Premier League Clubs Alerted over Paulo Dybala Availability

April 29, 2023 No Comments

AS Roma attacker Paulo Dybala has been reportedly offered to several Premier League sides this summer as a bargain release clause in his contract at Stadio Olimpico becomes active. Dybala joined Roma on a free transfer from Juventus last summer and has enjoyed a successful year under Jose Mourinho. He has scored 16 goals and eight assists in 34 appearances, helping take Roma to the Europa League semi-finals. That form has alerted the top European clubs who will want to sign a player of Dybala’s quality. According to new reports, the Argentine’s contract at Stadio Olimpico contains a handful of release clauses, making signing him easy, especially for clubs outside of Italy.

According to the same report, the Argentine’s representatives have been making sure clubs in the Premier League know the clause in his contract. As per the report, Arsenal, Aston Villa, Newcastle United, Chelsea, Manchester United and Tottenham Hotspur have all been informed about Dybala’s potential availability. Although none of the Premier League sides have dismissed the offer, there are long-standing concerns that the player is not interested in moving to the Premier League. So any efforts to sign him would ultimately prove futile even if a club activates his release clause. Meanwhile, Roma boss Mourinho recently stated that Dybala is good enough to play for ‘the biggest teams in the world’. However, he urged the Argentine to put his happiness first. “My feeling is that he was seeking joy. He had lost more than confidence,” Mourinho told Sky Sport Italia. “He found it here. He has found a coach who understands him, a crowd that loves him and a space on the field in which to be a leader with his quality and personality. “Dybala is a nice boy. He has the quality to play for the biggest clubs in the world, but he has found joy here.”

Real Madrid will look to make their biggest move yet in their race to sign Borussia Dortmund midfielder Jude Bellingham. The Spanish giants are one of the many clubs vying for the signature of the Englishman. They want to ensure they win the race and have sent executives to Germany to convince Bellingham to choose them over Manchester City in the summer. The two European giants are ahead in the race for the 19-year-old who has been slapped with a massive €150 million price tag by Borussia Dortmund. Read more: Erling Haaland makes Premier League history According to the Spanish publication Marca, Los Blancos has been working on his transfer for the past ten months. To tilt the odds in their favour, they would take a step further and travel to Germany to convince Bellingham to join them in the summer. Carlo Ancelotti’s side implemented the same strategy to sign Aurelien Tchouameni from Monaco when the Frenchman was chased by Premier League giants Chelsea and Liverpool. But, despite the odds, Madrid won the favour of the Frenchman by travelling to the Principality Stadium and presenting their sporting project. As a result, the 23-year-old was convinced and turned down heavier pay packets in favour of signing for Real Madrid jersey. As per the report, Madrid have direct contact with Bellingham’s entourage, and they even held discussions with the player’s father last month. Despite their charm offensive, it is reported that the Santiago Bernabeu side does not want to meet the €150 million price tag from Dortmund and are willing to offer Brahim Diaz on loan at AC Milan as part of a potential transfer in a bid to reduce the asking price.

Son Admits Tottenham Anger after Newcastle Drubbing

April 28, 2023 No Comments

Tottenham Hotspur attacker Son Heung-min admitted his side’s comeback against Manchester United on Thursday night was fuelled by “anger” from going 2-0 down a few days after being beaten 6-1 by Newcastle United. Cristian Stellini’s four-game stint as interim boss ended last weekend after the North London side fell 5-0 at St James’ Park in just 21 minutes. Ryan Mason has been asked to take charge of the team until the end of the season to turn things around, and he began with a credible 2-2 draw with Manchester United. However, things didn’t start off positively, as Spurs went down 2-0 in the first half against the Red Devils, thanks to goals from Jadon Sancho and Marcus Rashford. However, the hosts improved greatly in the second half and eventually claimed a 2-2 draw after strikes from Pedro Porro and Son.

We were really angry about it. We didn’t deserve to be 2-0 down at half-time. “The last week was unacceptable; we didn’t want to repeat that. We feel really, really sorry for the performance and result, and today we wanted to bring good energy. “We really appreciated [the fans’] support, and they were fighting with us.” Spurs remain mathematically in the top four race but can only secure the top four if the teams above them drop points. They will return in action this weekend when they travel to Anfield to take on Liverpool.

Jurgen Klopp Dismisses Liverpool Top-Four Chances after Win over West Ham

April 27, 2023 No Comments

Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp has ruled out his side’s chances of breaking into the Premier League top four following their 2-1 win over West Ham on Wednesday. The Reds made it three league wins in a row in London on Wednesday, returning from an early 1-0 deficit to win 2-1 thanks to pals from Coady Gakpo and Joel Matip. The result took them six points behind the top four teams, although Manchester United and Newcastle both have games in hand. As such, Klopp is reluctant to put his team in the mix just yet. After the game, Klopp told reporters: “I can’t see the race yet; I can’t. That’s because we are not in the position for a race. So the only thing we can do is keep winning football games. If that puts pressure on other teams, that’s not in our hands because we don’t play them. “We play Tottenham – that’s it from that area, I think, of teams above us. If they win all their games, that’s it for us. But I don’t think about that. “I want us to finish the season as good as somehow possible. I want to take something out of the season for next year. If that is European competition, great. If not, we have to accept it as well and go from there. That’s what I want now.” Read more: Liverpool interested in Manchester City Outcast The Liverpool manager added that he is looking for his side to show their real face from their six remaining fixtures. “I want us, at least for a few weeks, [to] show our real face – and not the nice one, the ugly one, the nice one, the ugly one. It’s really tough to do that. So now we did it for kind of three games – three-and-a-half, the second half against Arsenal was brilliant as well – all in a different way.” “Tonight, the first half I liked the most for a long, long time, like the way we controlled the game,” he continued. “We played here plenty of times; it’s always tough. Result-wise, it looked better from time to time, but the goals we scored were then counter-attacks, stuff like that, quick reacting, all these kinds of things. We controlled the game in a way we never did before against West Ham, and I really liked that.” Liverpool return to Premier League action on Sunday when they host Tottenham, with Klopp’s side having already climbed above Spurs on goal difference.

Liverpool are reportedly looking to make a shock move for Manchester City star Kalvin Phillips this summer. Jurgen Klopp’s side are planning a summer rebuild and are keen to add at least three midfielders to their ageing midfield. Jude Bellingham was their primary target for the season, but the Borussia Dortmund sensation is considered too pricey. So the Reds are looking for cheaper alternatives and have identified Phillips as one. The midfielder joined Manchester City last summer but has yet to enjoy his time at the Etihad.

City signed the former Leeds United favourite for £45m (including add-ons) last summer and might be willing to sell him slightly for less that amount. Apart from Phillips, Liverpool have also been linked with Mason Mount, Conor Gallagher, Alexis Mac Allister, Moises Caicedo, Ryan Gravenberch and Nicolo Barella, to name just six.

Tottenham Hotspur have sacked acting head coach Cristian Stellini following their embarrassing loss to Newcastle United on Sunday. The North London side were humiliated as they were beaten 6-1 at Newcastle on Sunday. Stellini described the performance as the worst he has ever seen, but he has now paid for the display with his job. Spurs released a statement on Monday night to confirm the decision, with club chairman Daniel Levy wishing the Italian well in his future endeavours. “Cristian will leave his current role along with his coaching staff,” the statement said. “Cristian stepped in at a difficult point in our season, and I want to thank him for the professional manner in which he and his coaching staff have conducted themselves during such a challenging time. We wish him and his staff well.” Read more: Mateo Kovacic’s agents set for transfer talks Premier League clubs Ryan Mason, a coach under Stellini, will take over first-team management.

Ryan knows the club and the players well. We shall update further on his coaching staff in due course,” Levy’s statement continued. “I met with the player committee today – the squad is determined to pull together to ensure the strongest possible finish to the season. “We are all clear we need to deliver performances which earn your amazing support.” Stellini is the second coach Spurs is sacking this season following the dismissal of Antonio Conte late last month.

April 25, 2023 No Comments

Manchester United and Chelsea are reportedly the clubs leading the race to sign Paris Saint-Germain forward Neymar. The PSG attacker has endured another frustrating season that has seen him miss many of his club’s games because of injury. The Brazilian is out for the season with an ankle injury he picked up in PSG’s 4-3 win over Lille in February. This has led to reports that PSG want to sell him and take his huge weekly salary out of his wage bill. Read more: AC Milan interested in Man City’s Kyle Walker The Parisian club are looking to rebuild their squad and are now prioritising younger players and French stars instead of big names. They want to build their team around Kylian Mbappe and could allow Neymar to leave this summer if the right offer comes. So according to reports by Foot Mercato, Man United want to take advantage of this and bring the Brazilian to Old Trafford. However, that can only happen if they can finalise a sale of the club. The Red Devils are in the midst of a takeover and will be able to sign quality players once the new owners take over. According to the report, several big names will be signed in the event of a successful sale, with Neymar on the list of wanted star players. Meanwhile, the Red Devils are not alone in the pursuit of Neymar. Fellow Premier League side Chelsea are also interested in the Brazilian. The Blues unsuccessfully tried to sign the 31-year-old last summer but will be back on the negotiation table this summer.

Girona vs Real Madrid: Preview and Expert Football Prediction

April 25, 2023 No Comments

Real Madrid will travel to Estadio Municipal de Montilivi on Tuesday to face Girona in the 31st Round of the 2022/23 La Liga season. Girona saw their four-game unbeaten run in La Liga (W2, D2) ended on Saturday when they were beaten 1-0 by Valladolid. The result was a huge blow to their chances of qualifying for European football for the first time in their history. So a more realistic target for this season will be eclipsing their best ever top-flight finish of tenth in 2017/18, with their next assignment a Real Madrid side against whom they’ve fared well recently (W1, D1, L1). Read more: Leeds United vs Leicester City: Preview and Expert Football Prediction Although they lost the last two home head-to-head despite scoring on both occasions, draws away to Barcelona (0-0) and Real Madrid (1-1) this season suggest they could influence the title race. They will fancy their chances of causing another upset here, given that they have lost only one of their last five home La Liga fixtures (W4). Meanwhile, Real Madrid kept their unlikely La Liga race alive by beating Celta Vigo 2-0 on Saturday. The win was their fourth consecutive game to have finished in their favour with that scoreline. But they remain eleven points behind table toppers Barcelona. But they will hope to keep winning, hoping for a slip-up from the Catalan side with seven games still to play. Meanwhile, mixed away form since November has been a key factor in Los Blancos falling so far behind Barcelona (W4, D1, L4), a far cry from when they began their league campaign with six consecutive victories on the road. But recent campaigns suggest they should finish strongly, as when including only their final four away trips of a La Liga season, Madrid have lost just one of their last 12 fixtures away from the Bernabéu (W8, D3). Meanwhile, Girona’s home La Liga games have produced the second-highest average of total goals per game (3.07) in the division. So we can expect an over 2.5 goals game here.
