1. FC NürnbergGianni Infantino's continuity as FIFA president is highly in doubt as UEFA executives are reportedly looking for his exit and establish a system of rotating presidents in FIFA. Gianni Infantino’s reign as FIFA president is facing serious threat following the fallout from a failed plan to sell World Cup rights to private equity, a move that triggered intense pushback. Now, UEFA executives are reportedly actively plotting his exit while floating a radical proposal to replace the office with a rotating presidency. As first reported by talkSPORT‘s Ben Jacobs, UEFA President Aleksander Ceferin and European Club Association Chairman (and Paris Saint-Germain President) Nasser Al Khelaifi held a high-stakes meeting in Salzburg, Austria, on the eve of the UEFA Super Cup to address the mounting crisis. With the event taking place in the city, Confederation of African Football (CAF) President Patrice Motsepe also joined the discussions. European leadership is intent on forcing Infantino to resign or withdraw his candidacy ahead of FIFA’s upcoming election in March following the controversy surrounding the FIFA Forward Enterprise initiative. If Infantino is ousted, the immediate focus will shift to who UEFA endorses as the next FIFA candidate. Potential frontrunners include CONCACAF President Victor Montagliani and Asian Football Confederation (AFC) President Sheikh Salman bin Ibrahim Al Khalifa. While Al Khelaifi’s name was also raised, he publicly stated after the match that he remains “very happy” in his current role at PSG.

(Alex Grimm/Getty Images) A UEFA boycott may no longer be necessary When Infantino initially unveiled the FIFA Forward Enterprise initiative, UEFA strongly opposed the measure, threatening a complete boycott of all upcoming FIFA tournaments. That stance was set to take effect as early as the FIFA U-20 Women’s World Cup in Poland (Sept. 5-27), but such drastic action may no longer be required to force Infantino out. According to talkSPORT, Ceferin is prepared to spearhead a vote of no confidence if Infantino refuses to go quietly. That motion could swiftly remove the sitting FIFA president, triggering an expedited electoral process. To introduce a vote of no confidence, 20% of FIFA’s member associations (43 votes) must officially request the motion, a threshold UEFA could easily trigger on its own with its 55 member nations. Once an Extraordinary Congress is convened, Article 30(9) dictates that any vote not explicitly defined in the statutes (which includes a no-confidence vote) requires a simple majority. With 211 total member associations, just 106 votes would formally remove Infantino from office. UEFA Floats a Rotating FIFA Presidency Beyond removing Infantino, European officials are advocating for a fundamental structural overhaul of FIFA’s executive office. As reported by Jacobs, the proposal favors a decentralized governance structure that replaces the traditional, single-leader presidency with a rotating office. The system could also feature a designated chairman alongside a committee of vice-chairs to provide stronger checks and balances, creating an administrative model similar to a modern civil service framework.
Hollywood duo Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney have reportedly led Wrexham to securing the club's record signing with Premier League goalkeeper Anthony Patterson. Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney have established promotion to the Premier League as the primary target for Wrexham‘s 2026-27 campaign, continuing to invest in roster upgrades. With that goal in mind, the Red Dragons have secured the signing of goalkeeper Anthony Patterson, who reportedly arrives as the most expensive transfer in the club’s history. On Tuesday, August 11, Wrexham announced the signing of Patterson, who penned a long-term contract running through June 2030. The English goalkeeper was an integral figure in Sunderland’s recent promotion to the Premier League, logging 169 career appearances for the club. After starting 45 matches across the EFL Championship and promotion playoffs to help Sunderland reach the top flight, Patterson served as the secondary option during the 2025-26 season behind Robin Roefs. Unable to secure regular playing time in the Premier League, he spent the second half of the campaign on a six-month loan with Millwall. A product of Sunderland’s youth academy, Patterson featured 169 times for the Black Cats, allowing 189 goals while recording 51 clean sheets. Carrying two career promotions on his resume, including one to the Premier League, he is expected to take over as the primary starter to guide Wrexham toward their first top-flight appearance. We are delighted to announce the signing of goalkeeper Anthony Patterson from Sunderland AFC for an undisclosed fee.🔴⚪️ #WxmAFC— Wrexham AFC (@Wrexham_AFC) August 11, 2026 Patterson becomes Wrexham’s record transfer acquisition Since Reynolds and McElhenney officially completed their takeover in February 2021, their objective has centered on building a sustainable business while elevating Wrexham back into the professional leagues. While maintaining fiscal discipline in transfer spending, the Red Dragons have gradually expanded their budget, particularly heading into their second consecutive season in the EFL Championship. In an official club statement, Wrexham announced Patterson’s arrival “for an undisclosed fee.” However, according to transfer reporter Ben Jacobs, the fee agreed upon with Sunderland is £8 million (around $10.4 million USD), setting a new franchise record for the Welsh club. The transfer surpasses the previous record established during the 2025-26 season with the acquisition of Nathan Broadhead, when Wrexham paid £7.5 million (around $9.75 million USD) to acquire him from Ipswich Town. Ben Sheaf sits third on the club’s all-time transfer list following his £6.4 million move from Coventry City.
