Leo Bengtsson says no to Randers
“I listened, I thought about it, and I am staying. That is the whole story.” The clubs had agreed a fee. Leo Bengtsson had not agreed to go, which turned out to be the part that mattered.

Gísli Gottskálk Þórðarson asks to leave Lech
“I have given everything here and I need a new challenge.” The request is formal, and the relationship will never be quite the same again.

Lech turn down Podbeskidzie for Kamil Jakóbczyk
The offer was not close and it was refused without much discussion. Whether the second one is refused as quickly is another matter.

Sergio Busquets in a row with a teammate

The dugout14 Sep 2026

In brief
- Squad Sergio Busquets has company in his position
- The dugout Joel Pereira has been promised minutes
- The dugout Alex Douglas asks for a word with the manager
