FIFA&nbsp;has charged English club Arsenal with a fine of 40,000 Swiss Francs and also issued a warning to the club regarding player transfer in relation to&nbsp;2 deals.&nbsp;FIFA&nbsp;investigated the 2018 transfer of Chuba&nbsp;Akpom&nbsp;to Greek club PAOK&nbsp;and Joel Campbell's transfer to Italy's Frosinone. FIFA&nbsp;has claimed that the sell-on clause for both transfers was variable,&nbsp;which means that if either returned to clubs in Britain, Arsenal would receive a larger fee. According to Arsenal's contract, the club would receive 40% of the fee if Akpom&nbsp;was sold to a British club and 30% for any other team. In response to FIFA's&nbsp;charges, Arsenal&nbsp;said that they had not broken any rules and were waiting for FIFA's&nbsp;full-written reasons.

He has now signed a five-year contract with the Bundesliga champions till&nbsp;June 2025. City Manager Pep Guardiola&nbsp;who wanted the&nbsp;former Schalke&nbsp;player to stay said that Sane had rejected 2 or 3 offers for extending his contract.

Barcelona star Lionel&nbsp;Messi&nbsp;has called off his negotiations with the club for renewing his contract for the next season, a Spanish radio station reported on Thursday.

According to the report, Messi&nbsp;was angry about the media leaks that blame him as a troublemaker in the organisation. Earlier,&nbsp;Messi&nbsp;was being held responsible for the January sacking of coach Ernesto Valverde&nbsp;and that he was unhappy about the squad's lack of quality. Messi&nbsp;who has been the club's all-time top-scorer has&nbsp;recently blamed the Spanish club constantly for mismanagement.

Kane though finally had a legal goal in the 90th minute but it was a little too late.&nbsp;Sheffield United extended their top-flight unbeaten run at home&nbsp;against Tottenham&nbsp;to 6 games, whereas&nbsp;Jose Mourinho has now lost 7 Premier League games as Tottenham manager, 1 more defeat than he suffered in his first two seasons in the competition combined as Chelsea boss.
