🚨 Joseph Nyoni Trey Nyoni’s father on his conversations with Andoni Iraola and FSG over Liverpool’s new contract: 🎙️ Interviewer: “There have been reports of advanced talks over a new Liverpool contract for Trey. Have you spoken with Andoni Iraola and the club’s ownership? Joseph Nyoni: “Yes, we’ve had positive conversations. I have spoken with people at the club, and what has impressed me most is how clearly they understand Trey’s development. Andoni Iraola has been very honest about what he sees in my son and what he wants him to become. “He doesn’t just see a young player who can come off the bench. He sees a midfielder who can become an important part of Liverpool’s future. He has given Trey responsibility, trusted him in difficult matches and challenged him to improve. “That means a lot to a family. We don’t expect special treatment, but we want to see a manager who genuinely believes in our son’s ability. Interviewer: “Was the family uncertain about Trey’s future before Iraola arrived? Joseph Nyoni: “I’ll be honest, there were moments when we weren’t entirely sure what the long-term pathway would look like. Under Arne Slot, Trey was developing, but the opportunities and the level of responsibility were not quite what we are seeing now. “We understood that he was young and needed patience. But there’s a difference between telling a young player he has potential and actually giving him opportunities to prove it. “Andoni has done that. He has shown Trey that age is not a barrier if you are good enough, prepared to work and willing to learn. Interviewer: “What has Iraola specifically told you about your son’s future? Joseph Nyoni: “His message has been very encouraging. He wants Trey to become more complete, stronger physically, more consistent and more influential in midfield. “He has explained that he doesn’t want to rush his development, but he also doesn’t want to hold him back. That balance is important. “When a manager trusts your son against top-level opposition, gives him meaningful minutes and continues to work on his weaknesses, you begin to understand that there is a genuine plan. Interviewer: “And what about FSG? Are you confident an agreement will be reached? Joseph Nyoni: “The conversations have been positive. We want Trey to feel valued, and we want the club to recognise the progress he has made. “Liverpool is a massive club. My son has grown here, and we understand what wearing that shirt means. We aren’t looking for empty promises or headlines. We want a clear sporting project. “There was a time when we had questions about what the future would look like. Today, those doubts are much smaller because we can see the direction, the trust and the opportunities. “Trey doesn’t need to leave Liverpool to become somebody. He needs the right environment to become the best version of himself. And right now, we believe Andoni Iraola is helping him do exactly that.

🚨 Rafael Leão reveals why he chose Galatasaray over other European clubs: 🎙️ Interviewer: “You had interest from several clubs, including Manchester United, Arsenal, Leeds United and Aston Villa. Why did you choose Galatasaray? Rafael Leão: “I know people expected me to choose England. Manchester United, Arsenal and Aston Villa are massive clubs, and I have enormous respect for them. But football is not always about choosing the biggest league or the most famous name. “Ever since I was a little boy, I knew about Galatasaray. I had heard about their supporters, the atmosphere and the incredible passion surrounding the club. You don’t forget a club like that. When they approached me, something about the project immediately caught my attention. Interviewer: “Was it difficult turning down the opportunity to play in the Premier League? Rafael Leão: “Of course it wasn’t an easy decision. I have always wanted to experience English football, but when I looked at Galatasaray, I saw something special. The love from the supporters, the ambition of the president and the opportunity to play alongside players like Victor Osimhen and Leroy Sané made the decision even more exciting. “Some people may question my decision, but I didn’t come here because I couldn’t play elsewhere. I came because I genuinely believe in what this club is building. Interviewer: “What do you want to achieve with Galatasaray? Rafael Leão: “I want to win everything possible. I want to hear the stadium singing my name, celebrate trophies with these supporters and create memories that will stay with us forever. “I know what this shirt means to the people. I don’t want to be remembered as another expensive signing. I want to give everything for this badge. “And to those who think I made the wrong choice because I didn’t move to England, I have one message: you don’t have to play in the Premier League to be part of something massive. Galatasaray is a giant, and I’m proud to be here.”

🚨 Unai Emery reacts to PROREF statement on Senne Lammens’ foul on Zion Suzuki during Manchester United’s controversial 4-4 draw with Aston Villa: 🎙️ Interviewer: “PROREF have now admitted that Lammens obstructed Zion Suzuki and that Patrick Dorgu’s equaliser should have been disallowed. What’s your reaction? Unai Emery: “Honestly, what are we supposed to do with this apology? They have admitted it was a clear and obvious foul. They have admitted the goal should never have stood. But where are our two points? “We were winning 4-3. We defended, we fought, we gave everything, and then one decision completely changed the outcome. The goalkeeper was obstructed, our goalkeeper was prevented from doing his job, and somehow the goal was allowed to stand. Now, after the damage is done, they release a statement telling us what everybody could see. Interviewer: “Do you believe the apology is enough? Unai Emery: “Absolutely not. An apology doesn’t change the table. It doesn’t give my players back the victory they worked for. It doesn’t repair the damage to the club or the supporters who travelled to Manchester. “And let’s be honest: if Aston Villa had scored that exact goal against Manchester United, would we be having this same conversation? Would the officials have been so comfortable allowing it? Interviewer: “What do you want to see happen next? Unai Emery: “Accountability. Not another statement, not another explanation and certainly not another apology without consequences. “Referees are allowed to make mistakes, but when VAR exists specifically to correct clear mistakes, what exactly is its purpose if incidents like this still happen? “You cannot demand that managers respect officials while officials are never properly held accountable for decisions that cost clubs points. “I respect Manchester United. They fought until the end. But don’t tell me this was simply football. PROREF have admitted the mistake themselves. We deserved better, and Aston Villa deserves an explanation beyond a few carefully written words.”
