Segundo apurado pelo Lance!, Guilherme custará R$ 4,8 milhões ao Santos, que ficará com 60% dos direitos econômicos do atleta.

Para contar com o atacante, o Peixe venceu a concorrência de algumas equipes que estão na Série A do Brasileirão, como o rival Corinthians.

QUEM É GUILHERME AUGUSTO?

Aos 28 anos, Guilherme nunca conseguiu se firmar no Grêmio, que foi o clube que o projetou para o futebol. Natural de São Paulo, o atacante se transferiu para as categorias de base do clube gaúcho após se destacar no Cotia FC. E ainda que tivesse atuado pela equipe profissional dos Imortal, acumulou empréstimos, tendo passado por: São José/RS, Botafogo, Chapecoense, Coritiba e, por último, o Fortaleza, em 2023.

Guilherme Augusto também tem experiência internacional. Entre 2019 e 2022 atuou no futebol árabe, defendendo o Al-Faisaly, da Arábia Saudita, e, posteriormente, o Al-Dhafra, dos Emirados Árabes Unidos.

Announcers Not Impressed With Fan Claiming to Miss Big Life Moment for Brewers-Mets

One Milwaukee fan made an interesting life decision Wednesday to attend Game 2 of the Brewers' wild-card series against the New York Mets at American Family Field.

Wearing a Brewers visor and holding a onesie, the fan's sign revealed that he was attending the playoff game despite his first baby being due Wednesday. The bottom of the sign read, "P.S. Thanks honey."

Of course, this all could be in good fun and not reality. But ESPN announcers Boog Sciambi and Doug Granville were not having it.

"Wow, that's love right there," Sciambi said. "I'm assuming he's going to get a phone call if necessary and will bolt out of here."

The Brewers, facing elimination in Game 2, put on an entertaining display for that fan on Wednesday night at American Family Field. Despite trailing 1-0, 3-1, and 3-2, the Brewers fought back and took a 5–3 lead in the bottom of the eighth.

Jackson Chourio, the Brewers' 20-year-old rookie phenom, belted two opposite-field home runs, and 26-year-old outfielder Garrett Mitchell socked a go-ahead two-run dinger in the eighth inning.

The Brewers held on to win Game 2 5-3 and forced Game 3 at American Family Field at 8:38 p.m. ET Thursday.

Ackermann fireworks light way as Durham crush Notts

Colin Ackermann made 83 off 33 balls and Durham made their record T20 score as they returned to Vitality Blast action with a 49-run defeat of Nottinghamshire Outlaws at the Banks Homes Riverside.On a run-stuffed evening in the North East, the home side made 231 for 5 and the visitors replied with 182 all out, Kasey Aldridge, who had only taken two T20 wickets previously, finishing with a career-best 5 for 29 from 2.4 overs. The win is Durham’s fifth in this year’s Blast and clearly strengthens their bid to qualify for the knockout stages.The home openers, Alex Lees and Graham Clark, began in uncompromising fashion, by putting on 70 runs in six overs. They were particularly hard on Olly Stone, who was playing in his first match of the season after recovering from injury and conceded 27 runs in his first two overs.Joe Clarke’s decision to use the spinners, Farhan Ahmed and Calvin Harrison, in tandem slowed the run rate but it was Matthew Montgomery who took the first wicket on 83 when he had Clark caught on the cover boundary by Daniel Sams for a 27-ball 40Nevertheless, Durham’s hundred came up in the 11th over and Lees reached a 34-ball fifty a few deliveries later. By now faced with a battery of slow bowlers that also included Liam Patterson-White, Lees and his partner Ackermann sought to attack at every opportunity.Stone was reintroduced and was whacked for three successive boundaries before gaining his revenge with the next ball when he had the Durham skipper caught by Harrison on the deep backward square leg boundary for a 46-ball 77 that included 11 fours and one six.The dangerous Jimmy Neesham was bowled by Harrison for 3 and Ben McKinney was caught on the long-on boundary by Harrison off Montgomery for 3. Nevertheless, Durham had been well placed on 154 for 3 after 16 overs and despite the loss of three wickets for ten runs, they were able to pillage an astonishing 77 runs in the final four overs.Those efforts were assisted by two no-ball beamers from Sams, which necessitated the Australian being withdrawn from the attack. And the wheels really came off the Nottinghamshire attack in the 19th over when Ackermann smashed 32 runs of Montgomery, reaching a 25-ball fifty in the process.The Durham batsman was eventually caught at deep midwicket by Sams off Harrison but by then he had done the damage, hitting 83 off 33 balls with seven fours and six sixes, all those maximums being scored off the last 11 balls he received. Harrison escaped with the least punishment, taking 2 for 33, but every other visiting bowler conceded at least ten runs an over.Nottinghamshire’s pursuit of their distant target began poorly when Freddie McCann was dismissed off the fourth ball of their innings, caught by Will Rhodes off Callum Parkinson for 5, but the visitors were going well on 37 for 1 after 3.2 overs until Jack Haynes was brilliantly caught by Lees off Aldridge for 14, the Durham skipper running back 20 yards from mid-off to take the steepling chance.But the fall of wickets could make no difference to Outlaws’ approach. Lyndon James hit his first two balls for four and Neesham’s first over cost 19 runs. Nottinghamshire scored 76 runs in their powerplay, six more than their hosts, but their onslaught was halted by Nathan Sowter, who conceded five runs in his first six balls and had James caught at deep midwicket by McKinney for 30.Clarke was the next to go, caught at short third man by Sowter for a 25-ball 41 when attempting to ramp Neesham and the visitors reached the midpoint of their innings on 112 for 4, still needing 120 to win. That task seemed tougher still when Aldridge struck twice in four balls, bowling Moores for 5 and having Patterson-White caught at long off by Rhodes for 8.Parkinson conceded 19 runs off his next over as Outlaws dispensed with any scrap of caution but Sams was bowled by Sowter for 9. With seven overs remaining, 76 runs were still required and that was reduced to 61 off six thanks to Montgomery taking 14 off three deliveries from Parkinson.Aldridge took his fourth wicket when he had Harrison caught at backward point by Clark for 7 and Stone was run out for nought next ball after a complete mix-up. Aldridge completed his career-best figures when he had Montgomery caught behind by Ollie Robinson for 41.

Vinicius Jr ‘seriously considering’ leaving Real Madrid after Clasico chaos unless Xabi Alonso makes key change

Vinicius Jr is reportedly considering leaving Real Madrid as the fallout following his angry reaction to being substituted in Sunday’s Clasico looks set to continue. The Brazil international was left seething after manager Xabi Alonso decided to take him off towards the end of the dramatic 2-1 victory over rivals Barcelona at the Santiago Bernabeu.

Vinicius believed to have shouted 'I'm leaving' towards Alonso

In a fiery encounter between the two Spanish giants, with a brawl erupting between both sets of players after full time, Vinicius contributed to the tension following his reaction to being withdrawn after 72 minutes. Ranting as he headed towards the touchline, the 25-year-old is believed to have shouted ”Always me” towards Alonso, before saying "I'm leaving the team, it's better if I leave, I'm leaving."

Vinicius then stormed down the tunnel, only to return several minutes later as league leaders Real secured a precious three points which saw them move five clear of Barcelona in La Liga. He was then involved in the post-match fracas which took place after the final whistle, arguing with Barcelona winger Lamine Yamal, who was at the centre of the scuffle.

AdvertisementAFPBrazil international is now reportedly weighing up his options

And in a new report from Spanish publication Vinicius is now "seriously considering leaving" due to a perceived lack of trust from Alonso. The report claims that the former Flamengo forward does not believe his past achievements are being respected by the Real head coach, having scored 111 goals in 336 appearances since joining Real in 2018. Vinicius has lifted 14 trophies with Los Blancos, including three La Liga titles and two Champions League crowns.

The report also claims that Vinicius’ anger to being substituted has not gone down well with the Real hierarchy, who are believed to be fully supportive of Alonso’s decision. Having played for the club between 2009 and 2014, lifting five major honours including the 2014 Champions League, the 43-year-old returned to the club in the summer after replacing Carlo Ancelotti as manager.

Vinicius willing to stay at Real if Alonso makes one key change

The report concludes by saying that while Vinicius – who is contracted to Real until 2027 – does not want to leave, he feels he will be left with no choice but to seek pastures new if Alonso does not “back” him in the same way he has done with in-form forward Kylian Mbappe. Vinicius has only finished three games in which he has been a starter for Real this season, in addition to not starting in three of the club’s 13 matches in all competitions.

Speaking after the Barcelona game, Vinicius explained his reaction to being substituted, saying: "I have a message to all Madridistas, especially those who came to the Bernabeu and supported us passionately: this is how the Clasico is, there are many things happening on and off the pitch. We try to maintain balance, but that's not always possible. We didn't want to offend anyone, neither the young players nor the fans. We know that when we step onto the pitch, we have to play our role, and that's how it was today. Hala Madrid."

Wolves star undergoes surgery and facing weeks out in new injury blow for Pereira

Wolverhampton Wanderers are still waiting for their first victory of the Premier League season and have suffered an injury blow as they look to get off the canvas.

Wolves prepare to face Brighton in crunch clash

Over the last couple of matches, Wolves have shown small improvements after an EFL Cup victory over Everton and an impressive draw away to Tottenham Hotspur, though there is still a long way to go for Vitor Pereira in his hunt for survival.

Sam Johnstone has emerged as a competent option between the sticks, helping to spark a mini-revival, and Express & Star reporter Liam Keen stated on the outlet’s podcast that he can see the England international growing in stature as he strikes up a fruitful relationship with the Old Gold backline.

He said: “I love the fact he was loud against Spurs. I think it’s really important to pick up on that. And actually, he did it a fair bit against Everton as well. I’m really pleased Johnstone has been able to show – even to a small extent if you will – how good a goalkeeper he can be.”

Jhon Arias has been a revelation behind the scenes at Wolves and is a sign of better things to come. However, they simply have to get off the mark with a first Premier League win of the season at home to Brighton & Hove Albion on Sunday.

Sitting four points adrift, home matches at Molineux are pivotal if Pereira’s men want to climb the table, and there is a feeling that will need to happen sooner rather than later to avoid an unwanted scenario of staring down the barrel.

Three points would breed a new sense of optimism among a support who have had to deal with their fair share of frustration in recent times, though they will need to try and achieve that mission without one of their first-team regulars.

Wolves man Matt Doherty set for over a month on sidelines

Speaking after announcing his Republic of Ireland squad for their upcoming World Cup qualifiers, Heimir Hallgrimsson has confirmed Wolves man Matt Doherty is out for four to five weeks after fracturing his wrist.

He stated: “Jason Knight has a groin injury and is most likely out for four to five weeks. Matt Doherty has a fracture in his wrist and had an operation on it two days ago and is going to miss probably the same amount of time.”

Supporters of the Old Gold will feel optimistic after the latest update from Molineux.

BySean Markus Clifford Sep 29, 2025

Featuring frequently for the Old Gold, Doherty has made five appearances across all competitions this season, coming in at right-back and deputising in a central defensive role when needed.

Nevertheless, news of his injury will come as a substantial blow for Pereira, who now finds himself short on numbers on the right-hand side of his backline amid Ki-Jana Hoever’s knee problems.

Wayne Rooney picks between Celtic and Rangers, wished he played for them

Manchester United and England legend Wayne Rooney has picked between Celtic and Rangers, admitting he wished he played for one of the Glasgow giants.

Wayne Rooney’s record vs Celtic and Rangers

The iconic striker played against both Scottish Premiership giants during his career for the Red Devils in the Champions League.

Under Sir Alex Ferguson, Rooney and United played against Rangers in the 2010/11 Champions League group stage, with the forward scoring the only goal of the game in a win at Ibrox from the penalty spot.

Rooney didn’t have much luck on the other side of Glasgow, though, playing at Celtic Park on two occasions in Europe. The first, in 2006, saw the Red Devils suffer a 1-0 defeat at Parkhead, with Shunsuke Nakamura’s free-kick going down in Hoops history.

Then, the striker came on as a substitute in a 1-1 draw on his second visit, with Ryan Giggs scoring a late equaliser in 2008.

After retiring in 2021, Rooney has tried his luck at management with Derby County, D.C. United, Birmingham City and Plymouth Argyle, while also contributing as a pundit when away from the dugout.

ByCharlie Smith Aug 15, 2025 Wayne Rooney wishes he played for Celtic

Talking in 2024 after a legends match at Old Trafford against a team of Celtic greats, Rooney admitted he wanted to play for Celtic at some point in his career, describing the Parkhead atmosphere as “special”.

Rooney also caught Gary Neville off guard when asked for one team he wished he played for.

The final years of Rooney’s career saw him play for D.C. United and then as a player-manager for Derby County, so the Hoops could have lured him to Parkhead between 2018 and 2021 if they pursued a move.

'Unforgivable from Joao Pedro' – Chelsea fans rage at £60m man and say striker has 'attitude problem' after red card in Champions League win over Benfica

Chelsea attacker Joao Pedro had a night to forget at Stamford Bridge on Tuesday against Benfica in the Champions League despite the 1-0 victory. The Brazil international arrived as a second-half substitute but was sent off deep into stoppage time after picking up two yellow cards and will now serve a ban. The sending off marred a good night for the Blues as they picked up their first Champions League win of the new season.

Pedro sees red as Chelsea grind out narrow win

Enzo Maresca's side beat Benfica 1-0 thanks to a first-half own goal to make it an unhappy return to Stamford Bridge for former boss Jose Mourinho. Pedro Neto and Alejandro Garnacho combined to force defender Richard Rios into an own goal which provided to be decisive. Yet it was a tough night for Pedro who arrived as a substitute in the second-half as Maresca sought the security of a second goal. The Brazilian went into the book within minutes of his arrival and then received another yellow card with just seconds remaining for a high boot.

AdvertisementGetty Images SportFans hit out at 'unforgivable' Pedro sending off

Pedro raised his hands to supporters as he walked off the pitch, seemingly by way of apology, but his actions have certainly not gone down well with supporters.

Chelsea fan @StamfordBrigade posted on X: “Unforgivable for Joao Pedro. he has an attitude problem. he came on in 60th minute. unforgivable to get 2 yellow's as a sub.”

Supporter @KatlegoPodile also criticised the Brazilian: "Joao Pedro is unnecessary dirty man. Elbows players for nothing lol. That second yellow was soft though."

There was some sympathy for Pedro from @DONeill90 who posted: “Joao Pedro has been sent off for an elbow that wasn't and a high foot that made no contact with the player. Misses the Ajax game as a result. What a joke.”

But @CFCKhris wasn't surprised to see Pedro sent off, posting: "I knew Joao Pedro red card wasn’t long before it came. Otamendi kept working on him, intentionally provoking him and it worked."

And @Itengozi called on Chelsea to sanction their summer signing: "Fine Joao Pedro and fine him hard. This is no longer funny. You cannot have 3 consecutive red cards in as many games."

Yet another red card for Chelsea

Chelsea's disciplinary record does not make for good reading this season, with Pedro's red card meaning the Blues have now had players sent off in three of their last four games in all competitions. Maresca's side saw Trevoh Chalobah see red last time out against Burnley, while goalkeeper Robert Sanchez was handed his marching orders early on in the defeat to Manchester United at Old Trafford. 

The incidents saw Maresca urge his players to stop making such mistakes ahead of the match-up with Benfica, telling reporters: "For sure, you can't continue to make mistakes. They are game-changing mistakes. After that, we try to adjust with Josh [Acheampong] inside after being ill for a week. Our two central defenders were Josh and Jorrel [Hato], who do not have many games in the Premier League."

Meanwhile, former Arsenal defender and television pundit Martin Keown feels the sendings off could prove costly. He told TNT Sports: "It's ill discipline and that's something you have to eradicate. It's going to cost you eventually."

Maresca reacts to Pedro's sending off

Maresca was quizzed on Pedro's red card but made light of the sending off after the final whistle. He told TNT Sports: "The good thing is that we are improving, now we can win with 10 players! I think he didn't touch, the second yellow card he didn't touch, but probably the dynamic, the foul is a dangerous one and they gave him a red card."

The Chelsea boss was also happy to see his side pick up their first Champions League win of the campaign: "The effort was very good. The first half I think we were much, much better compared to the second half. We created some chances, we scored a goal. Then second half we dropped a little bit but the effort of the team was very, very good."

آرسنال يتلقى ضربة قوية بغياب نجمه حتى منتصف نوفمبر

تلقى فريق آرسنال ضربة قوية بشأن مدة غياب أحد نجومه البارزين، حسبما ذكرت تقارير صحفية يوم الإثنين، مما يمثل خبرًا سيئًا للمدير الفني ميكيل أرتيتا.

ويحتل آرسنال حاليًا صدارة الدوري الإنجليزي الممتاز برصيد 16 نقطة، بفارق نقطة عن ليفربول الذي تراجع إلى المركز الثاني بعد خسارته أمام تشيلسي بهدفين لهدف مؤخرًا.

وتعرض قائد آرسنال، مارتن أوديجارد، للإصابة في مباراة الجولة الماضية من الدوري الإنجليزي ضد وست هام، حيث اضطر إلى الخروج في الشوط الأول.

وتم استبعاد اللاعب النرويجي، إثر ذلك، من المعسكر الدولي لشهر أكتوبر، ولم يكشف آرسنال موعدًا لتعافيه أو عودته إلى الملاعب.

ولكن شبكة “بي بي سي” العالمية ذكرت أن مارتن أوديجارد لن يعود إلى مباريات آرسنال إلا بعد فترة التوقف الدولي في شهر نوفمبر المقبل، بسبب إصابة الركبة التي يعاني منها حاليًا.

ويعني ذلك الأمر غياب أوديجارد عن مواجهة كل من فولهام، كريستال بالاس، بيرنلي وسندرلاند في الدوري الإنجليزي، وكذلك أتلتيكو مدريد وسلافيا براج في دوري أبطال أوروبا.

وشارك أوديجارد في 7 مباريات لـ آرسنال ذلك الموسم، بواقع 6 في الدوري الإنجليزي ولقاء في دوري أبطال أوروبا، وصنع هدفين.

Rangers midfielder not in Martin's plans and now in talks to leave Ibrox ASAP

A “talented” Glasgow Rangers player is getting closer to leaving the Gers, with a new report claiming he is in talks over a summer move to a new club.

Rangers close in on Neymar-esque starlet

The Gers are edging closer to the start of the new Scottish Premiership season, with new manager Russell Martin no doubt dreaming of winning the title over Celtic in his first season in charge.

Top-quality signings will be needed in that respect, and it looks as though a loan move for Tottenham teenager Mikey Moore is now close to being completed, which promises to be an exciting piece of business.

At just 17, Moore is a highly-rated winger who could be such an eye-catching performer for Rangers, with James Maddison even comparing him to Neymar: “From minute 45 to 65 I thought we had Neymar on the left wing. He was brilliant. Just demanding the ball and fearless. [He has] that young, fearless mentality and you never want to take that away from him. He’s a young kid, a brilliant lad, a lovely boy.”

While much focus at Ibrox is rightly on new signings, there are current players who could depart this summer, including Hamza Igamane. Now, a key update has emerged regarding another individual.

Rangers winger in talks over summer exit

According to a new claim from RTI Esporte [via Sport Witness], Rangers midfielder Jose Cifuenes is in talks with Sport Recife over a move away this summer.

The 26-year-old has been frozen out by Martin, not playing a part in pre-season at Ibrox, and he is keen on securing an exit before the new season gets underway.

It feels like the right decision for all parties to allow Cifuentes to move on this summer, especially as his manager clearly doesn’t consider him an important part of his plans moving forward.

The Ecuadorian is a good footballer, though, so there is always a potential risk in allowing him to leave, with former Gers manager Michael Beale praising him in the past.

“He is clearly a talented player and the more he plays, the more people will be aware of that. He is a player we brought in with high hopes for and this gives him an opportunity to have a run in the team now.”

ByDan Emery Jul 29, 2025

If Cifuentes does leave Rangers, he will depart with only 20 appearances to his name since arriving from Los Angeles FC in 2023, which is disappointing, and it may simply be looked back on as a signing that didn’t work out, despite moments of quality thrown in.

Mbeumo will love him: Man Utd submit £43m bid to sign "phenomenal" star

Manchester United have been known to splash the cash over recent years, forking out £600m under the guidance of former boss Erik ten Hag, but more money looks set to be spent during this window.

Current manager Ruben Amorim has already spent nearly £100m since taking the reins back in November, with Patrick Dorgu and Matheus Cunha two of the additions made since his arrival.

However, there’s no denying that added funds will need to be spent this window if the club are to rise up the Premier League table and prevent a repeat of last season, which saw the side finish in 15th place.

The Red Devils have now gone over a decade without a league triumph, something that Amorim has been tasked with changing, but it’s safe to say it will be a long-term project to transform the side.

Money will need to be spent to back the 40-year-old in the market, leading to numerous names being mentioned as potential targets for the ongoing window.

The latest on United’s hunt for new additions this summer

Over the last couple of days, striker Ollie Watkins has emerged as a potential addition to the side, after United made contact with Aston Villa over a move for the England international.

He’s not the only forward who’s been on their radar in recent days, with talks also being held with Chelsea over a move for French forward Christopher Nkunku.

However, key work has also been done in the midfield department, with the Red Devils making huge strides in a deal for PSG’s Fabian Ruiz, according to one Spanish outlet.

The report claims that Amorim’s side has a €50m (£43m) offer ‘on the table’ for the Spanish international, who won the Champions League with Luis Enrique’s side at the end of last season.

It also states that the 29-year-old could be open to a potential move to Old Trafford, with the hierarchy seeing him as a crucial part of the puzzle in their quest for future success.

Why United’s £43m target would be perfect for Mbeumo

Bryan Mbeumo is a player who’s been firmly on their radar on United’s radar over the last few weeks, with the saga showing no signs of coming to an end soon.

The Brentford star has been the subject of two separate bids from Amorim’s side, with their latest offer of £55m plus £7.5m in add-ons being rejected by Keith Andrews’ men.

However, the Cameroonian, who scored 20 league goals last season, has previously stated his desire to move to Old Trafford, but he could end up staying at the GTEC beyond the summer window.

It’s expected that the Red Devils are to return with another offer, which could see them get closer to the Bees’ asking price, potentially putting an end to their summer-long pursuit.

Given his record in front of goal, he will likely hand the club the needed threat they’ve been hunting for, but he would certainly be aided in his attempts with a move for Fabian.

When delving into the Spaniard’s stats from the 2024/25 campaign in Ligue 1, he possesses a lot of talents that would see him star alongside Mbeumo at Old Trafford.

Fabian, who’s been labelled “phenomenal” by journalist Zach Lowy, has registered 9.6 progressive passes per 90, and 2.2 progressive carries per 90, showcasing his ability to take the ball into forward areas.

He also notched 1.7 key passes per 90 and completed 7.3 passes into the final third, having the tools to provide the likes of Mbeumo ahead of him with the opportunity to thrive.

The Spaniard has also thrived without the ball, winning 1.7 tackles per 90, and making 1.3 clearances – handing Amorim the perfect box-to-box option within his 3-4-2-1 system.

It’s unclear if the French outfit would accept the rumoured proposal for the midfielder, but it’s clear that he has the tools to thrive under the 40-year-old at Old Trafford.

The prospect of Ruiz linking up with Mbeumo at the Theatre of Dreams is certainly an exciting one, potentially having the ability to catapult the club one step closer to the top end of the table.
