Al Ittihad studies Leandro Barreiro but does not advance

Dia de Jogo — jornal desportivo29 August 2026 at 10:45

Al Ittihad, a club from Saudi Arabia, placed Leandro Barreiro, a midfielder from Benfica, on the list of players who could be signed. The club studied the possibility of moving forward with the player's signing.

However, sources indicate that Al Ittihad is unlikely to actually submit a formal offer for the Portuguese midfielder. The possibility is being considered, but without great prospects of materializing.

The 24-year-old player belongs to Benfica and has been the subject of interest from several clubs throughout the last season. Barreiro's contractual situation with the reds is not specified in this news report.

There is no official confirmation from any of the parties involved. Neither Benfica nor Al Ittihad have issued statements about this potential transfer.

Tampa approves financing and Rays get closer to getting a new $2.3 billion stadium

The Tampa City Council approved, by a 4-3 vote, the city's $80 million participation in the project to build a new $2.3 billion stadium for the Tampa Bay Rays. The new complex, expected to be built on the Dale Mabry campus, will have capacity for 31,000 fans and is expected to be ready by 2029. The baseball team will be responsible for more than $1.3 billion of the total investment. The vote generated heated debates, with supporters highlighting job creation and economic development, while critics questioned the use of public resources to benefit private investors. The approval marks a decisive step toward ending decades of uncertainty about the franchise's future, which since 1998 has played at Tropicana Field in St. Petersburg.
