According to a recent report from L’Equipe, Liverpool are keeping a very close eye on Toulouse youngster Mathieu Goncalves heading into the January transfer window. The Reds are hoping to bring in a few new faces during the upcoming window in order to beef out their squad a little bit ahead of what is bound to be a busy few months as they compete in three major competitions.
Goncalves, at the age of just 18, still has a long way to go before he is considered to be a fully developed defender – but he has certainly been taking the right steps under the guidance of Toulouse.
Jurgen Klopp has always shown a keen interest in bringing through the stars of tomorrow and helping them to grow, but there are certainly questions to be asked regarding just how feasible it i…
Barcelona are interested in signing Shkodran Mustafi in the January transfer window, according to the Arsenal central defender’s agent, Emre Ozturk. Ozturk has told that he was in Barcelona to negotiate on behalf of the 28-year-old
“I’m not in Barcelona because of Yusuf Demir, but because of Shkodran Mustafi from Arsenal, whom we also represent,” Ozturk told
Mustafi has been on the books of Arsenal since 2016, and although he has done well on occasions, the Germany international is not one of the best central defenders in Europe. Barcelona are one of the biggest clubs in the world, and links between the Spanish and European giants and Mustafi come as a huge shock.
According to , Mustafi has played just 44 minutes in the Premier League and 401 minu…
Romelu Lukaku is not afraid to seek a transfer in order to find a club where he feels wanted, according to former Belgium coach Georges Leekens, who backed the striker to take a little bit of revenge by leaving Manchester United.
Inter are reportedly keen to take Lukaku to San Siro and the 26-year-old told reporters they would know something next week after United s friendly win over Perth Glory on Saturday.
Lukaku did not play against Perth but is expected to feature when the Red Devils face Leeds United on Tuesday, and Solskjaer said the club have not received any acceptable bids for the Belgium international.
Leekens said he feels Solskjaer s arrival as manager in December 2018 was the start of the end for Lukaku at United, telling The Mirror: He s a fantastic…
Frank Lampard has been sacked by Everton under a year after taking charge of the Premier League strugglers, Stats Perform understands.
Lampard was appointed as Rafael Benitez s successor on January 31, 2022, but less than 12 months later Everton are now on the search for yet another manager.
The former Chelsea boss managed to keep Everton in the top flight last season, with a dramatic 3-2 comeback over Crystal Palace in their penultimate match proving enough.
Yet Everton s struggles have carried over into this campaign and, with 20 games played, they sit 19th on 15 points following a 2-0 defeat to fellow strugglers West Ham on Saturday. They have lost eight of their last nine matches in all competitions.
Everton s next manager will be their seventh perman…
Gareth Bale s agent described suggestions he is to leave Real Madrid on loan as ridiculous and assured he will see out the remainder of his contract at the Santiago Bernabeu.
Having made just nine LaLiga starts for Madrid this season, Bale has been the subject of speculation linking him with a move back to the Premier League with Tottenham or Manchester United.
Barnett did not rule out the possibility of the Wales international leaving Madrid but emphatically dismissed the suggestion of a loan exit.
At the moment he is going to be playing football this evening for Real Madrid and he has got two and a half years left on his contract, Barnett told Sky Sports ahead of Zinedine Zidane s side taking on Unionistas de Salamanca in the Copa del Rey on Wednesday.
Tottenham will gloss over a series of jokes made at the club s expense on Twitter by new sponsor Dulux.
Spurs announced Dulux as their new official paint supplier in a Twitter post on Thursday, with the company s ambassador and emblem, an old English sheepdog, pictured in the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.
Yet news of the deal seemingly turned into something of a dog s breakfast, with Dulux s social media team taking aim at Tottenham faster than paint would dry.
Despite the tweets subsequently being deleted, there could be no whitewashing of the content, which included a suggestion that the Dulux dog would be a better option than Spurs current centre-backs, while another said the club s trophy cabinet was too dusty to paint.

Looking to pick up their first Group C victory at the second attempt on Saturday night, Argentina will meet Mexico in Lusail for what is a must-win showdown.
Argentina
Starting with Argentina, while the South American giants might have been tipped as a landslide pick to open their World Cup adventure with a flurry earlier in the week, Lionel Scaloni s side suffered what was a stunning defeat in Lusail. Eventually putting in a nightmare second-half display as they were hit with an infamous 2-1 loss at the hands of Saudi Arabia, La Albiceleste will be desperate to prove that was nothing more than a blip. Watching their remarkable 36-match unbeaten run come to an abrupt end last time out, Argentina face what is a must-win showdown on Satu…
Ousmane Dembele s agent claims Barcelona have threatened to bench the winger for the rest of the season if he does not sign a new contract.
Dembele entered the final six months of his deal on January 1, meaning he is eligible to discuss potential moves to other clubs for next season.
Barca, especially coach Xavi, have been open in their desire to see Dembele commit himself to the club, despite his time there being largely disappointing since joining from Borussia Dortmund for an initial €105million in 2017.
But reports suggest Barca have grown frustrated with the lack of movement, with Xavi previously urging Dembele to make an effort in talks.
Now, the likelihood of an agreement may have diminished even further after Dembele s agent accused Barca of re…
According to a recent report from Daily Telegraph, Zlatan Ibrahimovic has agreed to re-join AC Milan in the wake of his departure from LA Galaxy. The Swede has finished up his tenure with the Major League Soccer club, and now, he’s looking ahead to what the future may hold for him.
It always seemed likely that he would return to Italian football which is where he’s been able to make such an impact throughout his career. Of course, he’s done well pretty much wherever he’s gone, but there’s certainly a feeling that Serie A is his spiritual home.
He looks set to return to that spiritual home, aka the San Siro, with a move back to AC Milan. Zlatan is said to have rejected a move back to the Premier League where he resided with Manchester United, and will mak…
Baltimore Ravens offensive coordinator Greg Roman announced his resignation Thursday after six seasons with the team and four as its primary play-caller.
Roman said he is leaving to pursue other opportunities in a statement released by his agency, Athletes First. The 50-year-old’s job security had been a topic of speculation after the Ravens struggled to consistently produce points during the late stages of a season in which star quarterback Lamar Jackson missed the final six games with a knee injury.
After visiting with coach [John] Harbaugh and after huddling with my family, I have decided that now is the right time to move on from the Ravens so that I can explore new challenges and opportunities, Roman said.
I ll truly miss Baltimore, but at the same time …
