El 'Cuti' Romero empieza a llamar a la puerta del once del Atlético

Mientras Julián Álvarez da por hecha su continuidad y llega el delantero Jonathan David, que viajó a Madrid a primera hora de la mañana de este martes, y que ultima su cesión al conjunto rojiblanco desde el Juventus, el Atlético se ejercitó con varios temas pendientes en el último día del cierre del mercado, como son las salidas de Thomas Lemar, Obed Vargas, Carlos Martín y quizá José María Giménez. El límite para las grandes ligas europeas es este martes.

Finsk langrennsstjerne legger opp

Finlands langrennsveteran Kerttu Niskanen (38) har bestemt seg for å legge skiene på hylla.
Niskanen har åtte individuelle seirer i verdenscupen, og i 2023 vant hun distansecupen. Hun har totalt fem medaljer fra OL, men vant aldri selve gullet.
Nærmest kom hun i OL i Beijing i 2022. Da ble det sølv etter at hun ble slått av Therese Johaug med fire tideler.
– Jeg har fått lov til å drive med langrenn på profesjonelt nivå i utrolige 20 år. Reisen har rommet enormt mange oppturer, seiersfester, opplevelser, utvikling, utfordringer og nederlag. Alt det konkurranseidrett innebærer, skriver Niskanen på Instagram. esporist.org

Football transfer rumours: Manchester United and Liverpool eye Kroupi? Vardy to Wrexham?

Today’s rumours are squeezing out every last drop

The final day of the men’s transfer window is here, but there is still time for some rumourmongering, before a Supermarket Sweep-style trolley dash for 11th-hour signings.

Going wild in the aisles? Manchester United’s interest in a new left-back has been known all summer long, yet here they stand without one on the final day of the window. While many are claiming United’s business could be done, RB Leipzig’s David Raum, Fulham stalwart Antonee Robinson and Fenerbahce’s English left-back Archie Brown have all been mentioned as possible last-minute acquisitions. Jorge Salinas of Racing Santander has been tracked by United throughout the window and some are reporting that deal could be done today for €16m (£13.7m). Burnley are keen on United’s own youngster Harry Amass, but his departure may depend on a left-back coming in.

Barcelona breeze past Rayo but all eyes in Spain remain on Julián Álvarez

Hansi Flick is very happy to welcome Gabriel Jesus to Barcelona. But Julián Álvarez remains the ultimate prize

If Raphinha has any misgivings about playing as a makeshift No 9 for Barcelona, he is doing a good job of hiding it. Julián Álvarez would have been proud of the Brazilian’s two neat finishes that inspired the Spanish champions to a 5-2 victory against Rayo Vallecano on Monday night, 24 hours before the transfer deadline. Lamine Yamal scored two wonderful goals of his own in a performance that reassured everyone he is back to his best. Add Anthony Gordon to the mix – impressive again in his link-up play – and you have a fluid, fearsome front three.

Yet after the departures of Ferran Torres, Robert Lewandowski and Marcus Rashford this summer, there is no doubt Barcelona not only still want a centre-forward but require one – at least one. Hansi Flick was very happy to see Gabriel Jesus, an £8.6m arrival from Arsenal, in the stands. “He’s a top striker,” the coach said. But Atlético Madrid’s Álvarez is the ultimate prize.
