I am open to all possibilities going forward because I need to consider all factors – the reasonssport, family and everything in between – and what makes the most sense for me and my family. I still feel like I can play at a high level, but then I’ll have to make a decision when I know a little more.

Barca set price for Raphinha
TBR Football website said that Barcelona is ready to sell Raphinha in the summer transfer window of 2025 to any partner who puts 80 million pounds on the negotiating table.
The Brazilian star is being pursued by a series of English football giants such as Arsenal, Chelsea and Liverpool.
Arsenal, Liverpool and Chelsea are all looking for options to strengthen their attack, especially on the wings, so they are expected to spend big to get Raphinha's signature.
As for Raphinha, this player is said to be actively "probing the market" to pave the way for a farewell to Barcelona, as his agent has contacted Premier League teams to find a new destination for his client.
Raphinha was previously reported to have received an offer from the Saudi Pro League, but the 28-year-old has insisted he will not move to the Middle East until at least after the 2026 World Cup. This makes a return to the Premier League more realistic, if one of the big three clubs in the league is willing to pay.

Vietnam Team: Changzhou Hero, Bui Tien Dung Returns?
Coach Kim Sang-sik will most likely give Bui Tien Dung a chance to return to the Vietnam national team after what the "2018 Changzhou hero" is showing in the V-League.
Goalkeeper Bui Tien Dung is showing impressive signs of revival in the SHB.Da Nang club shirt this season. Thanks to that, from a name that was almost forgotten, the 28-year-old goalkeeper with excellent saves is the hope for the Han River team in the relegation race.
These performances are highly appreciated in the context that the Vietnamese team is lacking world-class goalkeepers.
On the other hand, the current goalkeepers under coach Kim Sang-sik such as Dinh Trieu and Filip Nguyen are all facing difficulties: some are injured, some are not in stable form. Or like Dang Van Lam - the former number one in the goal - who has not been called up recently.
Or the rest with many young goalkeepers still not brave enough to start in big matches so the door to return to the Vietnam national team for Bui Tien Dung is considered quite bright.
