Neymar and Ronaldinho. It will be some time before we see another transfer as grand as Neymar’s to Paris Saint-Germain. The 25-year-old completed his stunning €222 million move from Barcelona on Thursday and was unveiled at the Parc des Princes on Friday. But while Neymar’s transfer record could stand for some time, we could see another nine-figure deal in the coming weeks. Barcelona have to find a replacement for Neymar and have been linked with a host of talented names, including Ousmane Dembele, Paulo Dybala, Philippe Coutinho and Kylian Mbappe. French newspaper  L’Equipe  reported on Friday that Barça have held talks with Borussia Dortmund’s Dembele, who would prefer to join the Blaugrana over Real Madrid.

Clubs know that Barça are desperate and have money to spend, so will hike...

Yemeni-man faces execution Thousands of people gathered in the rebel-held Yemeni capital Monday to witness the public execution of a man convicted of raping and murdering a three-year-old girl. Mohammed al-Moghrabi, 41, was sentenced to death for the June 25 rape and murder by a court run by the Shiite Huthi rebels who control Sanaa. The gruesome crime coincided with the first day of Eid al-Fitr, the Muslim holiday that marks the end of the holy month of Ramadan, and sparked anger among the population. Moghrabi was first given 100 lashes and then made to lie flat, his face on the ground, and killed by multiple gunshots by security forces to cheers from the crowd.

The public execution was widely aired on Huthi-run media in Yemen, framed as an example of the Shiite rebels’ efforts to combat crime in their areas. The Iran-backed Huthis have been locked in war with...
