Medier: Chelsea og Manchester City enige om gigantovergang

Den argentinske verdensmesteren Enzo Fernández (25) forlater etter alle solemerker Chelsea til fordel for Premier League-rival Manchester City.
En rekke medier, blant dem BBC, Sky Sports og The Athletic, melder tirsdag kveld at klubbene er enige om betingelsene for overgangen.
Oovergangen skal ha en verdi på 125 millioner pund. Det tilsvarer 1,58 milliarder norske kroner etter dagens kurs. Det er tangering av den største overgangssummen som noen gang er betalt i britisk fotball.
Alexander Isak kostet det samme da han ble hentet til Liverpool for ett år siden.
25-årige Fernandez vant VM med Argentina for fire år siden og var tapende finalist mot Spania i sommer. På overtid i finalen ble han utvist.
Fernández spilte 25 minutter av sesongens første Premier League-kamp. Deretter har han vært plassert på Chelsea-benken av manager Xabi Alonso, som svarte unnvikende på spørsmål om argentinerens framtid før sesongen.

Vålerenga forsterker med MLS-spiller

Dennis Gjengaar (22) er klar for Vålerengas fotballherrer. Han kommer fra New York Red Bulls og har skrevet under en fireårsavtale med Oslo-klubben.
Vålerenga opplyser om overgangen i sine mediekanaler tirsdag.
Gjengaar har en fortid i Odd. Kantspilleren ble i 2024 solgt fra skiensklubben til New York Red Bulls. Siden overgangen har han spilt 71 kamper for amerikanerne.
– Det er moro å komme til klubben med de desidert beste supporterne i Norge. De gir deg den ekstra lille dytten til å gi absolutt alt du har i kroppen. Jeg er en spiller med mye fart og løpskraft så det passer meg godt med mye sprint begge veier i 90 minutter. Jeg skal komme inn her med masse energi, sier Gjengaar.

Chris Ballard: Anthony Richardson will be a Colt this year

Back in February, Colts quarterback Anthony Richardson requested a trade.

When nothing materialized, Richardson reported to the offseason program and has been competing to be the team's backup behind Daniel Jones with Riley Leonard.

Richardson's feelings may or may not have changed. But at this point, the Colts do not intend to trade him.

"He is going to be an Indianapolis Colt this year," General Manager Chris Ballard said in his Tuesday press conference.

Richardson, 24, has continued to make strides in his development, Ballard said.

“We forget how young he is sometimes. Really proud of his growth,” Ballard said. “ There were two times in camp where I thought, OK, he’s starting to really show some poise. So the two-minute against New England, we’re backed up, I think it was 38 seconds left on the clock. Gets us in field-goal range to give us a chance to get points. And then during the Atlanta scrimmage, he had a tremendous two-minute [drive] also.

“So, it’s been fun to watch Anthony’s growth.”

Ballard did not declare whether or not Richardson, the No. 4 overall pick of the 2023 draft. will serve as the backup, deferring to head coach Shane Steichen. But when it comes to Richardson’s status with the team at large, Steichen said the quarterback is “in a good spot.”

“He’s a phenomenal teammate — and I don’t use that word lightly,” Ballard said. "Like, he is a great teammate. He likes to be around the team. He likes being part of the team. There’s never been a point — even going back into last year when he didn’t win the job — there’s not been one point where I’ve seen him hang his head and get salty. He’s a phenomenal teammate.”
