A Wednesday in the first week of an international break is never likely to bring much news, and today has been an understandably slow one for those of a Liverpool persuasion. Liverpool are claimed to be one of the clubs interested in 18-year-old Corinthians midfielder Gabriel Moscardo. That’s the claim in the Standard, who say that Chelsea, Arsenal and Barcelona are the other interested clubs. It’s claimed that he would cost £26 million, and that Chelsea already had an £18 million bid rejected. He’s a versatile midfielder, predominantly as a defensive midfielder – which would certainly tick a big box at Anfield. Now,…
Tottenham boss Ange Postecoglou is reportedly willing to part ways with Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg in order to secure one of his top targets in the January transfer window. Reports suggest the north London club are prepared to listen to offers for the central midfielder in January as Postecoglou looks to continue his pursuit of Champions League football and potentially a title challenge in the second half of the season. Hojbjerg was a key member of the squad last season under Antonio Conte before the Italian was sacked. Even then, interim boss Ryan Mason leaned on the Dane to lead the side…
Thiago Alcântara has painted himself as a special type of player since his arrival on Merseyside in the summer of 2020. The Italian-born midfielder joined Liverpool having recently secured the Champions League with Bayern Munich, with Jürgen Klopp set to benefit from a true controller within his ranks. “This team deserves a player like him,” said his assistant, Pep Lijnders, at the time, while also describing him as a ‘solution’ for the Reds to use on the pitch. Liverpool’s engine room was packed full of industry and vigor at the time, but none of the midfielders at the club proved to be…
Keyrol Figueroa has helped his side progress to the under-17 World Cup knockout stages, with his first goal of the tournament sealing USA’s path to the last 16 with a game to spare. While Liverpool’s academy players have had a pause put on their season for the international break, Figueroa is currently in Indonesia competing for a major honour at youth level. Keyrol, the son of former Wigan defender Maynor Figueroa, has played the opening two games in Group E and has walked away with a win each time for six points from six. The 17-year-old played 78 minutes in…
David De Gea has been a free agent for the last four months, having left Manchester United when his contract expires at the end of June. He does not appear to be close to finding a club to play for, but he could be able to buy one. According to Onda Cero (via Diario AS), De Gea met with Pascual Perez, the owner of Segunda side Eldense, last week to discuss a potential sale. Perez announced his intention to sell the club back in September, and De Gea has now shown interest in buying. However, at this stage, it was only…
Manchester United have struggled for goals this season. That much is obvious. The Red Devils have not scored anywhere near enough in the Premier League, though they have gotten better at grinding out wins when not at their best. Rasmus Hojlund is 100% the future in the number nine position, though he’s yet to score in the league and it’d be unfair to believe he can shoulder the burden single-handedly. It’s why the Red Devils could look to bring in a new number nine, presumably in place of Anthony Martial. Calciomercato throw a possible option into the ring in the form of…
The confirmation of Ratcliffe’s purchase is expected this week, prompting speculation of a significant staff reshuffle. The positions of Richard Arnold and John Murtough are uncertain for the coming year. Despite recent improvements in form, Erik ten Hag’s position was always going to be secure as Ratcliffe prefers to settle into his role before implementing any major changes. Todibo, the Nice defender, is being pursued to reinforce the right side of central defence. Meanwhile, potential approaches are anticipated, with Saudi Arabian clubs expressing interest in Bruno Fernandes as part of their Middle East project. However, there are no ongoing talks,…
Manchester United have signed a few players from Real Madrid in recent years and continue to be linked with more as they just can’t return to the top of English football since Sir Alex Ferguson retired in 2013. It has been more than a decade now. Every time it looks like the club are on the right path, they take several steps back. Raphael Varane is someone Manchester United signed from Real Madrid, back in the summer of 2021. It was expected to take the club to the next level. A proven winner at all levels. That has not happened.…
The Dutchman oversaw an excellent first season at the helm, helping Manchester United to Carabao Cup success, the FA Cup final and a top-three finish in the Premier League, which crucially brought Champions League football back to Old Trafford. However, little has gone right for Ten Hag this season with the club undergoing their worst start to a season in 51 years. And having already suffered nine defeats in their opening 18 matches – their worst run of form at the start of a campaign since 1962/63 – speculation on Ten Hag’s future has began to uncomfortably swirl. Indeed, our exclusive revealed,…
