Former Real Madrid midfielder Guti has taken aim at Barcelona’s rising star, Lamine Yamal, criticizing his outfit choice during a recent Spain national team press conference. The 17-year-old showed up with his hat worn backwards, a look Guti felt was inappropriate for such a professional setting.

Speaking on El Chiringuito TV, Guti said, “I didn’t like seeing Yamal at a press conference with his cap turned backwards. That’s something you do on vacation or in your personal life—not when representing your club or country.” He added that the blame shouldn’t fall on Yamal alone but on those around him who failed to correct the gesture. “It’s not his fault. The people around him should’ve said ‘no way’. He just did what he wanted.”

Yamal has had a solid run with Spain, scoring three goals in seven appearances and helping them reach the UEFA Nations League final. Though Spain lost to Portugal on penalties after a 2-2 draw, the young winger played a key role throughout the tournament. He also played a major part in Barcelona’s successful season, where the club secured the LaLiga title, Copa del Rey, and the Supercopa de España. However, in the final against Portugal, he struggled to make an impact as Nuno Mendes kept him in check.

Nottingham Forest have triggered the one-year extension in Ola Aina’s deal, keeping the Nigerian defender at the City Ground until the end of the 2025/26 season. Following a standout 2024/25 campaign, the club is also looking to offer him a longer-term contract.

Aina found the net twice and provided one assist in 35 league matches last season, earning praise for his consistency and work rate. He joined Forest on a free transfer in 2023 after parting ways with Italian side Torino and has since made 57 league appearances for the Reds.

Ivan Juric, Atalanta’s newly appointed manager, has made it clear he wants Ademola Lookman to remain at the club despite growing transfer rumors. The Nigerian winger has attracted interest from top Serie A sides like Napoli and Juventus, as well as Premier League club Arsenal, following his impressive 22-goal campaign last season.

Juric, who previously coached at Torino and Hellas Verona, emphasized his desire to retain Lookman and midfielder Ederson, though he acknowledged that the club’s transfer strategy will ultimately decide their futures. “Ideally, we keep both Lookman and Ederson, but the club has its own plans in the market,” Juric told reporters. “I haven’t made any specific requests—I’m working with the players I have.”

Lookman has just one year left on his contract, adding urgency to Atalanta’s decision. After a breakout season with 22 goals and five assists, his future remains one of the summer’s biggest talking points in Italian football.
