Palmeiras hand Manchester City transfer blow with internal rethink over sought-after forwarPalmeiras have shifted their focus to developing Conceicao internally over selling this summerThe Brazilian club want around 42M for the 16-year-old should they decide to sell in the futureConceicao has been handed a new contract with a 85M release clause to protect his valuePalmeiras have placed the futures of Manchester City and Manchester Uniteds pursuit of teenage winger Eduardo Conceicao on hold, as per a new report from Brazil.Conceicao had been among the most talked-about teenage prospects in South American football across the past several months, with his performances for Palmeiras U20 side and for Brazil at the FIFA U17 World Cup generating significant interest from some of the biggest clubs in Europe.The 16-year-old, who operates as a direct right-footed left winger with exceptional verticality and pace, was tracked by Manchester City and a host of other European heavyweights including Barcelona, Arsenal, Chelsea, Liverpool and Paris Saint-Germain with the breadth of the interest reflecting a profile already regarded internally at Palmeiras as one of the finest young talents to emerge from their academy in recent memory.Manchester City target Palmeiras starlet in 40 million move as agent situation clouds dealManchester United are understood to have held more formal discussions over a potential deal, with reports from Brazil suggesting the club signalled their intention to table a formal offer but those conversations have now cooled significantly following a shift in Palmeiras own thinking about the right path forward for the teenager.Palmeiras position has been shaped in part by the knowledge that Conceicao cannot officially join a European club until he turns 18, meaning any deal agreed this summer would not produce a physical arrival until January 2028 at the earliest a timeline that gives the club considerable leverage to hold their ground and continue developing him within their own structure.Report: Palmeiras resolve to develop Conceicao as asking price set at 42MAs reported by Globo Esporte and relayed by Sport Witness, Palmeiras have now resolved to retain Conceicao and promote him into the senior squad, with the club having altered their stance after negotiations cooled during the World Cup period.Should they decide to sell in future windows, Palmeiras are understood to be targeting a fee of around 42 million, a figure that reflects both the players exceptional potential and the precedent set by the clubs recent sale of Estevao to Chelsea for a figure in excess of that amount.Conceicao has been secured on a new contract that includes a release clause understood to be in the region of 85 million, providing significant protection against any unsolicited approach at a lower valuation and giving Palmeiras full control over the terms on which any future departure could occur.Manchester Citys summer transfer window so farCitys pursuit of Conceicao was one of several youth-level threads in a summer that has already delivered a club record 116 million signing of Elliot Anderson and the dual academy coups of Jeremy Monga from Leicester and Mishel Nduka from Arsenals Hale End.From Brazil: Manchester City advancing in negotiations for Palmeiras Eduardo ConceicaoOn the senior side, Geronimo Rulli is close to joining from Marseille as backup goalkeeper, while the pursuit of Ayyoub Bouaddi from Lille remains the most significant piece of ongoing incoming business, with verbal agreement on personal terms already in place and the clubs working through the final structural details of a deal.The Conceicao update is a reminder that not every pursuit in a busy window reaches a conclusion, but it does not close off Citys interest entirely, with a player of his profile expected to remain on the radar of director of football Hugo Viana as he continues to build the long-term pipeline of talent at the Etihad Stadium.

Jalen Hurts has long been one of the NFL's most dangerous dual-threat quarterbacks, racking up at least 600 rushing yards in four straight seasons from 2021 through 2024. That streak snapped last season, when Hurts carried the ball just 105 times for 421 yards, a career-low 4.0 yards per attempt.With Sean Mannion now running the show, the Eagles' offense is expected to lean heavily on under-center formations and play-action; a stylistic departure from the shotgun-based system Philadelphia has run for most of the Hurts era. According to ESPN's Tim McManus, Mannion plans to dial up "a healthy amount" of designed runs for Hurts moving forward. Eagles' Jalen Hurts is expected to "use his legs a little more than last season," as new OC Sean Mannion has dialed up a "healthy amount" of designed QB runs, per @Tim_McManus(via @espn) pic.twitter.com/IXX638KAMs SleeperNFL (@SleeperNFL) August 5, 2026Philadelphia enters the season with real questions surrounding its receiving corps after trading star receiver A.J. Brown to New England. DeVonta Smith is left as the undisputed top target, while newcomer Dontayvion Wicks and rookie Makai Lemon are expected to step into featured roles. With uncertainty in the passing game, leaning back into Hurts' rushing ability is a logical way to keep the offense explosive and unpredictable while the new pieces gel.None of this guarantees a return to 600-plus rushing yards, and training camp trends don't always translate directly to the regular season, especially with a new play-caller still installing his system. But between Mannion's stated intent and what the early practice reps have shown us, we can expect a more dynamic Jalen Hurts in 2026.Jalen Freaking Hurts 44-yd run ladies & gentlemen @jalenhurts | #FlyEaglesFlypic.twitter.com/9Hc4tUz3zI Philadelphia Eagles (@Eagles) January 19, 2025This article originally appeared on Eagles Wire: Eagles QB Jalen Hurts expected to 'use his legs a little more' next season

Bournemouth have completed an 11.1 million ($ million) deal for Sevilla right-back Juanlu as head coach Marco Rose finalises his squad for the clubs first season in Europe.Former Spain Under-21 international Juanlu has signed a five-year contract at the Vitality Stadium for an initial 9.4 million fee and could cost a further 1.7 million in add-ons.The 22-year-old is the Cherries third signing of the summer following the transfers of centre-back Antonio Silva from Benfica and forward Alvaro Rodriguez from Elche.With the arrival of Juanlu, who made 109 first-team appearances for Sevilla and helped Spain win Olympic gold at Paris 2024, Roses squad is understood to be 95% complete ahead of the clubs Europa League campaign.Bournemouth moved for a right-back after allowing Alex Jimenez to join Fiorentina on a season-long loan. The 21-year-old was suspended by the club in May following allegations concerning posts made on social media.

Diego Forlan was named player of the tournament at the 2010 World Cup (Rodrigo ARANGUA)Former striker Diego Forlan has been appointed head coach of the Uruguay national team following their disastrous World Cup campaign, the country's football association (AUF) announced Thursday.Forlan will take over, reportedly on an interim basis, from Marcelo Bielsa who stepped down following Uruguay's group-stage exit from the World Cup."Diego Forlan is coming home (to take charge of) the Under-20 national team and the senior national team," the AUF said in a short statement.The agreement with Forlan, who won the Golden Ball award for player of the tournament at the 2010 World Cup, was finalised after weeks of negotiations.The 47-year-old will take over as interim coach but his contract keeps the door open for an extension, AUF sources recently told AFP.He will be in charge of the team for friendlies in September, October and March.Two-time world champions Uruguay are reeling after failing to get out of their group for a second successive World Cup.Back-to-back draws with Saudi Arabia and Cape Verde put them in unexpected danger of crashing out, before their elimination was confirmed by a loss to eventual champions Spain.The 71-year-old Bielsa was widely criticised for his tactics and for the decision to coax Fernando Muslera out of international retirement, with the veteran goalkeeper then making a string of errors.Forlan has little coaching experience despite enjoying a stellar playing career.He made his coaching debut during the 2020 season with former club Penarol but left the post after just 11 matches due to poor results.Forlan's only other managerial stint came in 2021, when he spent 12 games in charge of Atenas in the Uruguayan second division.He is highly regarded, though, in Uruguay after scoring 36 international goals, including five during their run to the 2010 World Cup semi-finals, in 112 appearances.Forlan, alongside strike partner Luis Suarez, was also a key member of Uruguay's 2011 Copa America-winning side.He enjoyed prolific spells at both Villarreal and Atletico Madrid in Spain, winning the European Golden Shoe award with both clubs.Forlan endured a difficult stint at Manchester United between 2001 and 2004, despite winning the Premier League in 2002/03.gfe/iga/chc/gk/jc/pi

The price of keeping Jahmyr Gibbs in Detroit continues to climb.Spotrac now projects the Lions star toward a three-year, $68.5 million extension, which would carry an average annual value of approximately $22.83 million.That estimate would place Gibbs above the new deals signed by Bijan Robinson and Jonathan Taylor, making him the NFLs highest-paid running back by annual value.One distinction matters: this is a contract projection, not a reported offer from the Lions or an agreement between the two sides.Gibbs Projection Lands Just Below $23 Million Per YearThe running back market shifted quickly this week.Robinson reportedly agreed to an extension averaging $22.25 million in new money, while Taylor followed with a two-year deal averaging $22 million before incentives. Spotracs model now places Gibbs slightly ahead of both at roughly $22.83 million annually.That is hardly an outrageous jump.Gibbs is only 24 years old and remains under contract through 2027 after Detroit exercised his fifth-year option. His existing deal carries a 2026 cap charge of approximately $5.68 million, giving general manager Brad Holmes room to spread an extensions signing bonus across multiple seasons.Detroit Would Be Paying Gibbs for His PrimeGibbs age should work strongly in his favor.The Lions would not be paying an older running back after years of heavy punishment. They would be locking up an explosive offensive centerpiece before he enters the prime seasons of his career.Detroit also has publicly prepared for Gibbs to handle a larger offensive role. That increases his value, but it also strengthens the argument for giving him long-term protection before his workload rises.A three-year extension would avoid trapping Detroit in an excessively long running back contract. It would also give Gibbs the market-leading annual salary his production and importance can support.Spotracs Gibbs Estimate Has Already IncreasedEarlier this offseason, Spotrac projected Gibbs toward a three-year, $62 million extension. The deals for Robinson and Taylor appear to have raised that model considerably, with the latest estimate reaching $68.5 million.That is the risk Detroit faced by waiting for the market to develop.Once Robinson and Taylor crossed the $22 million threshold, Gibbs had little reason to accept less. The remaining negotiation likely centers on guarantees, signing-bonus money and how the contract will fit alongside future extensions for Brian Branch and Sam LaPorta.Bottom LineSpotrac projects Jahmyr Gibbs to land a three-year, $68.5 million extension worth about $22.83 million per season.That number would make Gibbs the NFLs highest-paid running back by annual value, narrowly surpassing Bijan Robinson and Jonathan Taylor.The projection is not confirmation that Detroit has offered those terms. It does provide another strong estimate of where negotiations may need to finish.The market has spoken.Keeping No. 0 will likely cost the Lions close to $23 million per year.
