June 28, 2023 No Comments

Tottenham has completed the £ 17 million signing of Italian goalkeeper Guglielmo Vicario from Empoli. The Premier League side has been looking to sign a new shot-stopper who will serve as a longer-term replacement for under-fire Hugo Lloris. The Frenchman is approaching the final 12 months of his deal and told the club of his desire for a new challenge earlier this month. Vicario will now serve as Lloris’ replacement, with the 26-year-old able to serve the club for another five years after signing a five-year contract.

The arrival of the goalkeeper now switches Spurs’ focus to the future of Lloris, who could be allowed to leave this summer on a free transfer following eleven years in north London. Meanwhile, Vicario will now attempt to establish himself in the Premier League and follow in the footsteps of other Italian goalies like Carlo Cudicini, who represented Chelsea and Tottenham. He will expect to become the club’s number one and will be deputised by 35-year-old Fraser Forster, who is contracted to the club until June 2024.

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.

Chelsea PUSHING to Sign in-demand Brighton’s Moises Caicedo

June 16, 2023 No Comments

Chelsea is hoping to win the race for the signature Brighton midfielder Moises Caicedo valued at over £80million. According to Sportsmail, the Blues have held several talks with the 21-year-old midfielder, and he has indicated interest that he wants to join the club this summer. Caicedo was a transfer target of Arsenal in January and was keen on joining the Gunners, even attempting to force a move. But Brighton stood firm and refused to sell to Mikel Arteta’s side. Caicedo stayed put and, in a surprise twist, signed a new deal at the Amex Stadium. The new deal reportedly had a condition that would allow the Ecuadorian to leave, meaning that interested clubs could buy him if they are able to agree on personal terms and meet Brighton’s valuation.

A fee has not been agreed yet, but with the player preferring a move to Stamford Bridge, there is optimism that a deal will get done. Brighton, who qualified for the Europa League, have already sold Caicedo’s regular midfield partner Alexis Mac Allister to Liverpool for £35m this summer.

June 16, 2023 No Comments

Manchester United have reportedly been dealt a huge blow in their pursuit of Napoli centre-back Kim Min-jae as Bayern Munich holds transfer talks with the defender. The Red Devils have been pushing hard to sign the South Korean defender this summer and were reportedly close to an agreement. However, in a surprise string of events, Bundesliga giants Bayern Munich have stolen a march on United in recent hours, having held ‘positive’ talks with the 26-year-old. Read more: Newcastle INTERESTED in Inter Milan star Nicolo Barella This is according to football transfer expert Fabrizio Romano, who claims that the Bavarians have already made their first proposal to the player’s agent. According to Romano, United remain interested in Kim, who has a release clause that can be activated in July. But Bayern have emerged as the favourites and are going ahead to discuss the player. The report also suggests that Newcastle United are also interested in Kim. So it’s down to the player to choose where he wants to play next season. The defender joined Napoli last season from Fernabache and was vital to the Serie A side’s Scudetto win. His performance for that Naples-based club has set Europe’s biggest clubs on alert, and they want to snap him up just one year after he joined Napoli.

Lionel Messi announces transfer to MLS signs on to Inter Miami

June 15, 2023 No Comments

Inter Miami was one of the MLS clubs vying hard to bring Lionel Messi over to their side. They were the most talked about place to be the star’s new destination. And now, Messi has made it official that he will be joining the team. Messi surprised football fans last week Wednesday by announcing that he will be wearing the colours of the Florida team from July. His announcement brought delight to Miami fans while shattering the hopes of all Barça fans. The attacker’s father, Jorge Messi will be travelling to conclude the contractual details. Lionel’s move to Inter Miami seemed impossible. But co-owner David Beckham successfully convinced him to move to the club. In the afternoon, Inter Miami debunked rumours while confirming the headlines that Messi joining the team were true. This was done through their official social media channels, which the player also reaffirmed.

There are still some loose ends, but we’ve decided to move forward. If the Barcelona deal didn’t go through, I wanted to leave Europe, get out of the spotlight and focus more on my family,” Leo said in an interview with Mundo Deportivo and Sport newspapers. Messi also pointed to Joan Laporta, “I really wanted to return to Barcelona. But after what I went through and the way I left… I’ve been accused of many things in my career at Barcelona that wasn’t true, and I was getting tired of it,” he said with some disappointment towards the Barcelona boss. Beckham achieved an impossible feat by bringing the greatest football player of all time to his side. But the question now is, will Messi be coming alone? Ángel Di María and Sergio Busquets may accompany Leo to the US as free agents. Although Fideo is approached by several European teams, like Benfica, his friendship with the former PSG player could tilt the odds in his favour. Busquets may have a more certain future. He is wanted by MLS’ Toronto FC, including two lucrative offers from Al-Hilal and Al-Nassar in Saudi Arabia who were interested in him. But, Sergio’s closeness with Lionel Messi seems to be directing him to Inter Miami as well.

June 15, 2023 No Comments

Newcastle United have emerged as a surprise contender for Inter Milan and Italy star Nicolo Barella. Barella has been one of Inter Milan’s most consistent performers this season and was instrumental in the club’s run to the Champions League final. Although his side lost to Manchester City in the final, the Italian midfielder showed his class in the game. According to The Telegraph, Newcastle have taken an interest in him and have extensively talked with him and Inter over a deal that would cost around £50m. Read more: Real Madrid CONFIRM £113m signing of Jude Bellingham from Borussia Dortmund According to the report, there is a belief a deal can be done, although the negotiations are not complete. Newcastle aren’t the only club that want Barella, though. Liverpool and Jurgen Klopp are also strong admirers, but their lack of Champions League football could affect their chances of securing the Italian’s signature. Eddie Howe’s side qualified for the Champions League after a top-four finish this season and have the advantage in the race for Barella. According to GOAL, Howe is said to have told the Newcastle board that he wants to sign two elite players this summer to prepare his side for Europe’s top club competition. Apart from Barella, the Magpies are also interested in buying James Maddison from Leicester, although they face competition from Tottenham.

Real Madrid have officially confirmed the signing of highly-rated Borussia Dortmund midfielder Jude Bellingham. The Spanish giant reportedly paid £113 million for the Englishman, who has agreed to a six-year deal. According to Sportsmail, the deal will guarantee Dortmund £ 88.5 million- but will rise towards £113.5m due to £25m worth of performance-related add-ons – believed to be achievable.

June 14, 2023 No Comments

Juventus have reportedly asked Chelsea about a potential move for out-of-favour USMNT star Christian Pulisic, who AC Milan and Napoli also want. According to the Gazzetta dello Sport via GOAL, the Old Lady’s sporting director Giovanni Manna was in London on Tuesday to hold a meeting with Chelsea over the potential transfer of Pulisic. The American attacker is one of the several players expected to leave Stamford Bridge this summer and is attracting interest from several Serie A sides, with Juventus the frontrunners. Read more: Sadio Mane is WANTED by Saudi club Al-Ettifaq According to the report, Chelsea are looking at using him in a player-plus-cash deal to sign Serbian striker Dusan Vlahovic. The Juventus striker is one of Chelsea’s targets for the striker position but is yet to decide if he will move to Stamford Bridge, as the Blues are not in Europe next season. However, Juventus wants to raise between €120-130 million this summer, and they hope to get around €80 million for Vlahovic. So that might negatively impact Pulisic’s chances of being included in the deal. Meanwhile, fellow Serie A clubs AC Milan and Napoli could offer him an escape route from Chelsea as they are reportedly keen to secure the winger’s services.

Sadio Mane is WANTED by Saudi club Al-Ettifaq

June 13, 2023 No Comments

Bayern Munich attacker Sadio Mane is the latest big player wanted by a club in Saudi Arabia. The country’s Public Investment Fund (PIF) is targeting a series of star players from top European clubs, having already sanctioned the signing of Karim Benzema from Real Madrid this season. Chelsea stars Kalidou Koulibaly and N’Golo Kante are also linked to a move to the Saudi Pro League. And according to the latest reports by GetFootball, the PIF are interested in signing Mane, who only joined Bayern Munich last summer. The former Liverpool winger was seen as a marquee signing when he joined the Bavarians last summer. But his first season at the club, though it started well, didn’t go to plan. Read more: Arsenal ‘OPEN talks with Leicester to sign defender Timothy Castagne He was famously sanctioned by the club for hitting his teammate Leroy Sane, while a leg injury before the World Cup also hampered his involvement with the team. As such, there have been suggestions that Bayern want to sell him this season. The Saudi PIF has now stepped in to deliver him from his Bayern nightmare. They have named Al-Ettifaq as the 31-year-old’s likely destination, given the Saudi Pro League club has registered an interest in signing him. However, the Saudi sovereign wealth fund has said that Mane can join whichever Saudi club he wants. Al-Ettifaq – who finished seventh in the league – are looking to reinforce their squad ahead of the 2023-2024 campaign and believe Mane would be a valuable addition. Should Mane join Al-Ettifaq, he will probably link up with former Liverpool manager Steven Gerrard, who was recently linked with taking over at the club.

His decision has now put PSG in a difficult position, as they must sell him this season to avoid losing him for free next year. The French giants had been willing to give him greater incentives to stay on a long-term deal, with the club planning to make him the face of their new project, which will heavily feature more France internationals. However, this move has come as a surprise and will leave them little option but to sanction a sale, with his long-time suitor Real Madrid is expected to be at the head of the queue. The Spanish giants want a replacement for Karim Benzema, who left for Saudi Arabia. But they know that PSG would demand a world record fee for Mbappe, and that might prove difficult as Los Blancos have already committed £88m of their budget to sign Jude Bellingham from Borussia Dortmund.
