Celtic will have to deal with more mental pressure than LASK Linz in their quest for Champions League qualification, says the Austrian champions' head coach Dietmar Kuhbauer. The 55-year-old guided LASK to a league and cup double last season and his team have started this campaign with four straight wins.
Right-back worked with Matthias Jaissle at RB SalzburgGuglielmo Vicario completes loan move to JuventusThe chance to be reunited with Matthias Jaissle convinced Amar Dedic to swap Benfica for Newcastle in a £29.5m transfer. Dedic becomes Newcastle’s sixth signing of a turbulent summer on Tyneside and the 24-year-old Bosnia and Herzegovina international is likely to start at right‑back at home to Liverpool on Sunday.“Working with Matthias again was a big factor for me,” said Dedic, who played for Newcastle’s new manager at RB Salzburg. “We know each other well; he knows what I can bring to the pitch and I’m really happy to play for him again. It’s a special feeling and a real honour to join Newcastle.” Continue reading...
Atletico Madrid open their LaLiga season against Malaga, with Diego Simeone leaving Julian Alvarez out of the squad amid ongoing speculation over his future. Diego Simeone confirmed Julian Alvarez will not be part of Atletico Madrid’s squad for Wednesday’s LaLiga season opener against Malaga, citing the Argentine forward’s fitness as the reason for his absence. “From a sporting standpoint, we look after the person, the player — we hope he gets into the condition we need so he can keep protecting the name he’s built, the player he is, and everything he’s given us. So we understand that he’s not in condition to be part of this game,” Simeone said in his pre-match press conference, adding that he hopes Alvarez can improve his condition over the next four days. The decision comes amid swirling speculation over Alvarez’s future at the club, with reports linking the World Cup winner to a possible exit. Simeone addressed the situation directly, pointing to club ownership’s firm stance on the matter. “Miguel Angel Gil Marin is the owner of the club and categorically spoke in the manner he did and there is nothing more to discuss,” the Argentine coach said, reaffirming that Atletico Madrid consider Alvarez’s €500 million release clause the only way out. ¡Preparados para el estreno liguero! 💪🏼 pic.twitter.com/Ff7FnAJstx— Atlético de Madrid (@Atleti) August 18, 2026 Simeone’s comments leave the door open for Alvarez’s return in the coming days, but for now his immediate future — both on the pitch and at the club — remains a talking point heading into the new season. Simeone weighs in on Alvarez’s standing with supporters Alvarez’s situation has stirred debate among Atletico Madrid’s fan base after the forward publicly declared during the 2026 World Cup that he wanted to leave the club. Following Argentina’s 2-0 win over Austria in June, Alvarez told reporters, “I spoke with people at the club, with those I had to speak with and the best thing for everyone is a transfer and I want to fulfil my dream,” making clear his desire to move on despite the club’s resistance to selling him. That backdrop set up a pointed question for Simeone in Tuesday’s press conference: whether Alvarez owes the fans an apology over the transfer noise surrounding him. “People will think what they have to think. I’m very respectful of everyone’s opinion, whether it’s the case of Diego Costa, Griezmann, or now Julian. I’m very respectful of what everyone might think,” the coach said, drawing a parallel to past situations involving other Atletico players.
Amar Dedic has already experienced what it is like to play at St James' Park. The defender was part of the Benfica side thumped 3-0 by Newcastle in the Champions League last season, so he will be hoping for a much happier experience if he lines up against Liverpool on Sunday. Dedic is one of Newcastle's oldest signings this summer – which is saying something – and only the second over the age of 20, alongside goalkeeper Lukas Hornicek.
Newcastle United's latest summer signing Amar Dedic says it's a "special feeling and a really big honour" to sign for the club. Dedic has joined from Benfica in a deal worth about £30m and he has reunited with boss Matthias Jaissle, who he won the league title with at Red Bull Salzburg. "It's a special feeling and a really big honour for me to join Newcastle United," he said after the move was announced on Tuesday, his 24th birthday.
