After being close to securing the Leicester job a few months ago, Benitez is prepared to restart his coaching career in La Liga. The deal marks his return to Spanish football.
4. Bart Verbruggen Set to Join Brighton: Brighton is on the verge of signing Bart Verbruggen as their new goalkeeper. The agreement has been in place since last week, and contracts are being prepared. Verbruggen, a talented Dutch shot-stopper, is expected to undergo medical examinations soon. His arrival is seen as a crucial move for Brighton, with De Zerbi playing a vital role in securing the signing.
