RB Leipzig striker Benjamin Sheshko is close to moving to Manchester United. This was reported by Euro-football.ru. According to Germany's Sky publication, the two clubs have reached an agreement on the terms of the transfer. The source states that during the negotiations, the parties also agreed to hold a friendly match in the future. This game will take place at the Leipzig stadium and is expected to bring the host club approximately 1.5 to 2 million euros in revenue.

Thus, Benjamin Sheshko could strengthen the ranks of Manchester United.

The Novomoskovsk city court issued a verdict in a criminal case involving two citizens of the Republic of Uzbekistan. This was reported by Upl.uz. A 24-year-old man and a 23-year-old woman were found guilty of attempting to sell illegal drugs as part of an organized group. According to the court case, in the fall of 2024, the defendants, as members of a criminal group, established six hideouts in Novomoskovsk city, where they created a network for selling drugs. During the investigation, it was revealed that the man intended to purchase and distribute a large quantity of prohibited substances. The criminal activity was halted as a result of operational-search activities by local law enforcement agencies. During the operation, over 49 grams of drugs were seized from illegal circulation. Taking into account the circumstances of the case, the court sentenced the woman to eight and a half years, while the man received a twelve and a half year sentence in a strict regime colony. The difference in sentences reflects each individual's level of involvement in the crime. In Russia, strict regime colonies are intended for men who have committed serious crimes and repeat offenders. Many drug couriers are recruited by employers through social networks and messengers, promising quick and high income for little work. Such couriers are often caught in the early weeks of their illegal activities.

Former famous football player Alexander Mostovoy expressed his opinion about the possible exchange of experience with Valery Karpin. This was reported by Euro-football.ru. Last year, Mostovoy also gained experience at the "Dinamo" club. At that time, Marcel Lichka was the head coach of "Dinamo". When asked about the opportunity to work with Karpin, he expressed doubts about what he could learn from Karpin at the moment. According to him, many coaches are coaching even if they do not have significant experience as players. Mostovoy emphasized that his experience in the field of football is greater than that of many others. It is worth noting that Alexander Mostovoy recently received a UEFA "A" coaching license. However, this license is not sufficient to work as a head coach in the Russian Premier League. A Pro-level license is required for such a position. With the current license, Mostovoy can only work as a member of the coaching staff. Therefore, he currently does not have the right to work as a head coach in a high-level club.

In previous years, former famous football player Denis Ugarov assessed Ilzat Ahmetov's chances in the "Krylya Sovetov" team. This was reported by Euro-football.ru. It has been announced that the midfielder will play on loan at Samara until the end of the season. According to Denis Ugarov, Ilzat Ahmetov could not prove himself in the ranks of "Zenit". He had almost no playing practice for three years and mainly appeared in Cup matches. In Ugarov's opinion, it will be difficult for Ahmetov to be a leader in the "Krylya Sovetov" team; at best, he might come off the bench. Additionally, Ilzat Ahmetov was bought by "Zenit" from "Krasnodar" in January 2024. He participated in a total of 21 matches for "Zenit," but did not stand out with effective actions. Currently, Ahmetov's new team is in second place in the competition table and has seven points. Thus, Ilzat Ahmetov has the opportunity to prove himself in the new season. Experts are paying attention to his activity in the game.

According to Russian football coach and expert Sergey Tashuyev, the problem in Moscow's Spartak team is mainly related to the emotions that arise from the bench during the game. This was reported by Euro-football.ru. He stated that there are excessive emotions displayed on the bench during the game. This situation also affects the players' movements on the field. Players enter the fight, the desire to win, and the eagerness to take the ball from the opponent with a strong passion. In such a situation, a player must be a true fighter, but at the same time, it is important to keep calm and composed. It is worth noting that Spartak has only collected four points in the first three rounds of the new season. This result is not as expected for the team. In the next round, Spartak will face Lokomotiv Moscow away. Currently, Lokomotiv is the only team in the Russian championship that has won all three rounds and has collected nine points. This result has allowed them to be at the top of the competition. Spartak needs to understand the necessity of managing emotions and acting with composure to improve their game.

Former “Zenit” football player Dmitriy Barannik commented on what caused Kaliningrad's “Baltika” team to start the new Russian Premier League season without a defeat.

According to Balaxnin, “Rostov” is a good team and can show quality play, but in the current situation, it will be difficult for them to rise above eighth place.

Balaxnin assessed the team's prospects as average and emphasized that they still need to work on improving their game. Currently, “Rostov” is in 14th place in the league table. The team will face “Pari NN” at home in the next round. The match will take place on August 10.
