Maurizio Sarri is now in charge at Juventus. Ever since Sarri departed for Juventus at the beginning of...

Valencia Confirm Sale of Rodrigo Moreno to Leeds United

Inter are open to selling Diego Godin after just one season at the club, amid interest from Ligue 1 giants Lyon. The 34-year-old has failed to have the desired impact at San Siro after joining from Atletico Madrid this summer, even though I Nerazzurri have been title contenders for the majority of the season. The Uruguayan has featured in 25 games in all competitions - 16 of those appearances coming in Serie A - but RMC Sport claimed at the back end of last week that Lyon had approached Inter...

How Eden Hazard Showed Signs of Being Back to His Best Against Eibar

Real Madrid's victory over Eibar in many ways summed up their season so far. They showed off some of the best parts of their game - their midfield muscle had little trouble controlling proceedings, and they were clinically ruthless in front of goal. Yet their dominance was underpinned with a mental fragility that had the visitors fancying themselves as they attempted to overturn a three-goal advantage. The manner in which they finished the game would not have had Zinedine Zidane praising his...

How the Latest Coronavirus Restrictions Now Affect Premier League Fans

La Liga is back, and if not for the lack of spectators and dodgy broadcast-purpose synthetic crowd noise, you'd be forgiven for thinking it had never been gone. We've had seven games so far, and already we've seen a fiery Seville derby, seen Espanyol pick up a key win to drag Deportivo Alaves back into the mire, and we've seen Lionel Messi at his majestic best. Quick bit of housekeeping before we nosedive into the best of what is to come - bare in mind that the fluctuating broadcasting...

Mumbai City 1-1 Jamshedpur: Ten Men of Steel hold the Islanders

eira Manchester United are prepared to sell utility midfielder Andreas Pereira this summer, with a new report claiming Everton, West Ham and Newcastle are keen. The Red Devils are thought to have a number of high profile transfer targets in their sights, and will need to ensure that they're able to fund moves with the disposal of fringe players. Pereira - despite signing a new four-year deal last summer - is thought to be one of the peripheral players that Ole Gunnar Solskjaer may look to axe,...

Bayern Munich Linked With Surprise Move for West Ham's Tomas Soucek

If there's one thing in football that isn't up for debate, it's that Jack Grealish is magic. And by magic, I'm not just alluding to his precocity as a creative force on the pitch by means of some well-worn footballing cliché speak - his feats of sorcery have far surpassed that. For starters, he's lifted the curse that the English media cast on any young domestic talent who dares to step a foot out of line while still maturing. Grealish was crucial in Aston Villa's run to the 2015 FA Cup Final...

Dutch win vindicates Van Gaal's style, whether he wants it or not

ster Chelsea and Arsenal are both interested in signing forgotten Southampton goalkeeper Fraser Forster, according to a report. Forster, who is on loan at Scottish Premiership champions Celtic, is currently third in the pecking order at St Mary's - behind Alex McCarthy and Angus Gunn - and has been out of the side for almost three years, when former manager Mauricio Pellegrino axed him following a string of indifferent performances. Alex McCarthy has replaced Forster as Southampton's number one...

Coca-Cola Give Fans Chance to Win Premier League Title This Christmas

turn A lethal first half performance was enough for Real Madrid to see off Eibar, as goals from Toni Kroos, Sergio Ramos and Marcelo put them back to within two points of Barcelona. The hosts weren't messing about as this one got underway. Eibar barely sniffed the ball in the opening minutes, and just 180 seconds had passed when Kroos leaned back and curled a spectacular first-time effort into Marko Dmitrovic's top corner. What a BEAUTY from Toni Kroos! ? How about that technique from the...

Fernandes believes Europa League success can fire Manchester United to Premier League title charge next season

Celtic striker Odsonne Edouard has admitted that he's flattered by speculation linking him with a big-money Premier League move, but he's keen to keep his options open. The 22-year-old was a revelation during the 2019/20 season, scoring 28 goals in 45 appearances across all competitions before the campaign was prematurely ended because of coronavirus. The decision to end proceedings early saw Celtic awarded a ninth consecutive Scottish Premiership crown, and Edouard - despite being linked with...

Athletic Club 1-1 Atletico Madrid: Report, Ratings & Reaction as Rojiblancos Lose Ground on La Liga's Top Four

Four Atletico Madrid missed the chance to move into fourth spot in La Liga on Sunday, after being held to 1-1 draw with Athletic on their return to action. Yannick Carrasco came closest to breaking the deadlock at an empty San Mames, but his low effort squirmed just wide of the post to spare Unai Simon's blushes after a bizarre slip in goal. Jan Oblak may not have played in a while, but he showed no signs of rustiness with a flying save after 32 minutes. However, he was powerless to prevent...

Frank Lampard Has Asked Thiago Silva to Become Chelsea Club Captain

Diego Costa celebrated his equalising goal against Athletic Club on Sunday afternoon by holding aloft the number 14 shirt of Atletico Madrid Femenino star Virginia Torrecilla, who is recovering from brain surgery. In their first La Liga contest back after the three-month hiatus, Diego Simeone's side were held to a slightly disappointing 1-1 draw at San Mames, with Costa's finish levelling after Iker Muniain had opened the scoring for the hosts in the first half. The draw, incredibly, marked a...

Electoral Board kicks off County FKF nominations, verification exercise

Under normal circumstances, Edinson Cavani would not have been short of options upon leaving Paris Saint-Germain this summer. However, in the summer of coronavirus - where even Europe's biggest clubs are looking to do their transfer business on a shoestring - the Uruguayan's agent will never have had an easier gig. You can only imagine the strain on his inbox and voicemail as the summer approaches. He might be 33 years old and coming off the back of a difficult 2019/20 season which saw him net...

Luis Suarez Holds Talks With Inter Miami as Barcelona Exit Edges Closer

Kepa Arrizabalaga is under a lot of pressure. Not only does the weight of being Chelsea's starting goalkeeper come with a lot of expectation but being the world's most expensive shot stopper automatically leaves people expecting you to be... well, the best in the world. For Kepa, that pressure has been too much to handle this season. His performances have generally been nowhere near good enough, and that's got people suggesting that the Spaniard's time at Stamford Bridge could be up already....

Lionel Messi's Most Rascal Looks Throughout His Career - Ranked

Countless times throughout his 16-year career Lionel Messi has proved that he's simply not human. All those who are blessed with La Liga TV or determined to grind through 90 minutes of scrawny pixelation on a dodgy stream witnessed yet another example on Saturday night. In Barcelona's 4-0 victory over Mallorca, the GOAT churned out a display that shouldn't have been possible following a lengthy three-month lay-off. Bagging a pair of assists and a late right-footed strike, the Argentine's...

ews The Premier League is finally back after a three-month hiatus, with Aston Villa's hosting of surprise package Sheffield United one of two opening night offerings. The two sides couldn't have had more contrasting seasons if they tried, having both earned promotion from the Championship during the 2018/19 campaign.

Cesar Azpilicueta refuses to discuss Chelsea future

Barcelona will reportedly debut their new 2020/21 home kit in next month's Derbi Barceloní with Espanyol, as new leaks have emerged showing how the kit will look. Quique Setién's side resumed their season with a 4-0 victory over Mallorca on Saturday evening, hoping to kick-start some momentum to drive them towards another La Liga title.

Gavi & Ronald Araujo reject latest Barcelona contract offers

When the Premier League returns next week, fans will not be allowed into stadiums to cheer their fans on. It's going to make for very strange viewing for supporters at home (as we've already seen in Germany and Spain), but players will find it even tougher. Playing at home is always seen as an advantage, but for some sides it matters more than others. Supporters give them the extra boost they need to push on to victory, but some teams will be left searching for that extra impact elsewhere....

Alexis Sanchez Joins Inter on Permanent Transfer From Man Utd

Manchester United could be close to agreeing a new contract for midfielder Angel Gomes, despite interest from rivals Chelsea, as well as clubs on the continent. The highly rated 19-year-old attacking midfielder has found first-team opportunities hard to come by, in spite of manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's predilection for giving chances to academy players. Meanwhile, the youngster's current deal is set to expire at the end of this season. While fellow youth team graduates Mason Greenwood and...
