FC Porto has had an improved bid for Santos central defender Jair Filho turned down, with the Brazilian club insisting it wants to keep him until its season ends in December, according to Flashscore Portugal. Porto’s second offer, worth €12 million plus the permanent transfer of forward Wendel Silva back to Santos, followed an initial €7 million bid that had already been rejected. Santos has stayed firm on both proposals. The club is determined to hold onto Jair Filho through the end of the Brazilian season, when it is chasing promotion back to the top flight, rather than sell a…
In the pantheon of formidable left-arm orthodox spinners to have emerged from India’s stable, Manav Suthar has all the ingredients needed to belong.Having started his Test career against Afghanistan in June with a match haul of seven for 62, the 24-year-old’s stature has been further enhanced by bowling India to a 165-run victory over Sri Lanka in the first Test in Galle on Wednesday.

Contains some strong language.Available for over a yearAde Oladipo, Emily Eubank, and Liam Gough are back with another hard-hitting, no-holds-barred episode of The Punch Perfect Podcast on BBC Sounds! After a quick heads-up to mind young ears for a few explicit slips, the crew jumps headfirst into ‘The Clinch’ to take on a legendary mythical matchup debate.

Jamal Musiala shares an update via his social media after collapsing on the pitch for the second time in four days. The 23 year old Bayern Munich winger went down around six minutes after being subbed on in his side’s friendly with FC Heidenheim on Tuesday, having done the same in Saturday’s friendly against RB Leipzig. Players from both teams immediately gathered around him, with medics making their way onto the pitch to treat him, before he was able to walk off, with fans applauding. It as since been revealed that Jamal Musiala has been diagnosed with temporary episodes of…
Adames disputes McKenna’s account and insists the Irishman’s team did not respond with the same confidence once his representatives reached out. “My team reached out to McKenna team and guess the sparring didn’t go like he said. They’re scared as well!” Adames stated on X. The accusation pressures McKenna to demonstrate that his callout was serious. Discussing old sparring sessions attracts attention, but McKenna now has a championship belt and a reason to pursue Adames. What happened in the gym in 2019 cannot settle the argument. McKenna remembers those sessions one way, while Adames (25-1-1, 18 KOs) clearly remembers them…
Refusing a tune-up comes across as lazy, but it also reveals concern. A preliminary fight brings the possibility of losing before reaching the lucrative Eubank rematch. Jumping directly into the main event secures the money before anyone ruins the plan. There is no interest in working toward championship contention or testing himself against younger fighters near the top of the division. “My goal is not to come in and go, ‘Right, I’m back in the game. I want to be a world champion.’ I’m living in reality. The only person I would really come out for is clearly a Eubank…
Everton have allowed another transfer window to drift towards its closing stages with the same glaring hole in David Moyes’ squad. A specialist right-back remains badly needed, and the longer the wait continues, the more the position looks capable of undermining an otherwise solid summer at the Hill Dickinson Stadium. The departure of Seamus Coleman removed far more than a club captain. It also took away the Toffees’ most trusted natural option on that side following his remarkable 17-year stay on Merseyside. Coleman had barely featured during his final campaign, but Everton have still failed to secure the long-term successor…
