Julian Alvarez
- From my last update, every single point still remains true
- Arteta sees Julian as a major marquee transformational signing
- There are direct fresh contacts between the ownership at Arsenal and Atleti regarding a possible transfer. There is still a gap in the valuation of the Argentine. Story with @LucaBendoni
- Again, respect to every journalist and their work, but I remain adamant that the player is open to a move to North London IF his dream move to Barca fails
- Atleti remain adamant they will not sell to Barca but my understanding is Barca will engage in talks for one final attempt post World Cup.
- A deal remains difficult but it has not deterred Arsenal from trying to position themselves for an opportunity to sign a top tier forward should Atleti sanction a sale.
- Berta is currently in the capital of Madrid with his family. One source said he has also taken the opportunity to meet with Atleti officials directly but I am waiting on further confirmation on this.
Bruno G
- My understanding is club to club talks have NOT taken place except a phone call from Newcastle asking Arsenal about their stance, which didn’t clarify anything between the parties.
- Berta is still wanting Kia to handle all the negotiations until / if a fair valuation can be reached between BOTH parties.
- Newcastle are aiming to secure a fee within the £80-£85m range as a minimum
- Bruno is fully sold on the project and is awaiting his agents and Kia to handle the situation respectfully.
Rogers
- Currently I am not obliged to update on this current file, when I can I will be sure to explain things in detail.
- People at Arsenal maintain he is the top target for the winger / central attacker role
- For now, all I can say is Spurs showed some interest but as of today Morgan’s focus is Arsenal if a deal can be agreed
Others
- I saw reports about the UAE interest in Norgaard, my understanding is that the player wants to stay in London for at least another year if he is able to.
- I also asked contacts at Fenerebace about Jesus who say currently there is no major interest as of TODAY.
- People around the Tzolis deal on both sides expect it to progress soon.
🔴 Mykhailo Mudryk opens up on missing out on a move to Arsenal
🗣️ "I think every guy dreams about the Premier League. Arsenal is a very good team, a very good coach. I like the way they play. From my side I can't say no, but a transfer is not only my decision."
🗣️ Late night in Ukraine. My phone lights up. Another update. Another step closer to the club I'd spent months dreaming about. For a few seconds, everything else disappears. I can already picture myself walking out at the Emirates in red and white, linking up with Saka and Ødegaard, hearing the crowd roar. In my mind, the dream is already real.
Then football reminds you that dreams don't always follow the script.
🗣️ "Ultimately, it didn't work out and I was disappointed at the time. Now I'm at Chelsea. I've faced some tough challenges, but I'm working hard every day and focused on building my career and coming back stronger."
Let's ignore everything that's happened since January 2023. At the time, who did you want Arsenal to sign:⤵️
Mudryk or Trossard? #Transfertalks
We have reached an agreement with Beşiktaş for the permanent transfer of Leandro Trossard.
We will provide a further update once the transfer has been completed.
Guinea have written to CAF, saying they don't feel safe playing in South Africa in the AFCON Qualifier due to the anti-migrant protests.
They have called for the venue for their game against South Africa to be moved to a neutral ground.
"As we all know, the 2027 election is coming up next year, and we have three major candidates: President Tinubu, Peter Obi of the NDC, and Atiku Abubakar of the ADC. You will never see northern governors or ministers in Tinubu's cabinet attacking Atiku, but in the South East, you see former governors and others, especially Dave Umahi, always going after Peter Obi. He even calls himself the Lion of the South East—on what basis? Look at the coastal road he built; there is flooding everywhere in Lagos. If tomorrow former Vice President Yemi Osinbajo and Dave Umahi were on the ballot, Igbos would never vote for Umahi because they know him."
—Dr. Nnaemeka Onyeka critic!zes Dave Umahi.
Update:
Found the owner of the logistics/dispatch company, locked him up and just got my money paid back in full with extra for damages🙂↔️
Thank you @sepril23NG for helping track them down!!
Akachukwu by Nwaeze is one of the best highlife songs by a Gen Z artist. I’m a big fan of how Nwaeze is carrying the highlife tradition into a new generation.
Siba! Siba!
This has been circulating in expedition forums for weeks. No location. No names. No paper.
Someone with a camera walked up to an opening in the rock and started filming.
Look at what's inside. It's not a bear. Bears have fur, and this doesn't.
It's not a rock. Rocks don't have that shape.
Whatever it is, it fills the entire cavity. Nothing behind it. Nothing beside it. Just this.
The clip ends before anyone gets closer. Nobody does.
What do you think is inside that cave?
No fraud, drugs or sex scandal. Not a political jobber & not afraid to speak truth to power.
It’s not by speaking supri supri or preaching with a serious face, Odumeje is more of a ‘real pastor’ than many of your favorites.
