Lionel Messi has already informed the club about his decision to leave this summer. He wants to terminate his contract with Barcelona. This news has shaken the Barcelona fans while others are drooling at the idea of seeing Messi play for their favourite clubs.
Now, the main debate is whether Messi will be allowed to leave for free or will he have to pay his release clause in order to leave the club.
The speculations are going on and Messi hasn’t made any public statement after sending the burofax to Barcelona.
La Sexta journalist Josep Soldado Gómez has also confirmed that Messi did not arrive at the Ciudad Deportiva training complex ahead of the session, scheduled to begin at 17:30 CET.
This is a serious indication from Messi who has already told the club about his desire to leave this summer. Messi had a clause in his Barcelona contract that allowed him to leave at the end of the season but that expired on June 10, so his ‘free clause’ ends technically. However, like what happened with other transfers, FIFA had to extend due to the anomaly in timings due to the COVID-19, so it may happen that he could be allowed to leave for free.
But Bartomeu and LaLiga declared that Messi is still under contract with Barcelona and he can’t leave for free and it seems Messi is still hell-bent on leaving the Catalan club.
There have been reports that Messi has talked with Guardiola and have already agreed on terms with Premier League club Manchester City.
Whether Barcelona will be able to keep their most prized asset or will Messi once again reunite with Guardiola at Manchester City? This transfer saga is heating up and it remains to be seen how it unfolds in the upcoming days.
Tecno Spark Go 2020 is all set to launch in India on September 1. The company has already teased about that and that phone has been listed on Flipkart. we can see the key specifications of this phone in that listing, along with a few design details as well. The predecessor of Tecno Spark Go 2020 was launched in August last year, whose name was the Tecno spark Go. Now, this new model is expected to feature a large 6.52-inches display. The display size is much more improved if we compare it to the previous version of this phone.
The Flipkart page reveals that the front display of the phone has a waterdrop-style notch for the selfie camera setup and a very little chin at the bottom. This phone also supports a USB Type-C port at the bottom and 3.5mm audio jack. The volume and the power buttons are on the right edge of the screen. This phone is expected to come in different color variants. Right now, only one color is confirmed in a blue finish.
Regarding the battery, the Flipkart listing teased that this phone will have a large battery, but the exact capacity is not known right now. The company has not teased any other information until now.
There is no officially confirmed information about the pricing of the Tecno Spark Go 2020. The Tecno Spark Go, which was launched last year, priced originally at Rs. 5,499. We have to wait for a few hours to get all the information about that particular device.
Barcelona has been going through a lot of changes after their 8-2 Champions League defeat to Bayern Munich. Quique Setien had been sacked and former Barcelona manager Ronald Koeman has been appointed as the new manager.
Koeman has already told the board his plan for the upcoming seasons and many veteran players don’t feature in his plans. The prime example of such players is Luis Suarez and Ivan Rakitic.
Barcelona signed Ivan Rakitic from LaLiga side Sevilla in 2014. He has been one of their mainstays in the midfield for over the last years. But Koeman doesn’t have him in his plans.
So, now Ivan Rakitic has decided to join his former club Sevilla.
Rakitic himself asked to Barça to leave the club. He only wanted to come back to Sevilla. Love story. Back @ home. 🤝🔴 #transfershttps://t.co/tEIao7oaDF
According to Marca, Rakitic is undergoing the requisite medical tests in Barcelona, ahead of his imminent transfer. He will be signing a three-year deal with the Andalusian club and is expected to replace the outgoing Ever Banega.
Rakitic will be Sevilla’s third signing this summer after Suso and Oscar Rodriguez both arrived on permanent deals.
Sevilla will sign Rakitic on a free transfer, who is in the final year of his contract with Barcelona. The Catalans are happy even without receiving a fee as Rakitic is already out of Koeman’s plans and they can get one of their big earners off the wage bill.
According to reports, one more senior player can also skip this year’s IPL. That is player is Harbhajan Singh.
Harbhajan is yet to join the CSK camp in UAE. He has a Tuesday flight to Dubai. But after knowing the situation of CSK he wants to re-think his decision.
A close person of the player said: “Harbhajan is due to join the team on Tuesday. But the situation with CSK currently, has left him very worried. He may rejig his schedules or even decide to skip the IPL this year”.
CSK owner N. Srinivasan has already charged Suresh Raina’s departure. He said, “Cricketers are like prima donnas … like the temperamental actors of the olden days. Chennai Super Kings have always been like a family and all seniors players have learned to co-exist.”
“My thinking is that if you are reluctant or not happy, go back. I don’t force anyone to do anything … sometimes success gets into your head,” he added.
Harbhajan Singh is the most experienced bowler of the team. CSK surely doesn’t want to lose him. His absence can be very vital for the season. CSK is waiting for the final decision of the veteran off-spinner.
Samsung already released multiple smartphones and other gadgets with wireless charging support. Keeping this in mind, if we come to know about Samsung’s work on a wireless charger, that will not highly surprising. So, don’t be surprised knowing that Samsung is actually working on a new wireless charger.
It is expected that the device is named Samsung Wireless Charger Pad Trio. That means it’s a 3-in-1 wireless charger. A leaker named Evan Blass shared an image of this wireless charger pad on his Patreon page. From the image, the symbols for three different types of devices – a smartphone, a smartwatch, and earbuds (for example Galaxy Note 20, Galaxy Watch 3, and Galaxy Buds Live) are clearly visible along with a Type-C port.
by – Evan Blass
Though a few details revealed from the image, a lot remains to disclose. Some of them are the supported Qi wireless charging profile and how fast it can charge to other devices.
At present, there is a wireless charger by Samsung in the market, it names Wireless Charger Duo Pad. This charger can charge any combination of two devices like two smartphones, a smartphone and a smartwatch, etc. But the pad is angled so that the user can see the display screen of the phone easily while charging.
Coming back to the Wireless Charger Pad Trio, there is no information regarding its launch and pricing and we have to wait for that.

Van de Beek to Man United, here we go! Man Utd tonight as expected have sent their official bid and Ajax just accepted without any negotiation. Agreement reached for €40m + add ons. Paperworks and medicals on next week. 🔴 #MUFC
Manchester United manager Ole Gunnar Solksjaer wants at least three more signings before the window ends. He wants a centre-back, a right-winger, and a striker for his project to rebuild the empire of Manchester United again.
United is also interested to sign €30m midfielder of Bayern Munich, Thiago. The Spanish midfielder is on the target list of Liverpool as well.
Manchester United has faced some economic problems to sign a player this summer. They need to offload some of their players to sign the desired players.
Jesse Lingard or Andreas Pereira is most likely to leave the club. They have not been performing enough in the last couple of seasons.
Jesse Lingard has scored just 4 goals and assisted another 2 even after been given plenty of opportunities in the first half of last season.
Andreas Pereira was given more time than Lingard but he has also failed to deliver. He has scored just 2 goals and registered 4 assists only.
It was quite natural that they are out of the plans of Ole Gunnar Solskjaer for the upcoming season.
Plenty of reports claim that AC Milan, Valencia, Newcastle United can be the next destination for them. It will be clear in the upcoming days.
Recently, prolific tipster WalkingCat leaked a lot of upcoming Intel promotional videos and among them, one of the main promos is about the new Tiger Lake processors. Ice Lake hasn’t been that much promising for Intel, however, with new Willow cove cores based on SuperFin transistors will give superior performance than its predecessors.
As we see Intel has totally changed the way of their logos and branding, it is now focusing to bring good products with improved performance over the last-gen – which we wanted from Intel for a long long time now. Although from the video it is clear that Intel will be sticking with up to 4 cores and 8 threads, however, its boost clock will reach up to 4.8GHz which is freaking awesome!
The 11th Gen Intel Core i7-1185G7 will be the upcoming Intel flagship CPU for Intel and here are some of the screenshots of the promotional video:
Also, the new Intel Xe graphics will deliver better GPU performance over the Iris Plus graphics and it is even more powerful than the AMD’s Vega iGPU as well, even though coming in the same 15W TDP package.
Promising up to 2.4 TFLOPs of performance, the new Xe graphics is faster than the likes of existing PS4 and Xbox One consoles, so gaming on these new machines won’t be difficult, however, real-world performance will only be revealed on 2nd September at Intel’s event.
Recently all the smartphone companies like Realme, Oppo, Xiaomi developed their 100W+ charging technology to re-fill smartphone batteries quicker. But for each case, the battery capacity remains around 4,000mAh to maintain the safety issues. But what if you have to charge the battery once in your lifetime and the charge lasts for more than years?
Scientists are working with different types of batteries aiming to extend battery life. One of the researcher companies NDM, based on California claims it has developed a new battery that uses radioactive wastes to produce electronic power. AS per them, this new battery can last for up to 28,000 years long.
NDB named this battery as “Nano-diamond batteries” which acts as a mini generator to converter radioactive materials from nuclear powerplants into electronic energy. This battery can power cars as well as electronic devices.
Radioactive graphite is very harmful if it left open, so NDB utilizes this waste and made different kinds of diamonds by varying the carbon levels after purification. On top of that, they added a layered structure to make the batteries so that it can produce electricity. Surprisingly, as per the details, the company can manipulate the battery size as per requirement.
If you are worried about the radiation, let you know these batteries’ ration level is less than the natural radiation of the human body. So, it’s totally safe.
As I mentioned earlier, the company can manipulate the battery size as well as scale up the technology to power electric vehicles. Where companies like Tesla provides its car batteries with up to eight years of life or 1,00,000 miles, NDB claims its batteries can power the cars for around 90 years.
It’s not clear when these batteries will come to the market. But this approach will definitely reduce the radioactive wastes from the World.
