Public correction log

  1. Athekame’s Lyon loan leaves a longer Milan contract horizon · Emre DİLEK

    Further source check: Football Italia’s later report says the clubs announced the loan and medical/signature were complete. The same article body now states completion. No named competition is given, but the loan itself is reported complete, not merely a link.

  2. Ibrahim Mbaye’s earlier Liverpool link was followed by an Aston Villa move · Emre DİLEK

    Further source check: ESPN expressly relays RMC; first substantial reporting and independent confirmation are not established by the supplied reports. Remove the unsupported description of ESPN as independent confirmation from the source-assessment panel as well as the update note.

  3. Nathan Collins doubtful for Ireland's Nations League opener with calf injury · Emre DİLEK

    Further source check: Andrews said he would not be involved this side of the international break, not throughout it.

  4. Jay Robinson linked with Monza loan move from Southampton — per Football Italia · Emre DİLEK

    Further source check: Football Italia explicitly says a straight season-long loan without an option or obligation to buy; the live route says Loan with obligation.

  5. El Mala strikes as Blessin’s Gladbach begin with derby defeat at Köln · Emre DİLEK

    Further source check: Guardian results table gives Köln 2-1 Mönchengladbach. The live publication-record latest-update note still says 1-0.

  6. Aston Villa beat Club Brugge 3-2 in Champions League opener · Emre DİLEK

    Further source check: This is Villa’s match against Club Brugge; John McGinn scoring is not a permanent transfer to Aston Villa.

  7. Solomon’s West Ham signing: why the reported fee and earlier package differ · Emre DİLEK

    Source check, 13 October 2026: BBC reports completed three-year signing. Correct false single-source claim and distinguish the two supplied publisher reports. The source list includes BBC and Standard. Remove false no-second-source assertion. BBC and Standard were both retrieved; these are two publishers describing different stages. The evidence set is not limited to one source.

  8. Tottenham’s Villa defeat exposed a different problem from their cup exit · Emre DİLEK

    Source check, 13 October 2026: The source supports the three news paragraphs; “tags=[” is a generation artifact with no editorial content.

  9. Dayann Methalie’s Toulouse record: 22 starts from 27 appearances · Emre DİLEK

    Source check, 13 October 2026: Toulouse’s announcement supersedes the pending-agreement status; the source set no longer rests entirely on the Guardian.

  10. Pejcinovic’s Stuttgart signing followed a reported 38.89 per cent rise from the opening bid · Emre DİLEK

    Source check, 13 October 2026: GGFN explicitly names Demirovic/Undav and medical condition; remove false evidence-denial. Remove false assertion that no Stuttgart forwards are named. Use the source’s actual remaining condition. The source explicitly gives €25m agreement and the earlier €18m/€22m/just-under-€23.5m proposals. Agreement value and prior-bid history are expressly stated. The source explicitly names Chérif, Porto and Leipzig. These details are present in the source and should not be described as unsupported or absent.

  11. Dominik Drobnic on Parma bench · Emre DİLEK

    Source check, 13 October 2026: The source is a Parma defender injury update after playing Genoa. The generation brief instead puts Drobnic in Genoa colours as a speculative transfer destination.

  12. Diomande joins Forest: four guaranteed years and an optional fifth · Emre DİLEK

    Source check, 13 October 2026: BBC says Diomande signed for four years with an option for a further year. BBC and Sky both report completion and a four-year term; Sky specifies the fixed fee. BBC provides completed four-year plus option terms; Sky explicitly provides fixed fee; older GOAL stories were at premedical stage. BBC and Sky establish completion and contract terms. Source count and financial wording in the old ancillary copy are stale.

  13. Lindstrom’s Salzburg terms cannot be inferred from the failed Schalke proposal · Emre DİLEK

    Source check, 13 October 2026: The historical Schalke dispute must remain separate from Napoli’s official Salzburg confirmation.

  14. Mudryk’s Tottenham loan preserved two terms after the Leeds route closed · Emre DİLEK

    Source check, 13 October 2026: Newest Standard report says closed the door on Leeds. Talks ended with no agreement. Current cited Standard explicitly ends talks; do not speculate Leeds remain in active picture. Remove speculative revival condition. Reflect ended talks rather than a live link. Remove prospective close-the-door condition: the latest report already says Chelsea ended this route. Remove mid-stage assessment contradicted by ended negotiations. Correct missing alternatives claim. The Standard: talks continued over the weekend but ended with no agreement reached. The source says Chelsea no longer considered Leeds a viable loan destination.

  15. Athekame’s Lyon loan leaves a longer Milan contract horizon · Emre DİLEK

    Source check, 13 October 2026: Current Football Italia update reports official loan and completed medical/signature. Update distinguishes official loan structure from believed salary coverage. Current update reports completion, no purchase option, June 2030 Milan contract and prior-season appearances. One-year dry loan, no option, replaces earlier agreement-stage account. Completion is reported through Football Italia; salary coverage remains believed. The update expressly states medical tests and signature occurred. Distinguish reported salary coverage from club-confirmed loan format. Two articles, one publisher, later completion scope. Later completion article distinguishes announcements and loan structure from believed salary coverage. The later source reports the announced temporary move. Earlier and later sources are different stages from one publisher. Completed one-season loan is established by the later report; selection is not. Loan completion is no longer merely proposed. Reported announcements and direct retrieval are distinguished. Medical and signature are complete in the cited later report.

  16. Gutierrez’s reported fee exceeds even Grimaldo’s maximum sale package · Emre DİLEK

    Source check, 13 October 2026: Source provides approximate €26m base and €30m maximum. Source explicitly supplies Grimaldo replacement, two roles and Moreira. Source provides 2031 and approximate fee split but no wages or triggers. Approximate split is reported; it is not absent from the evidence. Approximate €4m potential add-ons follow the reported base/maximum difference. Replacement and price ranges are both supplied by the source. The current report contains a fee split and 2031 term.

  17. Liverpool’s Sarr approach: what the August reports agree on, and what they do not · Emre DİLEK

    Source check, 13 October 2026: The Standard explicitly says checks, with no bid or formal talks.

  18. Gudmundsson’s Lazio loan changes the purchase commitment from his Fiorentina move · Emre DİLEK

    Source check, 13 October 2026: Latest cited source reports completed loan. Do not downgrade already reported completion to a speculative link. Replace stage contradiction and unsupported generic tactical/financial assertions with sourced completion and fee attribution. Latest source reports completion. Separate reported completion from future purchase. Remove false pending-stage interpretation. Latest reported stage and attributed financial terms. Cited report specifies a loan, not a permanent transfer. Remove generic or pending-stage assertions contradicted by reported loan completion. Latest cited Football Italia account reports the loan signed. Distinguish publisher count from reported completion. Completion report says the move is completed; earlier article describes medical permission.

  19. El Mala stayed at Köln after Dortmund’s reported summer offers · Emre DİLEK

    Source check, 13 October 2026: The original second-bid rejection is followed by later GGFN reports of a higher planned structure. The sources cover a rejected package and later proposed/acceptable structures, not a completed move. Later GGFN specifies €37m+€8m rejected, around €50m next proposal, and Konstantelias; the Matthäus piece supplies the subsequent €48m+€2m+€5m account. The later GGFN source specifies successive bids, player willingness, attacking context and Konstantelias as an alternative.

  20. Juventus confirm Nico Gonzalez renewal to 2030 after earlier talks report · Emre DİLEK

    Source check, 13 October 2026: Football Italia describes the Argentine Juventus player returning from Atletico Madrid; this reference is Nicolás González Iglesias, born 2002, a Newcastle midfielder. The cover prompt explicitly names this incompatible identity. The generated image prompt names Nicolás González Iglesias of Newcastle, while the source is about the Argentine Juventus player. Suppress the generated asset until correct identity is resolved.

  21. Curtis Jones joined Inter after Liverpool approach reports · Emre DİLEK

    Source check, 13 October 2026: The two published accounts agree but do not disclose enough underlying sourcing to certify independence. The source text supports published corroboration, not proof of independent sourcing; additional attached reports give injury and possible outgoing-player context.

  22. Hakan Calhanoglu started for Inter against Parma after thigh injury · Emre DİLEK

    Source check, 13 October 2026: Club quote confirms diagnosis and assessment; absence is attributed by article to Gazzetta and Sky. Avoid upgrading media availability expectation into direct official confirmation. Remove club-confirmed absence and unsupported short-term prognosis.

  23. Hugo Larsson’s Fulham loan has a conditional purchase obligation · Emre DİLEK

    Source check, 13 October 2026: GGFN’s official-transfer report states a completed loan and subsequent mandatory permanent purchase. Completed 2026/27 loan, mandatory purchase and Kicker’s approximately €22m figure are explicit. Earlier medical report discussed about €25m. GGFN’s latest source says the loan occurred and purchase is mandatory; earlier medical reports cannot remain the current stage.

  24. Real Madrid confirmed Mastantuono’s Fiorentina loan through June 2027 · Emre DİLEK

    Source check, 13 October 2026: Partial wage support alone does not establish financial feasibility.

  25. Everton’s Barry review: offside position and opponent impact · Emre DİLEK

    Source check, 13 October 2026: Sky timeline places the disallowed goal/VAR intervention at minute 58.

  26. Diouf fee reports agree on the ceiling but differ on the guaranteed share · Emre DİLEK

    Source check, 13 October 2026: The live BBC page says Brentford have signed Diouf. The BBC explicitly reports contract length and fee breakdown. The BBC records completion, five years plus option and £35m+£5m; The Standard is the earlier medical-stage report. The checked BBC page confirms completion and the terms quoted here.

  27. Bournemouth’s Europa League debut win and the meaning of tenth place · Emre DİLEK

    Source check, 13 October 2026: Use the same league-phase competition description as the body.

  28. Palhinha joined Benfica after reported Aston Villa talks · Emre DİLEK

    Source check, 13 October 2026: The article itself and BBC report do not establish the negotiated transfer structure; a permanent route label should not imply otherwise.

  29. Abu Farchi’s goal celebration: second caution explains the dismissal · Emre DİLEK

    Source check, 13 October 2026: The Guardian says the celebration appeared to mimic a snooker cue and distinguishes that from some reports describing a gun. The source records competing interpretations of the celebration. The live account explicitly qualifies the disputed gesture, gives the prior snooker explanation, and supports the score, scorers and timing. The current Guardian account disputes the original gesture interpretation. The equaliser was not disallowed.

  30. Nathan Collins doubtful for Ireland's Nations League opener with calf injury · Emre DİLEK

    Source check, 13 October 2026: Andrews says this side of the international break, not absence throughout the break.
