Lionel Messi ‘To Sign New Five-Year Barcelona Contract Next Month’

Lionel Messi will sign his new contract at Barcelona next
month, reports Spanish radio show El Larguero.
The Argentinian’s current deal at the Camp Nou expires at
the end of next season.
His contractual situation has prompted speculation over his
future but that looks set to be quashed soon.
According to El Larguero, Jorge Messi, the forward’s father
and agent, will travel to Barcelona in May to finalise the
deal, which will extend the 29-year-old’s stay at the club
until the summer of 2022.
Messi was not part of the Barcelona side that saw off
Granada 4-1 on the week due to a suspension.
But recent reports suggested he will be in line to earn as
much as £35million-a-year after putting pen to paper.
In February, Jorge fled the Spanish city after “no progress”
had been made on talks.
But now it looks like Messi will be rolling in money –
especially after signing a lifetime deal with boot-maker
Adidas earlier this year.
And it is a relief for Barca, who have now tied down striker
partners Neymar and Luis Suarez too in new deals.

UK sanctions Oyakhilome’s TV over 5G/COVID-19 claims

The Office of Communications, the regulatory authority for the broadcasting and telecommunications industries in the United Kingdom, has sanctioned Loveworld Limited, operators of  LoveWorld,  a religious cable channel, for airing “unsubstantiated claims linking the pandemic to 5G technology”. The television network owned by the Founder of Christ Embassy, Pastor Chris Oyakhilome, was also penalised for feeding viewers with the claim that coronavirus is a ‘global cover-up’. In a statement on Monday published on its website, Ofcom stated that the caution followed an investigation into the matter. The statement read in part, “Our investigation found that a report on Loveworld News included unsubstantiated claims that 5G was the cause of the pandemic, and that this was the subject of a ‘global cover-up’. “Another report during the programme suggested hydroxychloroquine as a ‘cure’ for Covid-19, without acknowledging that its effectiveness and safety as a treatment was clinically u...

Jose Mourinho explains who his one-finger celebration was aimed at

Jose Mourinho certainly didn’t hide his emotions after winning the Europa League with Manchester United. After his side triumphed over Ajax 2-0, the Portuguese boss celebrated wildly. Mourinho was seen embracing his son, whilst telling all of his players to hold up three fingers to signify their fairly underwhelming ‘treble’ of the Community Shield, EFL Cup and now the Europa League. But there was one action that nobody could quite understand. Immediately after the final whistle, Mourinho could be seen shaking his index finger rather passionately at the crowd. But what did it mean? Did he mean this was the first major trophy of his spell at United? Did it mean that he was still the Special One? Or was it a message to the victims of the Manchester attacks on Monday? Well, none of the above, actually. Mourinho has actually revealed exactly who his one-finger celebration was aimed at. Mourinho explains his celebration "It's for my family," Mourinho sa...
