يقترب لاعب الفريق الأول لكرة القدم بنادي لايبزج الألماني من الانتقال إلى تشيلسي الإنجليزي خلال فترة الانتقالات الصيفية الجارية.

ويرغب النادي الإنجليزي في تعزيز صفوفه لمواجهة تحديات الموسم المقبل بعد الإنجازات التي حققها الموسم المنقضي من التتويج ببطولتي دوري المؤتمر وكأس العالم للأندية 2025.

وتمكن البلوز من حصد لقب كأس العالم للأندية 2025 لأول مرة في نسخته الجديدة بعدما فاز على باريس سان جيرمان بثلاثية نظيفة في المباراة النهائية على ملعب “ميتلايف”.

ووفقًا لصحيفة “إيكسبريس”، فإن الهولندي تشافي سيمونز، لاعب خط وسط الفريق الأول لكرة القدم بنادي لايبزج الألماني يرغب في الانتقال إلى أحد أندية الدوري الإنجليزي الممتاز خلال الموسم المقبل.

أفادت الصحيفة أنه استعان بخدمات وكيل أعمال بارز لتحقيق أمنيته، خاصةً مع تمتع الوسيط بعلاقات مع عدد من لاعبي تشيلسي الحاليين، مثل نيكولاس جاكسون وموسيس كايسيدو.

اللاعب البالغ من العمر 22 عامًا، والذي يجيد اللعب في خط الوسط الهجومي أو الجناح، سجل 21 هدفًا في 76 مباراة مع ناديه الحالي لايبزيج وتألق بشدة في الدوري الهولندي الممتاز هذا الموسم قبل أن ينتقل إلى ألمانيا، مسجلاً 22 هدفًا في جميع المسابقات مع بي إس في آيندهوفن.

يُذكر أنه حدثت مفاوضات بين ديكو، المدير الرياضي لنادي برشلونة وبين تشافي سيمونز في وقت سابق للتعاقد معه لكنها لم تُستكمل.

The Scottish Premiership season has perhaps gone as expected. Celtic are top of the pile after an excellent start to the season, and they look on track for a fourth league title in a row.

Glasgow Rangers are second despite some shoddy domestic form which cost Philippe Clement his job, while the chase for third is between Aberdeen, Hibernian and Dundee United.

The likes of Hearts, St Mirren and Motherwell are battling it out for a place in the top six ahead of the split, while St Johnstone look doomed at the bottom of the table.

Doing well in Scotland could see a manager secure a bigger job elsewhere – one that offers a great financial package, along with opportunities in better leagues.

As such, just how much are the managers paid in the Scottish top flight? Here, we rank each Premiership manager by their annual wage.

No salary information is currently available for Motherwell’s Michael Wimmer or Hearts boss Neil Critchley, with both managers joining their current clubs mid-season. The same applies to interim Rangers boss Barry Ferguson, with predecessor Clement thought to be on a salary of £1.5m per year.

Jim Goodwin (Dundee United)

£180k per year

Dundee United have been the surprise package in the Premiership this season. Jim Goodwin was hounded out of Aberdeen after a dismal loss to Darvel in the Scottish Cup back in 2023, but he has proved everyone wrong so far at Tannadice.

The Arabs are still in with a shout of European qualification and have taken points off both Celtic and Rangers this term.

Goodwin earns £180k per year, which is perhaps undervaluing him compared to his counterparts.

8

Tony Docherty (Dundee)

£180k per year

Tony Docherty is doing a solid job at Dundee since taking over the club ahead of the 2023/24 campaign.

He led the Dens Park outfit to a wonderful top-six finish in the top flight last season, allowing them to play against the likes of Rangers and Celtic after the split, giving them a chance of qualifying for Europe.

Docherty developed players such as Luke McCowan and Lyall Cameron. The former joined Celtic last summer while Cameron has signed a pre-contact deal with Rangers.

Docherty is paid £180k per year at Dundee.

7

Don Cowie (Ross County)

£200k per year

Ross County manager Don Cowie has a fight on his hands if he is to avoid another relegation playoff with the club.

Last season, the Highland side defeated Raith Rovers to maintain their top-flight status and hopes were high that they could move towards the top six. Instead, they are in the thick of another relegation battle.

Cowie has been in charge of County since 2024 and is thought to earn £200k per year at the club.

6

Derek McInnes (Kilmarnock)

£200k per year

Derek McInnes led Aberdeen to their first trophy in nearly 20 years back in 2014, but things later turned sour, leading to his departure in 2021.

He has revitalised Kilmarnock during his spell in Ayr. He led the club back into the Premiership in 2022 before securing a superb fourth-place finish in 2023/24, including a victory over Rangers in the process.

For his troubles, McInnes takes home £200k per year.

5

Stephen Robinson (St Mirren)

£225k per year

Stephen Robinson has done an excellent job since moving to St Mirren in 2022. He led the club to back-to-back top-six finishes in the top flight for the first time in the club’s history.

The Buddies have an outside chance of another placing in the top six at the time of writing, but they did enjoy European football at the start of the season. Robinson earns £225k per year at St Mirren.

4

Simo Valakari (St Johnstone)

£250k-per-year

St Johnstone manager Simo Valakari has a huge job on his hands preventing the Saints from slipping out of the top flight this season.

They are stranded at the bottom of the table and it looks like a matter of time before their demotion is confirmed. It will take a remarkable recovery to move up the league table from here.

Valakari earns £250k per year in Perth, though that may not be the case in a few weeks’ time.

3

Jimmy Thelin (Aberdeen)

£250k per year

Jimmy Thelin led Aberdeen to a stunning start in the 2024/25 season, earning a draw with Celtic while also securing three points against a disjointed Rangers side in October to threaten a top-two finish.

However, since a hammering in the League Cup semi-final by Celtic at the start of November, the Dons have been wildly out of sorts. Aberdeen remain in the race for third, but they will be frustrated to have taken advantage of their superb start.

The Swede earns £250k per year in the north-east.

2

David Gray (Hibernian)

£275k per year

David Gray endured a difficult start as Hibs boss, but he was backed by the board and has since taken the club to the cusp of third place after some excellent results.

More positive results between now and May will see the Easter Road outfit secure a European spot. He earns £275k per year – the highest-paid manager outside the Old Firm.

1

Brendan Rodgers (Celtic)

£2.5m per year

Brendan Rodgers is on the cusp of leading Celtic to yet another treble. He claimed all three trophies during the first two seasons of his initial spell at Parkhead.

The club’s narrow defeat to Bayern Munich in the Champions League proves that he is finally adapting to European football, evidenced by the fact the club secured qualification for the play-off round.

He currently earns £2.5m per year at the club, and if he does win all three domestic trophies, he could yet demand more.

A conversa contou com a participação deFelipe Ximenes, gestor com passagens por diversos clubes brasileiros, Cícero Souza, gerente de futebol do Palmeiras, e Bruno Spindel, executivo do Flamengo.

Para Rui, é essencial que além dos recursos necessários para a implantação de um negócio dentro do time, é preciso ter como foco os principiais objetivos a serem alcançados.

O atual diretor-executivo são-paulino iniciou a carreira no Grêmio, em 2013, e participou na montagem do elenco que conquistou a Copa do Brasil de 2016 e a Libertadores, no ano seguinte. Também esteve presente na reconstrução da Chapecoense, após o acidente. Além disso, contou com passagens pelo Athletico-PR e pelo Atlético-MG.

-Na indústria do futebol, não adianta participar de um projeto se não sei onde quero chegar. Mesmo que haja muitos recursos e condições favoráveis para implantação de um planejamento, é necessário ter em mente exatamente o que preciso e desejo, seja em um clube de primeira ou segunda divisão, se não o fracasso é quase uma obviedade – afirmou o dirigente.

Com sua experiência em diversos clubes, Rui Costa também ressaltou ser importante reconhecer a cultura da equipe e com o que está lidando quando o assunto é gestão esportiva.

-Eu tive a oportunidade profissional de trabalhar em clubes completamente distintos. Aprendi que é fundamental compreender onde você está, com quem está lidando, qual cultura está integrando e de que forma você vai rapidamente pertencer a esse processo – destacou.

-Há uma série de variáveis que faz com que você se volte para dentro. Cada vez mais nós temos que dimensionar claramente que precisamos olhar as coisas de forma muito ampla e não de forma específica – completou.

No São Paulo, atua como diretor-executivo há quase dois anos. Desde quando assumiu o cargo, esteve presente na conquista de um título – no caso, o Campeonato Paulista de 2021. Este, por sua vez, rompeu um jejum sem conquistas que era mantido há mais de oito anos.

O dirigente destacou que um dos principais focos da sua gestão é recuperar o protagonismo do clube. Conforme as suas palavras, as finais recentes e as classificações para as semifinais da Copa Sul-Americana e Copa do Brasil já é um caminho para este objetivo.

Porém, Rui Costa também afirmou ser essencial ter um planejamento estratégico pensando nestes pontos.

-O título paulista tem peso para o São Paulo. Chegamos em duas finais, perdemos uma e ganhamos outra. Chegar às semifinais (Copa do Brasil e Sul-Americana) também era um dos objetivos para a retomada do protagonismo. O que temos hoje é algo a ser comemorado Mas é importante que a gente consiga construir essa retomada de planejamento vitorioso e estratégico – concluiu.

Four out of the first seven women’s games have been abandoned without a ball being bowled

ESPNcricinfo staff and ECB Reporters Network05-Aug-2023Rain wiped out both women’s fixtures in the Hundred on Saturday without a ball being bowled, meaning four of the first seven women’s games have been abandoned.Manchester Originals and London Spirit, who suffered washouts against Welsh Fire and Oval Invincibles, respectively, in their opening fixtures, were unable to get on the field at Emirates Old Trafford on Saturday morning, with the game called off shortly after midday.Birmingham Phoenix and Trent Rockets both lost their opening games – against Northern Superchargers and Southern Brave respectively – and their fixture at Edgbaston was called off shortly before 4.30pm on Saturday, after heavy rain in Birmingham.”If we would have played two games and won one and lost one, we would be in the competition and at least we would have played,” Stephen Parry, Originals’ head coach, said. “The good news is that we’ve got two points – and that’s the best start the Originals have ever had.”It isn’t the way we wanted to get the points but I’m really looking forward to seeing the girls go out there and show their skills, because they’ve been absolutely fantastic.”Parry said that Originals’ preparation has been affected throughout the build-up to the Hundred: “We had a training session at Ramsbottom and that was rain-affected; the rain has been with us for two weeks. But the attitude and energy of the girls has been second to none and I’m really pleased how they’ve gone about their business.”Emma Whiteman, London Spirit’s team manager, said: “We just want to play and it’s hugely disappointing that this has happened again.”We’ve always said we need to adapt to whatever conditions are presented, whether that is the opposition or the good old British weather, so we’re training now and hopefully we’ll get going together on Tuesday.”The weather also accounted for both of the scheduled fixtures in the men’s 50-over domestic competition on Saturday. Middlesex versus Surrey was washed out at Radlett, while Nottinghamshire and Yorkshire took a point each from their fixture at Trent Bridge.

Originals heavily beaten after losing captain Ecclestone in warm-ups

Danni Wyatt led the Southern Brave into Sunday’s Hundred final at Lord’s with a superb 60 off 32 balls, as they chased down 119 to beat Manchester Originals by eight wickets in their final group fixture at Emirates Old Trafford, where there was drama on and off the field.England spinner and Originals captain Sophie Ecclestone was ruled out after suffering a shoulder injury during warm-up. She pulled out at the last minute and Amara Carr stepped in as her replacement, with Ellie Threlkeld skippering the side.Ecclestone later went to hospital for a scan, as her England team-mate Wyatt was carrying the Brave to a seventh win in eight group fixtures.The Brave have topped the table and now advance to play the winner of Saturday’s Eliminator between Northern Superchargers and Welsh Fire at The Kia Oval.Wyatt was well supported by England team-mate Maia Bouchier, the pair sharing 93 in 44 balls for the second wicket, Bouchier finished unbeaten with 47 off 25 balls.Batting first, Fi Morris and Laura Wolvaardt were the leading duo for the Originals with 50 and 46, both facing 39 balls.Georgia Adams (obscured) struck early for Southern Brave•ECB/Getty Images

They shared a second-wicket partnership of 88 in 69, advancing from 7 for 1 after eight balls to underpin a total of 118 for 4.Morris played the spinners well, eventually departing after attempting an ambitious reverse shot against a well-directed bouncer from Lauren Bell – 95 for 1 after 77.From there, the Originals would have wanted more, but gathering singles wasn’t going to be a good enough against a strong batting line-up for the league leading Brave. South African opener Wolvaardt looked good, particularly eye-catching on the drive.But, after an expensive start, Anya Shrubsole returned to get her and Deandra Dottin both caught in the deep as the innings lost momentum inside its last 10 balls.While Shrubsole finished with 2 for 33 from her 20 balls, Bell and Georgia Adams were both excellent for 1 for 15 and 1 for 19 respectively.The Brave started their reply knowing they needed to reach 112 to stay ahead of the Northern Superchargers and qualify directly for the final even with a defeat.Indian Smriti Mandhana was run out by a direct hit from Amanda-Jade Wellington early in the Brave chase – 15 for 1 after 13 balls – but that was the only blip.From there, it was smooth-sailing for the league-leaders, who are chasing their first title after two previous final defeats to Oval Invincibles.Wyatt and Bouchier were both strong down the ground, though the former did reach her fifty off 28 balls with a swept six off Emma Lamb, who she had hit for three fours moments earlier.By that time, it was game over at 97 for 1 after 50 balls. Wyatt was bowled by Kathryn Bryce but it was too little too late. Southern Brave won by eight wickets and will be straight into the final at Lord’s this Sunday.

The physio was seen taping his leg while he was batting towards the closing stages of that game.Axar has some swelling on his forearm as well after being hit by a throw from a fielder. ESPNcricinfo understands there is no fracture. He also bruised his wrist during a full-stretch dive into the crease while batting.

Giménez isn’t worried about his goal droughtpursues Gold Cup back-to-back titlesMatch will take place at Levi’s StadiumFollow GOAL on WhatsApp! 🟢📱Getty Images SportWHAT HAPPENED?

Mexico international striker Santiago Giménez praised coach Javier “Vasco” Aguirre and his staff for reshaping the team’s ethos during the 2025 Gold Cup.

“We’ve built a strong family with Aguirre’s leadership. With all his experience and our respect for him, he’s brought back our Mexican identity and given fans someone to connect with,” Giménez said.

Despite not scoring in the tournament, the AC Milan forward has remained composed, emphasizing that the team’s success comes first.

“That’s not our concern. Whether it’s Raúl [Jimenez], [Ángel] Sepúlveda, [Alexis] Vega, or me up front, we all know whoever has the moment will score – and we’ll celebrate together," he said. "We’re all united under the same flag, holding hands toward our goal: winning.”

Looking ahead to Honduras, he acknowledged their strength at home but said confidence is high thanks to fan support.

“They’re tough in their country – we haven’t beaten them there in two tries. But now, with our fans behind us, we’re motivated and ready to get the win," Gimenez said.

Mexico’s attack has struggled to produce, with just seven goals in the tournament so far – only one from a center-forward in Raúl Jiménez and two from attacking players. Most of the scoring has come from defenders or an own goal. Center back César Montes leads the team with three goals, making him top scorer at the competition.
