Might Saudi Arabian club Al-Nassr be interested in Alisson Becker? Yes, sure. But while Alisson is a world class goalkeeper, catching the interest of a Saudi club in this transfer window isn’t exactly a high bar to clear. If you’ve ever so much as walked past a display of football boots in a mall, you’ve probably gotten an offer to play in their pro league. Alisson hasn’t hinted that he is interested in a move, but Al-Nassr is said to be hoping that their offer will be too good to refuse. Adding to that is the fact that several of…
Real Madrid were handed a major problem recently when Thibaut Courtois suffered a torn ACL before the campaign had even begun. An injury of that magnitude is expected to put him on the sidelines for an extended length of time, possibly even the entire season. The club already had Andriy Lunin as the Belgian goalkeeper’s cover but most felt that that was not enough. Real Madrid have gone out and added to their goalkeeping ranks quickly though. The club have signed Kepa Arrizabalaga on a season-long loan from Chelsea. Kepa was the starting goalkeeper for Chelsea last season and despite facing a…
Chelsea are closing in on the signing of Crystal Palace winger Michael Olise – a player who has some high-profile admirers. The Blues have activated Olise’s £35million release clause and are pushing hard to add him to Mauricio Pochettino’s ever-expanding squad. Chelsea have also agreed a fee of £53m, plus £5m in add-ons, to sign Southampton midfielder Romeo Lavia, and are assembling a group of talented young players for Pochettino to work with. Olise impressed by chipping in with 11 assists in the Premier League for Palace last season and was also of interest to Manchester City. But he now looks likely to re-join the…
Liverpool FC Women begin their pre-season campaign at St Andrew’s on Sunday when they take on Birmingham City. Tickets for the match are now available and any supporters wishing to make the trip can book their tickets for free here. The match kicks off at 3pm BST as Matt Beard’s Reds face the team that finished runners-up in the FA Women’s Championship by just a point last season.
Liverpool have only lured two creative midfielders in the summer transfer window thus far. Now, they are focusing on things at the back. Apart from luring a quality defensive midfielder, the Reds must sign a top defender to improve the backline at Anfield. According to Football Insider, Liverpool are prepared to press on with a move to bring a new center back this summer and the top target is Goncalo Inaicio. Sporting CP star has won multiple titles in Portugal including the Liga Nos in the 2020-21 season and he is an extremely important member of the Lions squad. Today’s…
The transfer window has just two weeks left and there are still a host of moves on the table following a record-breaking move for Moises Caicedo. He would have been an interested spectator as Chelsea drew 1-1 with Liverpool and the midfielder has since completed his move to Stamford Bridge for a British record fee despite late interest from the Reds. Manchester United are still working on new recruits – namely Sofyan Amrabat – and have had scouts in France over the weekend but may have to sell a few more players first, with Harry Maguire yet to complete his move…
Fabrizio Romano reported earlier on Tuesday that Brighton had made a bid of €17m plus €3m in add-ons for the Cameroonian starlet but that falls short of Lille’s asking price of £30m. Baleba broke into the Lille first team last season, making 21 appearances across all competitions. Still only 19 years old, he is under contract with the French Ligue 1 outfit until 2026. Teamtalk report that Liverpool have an interest in the midfielder and will join the race with Brighton as Jurgen Klopp looks to add another to his squad before the transfer window shuts. In addition to these two clubs,…
Mohamed Salah didn’t score for Liverpool at the weekend, but he still made most of the headlines after Liverpool’s draw with Chelsea. Indeed, Salah didn’t do a good job of hiding his anger when he was substituted by Jurgen Klopp at Stamford Bridge, and it looked as though all was not ok between Salah and his gaffer. As ever, this whole situation has been dissected and debated to the nth degree after the game, and speaking on the BBC Radio Five Live Football Daily Podcast, Nigel Reo-Coker has now suggested that Salah could leave for Saudi Arabia after this incident.…
Free-scoring Montpellier striker Elye Wahi (20) has still not chosen his future club, two weeks before the end of the summer transfer window. Chelsea looked to be the most likely club to lure the French U21, international with Wahi visiting the Cobham facilities. However, soccerhuz.com reports this Tuesday that the 20-year-old is questioning the Blues’ sporting project and the significance of the role he would play with Mauricio Pochettino’s side – even if, despite their spendthrift transfer spree, Chelsea can only rely on Nicolas Jackson as an outright striker for now. Chelsea are not the only club interested in the…
After striking a deal over a fee with the Saints, Chelsea set about finalising the terms of a move which sources have confirmed is worth around £58m including add-ons. Southampton director Jason Wilcox confirmed earlier on Tuesday that the two clubs were still in negotiations at that point, but just a few hours later, the Saints have shook hands with Chelsea and are bidding farewell to Lavia. Lavia is due to undergo a medical with Chelsea in the coming days ahead of putting pen to paper on another long-term contract at Stamford Bridge. The Belgian had the opportunity to join Liverpool this summer but,…
