Big Transfers That Could Change the Qualifying Picture

Liverpool is close to snapping up Alexander Isak for around £130‑140 million.

In rugby, the 2025 Six Nations schedule is set, and every match will be a qualifier for the title. Ireland, the defending champions, will need to stay sharp against England and France to keep their crown.

Across sports, the common thread is clear: each win, each signing, each strategic decision can be the difference between qualifying for the next round or watching from the sidelines. Stay updated here for the stories that could reshape the season.
