Barcelona face having to let Konrad de la Fuente leave on loan for free in 2021, reports Mundo Deportivo.

A clause in the 19-year-old’s contract means that he can head out of Camp Nou next year if no regular game time is taken in.

Real Madrid is in talks with Sergio Ramos over a new deal for the captain.

Ramos will be out of contract at the Bernabeu next summer and he is free to talk to the overseas club about a possible move in January.

Real Madrid is reluctant to offer Ramos a two-year deal as it is against the policy of the club to offer more than a year deal to players over the age of 30.

Ramos is 34 and he remains a focal point in Zinedine Zidane set up and he recently scored for Real Madrid in the el-clasico and in the clash against Inter Milan in the Champions League.


The report in ESPN claims that Los Blancos have now ‘begun conversations’ with Ramos over extending his deal in the Spanish capital.

Ramos’ representatives have now opened talks and there is a ‘mutual desire’ for the captain to extend. The report also claims Ramos wants to stay until June 2024, meaning he would need a new three-year contract and would be at the club until he is 38.

Speaking about Ramos’s future earlier this year, club president Florentino Perez insisted that the Spain star would be going nowhere.

‘Ramos will finish his career at Madrid. He is more than a captain,’ Perez said after Real Madrid lifted the title last season.

‘He will continue as long as he wants, he knows it. As long as he wants and has the strength, and as he has strength I think he will be with us for many years.’

Ramos won 5 La Liga titles and four Champions League for Real Madrid in 650 appearances since joining in 2005 from Sevilla.

Two more men were arrested in connection with a knife attack that left three dead at a church in Nice, bringing the number of people in custody to six as investigators look at the suspected assailant’s last known contacts, a French police source said.


The latest arrests took place on Saturday, the source said.

An assailant shouting “Allahu Akbar” (God is Greatest) beheaded a woman and killed two other people in a church in Nice on Thursday, in France’s second deadly knife attack in two weeks with a suspected Islamist motive.

The suspected attacker, a 21-year-old from Tunisia, was shot by police and is now in critical condition in a hospital.

The latest arrests in the case involved two men from the town of Grasse, near the southern French coast close to Nice, BFM TV reported.

France’s chief anti-terrorism prosecutor has said the man suspected of carrying out the Nice attack had arrived in Europe on Sept. 20 in Lampedusa, the Italian island off Tunisia.

Investigators in Italy are also stepping up enquiries about the suspected assailant’s movements and contacts on the island of Sicily. They believe he may have spent time there after going from Lampedusa to Bari in early October on a ship used to quarantine migrants, judicial sources said.

In Bari, he is believed to have been handed an expulsion order obliging him to leave Italy within a week, the judicial sources said. Investigators are looking into the possibility the suspected attacker stayed in the Sicilian town of Alcamo for a 10 day period, the sources added.

Tanzanians headed to the polls on Wednesday for presidential and parliamentary elections that President John Magufuli hopes will hand him another five-year term despite criticism from rights groups that the government has stifled political dissent.


Magufuli’s main challenger, opposition leader Tundu Lissu, was shot 16 times in 2017 in what remains an unsolved case. He returned from three years in exile in July.

People turned out early to cast their ballots in the commercial capital of Dar es Salaam on Wednesday morning.

“The voting process is good, calm,” local pastor Clement Fumbo told Reuters after voting. “I expect the election to continue to be peaceful, fair and free.”

Magufuli, 60, urged voters to turn out after he cast his ballot in the capital, Dodoma.

“Let me also implore that we maintain peace as there is life after elections,” he said.

Lissu, 52, told Reuters he was getting reports of widespread irregularities and his party’s representatives were being prevented from entering polling stations.

“I am told turnout is massive,” he said. “The only worry is these irregularities…we will not accept a rigged election.”

Many Tanzanians complained they were experiencing problems accessing social media platforms.

“Authorities are now trying to block VPN services,” said ProtonVPN, an open source VPN provider, on Twitter.

On Tuesday, both Twitter and Internet blockage monitor NetBlocks reported widespread problems.

“We’re seeing some blocking and throttling of Twitter,” Twitter said in a statement from its public policy account.

In the semi-autonomous archipelago of Zanzibar, local media reported calm, after two days of unrest. Police said they used tear gas and arrested youths blocking the offloading of ballot boxes.

The opposition presidential candidate Seif Sharif Hamad was detained and later released as he tried to vote early on Tuesday.

His party ACT-Wazalendo alleged that 10 people were shot dead by police. Police on Tuesday said they had no information about any deaths.

Magufuli, nicknamed “Bulldozer” for his fondness of massive works and his reputation for getting his way despite opposition, has campaigned promising to turbocharge growth in East Africa’s third largest economy with infrastructure projects.

“We have told Tanzanians the importance of investing on transport infrastructure…for the betterment of this nation,” Magufuli said on Tuesday in Dodoma at his last rally.

Tanzania has recorded average growth of close to 7% over the last four years, according to official figures, fuelled by billions of dollars spent on infrastructure including a new railway, a hydropower dam and planes for the national airline.

The government projects economic growth of 5.5% in 2020 despite the coronavirus pandemic battering key sectors such as tourism. But the World Bank expect the economy to grow only 2.5%.

Lissu told his final rally in Dar es Salaam that he was confident of winning.

“Tanzanians are hungry and thirsty for justice,” he said.

More than 29 million people are registered to vote out of 58 million citizens. They will choose from 15 presidential candidates and elect lawmakers for 264 parliamentary seats voting in a first-past-the-post system.

The ruling party CCM, a version of which has held power since independence in 1961, won the presidency with 58% of votes in 2015 and now holds about three-quarters of parliamentary seats.

The opposition and rights groups say authorities have cracked down on critical voices by closing down media outlets and banning public rallies during Magufuli’s first term.

Last week, a coalition of 65 international rights groups issued a letter accusing the government of harassing NGOs and abusing the power of the justice system.

“Tanzania’s criminal justice system has … been misused to target those who criticize the government,” the letter read.

Opposition parties said police disrupted their campaigns and electoral authorities disqualified dozens of their parliamentary candidates.

The government has previously denied any crackdown and the National Electoral Commission has rejected accusations of unfair treatment.

The government of Oyo state has revealed that it has received up to 46 complaints on police brutality after setting up a platform for residents to report cases on assault, brutality and human rights violation by the police.


Governor Seyi Makinde who encouraged other residents of the state to also lodge their complaints, said it will be used by the Judicial Panel of Inquiry which will be setup latest by next week in their hearing.

Makinde made the announcement during a meeting with representatives of EndSARS protesters, artisans, commercial cab and motorcyclist operators and youths across the state on Tuesday October 27.

The Governor noted that the police would return to the state to maintain law and order, and further disclosed that he has approved the immediate recruitment of 1,500 personnel for the Amotekun Security Corps. It is expected that 351 political wards of the state would have Amotekun personnel who will work hand-in-hand with the police.

Walton does not work for the U.S. government or any U.S.-linked organisation, the sources said.

He has been living in Massalata for less than a year, said Ibrahim Abba Lele, prefect for the nearby town of Birnin Konni. He often walked his camels into the surrounding bush www.zummy.com.ng">, Lele said.

“They were so exposed that he was abducted without anyone knowing,” he told Reuters.

A Niger security source said aircraft had been dispatched to search for the kidnappers. Nigerien officials did not respond to requests for comment.

The police source said that the perpetrators appeared to be from the Fulani ethnic group and they spoke Hausa and some English. They asked for money and searched the house before leaving with Walton.

The rest of the family was tied up so they could not inform the authorities, Lele told Reuters, though the police source said that the family were not threatened. Authorities believe that he has been taken over the border into Nigeria, Lele said.

Attacks in Niger have generally been restricted to a western zone bordering Mali and Burkina Faso, but there have been signs of encroachment this year.

In August, gunmen killed six French aid workers, a Nigerian guide and a driver in a giraffe reserve just 65 km (40 miles) from the capital Niamey.

Massalata is a few hundred miles to the east of that region. It is also hundreds of miles from a corner of southeast Niger that has come under attack from Islamist Boko Haram militants based in Nigeria.

At least six foreign hostages are being held by Islamist insurgents in Mali, Burkina Faso and Niger. Islamists have collected millions of dollars in ransom payments in recent years. The U.S. government has frequently criticised other countries for paying.

Guardiola confirmed that Aguero will spend four more weeks on the treatment table.

When asked if the club have opened talks with Aguero over a contract renewal, he expressed his frustration over the striker’s ongoing fitness problems.

“I don’t know, I don’t want to talk about it because I am not involved with this,” Guardiola told a pre-match press conference.

“If I should be involved in contracts, maybe the day should be 48 hours, not 24! What I want is for Sergio to be fit, what I want is Sergio [to] come back again, be ready as much as possible.

“We miss him a lot. What he has done for this club is outstanding, [he] will be a legend of this club, we want to enjoy him before but it depends on his physicality and his physical condition.”

Nigerian Singer, Rudeboy has a message to the Inspector General of Police concerning the type of people being recruited into the Nigerian Police Force.
Rudeboy in a tweet he made on the 19th of October said that IG should stop recruiting illiterates.

According to him, there are thousands of unemployed graduates who are more fit for the jobs.

He advised they stop making the same mistakes.

“Dear IGP stop recruiting illiterates in the Nigerian police force ……. there are thousands of unemployed young graduates in the streets ….. y’all keep making the same mistake”

Nigerian Singer, Seun Kuti says that Police Officers should join the protest if they don’t like their salaries.
Seun Kuti in an Instagram Live spoke concerning the current #EndSars 5-for-5 demands, calling it “too weak”.

He also explained why he feels the demands are not enough. He said that Police Officers are grown adults who should fight for their rights if they are not satisfied with their salary.

“It is not the duty of Nigerians to fight for police to have better salary. If police don’t like their salary and welfare, let them strike and protest. It’s like we’re fighting for police to live a better life,” he said.

He also noted that the increment of Police Salary isn’t the solution to the problem.

“Increasing police salary will not stop police corruption. If money dey stop corruption, why our politicians still dey thief?”

Seun went on to say that it appears the average Nigerian is fighting for the issue that affects them, which is police brutality because they want to freely drive their Benz without being harassed but they do not seem to care about the problems that affect poorer Nigerians.

“SARS is not our only problem“, he affirmed, adding that NURTW boys collect money from market women, okada riders, and bus drivers every day and no one is fighting for them.

The singer said a call to end the harassment poor Nigerians face from these NURTW boys who extort money from them needs to be included in the list of demands, instead of advocating for an increase in police salary.
“Everybody is being extorted at every level in this country every day,” and which he concluded that #5for5 is “useless demands” and that no one can drag him to the current agitation because the demands are not serious enough.

English Premier League side Crystal Palace also fondly referred to as the Eagles have announced they have added one more goalkeeper to their roster.

The latest addition is Jack Butland who has joined Crystal Palace from Stoke after agreeing a three-year contract.

The 27-year-old goalkeeper renews his relationship with manager Roy Hodgson, who handed him his England debut in 2012.

Butland’s arrival at Selhurst Park marks Hodgson’s fifth signing of the transfer window.

Butland has represented the Three Lions on nine occasions but has not featured in the Premier League since he was relegated to the Championship with Stoke in 2018.

“I’m very happy that the club has managed to acquire the signature of Jack to join us and compete for a place amongst our goalkeepers at the club,” said Hodgson, who made Butland England’s youngest ever goalkeeper at 19 years and 158 days in a friendly against Italy eight years ago.

“Jack is a player that I worked with for four years at England. I’ve always believed in his potential.

“I am aware that his last spell at Stoke hasn’t been the happiest one for him but I sincerely believe that with his qualities, coming to a new club will enable him to resurrect his career and show once again what a good goalkeeper he is.”


Speaking to the Crystal Palace website, Butland added: “I am extremely happy. It has been a crazy and stressful day but I am glad to have got it over the line.

“It will be great to see and work with Roy again. He gave me the most important moment in my career and that is one I am forever grateful for.”
