Neymar, 33, was ending his contract with Brazil’s Santos in December 2025, but through an official statement, the club announced the extension of his contract until the end of the 2026 season.

“The Prince of Vila Belmiro stays home until 2026! Neymar Jr. renews his contract with Santos FC until the end of the season to continue writing his football history with the Sacred Mantle,” the club announced on its official website.

“I’m very happy as president and Santos fan,” said Marcelo Teixeira, president of Santos. “Having Neymar, our Prince, with us until the end of the year shows that our project to rebuild the Club and our football is going strong, respecting processes and consolidating credibility. We are on the right track.”

Last October, Sport reported that the former Paris Saint-Germain star no longer had interest from European clubs, and that Inter Miami “would love” to sign him. In the end, it seems there will be no reunion with Messi.

What’s Next for Inter Miami?

Inter Miami is already working on what will be the 2026 season, in which it will no longer have big names like Jordi Alba or Sergio Busquets.

However, the Herons will continue to build around the undisputed leader of its project, Messi. The club’s priority is to surround the Argentine superstar with the best available talent in the transfer market.

The Argentine extended his contract with Inter Miami until 2028, so the Barcelona legend will remain a key piece both on the sporting side and in promotion for Miami Freedom Park, the club’s new stadium, which is set to open in 2026.

That said, the club’s front office is focused on the sporting side. It aims to provide head coach Javier Mascherano with a roster capable of contending for another MLS Cup and, for the first time, conquering the Concacaf Champions Cup.

The Italian, 45, left the club following an explosive row with the west London club’s owners, with a power struggle at the heart of his departure. 

Chelsea later briefed that a number of episodes left them unimpressed and questioned Maresca’s professionalism in a public slinging match.

And Maresca failed to mention his superiors as he posted a heartfelt message to his former plans and fans on Tuesday. 

‘“LEAVE THIS WORLD A LITTLE BETTER THAN YOU FOUND IT”,’ his Instagram post started.

‘My journey with Chelsea began with the preliminary rounds of the Conference League.

Enzo Maresca has broken his silence on his acrimonious exit from Chelsea

The Italian was dismissed on New Year’s Day and won two trophies with the Blues

‘I leave with the inner peace of leaving a prestigious club like Chelsea where it deserves to be.

‘I want to thank all the Chelsea fans for their support over the last 18 months.

‘Support that was crucial to achieving Champions League qualification, winning the Conference League, and winning the Club World Cup.

‘Victories that I will always hold in my heart!

‘A special thank you to all the players who have accompanied me on this wonderful journey.

‘I wish everyone who has shared every moment with me every success in this second half of the season and in the future.

‘Thank you, CHELSEA from me and my family.’

Maresca’ statement comes after Chelsea briefed that his behaviour was ‘unprofessional’ and ‘disrespectful’ in the final days of his tenure.

Liam Rosenior was confirmed as the club’s new head coach on Tuesday after Maresca’s exit

Three episodes appeared to upset the Blues hierarchy:  

– His decision to skip Tuesday’s post-match press conference citing illness. The club hierarchy believe he wasn’t ill, and found the move to be unprofessional, disrespectful and also unfair on Willy Caballero, who had to deputise. 

– His ignoring of medical advice on players returning from injury, and playing them for too long. 

– Reports linking Maresca with a return to Manchester City, where he had previously worked under Pep Guardiola.

They also claimed Maresca lacked ‘mental fortitude and emotional maturity.’

His exit follows a turbulent period which has seen the side win just one of their last seven Premier League  matches. Maresca’s last match was the 2-2 home draw with Bournemouth last Tuesday.

Liam Rosenior was confirmed as the club’s new head coach today, joining from fellow BlueCo club Strasbourg. 

The writing had been on the wall for Maresca after a spectacular outburst in which he claimed he had endured ‘his worst 48 hours’ following a victory over Everton. The announcement came after showdown talks between the manager and senior club officials.

It is thought that the claim related to serious friction between the manager and the medical department and a continuing difference of opinion over the management of injured players and their returns to action.

Officials were left seriously unimpressed with those public comments and a number of other episodes, including his decision to skip Tuesday’s post-match press conference citing illness.

The club hierarchy believe he wasn’t ill, and found the move to be unprofessional, disrespectful and also unfair on Willy Caballero, who had to deputise.

His ignoring of medical advice on players returning from injury, and playing them for too long, was also cited, along with reports linking Maresca with a return to Manchester City, where he had previously worked under Pep Guardiola.

Boston remains relatively healthy heading into the matchup, with the primary absence being superstar forward Jayson Tatum, who continues his recovery from a ruptured Achilles tendon suffered in last season’s playoffs. Tatum has yet to play this season and is not expected back imminently.

The Celtics will also be without forward Josh Minott, sidelined with a left ankle sprain. Minott has seen limited action recently, recording a DNP (Did Not Play) in five of his last six games. On the season, however, he is posting career highs with 6.3 points and 4.0 rebounds per game on 50.4% shooting.

The current starting lineup features the core group of Payton Pritchard, Derrick White, Jaylen Brown, and Neemias Queta, with Sam Hauser earning starts in the last two games after taking over for Jordan Walsh. Walsh had previously started 20 consecutive contests.

On the Nuggets’ side, injuries are piling up significantly. Denver will be without three-time MVP Nikola Jokic (knee), Cam Johnson (knee), and Jonas Valanciunas (calf). Additionally, Jamal Murray (ankle), Aaron Gordon (hamstring), Christian Braun (ankle), and Tim Hardaway (illness) are all listed as questionable.

Despite holding the fourth-best record in the Western Conference, the Nuggets are just 2-2 in games without Jokic this season, with victories over Toronto and Philadelphia offset by losses to Cleveland and Brooklyn.

In their most recent win—a Monday night triumph over the 76ers—bench players stepped up in a big way: Jalen Pickett poured in 29 points, Peyton Watson added 24, and Bruce Brown contributed 19.

Nuggets interim head coach David Adelman commended the effort: “This is a bunch of guys finding a way to get it done with grit and effort and timely shot making. And I think that’s something that, when they’re older, 20 years from now, they’re probably gonna have a beer and talk about this game.”

With availability still uncertain for several key players, Denver will likely rely heavily on its depth and bench production once again to compete against a streaking Celtics squad. Tip-off is set for 7 p.m. ET on Wednesday.

The New York Yankees have addressed one of their most pressing vulnerabilities head-on, finalizing a $2.5 million, one-year contract with versatile utilityman Amed Rosario on Tuesday. This deal keeps the 30-year-old in pinstripes, providing much-needed balance to a roster that’s been heavily skewed toward left-handed hitters—a weakness that’s haunted the team against southpaws.

Rosario, acquired from the Washington Nationals on July 26 in exchange for right-hander Clayton Beeter and minor league outfielder Browm Martinez, made an immediate impact in his brief stint with the Yankees. Over 16 games and 33 at-bats, he batted .303 with one home run and five RBIs before hitting free agency after the World Series.

His positional flexibility is a boon for manager Aaron Boone, who can deploy Rosario at shortstop, second base, third base, or even right field. A potential platoon at third base with Ryan McMahon—traded from the Colorado Rockies on July 25—could be particularly effective. Rosario thrived against left-handed pitching last season, posting a .302 average and .819 OPS, compared to .231 and .614 OPS versus righties. McMahon, a lefty swinger in an already left-dominant lineup, struggled against same-sided pitchers with a .184 average and .534 OPS, but fared better against right-handers at .223 with a .739 OPS.

General manager Brian Cashman emphasized the strategic fit during the winter meetings: “I definitely want to give Aaron Boone some legitimate choices so he can match up when we’re facing the left-handed starter, ’cause obviously we’re so left-handed that it’s a vulnerability right now.”

Rosario, who celebrated his 30th birthday on November 20, brings a wealth of experience from his nine-year MLB career. He’s a career .273 hitter with 69 homers and 389 RBIs, having suited up for the New York Mets (2017-20), Cleveland (2021-23), Los Angeles Dodgers (2023-24), Tampa Bay (2024), Cincinnati (2024), Washington (2025), and now the Yankees.

The signing comes at a crucial time, with starting shortstop Anthony Volpe sidelined to start the season following arthroscopic surgery on October 14 to repair his left shoulder labrum. José Caballero, acquired from Tampa Bay on July 31, is expected to handle shortstop duties until Volpe’s return, projected no earlier than May.

With Rosario locked in, the Yankees have taken a decisive step to shore up their lineup, turning a potential Achilles’ heel into a strength as they gear up for the new season.

Según informes, el joven alemán de 19 años se encontraba sin protección mientras se encontraba en la vía ferrata “Stopselzieher”, una ruta “fácil” en la montaña Zugspitze.

Un promedio de tres personas mueren al año en la cima Crédito: Getty

El monstruoso deslizamiento de nieve lo arrastró por un terreno rocoso y escarpado y lo arrastró fuera de la cima, según BILD .

Su compañero, de 21 años, quedó atado a una cuerda con un mosquetón y afortunadamente escapó con vida.

Los equipos de rescate de montaña acudieron a ayudarlo, pero trágicamente no pudieron salvarlo.

Los perros de búsqueda intentaron más tarde encontrar el cuerpo enterrado entre los escombros de la avalancha.

El dúo de escaladores ya había atravesado el pico Wiener Neustädter Hütte de 7.000 pies y estaban preparando el ataque para alcanzar la cumbre.

Las autoridades dijeron que el peligro de avalancha el sábado era moderado en las altitudes más altas de la región del Tirol donde se encuentra la montaña.

Era el nivel dos en la escala de cinco puntos y los expertos habían advertido que las capas débiles de la nieve vieja aún podrían ser activadas por los aficionados a los deportes de invierno.

El Zugspitze tiene una impresionante altura de 9.718 pies y se extiende a lo largo de la frontera entre Austria y Alemania, siendo el punto más alto de este último país.

En la última década, un promedio de tres personas al año han muerto mientras intentaban escalar la montaña.

Un hombre de 34 años murió mientras intentaba un atrevido intento de ascenso en solitario en el lado alemán el pasado mes de junio.

Según la policía bávara, el escalador se precipitó desde una gran altura sobre un glaciar a 500 metros de la cumbre.

Tres excursionistas desafortunados tropezaron con el cuerpo mientras realizaban un paseo matutino.

Las autoridades suponen que las horribles lesiones provocadas por la caída provocaron una muerte instantánea.

La tragedia de la avalancha sigue a la muerte de cinco escaladores en los Dolomitas italianos el mes pasado.

Las víctimas, todas alemanas, se encontraban escalando la Cima Vertana cuando un devastador deslizamiento de nieve las arrasó el sábado por la tarde.

Entre los muertos había un hombre y su hija de 17 años.

Un grupo de tres personas fue “totalmente arrastrado por la avalancha” y todos murieron; sus cuerpos fueron encontrados el sábado, según el servicio de rescate alpino de Italia.

El servicio de rescate alpino explicó que debido a la niebla y la escasa visibilidad, los helicópteros no pudieron despegar al amanecer del domingo.

Sin embargo, una vez que las condiciones mejoraron, los rescatistas y las unidades de perros detectores de avalanchas fueron trasladados en avión a las montañas antes de partir a pie.

A última hora de la mañana del domingo se encontraron los cuerpos de los dos montañeros desaparecidos: el padre y la hija.

Dos hombres de un tercer grupo sobrevivieron a un choque con la avalancha y fueron trasladados en helicóptero a un hospital en la cercana ciudad de Bolzano.

La avalancha se produjo alrededor de las 16.00 horas y a una altitud de más de 3.500 metros.

Network executives are hailing the duo’s impact as nothing short of revolutionary. A source close to the production revealed that Aitch and Angry Ginge have achieved what many thought impossible: luring teenagers away from endless scrolling on social media and back to live TV. “It’s priceless TV,” the insider enthused. “We’re seeing a surge in young viewers who haven’t tuned into live broadcasts in years. They’re posting real-time reactions, debating in comment sections, and rallying behind their favorites with the passion of die-hard online fandoms. Traditional TV isn’t battling the digital world anymore—it’s embracing it and riding the wave to success.”

The numbers speak for themselves. Since the launch of *I’m A Celeb 2025*, viewership among the 16-34 age group has skyrocketed to a consolidated 2.5 million—the highest for ITV since the 2022 World Cup. This generational shift isn’t just a fluke; it’s the result of strategic star power and behind-the-scenes maneuvering that has turned the show into a cultural phenomenon.

At the center of this jungle showdown are Aitch, 25 (real name Harrison Armstrong), and Angry Ginge, 24 (real name Morgan Burtwistle)—both hailing from Manchester and sharing an uncanny similarity in style, friends, and fanbases. “Aitch versus Angry Ginge is a tough one because they’re practically the same person,” a source close to the pair explained. “They’ve got the same Mancunian vibe, overlap in social circles, and a massive shared following on platforms like TikTok and Instagram. It’s going to be a nail-biter to see who comes out on top.”

For Aitch, with odds of 9/4 to win, the motivation runs deeper than fame or fortune. The rapper and online personality joined the show to shine a spotlight on Down Syndrome, a cause close to his heart since his younger sister, Gracie, lives with the condition. In a heartwarming moment that melted viewers’ hearts, the 16-year-old was flown out last-minute with her parents and twin sister, Hattie, for an emotional reunion on Friday’s episode. Gracie’s charm lit up the screen, prompting an outpouring of support on social media. Thousands of young fans shared tearful reactions, with posts flooding in like “I’m sobbing—Vote Aitch!” A source from Aitch’s team summed it up perfectly: “If the public sees Gracie in the jungle, then he’s already won the show. It’s as simple as that.”

On the other side, Angry Ginge—currently the 6/5 favorite—has his own arsenal of digital heavyweights in his corner. His team has rallied top influencers to drum up votes, including the UK’s biggest content creator, KSI. With his staggering 75 million followers, KSI took to social media to rally the troops: “Angry Ginge… let’s get this man to number one.” This online endorsement machine is amplifying Ginge’s cheeky personality and survival antics, turning every trial into viral gold.

While the two influencers battle it out in grueling challenges—from the infamous Celebrity Cyclone to stomach-churning eating trials—their presence has bridged the gap between TikTok trends and prime-time TV. What started as a survival show has evolved into a generational clash, where million-dollar digital stars prove that old-school entertainment can still thrive in a streaming-dominated era. As the finale approaches, one thing is clear: whether Aitch or Angry Ginge claims the title of King of the Jungle, ITV’s clever fusion of social media savvy and traditional broadcasting has already secured a massive win with Gen Z.

Aitch, whose real name is Harrison Armstrong, entered the Australian jungle with a heartfelt mission: to spotlight Down Syndrome, a condition affecting his sister Gracie. The emotional highlight of Friday’s show was their tear-jerking reunion, but it wasn’t enough to sway the public vote in his favor.

Aitch is the ninth star to leave I’m A Celeb in shock result as Angry Ginge, Tom Read Wilson and Shona McGarty are confirmed as this year’s finalists

The Manchester native had been locked in a fierce rivalry with his pal, social media sensation Angry Ginge (real name Morgan Burtwistle, 24), for the title of King of the Jungle. Now, with Aitch out of the picture, Ginge will face off against EastEnders star Shona McGarty, 34, and Celebs Go Dating personality Tom Read Wilson, 39, in what promises to be an epic conclusion.

Before his unexpected exit, Aitch tackled the infamous Celebrity Cyclone – the show’s most grueling Bushtucker Trial. But the real heartstring-tugger came on Friday when viewers were moved to tears by his reunion with sisters Gracie and Hattie. As Gracie, who has Down’s Syndrome, exclaimed, “We’ve missed you so much!” the siblings shared a touching catch-up in the jungle.

In his post-eviction chat with hosts Ant and Dec, Aitch described the moment as “unreal,” admitting he was so shocked he had to touch them to believe they were real. “I think it’s a mega experience for them too, being somewhere like this. In future series, they can watch and think, ‘I was there,'” he shared.

Reflecting on jungle life, Aitch praised the simplicity: “It’s good to be in a world like that for a bit – no distractions, no phone. The only thing on your mind is what’s right in front of you, and I think that’s a pretty good way to live.”

Aitch also addressed the infamous “sweet gate” scandal, sparked by Kelly Brook’s parting revelation. During a Deals on Wheels challenge on Monday, Aitch, Kelly, and Ginge scored 19 milk bottle sweets for camp but sneakily devoured one each before sharing the rest. The trio kept it under wraps until Kelly spilled the beans upon her exit, confessing, “By the way, there were more than 10 milk bottles.”

Aitch quipped, “I need a word with her. She tried to snitch and didn’t even do it properly. If you’re gonna snitch, go all the way.”

Aitch was greeted by his sister Hattie as they hugged on the bridge 

Speaking to Ant and Dec in his exit interview they asked him what it was like being reunited with his sisters. ‘Unreal, I was gobsmacked, I felt like they were fake I had to touch them’

When asked who he backs for the win, Aitch didn’t hesitate: “I love Shona to death – she deserves it, same with Tom – but that crown needs to come back to my hometown, so it’s Ginge all the way.”

Throughout the series, fans speculated about a budding romance between Aitch and Shona, turning it into a major storyline. Aitch even admitted to having a “soft spot” for the actress, but fellow evictees have shut down the rumors, insisting the pair aren’t romantically interested.

Aitch looked overjoyed as he left camp as he admitted he had a feeling he would be the one to go 

Aitch’s stint on the ITV hit marks his push into the mainstream after seven years in the underground rap scene. He burst onto the scene in 2018 with his viral track “Straight Rhymez” and later scooped a Brit Award. This week, it emerged he’s in negotiations for a lucrative £1 million clothing deal with BoohooMAN.

Tomorrow night, the nation will discover who follows in the footsteps of last year’s winner, McFly’s Danny Jones, and runner-up Coleen Rooney, as the 2025 King or Queen of the Jungle is crowned. Who will it be – Ginge, Shona, or Tom? Stay tuned!

Lewis and Katya danced a magnificent salsa to the music of West Side Story tonight.

However, the judges had mixed reviews – Motsi told him he did a great job but Shirley said it wasn’t his best dance.

She said: “There were missed connections and you looked a little bit tight.”

Standing with Claudia, Lewis revealed he loved the dance until he heard some of the judges comments but Katya gushed over his 

energy.

Strictl

She said: “It’s my motto for life – more is more. I’ve just been looking for a partner who can match me and finally I’ve found one.

“All my life I’ve been told, ‘less Katya, less’. Never! More is more!”

Lewis grinned and added: “More is more!”

However, Lewis still did great in the scoring as he got an 8 from Craig and 9 from everyone else giving him an overall score of 35.

Earlier in the show, Karen Carney and her partner Carlos Gu performed an energetic samba to The Rhythm of Life from Sweet Charity.

Giving her feedback, Motsi said: “One spin here was absolutely sensational. That was so difficult and you pulled it off.”

However, professional dancer Neil Jones interrupted the judge by shouting down from the balcony before she was finished her comments.

Motsi turned towards him and shouted: “Neil, you get a partner next

 year and I’ll be careful what numbers I will be pulling.”

She then held up the number two towards him as the panel laughed off the interruption and Motsi then continued her feedback.

Viewers took to social media and one wrote: “Motsi shutting down Neil is EVERYTHING to me lol.”

Another said: “The shade towards Neil from Motsi. IM DEAD!”

While a third declared: “Not Motsi calling out Neil and giving him a 2 bwahaha.”

In a moment that left the entire camp reeling, presenters Ant and Dec descended upon the jungle to deliver the heartbreaking news: Jack Osbourne and Lisa Riley’s time in the wild had come to an abrupt end. The announcement sent waves of disbelief through the remaining celebrities, who had grown incredibly close during their grueling adventure.

Adding to the heartbreak, the duo narrowly missed out on participating in the legendary Cyclone Challenge—the ultimate test that serves as the final hurdle before the grand finale. Jack Osbourne was the first to exit, stepping out to join the hosts for an emotional debrief.

Reflecting on his jungle journey, Jack shared what he cherished most: “I think connecting with people. I just said before coming out, I don’t have a huge amount of friends in England, so it was nice to come away with 11 new friends.” He also opened up about his light-hearted ‘feud’ with Kelly Brook over the camp’s cooking duties.

Jack explained: “It was just worried about if stuff would actually get cooked, it’s hard to cook on an open fire. On day one, I was like ‘who can cook here?’ and no one raised their hands. I was just worried we were going to all die of some strange jungle-born rare meat disease.”

The reality star admitted he was genuinely surprised by how well he bonded with his fellow campmates, saying: “I went in with this blind and just went with the experience.” He highlighted his instant connection with Eddie Kadi, forged over shared stories about their children. When asked about potential winners, Jack praised Tom Read Wilson as a strong contender but emphasized that any of the final four would be deserving champions.

Next, soap icon Lisa Riley emerged from the jungle, beaming as she described her exit as “amazing.” She summed up her unforgettable stint as a “basket of bliss,” filled with joy from start to finish.

Lisa gushed: “The endless laughter from the second we opened our eyes to the second we go to sleep. I said it a lot—’embracing our juvenile’—and I’ve got the privilege to do it in the Australian jungle.”

As the camp processes this stunning double departure, all eyes are now on the remaining stars as they gear up for the Cyclone Challenge and the thrilling finale ahead. Who will emerge victorious? Stay tuned for more jungle drama!

Bethenny tied the knot with Jason Hoppy in 2010, and together they welcomed their daughter, Bryn. However, their marriage quickly unraveled into a bitter, protracted divorce battle that dragged on for a full 10 years. This wasn’t her first brush with divorce; she had previously been married to Peter Sussman, ending that union in 1997. But nothing prepared her for the hell that followed her split from Hoppy.

During the podcast, Bethenny described the divorce as the most grueling experience of her life, surpassing even the horrors she witnessed growing up. “Literally, I have seen my mother slit her wrists. I have lived a life, my whole life of chasing her into bathrooms, trying to catch her throwing up. I’ve been around guns, the mafia, the racetrack. I’ve been through everything. I’ve seen her beaten with an inch of her life with a phone. I have seen everything,” she shared. Yet, she emphasized, “Nothing compares to what my divorce was for 10 years. That is child’s play compared to the trauma of someone wanting to torture you and telling you that they’re going to do it.”

As the more successful partner in the relationship, Bethenny explained how public perception painted her as the “powerhouse tyrant,” while Hoppy appeared as the innocent victim. “Optics look like this person’s just a victim and someone … with the pawn as a child, like it is so important. It was so traumatic,” she said. The stress was so overwhelming that she lost hair and felt she might never recover. “I thought I would never survive it. I didn’t want to. I had to because of my daughter. I literally thought I’ll never be happy again.”

Treating the divorce like a grueling marathon, Bethenny pushed through one step at a time, checking off every box amid a barrage of alleged wrongs. “It was fraud. It was stealing. It was hacking. It was harassment. It was abuse. It was Googling me 60 times a day. It was staying in bed and staring into my face. It was calling me every bad character in the books, ‘Ursula the Witch, and you’re ugly.’ And it was torture,” she recounted. The financial toll was immense, costing her millions, and the emotional manipulation extended to their daughter. “It was literally FaceTime to a toilet cause like so I couldn’t talk to my daughter, ‘I know, Bryn, I know you don’t want to go with your mama.’ It was torment from one minute to the last minute of the 10th year.”

Despite the intensity of her revelations, Bethenny made it clear she’s willing to face any consequences for speaking out. “I can, and I don’t even care if I get sued … Every woman needs to know, do not f**k around and find out. It was the worst thing I could ever wish upon a person.”

Throughout it all, Bethenny maintained a strict rule: she never spoke ill of Hoppy in front of Bryn. “Your kids will become cognizant, and they will understand you don’t have to say it to them. You don’t have to prove it to them,” she advised. “You should never ever say a bad thing about the other parent ever because it is the worst thing you could do to a child.”

Bethenny’s candid expose sheds light on the dark underbelly of high-profile divorces, where success can twist into a weapon against you, and the public eye often casts the wrong villain. Her story serves as a stark warning and a beacon of resilience for anyone navigating similar storms.
