8M a year for Wijnaldum and PSG think they 'hijacked' the deal๐
Barca were never going to bid any higher with Laporta at base(Bartomeu would have responded with a 12M offer)
Laporta's clarity just be applauded- Play for the badge, not the money
Georginio Wijnaldum has decided to join Paris Saint-Germain. Barcelona have NO intention to raise their bid after they agreement ready by 2 weeks and medicals planned. ๐จ๐ณ๐ฑ
Gini is now set to accept PSG proposal until 2024 with salary more than doubled [compared to Barรงa bid].
Allegations of massive irregularities have rocked the KPSC Veterinary Officer recruitment for 400 posts.
After results were declared on July 17, over 50 candidates filed a police complaint, alleging irregularities, bribery and manipulation in the selection process. They have demanded that the recruitment be cancelled and conducted afresh.
An audio clip circulating in connection with the case reveals government jobs were being sold for โน80 lakh through middlemen.
While Congress speaks of transparency, serious questions are being raised about recruitment under its own government in Karnataka.

๐จ BREAKING: Robert Lewandowski left Spotify Camp Nou at 00:08 in the night.
He spent hours walking across every meter of the Camp Nou pitch with his friends and family. Singing, dancing, taking hundreds of photos and soaking in every final moment.
He even wanted to take pictures with EVERY single club staff member, one by one.
He simply didnโt want to leave the stadium. He didnโt want the night to end. ๐๐ฅฒ

๐จRobert Lewandowski on how hard it was for him to leave Bayern Munich for Barcelona
๐ฃ๏ธ Robert Lewandowski:
โWhen I had to make the decision to join Barcelona, it was honestly one of the most difficult decisions of my life. At Bayern Munich, I had everything. We were winning trophies every season, competing for every title possible, and personally I was in one of the best moments of my career. One or two years before joining Barรงa, I had already won everything there was to win with Bayern. Many people asked me: โWhy leave a perfect situation?โ
But football is not only about comfort. Sometimes you feel something bigger inside you.
At that moment, Barcelona were in a very difficult situation. Not only financially, but also emotionally as a club. When we played against them in the Champions League with Bayern, I remember feeling that something was missing. You could see the stadium, the fans, the historyโฆ but it did not feel like the Barcelona that everyone respected for many years. It was strange because this club has always represented greatness, personality, beautiful football.
And after those games in Munich and Barcelona, I started thinking a lot. I knew that if one day I had the opportunity to join Barรงa, I could help change things. Not alone, of course, because one player never changes everything, but I felt I could bring experience, mentality, leadership and hunger back to the dressing room.
Many people thought I was crazy to leave Bayern at that stage of my career. They said Barcelona was finished, that the club was too broken, too unstable. But for me, that was exactly the challenge that attracted me. It is easy to join a club when everything is perfect. The real test is joining when people doubt them and helping bring them back to where they belong.
I did not come to Barcelona for a holiday or to enjoy the weather. I came because I believed this club could rise again. When you wear this badge, you understand immediately how massive this club is. The pressure is huge, but so is the motivation.
Today, I am proud of that decision because I followed my heart and my football ambition. Barcelona is not just a club you play for โ itโs a responsibility. And from the first day, I wanted to help restore that winning mentality again.โ
After four years full of challenges and hard work, it's time to move on.
I leave with the feeling that the mission is complete. 4 seasons, 3 championships.
I will never forget the love I received from the fans from my very first days.
Catalonia is my place on earth.
Thank you to everyone I met along the way during these beautiful four years.
A special thank you to President Laporta for giving me the chance to live the most incredible chapter of my career.
Barรงa is back where it belongs.
Visca el Barรงa. Visca Catalunya ๐โค๏ธ

In 2023 we got a beautiful picture from the FIDE World Cup in Baku, Azerbaijan where Praggnanandhaa and Arjun Erigaisi were going on walks with each other. It was such a beautiful friendship that the two shared with each other off the board, that even during an intense Quarter Final against each other, they would walk on the Baku Boulevard together. This moment was wonderfully captured by Irene Sukandar.
Fast Forward to 2 years, both Pragg and Arjun have become two of the absolute best players in the world and are fighting for the top spot at the FIDE World Cup 2025. What do they do after winning their respective round 3 encounters? Of course, they go for a walk together! So many things in the world of chess have changed over the past couple of years, but the friendship of Arjun and Pragg has remained constant! Amruta Mokal captured this picture of Arjun and Pragg walking with each other in Goa!
Tether, Circle & Stripe launching layer-1s for payments is bearish for Ethereum L2 (inheriting security) and Solana (the decentralized Nasdaq) theses.
Security matters less than transparency, 24/7 settlement, and composability for RWAs.
