The club has contacted Flamengo with a €9 million (£7.7m) offer for the 27-year-old Brazilian, who joined them last summer after three years and 101 games at Spurs.

Senators John Kennedy (R-La.) and Ron Wyden (D-Ore.) introduced the Open Courts Act of 2026 to replace PACER and CM/ECF with a free, modern system featuring easy searches, APIs, and strong cybersecurity.

Kennedy called PACER an 'old, clunky government website' that burdens people, while advocates praise it as a long-overdue upgrade after past bills stalled. Legal journalists and groups welcomed the move, though experts note it won't solve all access issues like sealed records.
