الغرافة يصرف النظر عن النصيري

تراجعت إدارة نادي الغرافة عن فكرة التعاقد مع المهاجم المغربي يوسف النصيري لاعب نادي الاتحاد السعودي. بالرغم من استفسار النادي عن وضعية اللاعب لتعزيز خط هجومه، إلا أن المطالب المالية المرتفعة حالت دون بدء مفاوضات رسمية حيث اشترط النادي السعودي مبلغاً مالياً كبيراً للتخلي عن بطاقة اللاعب. يتقاضى النصيري راتباً سنوياً ضخماً (يقارب 8 ملايين يورو)، وهو ما لم يكن الغرافة مستعداً لتحمله وتُقدّر قيمته السوقية الحالية بنحو 17 مليون يورو.

في واقعة صادمة هزّت الوسط الرياضي النيجيري، عاش لاعب كرة القدم تشينيدو أوزور لحظات درامية بعدما أُعلن عن وفاته رسميًا، قبل أن تظهر عليه علامات الحياة داخل المشرحة، في تطور أعاد حالة من الأمل والذهول في آن واحد.

وكان أوزور، الذي انضم حديثًا إلى صفوف كاتسينا يونايتد، قد سقط مغشيًا عليه خلال مباراة ودية أمام نيجر تورنادوز، ضمن تحضيرات الفريقين للموسم الجديد. وبعد نقله إلى أحد المستشفيات، أكد طبيب وفاته، قبل إعادة جثمانه إلى مستشفى كاتسينا العام.

لكن المفاجأة وقعت داخل المشرحة، عندما لاحظ العاملون حركة في يد اللاعب، ليتم نقله بصورة عاجلة إلى وحدة العناية المركزة، حيث يخضع للعلاج بالأكسجين، بينما يعمل الأطباء على إنعاشه ومتابعة حالته.

وكان نادي كاتسينا يونايتد قد أعلن في وقت سابق وفاة لاعبه الجديد، فيما سارعت رابطة الدوري النيجيري وعدد من الأندية إلى تقديم التعازي لعائلته وزملائه، قبل أن تتغير التطورات بشكل مفاجئ مع ظهور علامات على بقاء اللاعب حيًا.

وتسببت الواقعة في حالة من الصدمة والترقب داخل كرة القدم النيجيرية، فيما يواصل أوزور تلقي الرعاية الطبية وسط آمال بتماثله للشفاء واستقرار حالته. sport-tr.bet

Marseille, France: Manchester City have signed Argentina international goalkeeper Geronimo Rulli from Marseille on a two-year deal, both clubs announced on Wednesday.

The 34-year-old will serve as City's number-two goalkeeper behind Italian Gianluigi Donnarumma.

"This is an amazing opportunity for me and one I had to grasp," said Rulli, who returns for a second spell at City having spent the 2016/17 season at the Etihad without making a first team appearance.

"When the chance to join Manchester City comes along you have to go for it.

"Everyone knows what an impressive club this is.

"City's success over a long time has been impressive. Everyone I have spoken to about City said I had to join them because they are a club with incredibly high standards.

"My job now is to train hard, get to know the players and staff and do everything I can to reach my best level."

Rulli has won eight caps for Argentina and was in the squad that won the 2022 World Cup and 2024 Copa America and reached last month's World Cup final in which they lost to Spain.

He previously played for European clubs including Real Sociedad, Villarreal, Montpellier and Ajax.

He famously scored a penalty in Villarreal's 2021 Europa League final victory over Manchester United, before denying opposite number David de Gea to claim the trophy 11-10 in the shootout.

Having been fined 10 million euros for failing to meet UEFA break-even targets, Marseille have to sell players this summer to balance its books.

Marseille's fifth-place finish in Ligue 1 during the 2025-2026 season also means the club will not participate in the lucrative Champions League.

On Tuesday, Marseille announced the departure of another Argentine player, defender Facundo Medina, to Bayer Leverkusen after just one season with the club.

Marseille had previously parted ways with some of its highest earners, such as English forward Mason Greenwood, who left for Fenerbahce, and Gabonese striker Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang, who headed to Spanish side Deportivo La Coruña.

Buenos Aires, Argentina: Argentina superstar and inspiration behind his country's 2022 World Cup victory Lionel Messi said Wednesday he has "serious doubts" about continuing to play football for "much longer" after the death of his father Jorge Messi.

"I don't know what I'll do without you, I don't know how to go on. I just played football, and now I have serious doubts about continuing to do so for much longer," Messi, 39, wrote in a message on social media after his father, who was also his agent, died last week aged 68.

In the message, Messi, whose contract with Major League Soccer outfit Inter Miami runs till the end of the 2028 season, reflected on the final months of his father's life, which coincided with the 2026 World Cup.

"I kept telling you we would reach the final so you could make the trip," said Messi, who returned to the United States on Tuesday night following his father's funeral on Sunday.

"We made it to the final, but you couldn't be there. I wanted to win it to bring it to you and show you a new one. I couldn't, my legs just gave out.

"This time I tried to push past my physical limits, but I couldn't. I never felt right," Messi said in his first comments after the 1-0 loss to Spain in the final in New Jersey.

Messi highlighted his father's pivotal role in his life and career: "You were a father, a friend, and an agent. You were always exactly who you needed to be in every moment, and you never put a foot wrong."

Jorge Messi's unusual absence from the World Cup in June had already attracted attention.

Messi's family asked the media for "humanity" during the tournament amid persistent rumours over Jorge's health.

After bursting into tears after scoring against Algeria in a group match, Messi had admitted to dealing with "a situation outside of sports".

On Sunday, the eight-time Ballon d'Or winner bid farewell to his father during a private ceremony with close family and a few Argentina teammates in the town of Perez, adjacent to Rosario.

The cause of death was not disclosed.
