Leeds bosses will have to take extraordinary measures to maintain the club's financial stability, the Daily Mail reports.

According to the source, in order to establish a stable financial picture at the club, the club's management will have to sell its players for more than £100 million if it fails to generate additional profit after a possible entry into the English Premier League. Thus, the most popular player, midfielder Crisencio Summerville, may be the first to leave the team.

It is noted that the decision to sell expensive players can help cover Leeds' operating losses if the club does not receive promotion at the end of this season's Premier League season.

The management of Kryvyirogorsk Kryvbas has promised its players additional bonuses for the fulfilment of two global tasks, according to the TaToTake telegram channel.

The first of them is to win medals of the championship of Ukraine season-2023/24. With this task "Kryvbas" has already coped, early extracting the "bronze".

The second task for additional bonuses is to reach the group stage of the European Cup tournament next season. Let us remind you that Kryvbas will start its way in the Eurocups-2024/25 with the 3rd qualifying round of the Europa League, i.e. two stages away from the group stage. In case of failure in the third qualification round of the Europa League, Yuriy Vernidub's team will be in the play-off round of the Conference League qualification.

Sports physician Dmytro Babeliuk commented on the recent statements by Ukrainian striker Yegor Yarmolyuk of Brentford about the peculiarities of his heart.

Famous Ukrainian TV commentator Igor Tsyganik told what he expects from the match of the 29th round of the Ukrainian championship by Dynamo Kyiv and Kryvorizhzh Kryvbas, which will be held tomorrow in the capital.

"A match that already decides almost nothing. "Dynamo" just need to finish the season well, to play at home qualitatively for the fans who will come to support the "white-blue".

"Kryvbas won the "bronze" medals of UPL. Yuriy Vernidub's team got a ticket to the Europa League qualification. But it lost the previous two matches ("Dnipro-1" - "Kryvbas" - 1:0, "Kryvbas" - "Polesie" - 0:1 - ed.), so against Kyiv will want to prove themselves better.

I expect quite an interesting game with goals. I think that both Dynamo and Kryvbas will be able to score. I will bet on the exchange of goals and Dynamo's victory with the score 2:1," said Tsyganik.

The well-known journalist Mykola Neseniuk shared his thoughts on the legendary coach of Dynamo Kyiv, Valeriy Lobanovsky.

Former Shakhtar Donetsk head coach Paulo Fonseca, who is currently in charge of French side Lille, is the main contender for the post of Milan coach, Sky Sport Italia reports.

The management of "Milan" not so long ago decided to part ways with the current head coach Stefano Pioli at the end of the current season, and during the search for his successor stopped their choice on Fonseca.

But it is still too early to say that this Portuguese specialist will definitely lead AC Milan. His contract with Lille runs until the end of the current season, and the French club intends to sign a new contract with Fonseca: in the near future, the parties will begin negotiations on this matter. In addition, Marseille have views on Fonseca.

Ukrainian striker of Spanish "Valencia" Roman Yaremchuk was included in the starting line-up of his team for yesterday's match against Real Sociedad. The last time the 28-year-old appeared in the "base" almost two months ago, when on 30 March he started from the first minute of the match against Mallorca.

The Ukrainian failed to distinguish himself, and in the 71st minute of the game he was substituted. Yaremchuk received very low marks for his performance in this match.

WhoScored gave the forward 6.0 points, and only Peter Gonzalez had a lower rating in Valencia - 5.7 points. SofaScore also evaluated Yaremchuk's actions in a similar way. In this case, Roman has 6.6 points, and this is the fourth worst score in Valencia (after 6.3, 6.4 and 6.5).

Spanish Championship. 36th round

"Real Sociedad " - "Valencia " - 1:0 (1:0)
Goal: Andre Silva (3)

"Valencia": Mamardashvili, Thierry Correia (Gaia, 60), Ozkajar, Mosquera, Fulquier, Guillamon, Guerra (Canos, 60), Almeida, Peter Gonzalez (Hugo Gonzalez, 71), Yaremchuk (Mari, 71), Diego Lopez (Amalla, 85).

Let's add that in the current season Yaremchuk played 28 matches for Valencia and scored 4 goals. In the Spanish club the striker is on loan from Belgian Brugge, which runs until the end of the current season.

Ukrainian midfielder of English "Brentford" Yegor Yarmolyuk shared the peculiarities of his body.

"I have three valves in my heart, and there should be two. I don't know exactly what it means, but I am tough enough for English Premier League matches," Yarmolyuk said on the air of Youtube channel "TRENDETS".

Yarmolyuk has played 26 games for Brentford this season, but has not scored. However, the 20-year-old Ukrainian has one goal for Brentford U-21.

Dynamo Kyiv forward Erick Ramirez, who has been playing on loan for Colombian Atletico Nacional since the summer of 2023, is returning to his base club.

"Atletico Nacional", according to the terms of the rental agreement, had the right to buy the transfer of the 25-year-old footballer, but decided not to activate this option. This follows the fact that Ramirez said goodbye to the Colombian club on his page on the social network Instagram.

"For 10 months I have been at this wonderful club with extraordinary people and teammates. Thank you to everyone and especially to the tireless fans like this team has. I leave with 9 goals and the title of best in Colombia, thank you," Ramirez wrote.
