Manchester United extends Johnny Evans’ contract until 2025.
Jonny Evans has signed a new one-year contract with Manchester United, extending his stay until 2025. The 36-year-old’s previous deal expired at the end of June, but he has now committed to fresh terms. Despite United’s injury problems last season, Evans remained a model professional throughout his first season back at the club. The Northern Ireland international, who turns 37 in January, made 30 appearances, including a substitute appearance in the FA Cup final. Upon signing the new contract, Evans said, “Playing for this great club and feeling the support from our incredible fans is always a privilege. Returning last season was an honor, and representing the team alongside fantastic teammates under an excellent manager was a highlight. Winning the FA Cup together was unforgettable, and I know we can challenge for more trophies in the season ahead.”

Spain midfielder, Saúl Ñíguez joins Sevilla from Atlético Madrid.
Saúl is set to leave Atlético Madrid and join Sevilla. An agreement has been reached for Saúl to terminate his contract with Atlético and accept less than 50% of his current salary to make the move. Earlier this summer, Diego Simeone informed Saúl that he was no longer in his plans after a season in which the midfielder made 49 appearances but failed to impress. Saúl, originally from Elche, still had two years remaining on the nine-year contract he signed in 2017 and has been one of Atlético’s top earners despite a steep decline in recent years. Saúl recorded 58 goals and 27 assists for the La Liga giant in 10 seasons. He will travel to Sevilla on Monday for his medical test and contract signing. This transfer marks a significant change for the player and Sevilla, who are looking to improve from last season’s woes.
