Sadio Mane in talks to join Ronaldo at Al Nassr

Latest entertainment gist

Sadio Mané, the talented former forward of Liverpool FC, has expressed his willingness to explore negotiations with Saudi Arabian club Al Nassr over a possible transfer.

Reports suggest that Mané had always hoped for an opportunity to continue his career at Bayern Munich. However, recent developments indicate that Bayern is now keen on parting ways with the player, paving the way for potential suitors like Al Nassr.

Sources close to the matter revealed that Sadio Mané initially gave the green light to consider a move to Saudi Arabia following discussions that highlighted his preference for staying at Bayern.

It seems the Senegalese international was open to exploring new options after Bayern made it clear they were looking to offload him.

As news of Mané’s potential availability spread, Al Nassr, led by Cristiano Ronaldo as the owner of the club, have wasted no time in expressing their interest. The Saudi outfit is now gearing up to make a formal bid and engage in contract discussions with the 29-year-old forward.

The possibility of Mané joining Al Nassr has sent shockwaves through the football world, as he has been a pivotal figure for Liverpool during his time at the club.

“They are damaging English football” — Pochettino

Latest entertainment gist

Chelsea’s manager, Mauricio Pochettino, expressed vehement criticism towards the Update Assistant Referee (VAR) system following Chelsea’s 2-2 draw against Aston Villa on Saturday.

The Blues found themselves trailing by two goals in the first half but managed to stage a comeback, leveling the score in the second half.

Axel Disasi believed he had secured the winning goal with a header, only for VAR to intervene and disallow the goal. This decision ultimately left Chelsea settling for a draw. With this result, Chelsea currently sits in 9th place in the Premier League standings with 48 points.

In a post-match statement, Pochettino stated,

“Two different things: the referee said it was a foul and disallowed the goal and then went to the VAR to confirm. The referee is unbelievable and it’s ridiculous. It is difficult to accept these types of things.”

He went on to reference previous contentious VAR decisions, including one in the FA Cup semi-final against Manchester City, which further fueled his frustration.

Wife gets court summons for son’s DNA test |

Latest entertainment gist

Omowunmi, the wife of Ilerioluwa Aloba, Nigeria’s late musician professionally known as Mohbad, has received the court summons for her to carry out a DNA test to confirm the paternity of her son, Liam.

The Eagle Online recalls that a Magistrate’s Court in Ikorodu, Lagos had given the order for substituted service on her.

This followed the inability of court bailiffs to serve the summons on Omowunmi personally.

According to available information on Saturday, the summons was affixed to the gate of the last known address of Omowunmi.

This followed the application filed by the legal team to Joseph Aloba, father to the late singer, which sought an order to serve Omowunmi by posting all the originating processes and other processes in the suit on her last known address.

A statement signed by a member of the legal team to the Aloba family, Monisola Odumosu, confirmed this.

According to the statement, the legal team, led by Emmanuel Oroko, had argued that the sheriff had attempted twice to serve Omowunmi the court process but failed.
