0

Ligue 1 club Nice have reached an agreement to sign Barcelona defender Jean-Clair Todibo on a loan deal till the end of the season with the potential option to buy the player. 

The details of the transfer were revealed by renowned transfer insider Fabrizio Romano on his Twitter account, saying that the option to make the deal permanent would be worth an initial €8.5 million, and could rise to €15 million including bonuses. 

Barcelona have also added a sell-on clause in the defender’s contract which will see them receive 15% of any future fee that Nice receive should they sell the player after signing him permanently. The deal is expected to be the last piece of business that Nice takes care of this transfer window. Moreover, the official transfer is set to be announced in the coming hours. 

The player joined Barcelona from Toulouse, after coming through their academy, for a fee worth €1 million in January 2019. He has since spent a loan spell at Schalke and is currently on loan at Benfica, where he has only made two appearances for the club.

The move to Nice would see the young 21-year-old return to his home country and potentially restart his journey as a footballer. Given that the player has time on his side, stability is the biggest goal, and that can surely be achieved at a club like Nice. 

Indian government has reduced the Sports Budget by Rs 230 Crores for the FY 2020-21

1

Amid all the crisis due to the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic, the Union Budget was presented on Monday by Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman. There was a visible impact on the national sports budget. In the budget, the central government has allocated Rs 2596.14 crore for the financial year 2021-22, apparently reducing Rs 230.78 crore from the amount reserved for the previous year.

In the last financial year, the government allocated Rs 2826.92 crore for sports, which was later revised to Rs 1800.15 crore due to the lack of sports activity caused by the outbreak of the pandemic. The Tokyo Olympics was postponed, cancellation of all domestic events in almost all sports and no foreign training and competition took place.

The sports ministry bears all the expenditures of all foreign training and competitions, including participation in the Olympics.

“Initially, sports was allocated ₹2826.92 in last year’s budget which was later revised to ₹1800.15 after all sporting events across the world came to a halt because of the COVID-19 pandemic,” a sports ministry official stated PTI, pointing why comparison should not be made with the revised budget of the previous year.

“There was hardly any activity last year as most of the national camps were closed because of the lockdown.”

“In terms of infrastructure development and up-gradation of stadiums too, there was hardly any progress because of the pandemic,” the official added, without disclosing further details.

The government’s flagship Khelo India programme was handed the biggest reduction of Rs 232.71 crore among all sports heads for the 2021-22 budget. The financial allocation towards the Khelo India programme, Rs 890.42 crore in the last budget, has been reduced to Rs 657.71 core.

The Sports Authority of India’s budget was reduced to Rs 500 crore in the last budget but fortunately got a substantial soaring this time with the government initiating an increase of Rs 160.41 crore taking the total to Rs 660.41 crore, as SAI is the nodal organization to manage nationals camps, provide infrastructure, equipment, and other logistics to the country’s sportspersons

The allocation towards National Sports Federations (NSFs), which received a snub in the last budget, has also been increased by Rs 35 crore to Rs 280 crore.

Regarding the concern of incentives for sportspersons, the budget has initiated to further decrease the amount from Rs 70 crore to Rs 53 crore. Also, the budget for the National Sports Development Fund has been reduced to Rs 25 crore.

Even, the allocation for the 2010 Commonwealth Games-SAI stadia renovation was brought down to Rs 30 crore from Rs 75 last year. However, the National Welfare Fund for Sportspersons will continue to receive the same amount of Rs 2 crore as before. Moreover, at Rs 50 crore, there’s no change in the allocation for the improvement of sports facilities in Jammu and Kashmir.

Also, the Laxmi Bai National Institute of Physical Education will carry on to receive Rs 55 crore. In comparison, the contributions to the World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) has been increased to Rs 2.5 crore from Rs 2 crore.

Liverpool complete signing of Ben Davies from Preston North End

0

Much like Bayern Munich and Paris Saint-Germain in the summer transfer window, Liverpool have suddenly sprung to life on deadline day of the winter transfer window. The club is expected to finalise the signing of not only Ozan Kabak from Schalke, but also of Ben Davies from Preston North End. 

Davies, born in England, has been at Preston throughout his career and has spent multiple spells out on loan to clubs like York City, Tranmere Rovers, Southport, Newport County and Fleetwood Town. He has now managed to become the best player in the Preston squad and is set to be given an opportunity to shine at the biggest club in the Premier League.

The quoted fee for the transfer is around €4 million (£2 million) in it’s entirety. The official confirmation from the club is expected to arrive shortly, considering there is not much time left for the window to slam shut. 

The player’s contract was set to expire at the end of the season and Preston were at the risk of losing their prized asset for less than a bag of peanuts. Having linked with a move to Scottish club Rangers for a while, the sudden interest from Liverpool is a result of their realisation of the need for a centre-back. 

The player’s medicals are scheduled to be held shortly, with Liverpool player Sepp van den Berg going the other direction on loan to Preston. 

Liverpool all set to unveil the signing of Ozan Kabak from Schalke

Liverpool are set to complete the signing of Ozan Kabak from Schalke in order to stabilise their depleted backline and boost their chances of retaining their Premier League title this season.

The player is set to join the Reds on an initial loan deal, and the club will have the option to finalise the loan deal for a fee worth €30 million. A permanent transfer for the centre-back would see him sign a five year deal with Liverpool. 

The news has been given the “here we go” signal by Fabrizio Romano, which, for those unfamiliar with the journalist’s work basically means that the deal is as good as done. Both the clubs participating in the transfer are set to announce the news officially before the transfer window slams shut. 

Kabak is arguably Schalke’s most valuable player at the moment, and with the Blue and White club battling relegation after once competing in the Champions League regularly, the acquisition of funds can only hope to bring out the better side of things at Schalke. 

Arsenal’s Mustafi is on the verge of completing a move to the club as a replacement for Kabak, with negotiations still on. 

The deal comes with an option to buy the player for Liverpool, which means that the Premier League club have the liberty to choose whether or not to make the switch permanent. The initial loan fee being paid is rumoured to be in the region of €1 million, which is barely substantial in the modern transfer market.

However, with all that said, Schalke really need the funds while Liverpool need a quality centre-back and the transfer benefits both parties.

NVIDIA has recently launched the RTX 3060 desktop GPU as well as the RTX 30-series mobile GPUs at the CES 2021. Now, a lot of gaming laptops will be adopting these new GPUs in the coming months and the first benchmark of this upcoming RTX 30-series GPU is out.

@TUM_APISAK has spotted the RTX 3060 Laptop GPU on OpenCL benchmarks and it is the Gigabyte G5 gaming laptop powered by a Core i7-10870H. The GeForce RTX 3060 laptop GPU comes with 30 Compute Units along with 6GB VRAM and 1.43 GHz max frequency.

The RTX 3060 laptop GPU scores an impressive 93,263 points, making it faster than a desktop AMD Radeon Pro VII GPU, however, a little bit slower than the GeForce RTX 2070 SUPER or an RTX 2080 GPU. This is still huge improvement from last-gen and this should enable comfortable 1440p gaming for a lot of gamers.

Also, not to forget the RTX 3060 powered gaming laptops should be available around $1000-$1200 price point and at that, this new GPU could be a gamechanger.

Manchester City set to sign three youngsters in the coming days

Manchester City is in the process to secure a triple signing altogether from South America in the coming months. Along with the City Football Group, they are inclined to make major progress in developing their global scene of rising talent.

In 2020, as per the reports by many reliable sources, Manchester City and more specifically the City Football Group focused on strengthening the group and brand as a complete, which came in the form of both player signing, and club additions with the likes of Yan Couto signing, as well as Lommel S.K. of Belgium, and Troyes of France, joining a substantial group of global clubs.

This strengthening of the brand and the signing and recruitment of some of the world’s most promising young talents are set to continue over the coming few months, and sources from South America stated that the football club is all set for a triple signing.

Firstly, the Peru version of AS has provided an update on Kluiverth Aguilar, with whom Manchester City finalized an agreement for last year. AS stated that the 17-year-old, young talent is all set to complete a move to Manchester with a deal of €2.5 million. The full-back is expected to go out on loan with Girona and Lommel, who are the current favourites for his signature. However, initially, the player will be registered for Manchester City’s U23 squad, which might be a possible hint to the Peruvian defender’s plans.

Since the past few days, there have also been major evolutions throughout the media regarding the reported interest from Manchester City in Fluminese’s star with that of Kayky and Metinho, both 17-years old young talents, and interestingly Globo Esporte of Brazil has brought some light on the development, with highlighting the first proposal from City for the pair.

From another transfer news, and despite the January transfer window’s closing stages, it is expected to be a very quiet one for Manchester City. The signings will happen in the coming months for the summer of 2021.
