This move demonstrates City's determination to challenge what it perceives as restrictive financial regulations.

In player movements, Manchester United is reported to be in the picture to sign a world-class star for just £25m, a deal that highlights the club's intention to strengthen their squad under the management of Erik ten Hag. Meanwhile, Aston Villa's manager Unai Emery has shared insights on Marcus Rashford's training after his unexpected move from Manchester United, suggesting Rashford is making a strong impression at his new club.

On the international scene, Cristiano Ronaldo continues to make headlines at Al-Nassr, this time by scoring in a 3-0 victory over Al-Fayha.
