Atletico Madrid on Saturday dropped points — yet again — to a relegation-threatened side
this is probably the biggest takeaway from the afternoon game at Mendizorrotza
where Atlético habitually have struggled this decade
Diego Simeone’s side are meandering toward the end of the 2024/25 season and
Let’s dive in to the key takeaways from this one
A season which once held so much promise and potential is ending in heartbreak. The Colchoneros are in no man’s land — unlikely to move up from third, and yet just two points away from a 13th successive Champions League qualification with four rounds to play
There can be no other conclusion after watching Atlético and its one-time standard-bearer Antoine Griezmann wander through the muck at Mendizorrotza
Good enough for a start on Saturday after assisting a goal against Rayo Vallecano last time out
Griezmann lasted about an hour before being taken off
but he may as well have had the day off though
The Frenchman did not register a single shot
two crosses and a corner just about all he managed to create
But same could have been said for just about any of the players who started the game; it is rather disappointing that Atlético did not manage even a single shot in the opening 45 minutes
They managed to muster up nine in the second half
the substitutes racking up nearly all of those
though they never really troubled Antonio Sivera in goal
the most eventful moment of the game came in the 41st minute
when Julián Alvarez initially saw red for a challenge on Facundo Garcés
The following VAR check and the subsequent overturned decision brought about the only real talking point over 90 minutes of football
- THE RED CARD HAS BEEN TURNED AROUND FOR A YELLOW!NO RED CARD FOR ALVAREZ! pic.twitter.com/NQ0b5TYdnp
With this result, Atlético have now dropped 11 points against the bottom five in La Liga this season. This in itself has been a major reason for their undoing; that additional 11-point haul would leave the Rojiblancos just a point adrift of leaders FC Barcelona
Atleti’s tendency to drop points so cheaply — particularly away from home — continues to prove worrisome in the face of another important summer in the club’s offices. If they are to truly mount a title charge and match the might of Barcelona and Real Madrid
it is simply inexcusable to pass up on these opportunities
Atlético did go on a historic 15-match winning run earlier this season
so for them to still fall well short of the title indicates just how small the margin for error is
It might even be excusable if this was a one-off occurrence in a pressure-filled campaign
but the fact that this trend has emerged over the last few seasons is yet another cause for concern
It is not the first time Simeone’s side have looked toothless against clubs fighting against relegation
from more modern defenders to final third creativity
se ha quedado sin opciones matemáticas de ganar la Liga a falta de cuatro jornadas.Primera vez en la historia de la Primera española que el campeón de invierno se queda sin opciones de ganar la Liga a falta de cuatro jornadas
Cholo Simeone’s side were prolific goal-scorers
Griezmann and Julián Alvarez were world-class
and sharp finishing to fire Atlético to the top of the table
the same players look tired and mentally checked out
It might be easy to forget that last summer was only the first step towards Atleti’s “big rebuild.” For the Rojiblancos to have pushed for trophies on all three fronts this year with a left side made up of Javi Galán
and the out-of-form duo of Samuel Lino and Rodrigo Riquelme is a major over-performance
Gallagher was the only player brought in last summer
and even he did not expect to play down the left as much as he has
Addressing that flank is probably the most crucial part of the window ahead
even more than bolstering the midfield and defense
or finding yet another attacker to add to the mix

Atlético are yet to convincingly replace Griezmann
all of whom have been vital to their success over the past several seasons
but he too would need some creative support alongside him
Pablo Barrios has shown signs of emerging as Koke’s long-term replacement over the last couple of months
but there are still question marks over his consistency
but both lack youthful backups in the squad
Another key transfer window awaits
both to future-proof and pursue titles in the present
While this season disappointingly fizzles out
this version of Atlético Madrid is probably going to be better judged in the months to come

He spoke in Vitoria-Gasteiz after the 0-0 tie
Atlético Madrid coach Diego Simeone spoke following the team’s 0-0 draw against Deportivo Alavés on Saturday to reflect on an even battle
and also look forward to what the team is left fighting for in the closing weeks of the campaign
the coach denied accusations that the season is already over for Atlético
there are still four games left and something we’ve earned on our own merits competing with Barça and Madrid
no small feat for all this work over 14 years.”
which will be held in the United States starting in June
Simeone added “it will be new and will generate real enthusiasm in all the teams that participate.”
neither in link-up play nor in attacking play
We improved as the second half moved along
around the 20th minute we had a better pace
We were left with a draw in which neither of us were able to score.”
“When we won the league it also happened to us in Almeria
It doesn’t mean that if you go to play with the bottom team you have to win no matter what
Just because they’re at the bottom doesn’t mean you’re going to win
there were three or four important situations
but the goalkeeper was very good and we even had a penalty
In Getafe we were 1-0 up with 10 minutes to go and we got ourselves into trouble
the goalkeeper made two incredible saves and in the second half they scored
Alavés almost won it with that close call from Kiké.”
In Las Palmas the first half was very good and the second half was very bad

Visitors Atletico failed to record a single shot in the opening 45 minutes, the third time they have done so this season
and had to wait until the 71st minute for their first effort on target
Alaves goalkeeper Antonio Sivera was kept busy in the closing stages as Atletico pushed forward
"What we all saw was a flat first half from both sides
"In the second half we went from less to more
We were left with a draw because we couldn't finish the chances we had and neither could they
"In football you don't just win when you play the last teams in the table
when you feel like it and when you don't."
Atletico accumulated just 0.60 expected goals to Alaves' 0.61
with both teams managing just two shots on target each in a hard-fought clash
It continued a concerning run on the road for Atletico
who have won just two of their last eight LaLiga away games (D3 L3)

A few days ago I was reading an interesting work by a professor of history of theology at Oxford University
about Christian doctrine as a true laboratory of faith where to find new formulas to present Christianity to the eyes of men in a new and attractive way
it is not enough to criticize what is wrong in society
in the cultural approaches of others or in the lives of others
We must enter the laboratory of Christian doctrine and search among the richness of Christian revelation for new approaches
attractive ideas: "If Christianity is to survive it will have to offer something that is personally transforming and existentially plausible
if it is to appeal to the new cultural landscapes that await in the future" (Alister E
After the fall of Constantinople and the loss of the Byzantine Empire
musicians and writers sprang up in the western world
in the light of the richness of classical Greek and Latin literature
revived the idea of a civilization built on human dignity
Followers of Marsilio Ficino and of the Neoplatonic current
which he tried to recover to put in dialogue with Christianity
as well as the theology of Augustinian interiorization
focusing their interest on the definition of dignity associated with the incarnation and not so much with creation
The anthropological conception adopted by these philosophical currents invited to contemplate the person in his capacity to live the union with God
but focusing not so much on the origin of the person and his dignity
on the capacity to develop this faculty of mystical encounter with God
Many treatises on anthropology were written in those years and
man was placed as the measure of all things
"Dignity of man" is the title of a work by Pico de la Mirandola (1486) and also by Ferran Perez de la Oliva (1546)
The entry of the Renaissance and humanism into the universities led to a rectification of that pagan humanism widely spread in all the refined courts of Europe
with too many traces of Stoic philosophy and Machiavelli
In this context of reform of the Church - which embraced the religious orders and congregations as well as the regular and secular clergy
all the people of God - an interior transformation was also promoted
which would culminate in the new version of the Vulgate: the Sixtus-Clementine
The summit of Christian humanism will be the documents of the Council of Trent and its pastoral expressions: the seminaries
Pius V and the Roman Catechism or the Catechism of parish priests
Precisely, in a few months we will celebrate the V centenary of the beginning of the magisterium of Francisco de Vitoria at the Faculty of Theology of the University of Salamanca. Both he and his early disciples, Domingo de SotoMelchor Cano
will form a pleiad of teachers who will influence all the universities of Europe and America
bringing a single spirit and a new way of doing theology: that of the School of Salamanca
Among other works that are being published, I would like to mention the one we have recently published with León Gómez Rivas, professor at the Universidad Europea en Sekotia Editionswhere its origin and development can be found in detail
was the origin of a true school of theologians
theological and moral challenges of the time
caused by the irruption of Protestantism with its various currents
colonization and evangelization of America
and the economic and social consequences of the first globalization
It is interesting to dwell a little on the significance of the School of Salamanca
since it is commonplace to attribute to them the foundation of international law and to have opposed the titles wielded by Charles V for his presence in America
It is a theological and juridical school because they based all their arguments
lessons and opinions on the concept of the dignity of the human person
Not only with the capacity to make moral decisions
but truly as children of God and endowed with juridical and theological personality
both those who freely adhered to the Christian faith and those who did not
The consequences are immense: the freedom and responsibility to face the economy and globalize it
the elimination of economic obstacles and fears to commercial activity
the effort to reduce the fiscal burdens of kings and municipal corporations
Perhaps the reading of this book will serve to understand more deeply the characteristics of Christian humanism
so that we can affirm that Vitoria's spirit has remained latent until now

Vitoria was known among his students at Salamanca for his direct, simple, and clear style, in contrast to the convoluted Scholastic method that predominated in university teaching at the time.
It was bitterly cold, but the sun was shining, and the campus buzzed with anticipation. From his chair, the master began to deliver the brilliant lecture that would alter the course of the history of law.
Following a rationalist, logical and scientific approach, characteristic of the Scholastic style, Vitoria addressed the university faculty with rigorous clarity, in an enormously pedagogical and accessible tone. He chose a topic of pressing relevance: the rights of indigenous peoples to the lands of America.
At this point, the classroom was in complete silence, trying to absorb ideas that were new to the world.
After examining and refuting the titles that claimed to justify this and other conquests, he established a series of fundamental principles on justice, freedom and equality.
The conclusion was unequivocal: all empires are illicit and unjust in light of the law of nations. With a single statement, Vitoria rejected the legitimacy of the Castilian empire from his chair in Salamanca, at the height of imperial power. "The Indian aborigines are not barred from the exercise of true dominion," he assured, which means that no nation has the right to expand its dominion over other nations through force or conquest.
The sun was high when Vitoria finished his lecture. Such words had never been heard in the universities of the old continent. That day, Salamanca became the center of the world. Vitoria let students and professors draw their own conclusions about solidarity among peoples and an international community where nations had mutual obligations and duties.
The students carried their elderly master back on his chair to the Convent of San Esteban and left him seated in the cloister, discussing these and many other ideas. Vitoria died a few years later and did not leave his lectures in writing. Once again, it was his students who, using the notes they had taken in his classes, edited and published them in two volumes in 1557 to preserve that legacy and ensure that his thought continued to influence contemporary theology, philosophy, and law.
Nearly five centuries have passed since that friar declared that there had been no discovery and that the Native Americans were the sole and true owners of America. And yet, we still celebrate Columbus Day, which endorses the doctrine of discovery and its inherent theses. The professor deserved better students.

Nursing professor visits communities across the globe to understand maternal mental health's impact on child development.
Clariana Vitoria Ramos de Oliveira is an assistant professor in the School of Nursing. Standing in the Lied Library, the former ballet instructor says her mother always encouraged her to pursue her education and states that a library, "for me, it's a place that is liberating and creates new opportunities." (Becca Schwartz/UNLV)
“I found my place on the map,” Clariana Vitoria Ramos de Oliveira said when she spent nearly two weeks working with families in a rural county in Tanzania.
Ramos was a postdoctoral researcher at Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health when she and a group of researchers visited Africa an initiative that focused on educating and supporting parents to enhance child development. The experience overturned one assumption she had about nursing for vulnerable populations.
Ramos graduated with a Bachelor of Science in Nursing and a master’s in epidemiology from the Federal University of Rio Grande in Brazil. She earned her doctoral degree at the University of São Paulo with a scholarship to study for one year as a visiting graduate student at Harvard University. Her research examines maternal mental health and its impact on child development, particularly with vulnerable families.
I had this dream to travel the world, and people mentioned exchange programs to study abroad in a different country. I started looking for Ph.D. programs in England and volunteer opportunities. I found a program with an opportunity to volunteer on a project to develop a hospital in the Middle East. They needed a nurse to build the hospital, which was meant to support refugee moms and children in need. I thought, “Sign me in!”
It was wonderful because I felt like I really found my place on the map. I didn't have the opportunity to go to the Middle East and develop the hospital, but at the same time, I had the opportunity to find other places to help people in different countries.
It was an incredible experience. We worked alongside community health workers, helping educate families about parenting and child development to better support parents. In Tanzania, the people were incredibly warm, gentle, and friendly. They were in a very rural area and it took about four to six hours to get there, but so many moms came all the way to have us check on their babies.
But, we imagine that we are going there to help because they are exposed to so many vulnerabilities, lack resources, and are doing the best with what they have. For me, it was the opposite. They helped me to see the other side of parenthood and how vulnerability can create community as well. They didn't have much, but they were sharing a lot and supporting each other.
It changed my life. When I came back, I already wanted to go back and stay there.
I grew up in Brazil, raised by a single mom who was a teacher. She often told me that the one thing she could give me and leave for me was an education. From a young age, she encouraged me to dedicate my time to my studies and think about going to university. She was always there to support me.
When I was about 7 or 8 years old, my grandfather had cancer. We would have nurses in our house, and I would see them doing some procedures on my grandfather. So, I decided, OK, I want to go to nursing school. I want to work as a nurse.
Dance. I may not look like a ballerina anymore, but I once taught ballet to children as a volunteer in Brazil.
I love libraries, and I love our library here. I also love Xan Goodman, our Health Sciences librarian. The library was the second place I visited when I first came to UNLV. It’s an inspiring place. Books, reading, and studying – I would say that saved my life. My mom encouraged me to study and read. So for me, it's a place that is liberating and creates new opportunities. It's a way to find your freedom and your passion.
I would say, believe in yourself. Sometimes when you're young, you start thinking and look at your neighbor's progress and think that people are so far away from you, and you don't concentrate on your own skills. And so, I would say to the young Clariana, believe in yourself. My mom believed in me a lot, but sometimes I didn't and I would doubt my skills and in myself.
Look for opportunities. The opportunities are there, but you need to find them. My mentor told me something that stuck, “Out of out of sight, out of mind.” If you show up, if you speak up, people will remember you. We are observing all the time as faculty, so be present.

CMA CGM Vitoria was acquired by the CMA CGM Group in 2022
built in 2008 and previously registered under the Maltese flag
As part of its entry into the Indian registry
the vessel will be fully crewed by Indian nationals and classified under the Indian Registry of Shipping
The registration was facilitated by India’s Directorate General of Shipping
This makes CMA CGM the first foreign shipping line to register a containerised vessel within India’s International Financial Services Centre (IFSC) at Gujarat International Finance Tec (GIFT) City
The company plans to transfer three more vessels to the Indian flag in the coming months
with the same 2,592 TEU capacity and built in 2009
Sources reported that CMA CGM is “testing the waters” with these registrations
This initiative follows a high-level meeting between Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi and CMA CGM officials during his visit to the company’s headquarters in Marseille earlier this year
the Group had expressed interest in registering ships in India and exploring opportunities in Indian shipbuilding and repair services
India’s Shipping Corporation is the only domestic operator of Indian-flagged containerships
owning three small boxships and a fourth on charter
Foreign companies such as BW LPG and Mitsui OSK Lines have also flagged several gas and oil tankers in India
but CMA CGM is the first major player to flag a container vessel
The Group runs 19 weekly maritime services connecting India to international trade routes
It is also investing in infrastructure at key Indian ports
including Nhava Sheva Freeport Terminal near Mumbai and Mundra Port
The company recently opened a crew management office in Mumbai and has set up an Indian subsidiary to support its growing fleet operations in the country
runs operations across 105 sites in 31 Indian cities
managing nearly 900,000 square meters of warehouse space
The acquisition of Stellar Value Chain Solutions in 2023 has further strengthened CEVA’s capabilities in contract logistics
bringing global expertise to enhance operational performance in India
CMA CGM has also shown interest in supporting the India-Middle East-Europe Economic Corridor (IMEC) project and aims to use its logistics and maritime strength to contribute to the corridor’s growth

Metrics details
This work reports the data obtained by the multidisciplinary cruise CORE-VTRCC surveying on the region around the Vitória-Trindade Ridge (VTR) aboard the vessel NHo Cruzeiro do Sul (October 18th to November 6th
The main objectives of the VTRCC Cruise were (1) to assess the role of the VTR as an oceanographic barrier for bottom currents along the Brazilian margin; and (2) to characterize the morphology of the volcanic seamounts and its relationships with the carbonate sediments that cover it
high-resolution multichannel seismic survey
and seafloor sampling along the VTR and along the Columbia Deepwater Channel
The raw dataset was processed for quality control and organized for public access
additional geophysical processing occurred to improve data quality
Seafloor samples are characterized based on the concentration of its biofacies
the sediment grain-sizes and the morphology of rhodoliths sampled
The dataset reveals comprehensively the geological and oceanographic heterogeneity of the region around the VTR
Data acquired during the CORE-VTRCC Cruise
(a) Multibeam bathymetry survey occurred throughout the vessel track with the exception of shallow depths (<100 m)
Seafloor samples were acquired atop the Columbia Seamount (V01 and V02)
atop the Davis Bank (V05 and V06) and atop the Jaseur Seamount
(b) Sub-bottom and sound velocity profiles were also acquired throughout the cruise track but not at <100 m depths
(c) Multichannel Sparker Seismic data was acquired along the Columbia Channel (L01-L03)
along the VTR (L07-L15) and at the Rio de Janeiro continental slope (L17)
(d) Marine magnetometry was acquired throughout the survey track when sea conditions were safe
High resolution sub-bottom profiler data were acquired employing an SBP-120 from Kongsberg installed in the hull of the ship
Survey geometry came from a SeaPath 330 positioning system with two GNSS antennas without differential positioning
Acquisition occurred in the Kongsberg SIS software with the ellipsoid WGS-84 and a UTM projection with zone 25S
The equipment was operated with one main channel
which results in a maximum vertical resolution ~0.3 ms
The data was logged in Topas raw format and converted to SEG-Y format
The power of the SBP pulse and trigger interval varied along the survey depending on ocean conditions and seafloor depth
Survey velocities ranged between 4–7 knots
Sound velocities were then incorporated during the multibeam bathymetry acquisition directly into the SIS software
Multibeam bathymetry preprocessing was performed on the software CARIS HIPS from Teledyne during the expedition
A Patch Test calibration of the echosounder was done atop the Columbia Seamount on October 26th
heading and the time delay were calibrated
The corrected values from the Patch Test were then inserted into the processing procedure
spike removal and surface equalization processing were performed with the software EIVA NaviModel Producer after the expedition
The SeaSPY magnetometer from Marine Magnetics was used to acquire the magnetic field data
The sensor (torpedo) was towed 250 m behind the vessel and 300 m from the vessel’s GPS
The SeaSPY magnetometer is a Proton Precession (Overhauser) sensor of absolute accuracy
and the resolution of the system is 0.1 nT and 0.001 nT
The data was acquired in a 10 Hz frequency
from the continental slope to the furthest point from the continent
The frequency resulted in measurements for every meter traveled
with the sensor about 30 to 35 m below the sea level
The survey also occurred in parallel to the seismic survey
the data had low-quality/high-noise measurements removed and was filtered using a non-linear filter of 10 fiducials to eliminate spikes from the data
The quality approved field was reduced using the International Geomagnetic Reference Field (IGRF) to correct long-wavelength effects non-related to crustal features
The resulting Total Magnetic Field was finally filtered using a first-order polynomial filter to highlight medium- to short-wavelength anomalies related to the VTR
producing the Residual Magnetic Field surveyed by the cruise
Microscopic photographs were taken with a Zeiss Stemi DV4 stereomicroscope
at zoom scale of 8x and a total diameter of 26 mm
Grains were then classified in carbonate debris
and its abundance was quantified based on 300 random point counts per sample
method (Subbottom Profiler – SBP) and line number
Bin sizes were then determined to optimize the fold number in the stacked section
noise modeling) may be performed to further improve data results
technical limitations of using a short streamer result in a difficulty of properly imaging surfaces/areas with a high gradient
particularly along the continental slope and seamounts
where the seismic traces are often distorted and do not represent the regional stratigraphy
The initial and final masses were measured and when those values had a >10% difference

Flamengo won their first match in the Brasileirão-2025.
Playing at Barradão, Filipe Luís's team defeated Carpini's Vitória 2-1 this Sunday (6).
There was a toe-poke goal and a bizarre expulsion during a goal celebration.
Flamengo took control of the game from the start.
They had two great chances in less than ten minutes - thanks to Gerson and Cebolinha.
Meanwhile, Vitória, completely dominated, couldn't pose any threat when they had possession.
Flamengo, who sought so much in the first half, relied on Arrascaeta's quality to score.
After dispossessing Janderson, he beat Arcanjo with a toe-poke finish (62').
In the best "style" of Ronaldo or Romário.
The lead made the visiting team adopt a less intense posture.
And Vitória took advantage. With a deflection off Gerson, Wellington Rato equalized (77').
The sequence saw Carpini's expulsion, who celebrated his number 10's goal by kicking one of the balls on the sidelines. And saw red.
Flamengo just needed to accelerate again to justify their better performance. And the quality of their squad.
A cross from Luiz Araújo, an attempted clearance by Lucas Halter, and a goal from the decisive Bruno Henrique (87').
Flamengo reached four points. And closes the G-6.
Meanwhile, Vitória remains with zero points. And in the Z-4.
They will play again in the BR-2025 on Sunday (13).
Leão will visit Atlético at Arena MRV. While Fla will face Grêmio at the Arena.
But both will have commitments in Conmebol tournaments before that.
On Wednesday (9), Filipe Luís's team will host Central Córdoba for the second round of Group C in the Libertadores.
And on Thursday (10), Carpini's team will face Defensa y Justicia on Argentine soil.

Wolves manager Vitor Pereira has made no secret of his intentions to strengthen the midfield during the January transfer window. Pereira’s comments underline the urgency of this need, particularly with Mario Lemina reportedly set to depart for Saudi Arabia in the coming weeks. “It’s vital we reinforce in midfield,” Pereira said. “We’ve identified players who can bring quality and balance to the team.”
Manu Silva appears to be a prime candidate for this role. Known as ‘Manu,’ the 22-year-old has featured prominently for Vitoria SC, making 28 appearances across all competitions this season, including in the UEFA Europa Conference League. Since joining Vitoria from Feirense in 2023, Silva has racked up 50 appearances, showcasing his durability and consistency.
Picture:IMAGOThe Potential £10 Million DealReports suggest that Wolves are prepared to table a £10 million bid for Silva. Such a fee represents a significant investment but aligns with the club’s long-term strategy of recruiting young, talented players capable of adapting to the rigours of Premier League football.
Pereira’s approach seems clear: replace the outgoing Lemina with a younger, more dynamic option. Silva’s ability to read the game, break up opposition play, and distribute effectively could make him an ideal fit for Wolves’ midfield. His experience in Portugal’s top flight, coupled with his exposure to European competition, suggests he could adapt quickly to English football.
Silva’s style of play revolves around defensive solidity and composure on the ball. He’s been praised for his tackling ability and positional awareness, traits that Wolves desperately need in the absence of a seasoned defensive midfielder. His former manager at Feirense described him as “a player who never stops learning and improving. He’s mature beyond his years.”
This maturity is evident in Silva’s performances, where he often dictates the tempo from deep midfield positions. His statistics this season highlight his influence, with a high pass completion rate and several key interceptions per match. For Wolves, who have struggled at times to control the midfield, Silva’s arrival could be transformative.
Picture:IMAGOChallenges to the MoveDespite the positives, there are potential challenges to the deal. Negotiating with Vitoria SC may prove complex, particularly if other clubs express interest in Silva. Furthermore, adapting to the Premier League’s physicality and pace can be daunting for players transitioning from the Portuguese league.
However, Wolves’ record of integrating Portuguese players under the influence of their strong ties to the country could work in Silva’s favour. With Pereira at the helm, the club appears well-positioned to make the most of this connection.
The timing of this potential transfer is crucial. Wolves are currently navigating a congested fixture schedule, and securing Silva early in the window could provide much-needed reinforcements. His arrival would not only address immediate needs but also align with the club’s broader strategy of developing players with resale value.
As Wolves fans await further developments, it’s clear that the club’s ambitions extend beyond short-term fixes. Manu Silva’s potential signing represents a forward-thinking approach aimed at laying a foundation for sustained success.
From a Wolves supporter’s perspective, the potential acquisition of Manu Silva offers a mix of excitement and cautious optimism. With Mario Lemina’s departure seemingly imminent, the need for a robust defensive midfielder is glaringly obvious. Silva’s age, skill set, and European experience tick all the right boxes, making him an enticing prospect.
However, there’s always a risk when signing players from outside the Premier League. Adapting to the league’s intensity has tripped up many promising talents in the past. Wolves fans may wonder if Silva can immediately impact or if he will require a bedding-in period. “We need someone who can hit the ground running,” one supporter remarked on social media, capturing the sentiment of many.
On the flip side, Wolves’ strong connections to Portuguese football offer reassurance. Pereira’s familiarity with the league and Silva’s potential fit within the squad provide hope that this could be a seamless transition. Additionally, the reported £10 million fee appears reasonable in today’s inflated market, especially for a player with Silva’s ceiling.
While the jury remains out on whether this deal will materialise, Wolves supporters can take heart in the club’s proactive approach. Silva’s arrival could signal a new chapter, one where the team builds for the future while addressing immediate needs. For now, all eyes remain on Molineux and Vitoria SC, as fans wait to see if this intriguing transfer rumour becomes a reality.

The first January transfer of 2025 looks to be on the cusp of being official
Help in defense looks like it’s on the way for Thiago Motta and Juventus
According to reports from the likes of Romeo Agresti on ilbianconero.com and Fabrizio Romano giving it the “Here we go!” status
Juventus and Portuguese side Vitoria Guimaraes have agreed to a deal for fullback Alberto Costa
The total package is worth up to €15 million
with Juventus paying an initial €12.5 million fee for the 21-year-old right back and another €2.5 million in add-ons
The deal picked up serious steam over the weekend
with Juventus and Vitoria advancing in negotiations early Sunday after word that Costa had rejected other offers from the likes of the Premier League and Serie A came out
It’s still a bit of an unknown when Costa will arrive in Turin to undergo his medicals and sign his contract with Juventus
Juventus will soon have another defender to add to their ranks during a time in which Motta has been essentially had the bare minimum of players available at the back for the better part of the last four or six weeks
director Cristiano Giuntoli is expected to make to aide a defense that has been absolutely zapped of any depth with the season-ending injuries to Gleison Bremer and Juan Cabal as well as the recent falling out with Danilo
it means Nicolo Savona — who has been asked to play a whole lot more than anybody expected when he was first promoted from the Next Gen squad — will have a little more depth again at right back
allow Andrea Cambiaso to go back to being a full-time left back once he’s fully fit again
with Weston McKennie also available in a pinch if necessary
Costa has a goal and a pair of assists and has played 1,289 minutes across 18 appearances in all competitions
Four of those appearances have come in the UEFA Conference League group stage
including a start against Fiorentina on Dec
All nine of his last nine appearances have been starts in which he’s played the full 90 minutes
with the last five of those starts being draws
so he’s already good to go for this current version of Juventus.)

Juventus have confirmed that they will pay Vitoria a fee of 12.5m over four installments
There will also be 1.3m in auxiliary costs
Alberto Costa has put pen to paper on a four-and-a-half year contract
He will wear the no.2 shirt for the remainder of the 2024-25 season
Alberto Costa is Juve’s first signing of the January transfer window, but he is not expected to be the last. France international Randal Kolo Muani is also on his way over from France
and is expected to have a medical with the Bianconeri on Thursday ahead of his loan move from PSG
Following long-term injuries to Bremer and Juan Cabal earlier in the season
Thiago Motta’s side are looking at adding two defenders to their ranks in January
which means that there could still be another deal to be done for Cristiano Giuntoli and his team
Juventus have made their first signing of the January transfer window
As Juventus headed into their first weekend of Serie A action for 2025
it felt like help was on the way to try and alleviate the defensive depth crunch that Thiago Motta has had to deal with for the better part of the last three months
All of a few days later and by the time midweek arrived
the first piece of help was indeed getting off a private jet
waving for the cameras and stepping foot in J Medical
Juventus announced Wednesday evening that 21-year-old Portuguese fullback Alberto Costa has completed his move to Turin from Vitoria Guimaraes for an initial fee of €12.5 million
Worked into the deal for Costa are another €2.5 million in bonuses as well as €1.3 million in ancillary costs
has signed a contract with Juventus through 2029 and has been praised in the official announcement as somebody who has the “ability to read defensive situations
combined with a good sense of positioning and willingness to push forward.”
We’re going to find that out in what feels like relatively short order
15 January 2025 – Juventus Football Club S.p.A
announces that an agreement with Vitória Sport Clube for the definitive acquisition of the registration rights of the player Alberto Oliveira Baio has been reached for a consideration of € 12.5 million
with the addition of ancillary costs up to € 1.3 million
bonuses up to a maximum of € 2.5 million are envisaged upon the achievement of further performance objectives
Juventus and the player have signed a contract of employment until 30 June 2029
2 jersey since our beloved Mattia De Sciglio left Juventus last summer
has made 10 league appearances in the Portuguese Primeira Liga
and is the second-youngest player in Portugal to record at least two assists this season
His playing time has certainly seen a major uptick of late
with most of his seven domestic starts coming over the last six weeks
Juventus will have another option at right back and be able to give another 21-year-old
a bit of a respite after playing a huge amount of minutes the last two months
Due to injuries and Danilo first seeing his role reduced and then ultimate completely removed from the squad
Savona has played much more than anybody thought he would when he first got promoted from the Next Gen setup
Costa will certainly provide a different look on the right than Savona
ensure that the young Italian won’t have to play every single time Juventus take the field

Conference League | Vitoria SC 1-1 Fiorentina: Mandragora to the rescueFootball ItaliaDecember 19, 2024 at 10:00 PM UTC·2 min readFiorentina fought back to claim a 1-1 draw away against Vitoria SC in the Conference League
as Rolando Mandragora rescued a late point for La Viola
You can see how it unfolded on the Football Italia LIVEBLOG.
Vitoria had the better chances of the first half
and could have been two or three up had they better capitalised on their opportunities in front of goal
Vitoria de Guimaraes´s Joao Mendes (R) in action against Fiorentina´s Christian Kouame during the UEFA Conference League soccer match held at D.Afonso Henriques Stadium
EPA-EFE/HUGO DELGADOIt was Gustavo Silva who put the hosts in front
Fiorentina gave the ball away in their centre-circle
were beaten on the break and the Portuguese striker just had to turn the ball in on the goalline after receiving a well-placed low ball across the face of goal
Gustavo Silva could have made it 2-0 before half-time
but flashed an effort over from just six yards out when Terracciano was on the floor having just made a save
Vitoria continued to threaten long into the second half as well
Kaio Cesar and Gustavo Silva both threatened with powerful shots at Terracciano’s net
but couldn’t quite get any of them to hit the back of the net
Fiorentina left it late to find their equaliser
They launcehsd a second phase of an attack after a corner
which resulted in Dodo firing a low ball across the face of Bruno Valera’s goal
but Mandragora was alert at the back post to turn it in for 1-1
There was a scramble in the area in the final seconds of penalty area as Kean tried to turn in a winner
but the referee eventually blew after a series of fould in the box
The result of tonight’s game sends both teams down one position in the Conference League standings
while Fiorentina claim fourth position with a tally of 13
As it proved, the home faithful were quickly stunned into silence when Cedric Bakambu slotted the ball through Bruno Varela’s legs after he had rolled the challenge of Toni Borevkovic
Betis would have been far from comfortable despite netting an early goal
especially after they gave up the lead on two occasions in last week’s 2-2 draw in Spain
With that in mind, the travelling faithful would have breathed a sigh of relief when Bakambu doubled the advantage in the 20th minute, heading home from Aitor Ruibal’s clipped pass to round off a slick attacking move
Vitoria made a purposeful start to the second period
forcing Betis to weather a period of pressure at the Estadio D
However, just as the hosts were building up a head of steam, the visitors launched an incisive counter-attack to put the tie to bed courtesy of Antony’s fourth goal since joining the club in January
The Manchester United loanee latched onto Isco’s intelligent through ball
before driving into the box to drill the ball past Varela at the near post
Antony then helped apply the finishing touches to a memorable away trip, bursting away from Mikel Villanueva before teeing up Isco for a simple finish to pile the misery on Vitoria in their first home defeat since September
Manuel Pellegrini’s charges will move on to a quarter-final clash against Polish side Jagiellonia Bialystok

Conference League: Vitoria SC vs. Fiorentina – Confirmed line-upsFootball ItaliaDecember 19, 2024 at 7:30 PM UTC·1 min readRaffaele Palladino has decided to rest leading goalscorer Moise Kean for Fiorentina’s Conference League match against Vitoria SC on Thursday evening
as the third-place Viola take on the second-highest ranked team in the competition
You can follow the action as it unfolds on the Football Italia LIVEBLOG.
Palladino has made a series of alterations to his team
swapping out David De Gea for cup ‘keeper Pietro Terracciano
Dodo and Pietro Comuzzo keep their places at the back
but Luca Ranieri and Robin Gosens are replaced by Lucas Martinez Quarta and Fabiano Parisi
There is a first start in the Conference League for Albert Gudmundsson
who is expected to start up front in the absence of Kean
Lucas Beltran will be supporting him along with Jonathan Ikone and Christian Kouame

Vitória de Guimarães’ UEFA Conference League campaign came to a close in the round of 16 after a 4-0 defeat against Real Betis at Estádio Dom Afonso Henriques
The Spanish side took the lead in the 5th minute when defensive errors allowed Cédric Bakambu to surge into the box and beat Bruno Varela
The 33-year-old doubled the advantage in the 20th minute when he headed Aitor Ruibal’s deflected cross into the net
Vitória fashioned their first chance in the 40th minute and showed some promise after the break
but the tie was over in the 58th minute when Isco released Antony who found the bottom corner
Antony repaid the favour with ten minutes remaining
presenting Isco with a golden opportunity that he accepted with ease
It was a disappointing result for the Conquerors who earned a 2-2 draw in the first leg
but they were ultimately outclassed on and off the pitch and can have no complaints
Real Betis got off to a fast start in Guimarães and took the lead in the 5th minute
Mikel Villanueva came out of the defensive line and Toni Borevković mistimed an interception
Cédric Bakambu racing into the box and slotting the ball through Bruno Varela’s legs
The Spanish side sustained their supremacy and doubled the lead in the 20th minute
collected a pass from Isco and rolled the ball through to Aitor Ruibal
his deflected cross sitting up perfectly for Bakambu who headed the ball into the net
Vitória created their first shot in the 40th minute when Fran Vieites slapped João Mendes’ effort away from goal
Nélson Oliveira firing the follow up well wide
Luís Freire made two substitutions at half-time
overhauling his right edge with Miguel Maga and Telmo Arcanjo replacing Hevertton Santos and Úmaro Embaló
The switches almost paid off with Guimarães enjoying their best spell of the game
Maga firing over the bar and seeing another effort deflected wide by Marc Bartra
The positivity was short lived with the Spanish side making it 3-0 in the 58th minute
Isco released Antony who broke clear and took advantage of a statuesque Borevković
the Brazilian measuring a low drive into the bottom corner
Arcanjo and Nuno Santos sent efforts over the bar but Guimarães were caught on the break in the 80th minute when the rout was completed
the winger speeding past Villanueva and returning the favour for Isco who made no mistake
Vitória de Guimarães cruised through the Conference League qualifiers and went unbeaten in six group matches
earning a 1-1 draw in their toughest game against Fiorentina
They drew the short straw with Real Betis, one of the strongest teams left in the competition, but confidence was high in Portugal after the Conquerors earned a credible 2-2 draw in the first leg at Estadio Benito Villamarín
That confidence was shattered after 20 minutes in Guimarães
and despite a brief spell of pressure after the break
there was only one team advancing to the quarter-finals
Manuel Pellegrini has been around the block a few more times than Luís Freire and it showed
the 71-year-old learning from the match in Sevilla and making the necessary adjustments to shut down Guimarães’ avenues towards goal
Isco was the class player on paper and so it proved on the pitch
the playmaker simply too smart and too good
Mikel Villanueva and Toni Borevković may have had their worst performances of the season
In the end it was a disappointing evening for the Guimarães faithful who filled Estádio Dom Afonso Henriques but were unable to see their side reach a second European quarter-final
Once the dust settles the result will be easier to digest
and pride will be the primary emotion that persists
