Premier League clubs to discuss bringing transfer deadline forward to before season starts

Premier League clubs will discuss the proposed introduction of a new summer transfer window that closes before the opening game of next season. It is understood talks will take place between every club next month about whether to change the deadline of the current window, which closes nearly three weeks after the first game of the season. Sky Sports News  has been told by sources that the "majority" of top-flight clubs currently favour an earlier closure, and the issue could be voted on during their next shareholders' meeting in September. Philippe Coutinho's Liverpool future is in doubt and he has missed their opener At least 14 of the Premier League's 20 clubs must agree for a new rule to be introduced.

Cristiano Ronaldo handed five-match ban for red card against Barcelona

Cristiano Ronaldo has been given a five-match ban following his red card in Real Madrid's Spanish Super Cup first leg 3-1 win over Barcelona. The Portugal international was ordered off after picking up two yellow cards, one for taking his shirt off after putting Real 2-1 ahead with 10 minutes remaining, and a second for diving after referee Ricardo De Burgos Bengoetxea ruled that he had tried to win a penalty when challenged by Samuel Umtiti. However, Ronaldo reacted angrily and appeared to push Bengoetxea after receiving his second yellow card just two minutes after scoring and picking up his first caution, and the Spanish football federation (RFEF) has now handed Ronaldo a five-match ban - one for the double booking and another four for pushing the official. Pending an appeal, the 32-year-old's ban will start with the Super Cup second leg against Barcelona on Wednesday, live on Sky Sports. He will then miss La Liga fixtures away at Deportivo, at home to Valen...

Ernesto Valverde during Sunday's game against Real Madrid |  MIGUEL RUIZ-FCB After his first game in at Camp Nou as coach in official competition,   Ernesto Valverde   tried to be positive in his appearance before press following the defeat against Real Madrid in the first leg of the Spanish Super Cup. “It was a game in which we had some good moments and in which we were caught out on the counter by two great goals,” admitted the new Barça boss.
