The west Londoners were dealt a huge blow when Wesley Fofana suffered an ACL injury that is likely to rule him out for most of the upcoming season, but they have wasted no time in bringing in a replacement. Chelsea quickly identified Disasi as the ideal signing to bolster their right-sided centre-back options and he travelled to London on Tuesday to undergo a medical and put pen to paper on a long-term contract. The 25-year-old made 118 appearances for Monaco after joining the Ligue 1 side from Stade de Reims three years ago, often captaining the team, while he has four caps…
Liverpool knows what needs doing before the end of the summer, which is now only 29 days away. In exactly 29 days — to the minute when this article is published — the transfer window will slam shut. On the agenda primarily is finding a new number six, with Curtis Jones and others having stepped into that role over the course of the last few weeks. No permanent solution, though, has emerged. Thiago Alcântara and Stefan Bajčetić should both soon return to full training, but the former is not a perfect fit for that position, where there are a lot…
Chelsea entered the 2023 Women’s World Cup with more players than all but one other team, Barcelona, and that is still the case as we enter the knockout stages of the last 16 with no less than 13 Blues still in competition. Leading the way are of course England quintet Lauren James, Millie Bright, Jess Carter, Niamh Charles, and new signing Hannah Hampton, with James absolutely lights out so far in her two starts with three goals and three assist. It’s LJ’s world, we’re just living in it. They will take on unbeaten Nigeria, who advanced from Group B at…
Fabrizio Romano has claimed that Paris Saint-Germain are on the verge of signing Benfica striker Goncalo Ramos imminently. The striker, who scored 27 times last season, was also on Manchester United’s radar, but now he will complete an €80 million transfer to France. Goncalo Ramos has been Benfica’s most consistent performer over the last 18 months. His impressive form also landed him a place in the Portuguese national team squad for the World Cup, and he repaid the faith with a sensational hat-trick against Switzerland. Scoring three goals at the biggest stage at the expense of talismanic striker Cristiano Ronaldo…
Barcelona have made Manchester City midfielder Bernardo Silva their top priority for when Ousmane Dembele’s move to Paris Saint-Germain is confirmed. That’s according to Mundo Deportivo, who believe that Blaugrana boss Xavi Hernandez is desperate to land City’s wantaway 28-year-old midfielder, and wants the club to make him their top priority. Silva is also keen on moving to Barcelona, and he is hoping that City boss Pep Guardiola sticks to the promise he made of allowing Silva to leave, should the club receive the right offer. It’s now up to the Catalan club to assemble an offer good enough to persuade City to part with the Portuguese…
The Mbappé problem may overwhelm half of PSG. It is obvious that news stories that damage Kylian Mbappé’s reputation frequently occur. Or actions meant to irritate and hurt the player. For instance, not including him in the Japan tour as if he were an unnecessary club member. They are leaks or choices meant to irritate the player and elicit a response that shifts the needle in the direction PSG desires: a sale and financial gain this summer. When Luis Enrique has seen today a news of Le Parisien in which he questions the continuity of Luis Campos, who is the…
Rasmus Hojlund has completed his medical as Manchester United put the finishing touches to his £72million transfer. United are understood to be finalising Hojlund’s visa, registration and contract. Hojlund has agreed a five-year deal with the option of an additional year. The announcement of Hojlund’s arrival is still expected to be made around United’s friendly with Lens at 12.45pm at Old Trafford on Saturday. United paraded Raphael Varane and Casemiro prior to home wins against Leeds United and Liverpool in the last two seasons. Hojlund, 20, arrived later than planned on Tuesday and United’s schedule surrounding the Dane’s signing altered.…
A pivotal development in Barcelona’s summer transfer exploits has now been their turn of attention to the signing of Bernardo Silva. With Ousmane Dembele’s departure to Paris Saint-Germain all but sealed, the Catalans will be looking to reinforce the team and fill the void that he leaves. Albeit the Frenchman has had his issues with injuries, when fit, he is the most dynamic attacker Barcelona have, which means they will lose a significant amount of quality and unpredictability in attack. Given their stringent budget, even the sale of Dembele will likely not be enough for Barcelona to generate enough money…
Diario Sport reckon the Portugal international is desperate to move to the Camp Nou but a transfer will only be possible if the Catalans make a big sale. Bernardo has already rejected interest from PSG in the hope that Barca come calling, but as things stand the Catalans aren’t able to make the deal work financially, Mundo Deportivo reckon ‘Operation Bernardo’ is underway, following Ousmane Dembele’s exit, and the club are trying to come up with a formula that works. Xavi has made Bernardo his “absolute priority” and hopes Pep Guardiola would be willing to let the midfielder leave if he…
PSG made a loan offer to FC Barcelona for former player Neymar as part of negotiations for Ousmane Dembele’s anticipated transfer to the Qatari-owned club, according to SPORT. Dembele is expected to tell Barca that he intends to join PSG in the next few hours on Thursday. The Ligue 1 champions will pay Barca €50 million ($55 million) for the player despite his release clause for that amount expiring at midnight on July 31. Despite the fee required to release Dembele from the contract he extended last year until June 2024 doubling on August 1, however, PSG will only pay…
