While the Premier League's profit and sustainability (PSR) situation has turned into a kind of money-centred quagmire, clubs such as Everton deserve credit for successfully identifying loopholes and outwitting the constraints of financial limitations.
There have been understandable concerns at Goodison Park after breaching FFP rules in both the 2021/22 and 2022/23 campaigns, but Lewis Dobbin has been sold to Aston Villa for £9m, Dominic Calvert-Lewin had been closing in on a transfer to Newcastle United and Jarrd Branthwaite remains of a vested interest to Manchester United, transfer-listed in the bracket of £75m.
Sean Dyche will need to ensure compliance ahead of the June 30 deadline but this is looking decidedly more positive after recent movements in this transfer merry-go-round, with the Toffees waving goodbye to Dobbin, headed for Villa Park, but rolling out the carpet for Tim Iroegbunam in return, who has joined for £9m too, from Villa.
Cross-player transactions are rife in the Premier League deal zone right now, but one appears to have come undone, and Everton must now change track.
Everton forced to change track
Everton had thought themselves frontrunners for Newcastle United youngster Yankuba Minteh, with the player seemingly wanting to move to Goodison Park.
However, as per Sky Sports' Keith Downie, Newcastle have pulled out of contention to sign Dominic Calvert-Lewin, consequently knocking down the deal for Minteh.
Everton, however, have acted prudently. Jack Harrison has walked through the door for a successive loan spell while also fighting to sign Wilfried Gnonto, with the Whites losing the Championship play-off final.
According to Football Insider, it's believed that Everton are now readying an approach for the Italy international after failing to sign him with a series of bids last summer, the last of which totalling £26m.
Yankuba Minteh's 2023/24 season in numbers
Everton thought they were getting a top talent in Minteh. For now, that case is closed.
Last season, in the Dutch Eredivisie, Minteh scored ten goals and added six assists across only 17 starting appearances, as per Sofascore, creating nine big chances, completing 2.2 dribbles and winning 5.0 duels (per match average).
Harrison averaged 1.0 dribbles and 3.7 successful duels per game in the Premier League last term. Dwight McNeil? 0.9 dribbles and 3.7 duels.
At an early stage, the five-cap Gambia international (with two goals) is already laying the foundation for a complete style of play that would serve him very well indeed on Premier League soil. Sure, Odense's chief executive Steffen Nielsen has hailed his "magic" ability with the ball but the above-mentioned attributes also feature at the core of his playing style.

One keen-eyed scout has even noted that if it all clicks for the Gambian gem, "he can reach Sadio Mane level", such is his prowess down the right wing, emulating Liverpool's former Senegalese sensation.
The Newcastle youngster has gone from strength to strength since signing for his current club, and while missing out on him comes as a blow, Gnonto is a brilliant, Premier League-tested player and Everton would seal a bargain in bringing him to the club.
Why Everton could actually benefit from signing Gnonto
During the 2022/23 campaign, Leeds went down after a bitter, bitter season that just didn't come together, though there were a few bright sparks, with Gnonto underlining his name as one to watch, scoring four goals, adding four assists but impressing through his physicality and tenacity.
Since starring for Daniel Farke's side in the Championship, Gnonto might have failed to lift Elland Road back to the Premier League but he's continued to prove why he's such an attractive talent, clinching 12 goal contributions across the campaign despite spending the opening months on the fringe.
Indeed, only one goal and one assist arrived before the new year, speaking of his bouncebackability after languishing initially.
To emphasise how well he's done: Gnonto ranks among the top 6% of attacking midfielders and wingers across divisions similar to the Championship for goals scored, the top 10% for progressive carries and the top 18% for tackles per 90. He's the complete package, tailor-made for Premier League football.
Everton's industrious approach under Dyche last season led to a comfortable 15th-place finish that belied their eight-point deduction for breaching FFP rules. Everyone put in a shift, crushing the notion that the troubled Toffees were destined for the drop.
Gnonto's electric pace and sharp, natural-born ability to strike the back of the net suggest that he could be the perfect alternative signing to Minteh. Moreover, he's as versatile as they come, capable of performing across the frontline.
But there was an element of fizz that proved to be lacking. Gnonto might be the ideal fit, having been profiled last summer, hailed as an "absolute nightmare for defenders" by talent scout Jacek Kulig.
The stars looked to have aligned with Newcastle's Minteh turned toward Merseyside. While it looks unlikely that he will be plying his trade under Dyche's wing next year, Gnonto could prove to be every bit the solution and more.
What Everton's starting XI could look like after £85m+ spending spree
The Toffees will be looking to strengthen this summer despite the looming PSR threats.

انتقد هوجو أورلاندو، لاعب منتخب الأرجنتين السابق، مواطنه ليونيل ميسي، مشيرًا إلى أنه كان يتلقى صافرات استهجان عند بدايته مع فريق برشلونة.
ليونيل ميسي بطل العالم مع الأرجنتين في 2022، تلقى انتقادات من هوجو أورلاندو الذي كان يحرس مرمى بوكا جونيورز، والأرجنتين في مونديال 1966، مشيرًا إلى أن رونادلو أفضل منه.

وقال هوجو أورلاندو جاتي، في تصريحات لصحيفة “لا ناسيون” الأرجنتينية: “أنا لا أكره ميسي، لكنه لعب كرة قدم سهلة. رأيته في برشلونة وكان يتعرض لصافرات استهجان، وتألق بفضل الفريق الرائع الذي لعب معه”.
وأكمل: “لا أعتقد أنه سيصل في أفضل حال خلال مونديال 2026، قد يتواجد ولكن بمستوى أقل، لأنه يلعب كرة قدم ريفية في أمريكا مع إنتر ميامي”.
وأشار: “كريستيانو رونالدو أفضل من ميسي، هو لا يتمتع بكل ما تمتع به ميسي. لقد لعب لأندية أخرى وخاض تحديات لم يتمكن ميسي من خوضها. أين لعب ليو؟ في برشلونة والمنتخب الأرجنتيني فقط”.
واختتم: “لم يركلوه حتى في كأس العالم، لم يتعرض لأي مضايقات، حصل على البطولة بكل سهولة، كما قال ألفريدو دي ستيفانو. إذا سمحوا لك باللعب فإنك يمكنك اللعب كل يوم”.
وكان ألفريدو دي ستيفانو تحدث عن مارادونا وبيليه من قبل قائلًا: “لقد ركلوا مارداونا حتى الموت، ولم يضربوه فقط، لكنه كان يسقط وينهض مرة أخرى”.

Fim da passagem de Thiago Galhardo no Internacional. Negociado com o Celta de Vigo, o meia-atacante utilizou a rede social para se despedir da torcida Colorada.
+ Veja no aplicativo do LANCE! o resultado dos jogos da rodada
Em discurso carregado de emoção, o jogador relembrou grandes momentos no Beira-Rio e deixou claro que atingiu o auge da carreira com a camisa vermelha.
No Celta de Vigo, Thiago Galhardo vai reencontrar Eduardo Coudet, treinador que soube como poucos tirar o melhor do seu futebol.
Confira abaixo a postagem:
“Não tenho palavras para dimensionar o quão importante foi, é, e continuará sendo esse clube na minha carreira e na minha vida. Foi no Inter que eu atingi o meu ápice e onde e realizei meu grande sonho de menino, que era vestir a camisa da seleção brasileira. Graças a Deus, a todos meus companheiros, treinadores e profissionais com os quais estive ao lado, alcancei números e marcas expressivas, tendo a prazer de ter sido artilheiro do clube por uma temporada e meia, algo que me deixa orgulhoso, mediante todas as dificuldades que enfrentamos diariamente. Muita coisa foi falada nessas últimas semanas, mentiras e insinuações e boatos disseminados por pessoas que, não entendo o porquê, quiseram tentar manchar a linda história que construí ao longo da minha passagem pelo clube, mas preferi o silêncio, pois a verdade sempre aparece, não importa quanto tempo demore. Ninguém é perfeito, logicamente todos nós podemos cometer erros, e nem sempre vamos agradar a todos. Porém, sempre me dediquei, honrei com meus compromissos, nunca me omiti dentro e fora de campo e dei a cara a tapa inúmeras vezes para defender os interesses do Internacional. Por conta disso, deixo o clube com a consciência tranquila e com certeza de que dei o meu melhor em todos os sentidos. No final de tudo, saber disso é o que verdadeiramente importa para mim. Hoje estou partindo, mas ainda sigo sendo um ativo e atleta do clube, então espero um dia poder voltar com a mesma cabeça erguida e porta da frente pela qual estou saindo. Estarei de longe, mas seguirei na torcida por todos da instituição, que repito, está marcada para sempre no meu coração. Fiquem todos com Deus e muito obrigado mais uma vez por tudo!”

Se há três rodadas o sentimento na Ponte Preta era de que a “escapada” das proximidades da zona de rebaixamento na Série B parecia somente uma questão de tempo, os jogos contra Coritiba e Vasco, ambos fora de casa, trouxeram a equipe de volta para a briga no sentido negativo.

Apesar do importante triunfo no Moisés Lucarelli contra o Brusque, não pontuar nas duas rodadas em questão mantiveram a equipe de Campinas a somente um ponto do primeiro time dentro do Z4, o Londrina, que tem 21 unidades.
Neste momento, a Ponte tem 22 pontos e só ocupa a 15ª colocação por ter o número de gols marcados superior ao Vila Nova, 16º. Enquanto a Macaca fez 19 gols até o momento na competição, o time de Goiânia marcou 14 vezes.
Para piorar a situação, os problemas de atraso em relação aos direitos de imagem no clube atingiram um ponto crítico com três meses de débito junto a jogadores. Além disso, integrantes da comissão técnica chefiada por Gilson Kleina também estão com salários atrasados, fazendo o plantel manter um “voto de silêncio” em recentes oportunidades de entrevistas.
Tentando resolver seus problemas dentro e fora das quatro linhas, a Ponte Preta se prepara visando o próximo jogo na segundona onde receberá, em Campinas, o Sampaio Corrêa na próxima sexta-feira (3). A partida em questão está marcada para às 19h (de Brasília).

Liam Livingstone, the England and Lancashire batsman, will return to the Perth Scorchers for the BBL following the 2019-2020 season where he was the club’s leading scorer with 425 runs.Livingstone is the fourth English player confirmed for the season following Alex Hales’ return to the Sydney Thunder and the existing contracts held by Tom Banton (Brisbane Heat) and Tom Curran (Sydney Sixers).Internationally, Livingstone has yet to add to the two T20I caps he earned in 2017 but was part of England’s white-ball squads during the biosecure summer.In seven T20 Blast matches for Lancashire he scored 192 runs at 27.42 and the team’s best strike-rate of 156.09 while also picking up nine wickets before being hit for four sixes by Dan Christian in the semi-final against NottinghamshireIn last season’s BBL he formed a destructive opening pairing with Josh Inglis which included three of the 13 century stands produced in the competition.”It’s terrific that Liam has agreed to join us again for BBL 10, he made a great impression last season finishing as one of the competition’s leading run scorers,” Scorchers head coach Adam Voges said. “He fitted in very well with our group and along with his handy legspin and energetic fielding, he brings a wealth of talent to the team.”It is expected a number of other English players will join the BBL although there remains the possibility of a limited-overs tour to South Africa taking place next month which may impact early availability. Jonny Bairstow, Jason Roy and Dawid Malan are among those tipped to earn deals if available.
Leeds United are thought to be eyeing a £4m forward who is currently away with his national side at Euro 2024, according to a new report.
Red Bull buy minority stake in Leeds
The Whites and Daniel Farke are preparing for another season in the Championship after the playoff final heartbreak against Southampton at Wembley last month.
Since then, the main talking point at Elland Road has been on Leeds’ new partnership with Red Bull. The soft drink company has bought a minority stake in the club, with chairman Paraag Marathe saying:
“I am thrilled that Red Bull is joining us to build a bright future for Leeds United and shares our deep respect for this truly special club,” the chairman. As chairman, our consortium of investment partners will be invaluable to me as we approach this important moment for the club, now and into the future. Red Bull’s addition is a historic milestone that will further empower the club to reach its full competitive potential.”
Meanwhile, Red Bull’s chief executive of corporate projects and investments, Oliver Mintzlaff, said on the investment: “We are delighted to be an important element and partner of Leeds United. A club that is certainly one of the biggest in England and has a rich and successful history. The ambition to bring Leeds United back to the Premier League and establish themselves in the best football league in the world fits very well with Red Bull. We look forward to the partnership and are optimistic and energized about the future.”
Great news for Gray: Leeds eyeing up "unbelievable" first signing
The Whites reportedly have the talented young defender on their list of targets.

Red Bull, who are involved with RB Leipzig, RB Salzburg, New York Red Bulls, RB Bragantino and RB Brazil, will become Leeds’ front of shirt sponsor for the 2024/25 campaign, and by the looks of things, the Whites and the 49ers Enterprises are eyeing up one player from one of the aforementioned clubs.
Leeds eyeing Petar Ratkov move
According to GiveMeSport, one player at Euro 2024 who is on the radar at Leeds is Serbia’s Petar Ratkov. The forward signed for RB Salzburg in a £4m transfer just last year, with GMS saying that Leeds’ interest was there even before Red Bull's investment.
“Ratkov is contracted until 2028 and Salzburg's sister club RB Leipzig are watching his progress closely. A move within the group is more likely in the coming years than this summer.
“Rangers still hold an interest in Ratkov after missing out on him 12 months ago. Leeds are also tracking his progress, something that pre-dates Red Bull's strategic investment in the club.”
Ratkov is just 20 years of age but has already made more than 100 senior appearances at club level, the majority of which came with former side FX TSC in Serbia.
An out-and-out centre-forward, Ratkov has already played in the Champions League, so could be viewed as a potential long-term option when it comes to replacing Patrick Bamford, who missed the end of last season through injury.
Leeds’ new partnership with Red Bull could help in any potential transfer due to their links with Salzburg, so it could be one to keep an eye on over the coming months.
