Since Graham Potter replaced Julen Lopetegui as manager, the Mexican has seen his role diminish compared to the regular starting spot he held under David Moyes.

Com o Allianz Parque sendo utilizado para um evento privado, o Palmeiras mandou o clássico contra o Santos realizado neste sábado (4) no estádio do Morumbi e fez da casa do São Paulo uma extensão da sua arena.

Foram 49.241 torcedores presentes, recorde do público do Verdão no Século XXI, superando uma marca que já perdurava há mais de 20 anos – um empate sem gols com o Corinthians pelo torneio Rio-SP, em 2002, quando 44.472 palmeirenses estiveram no mesmo Morumbi deste fim de semana.

A torcida do Palmeiras fez uma bonita festa no Morumbi, principalmente quando o Verdão abriu 3 a 0 – o duelo terminou 3 a 1 para os alviverdes. Houve show de luzes, com as lanternas dos celulares após o terceiro gol, marcado por Giovanni, aos 25 minutos do segundo tempo, além de gritos de olé no fim do jogo.

Também não houve registros de depredação ao patrimônio são-paulino. Palmeiras e São Paulo fizeram um acordo informal para que os clubes utilizem o estádio do rival quando os seus estiverem cedidos para shows e eventos. Em março, o Tricolor vai utilizar o Allianz Parque, pois o Morumbi estará cedido para shows da banda britânica Coldplay. Conselheiros palmeirenses tentam impedir isso.

Antes do jogo entre Palmeiras e Santos, a Independente, principal torcida uniformizada são-paulina, emitiu um alerta para os palmeirenses, indicando ‘lei do retorno’ caso houvesse danos ao Cícero Pompeu de Toledo neste fim de semana.

Either Arsenal or Tottenham Hotspur will miss out after identifying Bayer Leverkusen defender Piero Hincapie as a target in the summer transfer window's final week.

• Hincapie interested in Arsenal transfer
• Spurs have made an offer to Leverkusen
• Developing saga reminiscent of Eze situation

• WHAT HAPPENED?

  After Arsenal stepped up interest in Hincapie, revealed that the Ecuador international is taken by the project on offer should he move to the Emirates Stadium from Germany. The 23-year-old centre-back is described as "keen" on the proposed switch and an agreement on personal terms is not expected to be an issue after initial talks began.

  THE BIGGER PICTURE

  Tottenham have also shown interest in Hincapie, reportedly putting forward a proposal to Leverkusen comprised of a loan and $60 million (£52m/$70m) obligation to buy. That fee, while delayed until 2026, matches the relase clause in the player's contract. Arsenal, meanwhile, are trying to negotiate a lower figure to secure a permanent deal of their own.

  It follows the Gunners snatching Eberechi Eze from under their rivals' nose, although Hincapie is no way near as close to joining Spurs as the England international was last week.

• DID YOU KNOW?

  Arsenal are potentially offering less money than Tottenham, although Leverkusen stand to receive cash sooner. But with Hincapie's apparent preference for a move to the Emirates, his desire could influence or shape how the Bundesliga side respond to offers. It is a different situation to Eze because the rival proposals are not currently the same, whereas Arsenal had matched Tottenham's bid to Crystal Palace.

  WHAT NEXT?

  Romano adds that no Arsenal bid for Hincapie has yet been made, with the Gunners first needing to find new clubs for Oleksandr Zinchenko and Jakub Kiwior. The latter is the subject of interest from Porto, who are reported to have made an approach over a loan with obligation to buy. Arsenal are looking for around £25m ($32m) for the Poland international, potentially half of what it might take to sign Hincapie.

Victor Boniface speaks out again after his failed transfer to AC Milan and admits he considered retirement due to his recurring knee problems.

Boniface has spoken candidly about his battle with knee injuries after a proposed move to AC Milan collapsed. The Nigerian striker was set to join the Serie A side on loan from Bayer Leverkusen for €5 million, with a €24m (£21m/$28m) buy option, but the deal fell through after he failed his medical at San Siro.

The 24-year-old joined Leverkusen from Belgian side Union Saint-Gilloise in 2023 and was instrumental in his debut campaign at the BayArena, scoring 21 goals in 34 appearances as the German side lifted their first-ever Bundesliga title, won the DFB-Pokal, and finished as Europa League runners-up. However, the two ACL injuries he suffered, first in the 2018-19 season and then in the 2020-21 season, continue to be an issue for the striker. He missed 14 games last season due to multiple fitness problems. Following his failed medical, Boniface returned to Germany. Now, he has opened up on his battles with injuries and explained why his move to Milan ultimately collapsed.

WHAT VICTOR BONIFACE SAID

Speaking on a live stream, Boniface said: "The transfer didn't work out because of my past injuries. I had two injuries to my right knee, and the problem has persisted for a long time. At one point, I had given up. While others were playing football, I was working just to get back to playing. After my second anterior cruciate ligament injury, I didn't even want to play anymore because of the pain from the first one and what I had gone through during the second one. I also lost my mother during that time."

Speaking to , Leverkusen sporting director Simon Rofles spoke about Boniface's failure to clear the Milan medical. 

“If he comes back [to Leverkusen], the Milan deal will be over. It’s no big secret," he said. It is understood that the former Bodo/Glimt forward underwent four medical examinations in Italy. However, the Rossoneri have withdrawn their interest amid concerns over his poor injury history. Per reports, Milan have reached an agreement to sign Sporting CP striker Conrad Harder in an operation worth €24m plus €3m in bonuses. However, the Dane could join French club Rennes instead.

Wales boss Craig Bellamy took a playful jibe at Wrexham after including three of their stars in the national team squad for their upcoming World Cup qualifiers next month. The Red Dragons have spent heavily in the summer transfer window following their third consecutive promotion to the Championship this season. The Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhennery-owned club have added 10 new players to their roster.

  Wales boss Bellamy named goalkeeper Danny Ward and forwards Nathan Broadhead and Kieffer Moore in the national team squad as he announced a 25-man roster for their upcoming international matches next month. Wales will first face Kazakhstan in a World Cup qualifier on September 4 and then face Canada in an international friendly five days later.

• WHAT BELLAMY SAID

  Shortly after announcing the squad, the former Liverpool and Manchester City forward took a cheeky jibe at the Red Dragons as he told reporters: "What money can do, huh? It always helps of course, with the more Welsh players can be together. There aren't similarities to how we play with Wales and how Wrexham play. They're two different ways, and there's no right or wrong way with this.

  "But for instance, with Kieffer, the way Wrexham play will definitely suit him, and I feel that when I've watched him with Wrexham, you can see that. With Broady, it'd be nice for him to get a consistent run of playing week in, week out. And to me, with the fee Wrexham paid, it looks like he will get that. That leaves me excited with Broady, because I believe there's a really good footballer there. He has the benchmarks, especially with intensity, to really flourish there."

  THE BIGGER PICTURE

  Bellamy added: "Wardy has worked hard to get to where he has as well. He had a tricky spell last year but came through it mentally as well. I'm delighted to see him playing for Wrexham as well as it's his club.

  "It's just the journey of Wrexham and I think we're all captivated by it. It's been amazing for Welsh football, and hopefully, in a number of years, we'll see young players coming through that. Whether it's Swansea, Newport, Cardiff or Wrexham, the better they do, then the better chance we have of being a stronger nation in football, so it's always positive."

Newcastle United are prepared to sell striker Alexander Isak if Premier League rivals Liverpool submit an offer of £130 million on Monday.

Newcastle ready to sell Isak to LiverpoolHave set a final price tag of £130mMagpies to cash in even if they can't sign a new strikerFollow GOAL on WhatsApp! 🟢📱WHAT HAPPENED?

According to a report from , Newcastle's Saudi-based owners Public Investment Fund (PIF) have decided to let their guard down and are prepared to facilitate Isak's departure if Liverpool can table a £130 million (€150m/$175m) bid for the striker. Reports earlier this week mentioned that the defending league champions would return with an offer worth £130m, which would break the British transfer record set by Liverpool after capturing Florian Wirtz from Bayer Leverkusen for £116m.

The report explains Newcastle will not stand in Isak's way if Liverpool make an offer worth considering, despite having insisted on a £150m (€173m/$203m) fee all summer. The Magpies have tried hard to sign two forwards and recently completed a club-record move for Nick Woltemade from Stuttgart. Newcastle have made big efforts to land Brentford's Yoane Wissa and Wolves' Jorgen Strand Larsen, but approaches for both players have been rebuffed. However, it is understood that Isak's potential exit will not hinge on Newcastle's success in signing another player for the attack.

TELL ME MORE

Isak's relationship with Newcastle and their fans is at an all-time low. Having joined the club in 2022, the Sweden international became one of the best strikers in the world after scoring 54 goals in just 86 Premier League games. In the last two seasons, he has registered tallies of 21 and 23 goals in the top-flight, which earned Isak a demigod status among Newcastle fans. However, he has been training away from the squad and hasn't made a single appearance this season after publicly expressing his desire to leave. Since then, fans' love for Isak has turned to borderline hatred, with shirts reading the words "Isak is a rat" put on sale outside St James' Park.

Earlier this week, Newcastle's owners met with Isak at the player's house to reach a resolution regarding his future. However, the 25-year-old has stood firm on his decision to seek pastures new this summer. Newcastle's hierarchy is believed to have offered Isak a new contract in an attempt to keep him at the club for another season. The new contract would reportedly include an exit clause which would allow Isak to leave next summer for a fixed price. Liverpool sending a formal proposal for the ex-Real Sociedad marksman is not set in stone as things stand, however. They signed Hugo Ekitike in a big-money move from Eintracht Frankfurt earlier this summer and the Frenchman has started his life at Anfield with a bang, scoring thrice in his first four games.
