Como are reportedly exploring an ambitious move for Dani Carvajal as Cesc Fabregas prepares for the club’s first Champions League campaign. They are also tracking Real Madrid youngsters Gonzalo Garcia and Cesar Palacios while expecting Nico Paz interest.

Carvajal’s Real Madrid exit opens a route for Como to add elite experience, while Fabregas is leaning on Madrid links to strengthen quickly. The plan depends partly on Nico Paz’s future and the club’s European pull.

Manchester United have refinanced and increased their senior secured notes, taking out a further $125 million in long-term debt. The notes now stand at $550 million, carry a higher 5.36 percent rate and run until 2031.

The move raises annual interest payments by about £10 million and leaves United with total financial debt of £727 million. The borrowing remains tied to the Glazer leveraged buyout, while transfer debt also stands at £360 million.

Paris Saint-Germain have reportedly contacted West Ham over a possible double move for Mateus Fernandes and Crysencio Summerville. Luis Campos wants extra squad depth after West Ham’s relegation, with both players viewed as attainable summer targets.

PSG’s interest adds competition around Fernandes, who is also linked with Manchester United and Real Madrid. West Ham’s Championship drop may force sales, while Summerville’s pace and Fernandes’ midfield profile fit PSG’s wider recruitment plan.

Thousands of empty seats appeared visible during South Korea’s win over Czech Republic in Guadalajara, despite FIFA announcing nearly 45,000 attendance. The sight stood out after Gianni Infantino claimed demand for tickets had been unprecedented.

The match became an early test of FIFA’s pricing model outside Mexico’s sell-out home opener. Expensive lower-tier, sideline and hospitality tickets appeared to leave major gaps, sharpening criticism around affordability, travel costs and tournament access.

The result gives South Korea an early Group A boost after a slow first half in Guadalajara. Son Heung-min missed the best chances before the break, but the team responded strongly once Czech Republic went ahead.

Endo’s exit is a major blow just days before Japan face the Netherlands in Group F. His retirement ends a 73-cap international career and follows another injury setback after Kaoru Mitoma was already ruled out.
