Perhaps it is the nature of the sport in 2025, this burning desire to see new signings, or what I like to call ‘shiny new toy syndrome I remember covering the club where players would frustrate supporters for not applying themselves enough on the field. But then, when they were out of the side and their influence on the side was not seen suddenly, they would again become the best player, and there would be calls for them to come back in, only for the desired impact not to materialise when they did – you can come up with the…
If you are an Arsenal supporter, it is hard not to feel paranoid about the Martin Zubimendi transfer from Real Sociedad Cast your minds back to last year and Liverpool thought they had got the job done for Zubimendi. All signs pointed to him moving to Anfield and the Reds were convinced they had got their man However, at the last minute the deal fell through with Zubimendi choosing to remain in San Sebastian and Arne Slot left licking his wounds. Of course, if this had not have happened, they would not have discovered Ryan Gravenberch’s ability in a deeper…
This was the post on journalist Tancredi Palmeri’s X profile. There’s little room for interpretation. The figures speak for themselves, and this isn’t just about depreciation or slightly lower-than-expected returns — it’s almost worse than that. Reijnders was initially expected to leave for at least 70–75 million plus bonuses. Instead, he joins Manchester City for 55 (plus bonuses, of course). Maignan, who is the captain and one of the few positive figures in this season’s difficult campaign, has started talks with Chelsea, and Milan is doing nothing but waiting for offers, showing no real intent to keep him, apart perhaps…
Germany fell again in the match for third place in the UEFA Nations League, this time against France (0-2). Marc-André ter Stegen was again a starter and, despite completing 6 notable saves, he could not prevent his team from falling in Stuttgart. Kylian Mbappé and Desiré Doué scored the French goals. The FC Barcelona goalkeeper and captain was very confident under the posts, also completing 11 of 12 passes (91%) and 5 recoveries. 4 of his 6 saves were in the second half, where Didier Deschamps’ team had at least five clear chances to finish the match. Mbappé had put…
Lakers star LeBron James has given no indication that he plans to join a different team for his 23rd NBA season. Still, after several team changes throughout his career, LeBron has shown a willingness to leave teams before, and there’s no guarantee he’ll re-sign with the Lakers this summer. While he’s got ties to Los Angeles, LeBron and his family are known to adapt on the fly, and there’s no reason to think he couldn’t find success somewhere else for the last stretch of his career. That’s why, ever since their brutal playoff run ended short, experts have been advising…
Viktor Gyokeres fancies a move to Arsenal if he gets the pick of his clubs this summer. Arsenal are one of a number of top clubs targeting the Sporting Lisbon forward with Manchester United among others looking at the 27-year-old. But Sporting believe that Gyokeres prefers Arsenal and the Premier League over interest from Spain and Italy. Arsenal can also offer Champions League football which is something that United cannot boast for any potential transfer targets this summer. Sporting are ready to sell the Sweden international who hit 95 goals in 100 appearances for the Portuguese club who will allow…
Chelsea are on the verge of completing the signing of Mike Maignan from AC Milan, with a full agreement expected to be signed on Monday, June 9, according to reports from La Gazzetta dello Sport and Calciomercato.com. The 29-year-old French international has already agreed personal terms with the Blues, and only the final paperwork stands between him and a move to Stamford Bridge. Chelsea initially entered negotiations with a budget of no more than €15 million, but Milan have successfully pushed the fee up slightly. The two clubs are now set to settle on a deal worth around €18 million—a…
Maignan is reportedly pushing for an exit after failing to reach an agreement on the contract renewal, feeling betrayed by the Milan management. As such, negotiations are underway and the coming days will be decisive for a potential deal. According to Matteo Moretto, speaking on Fabrizio Romano’s YouTube channel, Milan have secured Vanja Milinkovic-Savic’s services as a precaution. They obviously know that the Maignan negotiations are at an advanced stage and as such, sporting director Igli Tare reached out to the goalkeeper’s agent. The two have a great relationship, facilitating a potential deal, while there is also a €20m release…
This morning, Gazzetta dello Sport reported that Milan had more or less reached an agreement with Chelsea at €18m. However, Fabrizio Romano made it clear that the offer was valued at €15m, with Di Marzio now adding that it’s a figure that the Rossoneri have rejected. On his website, the reputable journalist writes that Chelsea have indeed tabled a €15m offer, but that it was rejected by Milan pretty quickly. Despite the expiring contract, sporting director Igli Tare and co have made it clear that £20m will be needed, which is around €24m. Only then could the deal be unblocked,…
