Leandro Paredes has joined Zenit from Roma in a deal potentially worth up to €27million.

The 23-year-old midfielder, capped once by Argentina, has agreed a four-year contract with the Russian Premier League side.

Roma confirmed they have agreed a minimum fee for the sale of €23m, which could rise by up to €4m based on team and player performance bonuses.

Real Madrid still want Hermoso

According to a report from AS, Real Madrid are still said to be interested in signing Mario Hermoso. The 23 year old Spaniard is currently playing for Espanyol and has been since 2017 when he made the jump over from, you guessed it, Real Madrid B. Alas, as was the case during his first stint at the Bernabeu, Hermoso isn’t the first choice. Real are still prioritising the potential signing of Militao, and the renewal of their interest in Hermoso will depend entirely on whether or not they land their number one pick.

Real are said to have a buy back clause in Hermoso’s contract, which would allow them to pick him up for just £6.6 million. It sounds, and is, an extraordinarily cheap amount given the quality of the player, and it highlights the kind of dominance and influence …

Prediction: Real Salt Lake vs Orlando City

Best Odds: 2/3

Bookmaker:

In what could prove to be an enjoyable affair from America First Field in the early hours of Sunday, Real Salt Lake will welcome Orlando to town.

Real Salt Lake

Starting with the hosts, while Real Salt Lake might have failed to find much stability when opening the 2023 campaign, Pablo Mastroeni’s men have come roaring back in some style.

Mexican giant killers prominent

Queretaro completed their giant-killing act over Guadalajara in the first knockout round of the Mexico s Apertura championship.

Mexico s curse of the superleader hit favourites Guadalajara when they were upset 2-1 on aggregate on Saturday.

The team finishing top of the league table, supposedly an advantage since their qua…

Dragon Age: The Veilguard’s First Week Sales in Europe Were Lower Than Dragon’s Dogma 2 and Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth

Dragon Age: The Veilguard has divided opinion, as Dragon Age games tend to do, but how has it fared on the commercial side of things? Publisher EA has yet to provide any official tidbits about how the action RPG has sold so far, but as per European sales data provided by GSD, it seems to be tracking below other major releases in the genre this year so far.

That’s as per GamesIndustry’s Christopher Dring, who recently shared the aforementioned details on Twitter, stating that Dragon Age: The Veilguard was the seventh-highest selling game in Europe for the month of October. Reportedly, its first week sales in the region are 18 percent lower than what Dragon’s Dogma 2 managed upon its release earlier this year, an…

Manchester United great Rio Ferdinand to launch boxing career

Former Manchester United defender Rio Ferdinand has confirmed he is to launch a new career as a professional boxer.

The 38-year-old, who retired from football two years ago, is to compete in a series of fights over the next year with a view to earning a shot at a title belt.

Prediction: Aberdeen vs NSI Runavik

Best Odds: 20/21

Bookmaker:

Starting their Europa League qualifying campaign in midweek, Aberdeen will welcome Faroese outfit NSI Runavik to an empty Pittodrie Stadium on Thursday night.

Aberdeen

Starting with the hosts, while Aberdeen might have opened the new Premiership campaign with a close-fought 1-0 defeat against Rangers and a string of off-field issues, the Reds have managed to bounce back in much-needed fashion. Managing to hold onto their lead against Livingston last weekend and managing to leave Pittodrie with a 2-1 victory, Derek McInnes men have landed back-to-back top-flight contests and will just be desperate to carry that momentum onto Thursday s European showdown. Falling out of the Europa League qualifiers at the third round in five of the las…
