Vinicius Junior responds to judgement delivered on racist chanting

Vinicius Junior has delivered a withering response to the Spanish Justice Department’s verdict on the racist abuse aimed at the Real Madrid during a club match earlier this season.
The incident occurred during September’s Madrid derby, with Atletico Madrid fans filmed before the match singing “Vinicius, you are a monkey.”
Things escalated during the game when Vinicius and teammate Rodrygo celebrated Real Madrid’s opening goal in the 2-1 win, with thousands of fans heard performing monkey chants at the pair.
However, in an extraordinary verdict delivered this week, the Justice Department announced that there would be no punishment directed at either club or their fans over the incident.
While the Justice Department acknowledged the ‘disrespectful’ and ‘unpleasant’ nature of the chants, they downplayed their severity by highlighting the context of taking place during a hotly-contested football match between rivals.
The verdict has been met by a wave of criticism, with many horrified by the notion that racial abuse could be considered acceptable if it occurs during the setting of a football match.
Following Brazil’s World Cup defeat against Cameroon, Vinicius himself took to Twitter and offered his own thoughts on the verdict.
“All normal, but we will continue in the fight,” the 22-year-old wrote. “I will not stop. Madrid there is only one of…”
Tudo normal, mas seguiremos na luta. Eu não vou parar. Madrid hay uno solo… 🤙🏾🤍 https://t.co/9riV9uwJR4

Leicester confirm signing of defender Harry Souttar from Stoke City

Leicester have finalised the signing of Australian centre-back Harry Souttar from Stoke on a permanent deal.
The 24-year-old returned from a serious knee injury only weeks before the World Cup but put in some excellent performances as Australia reached the knockout stages.
90min understands that a fee of £15m has been agreed for Souttar, who has now put pen to paper on his contract at the King Power Stadium.
Leicester have endured a tricky winter window, missing out on a number of targets, but they have managed to bring in three new faces.
Brazilian winger Tete has joined on loan from Shakhtar Donetsk after his loan with Lyon was terminated, while 20-year-old Danish left-back Victor Kristiansen will join Souttar in attempting to shore up Brendan Rodgers’ defence.

Keylor Navas joins Nottingham Forest on loan

Nottingham Forest have confirmed the loan signing of Keylor Navas from Paris Saint-Germain until the end of the season.
The Costa Rican comes to the City Ground with a wealth of top level experience having won three UEFA Champions League titles during a lengthy tenure at Real Madrid, before enjoying a stint as PSG’s number one goalkeeper – winning two Ligue 1 titles in that time.
This season however, Navas has been fully usurped by Gianluigi Donnarumma in the PSG goal, meaning that he’s now had to go out on loan to find gametime elsewhere.
A club statement on the signing reads:
“Nottingham Forest is delighted to announce the signing of Keylor Navas from Paris Saint-Germain.
“The goalkeeper has signed on loan for the remainder of the 2022/23 campaign.
“Navas, 36, brings a wealth of international and domestic experience to the Club, having made 564 appearances in a trophy-laden career.”

Nottingham Forest confirm signing of Jonjo Shelvey from Newcastle

Nottingham Forest have completed the signing of midfielder Jonjo Shelvey from Newcastle United.
Shelvey joins on a permanent deal, signing a two-and-a-half-year contract at the City Ground.
“It’s a pleasure to be here. As soon as I found out Forest were interested, it caught my eye straight away and I just couldn’t wait to get down here,” said Shelvey, who will wear the number 6 shirt for Forest.
“It’s a fantastic football club that has so much history and I’m really looking forward to getting started.
“My main goal straight away is to fight for my place in the team and stay there. It’s not going to be easy because there’s a lot of competition for places, but it’s a challenge I’m really looking forward to and the competitiveness can only help the team going forward.
“I spoke to Eddie Howe and he had such good words to say about Steve Cooper. I previously knew of him from my time at Liverpool, so I knew what a fantastic coach he was, but meeting him for the first time has been a breath of fresh air.
“He’s told me what he expects and the high standards he sets, so I can hope I can come and help the team push to stay in the Premier League. I’ve been in this league a long time, I know what it takes to stay up and what it takes to get a good team to gel, so I’m looking forward to getting started and working with the players that are here.”
Forest are also hoping to finalise the signing of Keylor Navas from Paris Saint-Germain later on Deadline Day.
