“End Of The Road: Chelsea Confirms Alejandro Garnacho Open For Permanent Exit”.
New Chelsea manager Xabi Alonso has confirmed that the club is in talks regarding the potential departure of Alejandro Garnacho. Speaking during his first press conference, Alonso noted that several clubs have expressed interest in the 22-year-old, and the team is working toward a solution that satisfies all parties.....KINDLY READ THE FULL STORY HERE▶
-
Training Absence: To avoid disrupting team preparations for the upcoming 2026/27 season, Garnacho has been granted permission to stay away from first-team training while he evaluates his future.
-
Transfer Preference: Chelsea is prioritizing a permanent sale over a loan move, as the club looks to reshape its squad and manage its finances.
-
Interested Clubs: Alongside Roma, other Serie A sides—including AC Milan, Juventus, and Napoli—are monitoring the winger.
-
Manchester United’s Stake: Because of a 10% sell-on clause included in his original £40m transfer last summer, Manchester United is set to receive a portion of any fee Chelsea secures for the player.
-
Strategic Overhaul: Garnacho’s exit is part of a broader restructuring effort by Alonso, who recently replaced Mauricio Pochettino with the goal of returning Chelsea to European competition.
Garnacho’s potential departure comes after a difficult debut season at Stamford Bridge where he scored only one Premier League goal, a struggle that reportedly contributed to him missing out on Argentina’s 2026 World Cup squad. While Alonso has publicly committed to keeping players like Enzo Fernández, he has signaled that the team is “starting from zero” and is ready to move on from Garnacho as they push for future success.
The Defence Headquarters has officially denied reports that United States forces independently seized a large cache of electronic intelligence materials from terrorists during a mission in Nigeria. Brig. Gen. Samalia Uba, the Director of Defence Information, clarified that these materials were voluntarily supplied to the U.S. by the Nigerian government as part of an established counter-terrorism partnership.....KINDLY READ THE FULL STORY HERE▶
-
Nature of the Intelligence: The materials consisted of declassified information derived from previous counter-terrorism operations conducted by the Nigerian Armed Forces, rather than being “captured” by American personnel.
-
Official Clarification: Brig. Gen. Uba stated that this intelligence exchange is a routine aspect of the ongoing security collaboration between the two nations and does not represent a new, independent U.S. operation.
-
U.S. Claims: The confusion stemmed from comments by Sebastian Gorka, a senior U.S. official, who claimed that American forces recovered a record-breaking volume of electronic intelligence—reportedly three times larger than any haul since the September 11, 2001 attacks—during a raid that also resulted in the deaths of 199 jihadists.
-
Government Stance: The Ministry of Foreign Affairs, represented by spokesperson Kimiebi Ebienfa, defended the data-sharing arrangement as a necessary measure to help U.S. authorities better comprehend terrorist operations within Nigeria.
-
Strategic Focus: Ebienfa emphasized that the Federal Government is primarily focused on resolving internal security threats and does not feel the need to publicly disclose every facet of its foreign security cooperation.
The controversy follows a joint Nigeria-U.S. operation in May that successfully eliminated a senior Islamic State West Africa Province (ISWAP) commander. Additionally, following the mission, both the U.S. and Nigeria imposed sanctions on a Lagos-based bureau de change operator and several companies accused of facilitating financial transactions for ISWAP.
The Supreme Court has issued a new mandate for legal practitioners with cases, appeals, or motions scheduled for hearing between September and December 2026.

-
Directive Basis: This instruction aligns with Rule 10(1) of the Supreme Court Practice Direction, 2026.
-
Accessing Schedules: Counsel are advised to check the hearing schedule for these months by visiting the Supreme Court website, navigating to the “Litigation” section, and selecting the NCMS to download the list.
-
Upload Deadline: Lawyers are required to upload all existing processes—including Briefs of Argument, Records of Appeal, and pending motions—at least 30 days prior to their scheduled hearing date.
-
Purpose: This initiative is designed to ensure strict compliance with practice directions, optimize the NCMS, and facilitate the efficient and speedy resolution of cases.

Chief Justice of Nigeria, Justice Kudirat Kekere-Ekun, previously announced the adoption of electronic case filing during the official launch of the NCMS in Abuja, marking a definitive end to manual filing processes at the Supreme Court.
Andrew Giuliani, who serves as President Donald Trump’s representative for matters concerning the World Cup, expressed support for the Three Lions during an interview with the Daily Mail. He noted that since the U.S. is celebrating its 250th anniversary, an English victory would create a “great storyline” and a “beautiful victory” to celebrate during the milestone year. Giuliani further emphasized his belief in the squad’s potential, stating that England remains one of the top teams left in the competition.....KINDLY READ THE FULL STORY HERE▶
Beyond the diplomatic support, Giuliani noted that President Trump has been actively following the progress of England captain Harry Kane. The connection between the two figures includes a round of golf played in Florida in late 2024, which Kane described as a “surreal experience” while praising the President’s golfing ability. Giuliani also highlighted President Trump’s long-standing interest in the sport, referencing a previous round of golf involving Trump and former England captain Wayne Rooney.
