Liverpool have reached an agreement with Paris Saint-Germain over the structure of a deal to sign France winger Bradley Barcola.
The 23-year-old is expected to sign a contract with Liverpool until 2031 after the Premier League champions agreed a package worth up to £123 million.
Liverpool will pay around £106 million up front, with a further £17 million available in add-ons.

The clubs still need to exchange documents, while Barcola is expected to undergo his medical this weekend before completing the move.
Barcola had been valued at around £145 million by PSG earlier in the summer, but Liverpool have now managed to agree a lower fee.
If completed, the transfer would make Barcola Liverpool’s second-most expensive signing, behind Alexander Isak, who joined from Newcastle for £125 million last summer.

His arrival could also open the door for Cody Gakpo to leave Anfield, with Tottenham and Manchester City reportedly interested in the Netherlands international.
Liverpool are also looking to sign another winger, with Crystal Palace’s Ismaila Sarr among their targets.
ROUND ROCK – Is Weiss’ offense even better than anticipated?
While a lot was expected of the star-studded Wolves, who seemingly have high-level college recruits at every skill position, they appeared in midseason form Friday as most UIL schools began the Texas high school football season.

Producing more than 500 yards of offense, which looks even better considering nearly all of that came in three quarters, Weiss topped Round Rock 42-28 in a highly entertaining game at Dragon Stadium.

And though more will be known after their next game against Lake Travis, the Wolves signaled that any preseason hype was certainly deserved.
Jaxon Schad threw for 306 yards and five touchdowns and added 87 yards and a score on the ground. Now a junior, Schad is not only bigger and faster, which he showed in breaking several tackles scrambling, but his accuracy and touch were nearly flawless as he completed 21 of 25 attempts.
“Pretty much everything was working tonight, honestly,” Schad said. “We had a good game plan coming in and a great script. We knew what was going to hit and we put it on the field and made it happen.”

Weiss arguably has one of the top wide receiver groups in the state, and Schad made good use of it. He connected with Jordan Ibn Anderson-El for three TDs and with Tre Moore and Dallas Schad – his older brother – for one.
“I say this in every interview, but it’s truly a blessing to throw to this group,” Jaxon Schad said. “I cannot thank God more or the staff more for this. It’s incredible. I can’t thank them enough. The amount of work they put in to be able to shine on these fields – it’s every day. So I love it.”
The Wolves’ receivers are also fortunate to have Jaxon Schad as a quarterback. He already has offers from several colleges, including Texas Tech, SMU and Houston, but Weiss coach Malcolm Hill noted he’s more than just talent.
“Jaxon Schad – he’s the ultimate competitor,” said Hill, who led the Wolves to a 10-3 record in his first year leading the program last fall. “He’s one of the best individuals and he’s a competitor that everyone believes in.”

Does Weiss have a breakout star in new running back?
It wasn’t just Jaxon Schad and the receivers who shone, though.
Making his first varsity start, sophomore running back Trae Collins had 27 carries for 137 yards.
“We call him ‘Baby bus,’” Hill said, possibly referring to former NFL running back Jerome Bettis, who was nicknamed “the bus.” “(Weiss’ starter) went down in the scrimmage last week, and Trae stepped up. His verticality and the way he gets lost behind the line is really good. He took a pounding today, but he kept his feet moving. He’s hard to hit, so you’ll be seeing a lot of him.”

Weiss wideout honors relative with performance
It was a special and emotional night for Anderson-El.
Playing for the first time since his grandfather passed away earlier in the summer, Anderson-El dedicated his performance of six catches for 70 yards and three touchdowns to him.
“My grandpa did a lot for me,” said Anderson-El, who noted his grandfather served in the Army. “He was an amazing person, and I did it for him today.”

Weiss hopes tough opponents pay off
Weiss, which is in Class 5A Division I, didn’t shy away from competition in its nondistrict schedule.
Round Rock and Lake Travis are two of the area’s top 6A programs and feature similar talent to what the Wolves will face if they make a deep playoff run.
Advertisement
The game was tied at 28-28 entering the fourth quarter before Weiss pulled away, offering Hill a chance to judge his team’s mettle.
Advertisement
“This is why you schedule Round Rock,” he said. “This is a good team. … We want to play playoff teams so we can have an assessment of who we are and where we can go. And so when the game gets tied up, I just need to see if our guys were going to flinch.”
Notable stats
Moore finished with eight catches for 133 yards.
Dallas Schad tallied four catches for 82 yards.
Round Rock quarterback Dov Stickler threw for 214 yards and two touchdowns.

Manchester United’s Champions League fixtures have been set with games against Bayern Munich and Atletico Madrid now arranged for the coming months as Michael Carrick looks for success

Manchester United’s Champions League fixture dates have now been confirmed. United’s European campaign will begin at home against Sabah on Thursday September 10.
Azerbaijan side Sabah overcame Hapoel Be’er Sheva to earn their place in Europe’s top competition and a trip to Old Trafford. Michael Carrick will hope that it is a comfortable return to European action for his team.
That fixture will be followed by a trip to Spain to face La Liga giants Atletico Madrid. That game does not arrive until October, when United’s campaign gains some momentum.
Six days later, Carrick will lead his team against Cesc Fabregas’ Como side. The Champions League newcomers are hopeful of hosting United at their Stadio Giuseppe Sinigaglia, amid rumours they would have to turn to Sassuolo’s ground to meet European requirements.
United will then welcome Roma to Old Trafford on November 8 before making a trip to Portugal to face Sporting CP three weeks later.
Either side of Christmas, the Reds will host German opposition at Old Trafford. First up is RB Leipzig before entering the business stage of the league phase, United welcome Bayern Munich and Harry Kane in their penultimate match, when they will be looking to secure their progression to the next stage.
Another trip to Spain follows with Villarreal awaiting in United’s second European match in January. Will they have qualification tied up at the point? It will be a tough task.

The Friedkin Group, Everton‘s American owners, will be risking the fury of their own fanbase should they agree to the sale of Harrison Armstrong to Nottingham Forest.
The notion that Everton could even consider parting with Armstrong sparked an instant reaction of disbelief and anger among supporters, with the teenager regarded as their brightest home-grown prospect for years and a big hope for the future.
As yet, there are no indications that Everton will accept an offer, but Forest’s interest is real, although it would be a real coup should they pull it off.
It would also send out worrying signals about the scale of TFG’s ambitions.
Advertisement
Manager David Moyes has been frustrated by the club’s lack of incoming transfer activity this summer.
Moyes made it abundantly clear after Wednesday’s 4-0 Carabao Cup second-round win at Championship side Preston that he wanted reinforcements.
His hope was that TFG would provide backing for further arrivals.
Since then, however, Everton‘s main creator Iliman Ndiaye has been heavily linked with Manchester City, and now Forest are ready to test their resolve over Armstrong.
Advertisement
How Moyes would view, or indeed explain, such a sale, would be intriguing. It would appear totally at odds with his stated intention of building a better squad.
And while Everton and their support may have to accept their prize assets being spirited away by clubs such as Manchester City, the idea that their most promising young player could be taken away by Nottingham Forest – a club they would be expecting to challenge or even surpass – may be harder to stomach.
That is why the manner in which Everton handle Forest’s approach for Armstrong, who has already excelled this season, may be a defining moment for TFG and Moyes.
Jimmysstar is set to grace Melbourne with one of his infrequent visits as he commences his spring campaign in the Group 1 Memsie Stakes at Caulfield.
The Ciaron Maher-trained galloper has been a lucrative asset for the stable, amassing over $8.8 million in prize money from 11 wins and nine placings in 28 career starts.
Originally from New Zealand, Jimmysstar made his way to the Maher stable after only three starts, where he immediately demonstrated his talent at Bendigo and Cranbourne.
Following two further outings, Jimmysstar commenced his travels along Australia’s eastern seaboard, competing in Newcastle, Eagle Farm, and Scone.
Advertisement
During the 2024 Spring Carnival, Jimmysstar raced exclusively in Melbourne, and his 2025 autumn campaign also began in the city before he resumed travelling, ultimately clinching victory in the Group 1 All-Aged Stakes at Randwick.
The gelding contested three Sydney races last spring before returning to Melbourne to capture the C F Orr Stakes. His autumn resumed at Caulfield with an unplaced performance in the William Reid Stakes, after which he travelled north to Sydney and then Brisbane for four additional races.
Jimmysstar has conducted the bulk of his preparation in Sydney, including a course proper gallop at Warwick Farm on Monday, in readiness for his Saturday return in the Memsie Stakes (1400m).
Maher conveyed his deep satisfaction with ‘Jimmys’ preparation, noting that the seven-year-old has exhibited renewed vigour.
Advertisement
“His two jump-outs have been very sharp this prep and I’m just rapt with the way he’s come up,” Maher said.
“You could say his runs in the autumn were not right up to his best, but he seems to have come back really well and seems in a good spot.
“I’m really looking forward to kicking off in the Memsie. The 1400 (metres) is arguably his best trip at the moment and Caulfield, he’s got a great record as well.
“He’s raced the best plenty of times. He was very good against Ka Ying Rising over six (furlongs, 1200m) and you would think he’s better over seven (1400m).
Advertisement
“He’s got a good base and has come up well and I’m sure he will make his presence felt.”
Maher indicated that numerous options lie ahead for Jimmysstar after Saturday’s race, including a potential return to Sydney for The Everest.
Last year, Jimmysstar finished third behind Ka Ying Rising and Tempted after encountering traffic issues, before going on to win the Russell Balding Stakes (1300m) and the C F Orr.
“He ran huge in The Everest from the wide gate,” Maher said.
Advertisement
“He did plenty of work and it was a very good run at the six (furlongs).
“It’s a path that has been done before by I Wish I Win. He ran in the Memsie and then went back to an Everest and was very good.
“He could also go out to a mile as well. We’ll see how he goes on Saturday, but it’s good to have options.”
Consider checking out the betting markets for the race if you’re looking to get involved with the Memsie Stakes.

Owner John Messara and trainer Chris Waller revealed on Friday that Autumn Glow’s main spring carnival aim has been locked in, ending months of speculation.
Autumn Glow, who was honoured as Australian Horse of the Year at the Racing Night of Champions ceremony in Sydney on Thursday night, had attracted considerable interest from slot-holders for the Group 1 $20 million The Everest (1200m) at Royal Randwick on October 17.
However, the Group 1 $5 million King Charles III Stakes, run over the famous Royal Randwick mile (1600m) course where Autumn Glow has performed so effectively, takes place on the same day.
After a meeting on Thursday involving Messara, Waller, and jockey James McDonald, the consensus was that the King Charles III Stakes is the most appropriate race for Autumn Glow.

Messara commented to Racing And Sports that the prospect of challenging Hong Kong’s world champion sprinter Ka Ying Rising in The Everest was “very tempting”.
“We looked closely at The Everest and there was a part of me that wanted to try and beat Ka Ying Rising,” Messara said.
“But the reality is Ka Ying Rising is as good as any sprinter I’ve ever seen and 1200m is his best distance.
“We all feel Autumn Glow is at her best between 1400m and 1600m so it was agreed we should go for the King Charles.”
Advertisement
Autumn Glow is the commanding $1.60 TAB Fixed Odds favourite for the King Charles, with Sheza Alibi at $2.80, followed by the two-time defending champion Ceolwulf at $8, level with Pride Of Jenni.
The mare is expected to have her lead-up run into the King Charles in the Group 2 $1 million 7 Stakes (1600m) at Royal Randwick on September 19.
Messara also conveyed his interest in racing Autumn Glow at Flemington during the Melbourne Cup Carnival, with either the Champions Sprint (1200m) or the Champions Mile (1600m) on November 7 being potential options.
If Autumn Glow is freshened for the sprint, it would present the mare with an opportunity to race down the Flemington straight course, potentially in preparation for a Royal Ascot campaign next June.
Advertisement
With Autumn Glow’s withdrawal from The Everest, betting markets are expected to see adjustments. Ka Ying Rising, the strong $1.50 favourite to win back-to-back renewals of the world’s richest turf race, is likely to firm in the betting.
Autumn Glow had been the second favourite for The Everest at $5, with Tempted at $9.
The Everest is less than two months away, yet remarkably, not a single starter has been officially confirmed.
Ka Ying Rising, who trialled exceptionally well last week, is expected to be selected for the Hong Kong Jockey Club slot, although official confirmation is still pending.

Liverpool’s alarming weakness is clear and signing a new winger won’t solve it
The Reds drew 2-2 at Newcastle on Sunday, but Andoni Iraola is struggling for midfield balance, with Ryan Gravenberch’s role uncertain after a mixed performance at St James’ Park. Richard Jolly broke down their Premier League opener:

Liverpool team news
Andoni Iraola marks his first game at Anfield by making two changes. Victor Munoz gets his full debut on the right wing, with Rio Ngumoha dropping out, while Alexis Mac Allister starts in midfield.
As Ryan Gravenberch lost the ball for both Newcastle goals on Sunday, and was caught too far upfield for both, his omission is interesting.
Both Nottingham Forest and Oliver Glasner won at Anfield last season so a Glasner-managed Forest could be dangerous opponents.
Liverpool drew 2-2 with Newcastle in their opener, having to come from behind as their defensive frailties were again exposed.
Nottingham Forest meanwhile lost 1-0 to Leeds in their Premier League opener at home before another 2-0 home defeat in the Carabao Cup.

France’s Cassandre Beaugrand earned her fourth straight win in the World Triathlon Championship Series as Britain’s Beth Potter came second in Weihai.
Olympic champion Beaugrand surged away in the final kilometre of the 10km run to finish in one minute 49.20 seconds and maintain her perfect record in this season’s Championship Series.
Beaugrand’s victory in China followed a thrilling tussle up until the final stretch, as Olympic bronze medalist Potter finished six seconds behind the 29-year-old.
Germany’s Lisa Tertsch was third, a further 18 seconds back.

“This one was definitely not easy,” said Beaugrand.
“I was feeling great on the swim, great on the bike. The run was quite hard with Beth pushing the pace. I just tried my best to keep up and trust my finish.”
Beaugrand exited the two-lap 1500m swim in third behind Britain’s Tilly Anema and Brazil’s Vittoria Lopez.
After a close bike section, where a pack of more than 30 cyclists merged together at the front, Beaugrand, Potter and Tertsch started to break away on foot.

On the final lap as Tertsch started to fade away, Potter fought valiantly but she could not keep in touch with Beaugrand’s searing pace.
Beaugrand’s victory means she has overtaken Potter, despite competing in fewer races this year, to go top of the World Triathlon Championship Series standings.
The men’s race was won by Switzerland’s Max Studer, who finished in 1:41:08.
