Nigeria, Ghana, Jamaica and Trinidad Set for Unity Cup Match in London
Nigeria, Ghana, Jamaica, and Trinidad and Tobago are set to compete in the Unity Cup, an invitational tournament taking place in London this May.
Jamaica’s Reggae Boys will go head-to-head with Trinidad and Tobago’s Soca Warriors in the first semi-final on Tuesday, May 27. The following day, Wednesday, May 28, will see West African giants Nigeria and Ghana battle it out in the second semi-final.
The tournament will wrap up on Saturday, May 31, with the third-place match and the highly anticipated final, where the champions will claim the Unity Cup 2025.
In addition to the tournament, Nigeria has a friendly lined up against Russia in June as part of their preparations for the 2026 FIFA World Cup qualifiers. The Super Eagles will be gearing up for crucial clashes against Rwanda and South Africa in September.
Turkish transfer expert Süleyman Rodop has confirmed that Galatasaray will no longer pursue Victor Osimhen following Napoli’s tough demands. Napoli reportedly asked for €40 million upfront and another €35 million by 2026, along with a sell-on clause, after Galatasaray submitted their fourth offer for the Nigerian striker.
Speaking to Turkish outlet habersarikirmizi, Rodop stated that the Turkish club won’t go beyond their final bid. He explained that although Osimhen’s current deal runs out next year, Napoli still hold the option to extend it by another season. Rodop praised Osimhen for his professionalism, saying he handled the situation admirably.
However, Galatasaray have decided to walk away, believing Napoli are dragging the deal unnecessarily. “The latest offer stands, and it won’t change,” Rodop said. “Napoli’s president is just playing games now.” Osimhen is said to be eager to return to Galatasaray permanently, after impressing on loan last season.
New Al-Nassr manager Jorge Jesus has made it clear that Cristiano Ronaldo played a major role in his decision to join the club. During his first remarks after taking the job, Jesus admitted that without Ronaldo, he likely wouldn’t have accepted the offer.
The Portuguese coach, who takes over from Stefano Pioli following a disappointing season, said he’s eager to help both the club and its captain win silverware. “Cristiano hasn’t won much here yet,” Jesus said. “I want to help change that. We speak the same language, so working together will be smooth.”
Napoli seem to be raising the bar as talks continue over Victor Osimhen’s potential move this summer. The Nigerian striker is eager to make a permanent switch to Galatasaray after a loan spell in Istanbul, but the Turkish club has already had multiple bids turned down.
On Monday, another offer was reportedly rejected, with Napoli now demanding €40 million upfront, another €35 million by 2026, and a sell-on clause. Galatasaray isn’t backing down just yet, but they’re holding firm on their terms, they want to complete the deal for €35 million by 2027 and are not open to including a sell-on clause.
