Harry Kane is still HOPING Man United will RESURRECT their bid to sign him this summer

June 27, 2023 No Comments

Tottenham Hotspur striker Harry Kane is still waiting for Manchester United to resurrect their desire to sign him this summer if Spurs chairman Daniel Levy lowers his asking price. The Red Devils are strong admirers of Kane and were keen on acquiring him this summer. But they were put off by Levy’s £100 million valuation of the player, who is also attracting interest from Bayern Munich. Man United feel that £100 million is too much for Kane, who turns 30 next month and has just one year left on his contract. They have turned their attention to signing Atalanta’s Rasmus Hojlund, who is younger and will cost far less than what Spurs want for Kane.

According to a report by Sportsmail, a price closer to £80m could tempt United back to the negotiating table, and Kane is hoping that will be the case. However, Levy has also made it clear that he doesn’t want to sell the England captain to an English club in a move that would weaken Spurs and strengthen one of their rivals. While other clubs outside of Emgksnd are monitoring the situation, Kane’s clear preference is United, and he hopes that Levy will relent rather than have to write off £ 80 million as the striker will be available for nothing in a year’s time. However, the feeling on all sides is that the Tottenham chairman will stick to his guns – as he did when rejecting a £125m bid from Manchester City two years ago – and Kane will be forced to wait another year to leave as a free agent.

He made his debut away at Everton and endeared himself to the Blues fans after marking his first home game with a fantastic volley against Tottenham Hotspur. He also scored his second Chelsea goal in a London derby away to Fulham. However, these contributions were not enough to pass him as a success at Stanford Bridge. He made 32 appearances for the Blues during his sole campaign at Stamford Bridge.

In a statement confirming the defender’s exit, Chelsea said: “We would like to thank Kalidou for his contributions on and off the pitch during his time at Stamford Bridge and wish him well for the next stage of his career.” After the news was confirmed, the 32-year-old also posted a thank-you message on his Twitter handle. “From my first game to my last, it was an honour to wear this badge,” he said. “Last season wasn’t the one we wanted, but I want to thank the fans and everyone at the club for your support.” Meanwhile, Koulibaly is also Al-Hilal’s second high-profile signing this month after they added Wolves captain Ruben Neves to their ranks. The former Napoli centre-back is not the last Chelsea player that will sign for a Saudi Pro League club his summer. Fellow Africans Halim Ziyech and Edouard Mendy are expected to complete transfers to Al Nassr and Al Ahli, respectively, in the next few days.

Manchester City midfielder Ilkay Gundogan has signed for Barcelona after leaving the Etihad on a free transfer. The former Borussia Dortmund midfielder will join the Camp Nou side on a two-year deal – with the option of a 12-month extension. Man City wanted to keep Gundogan behind this summer. Still, he rejected a contract extension in favour of a move to Spain, ending his seven-year association with City, with whom he won twelve major trophies, including a historic treble last season. The 32-year-old scored 60 goals in 304 games for the Cityzens and was an important figure in the dressing room under Pep Guardiola.

When I had to break the news to the boys that I was leaving in our group chat, I was very emotional. I will miss all of them, honestly. But I am happy to say that I’m leaving here as a champion, and I have nothing but love for the club in my heart. “It’s amazing what we achieved. Five Premier League titles in my seven years here. Two FA Cups. The Champions League. The treble. But those are just trophies. The thing that I will remember the most is the feeling inside the squad, especially this season. I’ve never experienced something like it in football.” Gundogan also spoke about his move to Barcelona, admitting that he had always wanted to join the Spanish club. “If I was going to move, there is only one club in the world that made sense. “It was Barcelona or nothing. Ever since I was a little kid, I dreamed of wearing that shirt someday.”

June 25, 2023 No Comments

Europa Conference League champions West Ham have reportedly identified Juventus midfielder Denis Zakaria as the replacement for the departing Declan Rice. The 26-year-old Swizterland international spent last season on loan at Chelsea after struggling with game time in Turin. However, his loan move to Chelsea did not go to plan, as he made just eleven appearances for the Blues. Zakaria only moved to Juventus in 2022 after enjoying success at Borussia Monchengladbach. But he made 13 appearances for the Serie A side that season before he was loaned out to Chelsea.

That has left Zakaria, who is contracted at Juventus until 2026, in limbo as the Old Lady want to sell him permanently this summer. According to Sportsmail, West Ham have added him to the list of potential signings once the exit of Declan Rice is confirmed. Arsenal are leading the race to sign the West Ham captain this summer, though the Hammers expect Man City to come in with a bid for the England international. Meanwhile, West Ham are also targeting Ajax midfielder Edson Alvarez and Fulham’s Joao Palhinha. However, deals for both players have been considered difficult to achieve. Palhinha, in particular, could be difficult to achieve given Fulham want £90million for the midfielder.

Newcastle REACH agreement with AC Milan for Sandro Tonali

June 21, 2023 No Comments

Newcastle United have reached an agreement with AC Milan for the signing of Italy international midfielder Sandro Tonali. The Magpies are keen on adding a creative midfielder to their ranks this summer and have targeted Inter Milan midfielder Nicolo Barella and Leicester City midfielder James Maddison. But the price tag of both players has discouraged them from pursuit, with Inter wanting £70million for Barella while Leicester want £60million for Maddison, who has been leaning towards a move to Tottenham. Read more: Manchester United is ACTIVELY searching for a NEW GOALKEEPER as David de Gea contract talks continue Inter and Leicester’s valuation of both players has led Newcastle to chase Italy international Tonali, who they expect to get for less. Earlier this week, Eddie Howe’s side presented an opening bid of £42million (€50million) for the player. But according to 90min, they have now agreed on a deal with Newcastle, with the Magpies expected to pay €70m (£60m), including add-ons. That would make Tonali the second most expensive signing of all time at St. James Park, following last year’s capture of Swedish forward Alexander Isak. Tonali will now undergo a medical in Romania – where Italy are based for the European Under-21 Championships – before putting pen to paper on a six-year contract. The 23-year-old has 14 senior caps for Italy. He has made 130 appearances for AC Milan and won the Serie A title in the 2021-22 season.
