Speculation has surrounded Wilson Isidor's future at Sunderland since last season. West Ham have shown interest in the forward, but BBC Radio Newcastle's Nick Barnes believes the prospect of playing in the Championship is not a move Isidor would consider. During Sunderland's pre-season tour of the United States, the 25-year-old said he is aiming to improve his tally of six goals scored last campaign.
Conor Gallagher says it is "a lot more enjoyable" and a "fresh" feeling being a Tottenham player during pre-season. The 26-year-old midfielder previously spoke about being played out of position, not being liked by former head coach Igor Tudor and losing confidence as Spurs narrowly avoided relegation to the Championship on the final day of the 2025-26 campaign.
During his presentation, new Inter Miami star Casemiro filled Lionel Messi with praise: "Messi is one of the gods, if not the god of football." Casemiro has emerged as Inter Miami’s marquee addition of the 2026 summer transfer window, instantly filling the high-profile defensive midfield void the club struggled to replace. Set to share the pitch with Lionel Messi, the Brazilian superstar offered glowing praise during his official introduction: “Messi is one of the gods, if not the god of football.“ Following his starting run with Brazil at the 2026 World Cup, Casemiro opted to join Inter Miami in free agency, providing the Herons with a proven defensive anchor in the wake of Sergio Busquets’ retirement. Although the 34-year-old made his club debut last Saturday, logging a full 90 minutes in a 1-0 road victory over CF Montreal, his formal unveiling took place Thursday at Nu Stadium. During Thursday’s press conference, as reported by journalist José Armando, Casemiro spoke passionately about teaming up with Messi: “I am living a dream to play with one of the greatest of all time. I want to enjoy it, I want to help him continue winning because he is a winner. He teams up with another player who wants to win, who wants to compete. In the end, the margin between winning and losing is always very close, we know that, but we want to compete, and we want to compete.“ Casemiro expressed gratitude to managing owner Jorge Mas and co-owner David Beckham, noting that despite lucrative interest from European suitors, South Florida was his top priority. “I had many options—I had offers in Italy, I had many teams reaching out—but I am exactly where I want to be,” he stated. Casemiro sobre la oportunidad de jugar con Messi: "Quiero ayudarle a seguir ganando; es el Dios del fútbol"#InterMiamiCF #Messi pic.twitter.com/9Lxx6yGgPI— José Armando (@Jarm21) July 30, 2026 He concluded by placing Messi among the most influential figures in sports history: “I want to enjoy that, being with him, making him win, making him greater; he is one of the gods, if not the god of football. So I want to enjoy it with him and keep winning with him.“ Since Busquets hung up his boots, Inter Miami struggled to replicate the midfield balance that drove their previous championship runs, a vulnerability Casemiro’s presence is expected to resolve. The five-time Champions League winner inked a deal through June 2027 that includes a club option through 2029. Casemiro joins exclusive club to play alongside Messi and Ronaldo During their prime years in Europe, Messi and Casemiro shared an intense rivalry on opposite sides of El Clasico, featuring in epic Barcelona–Real Madrid clashes alongside Cristiano Ronaldo, as well as heated international battles between Argentina and Brazil. Now in the twilight of his career, the decorated midfielder finds himself partnering with the player he once spent years trying to suppress. With the move, Casemiro becomes just the 28th player in soccer history to play alongside both Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo. He is also the eighth former Real Madrid player to subsequently share a locker room with Messi, joining Angel Di Maria, Sergio Ramos, Gonzalo Higuain, Achraf Hakimi, Keylor Navas, Pablo Sarabia, Fernando Gago, and Ezequiel Garay.

Mancini replaces Gattuso for second spell in chargeRanieri takes over from Paolo Maldini in overseeing roleRoberto Mancini has agreed to be Italy head coach for a second time, the president of the Italian Football Federation (FIGC), Giovanni Malagò, said on Tuesday, also confirming Claudio Ranieri would take over as technical director.Mancini replaces Gennaro Gattuso, who left the post in April after Italy failed to qualify for a third World Cup in succession, and returns to a job he held between 2018 and 2023. He led the national team to European Championship glory in 2021 with a penalty shootout victory over England at Wembley but then failed to reach the 2022 World Cup and a slow start to Euro 2024 qualifying. In total, Mancini managed Italy for 58 matches during his first spell and at club level has managed Inter, Fiorentina and Manchester City, where he spent three years and guided them to their first Premier League title in 2011-12.

Brentford striker Callum Wilson says the club's pre-season training camp in Portugal has allowed him to get to know his new team-mates "on a more personal level", as head coach Keith Andrews steps up his preparations for the new campaign. Wilson signed a 12-month contract to join the Bees in July, after leaving West Ham United as a free agent following the club's relegation to the Championship. The forward will provide competition for Brazil international Igor Thiago, who scored 25 goals across 40 appearances in all competitions last season.
Portugal teammate Samu Costa is reportedly set to join Cristiano Ronaldo at Al Nassr. Cristiano Ronaldo is preparing to return to Al Nassr following his 2026 World Cup run, aiming to defend their Saudi Pro League title after a championship-winning 2025-26 campaign. To keep the momentum going, the Saudi powerhouse is bolstering its midfield by reportedly securing Portugal teammate Samu Costa. According to Saudi news outlet Arriyadiyah, RCD Mallorca has confirmed the completion of Costa’s transfer to Al Nassr. While the official transfer fee remains undisclosed, the Portuguese midfielder will join Ronaldo in Riyadh for the 2026-27 season, becoming the latest countryman to link up with the legendary forward in the Gulf. Mallorca media officer Hector Martin confirmed the agreement in an official statement to the Saudi press: “The deal between Mallorca and Al Nassr has been finalized, and a definitive agreement has been reached regarding Samu Costa’s transfer, after the Saudi club’s offer surpassed that of Germany’s RB Leipzig as well as other European offers.“ A product of the SC Braga academy, Costa spent time with UD Almeria before moving to Mallorca, establishing himself as a reliable presence in La Liga. Despite Mallorca suffering a painful relegation at the end of the 2025–26 campaign, the 25-year-old midfielder was a lone bright spot, featuring in 36 matches while contributing seven goals and two assists. Cristiano Ronaldo #7 and Samu Costa #24 during Portugal’s training session. His strong domestic form earned him a call-up to Roberto Martinez’s Portugal squad for the 2026 World Cup, where he logged 20 minutes off the bench in a -0 group-stage draw against Colombia. Replacing PSG star Vitinha in the 70th minute, Costa provided physical balance in a double pivot, a box-to-box role he is now expected to replicate in Saudi Arabia. Alongside Bundesliga interest from RB Leipzig, fellow Saudi outfit Al Diriyah also made a strong push for his signature. However, Ronaldo’s presence in Riyadh, which previously helped lure Joao Felix, proved decisive once again as Al Nassr expands its Portuguese contingent ahead of the new season. Where does Samu Costa fit into Al Nassr’s lineup? With Ange Postecoglou stepping in as head coach following Jorge Jesus’ departure, Al Nassr’s tactical setup for the 2026-27 season remains a work in progress. The Australian manager famously favors an aggressive 4-3-3 formation, a staple during his tenures at Celtic, Tottenham Hotspur, and Nottingham Forest, moving away from the 4-2-3-1 and 4-4-2 systems employed by Jesus. While Ronaldo’s influence undoubtedly helped grease the wheels for the move, Costa’s arrival addresses an urgent tactical void left by Marcelo Brozovic, who departed the club following the expiration of his contract in June. Regardless of whether Postecoglou deploys two or three central midfielders, Costa is expected to slide directly into the starting XI alongside Brazilian midfielder Angelo to anchor Al Nassr’s engine room.
resh reports have sparked excitement over the Finalissima, and supporters are now eagerly waiting to discover when the intercontinental showdown could finally take place after months of uncertainty. World Cup winner Spain and runner-up Argentina may have settled soccer’s biggest prize on the grandest stage, but another blockbuster meeting could already be on the horizon. Fresh reports have sparked excitement over the Finalissima, and supporters are now eagerly waiting to discover when the intercontinental showdown could finally take place after months of uncertainty. The Finalissima had originally been expected to bring together the champions of Europe and South America before the World Cup, but circumstances prevented the match from happening. Now, following Spain’s triumph over Argentina in the 2026 FIFA World Cup final, a new report suggests the fixture may finally be back on the calendar. The Finalissima is a match contested between the reigning UEFA European champion and the CONMEBOL Copa America champion. Although it has existed in different forms throughout soccer history, the competition returned under its current name in 2022, when Argentina defeated Italy 3-0 at Wembley Stadium. The second edition was originally scheduled to feature Spain and Argentina, but it never took place. Instead, soccer fans watched those same two national teams meet in the World Cup final, where Ferran Torres scored the extra-time winner to secure La Roja’s second World Cup title. Why the original match never happened Before the World Cup, the Finalissima had been scheduled for March 2026 at Lusail Stadium, the venue that famously hosted the 2022 World Cup final. However, the fixture was ultimately cancelled after growing security concerns in the Middle East complicated travel and event planning. Reports indicated that ongoing regional political tensions made hosting the match increasingly difficult, forcing organizers to reconsider their plans. Several alternative venues were reportedly explored, including the Santiago Bernabeu Stadium in Madrid, while another proposal suggested playing home-and-away matches in Spain and Argentina. Those options never received unanimous approval, and the match was eventually abandoned. Report reveals new possible date According to ESPN Argentina journalist Martin Arevalo, the long-awaited Finalissima may now be staged later this year. The report claims the Finalissima could be played in November 2026 at Lusail Stadium in Qatar, with the Qatari government reportedly having already acquired the rights to host the match. Lamine Yamal #19 of Spain is congratulated by Lionel Messi #10 of Argentina If confirmed, it would finally deliver the clash that supporters have anticipated since both national teams captured their respective continental championships. While UEFA and CONMEBOL have yet to officially confirm the fixture, the report has already generated enormous interest. What’s more, Lusail Stadium would once again become the stage for another major international final. The venue has already established itself as one of world soccer’s most iconic stadiums after hosting the dramatic 2022 World Cup final. Qatar has continued investing heavily in international sporting events, and staging the Finalissima would further strengthen its reputation as a global soccer destination. The World Cup final added even more intrigue Fate ultimately produced an even bigger occasion, with Spain and Argentina facing one another in the 2026 FIFA World Cup final instead of the Finalissima. Mientras Scaloni intentaba poner paz al término del encuentro, Roberto Ayala, a sus 53 años, no tuvo otra cosa que hacer que tirarle un puñetazo a Dani Olmo. Otro comportamiento lamentable junto al de Paredes: pic.twitter.com/GReqOKICa6— BeSoccer (@besoccer_ES) July 20, 2026 Spain deserved its victory after controlling much of the contest and limiting Argentina to very few attacking opportunities.
