The first news comes from the Premier League Thieves. Seven months ago, Manchester City star Jack Grealish's home was visited by burglars, which cost him more than £1 million, but now, more than half a year later, the police still have no news of the gang of thieves.
According to The Sun, the thieves have not been caught, much to Grealish's concern. Grealish was playing Everton with the team in December when burglars visited his home and stole £1 million worth of jewellery and watches. Sources said Grealish was frustrated by the fact that he had not been able to apprehend the suspect.
Grealish's fear that they would never be caught upset him and also had serious consequences for his family, seven months have passed and no one has been arrested, police have been saying they are still investigating, and there are fears that they have fled to a foreign country. Grealish was worried that they would come again. ”
In addition to Jack Grealish, Joao Cancelo, Raheem Sterling, Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang, Paul Pogba and Angel Di Maria have all suffered similar incidents.
The second piece of news came from Arsenal. Recently, Arsenal have been trying to complete the transfer signing of Calafiori, but they have been slow to make progress. Today, according to the Mirror, the biggest reason at the moment is that Rome is obstructing it.
According to the report, Arsenal have reached a transfer agreement with Bologna, but Roma have filed legal proceedings over the transfer split, which has also delayed Calafiori's transfer again. According to the player's previous transfer agreement, Carafiori's former club Basel will receive 50% of the defender's profit from the sale of the defender, and Bologna has opened discussions with Basel about this part of the transfer, which is one of the reasons why Calafiori was unable to complete the transfer.
Another reason was that there was a 50% resale clause in the contract when the move from Roma to Basel was made, and Roma had already been paid £1.2 million when Basel sold Calafiori to Bologna. However, Roma believe the fee is too little, as Calafiori's value has skyrocketed, and Roma believe the player should be paid at least £6.7 million if the move to Arsenal is completed. However, Basel believes that the resale clause in the contract has been met at the time of the first transfer.
Rome and Basel have both hired lawyers and will face each other in court, with Arsenal being the biggest victim. It is worth mentioning that Calafioli made his debut at Roma, but only made 18 appearances for the team.
The third piece of news comes from the Olympics. With less than a week to go until the opening of the Paris Olympics, the most high-profile event in the world of sport has been unexpected. According to The Times, there are still hundreds of thousands of unsold tickets for the Olympics, including tickets for the 100m final and the opening ceremony.
Organisers revealed that there are still 500,000-600,000 tickets available for purchase, and tickets for the 100m final would normally be sold out long ago. It is worth mentioning that most of the tickets that have not been sold so far for this Olympic Games are football match tickets, which is the same as previous Olympic Games.
However, it is surprising that there are still plenty of empty seats for tickets for the top events. However, tickets for most sports, such as cycling, swimming, rowing, rugby sevens, gymnastics and other track and field finals, are sold out.
Tickets for the London 2012 Olympics were cheaper than at the time, when tickets for the finals of most events, especially athletics, were hard to come by and even had to be drawn by lots.
However, the Organising Committee does not acknowledge that interest in the Games has declined, and even now it has sold 8.8 million tickets, a figure that has already made Olympic history. There were still 250,000 tickets unsold at the end of the London Olympics and 1 million tickets left unsold at the end of the Rio Olympics.
