nottingham forest The stance on Jair Cunha is becoming clear. While several Brazilian clubs have explored a move for the defender in recent months, at least one of those approaches has been solidified. Even if he hits the wall.

The 20-year-old has become one of the most watched forest fringe players in Brazil.

Flemish Have seen him. botafogo A reunion figured out. cruise Recently another fan has emerged. Yet despite limited opportunities in England, there has been little sign that Forest are keen to let him go.

The numbers show there’s still work to do

Jair Cunha has only played 16 matches this season with 1057 minutes. These figures explain why the Brazilian club believe a loan could be possible.

according to ball radarSao Paulo became the latest club to test the waters.

The Brazilian side requested information about Jair Cunha and evaluated the possibility of a loan. However, Forest expressed no interest in a deal under those terms.

As a result, discussions never progressed and São Paulo moved on to other defensive targets.

That detail is the most interesting development here. Previous reports focused only on Brazilian clubs. This time his effort gave an indication of Forrest’s position.

Reference to Youngster

Jair Cunha barely featured in the first half of the campaign, but injuries, rotation and Nottingham Forest’s deep Europa League run opened the door for him. As the fixtures piled up, Vitor Pereira turned to the Brazilian as a squad option.

Forest’s pressure on several fronts gave Jair Cunha an unexpected opportunity. With the club’s Premier League and Europa League commitments, the young defender moved from the team’s fringes to a useful rotation piece during the busiest period of the season.

The Brazilian did not even see many minutes in the beginning. However, Forest’s busy schedule and lengthy Europa League trip created opportunities, allowing Jair Cunha to establish himself as a reliable depth option for several weeks. And this was his wish All the time.

what happens next

Forest paid around £10.3m (€12m) to sign Jair Cunha from Botafogo after the Club World Cup. Given that investment and his age profile, it wouldn’t be surprising if the club still view him as a long-term project rather than a player who can move quickly.

Brazilian clubs line up. However, Forrest appears to be much less willing than many of them to open the door.

Faced competition from FC Porto leeds united To sign Mauro Jr. from PSV Eindhoven this summer.

Mauro joined the Eredivisie winners from Desportivo Brasil in 2017 and has been with the first team since 2019.

Operating primarily as a left-back and occasionally as a defensive midfielder, he scored one goal and 11 assists in 37 appearances this season.

The left-back’s performances have drawn attention from a number of clubs, including Leeds United and Porto.

Leeds United have already made contact

football international There is a report of interest from both the Whites and FC Porto and PSV Eindhoven’s plans to prevent a summer exit.

The Brazilian, who won the Eredivisie four times, has become a fan favorite at the Philips Stadium. His time there may be coming to an end as Daniel Farke’s side and others come into the picture.

He has a release clause with a ‘limited transfer fee’, with VI not mentioning the figure. FC Porto and Leeds United are aware of this.

The Premier League side are ‘already actively enquiring’ about the versatile player with his representatives. They will have to overcome the Dragons and other clubs to bring the 27-year-old to Elland Road.

PSV will not be able to prevent the South American from exiting if one of his supporters triggers his condition. To avoid this possibility, the Eindhoven club wants to offer him a new contract and remove this clause. It is unclear what plans Mauro Jr. has for his future.

Porto could be tempted by European football

FC Porto and PSV Eindhoven both qualified for the Champions League after winning their respective league titles.

The Dragons could use this to lure the fullback away from English clubs who cannot offer European football after finishing 14th.

This season Daniel Farke had two left-backs in Gabriel Gudmundsson and Sam Byram. The latter contract expires in June.

Leeds United sent Isaac Schmidt on loan to Werder Bremen, who decide against his staying Permanent. The English club will have to decide whether to fire him next season or keep him as Gudmundsson’s backup.

If Schmidt were to leave, Mauro Jr. could be an option to replace him. transfer market The Brazilian is valued at €18 million with a contract until 2029.

championship Clubs are starting to take care of the former wolverhampton And tottenham The coach has quietly built up a strong reputation as a manager in Portugal over the past two seasons.

Scottish coach Ian Cathro has transformed Estoril into one of the more organized teams outside Portugal’s traditional top clubs. Despite working with a much smaller budget than Benfica, Sporting or Porto, they finished in the top ten in each of the last two campaigns.

His team earned praise for their attacking football and structured pressing this season. Estoril has also developed youth players very well, something Championship clubs often value highly when considering managerial appointments.

Cathro has fans in England

According to a Portuguese newspaper, that work is now attracting the attention of England game. The report adds that Ian Cathro has already been contacted by Championship clubs.

He is still best known for his spells with Nuno Espirito Santo at both Wolverhampton and Tottenham Hotspur. He worked as part of Nuno’s coaching staff in the Premier League before taking the Estoril job in 2023.

At the time, his appointment raised eyebrows in Portugal. Cathro’s previous experience as a manager at Hearts had ended badly, and there were doubts about whether another senior role would be available quickly. Instead, he has steadily rebuilt his reputation in Estoril. after a tough start.

Furthermore, it was under Cathro that Estoril completed three of the five biggest sales in club history, earning approximately £17m (€20m). For a club of Estoril’s size, that income is significant and has strengthened its position internally.

Working for peace is bearing fruit in Portugal

O Jogo points out that Cathro will remain under contract until 2028, meaning any move would require agreement with Estoril’s hierarchy. If English interest becomes more solid in the coming weeks it could complicate things.

Nevertheless, the report states that Cathro’s current preference is to remain at Estoril. The coach is expected to meet with club officials soon to review the season and discuss ambitions for 2026/27.

However, his background naturally makes him an interesting option for Championship clubs. He knows English football, understands the demands of big clubs and already has Premier League experience through Wolves and Tottenham.

It remains to be seen whether the approaches can become formal negotiations. However, after two impressive years at Estoril, England are clearly watching closely again.

While the 2025 season was a great one for the Indianapolis Colts, not so much for quarterback Anthony Richardson. A raw talent who needed more experience in the game, he didn’t even get a chance to touch the field while dealing with a broken orbital bone during pregame warmups.

It was a crushing blow not only for the former first-round pick, but also for the Colts, who have not indicated they are ready to part with the 23-year-old. But after declining to pick up Richardson’s fifth-year contract option, it’s clear the Colts are not ready to commit further to the No. 4 pick in the 2023 NFL Draft.

Recently, the Colts have been open to trading the cannon-armed, dual-threat QB. Those discussions were expected to heat up during the 2026 NFL Draft, when teams realized they wouldn’t be able to land the QB prospect they wanted. Yet, here we are, two weeks after the draft, and Richardson is still a member of the Colts.

Now, ESPN’s NFL insider Adam Schefter has indicated that the team is not eager to move on from Richardson, and a trade could happen later in training camp or even during the season if another team’s QB suffers an injury.

We’ve seen teams take this approach before. With how often injuries can occur, and how quickly they can derail a season, there’s always the possibility that the Colts could benefit from another franchise’s downfall later on. For now, they have a backup QB with star potential, who could also help Indianapolis as Daniel Jones works his way back from a torn Achilles.

Feyenoord manager Robin van Persie has indicated that he will take inspiration from armory Boss Mikel Arteta looks to inspire his players, although he cannot directly copy his methods.

1908.nl report comments Today from the Feyenoord boss. He was asked directly about the methods of his former Arsenal teammates, and whether he would use them himself.

Arteta’s methods at Arsenal

Mikel Arteta has established himself as an out-of-the-box thinker when it comes to methods of motivation at Arsenal.

Spanish coaches have often turned to unconventional methods over the years to prepare their players for games.

The Arsenal boss played Liverpool’s famous anthem, You’ll Never Walk Alone, over the speakers during training to prepare the players for the Anfield atmosphere.

There was also a moment when he used a lightbulb to emphasize to his players how, like a bulb, players must be ‘connected’ to shine. Reports in England this month said Arteta had also begun using TikTok edits on screen to boost Arsenal’s morale and energy before matches.

Van Persie was asked whether he would use such methods at Feyenoord in the final weeks of the season. He admits that he knows about them but won’t go too far.

“With the TikTok video, okay? I saw her passing by. She played the TikTok video on a very big screen,” he said.

“Of course, you try to pull out all the stops to get to the guy and give him the final push. This can be done in a number of ways. I don’t have such a big screen in a 1908, so it wouldn’t work anyway.

“We’ve trained with the voice of a future opponent before. That was last season. We do things like that sometimes.”

Support for Arsenal teammates

Unlike those who are happy to mock Mikel Arteta’s traditional methods, Van Persie is taking a different approach.

He can see what his former Arsenal teammate is trying to do; Connect with your players before the game.

He added, “I once saw a video of Mikael holding light bulbs together, which showed that everyone is connected.”

“I haven’t done that yet, but the message is pretty much the same. Ultimately, you try to touch the guys. Especially right before a match, you want to share a story or show some footage and things like that. We do that.”

Sunderland Added Nilsson Angulo and Jocelyn Ta B to their team to improve their attack in the winter market.

Before Angulo’s arrival at the Stadium of Light from Anderlecht, Sunderland looked at CA Osasuna’s Victor Munoz.

In fact, the Black Cats made several bids to convince the La Liga side to approve the sale of the left winger.

The Premier League side initially offered €20m and increased this to €25m, along with Eliezer Mayenda on loan.

14 February, Osasuna Sports director Braulio Vazquez said His side did not listen to Sunderland’s attempts to sign Munoz. At the end of that month, official disclosure The player also did not want to leave Osasuna for Regis Le Bris’s team in January.

Sunderland still look keen

Friday edition of As Pointing again to Sunderland’s €25m offer which clearly failed to convince CA Osasuna.

The Black Cats couldn’t match his €40m release clause, but it looks like they’re not ready to give up just yet.

That’s because the newspaper says a number of Premier League teams are keeping an eye on him and Sunderland have been mentioned.

It has been claimed that Regis Le Bris’ side are the latest club to show interest in Victor Munoz, indicating that they have revived their interest.

Either way, the English club still need to offer €40m to activate his clause, and without that there will be no deal.

Osasuna sporting director Braulio Vazquez again made it abundantly clear and AS released his comments.

“We are not listening, we are stuck on the stream,” He said.

Real Madrid buyback clause

The La Liga side signed Victor Munoz from Real Madrid for €8m in July 2025. Los Blancos retained the buyback option and 50% sell-on clause.

“Real Madrid have a three-year buy-back option that has already been agreed. What we are doing is enjoying Victor until the end of the season.” Vazquez explained.

“Many people criticized us for signing such a young player with so few minutes in La Liga. Now they are asking us why we didn’t buy him outright. We accepted the conditions set by Real Madrid. Victor made the right decision by coming here and so did we.”

Our view: Sunderland need €40m to sign

Osasuna will not consider any offer less than €40m for Victor Munoz.

Therefore, the Black Cats have no option but to pay the figure and convince him to secure his services.

The attacker scored six goals and five assists in 34 appearances this season.

chelsea Barcelona could have an easier route to signing Marc Casado in the summer transfer window.

The Blues were one of the clubs who tried to sign the midfielder last summer.

In July 2025, Sport Witness Covered a big report from Spain That Chelsea put pressure on him to sign him. At the time, Barcelona had set a price of €30m.

However, the 22-year-old did not want to give up on his Camp Nou career.

His decision has paid off and the table below comparing his La Liga statistics from this and last season should make it clear why.

This Season-Last Season.

• Attendance: 19-23
• Total minutes: 865-1623
• Minutes per game: 46-71
• Interceptions per game: 0.4-1.0
• Tackles per game: 0.8-1.9
• Clearance per game: 0.3-0.7
• Duels won per game: 1.8-3.6

Although he has played four fewer matches this season than last season, these statistics represent a nearly 50% drop in his total minutes.

Chelsea transfer failed last summer

Wednesday edition of game There is a report on Mark Casado’s future after this season.

The newspaper relies on reports from Cadena Ser that the Spain international wants to leave the Catalan club after this season.

He has informed those close to him about his desire to listen to interesting offers and then choose the best option.

Barcelona, ​​for their part, are considering selling the defensive midfielder in the summer. Since he is an academy graduate, his sale brought significant benefits to the Blaugrana.

Sport then gives its opinion on the matter and mentions Chelsea and Wolverhampton Wanderers.

Last summer, both clubs made concrete approaches, but the player rejected their offers to stay at the Camp Nou.

However, this did not work and now ‘opens the exit door’ to the next window. His value has declined further after a disappointing season.

The Spaniard has changed agents and is now represented by Jorge Mendes, who also has Chelsea’s Pedro Neto on his client list.

His agent will ‘definitely find him a new club’ and it remains to be seen whether it is Chelsea or another club.

Our View: Why the Blues on Wolves

Wolves are now bottom of the table and look set for relegation. Marc Casado will not want to move to the Championship, leaving an easy way for Chelsea to sign him.

This, coupled with the drop in price and the involvement of Jorge Mendes will make it relatively easy for Liam Rosenior’s side.

crystal Palace Will return to action this week as they face Fiorentina in the UEFA Conference League on Thursday.

sports witness It shows how the fans of the Italian club are excited about the game. They view the clash as arguably the biggest game for their team in recent years and the Eagles have even allocated extra tickets for La Viola loyalists.

There is growing discussion in Italy, particularly with Fiorentina battling relegation problems throughout the campaign.

Despite this, the Italian side could spring a surprise for Crystal Palace through selection. They will have to deal with a number of injury concerns, but they could field a much-changed eleven this weekend.

David de Gea wants to liberate England

Corriere dello sport report David De Gea has not played in the Conference League for La Viola this season. Oliver Christensen has been more involved, with the Spaniard having featured more regularly in Serie A. For the clash against Crystal Palace, De Gea is likely to start.

He last played a game in English football 1000 days ago during his time at Manchester United. The newspaper also sees the Eagles game as an attempt at redemption, with De Gea having played against them 19 times in the past.

Moise Kean can also start. He has a slight calf problem but is trying to perform in London.

The striker has played only 259 minutes in the Conference League. He started the last game against Rakao but Paolo Vanoli has used him consistently in Serie A. This situation mirrors that of De Gea, with both key players set to start against Crystal Palace.

However, Fiorentina have left out Niccolo Fortini, Fabiano Parisi and Manor Solomon and that is a blow.

Our Opinion: Mindset Can Determine Everything

Praising De Gea, Corriere dello Sport indicated that Fiorentina’s focus this season has been on avoiding relegation. Even sporting director Fabio Paratici has a similar mentality, with the January signings reflecting that intention.

This could prove important for Crystal Palace, who have not played any match since March 19.

Fiorentina have been in good form over the past month and have an excellent record in the Conference League. But it really depends on which version comes out on Thursday. At times he has appeared careless in his approach.

burnley Barcelona have failed in their transfer attempt to bring goalkeeper Joan Garcia to the Premier League.

The Spain international arrived at the Camp Nou from Espanyol in June 2025 for €25m.

Burnley boss Alan Pace also owns Espanyol from October 2025 and had tried to sign Garcia for the Clarets before taking charge.

James was number 1 at Trafford Turf Moor and starred for the Clarets last season. He played a key role in Burnley’s promotion to the Premier League.

His excellent performances allowed him to return to Manchester City in July 2025, with Gianluigi Donnarumma at the helm.

Following the Trafford exit Burnley looked for a new stopper and eventually signed Martin Dubravka on a free transfer.

Burnley wanted the Barcelona star

Before joining Barcelona last summer, Joan Garcia attracted interest from Newcastle United.

At the beginning of the season, Sport Witness Covered claims from Spain That he was tempted to join the Magpies.

Eddie Howe’s side were not the only team to miss out on the 24-year-old as Burnley also wanted him.

This is as of Tuesday’s edition sports worldAnd their headline said ‘Alan Pace wants Joan Garcia for Burnley’.

In the report, the newspaper says the Clarets owner made an approach for Garcia last summer. At the time, the American did not own Espanyol. Paes took this step after James Trafford was out.

Garica choosing Barca over Burnley is no surprise

There is no mention in the newspaper as to why the deal did not go through and who rejected Burnley.

Whatever the reason, it should come as no surprise that the appeal of joining Barcelona is far greater than that of Scott Parker’s team.

Joan Garcia has been No. 1 under Hansi Flick, replacing Marc-Andre ter Stegen at the Camp Nou.

He started in 37 matches for the La Liga winners this season, keeping 15 clean sheets and conceding 36 goals. The Spaniard is competing for the league and the Champions League, which would not have been possible at Burnley.

The Clarets are 19th in the Premier League table, 10 points behind 17th-placed Tottenham Hotspur. Martin Dubravka, who has been Burnley’s No. 1 this season, has four clean sheets and conceded 61 goals in 31 league matches.

TeaThe managerial situation at Ottenham Hotspur is soon back in uncertainty. Igor Tudor’s tenure only lasted a few days, and Spurs are looking for direction again while trying to avoid relegation trouble.

The urgency surrounding the club has led to extensive scrutiny of potential managers. Names have come forward from across Europe and beyond. Among them, Palmeiras boss Abel Ferreira has been pushed back into talks.

However, reports from Brazil now offer two completely different versions of events.

Conflicting views from Brazil

Latest claims of journalist this week diego firmino There are suggestions that Tottenham have renewed their interest in Abel Ferreira following Tudor’s exit.

The report adds that Spurs have launched a new investigation to understand the coach’s current situation, although no formal proposal has been submitted.

That version paints a picture of an active search.

espn brazilHowever, provide important context that changes the story significantly.

According to his information, Tottenham have no longer had contact with Abel Ferreira. This took place in February, before Tudor’s appointment. In that state, As we covered at the timeSpurs were already looking for emergency options as pressure loomed around their season.

This proposal was short-lived. Tottenham wanted to know whether Abel would be willing to take charge until the end of the European season, effectively a contract of around four months.

Abel’s representatives rejected the idea outright. Negotiations never started, financial terms were never discussed and the approach never even reached Palmeiras. Importantly, ESPN says there have been no new contacts since then.

The context behind the rejection

When we look at Abel Ferreira’s current situation, his stance becomes clear.

He is under contract at Palmeiras until December 2027 and remains the centerpiece of a stable, long-term project. Brazilian clubs continue to compete at the top level domestically and in South America, offering conditions that are difficult to match in a short-term European role.

Their salary is another factor. Abel earns around €650,000 (£560,000) per month, placing him among the highest-paid managers outside Europe’s elite. That level of income reduces the appeal of temporary opportunities abroad.

More importantly, their career decisions are not driven solely by finances. Abel emphasizes structure, planning, and organizational stability. Tottenham, in their current state, do not provide that environment.

A four-month contract, in the midst of a demotion battle, offers little alignment with his priorities.

What’s next for Tottenham?

Tottenham are now expected to move in a different direction. Roberto De Zerbi is widely seen as the leading option as Spurs consider a long-term appointment.

Against that backdrop, Abel Ferreira’s renewed links appear to stem from recycled information rather than fresh developments. A report suggests a new investigation. Another explained that the only contact came earlier in the season and was immediately rejected.

He discovered Abel Ferreira as a possible solution. He was rejected without hesitation. Since then, there has been no clear indication that they have returned with any new approach.

As Spurs look to stabilize both on and off the pitch, their next move is likely to reflect that reality rather than looking at the door firmly closed again.

Tottenham Hotspur plan to compete with Newcastle United for RC Lens goalkeeper Robin Riser.

Both Tottenham and Newcastle United are looking for new stoppers in the summer and Risser is also on their list.

The Ligue 1 side signed him from RC Strasbourg in July 2021, and the goalkeeper has been their No. 1 this season.

He has kept 11 clean sheets and conceded 27 goals in 29 matches in all competitions and 26 in the league. Below are his statistics from Ligue 1 with Lens.

• Goals conceded per game: 09
• Penalties saved: 2/5
• Shots on target: 84
• Saves: 64
• Saving Percentage: 74.4%
• Goals Prevented: 6.46

Spurs and Magpies keen on signing

The 21-year-old’s form for Lens has already attracted interest from Newcastle United and now Tottenham have also joined the race. is according to young footballerWho make it clear that this is their own information about Robin Riser.

Tottenham have Guglielmo Vicario as the No. 1, with Antonin Kinski and Brandon Austin as his backups.

Igor Tudor started Kinski in Spurs’ 5-2 Champions League defeat to Atletico Madrid last week and replaced him after 17 minutes. The 23-year-old Czech could leave the north London club after this season.

Inter Milan are working on signing Vicario from Tottenham and their sporting director Piero Ausilio has flown to London. On Thursday, Sports Witness broadcast news Ausilio’s visit is to accelerate transfer talks with the north London club.

Jeunes Fauteux took note of Vicario’s situation and said that Spurs are ‘no longer hiding their intentions’ of needing a new stopper. This has seen him focus his attention on the riser, and Tudor’s side have made solid inquiries despite ‘stiff competition’ from the Magpies.

Robin Riser’s contract, value and agent information

The France U21 international is under contract until 2030. its value, according to transfer marketThe deal in June 2025 was €1.5 million. Since moving to Lens, it has grown significantly and is now worth €10 million.

However, the Ligue 1 side would require a much higher fee than that to part ways with him in the summer as the game witnesses Covered Claims Yesterday Lens set a price of €30-40m.

Carmenta, headed by French agent Joseph Mohan, represents the goalkeeper, and the representative has 16 clients. However, none of them are currently in the UK.

Southampton’s Leo Scienza is on the radar of several clubs, including in the Premier League.

The Brazilian moved to Germany when Schalke signed him from Swedish side Fanna BK in September 2020.

He had stints in Germany with 1. FC Magdeburg, SSV Ulm and 1. FC Heidenheim. The latter sold him to Southampton for €10m late last summer, a year after signing him.

The winger has performed brilliantly for the Saints, scoring six goals and providing eight assists in 30 Championship matches.

He has the third-highest number of assists in the second division in England, behind Stoke City’s Sorba Thomas, Bristol City’s Anis Mehmeti and Sheffield United’s Gustavo Hammer. [10 assists].

Scienza has created 19 big chances this season, makes 1.7 key passes per game, and has an xG of 4.72 and xA of 6.77.

Growing interest in Southampton player

sky germany There is a report on what could happen with the 27-year-old’s future after this season.

Many clubs have taken notice of his performance. This includes teams from the Premier League, Spain, Italy and even Brazil.

The report makes no mention of his details, but it is reported that clubs from these four countries have made approaches. It is unclear whether he contacted the Championship side, his agent or both.

Southampton could favor a sale in the summer as they are demanding ‘at least €20m’.

Promotion key to Scienza’s future

Tonda Eckert’s side are now seventh in the table, three points behind sixth-placed Wrexham.

Two months ago, the South American expressed his desire to make it to the Premier League. with southampton.

He Said: : “By the will of God, everything worked out here and we got promoted to the Premier League with the team. It would be crazy. It would be the pinnacle of my career so far. I hope things keep getting better.”

Scienza’s Premier League contenders will have an edge over the others if Southampton fail to return to the top flight. There will be more clarity on his future at the end of this season.

transfer market Scienza is now valued at €10 million, with a contract until 2028. The Saints want it to at least double in the summer to part with him.

On Monday evening, the Los Angeles Clippers picked up one of their most impressive wins of the season with a comfortable home win over the New York Knicks. The Clippers were led by Kawhi Leonard, who scored an impressive 29 points with seven rebounds and eight assists.

The Clippers are currently in eighth place in the Western Conference, although it will be difficult for them to overtake them, as the Phoenix Suns are five games ahead of them in seventh.

Recently, former NBA wing Chandler Parsons appeared on FanDuel’s “Run It Back” show and explained why he still sees Los Angeles as a playoff threat.

“The Clippers have so much talent, depth and experience that it’s a nightmare for what they get,” Parsons said, according to Run It Back on

“This team was built to win now this summer,” he said. “They were an old team, they’re an experienced team, and at the deadline, they lost a lot of talent that can probably help you win right now, but now they also have pieces for the future to look forward to.”

In fact, the Clippers surprised many at the recent trade deadline by sending James Harden to the Cleveland Cavaliers and bringing back Darius Garland in return. Garland has started to find form in his new Clippers threads, scoring 23 points in a 126-118 win over the Knicks on Monday.

Through it all, Leonard is playing arguably the best basketball of his career, and continues to be a threat on both ends of the floor, and no team will want to match him up come playoff time.

In any case, the Clippers will next take the field on Wednesday evening for a home game against the Minnesota Timberwolves. Tipoff is scheduled for 10:30 PM ET.

Everton’s window to sign Eden Zhegrova from Juventus looks to be wide openThe Italian club are ‘considering selling’ the winger.

This is according to Calciomercato, Which covers the age of 26 years today. The Italian outlet reports that Zegrova has been one of Juventus’ biggest disappointments of the season. He is one of three important signings that did not work out.

The Italian giants had high expectations from him but no goals and no assists in 20 games was not what they wanted.

Although Zhegrova has shown promise at times, there have been more negatives than positives. Now Juventus is thinking of selling him.

juventus wants to sell

The people in charge do not consider the former Lille player to be key to their plans. Instead, they will evaluate potential proposals with the goal of avoiding capital loss. To do this the Italians need to bring in at least €11.4m.

Zhegrova currently costs Juventus an annual amortization of €2.86m, after paying €14.3m for him last summer. Hence the figure of €11.3m for this summer.

Then there’s his contract. He currently earns €4.6 million per season until 2030. This is approximately £80,000 per week. Any team interested in him would have to guarantee the same amount.

There is no concrete interest at this point. Everton have shown interest in the January transfer window but have only made ‘very timid’ inquiries at this point.

Everton have doubts

This follows various reports in January regarding interest from Everton. A report four days ago said about Juventus Now let’s consider the Toffees’ bid. A second report today said Originally the move was being made to Hill Dickinson.

The question is whether Everton need him. €11.4 million or thereabouts would certainly be attractive, even though David Moyes will reportedly have plenty of money to spend this summer.

But they already have Iliman Ndiaye and Tyler Debling and will likely also make permanent deals for Tyrick George and Jack Grealish. If that’s the case, then wings don’t seem to be a priority for spending money on.

Perhaps that is why all approaches have been timid and nothing more. It remains to be seen whether this changes in the coming months. This is an inexpensive option if toffee is desired.

Alisson’s long-term future at Liverpool has been questioned in recent weeks.

sports witness The Italian has covered claims from Juventus about interest in bringing him back to Serie A in the summer.

There are concerns over Michele Di Gregorio’s performances this season, as the Italian has made high-profile mistakes. This leads to the Bianconeri being considered an established goalkeeper, with the Liverpool star interested.

Luciano Spalletti knows the former Roma player from his time together in the Italian capital. He would be willing to coach them once again.

Juve’s task is unlikely to be easy. The Reds could offer specific challenges as part of the deal. Initially, there was confidence in Turin that the transfer would be relatively easy, but this belief has begun to meet with a harsh reality.

Liverpool wants the goalkeeper to honor the contract

Journalist Franco Leonetti has talked about the situation in Brazil. He also mentioned Juventus’ interest in the 33-year-old but clarified the Reds’ stance on the matter.

With Alisson’s contract expiring in 2027, Liverpool are expected to honor the deal.

Leonetti told Radio Bianconera – Go tuttomerkatoweb: : “It makes sense that Juventus are looking for a goalkeeper with international experience. It is too early to say whether it will be Oblak, Alisson or someone else.”

Specifically on Alison, he said: “With regard to Alisson, the English club are saying that they would like to honor his contract until June 2027.”

This may force the older woman to pay a higher amount than expected. It has been suggested that the intermediaries around Alisson are trying to broker his exit but Liverpool themselves are posing a challenge.

Our opinion on Alisson’s Liverpool future

This approach from Liverpool could be a positive one if it is genuine and not a bargaining chip. Alisson is still at the age where goalkeepers can make an impact and he still does so consistently.

As far as Arne Slot and the vast majority of fans are concerned, Giorgi Mamardashvili is still behind the Brazil international in the pecking order. Even if he is the long-term successor, he will learn only by spending another season around Alisson.

At a time when the team is going through a gradual transition, having an experienced campaigner like Alisson could prove to be very important.

Tottenham Hotspur’s Luka Vuckovic could be heading to La Liga as Barcelona are keeping an eye on him for the summer.

is according to sky germanyWho report that Barcelona have the Tottenham player on their target list for next season.

Manager of the La Liga winners Hansi Flick is looking for a centre-back after this season. Sky says ‘one thing is clear’… that Barca will bring a new defender to Camp Nou.

The Catalan club have a number of names on their list, including Vuckovic, who signed for Tottenham from Hajduk Split last summer.

Thomas Frank, who was in charge of the north London club at the time, left the 19-year-old out of his main plans this season. Therefore, Spurs let him join Hamburg SV on a season-long loan deal.

Barcelona approached for Tottenham man

The Croatia international has played 2,100 minutes in 23 matches in all competitions for the Bundesliga team. His performances for Hamburg did not go unnoticed.

Earlier this season, Sport Witness Covered claims from Germany As a substitute for the Barcelona defender after this season.

Sky have now looked at him and report that the Spanish giants have had ‘first talks’ with the player’s agent who is owned by Tottenham.

Hamburg dream of keeping the Spurs defender

Vuckovic has repeatedly expressed his desire to extend his stay with the German club beyond this season. His brother, Mario, is also in Hamburg and serving a doping ban until November.

Luca’s dream is to play with his brother and he can achieve it with Hamburg next season. Marilyn Polzin, his manager, recently talked about his wish To retain the youth. hamburg Sports Director Klaus Costa The possibility of retaining them has also been discussed.

Sky again released his comments and talked about Hamburg’s dream of having Vuckovic join the club next season.

However, the report adds that the German club’s ‘options are limited’. The main reason for this is the increasing interest from clubs whose financial situation is better than that of Hamburg. This will make it difficult for them to fulfill their dream.

Our opinion on Vuckovic’s future

Tottenham parted ways with Frank and appointed Igor Tudor at the end of the season.

They will have to appoint a new permanent manager, which will have a huge impact on Vuckovic’s future next season.

If the Croatian player decides to leave Spurs, he will not be short of options, either on loan or on a permanent transfer.

As things stand, the player will return to the Premier League team following his loan spell in Hamburg.

on tuesday, sports witness Gazzetta dello Sport covered a report on Arsenal’s inquiry for Inter Milan’s Francesco Pio Esposito. In the past, there has also been interest from Manchester United mentioned.

This week, Italy’s Pink daily said the London club were impressed by the 20-year-old during the recent Champions League meeting between the two sides. This led Mikel Arteta to inform Andrea Burta of his interest.

As a result, Arsenal’s sporting director spoke to Inter counterpart Piero Ausilio. With the door slammed in the Gunners’ faces, the striker was seen as the future of the Nerazzurri.

This was no surprise, with reports also suggesting Inter’s efforts to hand Pio Esposito a new contract.

The Serie A league leaders take on Como in the Coppa Italia semi-finals last night. The game ended in a 0–0 draw but Inter CEO Beppe Marotta was asked about Arsenal’s interest in the young striker.

Arsenal interest rejected

The Italian largely echoed what Gazzetta claimed on Tuesday, making it clear that Pio Esposito is the future of Inter.

Marotta also quickly rejected Arsenal’s interest.

He told Mediaset – relayed by transfer market: “Arsenal haven’t asked us. Inter do not want to sell him and they are not a club that buys and sells players.

“He is one of our treasures who has grown up in the youth area. A possible transfer will be discussed again in the distant future“

Furthermore, Calciomercato has also added some details regarding Manchester United’s interest in the 20-year-old player.

He is sure the Red Devils made an inquiry about the player around 12 months ago. He was then on loan at Spezia and was expected to return to Inter. It is believed that Arsenal also tried to open negotiations at that time.

Nevertheless, the San Siro club was very clear in its stance. Now, the CM reports that he will be signing a new contract which will expire in 2030.

This is a great sign of confidence from Inter, who see him as their future superstar. While Pio Esposito’s current valuation is around €60m, he is seen as an invaluable asset by the Nerazzurri.

Manchester United and Arsenal do not need Esposito

While the Italy international is one of the best youngsters in Europe, the two English clubs probably don’t need him.

Manchester United have seen Benjamin Cesco enjoy top form over the past few weeks. Arsenal spent big money on Victor Gyöckeres last summer. There is no point spending big on another striker unless something unexpected happens.

That’s why Inter is the best place for Pio Esposito to develop. The Serie A league leaders boast stability and this helps each player get the most out of it.

Leicester City are set to sign Arsene Kouassi from FC Lorient.

is according to Africa FootWho reports that Leicester City are battling Lyon and Eintracht Frankfurt for the signature of the 21-year-old.

Kouassi graduated from lower division French club AC Ajaccio and spent two years with their first team before joining FC Lorient in July 2025.

The left-back has cemented his place in the Ligue 1 team as he has played 1,903 minutes in 23 matches. He has operated primarily as a left wing-back and has provided two goals and five assists so far.

His performances are already attracting interest from Leicester City, Lyon and Eintracht Frankfurt.

Following AFC Bournemouth, the Foxes are the latest English club to be seen on the Burkina Faso international stage. Two months ago, Sports Witness broadcast news The Cherries have him on their target list, mainly for next season.

Leicester City is battling 2 teams

His rapid rise, profile and potential at FC Lorient would have caught the attention of scouts from many teams. Africa Foot has made no mention of Andoni Ierola’s team and are focusing on Leicester City, Lyon and the Bundesliga side.

A source close to the matter has informed the outlet that the Championship side, Ligue 1 club and Eintracht Frankfurt have all made ‘concrete enquiries’.

The approach was made to ascertain Kouassi’s contract situation and the conditions required to move him away from FC Lorient.

There is no mention of these conditions in the report. However, they state Gary Rowett’s side and two other clubs have held informal talks with his agent.

Foxes face tough competition

Leicester City plan to bring players with ‘high release potential’ to the King Power Stadium, claims Africa Foot, and that’s why the Foxes are keeping an eye on Kouassi.

Rowett’s side now sit 22nd in the championship, with Lyon and Eintracht Frankfurt at the top.

This would give the latter two players an edge over Leicester City in the race for fullback. Therefore, the Foxes will have to find a way to lure Kouassi and convince FC Lorient to secure his services.

Celtic goalkeeper Kasper Schmeichel has had mixed performances at Celtic Park in recent weeks. However, Martin O’Neill has continued to start him in both the league and the Europa League.

The Denmark international joined Celtic on a free transfer in July 2024 and impressed in his debut season. He kept 24 clean sheets in all competitions for the Bhoys and conceded 47 goals in 49 matches.

His statistics this season are not as impressive as before. To give context, the stopper has kept 14 clean sheets and conceded 49 goals in 39 matches so far. The 39-year-old has maintained only three clean sheets in 11 matches this calendar year.

campo Now claims Schmeichel is ‘going through a tough time’ with O’Neill’s side, which has clearly not gone unnoticed in his country.

The Celtic player has been the number 1 for the national team in past years. Since June 2024, he only missed the friendly win over Northern Ireland last summer as manager Brian Reimer started Filip Jorgensen ahead of him. That was the Chelsea player’s only appearance for Denmark.

Reimer’s warning to Celtic player

Earlier this month, Sport Witness Danish claims covered This shows that Reimer does not dare to remove the former Leicester City star.

ViaPlay spoke to the stopper regarding his situation and Campo shared his comments. The national team manager has now issued a warning to the Celtic man.

“I look at putting together the best team, and I always do that. How I do that is by looking at the players and their performances. And looking at the composition of the group that is going to play,” He said.

“Nobody is guaranteed a permanent place in the Danish national team. This applies to Schmeichel, Pierre-Emile Højbjerg and Rasmus Højlund.”

NT manager’s message to Celtic man’s critics

On 9 February, Game Witness cover danish take It is ‘absolute madness’ that West Ham United’s Mads Hermansson or Jorgensen were not given opportunities. On Monday, we relayed more claims That Schmeichel is no longer ‘good enough’ for the national team.

Despite repeated criticism, Reimer has now sent a message to Schmeichel’s critics.

“I follow my heart, and that doesn’t mean I do what everyone wants me to do, but I listen to my heart and go out to the team that feels right to me. No one is guaranteed a spot, no matter what position they play or who they are,” Reimer explained.

Denmark will face North Macedonia in the World Cup playoffs in March. If Schmeichel fails to impress at Celtic in the coming weeks the debate about his position could intensify.

CD Guadalajara’s Armando Gonzalez has ended up on the transfer radar of Celtic and West Ham United. Martin O’Neill’s side and the Hammers will have to battle Barcelona to secure his services.

sports witness Recently covered claims from Mexico With Celtic, West Ham and Barcelona interested in signing the 22-year-old.

The report mentions contact with his agent, without specifying whether, on O’Neill’s behalf, West Ham or Barça have initiated talks with their representatives.

Celtic and West Ham’s approach is not solid

you can Relay the claims made by Celtic, Nuno Espirito Santo’s side and La Liga winners elsewhere in Mexico and then cover the latest on Gonzalez.

Mexico International had the opportunity to switch to CKSA Moscow in the winter market. According to the report, the Russian club had deposited 20 million dollars [€16.9m] Bid for CD Guadalajara.

However, the move did not take shape as the forward turned it down to remain at CD Guadalajara. He did this with the intention of improving his chances of making it to the World Cup.

Feyenoord to challenge Celtic and West Ham

TUDN points to recent claims of offers from Celtic, Premier League side and Barça and insists that ‘none of these offers were concrete’.

O’Neill’s side, West Ham and the Spanish giants will have to be wary of competition from Feyenoord.

Journalist Eric López now says the Eredivisie side are the only club to have contacted CD Guadalajara for González.

As things stand, neither Celtic, West Ham or Barcelona have approached the Mexican club about a deal for their top scorer. Feyenoord made an attempt but it is unclear whether they will move to acquire the player’s signature in the summer.

The Celtic and West Ham goaltender has 17 goals and one assist in 24 matches in all competitions this season.

Two months ago, Mexican Club renewed His contract is till 2029. This will put them in a comfortable position to negotiate their potential sale.

OKLAHOMA CITY – Oklahoma City Thunder head coach Mark Daigneault was amazed by rookie Nikola Topic, who he says helped his team earn a 105-86 win against the Brooklyn Nets. Topic finished with nine points and two assists, shutting the door on the Nets in the final frame.

To Daigneault, Topic is one of the NBA’s rare pure point guards, he explained during his postgame media availability, as the Thunder head coach really impressed By playing in Topic’s only second game.

“There aren’t a lot of real pure point guards in basketball anymore. Incredible skill, but traditional team runners, not a ton of them, and that’s what he is: He can run your team. He’ll organize you on the floor. He understands what we’re trying to accomplish, even at this extremely early infant stage of his career, and he has the passing to go with it.

“He’s still got a long way to go. Offensively he’s got a lot to learn in terms of getting the edge, reading different coverages that he’s going to see as the league gets to know him a little bit; it’ll be a new challenge for him. But he’s off to a great start.”

Mark Daigneault says Nikola Topic is one of the few “pure point guards” left in the NBA: “There aren’t a lot of true pure point guards in basketball anymore…

And that’s what he is: He can run your team. He will settle you to the top. He understands what we’re trying to do… pic.twitter.com/tHcweGPdys

-Joshua Peacock (@Joe_Sway) 21 February 2026

Daigneault put Friday’s performance into perspective, reminding reporters that Topic is still in the early stages of his NBA career, despite the rookie’s impressive debut following an ACL injury and testicular cancer diagnosis.

Daigneault said, “This is his second NBA game. So, it would be unfair to really evaluate him in this context.” “But, he’s obviously a really good player. He has a really good feel for the game. He goes out there and treats it like it belongs to him. He shoots threes. He’s not afraid to drive.”

Subject went 4-for-6 from the floor, including 1-for-2 from deep. He also grabbed three rebounds in 11 minutes off the bench.

Nicola Topic reflects on ‘amazing’ Thunder win

In only his second game, Thunder rookie Nikola Topic helped his team clinch the win by outscoring the Nets in the final frame of a 19-point win at the Paycom Center. Jared McCain’s season-high 21 points off the bench led the Thunder in scoring. However, in his second game, Topic addressed the media in his first postgame press conference of the season.

Topic took time out to thank Thunder fans for their warm embrace during his NBA debut last week.

Topic said, “Amazing moment. I’ll remember this for the rest of my life – thanks to the fans.” “Definitely, I will remember it for the rest of my life.”

Still getting back into the swing of things Topic, who hadn’t played a basketball game in nearly two years, said it took him a while to get used to playing again.

Topic continued, “It was weird at first. I’m just getting back to the game experience again.” “I was out for a while. It was very weird coming back. I was finding myself doing things I had never done before. It was pretty hard to adjust to, but every game was better. The first game in the G League. The second game was better. The first game here was OK. The second was better. But I think it will only get better.”

The Thunder will host the Cavs on Sunday.

Tottenham Hotspur could demand around €65m for Lucas Bergvall, with moves to Liverpool and Chelsea linked.

This is according to Football Direct. Swedish newspaper covered the Tottenham midfielder Today. He also has comments from the sporting director of Djurgårdens IF, Boss Andersen, on the midfielder.

Bergvall has been impressing since leaving the Swedish side for Tottenham in a €20m deal in July 2024. Spurs defeated Barcelona with his signature at that time.

The deal for the 18-year-old was a record-breaking deal for Djurgården and also the most expensive in Allsvenskan history.

tottenham rising star

Many observers consider the 20-year-old to be one of Europe’s rising stars, and he has already proven worthy of that status at Tottenham. In fact, despite his struggles, his performance has generated interest.

Reports in England last week revealed that both Liverpool and Chelsea made inquiries for him, but they were rejected by Tottenham. Sport Witness again covered a report He insisted that Tottenham have no intention of selling the young player.

However, it seems that it has a price. According to Football Direct, Bergvall is valued at ‘more than 700 million kronor’. At the current exchange rate this is equivalent to €65.59m.

Of course, such a figure would not be an issue for Chelsea or Liverpool. The Blues have paid €65m for a player nine times, which the Reds have done seven times so far. Indeed, three arrivals at Anfield last summer cost more than that.

For Tottenham, this would be the third biggest sale after the deals that sold Gareth Bale to Real Madrid and Harry Kane to Bayern Munich. If Bergvall continues to develop like he has, they will likely demand more.

attractive tottenham section

This is all good news for Djurgårdens, who included various clauses in his deal with Spurs to get it as high as possible.

They have made approximately €15.94m of the €20m initially agreed. And Anderson is no longer surprised by getting such a huge amount.

“It’s not surprising,” he said.

“It’s clear he’s a topic of conversation for coaches at big clubs. It’s incredible to see what’s happening to him and the journey he’s been on that started at Djurgården.

“To go from Allsvenskan to the Premier League as he has done and the way he has done it – it’s great. It’s also noticeable that he is enjoying himself and enjoying himself.”

Rangers have reportedly made enquiries to Sunderland for duo Dan Neil and Romaine Mundle.

Despite playing a key role in the Black Cats’ promotion to the Premier League last season, the pair have seen their playing time limited this term.

Academy graduate Neil captained his hometown club in their Play-Off Final win over Sheffield United at Wembley in May.

However, he has only featured three times in the top-flight in the 2025/26 campaign, having been replaced by Granit Xhaka in the Sunderland midfield.

Meanwhile, after a breakthrough year in the Championship last season, winger Mundle is yet to start in the top-flight this term.

Sky Sports report that the 22-year-old is keen for more regular game time, with Sunderland open to allowing him to leave on loan this month.

As for Neil, he is said to be on the radar of some Championship clubs, and is out of contract in the summer.

Sunderland boss Regis Le Bris appeared to suggest both players could be allowed to leave in January.

When asked about the prospect of Mundle leaving, he said: “If a player won’t play too much in the second part of the season, there is the possibility for him to find another club to get minutes.”

Rangers alert to Sunderland duo

It appears Rangers are alert to Neil and Mundle’s situations, with head coach Danny Rohl prioritising recruitment in January.
