Chelsea is more than halfway through their transfer business after selling or releasing twelve first team players in the last two months, making two senior signings with another three teen arrivals, and having three returning loanees. With Mauricio Pochettino still calling for a smaller squad despite the mass exodus of players from within – they could hardly have sold more if they tried – the last thing that was needed is probably a 19-year-old French midfielder to look after in the squad. There is still one more game to go of their pre-season preparations and even that comes more than…
The Fiorentina midfielder Sofyan Amrabat has been linked to both Manchester United and Al-Ahli this summer, according to the French publication L’Equipe. Amrabat attracted interest from several prominent European teams after a standout performance for Morocco during the 2022 World Cup. While Fiorentina rejected offers for their prized asset in January, the situation may be different this summer as the 26-year-old has shown no inclination to extend his contract beyond 2025. This indicates that the Italian club may be open to considering offers for the player during the current transfer window. Man United have been long interested in the African…
The Saudi Pro League club attempted to sign Lionel Messi before he joined Inter Miami and had a bid of €300 million (£259 million) accepted for Paris St. Germain’s Kylian Mbappe this summer; however, the player declined to meet with them. Napoli is believed to require more money than €150 million (£128.8 million) to even consider selling a player who led Serie A in goals scored last season as they won the championship. Osimhen, 24, was a target for Manchester United this summer due to the breakdown of contract negotiations with Napoli. According to Sky Italy, a meeting between Napoli…
The Alfredo di Stefano stadium at Los Blancos’ training facility in Valdebebas was used for most of the pandemic’s games. They have since made their way back to the Bernabeu, where they had been playing while construction on the stadium continued. To hide the construction, big tarpaulins had been draped over some of the stands. Meanwhile some fans at the top of the stadium have been without the usual cover provided from the roof. However Diario AS say that some of the supporters clubs have been informed of the set date of completion. This date has been delayed on several occasions, and…
Mbappe is unwilling to extend his contract with the Ligue 1 champions beyond June 2024. The extension clause that exists in the 24-year-old’s current contract expired on July 31. Mbappe will become a free agent in the summer of 2024 as things stand. There have been rumours that Madrid and Mbappe already have a contract in place, according to which the youngster will receive a €160 million signing bonus if he joins the LaLiga giants. FIFA forbids such contracts since they call for approaching a player without first getting permission from his existing employers.
The 2023/24 Premier League season will commence next Friday, with Manchester City taking on Burnley. Recall that Manchester City won the Premier League last season ahead of Arsenal, Manchester United, Liverpool, Newcastle United, Chelsea, Tottenham and others.

Almost a week after their first bid was turned down, Liverpool have had a second offer rejected for the Southampton midfielder. This Is Anfield understands that personal terms have already been agreed with Lavia, but the Saints are refusing to stoop lower than their reported £50 million asking price. Reputable journalist Melissa Reddy reports that Liverpool “tabled an improved bid for” the 19-year-old, which is understood to be £41m including add-ons.This still falls some way short of what Southampton are demanding but, as the window progresses, they may be more likely to budge, having been relegated to the Championship last season. However, soccerhuz.com…
Henderson spent eight years as skipper following Steven Gerrard’s departure in 2015 but vacated the armband when he moved to Saudi Pro League side Al Ettifaq – who are coached by Gerrard – in July. Milner’s move to Brighton following the expiry of his Liverpool contract also meant the role of vice-captain at Anfield was vacant, with academy graduate Alexander-Arnold being chosen as his replacement. Van Dijk told Liverpool’s website: “A really proud day for me, for my wife, for my kids, my family. It’s been a special feeling. “Obviously I’m captain of Holland, that was already such a huge…

Andre, a player now playing for Fluminense, may be available this summer, according to Liverpool. After the recent departures of Jordan Henderson and Fabinho to the Saudi Pro League, Jurgen Klopp is eager to bolster his midfield.
