Dutch international leaves Manchester City after just one year, sold to Saudi Arabia
Nizozemski nogometni reprezentativac Tijjani Reijnders napustio je Manchester City nakon jedne sezone, a bio je prodan sajdu Arapskoj Saudskoj Arabiji. Transfer je završen uz povećanje od 61 milijuna eura, što je više nego što je Manchester City dobio kada je Reijnders kupio iz Milana za 55 milijuna eura. Reijnders nije ostvario očekivane rezultate u Cityju, gde je u sezoni imao 50 nastupa, 7 pogodka i 8 asistencije, što je manje nego u prošljih godinu dana u Italiji, gdje je postigao 15 pogodaka. Reijnders je također bio deo nizozemskog tima na prošlom Svjetskom prvenstvu, s ukupno 35 nastupa i 7 pogodaka za domaćinstvo.
A Dutch international has left Manchester City after just one season, joining a Saudi Arabian club in a deal worth €61 million. Tijjani Reijnders, who moved to the Premier League side from AC Milan last summer for €55 million, will now play for Al Qadsiah following a verbal agreement reached with the Saudi club. The transfer was confirmed by Fabrizio Romano, a well-known football journalist, who stated that all parties had reached a mutual understanding. Manchester City is set to receive €61 million from the transaction, which is expected to be finalized soon. Reijnders, who did not attend training sessions as he awaits his flight to Saudi Arabia, is anticipated to be officially introduced as a new player shortly. Reijnders' performance at Manchester City was below expectations compared to his previous season in Italy. During his time with the English champions, he made 50 appearances, scoring seven goals and providing eight assists. This represents a decline from his previous campaign with AC Milan, where he scored 15 goals across all competitions. Despite being part of the Netherlands squad during the World Cup, Reijnders struggled to make a significant impact at City, contributing fewer goals than anticipated. In another major transfer move, Argentine goalkeeper Geronimo Rulli has signed a two-year contract with Manchester City. This marks his return to the club where Croatian internationals Josko Gvardiol and Mateo Kovačić currently play. Rulli previously joined the club in the 2016/17 season but failed to make a single appearance for the first team. Now, he is brought in as a replacement for Italian keeper Gianluigi Donnarumma, following James Trafford's departure to Leeds United. Rulli, who has played for several European clubs including Real Sociedad, Montpellier, Villarreal, and Ajax, expressed his excitement about joining Manchester City, stating that he could not miss the opportunity when the club called. Meanwhile, Monaco has terminated its contract with French midfielder Paul Pogba, leaving him without a club once again. Pogba, who was a world champion with France in 2018, has faced numerous challenges over the past few years, including suspensions due to doping violations and multiple injuries. After signing with Monaco in an attempt to revive his career, Pogba failed to secure consistent playing time. His recent injury served as the catalyst for the termination of his contract, leaving his future uncertain once more. In a separate development, Serbian forward Dušan Vlahović is close to finalizing a transfer to Beşiktaş. According to Fabrizio Romano, the Turkish club has sent a final offer to Vlahović and his representatives, aiming to conclude the deal within the next few hours. Vlahović, who became a free agent after his contract with Juventus expired on June 30, is expected to sign a three-year deal with Beşiktaş. He would earn around €8 million per season, potentially reaching €10 million with bonuses. Vlahović, who joined Juventus from Fiorentina in January 2022 for €70 million plus bonuses, was the highest-paid player in Serie A last season, earning approximately €12 million annually. Additionally, Nottingham Forest has officially signed Ousmane Diomande from Sporting CP for around €40 million. The 22-year-old international from Guinea-Bissau has signed a four-year contract with an option to extend for another year. Diomande, who made 132 appearances for Sporting and won two consecutive Portuguese league titles, is expected to bring fresh energy to Forest. Manchester City is also reportedly close to acquiring Ayoub Bouaddi from Lille. The 18-year-old French midfielder has already agreed to personal terms, and the deal is estimated to be worth around €100 million. According to ESPN, negotiations between the clubs are progressing rapidly, with Bouaddi likely to serve as a replacement for Rodri. Barcelona is increasingly confident about securing Rodri from Manchester City. However, the English club has rejected earlier offers and is believed to be seeking around €70 million for the Spanish captain. Rodri, whose contract is entering its final year, is eager to return to Spain and join Barcelona. Lastly, Paris Saint-Germain has completed the acquisition of Japanese goalkeeper Zion Suzuki from Parma for €35 million. While the transfer is finalized, PSG is considering loaning Suzuki to Juventus to ensure regular playing time. This arrangement is still under discussion, with a decision expected soon.

Niko Garić, 22-godišnjak koji je ove godine stigao na Krim kako bi popunio praznine u veznom redu Crvenih, nije uspio se nametnuti treneru Bašiću. Zbog toga je Orijent odlučio omogućiti mu da traži novu sredinu tokom završnice prijelaznog roka. Klub je izjavio da će pokušati pronaći novo rješenje na toj poziciji kako bi zatvori roster za nadolazeću sezonu.

Why factuality (75): The article reports on Niko Garić’s situation at Orijent, stating he arrived this summer from Crimea to fill gaps in the midfield but failed to impress coach Bašić.

Why objectivity (65): The tone is somewhat sympathetic to Garić’s situation, using phrases like 'nije se uspio nametnuti treneru Bašiću' (failed to impress the coach), which may imply a negative assessment of his performance.

Argentinski vratar Geronimo Rulli potpisao je dvogodišnji ugovor s Manchester Cityjem, koji je trenutno engleski doprvak. Ovo je povratak u klub gdje igraju hrvatski reprezentativci Joško Gvardiol i Mateo Kovačić, jer je Rulli bio član kluba u sezoni 2016./17, ali nije igrao u prvoj momčadi tada. Manchester City ga dovodi kao zamjenu za talijanskog vratara Gigija Donnarumma, nakon što je James Trafford otišao u Leeds. Rulli dolazi iz Marseillea, a tokom karijere je bio član više europskih klubova. On je izrazio sreću da je dobio priliku s Manchester Cityjem.
