Walking out, pointing skyward, Paulo Dybala’s return to the Allianz was clearly emotional. A cathedral that was home to many of his best moments in the black and white of Juventus was the host of his third match for rivals Roma. After a lap showing love for his old fans, and extra time greeting his former teammates, Dybala and Roma left Turin with a 1-1 draw.
Los Angeles FC signed forward Cristian Tello from Spain on Friday, just two days after forward Brian Rodriguez was transferred to Club America in Mexico.
Tello, 31, most recently played for Spain's Real Betis, while also winning a LaLiga title with Barcelona in 2012-13. His LAFC deal through the end of this season also includes options for 2023 and 2024.
Newcastle United have signed Alexander Isak from Real Sociedad on a long-term deal, the Premier League club said on Friday, shattering their transfer record to recruit the Sweden striker.
The clubs did not disclose the fee but British media reported Newcastle paid around 59 million pounds ($70.03 million) to sign the 22-year-old.

Juventus is the Manchester United of Italian soccer; rich in history but utterly clueless when success is not on its side. After a dominant 3-0 win over Sassuolo in Match Week 1, Juventus traveled to Sampdoria on Monday and slumped back to the dreadful, sleep-inducing tactical performance fans have come to expect from Massimiliano Allegri’s side. As a result, many have taken to Twitter using #AllegriOut to voice their frustration.
After watching its midfield get played off the park against Brighton and Brentford in successive weeks, Manchester United acted decisively by luring five-time Champions League winner Casemiro from Real Madrid for a transfer fee that could potentially rise to $82.4 million.
With nine successive Serie A titles followed by two campaigns where Champions League qualification seemed a shallow silver lining, Juventus’ fall from grace has been clear to see in recent years. This summer has seen several big names depart Turin, and the Bianconeri will be hard-pressed to find adequate replacements in order to once again fight for the Scudetto.
Casemiro loves challenges. He really, really, R-E-A-L-L-Y loves them. That's the only reason — and a little bit of extra cash in his pockets — to understand why the Brazilian is leaving his key and successful role in Real Madrid to be part of that clusterfuck called Manchester United.
Yeah! It's not a joke. The player said goodbye to his now old teammates and is preparing his visa documents to travel to England, while Fabrizio Romano stamped the transfer with his famous "here we go!"
Después de días en los que tuvo que pasar por pruebas medicas, papeleos y presentaciones, Jorge Sánchez al fin pudo entrenar con Ajax, su nuevo equipo. Y con ello, su debut en la Eredivisie está más cerca que nunca.
El mexicano fue presentado oficialmente por el equipo neerlandés el pasado 10 de agosto y tuvo que esperar nueve días para vestirse de corto y entrenar junto al resto de la plantilla. La demora en su incorporación se debió a los trámites para conseguir su visa de trabajo en Mexico.

Real Betis se alista para enfrentar al Mallorca de Javier Aguirre este sábado 20 de agosto, por la Jornada 2 de LaLiga 2022-23, y todo parece indicar que Andrés Guardado otra vez no estará disponible para los verdiblancos.
No porque esté lesionado, no porque esté sancionado, sino que porque aún el Betis ha sido incapaz de registrar su nombre en las oficinas de la competencia.
