Shakhtar Donetsk goalkeeper Dmytro Riznik has dismissed reports linking him with a potential move leeds united.

concurrent report on goalkeeper today And comments from journalist Mykhailo Spivkovsky regarding the goalkeeper and a possible move to Elland Road this summer.

Leeds United rumors put to rest

According to the website, the journalist has reported that he recently spoke to Shakhtar goalkeeper Dmytro Riznik about a possible transfer to England during the championship celebrations.

In response, Riznik insisted he had ‘no knowledge’ about potential Leeds United talks. Moreover, only media reports made them aware. In other words, there is nothing going on behind the scenes, or the player is not telling the whole truth.

Riznik has risen to prominence this season and has established himself as one of Shakhtar’s key players. They have played 41 games in all competitions, winning 32 and keeping an impressive 22 clean sheets.

This appears to have put him on the Leeds radar. Sport Witness covered a report More reporting from Football 24 in Ukraine.

That report states that Leeds have already made a bid of €10m for the 27-year-old. It appears that Daniel Farke’s side was waiting for a reaction from both sides. Whether Riznik’s answer to the latest question can be considered one of these is debatable.

Maybe he is just playing coy so as not to cause any trouble. Or that could be all the talk at Leeds United right now.

Either way, Leeds are likely to be on the lookout for a goalkeeper this summer. Daniel Farke has rotated between Lucas Perry and Karl Darlow this season.

Neither is seen as a long-term solution. Reports insist that Illan Meslier is likely to leave Elland Road this summer too.

With Premier League football now safe, they can now start planning for the summer. Whether Dmytro Riznik is one of them remains to be seen. At the moment, it appears he just wants to know that nothing is happening.

West Ham United star Mateus Fernandes is a target for Paris Saint-Germain as Luis Campos continues to target the Portuguese talent for the Parisians.

Foot Mercato reports that P.S.G. Contact has already begun for the 21-year-old West Ham star regarding a possible move this summer.

PSG are in love with the Portuguese talent

The website reports that since Luis Campos took over at PSG, the Portuguese director has shown interest in recruiting his compatriot.

Vitinha, Gonçalo Ramos, Joao Neves and Nuno Mendes are prime examples of his transfer strategy. And, according to FM information, he is targeting another Portuguese player in West Ham’s Mateus Fernandes.

In fact, their interest has now increased to such an extent that contact has been established between the two parties.

The 21-year-old midfielder is considered a rising star, having impressed at West Ham this season after joining from Southampton last summer. Since that €44m move he has established himself as a key player for the Hammers.

Foot Mercato made no mention of how much PSG would be willing to pay for the West Ham star this summer. But he may have one factor in his favor: his relationship with Gestifute.

He currently represents Mateus Fernandes as well as several PSG stars. Vitinha, Joao Neves, Bradley Barcola, Warren Zaire-Emery and Gonçalo Ramos are all under his banner.

This means the Portuguese agency has strong links with the French giant. And, presumably, adding another customer to the list will bring a lot of joy.

However, West Ham would almost certainly block any deal. Fernandes has impressed since the summer and particularly under Nuno Espirito Santo. However, any deal will of course depend on their Premier League status.

If the Hammers avoid the drop, they will be able to resist any offer. However, relegation could lead to forced sales which PSG could take advantage of. Perhaps that’s why they have started talks now, laying the groundwork for a possible move this summer.

Jose Bordalas has played down any talks over his future amid reports of interest from Crystal Palace. He has insisted that he is “completely focused” on Getafe.

Several outlets have linked the Getafe boss with a move to Crystal Palace ahead of the summer.

Oliver Glassner is expected to leave Selhurst Park at the end of the season.

The Eagles are already looking for a replacement. But Bordalas’ latest comments send a strong message about where his focus lies right now.

“I don’t look to the future; I look to the present. My focus is entirely on the match at the Metropolitano and the team.” He told AS.

“I’m not worried about my future. Atletico is a team that always improves when it changes its team because the players on the bench are at the same level or even better.”

Why is Crystal Palace being linked to Bordalas?

Bordalas has been named as a potential Crystal Palace candidate in several reports.

A report on 16 December^th from various sourcesreported that Bordalas was the leading candidate for Crystal Palace. He is currently set to become a free agent himself as his current deal expires at that time.

From here the rumor started spreading. Bordalas are reportedly held in high regard in the Crystal Palace hierarchy.

Journalists then directly questioned Bordalas on the rumors the next day. However, he refused to say anything on the matter at that time. It is a stance he clearly maintains.

Getafe president Angel Torres publicly rejected the idea at his Christmas party, prompting Bordalás to respond.

Would Bordalas’s style work at Crystal Palace?

While Bordalas has publicly distanced himself from speculation, Palace’s interest reflects the club’s quest for a tactically disciplined, high-intensity coach – qualities the Getafe boss is known for.

The biggest question is not whether Crystal Palace appreciate Bordalas, but whether supporters will accept the dramatic stylistic change his appointment will bring.

While both like defensive tenacity, Glasner is a modern, progressive coach while critics have labeled Bordalas an ‘anti-football’ expert.

It would mean a big change for Crystal Palace this summer if they look in Bordalas’s direction following Glasner’s departure.

Now that the NFL Scouting Combine is over, the football world is back to one of the biggest topics of the offseason: Max Crosby’s status with the Las Vegas Raiders. Crosby has reportedly told the team that he will not play another snap with the team, and other reports have indicated that he has done the same with the Raiders.

While new head coach Clint Kubiak has made it known that he wants the five-time Pro Bowl pass-rusher on the team. However, the Raiders have reportedly set a price tag in a potential Crosby trade, looking for two first-round picks and a player similar to what the Cowboys got for the Micah Parsons trade. However, Crosby is two years older than Parsons.

Nevertheless, according to Albert Breyer Sports IllustratedThere may be some news soon on the Crosby trade front. Breyer says he would “probably lean toward the Crosby trade happening this week.”

Breere listed the Bears, Bills, Cowboys, Eagles, Patriots, Rams and Ravens as teams that are “keeping an eye on Crosby’s availability.” He further said that it would be “difficult” for the Raiders to get the type of trade return that the Cowboys got for Parsons a year ago.

In other words, he doesn’t think the Raiders can get two first-round picks for Crosby, but that doesn’t mean they won’t try. The Raiders should have no trouble securing a first-round selection, as well as a replacement for one of the game’s best pass-rushers, but the top two selections appear to be a stretch.

The Toronto Maple Leafs are poised to be a very busy seller this week. The trading deadline will take effect on Friday at 3pm Eastern. The pending unrestricted free agents are most likely to be gone, although the majority of the team is available at the right price.

Scott Lawton knows all about getting dealt on deadline. Exactly a year earlier, he had been acquired by Toronto from the Philadelphia Flyers. And he has made it clear that he loves every minute of playing for his hometown team.

“It’s tough sometimes. But, at the end of the day, you’re in the NHL and one of the best franchises. It’s a very enjoyable opportunity to play here and it’s a special place… I love it here,” Laughton told TSN’s Mark Masters.

But with no real progress on an extension, there’s a very real possibility that Laughton could be wearing a new uniform by the weekend. Insider Elliotte Friedman thinks the hard-working center would be ideal for a surefire Stanley Cup contender in the West.

Laughton joins the Avalanche as the deadline approaches

On Sunday’s NHL on TNT, Friedman was discussing the possibility of the Colorado Avalanche reacquiring Nazem Kadri from the Calgary Flames. He told the Crew that Kadri’s $7 million cap hit would be very difficult for them to fit into their cap structure going forward. She’ll need to get her house in order for the big kale maker extension coming in the summer. Then he called Laughton’s name.

I heard one of the centers that could end up in Colorado is Scott Lawton. I think he’ll be a great fit. It will cost more.

The 31-year-old’s five-year, $15 million contract ($3M AAV) expires at the end of the season.

Laughton was a regular double-digit goal-scorer in his last few years with the Flyers, averaging 30 to 40 points annually. However, his numbers have dwindled in Toronto on the offensive end. This year, he has found the net eight times with 12 points in 42 games.

But it’s the intangibles that Laughton brings that create value. He provides leadership on and off the ice, works hard and plays with physical intensity. A gritty, bottom-six center back that any contending team could use.

The Avalanche, in particular, are in the market for a third-row center. And this is not the first time that he has been linked to the team. His one-on-one acumen (56.7% this season), and his reasonable cap hit also make him a good fit for Colorado’s needs.

In what could be his final game with the Leafs, Laughton will face his old team, the Flyers, on Monday night.

Barcelona are considering the addition of Manchester City forward Omar Marmoush as they look to sign a summer striker.

according to gameThe Catalan club has already defined its priority positions for next season. A new number 9 sits at the top of that list. However, the market is weak and prices are rising rapidly.

Julian Alvarez His dream goal remains. Yet Atletico Madrid will demand around €150m (£130m), with Barcelona unable to reach that figure. As a result, alternatives are under discussion, and Marmoush is one of the names that is praised internally.

Why does the situation at Manchester City encourage transfers?

Marmoush joined Manchester City from Eintracht Frankfurt in January 2025 for €75m (£65m). Pep Guardiola approved the deal after taking a close look at his Bundesliga form.

In Frankfurt, the Egyptian established himself as one of the league’s most productive attackers. Barcelona’s recruitment team also followed him during that time. Given his dynamism and ability to link up play, they believe he fits into Hansi Flick’s attacking model.

However, his role at City has been limited. Erling Haaland remains untouched as a central striker. As a result, Marmoush struggled to gain regular starts, and was sometimes forced to play wide out.

He has performed well when coming off the bench, but opportunities have been limited this season. Additionally, he missed a month due to the Africa Cup of Nations. As a result, their total numbers appear modest.

There were already rumors of an exit in January. Sport reports that he would prefer a project offering more visibility and consistent minutes.

Importantly, Barcelona are not the only club keeping an eye on his situation. In recent weeks, Marmoush has also been linked to tottenham hotspur, aston villa And GalatasarayDue to which further uncertainty has increased in his future.

The end of his spell at City?

Barcelona are described as “ready” if Marmoush asks to leave this summer. The important thing is that he is not their first choice target. Still, if Alvarez’s move fails, the focus could quickly shift.

From the city’s perspective, the key question is valuation. Marmoush was valued at €75m (£65m) a year ago. However, Sport claim he could be available for less than that fee if Guardiola approves the sale.

That scenario will raise eyebrows. Selling him at such a discount so early would suggest City view him as surplus to requirements behind Haaland.

At present, there is no formal approach. Barcelona is monitoring the situation closely. A lot will depend on whether Marmoush pursues an exit after the season ends.

If he does so, Manchester City could face competition from England and Türkiye for his signature.
