Frenkie De Jong’s agents arrive in Barcelona with decisive talks scheduled

0

The Frenkie de Jong transfer saga remains unresolved, heading into the final few days of the transfer window. Manchester United had reached an agreement with Barcelona to sign the player, but he refused to join them despite having the chance to reunite with Erik Ten Hag.

Now, the midfielder’s agents have arrived in Barcelona for crucial talks about his future. Barcelona want him to take a pay cut up to 40% if he wants to stay. However, with up to €20 million already deferred in payments to him, he is unwilling to negotiate a further pay cut with the club. 

Frenkie de Jong set for important talks with Barcelona over future 

According to Sport, there are two options placed in front of the Netherlands international. He can either take a pay cut and stay at the club, or he can leave. 

If that is the case, then Barcelona will try to agree a deal with either Manchester United or Chelsea for Frenkie de Jong. Both clubs are interested in signing the Dutchman, but are on standby given his current situation. 

Recent reports suggest that Liverpool have also tabled a Β£60 million offer for the player. Whether or not it will be accepted remains to be seen. However, this means that there are more clubs becoming aware of the situation, and could act on it if the opportunity arises.

Samsung is reportedly working on the upcoming flagship Galaxy S23 series and the handsets are expected to go live at the starting of 2023. Samsung is expected to launch three premium smartphones in the lineup, namely the Galaxy S23, Galaxy S23 Plus and the Galaxy S23 Ultra. 

Now in the latest development popular and reliable tipster, Ice Universe has claimed that the Galaxy S23 Ultra will feature the exact same design as the predecessor. The latter has a quad-camera setup on the back, with individual camera lenses protruding out of the body. The rear camera panel has a minimalist look with individual camera lenses standing out of the body with sensors circled by rings. Another ring houses the laser autofocus sensor.

Ahead of the launch, a new leak by tipster Ice Universe claims that the Galaxy S23 Ultra will have the same camera module design as its predecessor.

Samsung is rumoured to upgrade the main camera from its 108MP sensor to a higher 200MP resolution but the sensor details are not known at the moment. It is likely that Samsung uses the HP1 sensor found in the Moto X30 Pro or might unveil a new one ahead of Unpacked 2023.  We can expect the other three camera sensors to offer the same resolution. This means that the S23 Ultra could feature a 12MP ultra-wide camera and two 10MP telephoto camera sensors with up to 100X zoom.

  • Brands associated with Chemin Esports to benefit from the added global fan base

India, New Delhi, August 26, 2022:Β Chemin Esports, one of India’s leading Esports companies, today announced its partnership with Influence Rage,Β an e-sports organization in mobile gaming with dozens of content creators, players and staff from all over Brazil and South America. Together, they have formed Influence Chemin Esports, a venture that will enable Chemin to expand its operations in Brazil and other western countries.

Through this collaboration, Chemin Esports will benefit from the 4 rosters that Influence Rage manages, and it includes:

Β·         PUBG Mobile Roster β€“ Currently, PUBG Mobile Pro League Americas Champion

Β·         Call of Duty Mobile Roster – Qualified for Call of Duty World Championship 2022

Β·         Arena of Valor (AoV) Roster β€“ Currently, AOV Pro League Brazil Champion

Β·         PUBG Mobile Female Roster – The performing one in Brazil circuit

Along with the above, Chemin Esports will be able to capture the content creation space too as the content creator associated with Influence Rage will now be creating content under the Influence Chemin Esports banner.Β This is Chemin Esports’ first inline strategic partnership that the company has announced, and there are more in the pipeline that the company will be announced in the near future.

Commenting on the development, Mr. Ishan Verma, Founder & Director, Chemin Esports, said, β€œE-sports industry has the potential to attract a global audience. It is currently in a nascent stage and therefore makes it the right time for us to expand operations in the international markets. This collaboration with Influence Rage will provide us the early mover advantage in the global market. It is part of our strategy towards building a strong global team and creating a platform for brands to associate with a wider fan base from different regions.”

Nice confirm the signing of Nicolas Pepe on a loan deal until 2023

0

Nice have confirmed the arrival of Nicolas Pepe on a loan deal. The winger has joined the club from Arsenal, with no option to make the move permanent. The loan will be until the end of the ongoing season, and the player will be expected to return to Arsenal afterwards. 

β€œLe Gym are delighted to announce the arrival of Nicolas PΓ©pΓ© on loan for the 2022/23 season. The CΓ΄te d’Ivoire international is explosive, a dribbler, can make and take goals, and is returning to a Ligue 1 he knows well,” read Nice’s official website

Nicolas Pepe joins Nice on loan until 2023  

The Ivory Coast attacker previously featured for Lille in the French league. He had an exceptional campaign with them in 2018/19, helping them finish as runners up in the league. Pepe scored 22 goals and provided 11 assists that year, and proceeded to become Arsenal’s record signing that year. 

Now, he is back in the league where he made a name for himself and could potentially regain his best form. 

Nice have signed Aaron Ramsey on a free transfer after he terminated his contract with Juventus, and have also signed Kasper Schmeichel from Leicester City. Under Lucien Favre, the club has managed to earn two points in three games, but will be hoping to build on their successful run last year. 

Bharti Airtel stocks on the rise after Singtel Deal

According to a filing with the market, Bharti Telecom and Singapore’s Singtel have agreed to buy a 3.33% share in Airtel for $1.6 billion (about Rs. 12,800 crores).

Bharti Telecom, headed by Sunil Mittal, is one of the companies that promote Bharti Airtel. Singtel is a shareholder in the promotional arm as well, though.

While the benchmark Nifty50 index rose 0.4% today (August 25), Airtel’s shares increased by over 1.2% in early trade. In Singapore, Singtel’s home market, shares increased by about 2% as well.

For more than 20 years, Singtel has owned a portion of Airtel.

To narrow its emphasis on its core activities, Singtel has decided to reduce some of its shareholdings in the second-largest telco in India. The company plans to invest the money from this sale in 5G and other home market expansion projects.

With Singtel owning the remaining 49.44% of Bharti Telecom, the Sunil Mittal family owns 50.56% of the company. Before the deal, this promoter arm owned a 35.85% interest in Bharti Airtel.

The Mittals owned a 24.13% interest in Bharti Airtel before the transaction, while Singtel retained a 31.72% share.

Following the transaction, Singtel’s ownership of Bharti Airtel would drop to 29.7%, valued at just under $15.8 billion (or around Rs. 1.26 lakh crore).

Serge Aurier to become Nottingham Forest’s 19th new signing of the summer

0

Serge Aurier is expected to become the 19th signing for Nottingham Forest this summer. The player was available as a free agent, after leaving Villarreal at the end of the season, and is now on his way back to the Premier League. 

The likes of Neco Williams and Harry Toffolo are already available, and the Ivorian will provide some well-needed experience at the back for Steve Cooper’s side. The player has completed his medical assessment for the move, and it seems only a matter of time before his arrival is made official by the club. 

Serge Aurier to join Nottingham Forest 

The right-back signed for Tottenham in 2017 from PSG, and had an initial impressive spell before losing his place to Matt Doherty and Emerson Royal. The defender eventually moved on to Villarreal, after his contract was terminated. 

But, injuries prevented him from extending his stay with the Spanish side, and he is now on his way back to England. Nottingham Forest have performed a total overhaul of their squad in an attempt to stay up in the Premier League, with 19 new players, once the arrival of Serge Aurier is confirmed. 

If Aurier joins the club within the next few hours, he could make his debut against his former club when the two play on Sunday. 

E-Waste – Why it’s harmful to us?

0

Solid waste management is a major issue in India, and it has a negative influence on the environment. Every day, we produce about 1.5 lakh metric tonnes of solid trash. This comprises not just rubbish and municipal waste, but also E-waste, plastic waste, hazardous waste, and other types of waste. It is important to understand the various categories if we are to seriously address the increasing challenge of waste management.

Along with the other types, e-waste are increasing too and becoming a challenge to manage. Small electronic gadgets such as TWS, that need micro-level operations to repair are one of the key reasons. Replacing with a new unit is much easier than repairing in this case and what to do with the faulty one? It joins the e-waste dump and this cycle is going on. However, the majority of e-waste still comes from big appliances and gadgets. The list includes televisions, fridges, washing machines, fans, AC, laptops, smartphones, monitors, and so on.

We all know companies like Apple and Samsung are removing charging adapters from the boxes to protect the environment. Though some experts pointed out it’s nothing but a business strategy and not exactly what they are claiming. Side by side, it’s also true that they use recyclable components as much as possible. Now, coming to why these e-wastes are harmful to us.

Toxic metals such as lead, cadmium, beryllium, and chromium, to name a few, are present in these products. When e-waste is recycled or disposed of in an inefficient manner, such as by just dropping it in the trash, it becomes dangerous. When harmful substances are released into the environment, they can create serious health concerns. In the year 2019, it was recorded that 10,14,961.21 tonnes of E-waste was generated in India. E-waste is one of the fastest growing forms of waste with a growth rate of 10% each year.

Minimizing and treatment of E-waste are important. Aiming this, Cerebra Green has created India’s largest, most sophisticated end-to-end e-waste recycling facility. Cerebra Green through its collection centres is trying to ensure that all the e-waste collected is accounted for at every stage and is recycled properly. Their services are data security, take back action, recycling, upcycling, reverse logistics, and extended producer responsibility compliance.

As a consumer, we can follow a few points to contribute to e-waste management –

  • Not to buy any unnecessary electronic gadget/product/component
  • Avoid throwing out, go for the exchange option wherever possible or hand it over to any e-waste management agency.
  • Repair and use the product again if possible
