted at the club.”
Tottenham are being sued by former sponsors INEOS over alleged talks with rival car manufaturer Audi during Harry Kane’s move to Bayern Munich.

Spurs had already begun legal action against Ineos – owned by Manchester United part-owner Sir Jim Ratcliffe over allegations of a breach of contract. The north London club launched legal action in June over an alleged missed payment of £5m ($6.7m) relating to the Grenadier official 4×4 partner deal. INEOS now claim that Spurs entered sponsorship talks with car manufacturing Audi which were, at the time, exclusive to Ratcliffe’s firm, per the Telegraph.

The claims are being heard at the High Court and contain detail on the both side’s defence and how INEOS allegations are linked to Harry Kane. Kane left Tottenham in August 2023 and papers filed at court claim Spurs 'negotiations related to a proposed transfer of the club’s player Kane (‘Mr Kane’) to the German club FC Bayern Munich (‘Bayern Munich’).'
WHAT INEOS SAID
INEOS said: “The particulars of claim make no mention of a highly significant series of events by which the club, unbeknown to Ineos, started negotiating with a major competitor to Ineos with the intention of granting rights to that competitor which were exclusive to Ineos under the agreement.”

Tottenham have a daunting trip to Manchester City in the early kick-off on Saturday. Both teams made winning starts to the season, but Pep Guardiola has lost nine games against Spurs in his managerial career, only losing more against Liverpool (10).
Chelsea are reportedly ready to let Nicolas Jackson leave the club on loan in order to clear space for new arrivals.
Chelsea want GarnachoNeed to clear squad spaceHappy to sanction Jackson loan dealFollow GOAL on WhatsApp! 🟢📱WHAT HAPPENED?
According to TalkSPORT, Jackson will be allowed to exit Stamford Bridge on loan this transfer window as long as they receive a £10 million loan fee. Bundesliga champions Bayern Munich have reportedly reached an agreement with Jackson already, but Chelsea are holding out on a sizeable payment as part of any loan deal. The club's desire to sign Manchester United wantaway Alejandro Garnacho (potentially for a bargain fee of £25m) means they're happy for Jackson to leave in order to create extra squad space.

Speculation around Jackson's future ramped up with the arrival of forwards Joao Pedro and Liam Delap this summer, with the Senegal international left further down the pecking order as a result. This is despite a solid start to life at Chelsea — Jackson showed plenty of promise in 2024/25, and his goal tally reached double figures in both his first two seasons in the Premier League.
WHAT BAYERN MUNICH SAID
Bayern sporting director Christoph Freund has refused to bat away rumours about his club's interest in Jackson, telling reporters: "I'm not denying anything. There are a lot of names floating around. The transfer window is open until next Monday, and anything can still happen before then."

At this point, the 24-year-old will be desperate to complete a move away from West London. While reports suggest that he isn't yet training with Chelsea's so-called 'bomb squad', boss Enzo Maresca has been clear that Jackson is free to leave, and in this context a move to the German champions is likely to be tempting, even if it means competing with Harry Kane for game time.

They have held their tour together impressively but the last day promises to be a final challenge, potentially without one of their best batters

Did Australia miss a trick or two with their bowling on Day 4?
Usman Khawaja will be assessed ahead of the final day’s play in Ahmedabad to determine how much of a role he is able to play after suffering an injury to his left leg with Australia facing a fight to save the game.Khawaja appeared to jar his left knee attempting to take a boundary catch offered by Axar Patel at the start of the 148th over with the problem described as a lower leg issue that would continue to be evaluated. He hobbled back around the boundary to the dressing room and did not reappear.He was unable to open in the second innings due to the time spent off the field with Matt Kuhnemann handed the unexpected elevation as a nightwatcher. He successfully negotiated the day alongside Travis Head although was dropped by KS Bharat off R Ashwin’s last delivery.Related

'Things we love to see' – Virat Kohli ends hundred drought in Test cricket
Kohli 186, Axar 79 give India a chance to push for a win
Regardless of how well Khawaja pulls up overnight it appears likely he will be impeded in some way should he be able to bat and runners are no longer allowed in international cricket. He made a superb 180 in the first innings and has been Australia’s standout batter in the series with 333 runs at 47.57.In 2014, Khawaja had to undergo reconstructive surgery on his left knee after tearing his left anterior cruciate ligament and in 2018 suffered a meniscal tear when he twisted the same knee during a warm-up fielding drill during Australia’s Test series against Pakistan in the UAE. However, as of the close of play in Ahmedabad this injury was not specifically being related to his knee.With or without Khawaja, Australia will need to dig deep after two long days in the field where centuries from Shubman Gill and Virat Kohli, alongside another valuable hand from Axar, built India a 91-run lead.”It is going to be a big challenge obviously,” Alex Carey said. “We will put a fair bit of focus on that first hour of cricket and then we’ll see how that unfolds. Thought we did really well today minimise the lead.”After a number of years where Test cricket in India has generally been dominated by pitches in favour of the spinners, this match has reverted to another style: where a visiting team finds a large first-innings total isn’t big enough. There are similarities to the 2016-17 Test in Ranchi where Australia made 451 only for that to be dwarfed by India’s 603 which left them with a final-day battle for survival. They were able to achieve it through Shaun Marsh and Peter Handscomb.”We wanted to score more than 480,” Carey admitted. “Think the tail did a great job in finding us an extra 80-100 runs. Cameron Green’s innings was great and he’ll want to go bigger next time. Think anytime you post a decent score you put a bit of pressure back in the [opposition] changing room to then go big and some class players for India did that.”The Australians found some reasons to smile in the last session after a hot day in the middle•BCCIIn that Ranchi Test six years ago, Steve O’Keefe sent down 77 overs – the sixth-most in terms of balls bowled for an Australian spinner. This time it was the turn of Nathan Lyon to clock up the huge numbers as he hit 65, his most for a Test innings, narrowly overtaking the 64 he sent down in Galle last year. Both he and Todd Murphy, who continued to show outstanding control in his debut series, were never taken apart by India’s batters.It was another tough day for Australia’s quicks with Mitchell Starc picking up their lone success when he speared one through Axar. Starc was used sparingly by Smith for just five overs on the fourth day. Cameron Green was expensive, getting taken for 21 off an over shortly after lunch when he briefly attempted to implement a short-ball plan to Bharat who repeatedly pulled him over the short leg-side boundary.With Australia’s bowling potentially done for the series, it won’t be one their quicks will remember fondly. The combination of Starc, Green, Pat Cummins and Scott Boland have five wickets to show for their efforts. The pace-bowling average of 77.80 places it as the fourth-most expensive series for a cohort of Australian quicks. In comparison, India’s quicks have taken their 13 wickets at 33.53.After Green had completed what became his final spell, during which he had been dispatched for a brace of gorgeous boundaries by Kohli, Starc walked over to him on the outfield and offered a supportive arm around the shoulder. Many a bowler has had that treatment. After what happened in Delhi, Australia have held their tour together impressively, but the last day promises to be a final challenge and potentially without one of their best batters.

Paris Saint-Germain has officially unveiled their 2025-26 home kit, and once again, it's the deep, dependable "Midnight Navy Blue" colourway that takes centre stage, a nod to the club's timeless identity.

Additional design elements include French flag trim on the sleeve cuffs and a bespoke "Ici c’est Paris" inscription on the inner collar, further grounding the shirt in local pride. The collar and sleeves keep things neat and minimalist, with just a touch of red and white detailing, enough to feel fresh without straying from tradition. As expected, the Nike Swoosh and PSG crest are in their familiar spots, and while the kit doesn't scream for attention, its understated elegance and local flair pack a punch.

Garth, Gardner, Perry and Molineux ran through Bangladesh, bowling them out for 89 in 26.2 overs to set up the win
AAP27-Mar-2024A ruthless Australia showed little mercy to Bangladesh, thumping them by eight wickets to sweep their ODI series in Dhaka on Wednesday.Already 2-0 up, Alyssa Healy won the toss and had little hesitation in bowling. And opening pair Kim Garth and Ellyse Perry dominated early, removing the top three batters – Fargana Hoque (5), Sumaiya Akter (0) and Murshida Khatun (8) – by the end of the eighth over with just 24 on the board.Bangladesh never recovered, and stumbled throughout the innings, losing wickets at regular intervals to be bowled out for 89 in 26.2 overs.It could have been worse for Bangladesh, though, but Australia bowled 14 wides, helping extras finish as the top-scorer with 20. Captain Nigar Sultana was next best with 16, which she made off 39 deliveries.Garth, who had returned in place of the rested Megan Schutt, claimed 3 for 11 in seven overs to claim the Player-of-the-Match honours, while Ash Gardner, Perry and Sophie Molineux provided solid support.Australia didn’t waste much time to knock off the target with Healy (33 in 34 balls), Perry (27 not out in 28) and Beth Mooney (21 not out in 22) helping them get to 93 for 2 in 18.3 overs.The two wickets to fall were of Healy – leg before to Rabeya Khatun – and Phoebe Litchfield, who was caught and bowled by Sultana Khatun for 12.Gardner’s three-wicket haul earned her the Player-of-the-Series award, given her exploits in the opening matches. She made 32 and took 3 for 22 in the first ODI, and in the second claimed 2 for 22 and made an undefeated 20.Australia will now meet Bangladesh in three T20Is, the first of which will be played on Sunday, March 31, and will be followed by matches on Tuesday, April 2 and Thursday, April 4. All the games will be played in Dhaka.
Rain had the ultimate say in a match featuring four debutants
Danyal Rasool18-Apr-2024Rain ultimately had the final say in the first T20I between Pakistan and New Zealand. The weather forecast was tricky all day, with intermittent rain forcing a half-hour delay in the toss. No sooner than the toss, which New Zealand won and elected to bat first, was held that the heavens opened again, forcing another lengthy delay that brought the game to the verge of being called off without a ball being bowled.There was a glimmer of hope nearly three hours on, when a short pause in the rain allowed the ground to dry just about enough to ostensibly allow a 5-overs-a-side match, the shortest a T20 can be curtailed to. Shaheen Shah Afridi opened the bowling, and looked like his vintage best when he knocked back debutant Tim Robinson’s middle stump with a searing inswinger off the second ball.However, that was as much action as the weather would permit, with a drizzle resuming almost instantly after. This time, there was no time to play with, and the umpires immediately called the game off, with the players shaking hands. As per PCB policy, ticket refunds won’t be issued to spectators because the toss did take place.The unfortunate Robinson was one of four debutants in the match, with Pakistan handing T20I caps to Usman Khan, Irfan Khan and Abrar Ahmed.The second T20I will also be held in Rawalpindi, on Saturday.
