Man City signs Brazilian defender Vitor Reis for $36 million

by

MANCHESTER, England — Manchester City signed a second defender in two days by confirming on Tuesday the acquisition of Vitor Reis, a 19-year-old Brazilian. Reis arrives from Palmeiras after a payment of 35 million euros (36 million dollars). Abdukodir Khusanov, Uzbek defender for Lens in France, signed with City on Monday for four and a half years. The length of Reis’s contract was not provided. “When there was a knock on the door and it was Manchester City, I knew there was nowhere else to go,” Reis was quoted as saying by the club. “I think it will be the biggest challenge of my life, but any player who wants to play elite football has to come here.” “Everyone has seen the incredible achievements of the last few seasons. “I want to leave my mark as we look for more titles,” he added. The champions of the last four Premier League seasons have been very active in the January transfer market after an alarming poor run of form before Christmas. City is fifth in the standings, 12 points behind leader Liverpool. Those led by Pep Guardiola are also suffering to qualify for the round of 16 of the Champions League. Another player in their sights is Omar Marmoush, Egyptian striker for Eintracht Frankfurt. According to press reports, the operation could cost 75 million euros (77 million dollars). Reis played in the 2023 U17 World Cup with Brazil and played 22 games in the Palmeiras first team. “Vitor Reis is one of the most promising young defenders in the world and we are delighted to have been able to bring him here,” said City director of football Txiki Begiristain. “He is excellent with the ball and outstanding in the air. “He has all the necessary qualities to be one of the best.” The signings of Reis and Khusanov, also a centre-back, come after injuries to several City defenders, including Ruben Dias, John Stones and Nathan Ake. The most important injury has been the one suffered by Spanish midfielder Rodri Hernández. The Ballon d’Or winner will miss the rest of the season after damaging the anterior cruciate ligament and meniscus in his right knee. Guardiola recently admitted that his squad was not deep enough to cope with the schedule. Traditionally, City have preferred to close big signings for the summer months, but Guardiola has chosen to bring in reinforcements now. City will face Paris Saint-Germain in the Champions League on Wednesday, with both teams in danger of being eliminated.

Man City is on the brink of elimination from the Champions League after losing to PSG

by

PARIS — Manchester City are on the brink of a humiliating exit from the Champions League after a shock defeat to Paris Saint-Germain on Wednesday, and Real Madrid are no longer at risk after sweeping Salzburg. Manchester City blew a two-goal lead in a high-stakes clash between underperforming millionaires that PSG won 4-2 in Paris, and could still be eliminated alongside the English champions after the final round of matches next week. Only the top 24 in the 36-team standings will advance and Manchester City, the 2023 champions, will start in 25th place needing to beat Club Brugge to enter the elimination round. PSG, now in 22nd place, will play at Stuttgart, which is in 24th place. Reigning champions Real Madrid are safe, rising from 22nd place at the start of Wednesday to 16th place after thrashing Salzburg 5-1. Arsenal and Inter Milan earned expected wins to move up to third and fourth place respectively, although they are still unsure of joining Liverpool and Barcelona in advancing directly to the round of 16. Arsenal beat Dinamo Zagreb 3-0 and Inter won 1-0 at Sparta Prague. Bayern Munich was defeated 3-0 at Feyenoord, with a pair of goals from the Mexican Santi Giménez, and dropped to 15th place in the mid-table tangle of historic clubs—including Madrid and Juventus—that run the risk of facing each other in the elimination rounds in February. Every question of qualification and elimination will be decided in a likely frantic eighth and final round of matches next Wednesday. All 36 teams will be in action in 18 matches that will begin at the same time, with only the first 24 advancing to the elimination phase. Manchester City looked set to bring PSG closer to elimination by taking a two-goal lead early in the second half. Jack Grealish, a half-time substitute, scored in the 50th minute and then set up Erling Haaland for a second four minutes later. Within six remarkable minutes, PSG were level, with goals from Ousmane Dembele and Bradley Barcola, and a stunning comeback was completed in the 78th when Joao Neves headed the decisive goal. Goncalo Ramos added a fourth in stoppage time. AC Milan quietly climbed to sixth place with a 1-0 win against Girona at the San Siro, and Celtic advanced by winning 1-0 against Young Boys, who lost a seventh game in a row. Sporting Lisbon faces possible elimination next week after losing 2-1 to Leipzig, ending a six-match losing streak, and Shakhtar Donetsk stayed in contention – just barely – with a 2-0 win against the emerging Brest, which will be in the elimination phase. ___ This story was translated from English by an AP editor with the help of a generative artificial intelligence tool.

Wisconsin man accused of setting fire to lawmaker’s office over TikTok ban

by

MADISON, Wisconsin, USA — A Wisconsin man who allegedly told police he tried to set fire to a lawmaker’s office because he was upset with the federal ban on the social media platform TikTok was charged Wednesday with multiple counts, including one of arson. Fond du Lac County District Attorney Eric Toney filed a complaint against 19-year-old Caiden Stachowicz, charging him with felony arson, making terrorist threats, attempted robbery and criminal damage. property. If convicted of all charges, he would face a sentence of more than 50 years in prison. Stachowicz, a native of Menasha City, was scheduled to make his first court appearance Wednesday morning. Online court records indicated Judge Tricia Walker set cash bail for him at $500,000 and ordered him to have no contact with Republican U.S. Rep. Glenn Grothman or his staff. He was also prohibited from possessing any dangerous weapons or materials to start a fire. Records showed Stachowicz appeared via video call from jail. His lawyer could not be contacted at this time. According to the complaint, a police officer responded to a fire outside Grothman’s office in Fond du Lac around 1 a.m. Sunday and saw Stachowicz standing near the site. The officer said that while he was working to put out the flames with his fire extinguisher, Stachowicz told him he started the fire because he doesn’t like Grothman. The officer handcuffed Stachowicz and took him to the police department. Firefighters and police quickly extinguished the fire, limiting the damage. During an interview at the police department, Stachowicz told the officer that he bought gasoline and matches to start a fire in Grothman’s office, according to the complaint. He said he tried to get into the office so he could start the fire inside, but he couldn’t break the window. He then poured the gasoline into an electrical box at the back of the building and around the front of the building, lit a match and watched it burn, the complaint adds. He noted that he wanted to burn the building because the US government was shutting down TikTok and Grothman voted “in favor” of banning the social network, according to the complaint. Grothman voted in favor of a bill in April last year that forced TikTok’s China-based parent company, ByteDance, to sell its US operation by Sunday. Stachowicz said he believed the closure violated his constitutional rights. He added that he had participated in peaceful protests in the past, but no longer believes peace is an option, the complaint states. “Caiden said it was a government building and he wanted to cause a disruption and make a point by starting the fire in the building,” according to the complaint. “Caiden commented that he wished the entire building had burned down.” When asked if he expected people to be inside the building, he said no and that he didn’t want to hurt anyone, and he didn’t want to hurt Grothman either. TikTok went down in the US on Saturday afternoon, but the platform was back up and running hours later after then-President-elect Donald Trump said he would try to give ByteDance more time to find a buyer. Trump signed an executive order Monday after taking office instructing the U.S. attorney general not to implement the ban for 75 days. When asked to comment on the charges, Grothman spokeswoman Noelle Young responded by saying Grothman would call The Associated Press directly. However, the lawmaker had not contacted the AP as of Wednesday afternoon.
