Breaking: Thiago Alcântara To Join Barça As Flick’s Aide

September 6, 2025 4:39 pm

Thiago Alcântara is set to make a sensational return to Barcelona, not as a player but as a member of Hansi Flick’s backroom staff. According to reports, a decision has been made and an agreement reached that will see the former midfielder join Flick’s coaching setup with immediate effect, with work scheduled to begin next week.

The 33-year-old, who announced his retirement from professional football earlier this summer after leaving Liverpool, will now embark on the next phase of his career in a familiar setting. Thiago spent his formative years at Barça, rising through La Masia before breaking into Pep …

PSG Suffer Double Blow As Dembélé, Doué Injured

September 6, 2025 4:28 pm

Paris Saint-Germain will have to navigate a crucial stretch of the season without two of their brightest talents. Ousmane Dembélé has been ruled out for six weeks with a hamstring injury, while summer signing Désiré Doué is also sidelined, compounding the club’s concerns ahead of both Ligue 1 and Champions League fixtures.

Dembélé sustained his injury while on international duty with France, cutting short what had been a promising start to the campaign. The winger’s pace and unpredictability have been central to Luis Enrique’s plans, and his absence will be felt immediately. He is now set to miss PSG’s Champions …

Trabzonspor, Man United Agree Onana Loan Deal

Trabzonspor, Man United Agree Onana Loan Deal

September 6, 2025 4:00 pm

Manchester United have reached a verbal agreement with Turkish club Trabzonspor for the season-long loan of goalkeeper André Onana, though the final decision rests with the player himself.

Onana, 29, joined United from Inter Milan in the summer of 2023 in a deal worth £47 million and was expected to be a long-term replacement for David de Gea. His time at Old Trafford, however, has been turbulent. While he showed flashes of his ability, high-profile errors and injuries undermined his position, and under new manager Ruben Amorim, he has slipped completely out of the Premier League picture.

US Job Growth Slows As Unemployment Hits 4-Year High

September 5, 2025 5:54 pm

The U.S. labor market showed signs of strain in August, with job growth slowing to a crawl and unemployment climbing to its highest level in nearly four years. The economy added just 22,000 jobs last month, a sharp deceleration from earlier gains, while the unemployment rate ticked up to 4.3% from 4.2%, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics.

Revisions to previous months painted a similarly sobering picture. June’s employment numbers were adjusted downward to show a loss of 13,000 jobs, marking the first negative month since December 2020 and ending what had been the second-longest period of continuous employment …

Google Hit with $3.45B EU Fine Over Ad Tech Practices

Google Hit with $3.45B EU Fine Over Ad Tech Practices

September 5, 2025 5:34 pm

Alphabet’s Google has been slapped with a 2.95-billion-euro ($3.45 billion) fine by European regulators, marking its fourth major penalty in a decade-long antitrust battle with the European Union. The ruling targets Google’s adtech business, accusing the company of favoring its own services over competitors and harming online publishers.

The European Commission said Google’s practices, in place since 2014, demonstrated a clear abuse of market power. The company allegedly prioritized its own online display technology in a way that disadvantaged rivals, distorting competition and limiting choice for advertisers and publishers alike.

During UN Meeting, US Considers Restricting Iranian Shoppers

September 5, 2025 5:15 pm

The Trump administration is weighing new restrictions that could sharply curtail the movements of several foreign delegations at the United Nations, raising tensions just weeks before the annual General Assembly convenes in New York.

Palestinian leader Mahmoud Abbas and his delegation were already denied visas, a decision that signaled a broader tightening of rules for visiting officials. Now, officials are considering imposing similar limitations on delegations from Iran, Sudan, Zimbabwe, and, unexpectedly, Brazil—a country long granted ceremonial honors during the high-profile gathering set to begin September 22.

One proposal under discussion would severely limit the everyday freedoms of Iranian diplomats …

Israel Strikes Dozens Of Buildings As Gaza Offensive Intensifies

September 5, 2025 5:05 pm

Gaza City bears the scars of relentless conflict, its neighborhoods carved by fire and rubble. Recent images reveal a city under siege: entire blocks of buildings erased, streets hollowed out, and makeshift shelters for displaced families vanished within weeks. The relentless advance of armored vehicles leaves tracks across once-thriving streets, marking a landscape transformed into a battlefield.

The city’s Sheikh Radwan, Zeitoun, and Tuffah districts have endured some of the heaviest damage. In Sheikh Radwan, roughly three kilometers from the city center, high-rises have been reduced to debris, leaving empty spaces where life once thrived. Satellite visuals capture the precise …

Tesla Proposes $1tn Award For Musk If He Hits Targets

September 5, 2025 4:54 pm

Tesla’s board has proposed an extraordinary pay package for CEO Elon Musk, potentially worth more than $1 trillion (£740bn) if he meets a series of ambitious targets over the next decade.

The plan would see Musk awarded shares gradually, rather than a salary or bonus, contingent on achieving milestones including an eightfold increase in Tesla’s market value, the sale of 1 million artificial intelligence robots, and 12 million additional Tesla vehicles. Each target is paired with an operational benchmark and earnings goals, designed to reward extraordinary growth.

The company’s board encouraged shareholders to approve the package. “Growth that may seem …

September 5, 2025 4:42 pm

U.S. immigration authorities carried out a large-scale raid at a Hyundai construction site in Georgia, resulting in the arrest of 475 people, officials confirmed Friday. The operation, conducted at the 3,000-acre HL-GA Battery Company facility, marks the largest single-site enforcement action in the history of Homeland Security Investigations.

The Department of Homeland Security said agents executed a court-approved search warrant in connection with allegations of “unlawful employment practices and other serious federal crimes.” The site, built to produce electric vehicle batteries, had been operational for about a year.

According to ICE, a majority of those detained were Korean nationals, and …

Owen: Kane Made Mistake Not Picking Man United

September 4, 2025 3:03 pm

Michael Owen has never been shy about giving blunt assessments, and this week the former England striker turned his attention to Harry Kane. Speaking about the England captain’s career choices, Owen argued that Kane “should’ve joined Manchester United a year or two ago,” calling it a move that “should’ve happened” when the timing was right.

Kane, 31, left Tottenham Hotspur last summer for Bayern Munich in search of trophies. The decision seemed inevitable after years of chasing silverware in North London, but Owen insists the Manchester route would have offered both personal glory and a chance to rescue United …

September 4, 2025 1:52 pm

Victor Boniface is not one to entertain whispers. Asked this week about reports suggesting that AC Milan pulled away from signing him due to medical concerns, the Nigerian striker brushed aside the speculation with a mix of candor and defiance.

“Whatever you want to believe in the media, believe it; it’s none of my business,” Boniface told reporters. “If the media says I’m a good kid, you can believe that. If they say I’m a bad kid, you can believe that too. That’s your business. Whatever they say about me is their business; I don’t care.”

Boniface’s words carried the …
