Kyle Walker transfer news: Man City defender joins AC Milan on loan with option to buy | Football News
Kyle Walker has left Manchester City and joined AC Milan on an initial six-month loan, with the Serie A club having an option to buy him permanently this summer.
The 34-year-old asked to leave City earlier in January with his last appearance for the club coming in the 4-1 home win over West Ham at the start of the month.
City accepted Milan’s formal loan offer on Thursday. The option to buy in the summer is worth around £4.2m (€5m), according to Sky in Italy.
Paul Merson believes Manchester City are making a mistake by letting Kyle Walker leave the club on loan
Walker has helped City win 17 trophies, including six Premier League titles and the Champions League, since joining the club in a £50m deal from Tottenham in 2017.
He was close to joining Bayern Munich after City’s treble win in 2023, but signed a contract extension to keep him at the club until 2026.
Walker departs City having made 319 appearances for the club across seven-and-half-seasons at the Etihad Stadium, while he captained the side for last season’s historic fourth consecutive Premier League title.
The England international will wear the number 32 shirt at AC Milan, who sit eighth in Serie A and are on course to finish in the top eight of the Champions League table with Sergio Conceicao’s occupying sixth spot.
Walker: I’ll be forever grateful to Pep
Walker said he will be “forever grateful” to Man City boss Pep Guardiola, who brought him to the club in 2017.
The ex-Sheffield Utd defender posted on Instagram: “Manchester City… where do I start? Signing for this incredible club in 2017 was a dream come true. Seven years later, winning 17 trophies, including the Champions League and the famous treble is something I could only have dreamt as a child.
“To play alongside so many top players has pushed me to be the best version of myself, and I’m truly grateful for the opportunity I’ve had at the Etihad.

“A huge thank you to so many people, the coaching staff, the kit men and all the backroom staff who work tirelessly behind the scenes. You make every day enjoyable and provide the platform for us to perform at our best.
“To my team-mates, from the moment I walked through the door I felt at home. Thank you for the great memories and for all the success we have shared together. You are friends, but also family for life.
“To Pep Guardiola, thank you for believing in me and working so hard to bring me here in 2017. Together, we’ve celebrated 17 trophies, and your guidance has helped shape me into the player I am today. I’ll be forever grateful.
“To Annie, our children and all my family who have been there and supported me on this journey thank you.
“Most importantly, to the fans – thank you for embracing me as one of your own from day one. Your unwavering support, week in, week out, home and away, will never be forgotten.
“I wish you all constant success going forward. Thank you.”
Walker one of Pep’s most trusted – but time catches up with everyone
Sky Sports News reporter Ben Ransom:
By the end of his first season in charge, Pep Guardiola had realised that it would take a massive overhaul of the Manchester City squad to win the trophies he’d been brought in to deliver.
Ten regular first-team players were shown the exit door in the summer of 2017 and a raft of new talent was brought in to pave the way for an era of domestic dominance.
Central to that was the signing of Kyle Walker, who at the time was the most expensive defender in English football history, arriving from Tottenham for a fee worth more than £50m including add-ons.
Guardiola needed more energy from his full-backs to realise his vision, and Walker was seen to be the perfect upgrade on fan-favourite Pablo Zabaleta, who was released at the age of 32.
Eyebrows were raised at the time, but in the seven-and-a-half years since, Walker has repaid that transfer fee many times over.

In a surprising move, Manchester City defender Kyle Walker has joined AC Milan on loan with an option to buy. The 31-year-old English right-back has been a key player for City since joining from Tottenham Hotspur in 2017, but has seen his playing time reduced in recent seasons.Walker’s move to Milan comes as a bit of a shock, as he was expected to stay at City for the foreseeable future. However, the opportunity to join the Serie A giants on loan with an option to make the move permanent was too good to turn down.
Milan are currently in need of defensive reinforcements and Walker’s experience and quality will undoubtedly be a valuable addition to their squad. It remains to be seen whether the move will be made permanent at the end of the season, but Walker will be hoping to impress during his time in Italy.
City fans will no doubt be sad to see Walker leave, but will wish him all the best in his new adventure at Milan. Stay tuned for more updates on this developing transfer news.

Emmy Award-winning actor, Colman Domingo, has reportedly joined the cast of Gus Van Sant’s upcoming hostage thriller film Dead Man’s Wire. The movie is based on a 70s’ true story of a man named Tony Kirtsis who abducted Indianapolis mortgage broker, Dick Hall, and held him hostage.
Nosferatu star, Bill Skarsgard, will play the lead role alongside Dacre Montgomery (from Stranger Things), and Colman Domingo. Recently, Domingo opened up about Dead Man’s Wire in an interview. According to Deadline, he mentioned in his statements about how Tony Kirtsis detains his hostages and communicates with a radio announcer.
Colman Domingo further talked about Steven Spielberg’s upcoming sci-fi project where he will star alongside Colin Firth, Emily Blunt, and Josh O’Connor. Domingo left teasers from the movie (which will reportedly go into production in March) saying that he “literally cried’ while reading the script.
Colman Domingo talks about Dead Man’s Wire and Steven Spielberg’s upcoming sci-fi film
As per Deadline, Colman Domingo teased fans about his upcoming hostage thriller Dead Man’s Wire, saying:
“This guy was just in dire straits, holding people hostage and speaking to a radio announcer. That’s the only person he felt like he could communicate with. He’d listened to him every day and I sort of guide him not to kill people.
The official synopsis of the movie reads:
“In 1977, a former real estate developer takes his mortgage banker hostage after feeling wronged by a corrupt system.”
Following his statements on Dead Man’s Wire, Domingo shared his feelings on Spielberg’s upcoming science-fiction piece which still is a mystery to the fans. He reportedly said:
“I can’t tell you anything.”
This he replied when asked about the movie’s title. He further added:
“I will tell you this. I finished reading the script and I bawled. I thought it was one of the most beautiful scripts about our humanity. I think it was just the most beautiful film about our humanity, and I literally cried because Steven Spielberg believes in the possibility of the human beings we could be. That’s what I’ll tell you.”

Sing Sing’s Colman Domingo Joins Gus Van Sant’s Dead Man’s Wire
EXCLUSIVE: Colman Domingo is joining the cast of Gus Van Sant’s hostage thriller Dead Man’s Wire after completing his scenes for Edgar Wright’s The Running Man.
The title of Wright’s film is an apt for an actor who is doing the reverse of Phillip C. McGraw’s dictum that ‘it’s a marathon, not a sprint,’ by jetting from London on Monday to a devastated Los Angeles, then on to Kentucky next weekend to join Nosferatu’s Bill Skarsgard in Dead Man’s Wire in Louisville.
Austin Kolodney’s original screenplay for Dead Man’s Wire is based on the story of Tony Kirtsis, who one frigid day in February 1977 took Indianapolis mortgage broker Dick Hall hostage in his office. He attached a steel wire, that was hooked to the barrel of a sawed-off, double barrel shotgun, around his captive’s neck. Deadline revealed news of the production and the casting of Skarsgard, along with Stranger Things star Dacre Montgomery, last month.
“This guy was just in dire straits, holding people hostage and speaking to a radio announcer,” says Domingo, who will play the broadcaster in question. He’s speaking to Deadline in the middle of an awards season that has propelled the actor’s performance in A24 flick Sing Sing towards Academy Award contention. “That’s the only person he felt like he could communicate with. He’d listened to him every day and I sort of guide him not to kill people.”
After Dead Man’s Wire, it’s onto the third season of HBO’s Euphoria, shooting eight episodes with Zendaya, Jacob Elordi and Sydney Sweeney. “Everybody’s excited to get back to work. That’s taken a lot time to put together,” says Colman.
It’s been three years of waiting, in fact. “There’s been lots of rewriting and rethinking of what it is, and then it’s about wrangling everyone’s schedules — whether it’s Jacob‘s and Sydney or my schedule and Zendaya’s schedule. Oh, everyone’s become mega stars now,” he laughs.
Colman adds, “It’s going to be incredible storytelling. I don’t know if [what I heard] made it to the final pages, but from what I was told, it’s really exceptional. It’s human.”
‘Euphoria’
HBO
Spielberg Collaboration
Euphoria’s followed by Steven Spielberg’s new, as yet untitled, new movie. “I can’t tell you anything,” he says as I’m about to open my mouth.
“I will tell you this,” he decides. “I finished reading the script and I bawled. I thought it was one of the most beautiful scripts about our humanity. I think it was just the most beautiful film about our humanity, and I literally cried because Steven Spielberg believes in the possibility of the human beings we could be. That’s what I’ll tell you.”
Of course, I push for more.
“From what’s out there in the world, it is an untitled sci-fi experience. You know Steven’s always concerned about the stars and the moon, so I think that’s what I can tell you,” he says, lacing his hands together.
“Are you an astronaut,” I speculate?
“Possibly. You never know,” he says chuckling.
Shakespeare was into the stars and the moon, as well. I tell Domingo that I was struck by the soliloquy the actor chose to recite at the top of Sing Sing, where he plays John ‘Divine G’ Whitfield, a man incarcerated at the Sing Sing Correctional Facility, in Ossining, New York, for a crime he didn’t commit. The film, directed by Greg Kwedar, who also wrote the script with Clint Bentley, follows Divine G’s participation in Rehabilitation Through the Arts, known as R.T.A.
When I rewatched the movie ahead of my meeting with Domingo, I somehow experienced it differently from when I first watched it ages ago. I realized that the text Domingo’s Divine G performed as Lysander, one of the lovers in A Midsummer Night’s Dream — “Swift as a shadow/short as any dream/Brief as the lightning in the collided night/That, in a spleen, unfolds both heaven and earth/And ‘ere a man hath power to say, ”Behold!”/And ere a man hath power to say, ’Behold!’/The jaws of darkness do devour it up… “ — is the key to the film.
“That’s exactly why I chose that monologue to start,” he agrees. “That is the key. Since our film takes so many cues from Shakespeare, I thought the first line of a character in any Shakespeare play will tell you everything you need to know about him.” Usually, their entrance line in some way, shape or form, he observes, “will tell you a lot about the crisis of faith or the questions that the character has.”
Domingo explains that in that moment we find Divine G “in the height of his artistic journey in a hope-filled place,” but that juxtaposing his splendid robes on moment with his prison greens asks the question of how he exists in the world. “He’s holding onto hope and art,” adds Domingo.

“He’s holding onto language, ideas and imagination, and the container of prison is trying to beat it out of him. It gets me emotional anytime I think about it, because I know I can sit here and talk to you clearly about it, because you know about the container of us living in the world as Black men, a world tries to constrain us. We’re saying, ‘No, I’m liberated from that, every single day. Every step of our being is in defiance of the way the world is set up for us.’”
After seeing the film, some found his performance so compelling that people would ask him, indirectly, whether he’d ever been incarcerated. ”I’m like, ‘No! I’m a Black man in the world. I know how this man feels.’ It’s not so foreign, which is why I know I put more of myself into this film than I’ve ever put into any other film.
“I needed to lift the mask off of Colman and pour him fully into this. I wasn’t allowed to do that with Rustin; I had to build a character. With The Color Purple, I had to build a character and infuse it, and find its way and its heartbeat. But with this, I had to find my heart in John ‘Divine G’ Whitfield’s heart and pull him together.”
We’re practically alone, the two of us, in the charming Bistro Bardot, a hostelry that was once a famous old pub in Wapping, East London. He’s holding back tears now as he talks about his role in the film. “It’s me with all my fears,” he continues. “What would happen if I was wrongfully accused of a crime just walking down the wrong street at the wrong time, and the system is set up to put me away, and not to believe me, not to trust my word?”

Awards Trail
Domingo’s one of the few professional actors in Sing Sing, along with Sound of Metal’s Paul Raci. The bulk of the company consists of those who had previous experience performing with R.T.A.. One is Clarence ‘Divine Eye’ Maclin, who’s a revelation in the picture. He and Domingo have been nominated for supporting and lead actor BAFTA awards — Maclin also shares an adapted screenplay nomination for the film.
Domingo says he’ll return to London for the London Film Critics Circle Awards and the BAFTAs. He has the Critics Choice and SAG Awards upcoming in LA as well.
Following a tricky introduction, ‘Divine G’, in a magnanimous act, decides to assist ‘Divine Eye’ in his R.T.A. acting endeavours and in helping him prepare for his parole board hearing. “Even though he’s challenged by him, at the end of the day, he finds it more joyful to be of service to him as a well,” says Domingo.
The irony of that is devastating because ‘Divine G’ doesn’t know how to get himself outta that place. When I watched him go up for parole, I could feel the volcano inside both the character and the actor begin to rumble. How did he hold it back, I ask?
“I said to myself to hold it back,” responds Domingo. “I know that character. I know the person who feels like I have to measure my anger or my fury or my frustration sometimes, and always choose the high road. I know that very clearly. Please, I know that even when it comes to the way people will value or not value your work. I will just do what I need to do.”
But does he get angry, I ask?
“I get frustrated like everybody else, and at some point. I can only take so much. I know the things that boil and boil over when you’re not being seen or you’re not being heard, or you are constantly being looked over or passed over. You always try to take stock, but at some point, you want to lose your whole mind. But I think that I’m a very measured person because that’s the way I am,” he says flatly.
There are great men he greatly admires. “Whether it’s Ralph Ellison or whether it’s James Baldwin or Nat King Cole, I always think that these are guys who choose grace, but they have everything in them to be a Huey P. Newton or a Malcolm X.”
You know what, though? Colman Domingo’s having the last laugh on those who ever doubted him.
He’ll be on the Gus Van Sant movie set this weekend; he’s got Euphoria, the Spielberg picture. You’re gonna make your feature directing debut on Scandalous about Sammy Davis Jr and Kim Novak, to be portrayed by Rye Lane’s David Jonsson and Anyone But You’s Sydney Sweeney, I tell him. There’s the Nat King Cole Biopic he’s setting up to star in and direct next year. In a similar key, there’s the musical he wrote with Patricia McGregor, to be directed by McGregor, Lights Out: Nat King Cole, starting performances at New York Theatre Workshop in March, starring Dulé Hill (The West Wing) and Daniel J. Watts, who played Ike Turner in Tina: The Tina Turner Musical, as Sammy Davis Jr.
There’s the Tina Fey comedy show he’s shot called The Four Seasons, based on the Alan Alda movie. There’s crime thriller The Madness, in which he stars, on Netflix. Fear the Walking Dead is on Prime Video on an endless loop, and there’s stuff so far off in the future he dare not tell me about. He was filming The Running Man at Leavesden Studios until last weekend. Edgar Wright chose him for that. And later this year, he’ll be seen portraying Joe Jackson, Michael Jackson’s father, in Antoine Fuqua’s Michael.
Domingo and Indhu Rubasingham, the National Theatre’s incoming Artistic Director have been talking, he reveals, “about leaving a window open in the fall of 2026 to do “something” there. “I haven’t been on stage in London since Scottsboro Boys twelve years ago and I think my first show will be back in London at the National Theatre,” he affirms. He wants it to be “something special and impactful” and allows to “have fun.”
Oh, and Domingo, the red carpet maestro, is a house ambassador with Valentino now. “[Creative director] Alessandra Michele has been creating custom pieces for me to wear,” he says.

Doors once closed have been flung open all over the place for Colman Domingo, I say.
He concedes that “in a funny way, you’re right. I guess I’m having a bit of a last laugh.”
Sipping a Negroni, he adds that “just by existing and being and working hard, he represents all of the people who’ve worked regional theater, off-Broadway, and taught themselves to write and direct in the face of doors slamming and opportunities denied. “I represent all of those actors and artists,” he says,” emotion building. “I did not know that this was available to me. I just didn’t know, and now it feels like I have a greater opportunity to have even more impact.”
Last month he had a conversation with his team as he considered his next move. “I thought, ‘well, I want to have even more impact’. “And I woke up and I thought, ‘Well, I think the word is mogul!’”
‘Mogul’ is a good word, I say, guffawing at the audacity of it all.
“I tell you why,” he says. “I feel like it’s about having impact with many industries. I think that if people are willing to invest in me and the Coleman Domingo brand, I have the heart and the aptitude to tell them where to go because I care about people, I care about Black and brown men, I care about education. And by being a mogul, I can actually do that.
“That’s bigger than just being an artist. It’s having an effect on economy, which is why being a producer on Sing Sing shows I can actually make it happen. I can tell financiers what to do with their money and what will make an impact.”
It’s unlikely, I suggest, that Sing Sing would’ve have been made, at least not anytime soon, had it not been for his involvement.
“It absolutely would not have been made,” he concurs. “We had to agree on a plan on how to do it, which was a very community-based way of making sure that everyone above and below the line were paid the same rate, because it made sense for this film. You’re like, ‘How can you have people with their lived experience not benefiting?’”
So, everyone got paid the same. Including you? “Including me,” he replies.
“But I had to agree to it. I remember I brought this up to my team, and they were unsure. I said, “I think this makes sense. We’re going to make this as a collective and as a collective, we should all benefit from it.’ That means we’re all taking a chance. If it fails, if it doesn’t gain anyone one cent, that’s all fine. We all did this because we want to do this. We felt this story matters. That means that person who’s cleaning the toilet gets paid the same amount of money as I do.”
They were paid a daily rate, though he can’t recall how much. “Let’s say it was $600. Everyone got that. If you worked a certain amount of days, you got more, and so basically your equity, once we sold the film will break down in that way. You have this amount of points per days you’ve worked compared to that person.” Essentially, their share of any profit would be aligned to how many days they had accrued.
Although as a producer through the Edith Productions single he runs with husband Raul Domingo, “We have one more point or something, one more daily rate. But, pretty much, it’s as democratic as I’ve ever seen.”
Making Sign Sing wasn’t about the money for him, but ensuring it exists, just as was the case for Domingo with The Color Purple and Rustin. I’m like, I could afford to actually do this film as well, to be honest, and do it in a very fair way, which is beautiful. This is what those big budget films afford you to be able to do, so you can actually support others.”
A Producers Guild Award nomination would have been “a meaningful acknowledgement that this film was made against all odds in a truly democratic way,” he says with evident disappointment. “We’re bucking the system and the trend, and fellow producers did not want to acknowledge that.”
The Return Of Trump
We’re speaking on the eve of Donald Trump’s inauguration and I ask Domingo if he’s at all concerned about the noises one has been hearing about possible interference in the screen industry from MAGA forces.

He shakes his head, and reveals that he had a “beautiful conversation” late one night at a restaurant, the name of which he won’t disclose, with some friends and colleagues, including Natasha Lyonne, Leonardo DiCaprio, Zoe Kravitz, Zachary Quinto and Jeremy O. Harris.
“Anytime I’m in New York, I bring people together. We sat and enjoyed each other’s company, and then we talked about how we are now the studios, the individuals.“
How so? “Because if we believe it can happen, and if we make it happen, it’s not about asking permission. It’s just we have to find the way, find our colleagues and financiers, and build it ourselves. Then we sell it. That’s what we’ve done with my last two films. Sing Sing we sold to A24 and It’s What’s Inside to Netflix.” Domingo explains that he and his husband developed It’s What’s Inside at Edith Productions, following that model to get it made.
“For me, it has to start with the individuals and the individual production companies. I believe that’s what me and my colleagues believe because we’re the ones willing to take the chances. Now let’s figure it out and let’s be smart. We can’t just be the creatives. We have to be connected to financiers and making sure we know how to get all things done, which is why I feel like we’re part of a generation of people are saying ‘No! I believe that we can be the studios.’”
Many of those assembled that night in New York have production companies and all of them, he says, “are all forward thinking artists who know that it’s just not enough to be the artist,“ he says banging the table to press home his point. “You’ve got to be the mover and the shaker, and you’ve got to be the numbers guy too.”
He doesn’t know what he’s going to find when he arrives back in an LA devastated by wildfires. He knows from Raul that his house in North Malibu is intact, but it “got the smoke.” He adds: ”I do know that the thing that I know I’m going back to is a community of people that really have been looking out for each other. What it’s brought out is the fact that we look after each other immediately.”
He and Raul still have their old home in Southeast LA. Selma director Ava DuVernay posted about needing somewhere for his old Selma cast mate, the actor Henry G. Sanders,his wife and his family who lost their home in Altadena. “I said, ’Let’s put them in my house,’ and Raul got it cleaned up and everything else.”
This is what “we do as a community” he reasons. “This is what we do at our best.”
I am thrilled to announce that Sing Sing’s very own Colman Domingo has officially joined the cast of Gus Van Sant’s upcoming film, Dead Man’s Wire.Domingo, known for his incredible talent and versatility as an actor, will be bringing his unique charm and charisma to this highly anticipated project. With Van Sant at the helm and Domingo on board, this film is sure to be a must-see for all movie lovers.

Robert Pattinson Joins Bong Joon Ho In Korea For ‘Mickey 17’ Event
Bong Joon Ho and Robert Pattinson kicked off the long-awaited launch of Mickey 17 with the first official press event for the movie in the Korean capital of Seoul on Monday.
Korean director Bong’s first feature since his 2019 Cannes Palme d’Or and quadruple Oscar winner Parasite, the sci-fi drama has been a long time coming, with the shoot having wrapped in December 2022.
Having been originally scheduled for a March 29, 2024 release, the film will now world premiere at the Berlinale in February, ahead of releasing theatrically in Korea on February 28, followed by March 7 in the U.S. by Warner Bros.
“It’s exciting to have the honor of premiering Mickey 17 in Korea before it hits cinemas worldwide in March,” Bong told the press conference at Seoul’s Yongsan CGV cinema.
It marked a first visit to Korea for Pattinson who was greeted by hundreds of fans as he touched down at Seoul’s Incheon Airport.
“I’m just so happy people are excited about the movie. It has been a long road to come to this release and to see people excited and with the poster already and wanting it signed. It’s exciting,” he said.
The Twilight, The Batman and Tenet star said he was puzzled as to why he had never made it to Korea before.
“I don’t understand how I’ve never come to Seoul with promotional tours with other movies. I’ve always wanted to come. I know a lot of fun people who live here, and I wanted to meet up with these guys again,” he said referring to Bong and his producing team.
Adapted from Edward Ashton’s 2022 sci-fi novel of ‘Mickey 7’, Mickey 17 revolves around a directionless man living in a near future who signs up for a job as an “expendable”, or disposable employee sent on dangerous missions who is automatically regenerated if he perishes on the job.
“The script seems deceptively simple at first,” said Pattinson. “But then when you try to break down Mickey’s mentality, this guy who has zero self-confidence but somehow doesn’t feel sorry for himself, it gets complicated really quickly. I ended up thinking of him as this poorly trained dog who needs to die 17 times to finally learn something.”
Bong said the film was more than “just” a sci-fi movie.
“It’s about humanity. The story of Mickey revolves around an ordinary powerless and vulnerable young man,” he explained.
“Unlike the original novel where Mickey is portrayed as a history teacher and the story is filled with technical explanations about science, I chose to strip away these details and focus purely on the human aspects, to present Mickey as member of the working class, a lonely figure with an extreme job.”
Recounting his experiences shooting the film, Pattinson recounted how the set had the feel of “giant Star Wars” production and revealed that he and the rest of the cast – which features Naomi Ackie, Steven Yeun, Toni Collette and Mark Ruffalo – had been intrigued by Bong’s directing style in which he got his actors to deliver one or two lines at a time.
“I think all the actors had the same experience in that we’d turn up, and then ask, ‘What’s happening? We shoot one line and then move on?’. After one week, everyone is like, ‘This is the best, we want to do every movie like this’… also you [Bong] are so open with showing the edit on set. It’s fascinating to see that you have the entire movie in your head before we have already started shooting it.”
Bong suggested their bemusement was due to the different way Korean filmmakers shoot and edit their films.

Wilfried Zaha has joined Major League Soccer club Charlotte FC on loan until January 2026, with an option to extend until June 2026.
The former Crystal Palace forward is currently on loan with Lyon having joined from Galatasaray last summer.
He has made just six appearances for the French side this season, five of them as a substitute.
Zaha, 32, will fill a Designated Player spot at Charlotte – a rule which allows an MLS franchise to sign up to three players that would be considered outside a club’s salary cap.
Zoran Krneta, general manager of the North Carolina-based franchise, described Zaha as a “world class talent” and an “elite goalscorer”.
He added: “Wilfried’s performances in the Premier League and on the international level speak for themselves and we are confident he can make an immediate impact in Major League Soccer.”
Zaha made 458 appearances for Palace, the third-most in the club’s history, and scored 90 goals.
He joined Manchester United in 2013 but returned to Selhurst Park a year later, initially on loan.
The Ivory Coast international moved to Galatasaray on a three-year deal after his contract with the Eagles expired in the summer of 2023.
In his one season with the Turkish side, Zaha scored 10 goals and claimed five assists in 42 games as Galatasaray were crowned Super Lig champions.
Charlotte FC has made a major signing this transfer window, as they have secured the services of Wilfried Zaha on loan from Crystal Palace. The Ivorian winger has been a standout player in the Premier League for years, known for his pace, skill, and goal-scoring ability.Zaha will bring a wealth of experience to Charlotte FC, as well as a winning mentality that can help elevate the team to new heights. His presence on the pitch will undoubtedly make a huge impact on the team’s attacking play, providing a new dimension to their game.
Fans of Charlotte FC are thrilled at the prospect of seeing Zaha in action, and are hopeful that his arrival will help propel the team to success in their inaugural season in Major League Soccer. With Zaha in their ranks, Charlotte FC will surely be a force to be reckoned with in the league.
Stay tuned for more updates on Wilfried Zaha’s loan spell at Charlotte FC and how he will make an impact on the team’s performance. Exciting times lie ahead for the club and its supporters! #ZahaToCharlotteFC #MLS #TransferNews

YouTube star MrBeast joins bid to buy TikTok in US | TikTok
MrBeast, the YouTube star and highest-earning creator on the internet, has officially joined a bid to buy TikTok’s US operations.
The 26-year-old has teamed up with the tech entrepreneur Jesse Tinsley, the founder of the online HR company employer.com, to make an all-cash offer for the social video app’s American unit. The approach was announced as Donald Trump said he was open to the US tech billionaires Elon Musk and Larry Ellison buying TikTok in the US.
MrBeast – whose real name is Jimmy Donaldson – has floated his interest in acquiring TikTok in a number of social media posts, writing on X on 13 January: “I’ll buy TikTok so it doesn’t get banned.” In a subsequent TikTok post Donaldson said he had been talking to a “bunch of billionaires” about a bid.
The US law firm Paul Hastings announced the Donaldson bid in a statement on Tuesday. It said Tinsley was leading an investor group comprising “institutional investors and high-net worth individuals” but Donaldson was the only publicly named member of the group.
The statement did not reveal the size of the all-cash bid, although Trump put a value of $1tn (£811bn) on the app on Tuesday. According to Forbes, MrBeast, who has 346 million followers on YouTube, was the world’s most successful internet creator last year, earning $85m.
Paul Hastings added that the lawyer leading its team advising on the bid was Brad Bondi, the brother of Pam Bondi, Trump’s choice to be US attorney general.
The US president also floated a deal with Musk, the world’s richest person, or Ellison, the multibillionaire founder of Oracle and world’s fourth richest person. At a press conference on Tuesday, Trump said he was open to Musk making a bid, adding: “I would be, if he wanted to buy it. I’d like Larry [Ellison] to buy it too.”
Ellison, who was present at the press conference, said it sounded like a “good deal”. Trump said TikTok was worth $1tn with a “permit” to operate in the US, under 50% US ownership.
TikTok’s future in the US remains uncertain despite the app coming back online on Sunday after its Beijing based-owner, ByteDance, briefly shut down the service. TikTok was forced to act before a 19 January deadline for its Chinese parent to sell the app’s US unit or face a de facto ban.
However, it reinstated the app after receiving “assurance” from Trump, who then issued an executive order on Monday suspending enforcement of a law requiring TikTok’s sale. The law forbade companies such as Apple, Google or Oracle from distributing or maintaining the app – effectively stopping it from operating – if ByteDance had not completed a sale by 19 January.
Some Republican lawmakers have already questioned the legality of suspending the law, saying companies affected by the legislation must adhere to it and anyone who violates it faces “ruinous bankruptcy”. Reuters has reported that Apple and Google had not reinstated the app on their app stores by Tuesday.
TikTok, Google and Apple have been approached for comment.
YouTube star MrBeast has joined the bid to buy TikTok in the US, adding even more star power to the potential acquisition. The popular creator, known for his charitable acts and entertaining videos, has expressed interest in being a part of the group that is looking to purchase the popular social media platform.With over 50 million subscribers on YouTube, MrBeast has a massive following and is known for his philanthropic efforts, such as planting millions of trees and donating thousands of dollars to individuals in need. His involvement in the bid to buy TikTok is sure to generate even more excitement and support for the potential acquisition.
TikTok has been facing challenges in the US due to concerns about data privacy and national security. The bid to buy the platform is seen as a way to address these issues and ensure that TikTok can continue to operate in the US while safeguarding user data.
MrBeast’s involvement in the bid is a testament to the potential that TikTok holds and the value that it brings to the social media landscape. With his star power and influence, MrBeast could play a key role in shaping the future of TikTok in the US. Stay tuned for more updates on this developing story.

Robert Pattinson Takes Korea By Storm As He Joins Bong Joon Ho In Seoul For First ‘Mickey 17’ Press Event
Bong Joon Ho and Robert Pattinson kicked off the long-awaited launch of Mickey 17 with the first official press event for the movie in the Korean capital of Seoul on Monday.
Korean director Bong’s first feature since his 2019 Cannes Palme d’Or and quadruple Oscar winner Parasite, the sci-fi drama has been a long time coming, with the shoot having wrapped in December 2022.
More from Deadline
Having been originally scheduled for a March 29, 2024 release, the film will now world premiere at the Berlinale in February, ahead of releasing theatrically in Korea on February 28, followed by March 7 in the U.S. by Warner Bros.
“It’s exciting to have the honor of premiering Mickey 17 in Korea before it hits cinemas worldwide in March,” Bong told the press conference at Seoul’s Yongsan CGV cinema.
It marked a first visit to Korea for Pattinson who was greeted by hundreds of fans as he touched down at Seoul’s Incheon Airport.
“I’m just so happy people are excited about the movie. It has been a long road to come to this release and to see people excited and with the poster already and wanting it signed. It’s exciting,” he said.
The Twilight, The Batman and Tenet star said he was puzzled as to why he had never made it to Korea before.
“I don’t understand how I’ve never come to Seoul with promotional tours with other movies. I’ve always wanted to come. I know a lot of fun people who live here, and I wanted to meet up with these guys again,” he said referring to Bong and his producing team.
Adapted from Edward Ashton’s 2022 sci-fi novel of ‘Mickey 7’, Mickey 17 revolves around a directionless man living in a near future who signs up for a job as an “expendable”, or disposable employee sent on dangerous missions who is automatically regenerated if he perishes on the job.
“The script seems deceptively simple at first,” said Pattinson. “But then when you try to break down Mickey’s mentality, this guy who has zero self-confidence but somehow doesn’t feel sorry for himself, it gets complicated really quickly. I ended up thinking of him as this poorly trained dog who needs to die 17 times to finally learn something.”
Bong said the film was more than “just” a sci-fi movie.
“It’s about humanity. The story of Mickey revolves around an ordinary powerless and vulnerable young man,” he explained.
“Unlike the original novel where Mickey is portrayed as a history teacher and the story is filled with technical explanations about science, I chose to strip away these details and focus purely on the human aspects, to present Mickey as member of the working class, a lonely figure with an extreme job.”
Recounting his experiences shooting the film, Pattinson recounted how the set had the feel of “giant Star Wars” production and revealed that he and the rest of the cast – which features Naomi Ackie, Steven Yeun, Toni Collette and Mark Ruffalo – had been intrigued by Bong’s directing style in which he got his actors to deliver one or two lines at a time.
“I think all the actors had the same experience in that we’d turn up, and then ask, ‘What’s happening? We shoot one line and then move on?’. After one week, everyone is like, ‘This is the best, we want to do every movie like this’… also you [Bong] are so open with showing the edit on set. It’s fascinating to see that you have the entire movie in your head before we have already started shooting it.”
Bong suggested their bemusement was due to the different way Korean filmmakers shoot and edit their films.
“In Korea, we typically edit directly on set which is not very common in the U.S. so foreign actors often find it fascinating to see editing done in real-time,” he said.
