UEFA clears Milan, Aston Villa, Brighton to play in Europe

UEFA on Friday authorised AC Milan, Aston Villa and Brighton to take part in European competitions next season after they made changes to avoid potential conflict with the multi-club ownership rule.

Seven-time European champions Milan share the same US owners, RedBird Capital Partners, as French Cup winners Toulouse, while Villa’s owners have a stake in Portuguese club Vitoria Guimaraes.

Brighton owner Tony Bloom became the majority shareholder of Union Saint-Gilloise when he bought the Belgian side in 2018.

European football’s governing body had appointed investigators to study the links between the teams in question, but said it was now satisfied “no one has control or decisive influence over more than one club” participating in its competitions.

“Following the implementation of significant changes by the clubs and their related investors, the CFCB First Chamber accepted the admission of the aforementioned clubs to the UEFA club competitions for the 2023/24 season,” UEFA said in a statement.

“The CFCB found that the significant changes implemented brought the clubs into compliance with the multi-club ownership rule.

It added: “These changes substantially restrict the investors’ influence and decision-making power over more than one club, ensuring compliance with the multi-club ownership rule.”

UEFA has multi-club ownership regulations in place to protect the integrity of its competitions when such teams could be drawn to play each other.

Rules do not allow a club to hold or deal in securities or shares of another club playing in a European competition and no club can be a member of any other club participating in UEFA competitions.

Additionally, no person has the power to be “simultaneously involved” in the management, administration or sporting performance of more than one club.

As part of complying with the rules, none of the affected clubs will be able to transfer players to each other, whether permanently or on loan, until September 2024.

Milan are due to play in the Champions League, with Brighton, Union and Toulouse in the Europa League. Villa and Vitoria are both in the qualifying rounds of the Conference League.

Mbappe labels PSG 'divisive' amid contract standoff

Kylian Mbappe has provided further evidence of a deteriorating relationship with Paris Saint-Germain, describing the Ligue 1 club as “divisive” days after being given an ultimatum over a contract extension.

“I think that playing for PSG doesn’t help much because it’s a divisive team, a divisive club,” he said, without elaborating, in an interview with France Football magazine, as translated by Reuters.

It’s the latest chapter in a prolonged saga that intensified in June when the striker said he wouldn’t sign an extension and was happy to play out his current deal, which expires June 2024.

However, PSG are unwilling to lose the 24-year-old superstar for free next summer and would want to recoup the €180 million they spent to sign him from AS Monaco in 2017. Club president Nasser Al-Khelaifi said last week that Mbappe “must sign a new contract” if he wants to remain at PSG next season.

But the Frenchman is expected to stand firm, fueling reports of a possible transfer to Real Madrid this summer.

Real Madrid are hopeful of bringing the World Cup winner to the Spanish capital in a transfer they expect to cost over €200 million, ESPN’s Julien Laurens and Rodrigo Faez report.

However, Los Blancos have been reluctant to make the first move, according to Laurens and Faez, after failing in their attempt to sign Mbappe last summer when he surprisingly extended his PSG contract.

Legendary goalkeeper Van der Sar in intensive care

Iconic Dutch goalkeeper Edwin van der Sar is in intensive care after suffering bleeding around his brain.

The 52-year-old is in stable condition, his former club Ajax revealed.

“Everyone at Ajax wishes Edwin a speedy recovery. We’re thinking of you,” the club added.

Van der Sar joined the Ajax board in 2012 after a sensational career between the sticks. He was named chief executive in 2016 but resigned from the position in May.

As a player, he earned 130 caps for the Netherlands and represented his country at five major tournaments. He ranks second in appearances for the men’s team after Wesley Sneijder (134).

Van der Sar won two Champions League trophies, eight domestic league titles, and various other honors through his stints with Ajax, Juventus, Fulham, and Manchester United before retiring in 2011.

“Sending all our love and strength to you, Edwin,” Manchester United tweeted.
