But now Busquets has indicated his time at Barca is up after making over 700 appearances. Shortly after the announcement, Messi took to Instagram to congratulate Busquets, hailing him “as a perfect 10.” “On the pitch, always a five but in reality, as a player and as a person, you are a 10, Busi,” Messi said. “I wish you the best in your new stage and always, both you and your family. Thank you for on and off the pitch. There were so many moments we spent together, many good and some also complicated…They will stay forever! Big hug, @5sergiob.” Meanwhile, Busquets might reunite with Messi in the next stage of his career. According to El Chiringuito, the Spaniard will agree to a two-year contract in the Middle East. Meanwhile, AFP have reported that Lionel Messi has already agreed to join Saudi Pro League side Al Hilal after his contract ends with PSG in the summer.

Gareth Bale’s agent SHOOTS DOWN Wrexham Rumours

May 11, 2023 No Comments

The agent of former Real Madrid and Tottenham attacker Gareth Bale has dismissed the report that his client might make a shock return from retirement and sign for Wrexham. Rumours have been spreading in recent weeks of Bale making a sensational return to professional football with Welsh minnows Wrexham. The League Two side’s fans had been hopeful that the move would happen after the five-time Champions League winner exchanged pleasantries with Wrexham’s co-owner Rob McElhenney on social media last month. Rob McElhenney and Bale discussed playing a potential round of golf together before the former suggested that he would try and persuade the Welshman to sign for his club, which just gained promotion to the third tier of English football.

When asked by Sky Sports (via Sportsmail) whether the rumours had been serious, Jonathan Barnett, who represents Bale, replied: “I don’t think so. He’s flattered by the offers, but they’ve all been tongue-in-cheek. “He’s having a great life at the moment, and it’s well deserved. He’s been the best British footballer, probably ever.” When quizzed about the exchange between Bale and Wrexham’s owners, Barnett replied: “They haven’t actually spoken to me; they may have spoken to Gareth. But Gareth doesn’t want to play football anymore. “He’s had a great career, he enjoyed himself, but he’s living a great life now. He’s with his family, which is the most important thing. “He’s spending a lot of time with his children, and that’s what he wants to do. He’ll obviously do other things later down the line.” Bale announced his retirement from football at the start of the calendar year, despite having only signed for Major League Soccer side LAFC a few months prior.

May 10, 2023 No Comments

Tottenham Hotspur are one of several Premier League clubs reportedly interested in signing Liverpool goalkeeper Caoimhín Kelleher. Despite being a number two for most of his career, the Reds shot-stopper is one of the most highly-rated goalies in the Premier League. Kelleher has only made 20 appearances in all competitions, including only four in the Premier League, in his five years at Anfield. But he is seen as a Premier League standard keeper after producing world-class performances in his few appearances for Liverpool.

The Reds have placed a £ 20 million asking price on Kelleher and believe they can find a club that will pay that sum. So far, Tottenham Hotspur have emerged as the frontrunners for his signature. The North London club are looking to replace veteran goalkeeper Hugo Lloris, 36, who has made several mistakes this season. They want Kelleher to replace him as number one, with Fraser Forster retained as a backup. However, according to the Irish Independent via Sportsmail, Spurs are not alone in their interest, as Brighton and Brentford will battle them for the Irishman’s signature. Kelleher wants regular first-team football to increase his chances of playing internationally.

Chelsea discuss swap deals with Atletico Madrid for Joao Felix

May 10, 2023 No Comments

Chelsea are reportedly considering a swap deal involving out-of-favour striker Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang, defender Marc Cucurella, and on-loan Atletico Madrid attacker Joao Felix. The Blues signed Felix on loan from the Spanish club in January and have seen enough of him that they want to sign him permanently. However, their financial struggles mean that singing the 23-year-old might be impossible. They are reportedly looking at a second loan agreement, at around £16 million ($20m), with Chelsea reluctant to meet Atletico’s £100m ($126m) asking price in any permanent arrangement. However, they are still hoping to find a way to reduce that figure.

Nothing has been agreed for now, but talks between the Premier League and La Liga heavyweights continue as we approach the summer transfer window. Felix has made 17 appearances for Chelsea since coming in January. He has registered three goals and seems to have established an understanding with Enzo Fernandez. The 23-year-old is said to be open to the idea of remaining in west London as he clearly does not figure in the long-term plans of Simeone at Atletico Madrid.

Lionel Messi AGREES to Join Saudi Arabia club

May 9, 2023 No Comments

Paris Saint-Germain superstar Lionel Messi has reportedly agreed to sign for Saudi Pro League side Al-Hilal. The Argentina superstar’s future has been in the news for months, as his contract at Parc des Princes will end this June. The French club had offered him a contract extension, but Messi rejected it as he has grown tired of life there. His former side Barcelona are actively working to bring him back to Camp Nou. They have been vocal in their desire to resign Messi two years after letting him go due to their financial struggles. However, the Bluagrana remain in a tight financial corner and will struggle to sign the attacker unless they can raise over 200 million pounds from reduced wages and player sales.

And according to AFP, the 35-year-old has agreed to a switch to the Middle East. The report claims Al-Hilal has offered Messi a £400 million ($505m) deal. The contract will see him edge back ahead of eternal rival Ronaldo as the highest-paid player on the planet. However, another report by the French newspaper L’Equipe claims that Messi’s move to Saudi Arabia could be scuppered by his wife, Antonela Roccuzzo, as she does not want their family to move to the Middle East. Anotnela prefers to stay in Europe, with Paris and Barcelona, two cities she has come to love. However, it remains to be seen if that will affect Messi’s move to Saudi Arabia, given that he is an ambassador of the Gulf nation.

Manchester United interested in Napoli defender

May 9, 2023 No Comments

Manchester United are reportedly lining up a bid for defender Kim Min-jae after his impressive debut season with Napoli in the Serie A. The Red Devils want to bolster their defence this summer.

The defender reportedly has a £40million clause in his contract at Napoli that can be triggered by foreign teams this summer. But Corriere dello Sport claims that Man United are looking to blow any rival suitors out of the water by tabling a bid that exceeds the release clause in Kim’s deal by offering £53million. The Red Devils have lost Raphael Varane and Lisandro Martinez to long-term injuries, so Luke Shaw has been deployed in central defence for United recently. Club captain Harry Maguire has also fallen out of favour at Old Trafford; therefore, there is a need for defensive reinforcements in the summer window.
