Alfred Nkhoma, 47, received a four-year prison term with hard labor from the Nkhotakota Second Grade Magistrate Court after stealing items worth K540,000. He took a tire, a car jack, and vehicle papers from Lameck Chibuli in August 2025.
Nkhoma first bought a tire from Chibuli for K140,000 in the Phangwa area. He then asked Chibuli to follow him home for another tire and promised to return with money and documents. Chibuli gave him the money and papers, but Nkhoma disappeared. Police arrested him on September 20, 2025, at Nkhotakota bus depot while he traveled to Lilongwe. The court learned he had prior similar crimes. Magistrate Stonald Nthala said the sentence should discourage others from theft.
Inter Miami confirmed this evening that Lionel Messi will stay with the club until summer 2028. The Argentine captain signed a new deal to continue his career in Major League Soccer.
The club shared the news in an official video on its social media. Messi first joined Inter Miami in July 2023 as a free agent after leaving European football.
He has since led the team’s growth and earned major honors. In 2024, he won the league’s Best Player award. In 2025, he claimed the Golden Boot after scoring twenty-nine goals in twenty-eight matches.
Manchester United plans to bring in Conor Gallagher in the winter transfer window. The English midfielder wants to return home, and Atletico Madrid may let him go.
United sees Gallagher as a strong, energetic addition to its midfield. His skills could fill the gap left by Kobe Mainoo’s reduced role. The club tried to sign him on loan last summer, but Atletico said no.
Now, Atletico faces a hard choice. Though Gallagher rarely starts for coach Diego Simeone, his versatility and team value make the club cautious. It will likely wait for a strong offer before agreeing to a deal.
A loan with an option to buy may be the path both sides take. Gallagher favors a return to England to boost his form and earn a spot in the national team.

Young Spanish striker Gonzalo Garcia may leave Real Madrid in the winter transfer window. English clubs have shown strong interest because he plays little under coach Xabi Alonso.
Aston Villa, Fulham, and West Ham United all want him. Villa leads the race and may offer twenty million euros. They see him as a possible replacement for Ollie Watkins. Fulham and West Ham also seek attacking help after struggling to score this season.
Real Madrid would rather loan him out than sell him. The club hopes he gains experience and returns stronger later.
Garcia now faces a key choice: stay with the royal club or move to England for regular game time.

Al-Ahli Jeddah won one–nil against Al-Najma on Thursday evening at Al-Najma Club Stadium. The match was part of the sixth round of the Saudi Roshen Professional League.

Yassine Bounou, Morocco’s goalkeeper at Al Hilal, praised the national under-20 team for winning the 2025 FIFA U-20 World Cup. He called it a first in Moroccan football history and said he felt deep pride.
He said the young players showed courage and belief against strong teams like Argentina, France, and Brazil. They no longer feel less than others but know they belong among the best. He added that the win sends a message: Morocco now has global recognition through football.
Bounou stressed the need for steady growth in African football. He noted Morocco’s progress in management, training, and facilities. Africa has great talent, he said, but success needs strong systems. Morocco shows the way and gives hope to others.
He follows...
The Appeals Committee of the Spanish Football Federation upheld Hans Flick’s one-match ban. Barcelona had appealed the suspension, but the committee rejected the request, as reported by Mundo Deportivo.
Flick received two yellow cards near the end of the match against Girona. The first came in the 90th minute for clapping in protest. The second followed right after for a gesture of disagreement. Two yellows led to an automatic one-game suspension.
The committee backed referee Jesus Gil Manzano’s report under Article 27 of the disciplinary code, which makes on-field calls final unless a clear error exists. Video evidence from Barcelona did not change the outcome.
Barcelona may still ask the Court of Arbitration for Sport for a...
