Real Madrid handed a huge blow as Paris Saint-Germain plot a move for Ramos
Real Madrid are yet to renew the contracts of Sergio Ramos, Luka Modric, and Lucas Vazquez. The trio are legally permitted by the Spanish FA rules and regulations to begin negotiations with clubs outside of Spain from January onwards. With the new year shortly commencing in a few days, Real Madrid must get down to business to renew the contract of Sergio Ramos. A report from Todo Fichajes states that Paris Saint-Germain has shown a great deal of signing Sergio Ramos next summer as a free agent. Mauricio Pochettino has been tipped to take over PSG shortly, and the former Premier League manager himself has put forward the name of Ramos to the board. The Argentine manager believes that Ramos would be the ideal replacement for Thiago Silva who left earlier this summer on a free transfer to Che...
World-class striker snubs Real Madrid to wait for Messi at Paris Saint-Germain
It seemed like Kylian Mbappe would be announced as a Real Madrid signing in the summer of 2021 after the French forward had reportedly asked the Paris Saint-Germain board to let him leave at the end of the season. However, since then, a lot has changed for Mbappe, PSG, and Real Madrid. Diaro GOL reports that Mbappe has considered not to make a move next summer to the Santiago Bernabeu as the 22-year-old forward wants to see out his contract at the Parc des Princes. Another reason is that the former AS Monaco star wants to experience a season with Lionel Messi who has been tipped to sign for Paris Saint-Germain next summer. With Thomas Tuchel being sacked a few days ago, former Tottenham Hotspur manager Mauricio Pochettino has been tipped to take over the role. Pochettino reportedly wants L...
Paris Saint-Germain plot a stunning move for La Joya of Juventus
Paulo Dybala could be on his way out of Juventus next summer itself. The Bianconeri have made several attempts at renewing the forward’s contract, however, there seems to be no progression with the negotiations. Having said that, Calico Mercato reports that Paris Saint-Germain has come knocking on the door for Dybala. The report states that the soon-to-be-coach Mauricio Pochettino has demanded the signing of Paulo Dybala. The 27-year-old forward has been linked with a move to Manchester United, Barcelona, and Real Madrid, however, it seems like the former Parma man could be on his way to the Parc des Princes. Paulo Dybala has not managed to adapt to Andrea Pirlo’s management. The Italian coach prefers using the attacking duo of Cristiano Ronaldo and Alvaro Morata instead which seems t...
Report: Leeds target ‘willing to look for a new club’…could be available at £35m
According to reports from Eurosport, Adama Traore could leave Wolverhampton Wanderers, either in January or next summer. The 24-year-old winger – who has now gone an entire year without scoring a Premier League goal – has a contract at the club till 2023. However, despite the club’s several attempts, the contract talks haven’t gone to plans, and it has left Nuno Espirito Santo extremely frustrated. The report claims that clubs like Barcelona and Manchester City previously showed interest in him with Wolves demanding £70m. However, given his poor return in front of goal and him not making enough impact like the previous years, his value has dropped. Wolves are trying to be realistic in the transfer market and the player could be snapped up for around half that figure. Should Leeds...
Scout Report: How Juande Will Fare as Cido’s Replacement for Kerala Blasters
One of the reasons for Kerala Blasters’ poor showing so far this season is the long-term injury that key midfielder Sergio Cidoncha suffered against Chennaiyin FC in late November. Now, over a month later, they have signed his replacement, Juan de Dios Prados López. The Spanish midfielder started his career aged 19 at Real Betis, before moving to Granada on loan six years later. After stints with lower-division sides including Spezia in Spain, Belgium and Italy, the 34-year-old midfielder travelled to Australia to play for Perth Glory in 2018, winning the Players’ Player of the Year Award in both of his seasons in the A-League. His next move sees him cross the ocean once again, but he’ll stop in India to join Kerala Blasters. Here is what we can expect from him in the ISL: Playing Style Ju...
Cristiano Ronaldo wants Real Madrid star to join Juventus
Cristiano Ronaldo wants Juventus to go for one of the most experienced players from the Real Madrid roster during the upcoming months. Real Madrid took a slight backseat as Cristiano Ronaldo made a blockbuster move to Juventus during the summer of 2018. The Portugal international was not well replaced in the transfer window of his exit, which saw Los Blancos pay the ultimate price of enduring a trophyless season. However, they did pull up their socks in 2019. Florentino Perez spent an incremental amount and brought in some fine players last summer as the Whites won La Liga. One of the president’s recruit was left-back Ferland Mendy, who has quickly developed into one of the world’s best in his position. In doing so, the Frenchman has outdone Marcelo and therefore won over his manager’s tru...
Carlo Ancelotti drops hint on Everton’s January transfer window plans
With four consecutive Premier League wins, Everton have now jumped to second in the Premier League behind Liverpool. The Toffees secured a 1-0 win against Sheffield United on Saturday where Gylfi Sigurdsson scored the winner for Carlo Ancelotti’s side. After the game, Ancelotti was asked about what Everton’s ambitions are with the January transfer window approaching. Football clubs all over the world (with exceptions like Chelsea) have gone through a financial constraint due to the Coronavirus pandemic, and it is highly unlikely that most Premier League clubs would spend big in January. Everton are expecting to have a quiet transfer window, and Ancelotti has hinted he is not even thinking about it. “I think we have a good squad. We are missing a lot of important players. Digne, Alan, James...
Steve Bruce outlines his aim for this season, some NUFC fans react: ‘He should resign now’
Newcastle United fans are unhappy with Steve Bruce’s comments regarding his aim for the season. The Newcastle United manager revealed that he is just looking to keep the club in the Premier League this year. At the start of the season, Steve Bruce claimed that a top-half finish was a possibility for Newcastle United but it seems that he has given up on those hopes already. He said (via Chronicle): “My remit is to keep Newcastle in the Premier League this season and keep trying to edge the club forward.” Newcastle United crashed to a 2-0 defeat against Manchester City last time out and they are 13th in the Premier League table with 18 points from 12 matches. There is no reason why Newcastle United cannot finish in the top half after the start they have made this season. The fact that t...
The Athletic: Jose Mourinho would like a backup for 25-yr-old Spurs star in January
Tottenham are unlikely to spend during the January transfer window despite the fact that Jose Mourinho is looking to add more depth to his midfield. David Ornstein from the Athletic claims that Daniel Levy is unlikely to spend at all during the winter transfer window because the money is probably not there after the summer outlay. The reputed journalist also revealed that 24-year-old England international Dele Alli is keen on a permanent exit from the club and the likes of Paris Saint-Germain are keen on the midfielder. Apparently, Mauricio Pochettino is in line to take over at the French club and it will be interesting to see if he pursues a reunion with Alli. Dele Alli has fallen down the pecking order under Jose Mourinho and it will be interesting to see if he can regain his first-team ...
Report: Leeds want a top quality goalie as they eye potential January move for 27y/o
According to The Sun, Leeds United are looking for a top quality goalkeeper and are keeping tabs on West Bromwich Albion’s Sam Johnstone ahead of a potential transfer when the window opens next month. Brighton and Hove Albion are also keen on the 27-year-old, and with 18 months left on his current deal, West Brom could be forced to sell him if a suitable offer comes in. Leeds have 20-year-old Illan Meslier as their first-choice goalkeeper after Kiko Casilla lost his spot due to a long-term ban for alleged racism, and while the French youngster has been in inspired form since taking over, it appears that head coach Marcelo Bielsa is keen on an addition. The Leeds goalie has kept four clean sheets and made 56 saves in 14 Premier League games, but he has also conceded the most goals (30) in t...
Report: Spurs begin talks to sign 26-yr-old, player plus cash offer on the table
Tottenham are interested in signing the RB Leipzig midfielder Marcel Sabitzer. According to journalist Ekrem Konur, the Premier League club have already begun talks to sign the Austrian midfielder. Apparently, Tottenham have offered a player plus cash for Marcel Sabitzer. It will be interesting to see if they can convince the German outfit to cash in on the 26-year-old midway through the season. Martial Sabitzer has done exceedingly well for RB Leipzig over the past year and he could prove to be a quality addition to Jose Mourinho’s midfield. The 26-year-old can play in a number of positions and his versatility will be an added bonus for Tottenham. Martial Sabitzer can operate as a defensive midfielder, a central midfielder, an attacking midfielder and he can ...
Opinion: Liverpool must take Carragher’s transfer advice and sign 22-yr-old in January
Former Liverpool defender Jamie Carragher recently urged the club to spend big on a centre back. The Reds are struggling with an injury crisis at the back and the likes of Virgil van Dijk and Joe Gomez have been ruled out for several months. It will be interesting to see if Liverpool dip into the transfer market next month to sign a centre back. The Reds have been linked with a move for the RB Leipzig defender Dayot Upamecano recently and Carragher claimed in October that Liverpool should pay extra money and bring the player in on the 1st of January. Carragher said (via Liverpool Echo): “There is a young man everyone was talking about at Leipzig, Dayot Upamecano, there is talk of him. Whether he has the profile of Van Dijk, I think he is only 6’1″ or 6’2”, so he is maybe not that aerial, b...
