Nottingham Forest are reportedly going all in for Manchester City’s versatile young star Rico Lewis. Determined to pull off one of the summer’s most audacious moves, Forest have promised the 20-year-old both a guaranteed starting role and a salary package that would double his current wages, as revealed by talkSPORT. Lewis himself is open to the switch, with Forest pushing to seal an agreement with City before their European campaign kicks into gear.

Initial talks between the clubs have already taken place, but Forest’s first formal proposal, reported at €25 million plus €5m in add-ons (around £25m/$34m total), was swiftly dismissed by the Premier League champions. Pep Guardiola’s side are said to value their academy graduate closer to €40m (£34m/$46m) and will not allow him to leave unless that figure is met, as reported by

Having featured in 48 matches last season, starting 37 across multiple competitions, Lewis has grown into a dependable option whether at right-back, left-back or shielding the defence in midfield. In the process, he also scored two goals and notched up five assists last term.

The move for Lewis is part of a wider transfer blitz at the City Ground. Already through the door are Dan Ndoye from Bologna, Brazilian duo Igor Jesus and Jair Cunha from Botafogo, and experienced goalkeeper Angus Gunn on a free. Deals are also in motion for Manchester City midfielder James McAtee in a £30m ($40.5m) package and a club-record £37.5m ($51m) swoop for Ipswich Town star Omari Hutchinson. They are additionally negotiating with Rennes striker Arnaud Kalimuendo, while winger Callum Hudson-Odoi is on the verge of penning a new contract.

Matching City’s €40m asking price would make him one of Forest’s most expensive signings in history, placing immediate pressure on Lewis. Nonetheless, the offer to double Lewis’ wages and tie him down to a central role speaks volumes about Nuno Espirito Santo's intent.

-É sempre boa a sensação de poder ajudar, fazer uma defesa e dar tranquilidade no momento em que a equipe não está tão bem no jogo, manter o placar zerado. Esse é o objetivo do goleiro. O Palmeiras é uma equipe que não deixa o adversário nos dominar, as equipes finalizam pouco contra nós, então é mais o cansaço mental de estar concentrado para pegar uma bola no jogo – destacou o goleiro antes de completar:
-Alguns jogos que vêm mais bolas são interessantes para o goleiro fazer mais defesas, fico feliz de poder ajudar.Traz confiança, mostra o nível de trabalho que fazemos aqui. Goleiros chegam primeiro, saem por último, estão sempre trabalhando muito para chegar ao jogo e transformar o treinamento em grandes defesas.

Former Newcastle United midfielder Chris Waddle has urged his old club to cut ties with Alexander Isak immediately, branding the striker’s drawn-out transfer drama a “shambles” that has humiliated the club. With Liverpool circling with a £150 million ($203m) bid, the saga has dominated Newcastle’s summer, leaving fans furious, executives scrambling, and the dressing room clouded with uncertainty.
Waddle slams Isak transfer sagaLiverpool ramp up £150m pursuitNewcastle eye Larsen as replacementFollow GOAL on WhatsApp! 🟢📱WHAT HAPPENED?
Liverpool are accelerating their pursuit of the Swedish forward with the transfer deadline days away. Newcastle have stood firm all summer, insisting their prized asset is worth every penny of the £150m valuation. But with time running out, pressure is mounting to either cash in or risk dragging the bad blood into the new season.
AdvertisementGetty Images SportWHAT WADDLE SAID
Waddle told: "If I were Newcastle, I would sell Alexander Isak this week. I know a lot of fans are urging the club to keep him to punish him, but we’re not talking about a player that is worth a couple million pounds. Isak’s transfer would be a nine-figure sum – an incredible amount of money; there’s too much money involved for him to sit in the reserves. If he does leave and Liverpool is his destination, I’d take the £100m plus add-ons and that would be the end of the chapter. The whole situation has been a shambles; it’s been handled like a pub team – it’s embarrassing. Whether it’s Isak himself or his agent, they’ve gone about it in completely the wrong way.”
THE BIGGER PICTURE
Whether Newcastle agree to sell could hinge on one crucial deal: the pursuit of Wolves striker Jorgen Strand Larsen. The 24-year-old Norwegian impressed last season, and Eddie Howe sees him as a potential successor. Newcastle have already lodged a £55m ($74m) bid, which was swiftly rejected by Wolves. If the Magpies can up their offer and seal the deal, the path for Isak’s departure could suddenly be cleared.

DID YOU KNOW?
Even if Newcastle pull off a deal for Larsen, Waddle is adamant: none of them can match Isak’s technical brilliance.
“Isak is going to be very hard to replace – he picks the ball up in deeper areas and can create a goal all by himself," he said. "No one available on the market is as technically adept as Isak; more often than not, they require service and the ball in the box to score. While Jorgen Strand Larsen and Nicolas Jackson have been linked as possible replacements, neither are on Isak’s level.
“I’m sure there are some hidden gems around the world in other continents like South America or Africa that could grow to become a similar player, but I don’t know of anyone in the Premier League who would be a realistic replacement.”

Reunião realizada entre as torcidas organizadas de São Paulo e Palmeiras com as policiais Civil e Militar nesta quinta-feira (9) decidiu alguns pontos de segurança para a realização da partida do Tricolor no Allianz Parque contra o Água Santa, pelas quartas de final do Campeonato Paulista, às 20h (de Brasília) de segunda-feira (13).
O LANCE! descobriu parte do plano elaborado pela PM para o entorno do estádio palmeirense diante da visita do rival tricolor. Por ser a primeira vez que a casa do Verdão terá outro time como mandante, algumas medidas serão inéditas.

Por conta própria, o Palmeiras já havia avisado o São Paulo que isolaria as entradas do clube social e de suas lojas oficiais na Rua Palestra Itália. Algo que o Tricolor já havia feito nas entradas do portão principal do Morumbi quando o Verdão utilizou o estádio, em fevereiro.
No restante, além de medidas habituais tomadas em jogos do Palmeiras, como o fechamento de acesso para quem não tem ingresso na Rua Palestra Itália, a PM vai dar atenção especial na esquina com a Rua Caraíbas, que será totalmente bloqueada para circulação.
O motivo é claro: é nesta via que estão as sedes das torcidas organizadas palmeirenses e a maioria de restaurantes e bares temáticos para torcedores.
Tapumes serão colocados no decorrer do domingo (12), isolando as entradas às lojas principalmente da Mancha Alviverde e Força Jovem, essa última organizada do Vasco, aliada dos palmeirenses e que também possui sede no local.
O movimento é idêntico ao feito quando o Palmeiras jogou no Morumbi, com a sede da Independente, em frente à entrada para as arquibancadas azul e laranja, isolada.
Houve ainda a recomendação que Mancha e outras facções alviverdes não tenham atividades no dia, como aconteceu com a Independente no jogo do Palmeiras no estádio são-paulino.
Comerciantes em frente ao Allianz estão sendo orientados a retirarem decorações alusivas ao Palmeiras e atenderem o público ‘na porta’. Ou seja, sem permitir a entrada dentro dos estabelecimentos.
De qualquer forma, o efetivo da PM nas intermediações da arena será reforçado em pontos estratégicos, como nas esquinas com as avenidas Sumaré e Pompeia, além dos acessos nos shoppings West Plaza e Bourbon, vizinhos à arena.
>Ceni goleiro e Muricy técnico: 28 anos depois, São Paulo volta como mandante em estádio do rival Palmeiras
ORGANIZADAS SÃO-PAULINAS SE PLANEJAM
Conforme o L! apurou, a PM vetou dois pedidos feitos pela Independente. O principal deles é que a organizada fosse a pé de sua sede no Largo do Paissandu, na região central, até a arena. Pelo horário, considerado de pico, ficou decidido que os integrantes deverão se encontrar no Terminal Barra Funda e seguir até o Allianz pela Avenida Francisco Matarazzo.
O segundo é a recepção ao ônibus da delegação tricolor, na mesma via. Algo tradicional no Morumbi, a festa na chegada do elenco em frente ao estádio são-paulino virou ato característico em jogos decisivos. Mas a PM ainda avalia o impacto e não deu o aval à Independente.
Há planos de fazer o chamado ‘corredor’, que ‘escoltaria’ o ônibus do CT da Barra Funda até o Allianz, algo que a torcida palmeirense faz com certa regularidade em jogos de grande apelo do Verdão. São menos de dois quilômetros do centro de treinamento são-paulino até a arena. A ideia contudo, de novo pelo fato de ser dia útil, ficou adiada para uma hipotética semifinal com mando do Tricolor.
Burocraticamente, a Independente ainda não sabe em que setor do Allianz ficará. Há resistência da Mancha para que ocupe o ‘gol norte’, onde ficam as organizadas palmeirenses. A situação atrasa o início da venda dos ingressos pelo São Paulo.

Legendary ex-Arsenal player Paul Merson expects Ruben Amorim to be "honest with himself" and step down if Manchester United fail to beat Burnley.
Merson sheds light on Amorim's future at UnitedPredicts the Red Devils will beat BurnleyBelieves the manager will resign if Man Utd loseFollow GOAL on WhatsApp! 🟢📱WHAT HAPPENED?
Former Arsenal and Aston Villa forward Merson expects United head coach Amorim to hand in his resignation if the Portuguese's men fail to beat Burnley in the Premier League on Saturday. The pundit also made a comparison with former manager Ten Hag while speaking about the state of the Red Devils, highlighting the Dutchman's penchant for picking up a few wins before a long streak of disappointing results, and claimed that could become the case under Amorim should he continue at Old Trafford.
AdvertisementGettyTHE BIGGER PICTURE
Amorim's job at the Theatre of Dreams has come under increased scrutiny following United's shock Carabao Cup exit thanks to a defeat against fourth-tier side Grismby Town on penalties earlier this week. Having taken over from Ten Hag midway in the 2024-25 season, Amorim could only guide the Red Devils to a 15th-place finish in the league.
Backed with an investment of over £200 million (€231m/$270m), which includes the arrivals of Matheus Cunha, Bryan Mbeumo and Benjamin Sesko, the notion was that United would spring back to life after a full pre-season under Amorim. Positive results over the summer generated excitement but it has been a less than ideal start to the season for the ex-Sporting CP boss. United are winless after their opening two league games and the defeat to Grismby only piled on to the misery.
Now, reports claim the United dressing room feels Amorim could resign as head coach in the near future, despite the higher-ups at the club apparently backing him. Merson, too, believes Amorim won't stick around and could depart if things don't go well against Burnley on Saturday.
WHAT MERSON SAID
Speaking on , Merson said: “I will be shocked if he’s still in charge if Man Utd don’t beat Burnley. But they will beat Burnley! It’s a nice game.
"Ten Hag had that as well: the three or four games without a win, and then second-bottom of the league came. They just won that game and then lost three or four games again. It’s just going to keep on covering the cracks. They will be called Pollyfilla United!
“I don’t think Amorim will be shy to go: I’ve had enough. I can’t do anything. I’ve done what I can. I don’t think he is one to put himself through pain to get his payoff. I don’t know the man, but coming across, I think he’s an honest man and will be honest with himself. But I think they will beat Burnley.”
