A surprising twist, Manchester United midfielder Casemiro has taken on a new role as a director and shareholder at Spanish side Marbella FC.
The Brazilian midfielder, aged 32, has invested in Marbella, a team competing in the Spanish fourth tier. His announcement reflects both honor and motivation to contribute to the club’s growth.
Despite uncertainty surrounding his future at Old Trafford, Casemiro’s move to Marbella has captured attention. Speculation links him to Saudi Arabian clubs, including Al Nassr, where his former teammate Cristiano Ronaldo currently plays.
Ronaldo personally approached Casemiro, urging him to consider joining the Saudi Pro League. Other clubs, such as Al Ahli and Al Qasidiya, are also vying for his signature.
Marbella FC’s ascent to Primera Division promises exciting possibilities, and Casemiro’s involvement adds intrigue to the football landscape. Stay tuned for more updates as this story unfolds!
Super Eagles defender Calvin Bassey has opened up about a difficult period in his career, revealing that he almost stepped away from football.
Speaking during a recent interview, Bassey shared that he once made a personal promise to himself to quit pursuing football professionally if he failed to secure a spot at a professional club.
“I remember being 15 and going into my final year, and I told myself that if I didn’t get into a professional club, I would quit football. It was that simple,” he said.
“I would just stop pursuing it seriously and only play for fun. Thank God I eventually got a club, because I honestly don’t know where I would be otherwise.”
It has been reported that the Confederation of African Football (CAF) fined Egypt $5,000 following their clash with Zimbabwe for failing to manage post-match media obligations.
It was noted that after the match, the Egyptian players ignored the media. This action was said to be a violation of CAF’s media regulations, which led to the fine being imposed.
Head of the Super Eagles, Eric Chelle, shared that the big-name players on the team are not happy about being benched.
He recalled when he took out Samuel Chukwueze during the match against Tanzania.
“Yes, of course, we’ve in this team a lot of big names. They are competitors; they aren’t happy when they go to the bench,” Chelle said at his post-match interview.”
“My job is to make choices, and we’re playing a 4-4-2 diamond, and at this moment I feel we have to protect the wing.”
