Having Nicolas Raskin available to face Jagiellonia Bialystok is "positive for Rangers", says former Ibrox goalkeeper Cammy Bell. Belgium midfielder Raskin, 25, could make his first Rangers appearance of the season in Poland in Thursday's Europa League third qualifying round first leg. "It's a player that's come off the back of playing a lot of minutes at the World Cup for a top side as well," Bell told the BBC's Scottish Football Podcast.

While the Portuguese superstar continues preparing for another season in Saudi Arabia, developments away from the pitch have placed his growing soccer business interests in the spotlight alongside Al-Ittihad's summer recruitment strategy. Cristiano Ronaldo has unexpectedly found himself connected to one of the biggest transfer stories involving one of Al-Nassr’s fiercest Saudi Pro League rivals. While the Portuguese superstar continues preparing for another season in Saudi Arabia, developments away from the pitch have placed his growing soccer business interests in the spotlight alongside Al-Ittihad’s summer recruitment strategy. The latest move has raised eyebrows across the league, especially as Al-Ittihad moved quickly to strengthen its squad while Al-Nassr is still waiting to complete its first major signing of the transfer window. Ronaldo’s investment outside Saudi Arabia has now played an indirect role in helping one of the club’s biggest domestic competitors. Al-Ittihad has officially completed the signing of Senegal midfielder Dion Lopy from Spanish club Almeria, making him the club’s first overseas arrival of the summer transfer window. According to reports from Al-Riyadiah and several other outlets, the 24-year-old signed a long-term contract after the Tigers agreed to pay approximately $15 million, with the transfer fee scheduled to be paid in installments. The deal also reportedly includes a 10% sell-on clause in favor of Almeria should Lopy be transferred again in the future. The Tigers’ midfield is under the Black Panther’s command 🇸🇳🐅 pic.twitter.com/wDtEPNLc6U— Al-Ittihad Club (@ittihad_en) August 5, 2026 The Saudi club confirmed the transfer through an announcement on its official social media channels, although it did not disclose the financial details. Ronaldo’s Almeria investment creates unexpected link The transfer carries an unusual twist because Almeria is partially owned by Cristiano Ronaldo. Earlier in 2026, Ronaldo acquired a 25% ownership stake in the Spanish club, expanding his soccer portfolio while continuing his playing career with Al-Nassr. That investment means one of Ronaldo’s clubs has now completed a profitable sale to Al-Ittihad, a direct Saudi Pro League rival that continues to challenge Al-Nassr for domestic honors. The timing has attracted attention because Al-Ittihad has already secured its first major foreign signing, while Al-Nassr has yet to bring in a new player during the current transfer window. Cristiano Ronaldo of team Al-Nassr FC competes for the ball with Ahmed Al-Julaydan of team Al-Ittihad FC The Senegal international joins Al-Ittihad following the departure of Brazilian midfielder Fabinho, whose contract expired at the end of last season. Lopy primarily operates as a defensive midfielder, although he is also capable of playing in a deeper central role. His versatility is expected to provide additional balance in midfield as the club prepares for the upcoming Saudi Pro League campaign. Since arriving at Almeria from Stade Reims in 2023, Lopy made 105 appearances, scoring four goals and contributing six assists across all competitions. Tansfer that benefits everyone The midfielder built a reputation in Spain through his physical presence, defensive awareness and ability to recover possession. During the 2025-26 campaign, he featured regularly in midfield while also contributing going forward with three goals and two assists in league competition. Statistical reports highlighted his impact in defensive situations, including strong numbers for tackles, interceptions, ball recoveries and aerial duels. His passing range also made him an attractive option for a possession-based side looking to strengthen its midfield.

Cammy Devlin is impressed with Nico Raskin's impact in training since his World Cup exploits and hopes they get the chance to team up in Rangers' midfield. Raskin, who has been linked with an Ibrox exit this summer, is back in the Rangers squad for Thursday's Europa League third-round qualifier first leg against Jagiellonia Bialystok after helping Belgium reach the World Cup quarter-finals.
Marcus Rashford is contracted to Manchester United until 2028. United's transfer activity has slowed since Belgium midfielder Youri Tielemans joined them for £35m on 14 July. While uncertainty over Rashford's future is not the entire reason for this, it is a basic truth that United's search for a left-sided attacking player, or another striker, will be affected if he stays at the club because he can play in both positions.
"I do see a world where Iliman Ndiaye is still an Everton player," says Toffees fan Ryan Rooney as Saudi Pro League side Al-Hilal continue to show interest in a big-money move for the right winger. The Senegal international joined Everton's training camp in Germany on Monday after returning from World Cup duty, with speculation around his club future continuing to swirl. "I was convinced he was gone," Rooney told BBC Radio Merseyside.
During his time at Chelsea, Nicolas Jackson earned an unwanted reputation as an unusually unreliable finisher. He missed a lot of clear chances. But does that mean other top clubs are making a mistake in turning to the Senegalese striker? Not necessarily.
With Milan crossing oceans to battle its eternal rival under the Australian sun, the glaring absence of their attacking superstar has ignited fierce speculation, completely dominating the narrative ahead of this unprecedented preseason war. A shadow has been cast over the historic first-ever Derby della Madonnina in the Southern Hemisphere, as American talisman Christian Pulisic is ruled out of the monumental clash against Inter. With Milan crossing oceans to battle its eternal rival under the Australian sun, the glaring absence of their attacking superstar has ignited fierce speculation, completely dominating the narrative ahead of this unprecedented preseason war. Milan and Inter will meet at Optus Stadium in Perth on Wednesday, August 5, 2026, as both clubs continue preparations for the new Serie A campaign. While the rivalry remains intense despite the friendly setting, the Rossoneri will enter the match without several important players, including Pulisic, as the club carefully manages its squad ahead of the new season. The match in Perth represents a historic moment because it will be the first time the Derby della Madonnina has been played in Australia. The two sides have previously taken their rivalry outside Italy, but this fixture marks the first meeting between the two clubs on Australian soil. Milan arrives at the match during a period of transition under new head coach Ruben Amorim. The club finished the 2025-26 Serie A season in fifth place with 70 points, missing out on Champions League qualification despite enjoying a 24-match unbeaten run during the campaign. However, Milan struggled during the final stages of the season, losing seven of its last 13 league matches and allowing fourth place to slip away. Christian Pulisic of AC Milan competes for the ball with Piotr Zielinski of FC Internazionale Inter, meanwhile, enters the derby in a stronger position after a successful campaign. The club won the Serie A title with 87 points and lifted the Coppa Italia, giving head coach Cristian Chivu a dream first full season in charge. The Nerazzurri also finished with the league’s best attack, scoring 89 goals, while conceding only 35 times. However, Christian Chivu will also be without several important players as the club manages its squad following the 2026 World Cup. The real reason Christian Pulisic is missing against Inter Pulisic is unavailable for Milan’s clash with Inter because he is recovering from an injury suffered during the United States’ 2026 World Cup campaign. The American winger did not travel with Milan’s squad for the Australian tour and instead remained at Milanello to continue his rehabilitation program. According to reports from The Athletic, Pulisic suffered the injury during the United States’ Round of 16 defeat against Belgium after attempting a shot and colliding with Belgian midfielder Youri Tielemans. Although he initially tried to continue, the pain eventually forced him to leave the match. Medical examinations later revealed that the 27-year-old star suffered a bone bruise and a microfracture around the tibia-fibula area of his right leg. Earlier reports from Italian media also described the issue as a microfracture to his right fibula. Christian Pulisic #10 of the United States reacts after challenged by Youri Tielemans #8 of Belgium Despite the injury sounding serious, the recovery timeline has provided some optimism. Medical staff believe the problem requires weeks rather than months of recovery, meaning Pulisic could potentially return early in the new Serie A season. When could Pulisic return to action? Milan has decided against rushing Pulisic back into action and has created a controlled rehabilitation plan for the winger. According to La Gazzetta dello Sport, the club’s priority is ensuring that the American fully recovers before increasing his workload. Pulisic returned to Milanello after receiving additional time away following the World Cup. He completed medical checks before sta
Inter Miami are reportedly looking to pair up Kevin De Bruyne with Lionel Messi, while some other MLS clubs are also monitoring the Belgian's potential signing. Lionel Messi received a massive boost during the 2026 summer transfer window when Brazilian powerhouse Casemiro signed on to anchor Inter Miami‘s midfield. Now, a marquee target has resurfaced, with reports indicating the South Florida franchise wants to pair Kevin De Bruyne alongside Messi despite growing competition across Major League Soccer. According to Spanish outlet Mundo Deportivo, De Bruyne could be granted an exit route from Napoli during the current transfer window. Following a Scudetto-winning campaign in his debut season, the 2025-26 stretch proved challenging for the Belgian playmaker, who missed significant time between late October and late February due to a leg flexor injury. A transfer during the current window represents Napoli’s cleanest path to securing a return on investment for De Bruyne, whose deal with the Italian side runs through June 2027. Under those terms, Mundo Deportivo reports that Inter Miami remains eager to pair the midfield maestro with Lionel Messi, Luis Suárez, and Rodrigo De Paul. Back in June 2025, both Inter Miami and expansion side San Diego FC submitted inquiries regarding a potential move to MLS, a destination that remains attractive to the player. While De Bruyne chose to remain in Europe at the time, the 35-year-old coming off his final World Cup run in 2026 is increasingly open to a North American transition. Kevin De Bruyne #7 of Belgium applauds fans after the elimination from the 2026 World Cup. Inter Miami faces domestic competition for De Bruyne Sharing the pitch with Messi has emerged as Inter Miami’s ultimate recruitment tool, appealing to former Barcelona teammates like Suarez, international colleagues like De Paul, and former rivals like Sergio Reguilón and Casemiro. However, with all Designated Player spots currently occupied and General Allocation Money (GAM) capped, rival clubs are positioning themselves to swoop in. Mundo Deportivo reports that the Chicago Fire and San Diego FC are actively monitoring De Bruyne’s availability. Chicago holds an open Designated Player slot following the departure of leading scorer Hugo Cuypers, while San Diego could open a slot through a potential departure of Hirving “Chucky” Lozano, giving both clubs a roster flexibility advantage over Miami. Inter Miami holds crucial regulatory edge Speculation surrounding De Bruyne intensified following reports from The Athletic that MLS owners are pushing for roster rule modifications, specifically moving toward a more flexible salary structure. While structural rule changes won’t offer immediate relief, the Herons still possess a major leverage point over their domestic rivals. Inter Miami currently controls De Bruyne’s MLS Discovery Rights, positioning the club to lead any negotiations should the Belgian decide to make the move stateside. Miami filed for those rights following his departure from Manchester City, meaning both Chicago and San Diego would have to trade for those rights with South Florida before making a formal contract offer to the player.
Manchester United defender Leny Yoro is aiming high. United improved dramatically under Michael Carrick over the second half of last season to seal a third-place finish and a return to the Champions League. While many fans are concerned about a relative lack of signings given only Chelsea midfielder Andrey Santos and Belgium World Cup star Youri Tielemans have arrived at the club so far, inside Old Trafford there is optimism about what lies ahead.
