كشفت تقارير صحفية إسبانية تطورات جديدة بشأن خطة برشلونة للتعاقد مع هاري كين ليكون بديلاً للمهاجم البولندي المخضرم روبرت ليفاندوفسكي.

وبحسب صحيفة “سبورت” الإسبانية فإن هاري كين أبلغ بايرن ميونخ أنه لن يقوم بتفعيل بند فسخ عقده في صيف 2026.

وكان هذا البند الذي تبلغ قيمته 65 مليون يورو سيسمح لهاري كين بالرحيل قبل الموعد المحدد، لكن قائد المنتخب الإنجليزي أكد رغبته بالبقاء في ألمانيا لموسم آخر على الأقل.

وكان برشلونة يراقب موقف هاري كين في الأشهر الأخيرة، حيث أن رحيل روبرت ليفاندوفسكي يفتح الباب أمام التعاقد مع مهاجم جديد في نهاية الموسم.

وتلاشت فرصة إتمام صفقة انتقال هاري كين إلى برشلونة حيث اختار المهاجم الإنجليزي المخضرم ألا يضغط من أجل الرحيل عن بايرن ميونخ.

ولم يتخذ برشلونة أي خطوات رسمية ويعود ذلك بعض الشيء إلى أن هاري كين كان ملزماً بإبلاغ بايرن ميونخ بقراره في شهر يناير، ويحافظ المقربون منه على البافاري كأولوية بجانب أن المقربون منه قاموا بتقييم الوجهات المحتملة.

أما عن روبرت ليفاندوفسكي فإنه ينتهي عقده في عام 2026 وليس هناك تقدم ملموس في مفاوضات تجديده، ويعتمد القرار النهائي على أداء البولندي طوال الموسم حيث أصبح مستقبله غير مضمون.

وقد بدأ ليفاندوفسكي وممثليه التواصل مع أندية أخرى في حال قرر برشلونة عدم الاحتفاظ بخدماته، ويتلقى اهتماماً من عدة أندية في السعودية والدوري الأمريكي وميلان الذين شرحوا خطتهم للمهاجم البولندي وكيفية اندماجه في خطتهم طويلة المدى، ويقدر البارسا رغبة ليفاندوفسكي في الاستمرار وأنه مستعد لقبول دور أقل وتخفيض كبير في راتبه لكن الجهاز الفني يريد تقييم ثبات مستواه ولياقته البدنية ويعلق جميع المفاوضات بشأنه.

كشفت تقارير صحفية أن مصطفى شوبير حارس الأهلي أصبح محل اهتمام أحد الأندية المرموقة في أوروبا تمهيداً للحصول على خدماته.

ونقلاً عن صحيفة “الماركا” فقد أشار الصحفي “ماتيو موريتو” إلى أن حارس مرمى جيرونا، ليفاكوفيتش قد يرحل عن صفوف الفريق خلال سوق الانتقالات الشتوية القادمة.

لذلك أصبح جيرونا مهتمًا بالتعاقد مع أحد الحارسين، مصطفى شوبير من الأهلي أو حارس مرمى فياريال دييجو كوندي.

ويعد الحارس المصري صاحب الـ25 عاماً ودييجو كوندي حارس مرمى فياريال هما الخياران اللذين يدرسهما جيرونا حالياً لتعزيز مركز حراسة المرمى في يناير.

وسيخلق رحيل ليفاكوفيتش عن جيرونا مكاناً شاغراً لذلك يبحث النادي عن تدعيم صفوفه في مركز حراسة المرمى، وقد تكون فرصة رائعة للحارس المصري مصطفى شوبير للانتقال إلى ملاعب الليجا الاسبانية.

ويمتد عقد مصطفى شوبير مع الأهلي حتى 30 يونيو 2026، وقد ترددت تكهنات خلال الفترة الماضية أن الأهلي يعمل على تجديده للحفاظ عليه خلال السنوات القادمة.

ويحتل جيرونا المركز الـ18 في جدول ترتيب الدوري الاسباني برصيد 12 نقطة من انتصارين و6 تعادلات و7 هزائم.

Pakistan lost their last five wickets for just 17 runs during a dramatic collapse

Danyal Rasool21-Oct-2025

Sometimes, when Test cricket is played well, it can be slightly dull and the pair of Tony de Zorzi and Tristan Stubbs made no apologies for prioritising good cricket over entertaining cricket for the second half of the day. South Africa were much better placed going into the third day than they have been at any time this series, 148 runs short of Pakistan’s first innings 333 with six wickets still in hand. That they were not further adrift came thanks to a heroic shift early in the morning from Keshav Maharaj, who took all five Pakistani wickets to top up his two overnight, inducing a 17-run collapse for Pakistan’s bottom half.It might have been all so different if Pakistan – usually so trigger-happy when bringing the third umpire into the game – had done so in the 26th over. Asif Afridi had pushed de Zorzi, batting on 5, onto the back foot as the ball flicked him just above the knee roll. Short leg held onto it and Pakistan, distracted by an appeal for the catch, failed to consider lbw might be a more plausible shout. Down to just one review, they passed it up only for HawkEye to show three reds.It was a rare chance either de Zorzi or Stubbs offered as they settled into the tedium of steady accumulation, aware that one wicket could bring a surge from Pakistan that might wash away their challenge entirely. The first eight overs post-tea brought just 17 runs, but time wasn’t a factor in the game at the moment. The pair waited patiently to earn their right to score runs, and had the humility to opt for survival when good deliveries shut down scoring options, eventually adding 113 runs for the third wicket.Related

First day in Pindi = first day in Lahore

From time to time, Pakistan offered the odd poor delivery, gifts both accepted with alacrity. A waist-high full toss from Sajid was dispatched away for four, while Noman darted one in that de Zorzi slapped over long-on after dancing down the track. Both used their feet superbly to neutralise and unsettle the spinners, and it was a ploy that, for the most part, Pakistan appeared to lack clear responses to. When Stubbs misjudged and came down too far on a rare occasion, he smacked the ball straight back at Sajid, who was defeated by the pace of the ball. Soon after, de Zorzi made amends, skipping out of his crease to Sajid. He lifted the ball over his head for a six that took him to fifty. The milestones were being ticked off now. Two balls earlier, Stubbs had got there, and in the following over, the 100-run partnership – South Africa’s first this series – was brought up.It was in the final half hour that Pakistan dragged it back far enough to prevent South Africa unequivocally laying claim to the day. The 38-year-old debutant Asif Afridi didn’t exactly look Pakistan’s most threatening bowler for the most part, but hit a spot that caused the ball to dive, trapping de Zorzi halfway up the shin. This time, Pakistan made sure to review. South Africa required a vulnerable Dewald Brevis to stick it out until the end, but Asif broke through once more. This time, it was a lovely conventional orthodox left-armer’s delivery which got him the wicket. Salman Agha at first slip made no mistake pouncing on the edge.Pakistan’s penchant for collapses had continued at breakneck speed in the morning, with South Africa removing Pakistan’s last five for 17 runs to dismiss them for 333. Maharaj, who had earlier called the first session in this series the “moving session”, did most of the moving himself, taking all five of the morning’s wickets for a seven-wicket haul.Pakistan will content themselves with the fact that Agha and Saud Shakeel put on 57 brisk runs in the morning to continue their sixth-wicket stand. They were in complete control during the first hour, milking the spinners while picking up the occasional boundary. Kagiso Rabada’s opening spell was seen off without damage. Until Maharaj began his rampage, there were no visible signs of discomfort against him either. In the over before the first wicket fell, Shakeel had scored eight runs off him as Pakistan moved their score past 300.Tristan Stubbs and Tony de Zorzi added 113 runs for the third wicket•Associated Press

But things unravelled quickly – within 18 Maharaj deliveries, to be precise. An arm-ball slid onto Agha, who played for the turn and found himself trapped in front. The following Maharaj over, Shakeel softly guided one into the palms of first slip, with South Africa making no mistakes in the field. Shaheen Shah Afridi’s attempted wafts over midwicket were meat and drink for the spinner, who guided one through the gate to rattle his stumps. Maharaj would need just four more balls to dispense with Sajid and Asif.Pakistan’s early threat with the ball came all down to Shaheen. In the first Test, he found ways to be effective with the old reversing ball, but in the first half hour here, it was the new ball in his hand that proved to be a menace. Aiden Markram was worked over in his second over after lunch, surviving an lbw review and nearly nicking off. But Shaheen’s reward came against Ryan Rickelton in the over that followed, finding seam movement to kiss the outside edge and Mohammad Rizwan to take a straightforward catch.After that six-over burst, Pakistan turned to spin, and both sides settled into a steady grind. There were streaks of dot deliveries, the monotony broken occasionally by a dance down the ground to loft spin over the top. It proved a largely successful plan on a pitch that hasn’t yet opened up to spinners, but as lunch neared and Pakistan turned to Sajid, Markram tried his luck once too often.Sajid delivered the wicket ball with a bit of flight outside off, and Markram’s drag over long-on didn’t have the power he was targeting. Shan Masood had stationed Shakeel about eight yards on from the boundary, who barely had to move to gratefully pouch it.It was a rare shot of irresponsibility from a South African side that has struck an excellent balance between run-scoring and survival. In the end, thanks to Stubbs and de Zorzi, they found a way to do both today.

Heading into the eighth inning of Sunday’s game between the New York Yankees and Tampa Bay Rays, it looked as though New York ace Max Fried had a no-hitter bid alive with six outs left.

Unfortunately for him, it turns out the Rays were able to record a hit before he even reached the mound for the eighth.

As the broadcast returned to cover the final two innings of action, announcer Michael Kay informed the viewing public that Fried’s bid for a no-hitter had been called off after the game’s official scorer changed a decision made earlier in the day.

“You see the line, and no you didn’t miss a batter. I am absolutely flabbergasted ladies and gentlemen,” Kay said. “The official scorer here at Steinbrenner Field, a man by the name of Bill Matthews has changed the Simpson E-3 into a hit while the Yankees were in the dugout. Just, unfathomable. You call it when it happens. You don’t wait three innings for it to go by, it’s just unbelievable.”

The broadcast then showed Matthews, with Kay saying, “He’s going to have a lot of questions thrown at him, and he’s going to have to give some pretty good answers. I can’t believe that this has happened.”

The play in question came in the sixth inning when Rays centerfielder Chandler Simpson reached first base after grounding a ball hard into the infield. Yankees first baseman Paul Goldschmidt couldn’t field the ball, and the resulting play was initially ruled an error before the official change.

In real-time, it’s a call that could’ve gone either way, but probably leans hit. That said, once it’s been ruled an error for two innings, it feels tough to go back and say “actually, nevermind,” and that’s before you take into account that there was a no-hitter on the line.

Fans following the action online let their outrage be heard.

Fried’s sudden lack of a no-hitter was not the only strange call of the day, as umpires also ruled what looked like a clear home run from Aaron Judge to be a foul ball.

Despite the calls going against them, the Yankees secured a 4–0 win over the Rays to move to 14–8 on the season.

This was the 12th instance of a batter retiring out in a men’s T20I, and the first in a match featuring two Full Member teams

ESPNcricinfo staff04-Aug-2025Roston Chase became the first batter to retire out during a men’s T20I featuring two Full Member teams when he went off during West Indies’ chase of 190 in the deciding game against Pakistan in Lauderhill on Sunday.West Indies had gotten off to a good start, with Alick Athanaze scoring a 40-ball 60 opening the innings, but they slowed down once he was dismissed to leave the scoreboard reading 110 for 3 at the end of the 13th over. The requirement then was 80 runs from 42 balls.While Sherfane Rutherford, the No. 4, got going immediately, Chase struggled to go big, hitting just two fours in a 12-ball 15 before he was called back to the dugout – 41 runs were needed off 18 balls after that, and West Indies only managed 27 to concede the series 2-1.There has been only one previous instance of a batter retiring out in a men’s T20I featuring a Full Member team: in the 2024 T20 World Cup, Namibia’s opening batter Nikolaas Davin retired out after scoring 18 from 16 balls in a chase of 126 in ten overs against England in North Sound. The other ten such dismissals have all been recorded in matches involving two Associate teams.Chase, incidentally, had been retired out once before in a T20, at the ILT20 earlier this year. His team Abu Dhabi Knight Riders batted first in that game against MI Emirates, and Chase, batting at No. 6, had failed to get a move on after walking out in the 12th over, scoring 20 from 13 at the end of the 18th over, when he was retired out.

A complete mismatch of a Test in Bulawayo ended within two sessions on the third day, as Wiaan Mulder alone scored only 23 runs lesser than what Zimbabwe’s entire line-up managed across two innings. But even that happened when, at nine wickets down after being asked to follow-on, an outside edge off Wellington Masakadza dribbled away for four wide of the slips.The tenth-wicket stand between Masakadza and Tanaka Chivanga frustrated South Africa for nearly nine overs, but couldn’t prevent an innings defeat. South Africa comprehensively won by an innings and 236 runs to wrap the series 2-0 after confining Zimbabwe to their heaviest defeat by runs in the first Test of the series. It was South Africa’s tenth Test win on the trot, including their victory over Australia in the WTC 2025 final last month.Related

• Mulder: 'Lara keeping that record is exactly the way it should be'

• Mulder makes 367*, the fifth-highest individual Test score of all time

Zimbabwe started day three of the Bulawayo Test trailing by a massive 405 runs, with nine wickets in hand. While an innings defeat was inevitable given the deficit and the time remaining in the Test, a middle- and lower-order collapse of 6 for 31 after lunch hastened the eventual result.But before that, overnight batters Takudzwanashe Kaitano and Nick Welch negotiated the seven overs from Codi Yusuf and Corbin Bosch to start play by mostly blocking and leaving the deliveries. The first over of spin, though, got South Africa the breakthrough. Off his second ball, Senuran Muthusamy had Kaitano chipping to cover for 40 in the 24th over.Welch, at the other end, struggled to tick along. His first 45 balls fetched him only 14 runs, and one of his two boundaries came earlier in the day when he outside-edged Yusuf between third slip and gully. In the 26th over, however, Welch swung Muthusamy for a huge six down the ground. Next ball, he went for a hoick across the line, and the ball missed both the bat and the leg stump.But that didn’t prevent Welch from keeping his counterattack going. He punched Mulder wide of gully for four, had a difficult chance dropped by David Bedingham at backward point off Muthusamy, was beaten and nearly stumped next ball, and repeated his massive hit for six off Muthusamy – all these in the space of facing nine balls.It was Mulder’s Test, though, and come the 29th over, his heel was just within permissible limits as he cleaned Sean Williams up for 11. Welch slowed down after that wicket, looking content to push for singles and bat time. He raised his fifty just before lunch when he flicked Prenelan Subrayen for two to fine leg , before both Welch and Craig Ervine went unbeaten at the interval. At the time, Zimbabwe were still another 313 runs behind South Africa.However, Welch and Ervine didn’t last long enough. Muthusamy got a leading edge from Welch, who was caught by Mulder at slip for 55 in the third over after lunch. That began the slide, as 153 for 3 soon turned out to be 184 for 9. Yusuf got among the wickets when he trapped Wessly Madhevere in front for 5 in the 53rd over. Ervine and Tafadzwa Tsiga strung together plenty of dots as the scoring stalled, before Yusuf had Tsiga chipping to short midwicket to end his stay on 1 off 20 balls.At six down, Masakadza joined Ervine, and kept South Africa waiting for more. Masakadza edged one just short of second slip off his first ball, and had a tight stumping decision go his way. It was Bosch who ended the five-run union in almost six overs when he had Ervine edging behind for 49 to start the 65th over. Three balls later, Bosch bowled Kundai Matigimu for a duck to bag his third wicket. In the 69th, Bosch had Blessing Muzarabani edging to third slip without scoring, with Zimbabwe trailing by 272 runs.It was a matter of time before South Africa wrapped up victory, but while last man Tanaka Chivanga had some fun, Masakadza too hung around to annoy South Africa. Chivanga scored 22 off 26 balls, with three boundaries and a six, but was the last man to fall when Muthusamy had him top-edging to slip. Fittingly, it was Mulder who took the winning catch, having stood in as captain for this Test, and being named Player of the Match for his marathon 367* and Player of the Series for scoring 531 runs overall and bagging seven wickets.

Regis Le Bris will be well aware that he will need to utilise his full Sunderland squad this season as the long 38-game marathon that is the Premier League campaign becomes more and more gruelling.

Thankfully, it’s clear looking at the Frenchman’s options that he has significant depth, with new signing Brian Brobbey waiting in the wings, ready to leave a lasting impression, having found his first-team minutes to be reduced so far as Wilson Isidor regularly leads the line instead.

Moreover, with Habib Diarra already out with a serious knock, and now Noah Sadiki looking to be sidelined in the middle of the park, Le Bris will have to use his full squad to patch up these unfortunate injury issues.

Even without a pile of injury concerns to contend with, the ex-Lorient manager will also be prepared to chop and change his starting XIs for freshness reasons, with Luke O’Nien no doubt keen to be in his boss’s first-team plans again, after sadly sliding down the pecking order this summer.

Why O'Nien's minutes have dried up at Sunderland

When heading up to the Premier League, you would be hard-pressed to find someone who was beloved as the 30-year-old warrior.

O’Nien has been on quite the journey with the Black Cats, with a staggering 314 appearances and counting for the Wearside outfit, lifting him from the doldrums of League One to the promised land of English football.

49 of those appearances came just last season as Le Bris and Co dramatically returned to the top-flight via the tricky playoff route, with O’Nien routinely putting his body on the line to ensure more and more second-tier victories were collected, as seen in him winning 3.9 duels per game in the Championship.

Yet, as he alluded to in the clip above, Sunderland have strengthened all across the pitch this summer to try and ensure they were ready for the intense heat of the top division, with the full-blooded number 13 regrettably seeing his first-team minutes completely dry up as a result.

Both Nordi Mukiele and Omar Alderete have ended up walking into Le Bris’ side to form a solid, top-flight-ready, defensive unit, leading to only six goals being surrendered in league action so far.

O’Nien has simply become a bench option; consequently, with the 30-year-old now potentially on borrowed time as a regular at Sunderland, considering his contract is set to expire in 2027.

He isn’t the only member of Le Bris’ camp fearful for their short-term future, however.

Sunderland "leader" is now on borrowed time under Le Bris

Sadiki sustaining an ankle injury on international duty with DR Congo will be unwelcome news for Le Bris to wrestle with, considering the 20-year-old has been one of the Premier League newcomers’ star performers in the infancy of this new season, away from the likes of Granit Xhaka, Mukiele and Alderete.

That could well be a lifeline for Dan Neil’s waning Stadium of Light career, though, with the no-nonsense 23-year-old another victim – like O’Nien – of wholesale changes on the pitch this summer.

Neil was once seen in the same breath as the likes of Chris Rigg and Jobe Bellingham on Wearside, with the homegrown product going on to become a certain starter after rising up the academy ranks.

He would even go on to be named as Sunderland’s captain in 2024, with Sunderland U21s star Harrison Jones also hailing him as a “proper leader” for helping him to remain calm on a rare outing in the senior side.

Yet, despite playing 48 games last season for Le Bris’ eventual promotion winners and being so highly regarded by his peers, he has just a paltry minute of Premier League action next to his name this campaign.

Neil might well be eyeing up the exit door; therefore, with Sunderland left even more up in the air as to what to do with their South Shields-born battler, considering his current contract runs out next June.

With a fierce effort up his sleeve like that strike against Middlesbrough last season, Neil might well come in shortly and show Le Bris what he’s been missing out on if he’s seen as a like-for-like stand-in for the tenacious Sadiki.

But, if he fails to pick up the pieces, it does feel as if his Black Cats playing days could have run their natural course, with Sunderland then either looking to cash in on January, or just having to accept their role as disappointed witnesses to him walking away this summer for nothing.

Sunderland's most expensive sales of all time

The Black Cats have sold some young players for big money.

ByCharlie Smith Oct 10, 2025

Wolves manager Vitor Pereira explained why he clashed with the home fans at Molineux after his side went down 3-2 against Burnley on Sunday. This was Wolves' seventh defeat in their last nine Premier League matches as they continue to struggle at the bottom of the league table with just two points. Wolves are also the only club in all of England's top four divisions yet to win a game this season.

• Wolves still searching for first win

  Burnley took a two-goal lead within the first 30 minutes of the match as Zian Flemming scored a spectacular brace. The home team, however, bounced back before the halftime whistle with a couple of goals from Jorgen Strand Larsen and Marshall Munetsi. They fought hard in the second half and at one point, it seemed that they would walk away with at least a point, but Lyle Foster's 95th-minute strike broke Wolves' hearts as the Clarets claimed all three points from the away fixture. 

  With seven losses and two draws in their first nine Premier League games, Pereira's side are still rooted to the bottom of the table, six points behind 17th-placed Fulham.

  Pereira explains clash with home fans

  Following Foster's last-gasp winner, the crowd at Molineux started to boo the team. Pereira was also greeted by 'sacked in the morning chants', which prompted the Portuguese coach to angrily confront the home supporters, with staff members stepping in to hold him back.

  At his post-match press conference, Pereira addressed the incident as he said: "We understand the frustration of the people and supporters but what I must say, if we fight united with them, we can win games and compete and achieve our targets – without them, it is impossible. If we win two or three games in a row, things will change. Two months ago they sang my name, because together with the work we did last season, we are competing in the Premier League and not Championship. Now they sing my name to sack me. If I was a supporter, I would feel proud of my team because they worked and showed the spirit, mentality and ambition to win the game, even losing 2-0 [after 30 minutes]."

  He added: "If you fight for 90 minutes to win a game and in the last minute when the other team was trying to get a draw, wasting time to finish the game, defending in a low block to defend the result, even if we draw it was not fair. We deserved the three points but it's football. I feel proud of my players because they showed in a very difficult moment, the mentality, the team spirit, the organisation to try until the last minute to win the game."

• Pereira not worried about his future

  Despite the fan uproar, the 57-year-old remains confident of holding on to his position, as he added: "I'm not worried. It's not about me. It's about the club, the team and the players. My work is to help them to come again mentally strong for the next battle. Sometimes we have very difficult moments in our life that we have to suffer. What I saw in the dressing room was a team suffering. They did everything to get more from this game. 

  "What I said to them was today is a day we need to suffer but tomorrow we need to rise again ready for a fight. This is the mentality of this group. They deserve more than what we are getting in this league. I believe a win can change everything and feel today was the day but in the end, it was not. We must be ready to fight again and need our supporters again."

  Crucial week ahead

  Pereira signed a new three-year contract at Wolves only a month ago but former Manchester United scout Mick Brown claimed that a decision on the coach's future might be taken during the November international break and that the next few games will determine whether he will stay at the club.

  Wolves are due back in action at home to Chelsea in the fourth round of the Carabao Cup on Wednesday, before focus shifts to a must-win game away at Fulham in the Premier League three days later.

وجه النجم السابق للدوري الإنجليزي، آلان شيرر، نصيحة مهمة إلى المدير الفني لفريق ليفربول، آرني سلوت، فيما يتعلق بالنجم المصري محمد صلاح، في ظل الوضع السيئ الذي يمر به.

ويمر محمد صلاح بفترة سيئة للغاية حيث يعاني من تراجع مستواه بشكل ملحوظ وتراجع قدرته التهديفية، مما جعله عرضة للانتقادات في الآونة الأخيرة.

وقرر سلوت إجلاس محمد صلاح على دكة البدلاء في مباراة ليفربول الماضية ضد آينتراخت فرانكفورت في دوري أبطال أوروبا، للمرة الثانية على التوالي في تلك البطولة.

وطالب الكثيرون بضرورة إبعاد محمد صلاح عن التشكيل الأساسي لـ ليفربول كونه لا يستطيع تقديم أدائه المعهود عنه، ولكن آلان شيرر لا يتفق مع ذلك.

وقال شيرر، في تصريحات نشرتها شبكة “ليفربول دوت كوم” الإنجليزية: “أعتقد أنه من المبكر جدًا الجزم بأن محمد صلاح سيظل النجم الرئيسي في ليفربول”.

وأضاف: “أتفهم أنه عندما تستبعد لاعبًا كبيرًا ثم تحقق نتيجة إيجابية، كما فعل ليفربول، وتسيطر على المباراة وتسجل خمسة أهداف كما فعلوا، وكان في الإمكان أن تصبح النتيجة أكبر، ستثار الضجة من أجل استبعاده مجددًا”.

واختتم: “لكن لا يزال من المبكر جدًا الجزم بذلك، ما زلت أعتقد أن محمد صلاح، إذا حصل على وقت وقليل من الثقة، سيسجل عددًا كبيرًا من الأهداف”.

After a turbulent summer of injury, captaincy drama, and questions over his future in Spain, Barcelona’s Marc-Andre ter Stegen is now at the centre of Premier League attention. With Manchester United, Newcastle, and Tottenham circling ahead of the January window, the German could soon be tempted to swap Spain for England.

• Premier League call for ter Stegen

  Barcelona’s veteran goalkeeper ter Stegen has become a hot topic ahead of the January transfer window. The 33-year-old, currently sidelined with a back injury, has drawn concrete interest from United, Newcastle, and Tottenham. According to Sport, the clubs have contacted the La Liga side to explore a possible move once the Germany international returns to full fitness in late November. The goalkeeper has been out with injury since July 2025.

  Manchester United and Newcastle eye winter move for Ter Stegen

  United’s goalkeeping department remains unsettled under coach Ruben Amorim, while Newcastle are seeking experienced depth behind Nick Pope. Both clubs view ter Stegen as a proven shot-stopper who can bring leadership and composure. According to sources, several Premier League sides, as well as Monaco, have enquired about either a loan or a loan-to-buy deal. However, Barca are not interested in sanctioning a transfer unless the player himself requests one.

• Summer tensions with Barcelona

  Ter Stegen’s uncertain status stems from a tense summer at Olympic Stadium. His back injury and disagreement with the club over medical leave triggered a major fallout, leading to his temporary removal as captain. Barcelona wanted him to sign long-term medical leave papers to free up wage space for new arrivals like Garcia and Marcus Rashford under La Liga’s FFP rules, something the German initially refused, insisting his recovery wouldn’t exceed three months.

  The dispute spiraled into public statements and internal disciplinary action before being resolved through dialogue. Flick later admitted “communication mistakes” and reinstated him as captain, but the episode left a lasting crack in the relationship between the player and club leadership.

  Which team's the best fit for ter Stegen?

  A Premier League move would offer ter Stegen a chance to reclaim his elite status. At Old Trafford, his ball-playing skills and command could complement Amorim’s system, while at Newcastle, his experience fits Eddie Howe’s high-intensity, possession-based setup, as well as Spurs' way of playing.
