Eden Hazard’s only transfer offer revealed as details of ex-Chelsea star’s generous Real Madrid gesture emerge

by www.thesun.co.uk Leave a Comment

EDEN HAZARD has limited options after having his contract terminated by Real Madrid, according to reports in Spain.

Hazard eclipsed Gareth Bale as Los Blancos’ record signing when he signed from Chelsea for an initial £88.3million in 2019.

His stay in Madrid was miserable however, with injury and form struggles meaning he was never able to justify his lofty price tag.

The forward made just 76 appearances for Madrid, scoring seven and assisting 12 times.

The forward did not complete a 90 minute game this season and appeared just six times in the league.

And according to Marca , the Belgian only has one club interested in his services – the Vancouver Whitecaps in the MLS .

The outlet reports that he is weighing up the move against retiring from the game at the age of 32.

They also revealed details of his exit from Madri d which was confirmed last week .

Hazard’s contract was due to run out next summer but an agreement was reached between all parties to let the Belgian become a free agent.

Hazard offered to leave without a compensation package for the final year of his deal but Madrid paid a third of his remaining £20m-a-year deal.

The Belgian would join a Vancouver team halfway through the MLS season if he were to leave this summer.

The Canadian side are currently sitting in the MLS final series places with the club in sixth.

Hazard would become the most high-profile player to ply his trade for Vancouver since local boy Alphonso Davies left in 2018.

According to reports in Canada , the Whitecaps are struggling to attract fans and have the fourth worst attendance in the MLS.

As per the National Housing Bank (NHB) data released on Thursday, 43 cities out of 50 have registered an increase in property prices during fourth quarter of 2022-23.

While majority of the cities have registered an increase, seven cities have registered a decline in the property prices. The home loan rates are still lower than that of pre-Covid period leading to a healthy affordability overall, it said.

Ahmedabad with 10.8 per cent, Bengaluru (9.4 per cent), Chennai (6.8 per cent), Delhi (1.7 per cent), Hyderabad (7.9 per cent), Kolkata (11 per cent), Mumbai (3.1 per cent) and Pune (8.2 per cent) recorded an increase in the index on an annual basis as per the Housing Price Index (HPI) published by NHB.

The 50 city HPI based on valuation of properties collected from banks and housing finance companies (HPI @ Assessment Prices) recorded an annual increase of 5.8 per cent during the fourth quarter of FY23 as compared with 5.3 per cent a year ago, it said.

The annual change in HPI @ Assessment Price varied widely across the cities, ranging from an increase of 19.6 per cent (Gandhinagar) to a decline of 12.9 per cent (Ludhiana).

On a sequential (Q-o-Q) basis, it said, the 50-city index registered an expansion of 1.3 per cent in January-March 2023 as against 1.5 per cent in the previous quarter. The index is showing an increasing trend on Q-o-Q basis since June 2021.

On the supply side, it said, the 50 city HPI based on the quoted prices for under construction and ready to move unsold properties (HPI@ Market Price for Under Construction Properties), also recorded an annual increase of 11.7 per cent in March quarter as against 4.8 per cent a year ago.

The quoted prices witnessed an increase driven by the partial pass-on of the increased input cost coupled with increased demand in ready-to-move-in properties, more so in the affordable segment, it said.

Yara Fertiliser expects to treble biz in three years

by economictimes.indiatimes.com Leave a Comment

Synopsis

Yara India, the fertiliser maker focusing on non-subsidised crop nutrition products, intends to expand its business three-fold over the next three years, according to Sanjiv Kanwar, managing director of Yara Fertilisers India. The subsidiary of Norway’s Yara will launch a range of premium micro-nutrient products and expand its manufacturing capacity for these in India.

Riding high on non-subsidised crop nutrition products, fertiliser maker Yara India which clocks a revenue of Rs 800 crore wants to grow its business three times in the next three years. The India unit of the Norwegian company plans to launch a slew of new products in the premium micro nutrients category to step up its presence in the country.

“There is a strong need in India for high-quality micronutrients ,” said Sanjiv Kanwar, managing director, Yara Fertilisers India adding that it intends to “treble” its business in the next three years.

The company will also look at expanding its manufacturing capacity for micro nutrients in the coming years, Kanwar said adding that it is working on growing the non-urea side of business to build scale in the market which will support a larger manufacturing base.

The Indian subsidiary of the Norwegian crop nutrition company has a 1.2-million-tonne urea plant at Babrala in Uttar Pradesh, which it acquired from Tata Chemicals in 2018 bringing in one of the highest foreign direct investments in the sector.

While 80-85% of its sales still comes from urea, Yara sells 100,000 tonnes of premium crop nutrition products and micro nutrients. Of the Rs 6,600 crore sales, urea contributes around Rs 5,700 crore and the rest comes from other premium products.

Yara has around 35% market share in the premium crop nutrition market.

The company which entered the Indian market in 1991, has a portfolio of 15 products ranging from several non-subsidised varieties of Nitrogen Phosphorous and Potassium (NPK), calcium nitrate, and other zinc-based products.

It plans to launch new zinc coating-based product for rice and liquid phosphate for improving the colour and keeping quality of apples.

Market corrects on profit-taking activities

by bizhub.vn Leave a Comment

Clients at a transaction office of BIDV. The bank’s shares tumbled nearly 1.5 per cent on Thursday, leading the down trend. — Photo vietnamplus.vn

Shares retreated from the morning trade on Thursday, weighed by strong selling activities after the VN-Index surpassed the key psychological level of 1,100 points.

The market benchmark VN-Index on the Ho Chi Minh Stock Exchange (HoSE) ended the recent rallies to trade lower at 1,101.32 points, down 8.22 points, or 0.74 per cent.

It had gained more than 34 points in the last five days.

The breadth of the market switched to the negative zone, with 216 stocks slumping, while 127 ticker symbols finished higher.

Liquidity, however, soared to the highest in the last six months. Particularly, the trading value on the southern bourse was nearly VND23.7 trillion (US$1 billion), equivalent to a trading volume of more than 1.3 billion shares.

Many stocks in the VN30 basket, which tracks the 30 biggest ticker symbols in market capitalisation and liquidity on HoSE, also performed poorly.

The VN30-Index fell 13.22 points, or 1.2 per cent, to close the day at 1,092.46 points. Up to 23 stocks in the VN30 basket dipped, six traded up and one stayed flat.

Recent good performance of the market triggered stronger profit-taking sentiment, dragging shares across all sectors down.

Data compiled by financial website vietstock.vn showed that banking stocks continued to dominate the market’s general trend. BIDV (BID) posted the biggest loss in market cap on Thursday, leading the downtrend with a fall of 1.47 per cent.

It was followed by Techcombank (TCB), VPBank (VPB), Sacombank (STB), Vietnam International Commercial Joint Stock Bank (VIB), MBBank (MBB), and Asia Commercial Joint Stock Bank (ACB). The stocks declined at least 1.14 per cent.

Securities companies also witnessed negative performance today, with SSI Securities Corporation (SSI) down 5.97 per cent, VNDirect Securities Corporation (VND) down 5.97 per cent, Sai Gon – Ha Noi Securities JSC (SHS) lost 3.15 per cent, and Ho Chi Minh City Securities Corporation (HCM) plunged 3.51 per cent.

Also weighing on the market’s bearish sentiment, stocks of appealing sectors, like manufacturing and real estate, faced a strong sell-off. Popular names such as Novaland (NVL), DIC Group (DIG), Kinh Bac City Development Holding Corporation (KBC), Vinamilk (VNM), Duc Giang Chemicals (DGC), Hoa Sen Group (HSG), and Vietnam Rubber Group (GVR), all posted big falls of more than 1 per cent.

On the Ha Noi Stock Exchange (HNX), the HNX-Index ended its long rising streak of 11 sessions on Thursday. It traded at 226.78 points, a decrease of 3.55 points, or 1.54 per cent.

Amid the correction seen on both main exchanges, foreign capital continued to run away from the market. Accordingly, foreign investors net sold more than VND316 billion on HoSE, but net bought a value of VND46.74 billion on HNX. — VNS
