After a humiliating defeat against Tottenham Hotspur by a 6-1 scoreline in the Premier League matchday 4 on Sunday, Manchester United has suddenly become busy in the transfer market on the transfer deadline day.
Until yesterday, the Red Devils had only signed Donny Van de Beek from Ajax. But suddenly we are now looking at 2-3 transfer deadline day signings.
Former PSG player Edison Cavani has joined on a free transfer and now it has been confirmed that United has officially signed Porto left-back Alex Telles.
Alex Telles is a new Manchester United player. Contract signed until June 2024 + option until June 2025 and announcement on next few hours. 🔴 #MUFC#ManUnited#DeadlineDay
The final estimated transfer fee is to be around €15 million including add-ons. Porto was demanding €18-€20 million previously but after Telles forced for a move to Old Trafford they have now accepted United’s latest bid.
Telles would be a great addition to the side after Luke Shaw was putting up below-par performances in the last games. During his 195 appearances for Porto, Telles has racked up an impressive 57 assists and 26 goals. So, he would provide the much-needed stability to the defence and would also add a lot more threat down the left flank.
After confirming the deal for Alex Telles, United would now turn their head towards Barcelona winger Ousmane Dembele.
Démbélé did not train with Barça today, as per @moillorens. He’s open to join Man Utd – talks on between #MUFC and Barça but still no agreement.
👀 Now Man Utd considering to pay loan fee + covering full salary. Barça want permanent deal.
After missing out on Jadon Sancho, United are now looking for a temporary solution. Dembele didn’t train with Barcelona today so it seems that he may join Manchester United on loan finally.
This 3 transfer deadline day signings could prove to be vital in United’s bid for a Champions League place or even poising a challenge for the Premier League title.
Jose Callejon is a Real Madrid academy player. After playing for Real Madrid B team Castilla, he joined Espanyol and again returned to the Santiago Bernabeu.
In 2013, the Spaniard joined Serie A side Napoli. He has played in the blue colours of Napoli for seven years. After winning 2 Italian Cup along with an Italian Super Cup, Callejon left the Italian side this summer as a free agent.
It was rumoured that the 33-year-old would return to his homeland Spain, but instead, he has now chosen to remain in Italy.
Juventus has signed Chiesa from Fiorentina, so they have now gone for Callejon to replace the youngster. The Spanish winger has arrived at Fiorentina to complete the deal.
Callejon said: “I am very happy here, I come with a great desire to do well, now I will have to work with the coach and the team, because I have been training alone for two months. The break for the national teams will help me.”
The winger also had offers from LaLiga side Villarreal but he chose to remain in Italy. He said about this matter: “But I chose Florence because it is a beautiful city. Staying in Italy is also important for my family and for my children.”
He also commented on Chiesa and will he be able to replace him in the team: “He [Chiesa] is a great player, he will do well wherever he goes. But I’m Jose Callejon, I come to do my job. I want to make the players happy.”
Jose Callejon is a veteran winger. He knows his job well and is a poacher who roams around the second bar whenever a cross comes in. It is his trademark playing style. He will definitely add a lot of quality to Fiorentina.

The Indian Premier League (IPL) 2020 stakeholders are likely to be affected by the new taxation laws in the United Arab Emirates (UAE). Also, cricketers’ and franchisees’ salaries in UAE can be taxed as per the new taxation protocols.
The Indian Premier League (IPL) 2020 started two weeks ago. After the tournament was postponed due to many hindrances and altercations, the 13th edition of the IPL began on September 19 in UAE.
(PC- India TV News)
Will players’ salaries be taxed in UAE?
In IPL 2014, when 20 of the matches were played in the UAE, no such tax laws existed. However, as per the added Tax Laws introduced in the year 2018 in UAE, any service provided in the nation is taxed. Therefore, all player earnings are bound to be taxed.
“As per the new taxation norms in UAE, VAT will be levied on the IPL player salaries as they are providing services to the franchises”, said one of the representatives of Shuraa Tax Consultants based out of UAE.
However, the franchises are not aware of any such taxation as of now. Therefore, the salaries are not deducted yet.
“We don’t have any idea about any such taxation. No one has informed us about it. So as of now, there will be no deduction in players’ salary”, said KXIP CFO LC Gupta.
VAT is defined as the tax on the supply of any goods/services for consideration by a person conducting business in the UAE. As per laws, the place of supply of any sporting service shall be where such services are performed.
As of now it is unclear whether BCCI has got into some understanding with the authorities on possible tax exemptions for all matters related to IPL. It is reported that it depends on whether sovereign exemptions are granted to IPL or not.
Samsung’s in-house manufactured Exynos 990, raised our level of expectations. With the South Korean advertising its processor to be the next big thing to enter the smartphone market, the SoC was supposed to dethrone the current ruler Apple’s A13 Bionic.
But, Exynos 990 not only didn’t meet our expectations but also fell way short then its other competitors. Even falling behind Apple’s A12 Bionic. With Apple revealing its 5nm based A14 Bionic, it stands to add more trouble for Samsung’s in-house SoCs.
However, things might finally be changing for the South Korean giant.
It is revealed that the company might soon be launching its latest Exynos 2100. We don’t have any official announcement from Samsung as of yet. But a tipster has revealed that the curtain on the new Silicon might be lifted very soon.
A tweet by tipster MauriQHD (@MauriQHD) states that the next Exynos chipset by Samsung will be introduced at any moment. According to the tipster, Exynos 2100 will be the successor to the Exynos 990.
An alleged Geekbench test score of the Exynos 2100 running on the Galaxy S21+ has also surfaced online. the benchmark states of Exynos 2100 of having a single-core score of 1038 and a multi-core score of 3060.
This, however, pales in comparison to the Geekbench scores of Apple’s A14 Bionic SoC powering iPhone 12 Series. The SoC, while powering an iPad, achieved a single-core of 1583 and multi-core scores of 4198.
Apples A14 Bionic and Samsung’s Exynos 2100 will be based on a 5nm chipset meaning that more transistors will fit inside a square mm allowing for greater performance and improved energy consumption.
Exynos 990 was manufactured using a 7nm EUV process. This is not enough when compared with the more powerful and energy-efficient 5nm chipset process.
The tipster said in his tweet that the Exynos 2100 should be “way better” than the Exynos 990. Since, its base being a 5nm process, this is pretty much a sure thing.
The new Exynos 2100 SoC is expected to make its debut with the Samsung Galaxy S21 line up. The new 5nm based processor could mark Samsung’s return to the competition, and will most likely save the company from further embarrassment brought forth by Exynos 990.
As to how the new Exynos 2100 will fare against Apple’s A14 Bionic, can only be determined with a detailed comparison between the two SoCs once they are officially released.
Today is the transfer deadline day! It is quite sure that there will be some surprise transfers today and some last moment dramas as well.
Manchester United were criticized for their poor transfer window this season. But they are one of the busiest clubs on this transfer deadline day.
Yesterday, it was confirmed that United are going to sign Edinson Cavani and Alex Telles. Today they are undergoing their medicals and will finalize the signing.
Manchester United has now come up with another surprise signing. Atalanta youngster Amad Traore is a confirmed signing for Manchester United. The 18-year-old winger will be joining the Red Devils for a €30 million deal which runs till 2025.
But Traore will join Manchester United in January because there is a passport problem which interrupts the two parties to complete the deal.
Amad Traoré will join Manchester United on next January, here we go! Deal agreed right not with Atalanta but the young talent [born in 2002] will arrive on 2021 because of work permit and passport timing.
Atalanta star Papu Gomez said, “He’s a future star, trust me. During our trainings, he seems like Messi! You can’t stop him, he’s unbelievable, our centre-backs have serious problems when Traoré is on the pitch. He’s fantastic.”
He played only 25 minutes in Serie A last season and had scored a goal in that short period as well. He can be a future star for Manchester United.
Amad Traore was linked in a loan deal with Parma in the last 3 weeks. Parma also announced the signing of the youngster on social media. But the deal collapsed after Manchester United’s late bid today morning.
Manchester United was linked with Jadon Sancho for a long time. But they failed to come to an agreement with Borussia Dortmund. They were also linked with Ousman Dembele but that deal also didn’t work through. So, they finally secured the signing of the 18-year-old youngster.
The Red team has been storming the CPU world with its fast Zen-based CPUs and struggling to compete NVIDIA’s high-end GPUs and its incredible host of technologies. Though AMD still remains the only company to deliver superior CPU and GPU performance for over a decade now.
Now, AMD has always stressed on the fact of reducing latencies between the CPU, GPU cores via various technologies referred to as Infinity Fabric for Zen-based CPUs. However, AMD plans to make its GPUs even more powerful with Big Navi, launching on October 28th.
Thanks to @momomo_us for sharing this new trademark from AMD where we clearly see the mention of AMD INFINITY CACHE. The trademark has been issued by Justia Trademark, and this raises new speculations that whether AMD will be using this new Infinity Cache on their upcoming Radeon graphics cards.
It doesn’t seem impossible because AMD has delayed the launch of its GPUs by 20 days for some reason, maybe for trademark or something else. However, this new trademark does excite a lot of AMD fans who are waiting for the revolutionary RDNA 2 GPUs.
Previously, the trusted YouTuber, RedGamingTech also mentioned about the Infinity Cache earlier, now with this solid leak, AMD’s plans seem to make some sense. Although this will be a thing to anticipate if AMD uses this on its upcoming RDNA 2 GPUs.

Apple, the tech giant whose GDP surpasses more than 80% of world countries, including our own. It is undoubtedly the largest tech company in the current era. The Cupertino giant is known mainly for its iPhone devices and MacBook PCs, but it is not just limited to manufacturing mobile devices. It is much wider spread and owns various subsidiaries, expanding its reach towards every tech genre.
So, what happens when you cheat Apple?
I mean that as a serious question. It would help if you literally had strong guts to even plan of cheating against such a big organization. Let’s say your plan of committing a fraud against the Cupertino giant went as planned, and you completed your task. But what happens when apple discovers you? What do you think will be the consequence?
It’s pretty simple, really. You will be fined with Billions of dollars of Lawsuit by the company. One such thing happened with Geep Canada, Apples’ very own recycling partner.
The Cupertino giants lawsuit claims that Geep Canada sold approximately 100,000 iPhones, iPads, and Apple Watches, which interestingly were sent to the company to be stripped down and recycled.
Apple is committed to environmental conservation, and its various environmental policies are no joke. The company has been trying every year to increase how much it recycles. The company is even attempting to move the recycling of its products in-house. But for now, it has to depend on recyclers like Geep Canada to carry out the task.
Interestingly, Apple claims of its 100,000 devices being stolen are not denied by Geep, but the recycler has still filed a countersuit to protect itself. In its lawsuit, the company claims that three ‘rogue’ employees carried out the theft without the company’s knowledge.
But, Apple claims that the three in question are the senior management staff at the firm. According to sources, Apple filed its lawsuit in January 2020, while Geep Canada filed its countersuit in July. The case has only been made public recently.
What does Apples suit claim?
Apple claims that it shipped 531,966 iPhones to Geep Canada for recycling between January 2015 and December 2017. Along with it, the company also sent 25,673 iPads and 19,277 Apple Watches.
When the company audited the recycler’s warehouse, some of its devices were being stored away.
Upon discovering that any security cameras did not cover the alleged secret storage areas, the Cupertino giant then checked the serial numbers of all devices it had shipped to the company. It claimed that approximately 18% or 103,845 of all the devices were discovered to be active on carrier networks.
Apple stated, “At least 11,766 pounds of Apple devices left GEEP’s premises without being destroyed – a fact that GEEP itself confirmed“.
What’s Geep’s Stance?
The recycler is reportedly searching for the three employees responsible for the theft. This is to make them pay for damages and costs the company suffered. If Apple wins, Geep needs to pay $22.7 million US, which will be a huge loss for the recycling firm. The company has already lost Apple as its customers, which is a loss in millions of dollars every year. Add the lawsuit fine claimed by Apple on top of it; the recycling firm might be headed towards dark ages.
Our Take
Geeps website states that the company’s mission is to “encourage reuse whenever possible.” But, it’s still not OK to sell resell the devices just because one encourages reuse over recycling. The products belong to apple, they belong to some other company.
Just because products can be sold on the grey market, it doesn’t make them comply with the re-sell policy of apple but of every other device manufacturers in the world. If the resold products are not rebuilt with counterfeit parts, it results in serious electrical and battery defects.
Consumer safety is more important than making profits!
One of Italy’s long sought after young talents will be moving to Juventus. According to Fabrizio Romano, the Bianconeri are making a move for 22-year-old winger Federico Chiesa from Fiorentina.
Although a last few details remain to be negotiated and sorted, it is understood the deal will go through in time before the transfer window deadline. The specifics of the operation are a little different and complex here.
Apparently, Juventus will take Chiesa on loan for two seasons, paying a loan fee of €2 million for the first and €8 million for the second. And in the third season, contingent on certain clauses, Chiesa could move permanently to Juventus for a €40 million fee on an obligation to buy requirement.
Federico Chiesa is now one step away from joining Juventus! Last details to be sorted tonight then… here we go!
Douglas Costa will join Bayern, De Sciglio will join OL > Juve will sign Chiesa on loan with obligation to buy. Confirmed. 🤝⚪️⚫️ https://t.co/x8COpQe9bj
The only issue with that move is Chiesa’s current contract with Fiorentina expires in 2022. And so if Juventus are to trigger the obligation to buy clause, they will need him to sign a new extension with Fiorentina so that the money can legally be transferred to them from Juventus.
Regardless of the footballing side of things, Chiesa will provide a sense of freshness to a somewhat stagnated Juventus attack. Possessing an ability to play on both flanks, he has great technical skills as well as an eye for goal. Primarily a right-winger, he will be expected to start games with another new recruit Dejan Kulusevski acting as competition for his place.
Chiesa has been quite a consistent player in the Serie A. Last season, he scored 10 goals and provided 6 assists in 34 appearances for Fiorentina. And as Juventus undergo an overhaul under new head coach Andrea Pirlo, they are also strengthening the youth squad with players for the future. It could potentially prove to be a deadline day game-changer, as Juventus seek to win yet another Scudetto and go far in the Champions’ League this season.
