BAM Going All Out To Keep Pearly-Thinaah.

Jun 13, 2025

The Badminton Association of Malaysia has vowed to do everything it can to retain the services of Pearly Tan-M. Thinaah.  

Its president Tengku Datuk Seri Zafrul Abdul Aziz says one of BAM's top priorities is to retain all their players, including the women's doubles World no. 3.  

Pearly and Thinaah's contract with BAM expired in December, and have yet to sign a new deal.  

Meanwhile reports claim that the duo have received lucrative offers to leave the national set up and turn professional.

Former Arsenal and Barcelona star Giovanni van Bronckhorst has been tipped with a move to Liverpool.  

It's believed the Dutchman is close to joining boss Arne Slot's backroom staff, following the departure of Johnny Heitinga.  

Van Bronckhorst has been out of work since he was sacked by Turkish club Besiktas in November.  

Before then, he was in charge of Rangers – taking them to the Europa League final in 2022.

Separately, Napoli have reportedly become the latest club to be keen on signing Liverpool attacker Darwin Nunez.  

The Uruguay international is out of favour at Anfield and was recently linked with the Saudi Pro League.
