Amir Murillo extends Marseille contract
Olympique de Marseille have officially confirmed that Michael Amir Murillo has extended his contract at the club until 2028. The news had been expected after reports emerged earlier in the week. Murillo's contract was previously set to finish in the south of France in 2026.
The right-back who joined Marseille during the 2023 summer transfer window from Belgian side RSC Anderlecht has flourished under the management of Roberto De Zerbi. He has become a key player in the squad and one of the most dependable names on the teamsheet.
However, last weekend he suffered a blow to his season after he picked up a hamstring strain during the 2-0 victory over FC Nantes. The injury could see him on the sidelines for several weeks, with it expected that he will not be fit for the clash with RC Lens on Saturday evening.
The weekend after Marseille play Lens they will come up against their arch-rivals Paris Saint-Germain in the final Le Classique of the season. Marseille lost the home encounter 3-0 back in October.

Former PGA Tour Pro Joins Sub-60 Club on Korn Ferry Tour
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. Breaking 60 in professional golf is one of the rarest feats in the sport. On the Korn Ferry Tour, where scoring is already low, it's even more elusive. Before this week, only 13 players had ever done it! The last one to add his name to the list was Cristobal Del Solar back in 2024 during the Astara Golf Championship. He was followed by Aldrich Potgieter, who shot a 59 the very next day at the same event. Now, two years later, the list has grown again! This time, all credit goes to former PGA Tour pro Adrien Dumont de Chassart.

(Photo by) More Getty Images On Thursday, the 25-year-old Belgian carded an 11-under-par 59 in the opening round of the Kansas Wichita Open. His stunning round of 12 birdies and a single bogey, eventually marked as the 14th sub-60 score in Korn Ferry Tour history. "Played really well down the stretch," Dumont de Chassart said afterward. "I missed a short putt on 7, but that's what makes golf great—you feel nerves even on a four-footer. I was happy to bounce back strong on 8 with that 6-iron shot," he added. WHAT A DAY 💥@adrienddc's round today @WichitaOpen earned him a spot amongst the 13 others with a sub 60 round in Korn Ferry Tour history. — Korn Ferry Tour (@KornFerryTour) June 19, 2025 Starting on the back nine, Chassart birdied his first three holes, added another at 14, dropped a shot at 15, then bounced back with birdies at 16 and 17 to make the turn at 5-under. He caught fire on the front nine, reeling off five straight birdies from holes 1 through 5. After missing a short putt on 7, he stuck a 6-iron tight on the par-3 8th to set up his final birdie. "That's what's cool about golf, you feel nervous even on 4-footers, right?," he said. "So I'm glad I bounced back and hit a really, really good 6-iron on 17, hole 8, to set up an easy birdie." The round gave him a four-shot lead over five players and a shot at redemption. Last year, Dumont de Chassart lost in a three-man playoff at this same event. A former University of Illinois standout, he earned his PGA Tour card in 2023 but lost it after making just 12 cuts in 27 starts. Now back on the Korn Ferry Tour, he entered the week ranked 33rd in points and is eyeing a return to the big stage. More Golf: Jordan Spieth WD at Travelers a Blessing in Disguise for Wife, Annie

Adrien Rabiot and mother Véronique file fresh legal claim against PSG over insults and banners
Adrien Rabiot (29) and his mother and long-time advisor Véronique have filed legal action against Paris Saint-Germain following their return to the Parc des Princes with Marseille on 16th March. According to Le Parisien, the pair are suing PSG for their alleged failure to manage abusive banners and insults from supporters during the Classique clash. The case has been brought before the Paris judicial court, with both Rabiot and his mother demanding €15,000 in damages. However, their primary goal is not financial – they want the court to acknowledge what they perceive as a serious failure in PSG's handling of fan conduct, particularly regarding the club's responsibility to ensure security and appropriate behaviour in the stands. Advertisement During Rabiot's first at the Parc as an opposition player since leaving PSG in 2019 – numerous derogatory chants and banners targeting the France international and his mother were visible in the Auteuil end. Although the LFP handed PSG a €20,000 fine and a one-match partial stand closure in early April, the Rabiots argue these sanctions are insufficient. Represented by lawyer Me Romuald Palao, they accuse PSG of failing in its duty to police the stands, which resulted in personal harm. A first hearing is set for November 4th, although it may be postponed depending on how PSG respond. This comes just days after Rabiot won a separate legal battle against PSG regarding the nature of his former contracts. The Paris industrial tribunal reclassified his professional player contracts as permanent (CDI), ordering PSG to pay €1.3 million in compensation. GFFN | George Boxall
