Sport today is being shaped as much by transfer intrigue and contract brinkmanship as by performances on the field. Cape Verde’s 40-year-old World Cup hero Vozinha appears set for a remarkable move to Colo Colo after his tournament saves against Spain and Argentina turned him into one of Chile’s hottest targets, while Arsenal are cautiously monitoring Vinicius Junior’s uncertain place at Real Madrid without yet making a concrete move. In Budapest, Lando Norris delivered the day’s sharpest sporting statement, snatching Hungarian Grand Prix pole with a late lap that denied Lewis Hamilton a long-awaited return to the front. In the NFL, Patriots owner Robert Kraft has gone public with a record offer to Christian Gonzalez, underlining how badly New England wants to lock up its young cornerback. And in cycling, the Tour de France finale has been cut short as wildfires force security and emergency resources elsewhere.
