Chelsea cruised to a 3-0 victory over ES Tunis to set up a last 16 meeting with Benfica at the FIFA Club World Cup. Enzo Maresca’s side had beaten LAFC in their opening group stage match, but a 3-1 defeat against Brazilian outfit Flamengo threatened their place I the knockout stages and meant they had to beat their Tunisian opponents to ensure qualification. Goals from Tosin Adarabioyo, Liam Delap and Tyrique George earned the Blues an important victory, with Portuguese giants Benfica lying in wait in the first knockout round. Off the pitch, it appears that one of Chelsea’s most…
There is confusion heavily present in the situation of Maignan. After all, it is difficult to navigate among all parties. Milan want to keep the goalkeeper and are attempting to restart contract discussions. Only a few weeks ago, the Frenchman stated his desire to leave amid a bid from Chelsea. Of course, the former is not a refusal to the latter, should it arrive. He could well sign a new deal and also depart, though the chances are heavily unlikely. Instead, it would probably be one way or the other. For now, though, there is a bit of safety –…
Edu Gaspar usually decided his main targets and went all out for them, but his successor at the Emirates Stadium works differently Berta explores moves for several players at the same time before deciding who to go for, and that, in our opinion, is the wise thing to do. One of the names Berta has internally discussed at Arsenal is Rafael Leao of AC Milan. The Portugal international has been a star for AC Milan since he joined them from Lille, and his performances have caught the eye of several big clubs. Foot Mercato revealed in May that Andrea Berta…
Mikel Arteta could elevate Bukayo Saka and Martin Odegaard to new heights with the addition of two proven Premier League stars reportedly on Arsenal’s radar. Last season, Saka suffered a hamstring injury in December that sidelined him for 19 games – a major blow to Arsenal’s title push. The 23-year-old has been a consistent and vital figure for the Gunners, but the physical toll is starting to show Odegaard faced a similar setback at the beginning of the campaign. An ankle sprain ruled the club captain out for two months. While both players are clearly fit and resilient, the relentless…
Andreas Christensen is one of many Barcelona players who are facing an uncertain future at Camp Nou as the club brace themselves for a crucial week ahead. With the squad having at least five players who can operate at centre-back, Barcelona are expected to sanction the sale of at least one. Christensen has emerged as the most likely candidate, having mostly struggled with injuries over the past year or so. According to Mundo Deportivo, AC Milan are among the clubs interested in a move for Christensen this summer. The Rossoneri are keen on shoring up their ranks in the defensive…
When life throws lemons, Quincy Olivari doesn’t just make lemonade; he builds a whole roadside stand. The Los Angeles Lakers’ 24-year-old guard is again set to join the summer league in a couple of weeks. It’s a solid break for Olivari, who’s clawing his way towards a permanent NBA seat. But a few months ago, his world was unraveling fast. Recently, the young hoopstar opened up about a brutal chapter that nearly crushed him. His voice cracked as he recalled those nights, proving that even the toughest ballers bleed sometimes. Quincy Olivari went undrafted in the 2024 NBA Draft but…
Rodrigo De Paul is expected to leave Atletico Madrid this summer, and AC Milan are among the teams keen on him as per a report. Milan are looking for players that can come in and help fill the void left by the departure of Tijjani Reijnders to Manchester City, a player who scored 15 goals last season across all competitions. While there are links with players like Granit Xhaka, Samuele Ricci and most recently Ardon Jashari, the management will no doubt be aware that a more forward-thinking midfielder with an eye for goal would be very useful. According to TMW,…
Antonio Vitiello believes it is a shame how Theo Hernandez’s time at AC Milan ended, but now the funds are there for an ambitious summer. Initially it seemed that joining Al-Hilal was off the table for Theo despite the huge salary offer, as the left-back wanted to stay in Europe. Atletico Madrid were his preference, but they did not offer anywhere close to the same transfer fee, so no agreement was reached with Milan. Atletico then moved on, no other clubs came in and the Saudi offer was the only one left for Theo, at least without wanting to wait…
Oleksandr Zinchenko is increasingly expected to leave Arsenal this summer as the club prepares to trim its squad ahead of the new season. Once considered a regular starter, the Ukrainian international has now slipped to third-choice left-back in Mikel Arteta’s pecking order, with other defenders also capable of operating in the same position. With just one year remaining on his contract, Arsenal have not opened discussions regarding an extension. This move has been interpreted as a clear signal to the player that he is no longer part of the club’s long-term plans. The Gunners intend to upgrade key areas of…
Milan talent Francesco Camarda is set to join Lecce on loan with an option to buy and a buy-back option for the Rossoneri. Milan striker Camarda is set to join Lecce on loan for the 2025-26 campaign. Sources with direct knowledge of the matter tell me that the two clubs have reached an agreement over the 17-year-old’s loan move to the Stadio Via Del Mare. Other Italian clubs, such as Spezia, had shown interest in the promising striker, but Camarda’s desire to play in Serie A made the difference. Camarda will soon complete a loan move with an option to…
