Ronaldinho arrived in Italy, where he'll sign a contract with Ravenna to come out of retirement and play professionally. Ronaldinho touched down in Italy on Thursday ahead of his official presentation as a new player for Ravenna, the Serie C club that shocked the football world by signing the Brazilian legend as part of an international expansion strategy. The 46-year-old arrived at Forlì Airport from Milan, greeting fans with his trademark “shaka” gesture, the same city where he spent two and a half seasons at AC Milan earlier in his career. According to beIN Sports, the move is primarily tied to commercial and brand-development goals for the club, which was acquired in 2024 by Italian businessman Ignazio Cipriani as part of a project that also includes partnerships with Nike and Black Duck. Still, Ravenna has confirmed that Ronaldinho is expected to play in at least one official match during the season, though no debut date has been set yet. The signing was first announced back in June with a presentation event in Miami, where Ronaldinho made his intentions clear: “Football has always been joy for me and I’m excited to bring that spirit to Ravenna. Let the magic begin!” Now, with his arrival in Italy, that long-anticipated return is finally taking shape. 🚨🚨| BREAKING: Ronaldinho has arrived in Italy to sign with Ravenna!He will be presented tonight as the club's new player.The Brazilian has set himself a precise goal — to score his last professional goal with Ravenna. 😮💨 pic.twitter.com/msikH5pH3E— CentreGoals. (@centregoals) August 20, 2026 Ronaldinho’s last professional match and career recap Ronaldinho’s last official appearance as a professional came in 2015 with Fluminense, the Brazilian club where he closed out his playing days after scoring his final professional goal against Gremio on August 23 of that year. Though he never officially played again, his retirement wasn’t formally confirmed until January 2018, when his agent announced it nearly three years later. Across his career, Ronaldinho built one of the most iconic résumés in the sport’s history, starting out at Gremio in his native Brazil (1998-2001) before moving to Europe with Paris Saint-Germain (2001-2003). His most successful spell came at FC Barcelona (2003-2008), where he reached the best form of his entire career, winning two LaLiga titles and the 2006 Champions League while collecting the Ballon d’Or in 2005. He then joined AC Milan (2008-2011), winning a Serie A title, before returning to Brazil for spells with Flamengo (2011-2012) and Atletico Mineiro (2012-2014), followed by a brief stint in Mexico with Queretaro (2014-2015) and finally Fluminense (2015), where his professional career came to a close.
Arsenal have made a pre-contract offer to sign Georgia Under-21 international Andria Bartishvili - who has been compared with compatriot and Paris St-Germain winger Khvicha Kvaratskhelia. The Gunners have accelerated their interest in the 17-year-old attacker with a view to him arriving in London towards the end of the year when his contract with parent club FC Kolkheti expires. According to sources close to the player, Bartishvili, who is currently on loan at Iberia 1999, is believed to have other options and is still to decide on his next move.
Lionel Messi could be sanctioned by MLS following an incident with Quinn Sullivan in Inter Miami's draw against the Philadelphia Union. Lionel Messi could be facing discipline from MLS after a late-game incident overshadowed Inter Miami’s 2-2 draw with the Philadelphia Union on Wednesday night. After leading 2-1, Neil Pierre equalized in the 58th minute, with tensions on the pitch already starting to rise. Right after the equalizer, Messi had an exchange with Quinn Sullivan in which he appeared to swing a slap that caught him on the neck. According to journalist José Armando of Deporte Total USA, the committee is expected to hand down a financial penalty, though league rules technically allow for a match suspension as well. Should Messi be suspended, he would miss Inter Miami’s next fixture against Toronto FC on Saturday, a game the Herons can ill afford to be without their captain for given their recent form. 🚨🚨| JUST IN: Lionel Messi tapped Quinn Sullivan on the back of the neck before confronting him head-on. This action will now be evaluated by the Disciplinary Committee.[@Jarm21] pic.twitter.com/nKRRYjif2b— CentreGoals. (@centregoals) August 20, 2026 A heated game finish Tensions on the pitch kept escalating until the final whistle. Deep into stoppage time, a scuffle broke out after Miami defender Ian Fray made contact with Philadelphia’s Quinn Sullivan, who shoved back in response. Quinn’s brother, Cavan Sullivan, stepped in to defend him, and as the confrontation escalated, Yannick Bright got involved to back up his teammates and ended up tangling with Cavan. Both Cavan Sullivan and Bright were sent off in the fracas, while Quinn Sullivan picked up a yellow card for his role in sparking it. With the Disciplinary Committee’s ruling still pending, all eyes now turn to whether Messi will be cleared in time to face Toronto, or whether the incident will cost Inter Miami their captain at a pivotal point in the MLS regular season. Inter Miami’s Supporters’ Shield hopes take a hit The draw also complicates Inter Miami’s pursuit of the Supporters’ Shield, awarded to the club with the best regular-season record. The Herons now trail Nashville SC, who lead the standings by five points, and the gap only grows more concerning after a stretch that’s produced three straight losses and now a draw. Miami’s schedule doesn’t get any easier from here, with Toronto FC up next on Saturday, followed by CF Montréal on August 29, Atlanta United on September 5, Chicago Fire on September 9, and a rematch with Nashville itself on September 12, a stretch that could either close the gap at the top or push the Shield further out of reach.
Hull City owner Acun Ilicali is preparing for the club's return to the Premier League, the latest milestone in a life that has taken him from bankruptcy and personal tragedy to television stardom. Dubbed Turkey's Simon Cowell, Ilicali has become one of the most recognisable figures in his home country, a rise that might once have seemed unlikely after he was declared bankrupt in his twenties. Now, as Hull prepare for their first season back in the top flight since he bought the club in 2022, he says he is approaching the challenge with the same determination that has defined much of his life.
