Manchester City have confirmed the signing of goalkeeper Gianluigi Donnarumma from Paris Saint-Germain, Reuters reported.

The Italy international has signed a five-year contract and joins the club after a historic season with PSG, in which he helped the French side win a quadruple, the Ligue 1 title, French Cup, French Super Cup and UEFA Champions League.

“I am joining a squad packed with world-class talent and a team led by the one of the greatest managers in the history of football in Pep Guardiola. This is a club every player in world football would love to join,” Donnarumma said in his first Man City interview, according to Reuters.

A delay of mere seconds in registering a new signing has proved extremely expensive for Grimsby but at least the League Two club looks to have escaped a potential expulsion from the Carabao Cup, The Guardian reported.

Instead Grimsby have been fined £20,000 by the English Football League for fielding an ineligible player during their famous League Cup win against Manchester United at Blundell Park last Wednesday. The governing body opted to issue a pecuniary sanction rather than use their potential powers to either expel David Artell’s side or order the tie to be replayed.

Clarke Oduor’s registration was submitted at 12.01pm last Tuesday, one minute and 59 seconds after the 12pm deadline demanded by this ­season’s EFL League Cup rules, according to The Guardian.

England manager Thomas Tuchel added Ruben Loftus-Cheek and Jarell Quansah to his squad on Tuesday for World Cup qualifying games against Serbia and Andorra, while Adam Wharton did not report to camp due to injury, Reuters reported.

AC Milan midfielder Loftus-Cheek has 10 international caps but has not played for England since 2018. Bayer Leverkusen centre back Quansah has been called up to senior squads previously but remains uncapped.

Tuchel's now 25-man squad reported to England's training base at St. George's Park on Tuesday after the German coach gave them Monday's transfer deadline day off, according to Reuters.

Alexander Isak expressed his gratitude to Newcastle United and the club's supporters on Tuesday after his British-record transferto Liverpool, despite a trail of criticism and a frosty farewell from St James' Park, Reuters reported.

Newcastle fans were left with a bitter taste on Monday as the English champions secured the 25-year-old for 125 million pounds ($168.86 million) after the Sweden striker's standoff with the club ended with burned bridges and frayed loyalties.

"I want to express my gratitude to my teammates, the staff, and above all, the city of Newcastle and all the amazing supporters for the three unforgettable years we shared together," Isak wrote on Instagram with comments on the post turned off, according to Reuters.

Manchester City need to show more mental fortitude after losing their last two Premier League matches, the club's winger Jeremy Doku suggested on Tuesday at the start of preparations for Belgium’s two World Cup qualifiers this week, Reuters reported.

"Things aren't going very well," the Belgian international admitted when asked about City’s fortunes at a press conference ahead of Belgium’s game at Liechtenstein on Thursday.

Manchester City have three points from their opening three games of the new Premier League campaign. After defeating Wolverhampton Wanderers in their opening match, they were beaten by Tottenham Hotspur and Brighton & Hove Albion in their next two fixtures, according to Reuters.

The Houston Dynamo acquired forward Sergio Santos off waivers on Tuesday, Reuters reported.

Santos will remain under contract through the remainder of the season. The Dynamo will hold a club option on the Brazilian for the 2026 campaign.

He had one goal and two assists in 18 appearances (six starts) with FC Cincinnati this season.

Santos, 30, recorded 27 goals and 13 assists in 154 career MLS appearances (70 starts) with the Philadelphia Union (2019-22) and FC Cincinnati. He was part of the Cincinnati's 2023 Supporters' Shield-winning club, according to Reuters.

German midfielder Ilkay Gundogan has left Manchester City to join Turkish champions Galatasaray, the two clubs said on Tuesday, with the move subject to international clearance, Reuters reported.

Gundogan, 34, made 358 appearances across two spells with City, scoring 65 goals and winning 14 trophies, including the Premier League, FA Cup and Champions League treble in 2023 when he captained the side.

Gundogan initially joined City from Borussia Dortmund in 2016 before moving to Barcelona in 2023. He returned to Manchester for the 2024-25 campaign, scoring five goals and making eight assists from 54 games across all competitions, according to Reuters.

Gold prices climbed to yet another record high in the domestic market on Tuesday, mirroring the rally in the international market where bullion touched an all-time peak on the back of a weaker US dollar and expectations of a rate cut by the Federal Reserve. According to the Federation of Nepal Gold and Silver Dealers Associations, the price of fine gold rose by Rs 600 per tola, reaching Rs 205,900 per tola (11.664 grams)—the highest level ever recorded in the domestic market. Gold had set a record at Rs 205,300 per tola on Monday, while it was traded at Rs 203,600 per tola on Sunday.

Silver prices also rose to Rs 2,485 per tola, up from the previous day’s Rs 2,470. The surge in Nepal comes against the backdrop of global momentum. Gold prices climbed to an all-time high and sailed past $3,500 per ounce on Tuesday, extending gains to a sixth session on the back of a weaker dollar and rising bets of a US interest rate cut this month, according to Reuters. Gold prices rose 27% in the international market in 2024, and broke the $3,000 per ounce level for the first time in March this year.

Gold is widely considered a safe-haven asset during times of economic uncertainty and investors worldwide are increasingly shifting funds into bullion in recent years. “Gold’s rally could extend to $3,600 and even beyond by year-end if the Fed follows through with multiple rate cuts and if a Russia-Ukraine peace deal remains elusive,” Reuters quoted KCM Trade chief market analyst Tim Waterer as saying.

Nepal sources all of its gold through imports which means domestic prices are directly tied to international market trends. As a result, any uptick in global bullion prices quickly translates into higher costs in the Nepali market.

Gold first breached the Rs 200,000 threshold in the domestic market on Friday when the price of the yellow metal increased by Rs 1,200 per tola. It went up by Rs 3,000 per tola on Sunday, Rs 1,700 per tola on Monday, and Rs 600 per tola on Tuesday. The yellow metal has been shining in the domestic market for the past eight sessions, during which its price has risen by Rs 8,700 per tola. The continuous rise in prices over the past three days has added pressure on buyers ahead of the festive and wedding season, when demand for gold rises significantly.
