Sources told ESPN in September that the eight-time Ballon d'Or-winner was close to finalizing a new multiyear contract, with his current deal due to expire at the end of the year. Now, following the 38-year-old's strong end to the MLS regular season, Romano reports that the "final details" of the new contract are being sorted. Messi is "fully focused" on the Inter Miami project, having first joined the club in the summer of 2023 from Paris Saint-Germain.

The €43 million cable car project, which is being part-funded by the government as part of its plans for the city, will travel the 1km distance between the airport's terminal one and the neighbouring commune of Vitrolles in six minutes at a height of some 20m above ground, stopping along the way at the entrance to the Airbus Helicopters facility.

Marseille are interested in signing Dani Ceballos from Real Madrid in the January transfer window, according to Fichajes. The Ligue 1 club wanted to secure the services of the midfielder in the summer transfer window, but the Madrid star decided to stay put at the Santiago Bernabeu. That has not put off Marseille from trying again for Ceballos, with the French club set to make another attempt to convince the 29-year-old to make the switch.

Physical fights between teammates are nothing new in football. Newcastle's Lee Bowyer and Kieron Dyer were famously sent off for trading blows on the pitch in 2005, before issuing grovelling apologies after the game. John Hartson kicked his West Ham teammate Eyal Berkovic in the face during a training-ground bust-up in 1998, with the midfielder claiming: If my head had been a ball, it would have been in the top corner of the net. Robinho once took a pop at Thomas Gravesen during a Real Madrid training session in 2006. The Dane responded, and was sold that summer to Celtic.

Last seen heading into September's international break with a 1-0 loss at the hands of historic rivals Lyon, there has been some speculation that Roberto De Zerbi could face some mounting pressure on his position. Losing two of their first three Ligue 1 showdowns, the former Brighton boss is demanding an immediate response on Friday night. However, despite landing a frantic 5-2 win against Paris FC on August 23rd, Marseille have shown some major defensive struggles.

The goats have been part of the town for decades, but while 15 years ago there were only a couple of dozen, now their numbers have multiplied and there are "around 2,000", according to Chateauneuf-les-Martigues mayor Jean-Baptiste Saglietti. Although their origin is uncertain, it's widely believed that a pair of goats either escaped or were abandoned some decades ago, began a new life as feral animals and started to breed.

Igor Paixao has signed with Marseille for a fee starting at €30m, potentially reaching €35m, as part of the club's strategy to enhance their forward line.

Marseille is in talks with Juventus regarding the transfer of US forward Timothy Weah, who is eager for a move to a club where his father played.

I am very happy to have signed for such a big club... I think it will be a huge jump in quality in my career.

Marseille's interest in Nelson Semedo underscores Wolves' struggle to retain key players during a tough transfer window, raising potential concerns for their upcoming season.
