Man City set selling price for Julian Alvarez, close negotiations next week

Julian Alvarez's future at the Etihad will be clearer next week following a meeting between his representatives and the Premier League champions, transfer expert Fabrizio Romano says.

This person also added that Man City can let Julian Alvarez leave, if he wants to, but only for a certain fee that they value.

And the figure Man City have stuck to, according to Athletic, is a £70m upfront payment, plus another £20m in add-ons for Julian Alvarez.

PSG and Atletico Madrid have been linked with City since June. Arsenal are also in the race, but Mikel Arteta's side will need to offload a few players before they can move forward.

According to various sources, Man City's priority is to keep Julian Alvarez, who won the treble with them in the 2023 season. But if the striker chooses to leave, they will still let him have his way.

Philippines rewards athlete who won historic Olympic Gold Medal

After 8 days of official competition, the Paris Olympics witnessed the first Southeast Asian athlete win a Gold Medal.

That great honor went to Carlos Yulo of the Philippines in the men's gymnastics freestyle.

“I don’t know what to say,” said the 24-year-old athlete who failed at the 2020 Tokyo Olympics but made history at the 2024 Paris Olympics. “I am so happy and I dedicate this to the Filipino people,” Yulo added.

This is also Southeast Asia's first Olympic medal in gymnastics - one of the 9 oldest sports, having been present since the first Olympics in 1896 in Greece.

Carlos Yulo also became the second Philippine athlete to win an Olympic Gold Medal - after weightlifter Hidilyn Diaz in the women's 55kg category at the 2020 Tokyo Olympics.

With this historic Gold Medal, Carlos Yulo will be rewarded by the Philippines with a luxurious 2-bedroom apartment in Taguig City as well as a generous cash prize.

"For me, the reward is secondary. Bringing glory to the Fatherland is the important thing," he said.

Shooter Thu Vinh burst into tears and apologized to fans nationwide.

Shooter Trinh Thu Vinh burst into tears while talking to VNA reporters at the Chateauroux shooting range after the final of the women's 25m pistol event at the 2024 Paris Olympics ended with an unexpected result.

The female shooter explained that she called her parents right after finishing the exam and at that time she cried because of regret and sadness, so when she heard the reporter's question, she couldn't hold back her tears.

Thu Vinh knew very well what was expected of her in the two final events that she participated in at the Olympics for the first time in her life, so when she could not win a medal in both of these final series, Thu Vinh felt both sad and extremely guilty.

Through a VNA reporter, Thu Vinh sent an apology to fans nationwide.

However, there will certainly be no blame for Thu Vinh, because at the age of 24 and participating in her first Olympics, winning the right to be present in the final round of both events at the Olympics is a very proud achievement.

Thu Vinh is still full of determination as she looks forward to the road ahead. She confided: “I don’t think that being able to participate in two finals at my first Olympics is a commendable achievement for me personally, because if I thought like that, if I was satisfied with my results, I wouldn’t be able to progress any further.”

Huynh Nhu was invited to the number 1 club in Vietnam

Since the end of her contract with Lank FC, Huynh Nhu has been taking time to rest and has not made a decision about her future. Many teams from within and outside the country have been making offers to this striker.

Recently, Coach Kim Chi herself confirmed that Ho Chi Minh City Club I is contacting Huynh Nhu to invite her to compete in the upcoming AFC Champions League.

"The AFC Champions League will certainly bring many difficulties to the team. We are also contacting to invite Huynh Nhu to return to the team. With Huynh Nhu's extensive experience, it will also help the team compete more confidently. Personally, I am also asking for a training trip abroad so that the players, especially the young players, can have quality matches," Coach Kim Chi shared.

In addition to Ho Chi Minh City I Club, Thai Nguyen T&T Club is said to have made many very attractive offers to Huynh Nhu. In the past, Huynh Nhu was associated with Ho Chi Minh City I Club from 2007 to 2022, she played 152 matches and contributed 102 goals.

The AFC Champions League Women's Group Stage will take place from October 6 to October 12. Twelve teams in three groups will compete to select the top two teams in each group and the two third-placed teams with the best results to advance to the quarter-finals. Coach Doan Thi Kim Chi and her team will face three opponents: Urawa Red Diamonds Ladies from Japan and Taichung Blue Whale Women from Taiwan. The remaining team will be determined after the qualifying round ends. Before that, the qualifying round will take place from August 25 to August 31./.
