Graham Potter Says Losing Chelsea Job Was the Best Thing for His Career

West Ham manager Graham Potter has opened up about his time at Chelsea, admitting that getting sacked might have been a blessing in disguise.
Speaking ahead of West Ham’s Premier League clash with Chelsea on Monday, Potter reflected on his brief and turbulent spell at Stamford Bridge.
Looking back, the 49-year-old sees it as a valuable learning experience rather than a setback.
“In football, there are always ups and downs,” Potter said. “I didn’t want to lose my job, but now, when I reflect on it, maybe it was the best thing that could have happened to me.
Maybe the next 10 to 20 years will be even better because of what I went through. I’ve learned a lot from that time.”
Despite the disappointment, Potter insists he holds no grudges against Chelsea and still maintains strong relationships with many people at the club.

Messi Says He’s Ready for Club World Cup and Hopes to Help Inter Miami Shine

Lionel Messi says he’s heading into this year’s FIFA Club World Cup with a fresh perspective as he gears up to represent Inter Miami on the global stage. The Herons are set to begin their campaign at the Hard Rock Stadium against Egyptian side Al Ahly, in what will be the first-ever expanded 32-team edition of the tournament.
Messi, who has already won the Club World Cup three times with Barcelona, admitted that things feel different this time around. “It’s a special tournament and I’m excited to be part of it again,” he said. “But my mindset is different now compared to when I played it with other teams. Still, I feel energized and hopeful. I’m ready to compete against top teams and give my best.”
This will mark Messi’s fourth appearance at the Club World Cup, but his first with an MLS side, making it a milestone moment for both him and Inter Miami.

Galatasaray Ready to Pay Osimhen More Than Any Player in Turkey to Keep Him at the Club

Galatasaray are reportedly prepared to make Victor Osimhen the highest-paid player in Turkish football history if he chooses to remain with the club. The Nigerian striker had a sensational 2024/2025 season on loan in Istanbul, scoring 37 goals and delivering eight assists in just 41 games. His efforts helped Galatasaray clinch both the Turkish Super Lig title and the Turkish Cup.
While Osimhen has yet to confirm where he’ll play next season, Galatasaray are eager to keep him. In the meantime, they’ve added German winger Leroy Sane to their squad on a free transfer from Bayern Munich. Sane is expected to earn €12 million per season after tax, currently the highest salary in the Turkish league.
But Galatasaray are reportedly ready to go even further for Osimhen. The club is willing to offer him €15 million a year after tax—significantly more than what Sane will earn. Osimhen has already turned down a massive deal from Saudi side Al-Hilal, who were ready to pay him €40 million per year plus €5 million in bonuses, showing he’s weighing more than just money in his decision.

Diallo Says Dembélé Deserves the Ballon d’Or After Brilliant Season with PSG

Philippe Diallo, president of the French Football Federation, believes Ousmane Dembélé has done more than enough to earn this year’s Ballon d’Or. Dembélé has been in top form throughout the 2025 season, scoring 25 goals and playing a key part in Paris Saint-Germain’s historic trophy sweep. PSG ended the season with wins in Ligue 1, the Champions League, Coupe de France, and the Trophée des Champions.
In a chat with Le Figaro, Diallo said, “He might just be the favourite. Dembélé has had a remarkable season.” He added that it’s great to see two French stars—Dembélé and Kylian Mbappé—being serious contenders for the award, but made it clear Dembélé truly deserves the top prize.
