Football transfer rumours: Newcastle in for Roma’s Dovbyk? Ederson to Galatasaray?

Today’s fluff is singing when it’s fishing Today’s tittle-tattle starts with a Manchester club scrabbling around to resolve their goalkeeping situation. City’s Ederson continues to attract interest from Galatasaray, and a move could unlock the departure of Gianluigi Donnarumma from Paris Saint-Germain to the Etihad, Sky Sports reports. Donnarumma’s people, PSG’s people and City’s people have been in contact to thrash out possible details, and further agreeable lunches are anticipated. As for Ederson, City say they want to keep him as well but while Al-Nassr’s interest in the Brazilian appears to have cooled Galatasaray remain keen and a deal could yet happen. Thursday’s Newcastle striker talk has them moving for Roma’s Artem Dovbyk , initially on loan. The Serie A club are reportedly open to the move becoming permanent but would want at least €30m for the Ukraine international, and a purchase obligation clause in the small print of any loan deal.

Most Brits Now Believe The UK Economy Has Got Worse Since We Left The EU

Most Brits Now Believe The UK Economy Has Got Worse Since We Left The EU

Pro-Europe campaigners and tourists during the regular anti-Brexit 'rejoin the EU' protest at the junction of Parliament Street and Parliament Square in Westminster, on 18th June 2025, in Westminster, London, England. Nearly three-quarters of Brits think the UK economy has got worse since Brexit , according to a new poll. Nine years after the country narrowly voted to leave the bloc, it seems Brits are far from convinced by life outside of the EU’s single market. A new survey from More in Common has revealed that 71% of voters think the UK economy has worsened since 2016, compared to just 12% who think it has improved. The poll, commissioned for Best for Britain and conducted in April and May, found 77% say the cost of living has got worse since the UK left the EU. A further 58% say UK businesses face greater difficulties accessing European markets as a result of Brexit. The pollsters also noted that Brits are now in favour of working more closely with Europe – as long as it improves the cost of living and trade opportunities. A majority (54%) – including 44% who voted Leave and 44% who said they would currently back Reform UK – say they would be in favour of working more closely with Europe on areas like food, trade standards and defence. But a third of Brits (32%) also believe that protecting Britain’s sovereignty should be a red line for future negotiations with the EU. The findings come as the government looks to strengthen trade ties with the EU – a move which has infuriated ardent Brexit campaigners like Reform UK leader Nigel Farage. His party, Reform UK, has vowed to rip up the UK’s current reset agreement with the EU, and accused Labour of “trying to betray Brexit” by aligning with EU rules on trade without parliamentary debate. Labour minister for EU relations, Nick Thomas-Symonds, said Farage would “take Britain backwards” if he got into power. Even so, Reform currently has an eight-point lead over Labour in the opinion polls More in Common’s executive director, Luke Tryl, explained: “Nearly a decade after leaving the EU, many Britons want the government to take a pragmatic approach to working with Europe, supporting closer cooperation when it delivers clear economic benefits – especially in areas like the cost of living and food prices. “At the same time, concern about sovereignty remains. The country is split on what closer ties with Europe might mean for the UK’s ability to make its own decisions on regulatory standards. “Rather than wanting politicians to re-litigate Brexit, most want the focus to be on practical discussions that work out how to balance the economic benefits of a closer relationship with protecting national control.” Labour promised to put economic growth at the heart of its government, but it’s been a mixed picture during the party’s first 13 months in power. The economy grew by 0.4% in June, but contracted by 0.3% in April and 0.1% in May, according to the Office for National Statistics. Related...
