Jones leads recovery from 69 for 6, after Worrall and Topley take command for hosts

Dom Sibley produced the key innings as Surrey reached Finals Day•Getty Images

Surrey 164 for 5 (Sibley 67, Curran 52) beat Durham 162 for 8 (Jones 37, Worrall 2-14) by five wicketsDominic Sibley and Sam Curran shared a stand of 95 in 63 balls as Surrey romped to Vitality Blast final’s day with a five-wicket win over Durham at the Kia Oval.Former England opener Sibley plundered 67 in 48 balls (two sixes and six fours) while Curran, who made a hundred earlier in the competition, hit 52 in 34 balls, including four sixes as the hosts chased down a target of 163 with 12 balls to spare.The fact they needed so many was credit to the visitors who fought back from 69 for 6 thanks to 37 from Michael Jones, 24 in 15 from Bas De Leede and a gem of a cameo from Ben Raine (23 from 8) to post 162 for 8. Dan Worrall (2 for 14) and Reece Topley (2 for 20) wreaked havoc in the powerplay for Surrey.Thanks to Worrall and Topley, Surrey dominated early on. Durham’s leading scorer in the competition, Graham Clark, spooned the fifth ball from Worrall to Jordan at extra cover and Ollie Robinson chewed up 11 balls swinging and missing before being bowled by Topley.Worrall cleaned up Alex Lees with a brute of a yorker and although Brydon Carse struck his first ball over the ropes, he left soon afterwards edging Topley to wicketkeeper Burns.Colin Ackerman was run out by a brilliant direct hit from Sam Curran and when Ashton Turner’s brief counterattack (26 from 21) was ended by Sibley’s catch at deep square Durham were 69 for 6 in the 13th over.Scottish international Jones hit back, clubbing Jordan over extra for six. De Leede, who survived a bungled run-out attempt by Burns, followed suit as the pair raised a 50-stand in 30 balls before Sam Curran bowled De Leede off his pads.Jones though kept swinging and Raine (23 from 8), twice cleared the ropes in the final over bowled by Jordan to take the visitors to 162.Buoyed by taking 92 from the last seven, Durham began well in the field, Carse striking twice in five balls to remove first the dangerous Will Jacks and then Laurie Evans caught at slip.Two men who not so long ago were opening for England, Rory Burns and Sibley were trusted with steadying the ship and the latter defied his reputation as something of a plodder with four boundaries in the powerplay.The introduction of spin for the first time on the night in the shape of Callum Parkinson was the undoing of Burns, who hoisted him to safe hands in the deep.Sam Curran joined Sibley as the run-rate rose, 30 balls ticking by without a boundary before the former broke the shackles with a huge six off Nathan Sowter. Parkinson was similarly dispatched.De Leede spurned the chance to take the England all-rounder’s scalp when he dropped a tough caught and bowled with Curran on 31 and with that the hosts assumed complete command.Sibley went to 50 with a glorious six over mid-on before Curran struck a delivery from Sowter almost clean out of The Oval.Only 15 were needed when Sibley fell and though Curran too left before the end, Surrey got home comfortably.

Manchester United have a huge summer ahead of them to try and transform their fortunes on the pitch next season and subsequently avoid a repeat of this campaign.

The Red Devils finished in a measly 15th place in the Premier League, with Ruben Amorim unable to transform their fortunes after taking the reins in November following Erik ten Hag’s dismissal.

However, it appears as though the 40-year-old will have some serious money to spend throughout the summer in a bid to improve the current players at his disposal.

He’s already splashed over £60m to complete the signing of Brazilian international Matheus Cunha, with a deal also heading in the right direction for Brentford’s Bryan Mbeumo.

It’s likely that the summer activity won’t end there, which could lead to various big-money additions making the switch to Old Trafford ahead of the 2025/26 campaign, under the watchful eye of sporting director, Jason Wilcox.

The latest on United’s hunt for new additions

Warren Zaire-Emery is one of the latest names on their radar this window, with the Red Devils entering talks with PSG over an £85m move for the teenage midfielder.

He’s not the only name mentioned in recent days, as West Ham United star Mohammed Kudus has been of interest after an enquiry was made for the 24-year-old’s signature.

However, another new name has entered the mix over the last few hours, with Newcastle United talisman Alexander Isak appearing on their radar, according to Italian outlet Tutto Juve.

They claim that United have been closely monitoring the Swedish international, potentially plotting a move after he scored 23 times in his 34 league appearances this campaign.

It also states that Chelsea and Arsenal are in the race to land the 25-year-old, but the Magpies are preparing a new contract for the forward, who’s currently valued at around £150m.

Why United’s £150m target would be a better signing than Gyokeres

Viktor Gyokeres has been a player in their sights over recent seasons, but their interest has skyrocketed after Amorim’s arrival – understandably so given his time with the striker at Sporting CP.

The Swede has registered a staggering 54 goals in his 52 outings in 2024/25, leading to a whole host of English sides being linked with a move for his signature.

Arsenal appeared to be leading the race this window, but it appears as though the Gunners have moved on to different targets, subsequently bringing Amorim’s side back into the picture.

His rumoured £68m fee would undoubtedly tempt the hierarchy given his staggering goalscoring record, but they should look past a move for Gyokeres and put their attention on a deal for Isak.

Whilst the Sporting talisman has registered more goals this season, the Newcastle star has consistently thrived in England’s top flight – having the skillset that would make him an immediate success at Old Trafford.

When comparing their underlying stats from the current season, Isak has dominated, further showcasing why he would be the better option ahead of 2025/26.

The Magpies attacker, who’s been labelled “world-class” by journalist Thomas Hammond, may have been outscored, but has posted a higher goal per shot on target rate – showcasing his clinical edge in front of goal.

He’s also completed more passes and more passes into the final third, having the tools to provide the players around him at Old Trafford with the opportunities to thrive.

Isak has also completed more take-ons and made a higher tally of carries into the final third per 90, having the skillset to create his own opportunities rather than be dependent on other options around him.

The £150m price tag would be a club and English record, but the deal could prove to be worth every penny, especially if he can carry his form from St James’ with him to Old Trafford.

Gyokeres may still be some supporters’ first choice this window, but it’s evident that Isak would be the better option for the Red Devils and Wilcox in their pursuit of rising up the table in 2025/26.

Bellingham 2.0: Man Utd open talks for "one of the best CMs in the world"

Manchester United appear to be laying the foundations over a move for a sensational young talent.

ByEthan Lamb Jun 27, 2025

Fresh off the back of what Erling Haaland described as a “boring” season, Manchester City are looking to bring back the excitement amid what has been a hectic start to the transfer window at the Etihad.

With the intriguing Club World Cup on the horizon, Pep Guardiola’s side have acted swiftly in order to bolster their ranks for the competition, with a deal having been agreed for AC Milan sensation, Tijjani Reijnders.

The capture of the Netherlands international – who had joined the Serie A side from AZ Alkmaar back in 2023 – is expected to cost an initial fee of around €55m (£46m), thus providing Guardiola with further depth in the midfield department.

Elsewhere, meanwhile, the Citizens are “advancing” their pursuit of Wolverhampton Wanderers star, Rayan Ait-Nouri, with his namesake – Rayan Cherki – also agreeing personal terms.

A bid is expected to be lodged for a player who could cost just £25m to prise from Lyon, having registered 32 goals and assists in all competitions for the Ligue 1 side at the age of just 21.

The suggestion is that the Frenchman could well be a “future Ballon d’Or winner”, according to The Athletic’s Alex Barker. Perhaps the same is true of a potentially even more exciting summer target…

Man City make move for Premier League sensation

Hoovering up Britain’s best young talent has been a common theme of the City recruitment drive in recent years, with notable arrivals including the West Ham United pairing of Divin Mubama and Divine Mukasa – the latter of whom registered 42 goals and assists in just 41 games at youth level in 2024/25.

Transfer Focus

Mega money deals, controversial moves and big-name flops. This is the home of transfer news and opinion across Football FanCast.

That youth-centric transfer approach only looks set to continue, with transfer guru Fabrizio Romano having revealed that the Manchester side have agreed a deal for Sheffield Wednesday striker Caelan Cadamarteri.

Such news also comes amid reports which suggest that City are hoping to raid Arsenal for the signing of teenage sensation, Max Dowman, with Football Transfers noting that the 2023 treble winners, as well as Barcelona, have ‘expressed interest’ in the Hale End star.

As per the report, both clubs are believed to have made ‘initial approaches’ to ‘signal their interest’ in the England youth international, albeit with the Gunners determined to keep hold of their 15-year-old prodigy.

The suggestion is that City would look to offer a similar pathway to that of Phil Foden, who was carefully nurtured and developed before cementing a first-team role for himself, with Barca said to be at a disadvantage as Dowman would not be able to join until he turns 18.

Any potential excitement over signing a player who doesn’t turn 16 until December may appear premature, although all the signs point to the teenager being a genuine star of the future.

Why Man City should sign Dowman

As noted by Football Transfers, Arsenal are desperate to avoid letting their homegrown diamond depart, and why wouldn’t they be? This is a player who, despite his youth, is already earning rave reviews from across the game.

Already part of first-team training in north London – amid the confirmation that he will join the pre-season tour this summer – Dowman has been given the backing of senior teammate Declan Rice, who described him as the “best 15-year-old in the country”.

Such words have been echoed by Arsenal insider, Will Balsam, who has claimed that the in-demand playmaker is the “biggest talent in England”. Talent scout Jacek Kulig, meanwhile, has hailed Dowman as the “most exciting prospect” he has seen “since Yamine Lamal”.

It is those words which showcase just why the rising star is earning admiring glances from some of Europe’s elite clubs, while equally, it also illustrates why he could prove to be an even more exciting capture than the mercurial Cherki.

Indeed, it does appear that a first senior appearance is a matter of when and not if for the Emirates ace, not least having already registered 30 goals and assists in just 25 U18 appearances for the club, as per Transfermarkt.

Comfortable on the right flank or in a central role – much like Cherki – Dowman is a simply joyous talent to witness, possessing a wand of a left foot and a dazzling ability to breeze past defenders.

That was evident during the club’s FA Youth Cup run, as he put in a statement display in the semi-final clash with Manchester United, despite ending up on the losing side, having notably won and converted a penalty for the Gunners following a surging solo run from deep.

Described as a ‘superstar in the making’ by the Standard’s Simon Collings following that 3-2 loss, Dowman appears destined to follow in the footsteps of Bukayo Saka and Myles Lewis-Skelly under Mikel Arteta – provided Guardiola and co don’t make their move, of course.

While landing a talent like Cherki is nothing to be sniffed at, being able to secure arguably the ‘biggest talent in England’ from one of your Premier League rivals would certainly take the biscuit.

After Reijnders: Man City to submit bid for Mahrez 2.0 "in the next hours"

Man City’s squad overhaul looks set to continue this summer, amid Tijjani Reijnders’ expected arrival.

ByRobbie Walls Jun 4, 2025

Newcastle United’s squad have immortalised themselves this season, defeating Liverpool at Wembley to win the Carabao Cup and end a 70-year domestic drought.

However, PIF won’t want that success to be a fleeting thing, a flash-in-the-pan. To reinforce this exciting position, Eddie Howe’s Magpies simply have to finish in the Premier League’s top five and secure a gateway back into the Champions League.

For sure, United have demonstrated in recent years their ability to overcome setbacks, to bounce back stronger, but there’s little question that the financial ramifications and bargaining power in keeping key players at St. James’ Park will weaken considerably if not seated at Europe’s elite table.

Should they cross the finish line in the desired position, Newcastle will not only be able to retain their top players, but sign some new superstars. There’s one such player already in the pipeline as the summer market beckons.

Newcastle chasing new forward

This feels like a deal only attainable if financial parameters are widened through Champions League qualification, but Newcastle are in the running for Wolverhampton Wanderers’ Matheus Cunha.

Transfer Focus

Mega money deals, controversial moves and big-name flops. This is the home of transfer news and opinion across Football FanCast.

That’s according to Fabrizio Romano who was being quizzed on GIVEMESPORT’s Market Madness show.

He revealed that Newcastle will look to strike a deal with Molineux for their star forward, who has a £62.5m release clause in his contract. The transfer insider has commented that Howe and co believe the 25-year-old would be “perfect” for the project.

However, the Toon have got their work cut out, with Manchester United are reportedly leading the race for his signature after a bunch of positive talks between the respective parties.

It’s worth noting that Newcastle’s sporting director, Paul Mitchell, led player recruitment at RB Leipzig when the German side signed a teenage Cunha back in 2018. Food for thought.

Why Newcastle should sign Matheus Cunha

Off the bat, Man United might feel that they are making headway in their efforts to sign Cunha, but if they fail to win the Europa League, Old Trafford’s 2024/25 campaign will be limited to solely the domestic front.

Newcastle, conversely, may well be returned to the Champions League theatre after a trophy-winning campaign. Should finances hold up, there’s no reason why Howe can’t tempt Cunha to move to Tyneside.

And what a signing it would be. The Brazil international has been hailed by BBC Sport’s Micah Richards for his blend of quality and intelligence on the field, the pundit saying: “His football IQ is absolutely sensational. He’s the one who can unlock the doors. He finds the little pockets of space and makes the right decisions at the right times.”

Cunha is positionally dynamic, something which suggests he could slot square into the running of things within Howe’s operation. However, given the make-up of Newcastle’s starting 11, he may well prove to be an upgrade on Harvey Barnes on the left flank.

Barnes, 27, has been in fine fettle of late, superseding Anthony Gordon following the latter’s red card against Brighton in the FA Cup. He’s racked up six goal involvements in his past five Premier League fixtures, with at least one during every fixture.

Barnes has a natural talent for goals, for assists. However, he lacks the completeness of his Brazilian counterpart, which is largely why he’s been unable to displace the more dynamic Gordon for much of his Newcastle career.

If the Magpies were to succeed in their effort for such a winger, one who can play across a range of positions, it may well be the perfect piece needed for a team moving back into Champions League competition next year – and this time, with a newfound title-winning quality about them.

Even if Newcastle qualify for the Champions League this summer, PSR will hang over St. James’ Park like an ominous shadow. It’s for this reason that the club are at least open to the prospect of selling a player like Barnes, as reported by Football Insider.

If this ameliorates financial concerns, carving space for the £90k-per-week Cunha in the process, it’s something of a no-brainer. Think of Barnes’ recent purple patch as a stock raiser ahead of an exciting chain of events.

Best signing since Isak: Newcastle hit the jackpot on "world-class" star

Newcastle’s signing has turned into one of the best players in the Premier League.

ByAngus Sinclair Apr 18, 2025

Tottenham Hotspur have been tipped to appoint a “perfect” replacement for under-fire boss Ange Postecoglou, but it isn’t their rumoured top managerial target Andoni Iraola.

Ange Postecoglou relying on Europa League to save Tottenham job

Following a dismal Premier League campaign, with Postecoglou on course to become Spurs’ worst-ever head coach in the competition’s history, the Australian is seriously under the cosh.

ByEmilio Galantini Apr 8, 2025

A 3-1 win over relegated Southampton on Sunday provided a rare break from the pressure surrounding Postecoglou’s position, with the 59-year-old now fully focused on getting past Eintracht Frankfurt in the first leg of their Europa League quarter-final tie on Thursday.

It is widely believed that Postecoglou is relying on a good run in the Europa League to keep his job at Tottenham, and this is echoed by reliable journalist Fabrizio Romano.

“It’s not over yet, but it’s a dangerous situation, the one of Ange Postecoglou at Tottenham,” said Romano on his YouTube channel last week.

“I know Spurs fans are not happy with the current situation. It’s really poor in terms of points. In the Europa League, it’s a different story. Now, there is an important clash with Eintracht [Frankfurt]. So the Europa League is saving the season at the moment for Tottenham and Postecoglou.

“If Tottenham win the Europa League, this could change the whole sense of the project. Next year, they would be in the Champions League finally, so it would be really important. Otherwise, the expectation is that there is a very concrete and strong chance for Tottenham to replace Postecoglou at the end of the season.”

The Lilywhites have already been drawing up potential replacements for Postecoglou, including Iraola, who is believed to be their leading candidate for the job (The Athletic).

However, the 42-year-old isn’t Spurs’ only option, with links also surrounding Fulham boss Marco Silva.

Some reports even suggest that Tottenham have already made an apporach for Silva, following another impressive campaign at Craven Cottage for the Portuguese. European football is very much still alive for the Whites, and they’re fresh off the back of a thrilling 3-2 win over Premier League title frontrunners Liverpool.

Tottenham tipped to appoint Marco Silva instead of Andoni Iraola

Now, TalkSPORT pundit Troy Deeney has explained why Silva would be the “perfect” appointment for Tottenham, with the ex-Watford striker tipping him to transform Spurs in just three months.

“The biggest compliment you could take for Marco Silva is that, if you look at all the people that are around him – his staff – they’ve been poached, because they (other clubs) want Marco Silva but they go and get the people off his branches,” said Deeney on air (via West London Sport).

“He’s ready for a big team. I think he’d be perfect for Spurs if they would allow him to just go and take over and not get involved too much from up above.

“I think he’d change the culture of that place within three months. Marco is definitely ready. Fulham are on a good trajectory, but I think they’ll struggle to keep him long term.”

The South Australia fast bowler had been due to tour the West Indies before injury but is on track to start the Sheffield Shield season

Andrew McGlashan11-Sep-2025Brendan Doggett is in the “prime of his career” and has been backed by his South Australia coach Ryan Harris to be able to step into Test cricket during the Ashes if needed.Doggett was part of the Australia Test squad last season, having first been called up back in 2018 for a series against Pakistan in the UAE, and was a traveling reserve for the World Test Championship final against South Africa.He had been due to tour the West Indies before being withdrawn because of a hip injury but is on track to start the season for the double defending champions although from there will have his workload managed in conjunction with the Australia set-up.Related

The depth of Australia’s pace bowling has been brought firmly into view with Pat Cummins’ back injury, and while Scott Boland will be the next in line for a spot in the startling XI, Doggett is likely only one more injury away from a debut.”He’s had a really good winter,” Harris told ESPNcricinfo. “He came back from the World Test Championship with a couple of niggles [but] he had good time to let them heal.”He had a really good programme that he was following and he was diligent. We didn’t take him to Darwin in our pre-season camp and let him just get himself right down here.”We’ve got a couple of trial games [this week] which he’ll bowl some good overs in. But what I’ve seen in training, he’s up and about. He’s ready to go. He’s bowling fast and he’s moving the ball, which is good. He’ll definitely start for us.”Doggett’s elevation to the Test squad last season came on the back of a career-best 6 for 15 against India A in Mackay. He capped his summer with a career-best match haul of 11 wickets in the Sheffield Shield final, where South Australia secured the title with victory over Queensland, to finish with 44 first-class wickets at 20.56 which followed 32 wickets at 21.90 the previous season.

“He knows what he needs to do. He knows when he has step it up and bowl quick and knows he can control his pace. He’s in the prime of his career now. There’s no doubt that if Brendan gets a call, I have absolute full confidence in that he can go in and do a good job in that team”Ryan Harris on Brendan Doggett

“He’s definitely ready [for Test cricket],” Harris said. “[With] his mind, I think, and the confidence he has now in his game. He was a bit mixed [up] probably a couple of years ago where he was trying to swing it and he wasn’t trying to swing it, but he’s worked it all out.”He knows what he needs to do. He knows when he has step it up and bowl quick and knows he can control his pace. He’s in the prime of his career now. There’s no doubt that if Brendan gets a call, I have absolute full confidence in that he can go in and do a good job in that team.”There will be a balancing act for the selectors in the lead-up to the Ashes in ensuring the fast bowlers in the mix have enough work to be ready while avoiding pushing them too far.It is expected that Mitchell Starc and Josh Hazlewood will combine the ODIs against India with potentially one Sheffield Shield game for New South Wales before the first Test, while Boland is expected to play at least two four-day games for Victoria.

It’s not just a month before, it’s 12 months out. Someone like Jhye Richardson, hopefully he will be available for some of the summer. There’s [Michael] Neser. Brendan Doggett was part of squads last year. Sean Abbott. So I’m really confident in our depth.”Obviously there is a bit of Shield cricket and white-ball cricket before that to make sure everyone is up and raring to go.”Those who are involved in the one-day leg of the Australia A tour of India or the T20I tour to New Zealand will miss the opening round of Sheffield Shield matches which start on October 4.

Less than a fortnight after Sydney Sixers were mauled by Melbourne Stars, they have won the return bout to continue their late-season WBBL surge.Ash Gardner starred with her highest score in the league for more than two years, as well as taking three wickets, in the 16-run win on Wednesday at Drummoyne Oval. The Sixers improved to equal-second in the standings with Stars, and have a game in hand.On November 20, Stars great Meg Lanning unleashed a batting masterclass against Sixers, and her 135 remains the top score of the season. But since that heavy loss, Sixers are on a three-game winning streak, with one no-result. By contrast, Stars have lost their past two matches to fall three points behind top side Hobart Hurricanes.After Sixers won the toss on Wednesday, Gardner headlined their innings with a quickfire 50 from 31 balls, featuring seven fours and two sixes. It was her highest WBBL score since October 2023.Maia Bouchier’s 67 went in a losing cause•Getty Images

With Bouchier out for a match-high 67 from 40 balls, and Gibson dismissed in the next over for 17, Sixers could breathe again.Stars reached 148 for 8 as Gardner snared 3 for 31 from four overs.Sixers will close out the regular season against Melbourne Renegades and Adelaide Strikers, while Stars will play Sydney Thunder.

O Santos vive um dilema para a final do Paulistão. O clube foi mandante na vitória diante do Bragantino, e a partida aconteceu na Neo Química Arena, do Corinthians. Não na Vila Belmiro. Para a decisão do domingo (31), apesar da questão sobre o estádio, a prioridade é voltar a jogar na capital paulista.

Com uma renda de mais de R$ 3 milhões e quase 45 mil pessoas no estádio, o jogo na casa do rival pode ser considerado um sucesso. Existe chance do retorno à Itaquera, mas a ideia de jogar no MorumBis também agrada. No entanto, o São Paulo chegou a vetar o aluguel do estádio para rivais, na primeira fase do Estadual.

O presidente Marcelo Teixeira abordou o tema na saída da Neo Química Arena e reiterou a preferência.

– Vamos aguardar a definição de quem será o finalista. Teremos a reunião na sexta na Federação Paulista, me parece que o Novorizontino faz questão de jogar na sua casa, o Palmeiras idem. Temos que aguardar o outro finalista para resolvermos essa situação. O Santos, se puder fazer essa decisão antecipada, vamos fazer desde já e vamos jogar em São Paulo – contou.

O lateral Felipe Jonatan confirmou a intenção. Ele revelou que os jogadores ouviram sobre a preferência da diretoria para atuar em São Paulo, independentemente do adversário da final.

– Essa definição fica mais para a diretoria. Já escutamos algumas coisas que querem mandar o jogo em São Paulo independentemente do adversário. Vamos deixar isso com a diretoria. Mostramos que o Santos, onde jogar, temos que nos doar. Pegamos uma equipe de Série A, o Bragantino, formada e entrosada há muito tempo. Independentemente do local, aqui, no Morumbis, na Vila Belmiro, temos que entrar para ganhar porque é uma final – afirmou, em entrevista à Cazé TV.

Classificado à final do Paulistão após bater o Massa Bruta por 3 a 1, o Santos aguarda o vencedor entre Palmeiras e Novorizontino para conhecer seu adversário da final do estadual. A partida entre os outros semifinalistas acontece nesta quinta-feira (28), no Allianz Parque.

O primeiro a ser citado durante a entrevista coletiva concedida nesta quarta-feira foi o atacante Carlinhos, ex-Flamengo, pouco aproveitado durante a temporada.

— O empréstimo de alguns jogadores estão vencendo e não vamos renovar, como Carlinhos — afirmou Mota.

Mesmo com a passagem de quatro treinadores pela Toca do Leão, Carlinhos manteve o status de terceiro na fila da posição de centroavante ao longo de todo o ano. Ainda assim, ele entrou em campo 23 vezes com a camisa vermelha e preta, com quatro gols marcados.

Além de Carlinhos, Fábio Mota também revelou a saída do lateral-direito Raúl Cáceres e do volante Willian Oliveira. Ambos, inclusive, terminaram a temporada como titulares do time de Jair Ventura.

— O Raúl [Cáceres] quis voltar para a terra dele [Paraguai]. Quero aproveitar para agradecer os dois anos que ele passou aqui, um cara exemplar, dedicado e de bom caráter, mas está voltando para o país dele. Nós entendemos e desejamos sorte ao Raúl. O Willian também saiu com a mesma história, voltando para a terra dele. Recebeu uma proposta. Estamos trabalhando no mercado para repor essas duas peças. A meta é tentar ser o mais assertivo possível — detalhou.

— Estamos conversando com Halter. Entre Vitória e Botafogo está resolvido. Estamos conversando com o atleta. Baralhas e Vitória está adiantado. Vitória e Atlético-GO estamos conversando — iniciou o presidente Fábio Mota.

— Thiago Couto não deu porque o Sport está sem presidente. Estamos aguardando. Sobre Erick, estamos conversando com o São Paulo. Disseram que o São Paulo negou a proposta do Vitória. Não negou porque não fizemos ainda. Estamos na conversa. Estamos conversando com o Coritiba sobre Jamerson. Está bem adiantado. Estamos conversando com o Internacional sobre o Ramon. O objetivo do Vitória é renovar o contrato desses atletas — completou.
