Martin Montoya has revealed how he came very close to joining Manchester United as a youth player when he was coming through the Barcelona system.

mundo deportivo cover quote Today we hear from the 34-year-old and how he followed almost the same path as Gerard Pique, who moved to Old Trafford, and Cesc Fabregas, who moved to Arsenal.

Barcelona’s youth were targeted

Martín Montoya was a product of Barcelona’s famous La Masia academy and made 67 appearances for the first team, as well as 75 appearances for the club’s B team.

Despite serving primarily as a backup to Dani Alves, he was also a major honor winner at the Camp Nou, with three La Liga titles, two Copa del Rey titles, a Champions League and a Supercopa de España.

However his career could have been very different. This is because Manchester United called him when he was young.

“I was very close to Manchester United,” he told journalist Rodrigo Rei.

“When I was young, I was close to playing for Manchester United. They came to offer me a contract, like they did with Cesc Fabregas and Pique.

“They offered you to spend four years in England, but at the time I didn’t want to do that. My dream was to play for Barcelona. For me, United is the biggest team in the Premier League.”

Interestingly, Montoya will play alongside both Pique and Fabregas for Barcelona. This, at least, justified the decision for all three.

brighton mantra

Montoya eventually reached England when he joined Brighton on a €7m deal in 2018. He spent two years with the Seagulls and made 56 appearances in total.

This saw him matched with Alexis McAllister. He is currently at Liverpool but reports in England have linked him with a potential shock move this summer. Montoya, for his part, is a fan.

“I spent six months with him; he came and then took a loan and went to Boca,” He said.

“Really a fantastic player, although at the time we didn’t think he would reach the level he is now. He was very young, barely spoke English, but as a person he is a star and as a footballer, he is performing brilliantly and has a huge future.”

Tottenham Hotspur captain Cristian Romero has a clause in his contract that allows him to join Atletico Madrid for €60m, €10m less than Spurs’ value.

Marca reports that Romero negotiated to include that clause when he signed his final contract extension.

The newspaper reports that Atletico have not given up on Romero despite trying to sign him last summer. In fact, he is once again the top target for the defense ahead of next season.

Romero is doing his thing

The transfer is supposed to be difficult, but Romero is playing his part in making it possible. In fact, he has been trying his best to make a deal possible for some time now. This includes negotiating a clause in his final extension to Tottenham.

The deal, signed in August, came after Atletico refused to pay Tottenham’s €55m demand for the striker. The 27-year-old was left disappointed after accepting a ‘shocking’ renewal offer. But he had an ‘ace up his sleeve’.

Knowing that Tottenham valued him at €70m, he included a special clause in his contract for Atlético set at €60m. Although still a high figure, it is a demonstration of his desire to join the Rojiblancos.

real madrid aware

Now he has extended this clause to both of Spain’s biggest clubs. Real Madrid is aware of the situation, but his signals for Atlético have been constant and noted.

The last of those came during the recent meeting in the Champions League. romero Refused to be sure about his Tottenham future To the media after that game.

But behind closed doors he took the opportunity to chat with Atletico’s Argentine players, who he plays with on the international stage. It was a demonstration of how well he can integrate into Atlético.

Atletico sporting director Matteo Alemany will have to consider the option when presented with it. He will also wait to see if Tottenham are relegated, which could change the situation drastically.

This will definitely open the doors wider and potentially bring competition. However, he will not have the special clause that Romero has negotiated for Atlético.

Nottingham Forest’s attempts to sign Álvaro Montoro from Botafogo have now been blocked multiple times, with the latest legal development in Brazil adding a new layer to it previously covered position.

The Premier League club, as part of their growing relationship with John Textor’s network, were working on a deal for the Argentine attacking midfielder with Danilo – a player who was already familiar to Forest following his tenure at the club.

However, according to EarthThose efforts have been repeatedly blocked – first internally in Botafogo, and now by a court ruling in Rio de Janeiro.

Nottingham Forest’s interest also extended to Danilo, with both players being part of a wider negotiation that had already progressed to defined figures.

Botafogo block and legal intervention

Before any court involvement, Botafogo had already intervened three times to prevent Álvaro Montoro from leaving.

Reports suggest that when Textor attempted to push through a transfer to Nottingham Forest the club’s social arm intervened. Those interventions came in both 2025 and 2026, indicating internal resistance over how to handle the deal.

Now the matter has increased further. A Rio court has ruled that Textor cannot sell Botafogo players without the prior approval of a minority shareholder.

The decision was based on failure to comply with earlier obligations. As a result, any outgoing transfers – including transfers involving Nottingham Forest – are effectively halted until the necessary approvals are granted.

Texter has denied that the sale was slated for completion in early 2026. Still, repeated efforts show that behind-the-scenes negotiations have made considerable progress.

Deal structure and the Nottingham Forest partnership

Alvaro Montoro’s potential move to Nottingham Forest had already reached the agreed price stage.

The attacking midfielder was set to leave for €14m (£12.1m), while Danilo’s move was valued at €19m (£16.4m). However, the structure of the deal complicates the picture.

Botafogo currently owe Forest €20m (£17.3m) ahead of Danilo’s arrival in July 2025. Because of this, any outgoing transfers involving the same clubs will not generate the full headline fee.

In practice, the joint exit of Montoro and Danilo would have yielded only €13m (£11.2m). This significantly reduces the financial gain for Botafogo and helps explain internal resistance.

It’s also worth noting that Danilo is enjoying great form in Brazil at the moment. The midfielder has been a key figure in recent matches and was included in Brazil’s latest squad, the final call-up before the World Cup list is confirmed.

Financial pressure and FIFA risk

Álvaro Montoro’s situation is also linked to Botafogo’s wider financial issues.

The Brazilian club still has to pay for the transfer of Velez Sarsfield. FIFA has already ruled against Botafogo after defaulting on payments in August and December 2025.

This opens the door to possible transfer restrictions if the debt is not settled. As a result, selling players remains a priority, even if specific deals have been blocked.

Inside the SAF, the departure is still being considered. Despite the current legal ban, Montoro and Danilo talks have not been completely ruled out.

What’s next for Nottingham Forest?

Nottingham Forest now find themselves waiting rather than negotiating, as they have no power to influence matters.

Their interest in Montoro remains clear, and the pricing suggests they see value in the deal. However, the legal ruling means that any progress depends on internal approval at Botafogo.

At the same time, Forest have already signed players from Textor’s structure in unusual financial circumstances.

This latest case follows a similar pattern – complex negotiations, internal tensions and changing valuations.

There has been constant speculation over the future of Newcastle United’s Sandro Tonali since joining the club.. A summer exit now looks certain for the midfielder.

The Italian media have repeatedly found reasons to talk about the ex-AC Milan player. Juventus have been mentioned as a suitor but Tonali’s agent Giuseppe Risso has hinted at a possible stay in the Premier League.

sports witness His comments were covered, as the Italian suggested the player was interested in a move to clubs such as Arsenal or Manchester City.

Now, it seems that active efforts are underway to secure Tonali’s departure to Newcastle United.

Group of players listening to offers

gazzetta dello sport Carlo Laudisa now reports on Sandro Tonali, claiming his price has skyrocketed. This will make it very difficult for Juventus to bring him back to Italy.

The journalist, who is very experienced, also says that the 25-year-old’s crew ‘has been working for months’. He wants to plan a transfer away from Newcastle United. The plan is to receive the best offer from the Premier League, which is where they are focusing their efforts.

It is hinted that magpies may not make it easy for potential suitors. They are unwilling to part with the player, which suggests the Tyneside club will place a high price on the Italy international.

This could be good news for Arsenal, Manchester United and Manchester City. The UK press has mentioned all three as possible lovers. tuttosport Risso’s appearance at the Gunners’ game against Brighton earlier this month was talked about.

Newcastle United should settle for nothing less

Since leaving AC Milan, Sandro Tonali’s stature has only grown. Even the betting ban has not halted his progress, with the player establishing himself as one of the best midfielders in the Premier League.

Even for Italy he has established himself as a pillar and will be key in the upcoming World Cup playoffs.

That’s why Newcastle United should not listen to any low offers for the player. Taking everything into account, Tonali is potentially a player worth €100 million. Contenders may have to pay that amount to get a chance to sign it.

Laudisa is a veteran of the Italian press and his information is likely to contain at least some truth. This should be seen as a clear message that the people around Tonali are fully accepting of the idea of ​​a transfer and Magpies supporters should start making peace with the idea.

Celtic’s Benjamin Nygren once again finds himself at the center of transfer discussionsEven if the player tries to keep that noise at arm’s length during turbulent weather at Celtic Park.

The 24-year-old has been one of the few consistently positive figures for Celtic this campaign. Despite instability and mixed results on the touchline, Nygren’s form has been excellent.

He has scored 19 goals and provided seven assists in 48 appearances in all competitions, and is currently second in the Scottish Premiership scoring charts with 15 goals.

That level of performances has already put him on the radar of English clubs. Previous reports, including claims involving Manchester United, have linked him with a move to the Premier League. earlier this monthHe also spoke openly about his “dream” of playing in the biggest leagues.

Season references and Celtic chaos

Benjamin Nygren has made no secret of the gap between his individual form and the club’s struggles. Talking to Swedish outlet sportbladetHe admitted that the campaign had been “mixed”, pointing directly to a damaging defeat against Dundee United which left Celtic Hearts behind at the top of the table.

“It’s been a bit mixed. Unfortunately we lost a very important match,” He said.

While results have fluctuated, Nygren’s individual performances have remained strong. He pointed this out himself, saying that he approaches international duty with “a lot of confidence” after a productive run in front of goal.

Celtic’s season has also been affected by instability off the pitch. Brendan Rodgers’ departure at the start of the campaign set off a chain reaction. Martin O’Neill stepped in, then gave way to Wilfred Nancy, whose brief spell ended after eight matches. O’Neill was forced to turn back again.

Nygren described the situation clearly: “A lot has happened. We’ve had a lot of managerial changes and there are a lot of demands at a big club like Celtic. We haven’t really lived up to those demands.”

That context matters when assessing his output. Putting up consistent numbers in that environment has only increased his profile.

Premier League links and careful reaction

Benjamin Nygren didn’t shy away from drawing attention to the transfer. However, he also made it clear that he will not let this distract him.

“It sure is fun. It proves you did something good,” He said.

At the same time, he also stressed the desire to remain connected to the land. He is focused on improving every day and helping Celtic finish the season strongly.

“It’s not something I focus on right now. The season is going on. The focus is on the club, and now on the national team. Then it’s about trying to finish the season as well as possible, win the league and the cup.”

There is a clear balance in the Celtic star’s words. Nygren accepts the interest and allows himself a certain degree of enthusiasm. Still, he is careful not to indulge in too much speculation.

What’s next for Celtic?

The Benjamin Nygren situation puts Celtic in a familiar dilemma. The club have a player in peak form under contract until 2030, and his market value is now around €10m (£8.6m). This figure has increased rapidly in recent months.

If his current scoring rate continues, further interest from the England side seems inevitable. His versatility in attacking midfield and forward roles only strengthens that appeal.

Plus, there is no immediate pressure on Celtic to sell. His lengthy contract gives him control, and the club will want stability after a chaotic season.

For now, Nigren is proceeding cautiously. He is enjoying the recognition he has received from his performance. Yet he is also making sure that doesn’t become the story of his season.

If Premier League interest becomes concrete this balance may not be maintained for long.

Diego Coppola joined Brighton on a permanent deal last summer but was loaned out to Paris FC in January. Despite this, the defender has no negative words to say about the Seagulls.

sports witness The excitement in Italy about a move to the English south coast was capped, with Hellas Verona receiving a fee of €11m.

In the first half of the campaign, the Italian played five times in the Premier League but played less than 200 minutes. He got playing time in the Carabao Cup but it was not enough to impress Fabian Herzeler

Therefore, in search of more playing time, he joined Paris FC, where he has already played over 600 minutes in all competitions. This has played a role in his selection in the Italian national team to some extent.

The centre-back has now spoken about his time at Brighton and his exit.

The player is grateful to Brighton

spoke to diego coppola Gianluca Di Marzio In a detailed interview. Despite his lack of game time under the German, he expressed some praise for Herzeler.

The centre-back said: “He is a great person who helped me a lot. That’s why I have nothing to say against brightonStaff, or Herzeler. Quite the contrary.”

Coppola revealed that the Seagulls supported him for the transfer, even though they would have preferred to keep him on the team.

“I asked to leave because I wanted more playing time; they didn’t want to let me go. Herzeler would have liked to have me in the group, because I had a close relationship with the boys and young players. But then they understood my needs, because, for my development as a player, it was the best option, considering that I would return there sooner or later.“

The Italian cited Brighton’s impressive training ground as one of the reasons he accepted them as a destination in the first place.

“I knew that Brighton were already pursuing me between February and March last year. They sent me videos of the facilities to show me how they worked, so I’m not saying I only had an offer from Brighton, but I know they wanted me and I accepted straight away“

The future may still be in the Seagulls’ hands

Taking his words into account, Diego Coppola may still have a future at Brighton. He also hints at this and everything could depend on how he performs for Paris FC.

There should be no doubt about his ability. He impressed in Serie A at Hellas Verona, which also earned him a place with the Azzurri last year. This suggests that Coppola could become an important player for Brighton should he get past the settling period.

Many players from Ligue 1 find it easier to make their mark in the Premier League. Perhaps that’s why Paris FC is a good destination for the 22-year-old player, who has a long-term contract at the Amex that might just be completed.

Chelsea’s development plan for Mateo del Blanco is already facing mixed signals in ArgentinaThe latest reports show that the situation is much less advanced than previously presented.

In our first coverage, journalist Renzo Pantich described A clear path is being prepared. He clearly stated that del Blanco ‘Will be bought by Chelsea and loaned to Racing de Strasbourg’Framing this move as an expectation of something happening soon.

That version structured the deal and aligned with Chelsea’s multi-club model. Strasbourg will act as a first step, allowing the 22-year-old left-back to adapt ahead of any potential move to Stamford Bridge.

However, reporting from Argentina now paints a more cautious picture.

The situation was seen differently in Santa Fe

argentina outlet hail The situation has been addressed from inside the union – and the tone is notably different.

Both the club and the player’s representatives insist that there has been no formal offer from Chelsea. On the Santa Fe side, the situation is still being treated as speculation, even if Europe’s interest has been acknowledged.

Importantly, it is not designed as a running deal. Instead, it is described as a rumor that is growing in visibility, but with no concrete steps behind it.

Del Blanco is attracting interest – but no offers

Ole also provides wider context about the player’s rising profile. Mateo del Blanco was the top assist provider in the 2025 Clausura, registering five assists, and remains one of the standout performers in the current Apertura.

That form has already attracted attention from elsewhere in South America. Brazilian clubs such as Red Bull Bragantino and Corinthians followed him closely during the last window. However, as is the current situation with Chelsea, no formal bid was made.

The union responded to that interest by securing its future. The club extended his contract until December 2028, strengthening both his playing position and his negotiating leverage.

Youngsters still at the center of union plans

Mateo del Blanco remains a prominent figure in Santa Fe. He is a guaranteed starter under manager Leonardo Madellon and is one of the team’s most influential players.

A sale would represent a significant sporting loss, even though it could become one of the club’s most significant financial operations in recent years.

That balance helps explain the current stance. The club is aware of the increased attention, but is not yet dealing with any concrete situation.

Next Steps for Bluco

The new report means it now becomes a situation to monitor rather than complete.

Pentich’s claims suggest internal planning and intention. Meanwhile, reporting on hail reflects the reality on the ground in Argentina, where no formal measures have been taken.

This difference is common in early stage transfers, especially in South America. Interest may persist for months before developing into conversation.

For now, Matteo del Blanco sits in between those two versions. A player clearly on Chelsea’s radar, but still waiting for that interest to translate into something tangible.

Christian Romero has become a pivotal figure at Tottenham Hotspur over the last few months. Now the chances of him leaving the club in the summer are increasing.

The Argentine has also contributed negatively for Spurs in recent months. Against Nottingham Forest, he was criticized for a costly error which cost the opposition a second goal. This happened during and at a crucial point in an important match.

This has become a pattern of the season for the defender and his teammates. Romero is one of those who have served various suspensions throughout the campaign.

His boisterousness has also come under the microscope, even though his ability has never really been in question.

sports witness has covered discussions of a possible transfer to Atletico Madrid, a claim that has been made for over a year. Now, the idea of ​​a return to Serie A is also gaining momentum.

Roma, Napoli and Inter are interested

Journalist Armando Areniello has now reported on Cristian Romero’s future at Tottenham. He clarified that Inter Milan, AS Roma and Napoli are all interested in the Argentina international.

Areniello believes- in the worst case scenario arianapoli – That ‘Tottenham value him at €50-60m’, especially given that his contract expires in 2029.

The deal is likely to be complex for Italian sides, who do not always have the financial resources. Romero has played at Genoa and Atalanta (on loan from Juventus) but his value could be much higher than the Serie A clubs right now.

Spain appears to be the more likely destination

Furthermore, it appears that the journalist is underestimating Tottenham’s value. Since Romero has a long-term contract and is the club captain, it is unlikely that they will let him leave cheaply.

Even if they are demoted, they will still be able to command higher fees. There will be pressure, especially players having to take pay cuts, but Spurs will apply more pressure.

That’s why Italian sides must be on the periphery for his signature. The player has already impressed in Serie A, having also impressed in the Champions League at Atalanta.

Atletico Madrid are used to spending big money on players, with the defender also expressing a desire to move to Spain. All this should make Los Rojiblancos the favorites to sign the 27-year-old.

The club has a good record of signing Argentinian international players. Diego Simeone is also in attendance. Therefore, should Cristian Romero leave Tottenham in the summer it is difficult to see Serie A as a possible destination.

Elia Caprile has come a long way since his time at Leeds United. Aston Villa have been mentioned as suitors for the goalkeeper, with his agent speaking about his future.

The Italian joined Cagliari on loan from Napoli in January 2025. Since then, he has played 50 times in all competitions, and has become a key player for the Sardinian side.

This has allowed him to remain in and around the Italian national team, with major Serie A teams keeping a close eye on him.

earlier this month, sports witness Covered claims about interest from Aston Villa, approaching the departure of Emi Martínez. Caprile’s agent has now hinted at the fact that several clubs have been monitoring the goalkeeper for some time now.

Caprile focused on the present

Graziano Battistini of the GB1 agency spoke to Style TV about his client’s future. He made it clear that the former Leeds player is focused on the present, even though the list of suitors is growing.

He said- relayed by calciocastedu: : “I will only focus on the present because right now Elia needs to continue to play his role in the league so that Cagliari can achieve its goals.”

While focusing on the suitors, Battistini insisted that interest from clubs does not mean a deal is done. Any team has a long way to go before they can find a keeper.

“It is true that the boy is being monitored by high-level clubs. But being monitored is one thing, discussing and completing a deal is another.”

This comes just after Aston Villa’s interest in the Italian was once again highlighted, with Unai Emery’s side pursuing the player. Tottenham are doing the same, with Guglielmo Vicario linked with an exit from the London side.

Aston Villa is a big leap forward for Caprile

It’s fair to say that the 24-year-old definitely deserves a transfer from Cagliari soon. He has impressed enough to earn a big transfer, which explains why the likes of Inter Milan and AC Milan are also keen.

That jump – including a potential move to Aston Villa – will take some effort. Elia Caprile is the perfect age, but the next step isn’t always the right one.

Unai Emery’s side could still play in the Champions League, with the Italian yet to make his mark in the competition. That’s why – despite Caprile’s quality and leadership, it makes more sense to make a move elsewhere before making the final leap to a Champions League club.

Randal Kolo Muani’s time at Tottenham has been limited to glimpses of quality. Since the season has not ended yet, efforts to find a new club for him are already underway.

Spurs landed the Frenchman on a dry loan deal from Paris Saint-Germain at the end of the summer. This came as Juventus made desperate attempts to bring him back to Turin.

The old woman did not stop even in January. sports witness The claim was veiled as how they were pushing for a deal over the winter but things proved quite complicated.

It now appears as if Kolo Muani is already thinking about his future after his Tottenham loan. His team is working towards a possible return to Juventus.

Kolo Muani possibly regrets Spurs switch

today’s gazzetta dello sport Note that the 27-year-old would have ‘happily avoided’ a switch to Tottenham in the summer. This is not just because the London club suffered relegation, but because he was very keen on a move to Juve.

Now, it is absolutely clear that he will not be in the Premier League team. Paris Saint-Germain have made it clear to their squad that he will be moved in the summer, with a swap deal involving Juve’s Jonathan David currently being considered.

It is believed the financial puzzle is still being sorted out but Randal Kolo Muani is now desperate for a transfer to Turin. His squad have expressed full availability for a return, with Luciano Spalletti keen to reunite him with Dusan Vlahovic.

The Italian is also clear that he will not want David in his team next season. This has become clear from his selection in the last two matches. Erek Milik, who has not played in over a year, was given preference over the Canadian in the recent draw against Sassuolo.

Talks could affect Tottenham commitment

Randle Kolo Muani is not the only Spurs player whose future is already being talked about prominently. The fact that he already seems frustrated with the situation at Tottenham is not a good sign for the club.

At this time they need players who are desperate to leave their mark. Instead, they have several (key) players who regularly speak to the press and their teammates leak information for potential transfers.

One last push from him would go a long way for Tottenham, who have seven games left to save themselves. While demotion would be a disaster for the club, it should also leave a negative mark against the players involved.

• expected goal [per season]: 1.87
• expected assistance [per season]: 2.97
• major changes were made [per season]:4
• Main Street: 1.1
• Shots on target: 0.4
• Successful dribble: 1.0

The games were initially slated for March in Qatar. However, increasing political tensions in the region made that option impractical, forcing UEFA and CONMEBOL to seek alternatives. Things went wrong from there.

How did the finalissima go away

Many solutions were put on the table. UEFA insisted on keeping the match in Europe and playing it within the current international window. Spain was prepared for this, with Madrid seen as a realistic host.

Argentina and CONMEBOL were not fully on board. They preferred a more neutral venue, or even delayed the game altogether. There was also a reluctance in Europe to accept a one-sided final.

As the talks dragged on for a long time, no middle path could be found. With no agreement on where and when to play and no real pressure to make a decision, the match went smoothly.

Instead of a high-profile final, Argentina will now face Mauritania and Zambia in friendlies at La Bombonera.

Fernandez makes his feelings clear

He did not hide his disappointment while talking to Enzo Fernandez TYC Sports After reaching back to Argentina.

“Obviously I would love to play the Finalsima, to represent my country in the finals. Due to the problems that occurred, it could not be played, so now we have to enjoy friendly matches with my teammates.” He said.

The Chelsea midfielder also made it clear that he is still hopeful that the game can take place at some point.

“I would like it to be played in the future. This is the final and hopefully we can play it.”

He also addressed the level of the upcoming opponent and compared it to Argentina’s preparations ahead of the 2022 World Cup.

“When we played before the World Cup (Qatar 2022), there were not too many demanding friendly matches. We try to take responsibility and give our best performance regardless of the opponent.”

Fernandez was also asked about the latest speculations. linking him to real madrid Upon reaching Argentina, and they immediately shut it down.

“Nothing, zero conversation [with Real Madrid]. My focus is on Chelsea, what’s left in the season, and after the World Cup we’ll see,” He made it clear that despite the ongoing rumours, his immediate priority remains Stamford Bridge.

There was also a more personal note, with Fernandez enjoying being back home.

“It’s been a long time since I’ve been back to the country, I’ve missed it a lot. Obviously, being here with the people is something I miss deeply.”

what happens next

At this time, there are no clear plans to reschedule Finalissima.

That leaves Fernandez and Argentina focused on routine fixtures, even if the sentiment within the team is clear. They wanted the game, and at least on the players’ side, there is still hope that it will eventually be played.

As far as Enzo Fernandez and Chelsea are concerned, as he said, he will see how things go after the World Cup. That tournament will be at the core of the midfielder’s thoughts right now.

Lorenzo Lucca has not played for Nottingham Forest in the Premier League for several weeks. He scored on his debut against Leeds United but things have not gone according to plan since.

There was a mystery surrounding his absence earlier this month. sports witness Covered that his absence was due to an ankle injury. He went to Italy to assess the situation, with the issue ruling him out for a few games.

He immediately returned to action last week against Midtjylland, playing the full 120 minutes. Despite this, he was left out of the squad against Tottenham at the weekend.

Nottingham Forest won easily 3–0, appearing to spare the striker at all.

The situation now appears worrying for many in Italy arianapoli Covering the former Pisa player.

Difficulties are increasing for Lucca

The outlet believes the boycott against Spurs was ‘difficult’ for Napoli. This is now being described as the most critical part of Lucca’s career, which was derailed in Naples.

The Italian champions put a purchase option on the loan at Nottingham Forest and were hoping things would turn around. In fact, they have moved further south and Lucca has fallen out of Vitor Pereira’s plans.

It is also used in England to highlight the difficulties in adapting to life. Those struggles are not only physical but also mental, even if the 25-year-old has been away from Italy for some time in the past. All this has been presented as ‘bad news’ for Napoli’s chances of selling him.

A return from Nottingham Forest looks likely

sports witness Has covered claims in Italy that have questioned Lucca’s attitude and work ethic. This was always in doubt even at Napoli, where Antonio Conte always wanted players to perform more physically.

With all this in mind, the Italian press is no surprise at how things are going.

Any player reaching England in January may face difficulties in settling there. If Nottingham Forest had signed Lucca in the summer, it would have been easier for the player.

Now, getting his career back at another club next season is the most logical option for the player.

Chelsea want to bring AC Milan’s Strahinja Pavlovic to the Premier League in the summer.

The centre-back’s development has caught Chelsea’s attention, and the Blues are ready to make a concerted effort.

Pavlović graduated from Partizan Belgrade’s youth system and made his first-team debut in 2019.

He spent one year there and moved to AS Monaco in 2020 before leaving them for Red Bull Austria in 2022. The Austrian side then sold him to Milan for €18m in August 2024.

The Serbia international played 1,864 minutes in 24 league matches for the Serie A team last season. His status has improved this season as he has played 2,150 minutes in 26 matches, scoring four goals and one assist.

To give an idea, below are the defender’s league statistics per game this season.

The 24-year-old’s performances for the Rossoneri have caught the attention of Chelsea calciomercato.it Now cover the latest.

Chelsea ready for solid progress

Earlier in the season, Sport Witness Covered claims from Italy Chelsea, Arsenal and Barcelona are monitoring him. The source indicated that Milan’s asking price could be around €60-70m.

Fast forward to March and calciomercato.it now covers Liam Rosenior’s keen interest in the central defender.

After a mixed debut season at the San Siro under Paulo Fonseca and Sergio Conceicao, the player has established himself as a key player for Massimiliano Allegri this season.
This comes at a cost as Milan have to be wary of the interest of Club World Cup winners.

calciomercato.it report ‘a big offer from Chelsea’ as they are willing to pay around €40m for the former Monaco man.

The quoted fee allows Allegri’s side to make ‘significant capital gains’ in the summer, but they appear unwilling to sell him. Therefore, the west London club will have to convince Milan to give them the chance to obtain the signature of Strahinja Pavlovic.

Serbian contract, price and agent information

The Rossoneri gave him a contract until 2028 with the option of a further year. He is now valued at €28m transfer marketHighest so far in his career. Such valuations are often below real value, and AC Milan are likely to demand more.

Serbian agent Zvonimir Vucic’s company, Football Agency 10, looks after his future.

The agency has two clients and Mihajlo Petrovic, 20, of Pelister Bitola, is another client.

Brighton & Hove Albion have added Flamengo youngster Ryan Roberto to their growing South American shortlist, with the latest report from Brazil detailing early scouting interest.

The Seagulls have a clear strategy in the area. Recent moves for players such as Julio Enciso and Facundo Buonanotte underline that approach. Now, attention has turned to another teenage attacker developing at Flamengo.

according to RTI gameBrighton Scouts are currently in Ecuador. He has been following Ryan Roberto closely during the Copa Libertadores U20. No formal approach has come yet. However, the presence of club observers suggests serious tracking rather than casual interest.

Player profile and early development

Ryan Roberto is only 18 but is already showing signs of high-level potential. The forward joins Flamengo from Athletico Paranaense in 2023. The two clubs still share his economic rights, each owning a 50% stake.

Since stepping into Flamengo’s U20 setup in 2025, he has made 19 appearances. During that time, he scored seven goals and added one assist. These numbers are solid for a player who is still acclimating at a high level.

Furthermore, he was part of the team that won the U20 Intercontinental Cup in 2025. That performance has helped increase his visibility internationally.

He has also had some experience of senior football. Earlier this year, he participated twice in the Rio de Janeiro State Championship.

Contract status and evaluation

Flamengo are well protected in this position. Ryan Roberto is under contract until December 2027. This gives the Brazilian club a strong advantage in any future negotiations.

His release clause is set at €50m (£43m). This figure is considered high, especially for a player who has yet to establish himself in senior football. Nevertheless, it reflects Flamengo’s broader policy of protecting its top prospects.

Internally, Flamengo are not rushing into any valuation discussions. Nevertheless, there is growing hope that offers could come in the summer window.

Why are Brighton watching closely?

Brighton’s recruitment model absolutely favors players like Ryan Roberto. Young, technically sharp, and still undervalued before a big breakout.

However, there are still clear growth areas. His production at the youth level is promising, but not impressive yet. One assist in 19 matches suggests his creative end product may be improving.

That said, his current performance in the Libertadores U20 could be decisive. Strong performances in this tournament often accelerate transfers to Europe.

So, it seems that Brighton is establishing itself quickly. They are gathering information and assessing whether to move ahead before the price rises further.

Next steps for brighton

At the moment, there is no official bid on the table. Flamengo insisted that no formal contact had taken place.

Yet, Brighton’s presence on the field changes the picture. This signals intent and puts them ahead of potential competition.

The likely next step is continued monitoring during the tournament. If Ryan Roberto keeps up his level, interest could soon solidify.

Summer transfers are not guaranteed. But the groundwork is clearly being prepared.

Arsenal defender Riccardo Calafiori has opened up about life in London. And while he insists he is happy at the club, his latest comments may come as music to Inter Milan’s ears.

London life and schedule pressures

The 23-year-old admitted gazzetta dello sport The Premier League schedule leaves little time to enjoy life in the capital.

When asked about what it was like to live in London he said, “It’s good, even if you play every three days and you can’t enjoy it.”

“The city offers a lot. But when it comes to England, it’s a different story: London is London, but the rest…”

Home sickness and Italy connection

Pressed on whether he felt homesick, Calafiori did not hide the emotional pull of his homeland.

“I miss the sun and want to see friends and family more often, but I’m not complaining. In Italy, we are used to being observed, judged and criticized. I like that it’s not like that here.”

inter milan interest

These words come just 24 hours after reports in Italy suggested that Inter Milan are exploring a move to bring him back to Serie A.

That report, from L’Interistareported that Inter sporting director Piero Ausilio and his deputy Dario Bacin have flown to London on a mission to watch Calafiori and other targets. They see him as a replacement for Alessandro Bastoni.

And while Calafiori didn’t directly address the rumor, his thoughts on Italy, and the warmth he exuded, will only fuel speculation.

Arsenal commitment and praise

Yet, when it comes to Arsenal, his commitment is unambiguous. He loves life in the Emirates more than anything.

He concluded, “I’ve always dreamed of playing in England. After the European Championship my price tag went up, and my agent explained that Arsenal really want me.”

“I knew I would be playing in the toughest league. But I told myself I could always take a step back. And let’s be clear: Arsenal is Arsenal, unlike any other, an iconic team.”

For now, Calafiori appears to be fully invested in the Arsenal project. He is energized by the Premier League, enjoys the challenge with intensity, and is proud to wear the shirt of the club he calls “iconic”.

But even in his most positive thoughts, the allure of home persists. Missing the sun, missing family, missing the rhythm of Italy, for a 23-year-old who is still settling in a new country, these are not small things.

And with the Inter Milan affair, those feelings matter. Calafiori is not insisting on a move just yet, but his honesty hints at a truth the Italian giants would quietly appreciate.

Tottenham’s pursuit of Anderlecht’s Nathan De Cat has received a boost as the midfielder’s father has openly admitted he is in no rush to renew his contract at Anderlecht.

However, Spurs need to secure Premier League football to get the 17-year-old According to Voetbal 24.

Tottenham hopeful of breaking contract impasse

Nathan De Cat is currently linked to Anderlecht until 2027, but there is currently no expectation that he will renew. Due to this the Belgian club is facing a clear dilemma. Either they sell this summer or risk losing one of Europe’s most exciting midfielders next year.

For Tottenham, it is the perfect storm. De Cat is a top talent whose contract is shrinking and the club is under pressure to cash in.

Premier League Scouts Circle

At 17 the interest is already fierce. Manchester United have been tracking him for months. Tottenham’s interest is also solid, with several scouting missions logged. Brighton’s €20m bid has already been rejected.

Despite his age, Nathan De Cat is already a central figure in Anderlecht’s midfield. He has been handed a rare level of responsibility for a teenager and is a major reason why Europe’s elite are circling him.

His blend of maturity, technique and sporting intelligence has made him one of the most coveted prospects in Belgium and Europe.

€30-35m price tag

Anderlecht are aiming high, expecting a fee in excess of €30m. His negotiating position has been weakened due to his contract situation, but Spurs are understood to be willing to pay €30-35m to secure the youngster and beat off competition.

However, they must first secure Premier League survival. De Cat will have no desire to play in the Championship next season. His current position, 16^th In the table and just one point outside the bottom three, there is a hurdle for any desire to sign De Cat.

However, with De Cat’s father publicly freezing contract talks, the opportunity exists. It is now up to Spurs to ensure that their league position does not close the door they have been waiting to walk through.

The saga surrounding Saeed Al-Mala continues to take new twists and turns, with Brighton & Hove Albion now requesting a meeting with FC Koln during the upcoming international break.

Cologne City Gazette Report that Brighton want to hold a face-to-face meeting with Koln to lay the groundwork for a summer transfer.

Agent change boosts Brighton optimism

According to their information, it appears that Brighton have made progress behind the scenes for Said Al-Mala.

According to BILD, he has pledged to Brighton that the player will approve a move to the Amex this summer.

However, despite Brighton’s initial maneuvering, no formal offer has yet been made from Fabian Herzeler & Co. El Mala’s family has also not put pressure on him to come out.

keep the colon under control

Ultimately, the colon remains under complete control. The winger is tied to a deal until 2030, and, crucially, his contract does not include a release clause.

Brighton’s curiosity is well founded; The Seagulls have been trying to make a deal since last summer.

They submitted a verbal proposal in January but it has not been formalized yet. This has been said in a report that came two days ago They have reached an agreement in principle For summer deals.

Brighton aim to overtake bidding war

Competition for Saeed Al-Mala is also increasing. A report on the 19th^th stated that Chelsea was ready to collapse Asking price for Colon Star.

Newcastle officers were also seen at a hotel. Then tottenham were thrown into the mix Too.

This appears to have inspired Brighton to take further action. They appear to be determined to negotiate a way out of the bidding war before it breaks out.

Requesting negotiations during this international break is a clear signal they fear the window could become increasingly crowded, and they want to plant their flag before the giants are fully involved.

After spending more than three years at FC Nordsjælland, the Sweden international moved to Celtic in June 2025.

He scored five goals and four assists in 16 matches for Celtic under Rodgers, who left the club in October. That time, Nygren said He was ‘saddened’ by Rodgers’ decision to leave.

O’Neill used him in the middle of the pitch and as an attacking midfielder, and he scored 11 goals and two assists under his orders.

He has 19 goals and seven assists in 48 games for Celtic and the numbers in the league are shown below.

• Expected target: 10.78
• Expected assists: 5.82
• Big chances created: 7
• Key passes per game: 1.1
• Shots on goal per game: 1.1
• Successful dribble: 0.7
• Interceptions per game: 0.5
• Tackles per game: 0.9
• possession won [final third]: 0.8

Celtic player dreams of moving to the top league

sportbladet Interviewed Benjamin Nygren to discuss his season so far with the Bhoys and other topics.

“It’s been a really good season for me personally. The best of my career and I feel I’ve been given exactly the role I wanted at Celtic. I can be creative from my position in midfield, create a lot going forward and personally it’s been a good season,” He said.

“It is a bit difficult from a team point of view, but we are hopeful and confident that we will win the league this year.”

The 24-year-old’s versatility and overall performances for Celtic have sparked transfer links.

The newspaper mentions Manchester United as the rumored club, and these links please the player. In fact, he leaves the door open for a move away from Celtic in the future.

“It’s really just fun and a sign that you’ve done something good. I’m always humble, I’m always working hard to get better every day and I really enjoy Celtic.” Nigren explained.

“But like every other footballer, I have a dream to progress as far as possible in football and play in the biggest league.”

Sweden contracts, prices and agent information

Although he has expressed a desire to move on a big break, Celtic’s stance on his potential sale is not yet known.

Benjamin Nygren’s contract is until 2030, and his value, accordingly transfer marketWhen he joined Celtic he cost €6m. This increased to €6.5m in December and to €10m in March.

Agency HCM Sports Management represents the Celtic player, who is managed by agents Hasan Cetinkaya and Ali Dursun. He has a long list of clients, and includes Arsenal’s Victor Gyöckeres and Barcelona’s Frenkie de Jong.

Chelsea are already shaping up over Giovani Quenda’s transfer to England, with the winger now preparing for life in London while technically still at Sporting.

The 18-year-old is expected to return to Lisbon at the end of March. However, his recent routine shows that Chelsea’s influence begins long before the summer.

As we covered earlierThe Premier League side have kept Kwenda at Cobham to complete his recovery and begin to adapt to his future surroundings.

This includes learning English and becoming familiar with the city where he will soon be living.

Recovery, routine and quick adaptation

giovani quenda has spent last month Recovering from a broken fifth metatarsal suffered in late November. The injury required surgery in London shortly before Christmas, as Chelsea had already agreed a £43.5m (€50.7m) deal for the winger.

Since then, his rehabilitation has been structured in phases, as detailed in record In portugal. First, he worked on the mobility of the affected leg. Then came stabilization exercises, followed by strength work and a gradual return to the pitch.

Now in the final stages, Chelsea have decided to keep him in England instead of sending him back to Sporting early.

In recent days, Kwenda has been training at Cobham in the afternoon with a physiotherapist. Interestingly, the same specialist is also working with another Chelsea player, Caleb Willey, who is currently on loan.

Away from the pitch, the winger has started to develop his new routine. According to records, he spends the morning studying English, as well as getting to know London before his permanent transfer.

Chelsea are also supporting their off-field setup. The food is prepared by the club, and they have already begun initial commercial activities, including work involving Nike.

Timely withdrawal for crucial weeks

Despite an extended stay in England, Giovani Quenda is still expected to return to Sporting during the international break.

That timing is not accidental. Sporting is entering a crucial period of the season, with home fixtures and a Champions League double-header against Arsenal on 7 and 14 April.

Portuguese manager Rui Borges is also dealing with new concerns in attack, with winger Luis Guilherme expected to be out for a month with injury. As a result, Kwenda’s return could come at a crucial moment.

From Chelsea’s point of view, it is about more than just fitness. They want the winger to arrive in Lisbon ready to contribute immediately, both physically and tactically.

Why is Chelsea taking control?

Chelsea’s decision to keep Giovani Quenda in London highlights how highly they rate him.

The club is not just protecting its investment. They are actively managing his development, even if he is still playing elsewhere.

By combining recovery with cultural adaptation, Chelsea is effectively accelerating his integration before officially joining the team.

If everything goes according to plan, Kwenda will return to Sporting fully fit and ready for the decisive matches. Plus, he will already be one step closer to his next chapter in England.

Victor Orta has lived the ups and downs of football intimately, but the Director of Football, best known for his time at Leeds United, says both the game and life have changed him.

In a candid interview with AS GaliciaOrta reflected on what held him back amid promotion, European nights and the praise that followed his most famous signings.

“I’ve lost that ego”: Orta opens up on self-awareness

Asked who keeps his feet on the ground? When success threatened to inflate his egoOrta did not hesitate.

“My wife,” He said. “She’s my anchor. Anyway, I’ve lost that ego.”

The Raphinha transfer that defined Orta’s Leeds reign

This is a surprising admission from a man known for his intensity and conviction.

Victor Orta acknowledged that football can attract even the most self-conscious operators, especially when the praise comes from highlighting specific talents.

“Certainly, you feel those butterflies when you see your name mentioned as the discoverer of so-and-so,” He accepted.

“Or someone says to you, ‘Ah, you brought Raphinha (to Leeds), now he can win the Ballon d’Or.'”

From £17 million gamble to Barcelona captain

The deal marks one of Leeds United’s finest pieces of business in the Premier League era.

The Brazilian moved to Elland Road from Rennes in October 2020 in a £17m deal.

He scored 17 goals and recorded 12 assists in 67 games for the club, including a crucial penalty on the final day against Bournemouth in 2022. This helped prevent Leeds from relegation.

He moved to Barcelona in the summer for £50 million and after early struggles, he was named team captain amid a stellar campaign last season, in which he recorded 34 goals and 25 assists in 56 games and broke Lionel Messi’s record for goal contributions in a single Champions League campaign for the club.

He is, perhaps, the standout example of Orta’s eye for value and upside. But he insists that perspective now matters more than individual credit.

“I think there are more important things,” He concluded.

For Leeds fans, Raphinha’s legacy speaks for itself. Orta’s legacy at Elland Road is a different matter altogether.

However, the Spaniard says he is a changed man. Now, the legacy that Victor Orta values ​​most may be one that was created far away from the spotlight.

Talk about Guglielmo Vicario’s Tottenham future has only increased in recent weeks. Inter Milan are now stepping up their pursuit of the goalkeeper.

on thursday, sports witness Calciomercato covered claims about Nerazzurri sporting director Piero Ausilio’s visit to London. The intention was to get the ball rolling for a deal involving the goalkeeper.

Contact between the parties was expected, with the director also having watched several Champions League games in England this week.

Now, gazzetta dello sport Add more details about the player’s future and Ausilio’s activities during his stay in the English capital.

Tottenham player’s agent meets Ausilio

The newspaper report described the situation as a ‘flight to London’, adding that Ausilio was at Tottenham’s Champions League clash against Atletico Madrid.

He was accompanied not only by his assistant Dario Bacin but also by Vicario’s agent Gabriele Giuffrida. The Italian has been described as an international mediator and someone who had excellent relations with Ausilio. He has helped the Nerazzurri several times in the past and could also help Spurs with a deal for the player.

During the meeting, both sides informed each other about the Tottenham goalkeeper. It is believed that Giuffrida will be partly instrumental in convincing Spurs to agree to a good deal.

The 29-year-old is keen to leave the London side and is expected to pay a price, say Gazzetta €20m. It is believed that this agreement can be reached using bonuses that will reassure Igor Tudor’s side.

To clarify this, Gazzetta dello Sport reports: ‘Vicario turns 30 in October and could be acquired for a fee in excess of €20m, possibly reaching that figure through modest bonuses.’

so it’s €20m Involved Bonus, which seems extremely optimistic on the part of Inter Milan.

Giuffrida keys into Tottenham exit

Inter Milan are making every effort to establish the foundations for a deal.

Currently, Giuffrida also represents another Tottenham player in Radu Dragusin and has great influence in the Italian market. Given his experience, it is no surprise that he is being trusted.

Apart from this, the wishes of the player are also being taken into consideration and he is motivated to move forward.

Vicario’s current deal expires in 2028, making 2026 a good time to sell him. Now he is approaching 30 and there are many younger and better goalkeepers in the market for Tottenham.

JD Canavot’s performances at Crystal Palace have attracted the attention of Europe’s elite ahead of the summer transfer window.

Sacha Tavolieri The 19-year-old has reportedly attracted attention from across Europe after establishing himself as a regular starter at Selhurst Park.

Canavot steps up after Guhi’s departure

Canavot has quickly filled the gap left by Marc Guhi following his transfer to Manchester City in January. Since that transfer on 19 January, Canavot has made 10 appearances.

Before Guhi’s departure, Canavot made 13 appearances but featured mainly as a rotation substitute or injury cover. Since January he has started seven matches in all competitions. This includes the club’s last three consecutive Premier League games.

European elite watching

According to Tavolieri, clubs across Europe have taken notice of his rise. He revealed that several top sides are already monitoring the defender.

Crystal Palace want to keep him, but they have not ruled out a record-breaking sale. The Eagles would demand a significant fee to sanction any move.

Palace signed Canevote from Toulouse last summer for €23m plus add-ons, seeing him as a long-term replacement for Guéhi, who seemed set to leave at the time. Instead, Guhi stayed until January, limiting Canavot’s opportunities and forcing him to watch from the sidelines.

Development in the Premier League

Jaydy Canavut says he used that period wisely to adapt to the Premier League.

Now, he plays regularly under Oliver Glasner and continues to attract interest from across Europe. Tavolieri did not name the clubs tracking him.

Canavot’s combination of height, athleticism and composure on the ball has already made him one of Europe’s most talked-about young defenders. He has now added Premier League experience to that profile.

What would qualify as record sales is unclear. Transfermarkt currently values ​​Canavot at €20m, which is less than the amount paid by Crystal Palace last summer, but interest from specific clubs could easily push that figure much higher.

Marcus Thuram is increasingly set for a move to the Premier League this summer, Inter Milan are considering whether to cash in and Aston Villa and Newcastle United are preparing themselves for the move.

Despite a decline in form, the French forward is highly regarded, and Inter’s ability to book a full profit on any sale has increased interest ahead of the transfer window.

The French forward is going through a difficult period at Inter Milan and is struggling to reach his usual levels of consistency. Despite the absence of Lautaro Martínez, he remains in the headlines.

Thuram’s form has dropped significantly, with only one goal in more than two months. And this led to talk of a possible exit.

Premier League interest: Aston Villa and Newcastle move forward

Marcus Thuram is understood to prefer a move to the Premier League, despite reported interest from Saudi Arabia According to FC Inter News.

Two English clubs have already made their positions:

• Aston Villa view Joe Thuram as a high-class player as they look to establish themselves in the Champions League.
• Newcastle United, long-time fans of Thuram, believe this summer could provide the perfect opportunity to make a move.

Sensing an opportunity, both clubs have expressed their interest directly to Thuram’s camp as Inter Milan consider their options.

Inter Milan stance: Marcus Thuram advantage

Inter would only consider a sale if a significant offer came forward. After signing Marcus Thuram on a free transfer, Inter Milan will record any sale as a net profit.

This is a major factor as the club looks to reinvest in a new striker with different attributes.

were the armory Joined about a year agoBut nothing came out of it.

For now, Thuram is focused on finishing the season strong, with the World Cup around the corner.

But he will evaluate his future after the tournament is over. His preference on that front is clear, England over Saudi Arabia.

From Inter’s point of view, the summer window could be the ideal moment to maximize the striker’s value. From Aston Villa and Newcastle’s point of view, the door is open. It remains to be seen whether any club turns that interest into a concrete bid in the coming months.

Joseph has now expressed his desire to remain with the Demichelis. He revealed this during an interview with Fibvi Radio’s La Zona 10 and last minute Has released his comments.

Mallorca are now 16th in the table, two points above 18th-placed Elche, and the Spaniard admitted “This has not been the best year for the club”. Despite this he wants to extend his stay. Daniel Farke’s side will have a big role to play when deciding their future in the summer.

“I would like to continue to be happy here. When you are happy somewhere, why make a change? It does not depend much on me because I have a contract with another club. We will see what the future holds for me.” He said.

“I’m grateful to my coaches, to my teammates, who made me feel like one of them from day one, and to the sporting director, who has always shown confidence in me.”

Joseph explained about his new manager in Mallorca: “[He has] Ambition, individuality and desire to do well. He is very demanding and it matches well with my personality.

Why should Farke’s side be sold in summer?

Joseph has a contract with the Premier League team till 2028 transfer market He is valued at €3.5m. Another loan move means he will have a year left on his contract in 2027.

Last summer, the white man effectively went on strike to force a transfer. Real Betis wanted to sign him Either through permanent transfer or through loan with purchase option. However, Leeds United were looking for a dry loan move and agreed the same formula with Mallorca.

Joseph’s contract, going on strike last summer and his latest admission indicate that he does not want to play for Leeds United. Furthermore, he did not have the season of development he had expected. Therefore, it is best for Farke’s side to part ways with him permanently in the summer.

Wolverhampton Wanderers defender Santiago Bueno has openly admitted that the club’s January transfer business has left the team “significantly weakened”.

talking to efe and relayed by Mundo DeportivoBueno addressed the impact of losing several players during the January window.

Jørgen Strand Larsson, John Arias, Emmanuel Egbadou, Fer López, Marshall Munetsi and Kijana Hoever all left Wolves in January, while the club only added Adam Armstrong and Angel Gomes.

The club saw those deals as part of a long-term team rebuild, with the prospect of a drop into the Championship becoming increasingly likely.

“We were weakened quite a bit” – Bueno on Wolves’ winter exit

Bueno appeared unhappy with the club’s turnover and made it clear how his departure affected the team.

“It was a little difficult for us because we were very depleted, and I don’t think we brought what it took to replace him,” He said.

“Despite this, the team is very united, and we are all pulling together to move forward.”

Why Fer López struggled and why Bueno still believes in him

While Strand Larsson, Arias and Egbadou left on permanent deals, Ferr López returned to former club Celta Vigo on loan.

He was one of several summer signings who failed to make an impact at Molineux this season.

Since returning to Spain, she has rediscovered her form and happiness. He now plays regularly for the team that finished seventh in La Liga and competes in the Europa League.

That turnaround has seen him go from starting just two league games at Wolves since his return to appearing in seven La Liga matches and three Europa League games. Expectations remain that he will leave permanently in the summer, but Bueno defended the 21-year-old.

“Feir is a brilliant player. He is a very young boy who has not played many professional matches. It is not easy to get to the Premier League, which is the most demanding league in the world,” He said.

“It is a very physical competition and very different from what they are used to, which is why the players need an adaptation period. The team situation also worked against them, and when such situations arise, it becomes very difficult.

“He is showing at Celta what a good player he is, and if not now, he will perform at this level here or wherever he plays in the future.”

A message the wolves can’t ignore

Santiago Bueno’s honesty reflects concerns shared by many supporters. Wolves needed reinforcements, not a net loss of quality.

His comments stop short of directly criticizing the club, but they do underline a team stretched thin and relying heavily on unity to reach the end of the season.

That unity has been visible lately, which can only be a positive for the difficult months ahead.

Inter Milan are stepping on the accelerator for Tottenham Hotspur goalkeeper Guglielmo Vicario, with sporting director Piero Ausilio traveling to London to push talks forward.

according to transfer marketAusilio has traveled to London to pursue talks. The Tottenham goalkeeper has now approved the move and wants to return to Italy.

Inter’s 2023 target comes into focus again

Inter first targeted Vicario as their long-term No. 1 in 2023. The club made solid moves at that point, and the goalkeeper was ready to join.

But Empoli’s €20m valuation and Inter’s financial timing issues opened the door for Tottenham, who swooped in and closed the deal within hours.

Vicario wants out and Spurs’ crisis isn’t helping

The Premier League adventure with Tottenham has not gone according to plan. Calciomercato report that Vicario’s troubles at Tottenham began in October and his decline has only strengthened his desire to return to Serie A.

They have also been encouraged in Italy To take a step towards the Champions League finalists.

Ausilio’s London mission

Ausilio’s trip to London includes several meetings, but the priority is Vicario. Inter see him as their first-choice goalkeeper in the future. With player approval already secured, they are now ready to move forward quickly.

Inter are preparing to make changes to their goalkeeper department this summer. Yann Sommer’s contract is expiring and he could leave Milan. Meanwhile, Josep Martínez, who is currently the backup, has not convinced the club and could also be moved on.

Now they seem to be stepping on the accelerator for Vicario. But it is unlikely that any concrete bid will be made at this point.

There would be no point in sealing a deal for Vicario now as Tottenham are still in a precarious position. Relegation from the Championship could lead to a forced sale by Spurs this summer and Vicario could be seen being on the market at a cut-price price.

Instead, Ausilio’s trip to London seems like a preparatory move, seemingly encouraged by Vicario approving the move and setting the stage for a summer exit from Tottenham.

When Schalke moved to sign Adil Ouchiche from Sunderland in January, it was not instinct or scouting instinct that led to the deal. This was cold, hard data.

According to Sport BildAuchich emerged as an almost flawless match for Schalke’s new high-intensity identity long before the transfer window opened. The data behind the decision makes everything clear.

Inside Schalke’s data-driven recruitment system

Under CEO Matthias Tillmann, Schalke has built a Silicon Valley-inspired analytics machine that now drives every major sporting decision.

At the heart of that transformation is ‘StatsLibuda’, a custom-built model that scans over 230,000 players against Schalke’s tactical DNA, a profile built around sustained work rate, offensive pressing and strong duelling.

Why Aouchiche scored almost 99%

Ouchiche not only met the benchmark, it broke it, scoring nearly 99%, one of the highest ratings the system has ever received.

As soon as he became available at Sunderland, he made him a priority target. His intensity, defensive work and pressing output match perfectly with the style demanded by coach Miron Mušić.

His own appointment was also heavily influenced by Schalke’s new data-driven approach.

Ouchiche was not the only player marked by the system. But the Frenchman’s profile stood out because of how seamlessly he fit into the tactical model Schalke wanted to build.

The model rewards players who consistently hunt the ball, press aggressively after turnovers, and keep moving forward when others slow down.

A player designed for Schalke’s new identity

In short, Schalke didn’t sign Auchiche because he was available, they signed him because the numbers said he was already available.

The club’s new digital platform, “Hubstevens”, now integrates scouting, coaching analysis, match evaluation and soon also goalkeeping profiling. Each department feeds into the same system.

Ouchiche’s arrival from Sunderland is one of the first clear signs of where Schalke are headed: less gambling, less speculation, and a squad shaped by evidence rather than instinct.

West Ham United continue to monitor Flamengo centre-back Leo PereiraAnd recent developments in Brazil have added new significance to a situation that previously appeared stable.

The 30-year-old player has become one of South America’s most reliable defenders. He played 63 matches in 2025 and scored six goals. That output shows both durability and attacking threat from set-pieces.

More importantly, he anchored what was widely described by the Brazilian media as the country’s strongest defense during Flamengo’s title-winning season.

That defensive structure played a key role in Flamengo lifting both the Brazilian League and the Copa Libertadores. Leo Pereira operated as a left-sided centre-back in a system that demanded both aggression and composure.

The West Ham goal consistently stepped off the line to engage the attackers, while also maintaining positional discipline in the deeper stages.

From a statistical standpoint, their numbers reinforce that position. In all competitions, he averaged around 1.6 tackles and 1.4 interceptions per match. He also recorded nearly five clearances per game, highlighting his presence in defensive box situations.

Furthermore, his passing accuracy remained above 90%, underscoring his importance in Flamengo’s formation.

Those metrics place him among the most complete defenders in Brazilian football. He combines physical duality with ball progression, which fits the profile often tracked by Premier League clubs when scanning the South American market.

That’s where West Ham United comes in. london club is Have already checked the terms for a potential deal in recent months. His interest did not extend beyond initial inquiries. However, this also made him ranked among clubs closely following the defender position.

At that time, Flamengo made its stance clear. The club did not begin negotiations and considered Leo Pereira a non-negotiable part of the starting eleven. That situation remains largely intact, but the internal picture has begun to evolve.

Brazil call-up strengthens player’s position

Leo Pereira received his first call-up to the Brazil national team for the upcoming friendly matches against France and Croatia. This moment carried symbolic weight within Flamengo.

When the team returned to training teammates celebrated the achievement, with the defender receiving public recognition from the group.

At the same time, the call-up has had an impact behind the scenes. brazilian newspaper Earth says that this has strengthened the player’s position in the ongoing discussions with the club on salary increases.

Leo Pereira last had his contract renewed in 2023, with his current deal running until the end of 2027. Since that renewal, Flamengo has signed several defensive players on high salaries. Given his role as a longtime starter and defensive leader, this has created an internal imbalance.

Flamengo are aware of the situation. Club officials have already indicated a willingness to adjust his salary and bring it closer to the current structure.

However, negotiations have not yet been finalized, and the player’s new international status further increases the advantage in his favor.

Contract dynamics and the West Ham angle

For West Ham, these developments do not immediately open the door, but they change the context. The defender remains central to Flamengo’s plans and the Brazilian club are expected to resist any approach at this stage.

His contract length also gives Flamengo stronger control. With the deal running until 2027, there is no immediate pressure to sell.

The club’s position remains that only a significant offer, possibly aligning with his release clause, would force a separate negotiation. That clause is €60mApproximately £51 million.

Still, the internal contract situation introduces a layer of movement. A player who achieves international recognition as well as insists on better terms often becomes more visible in the market. This is not a sign of an exit, but it could change how clubs view the opportunity.

West Ham’s interest currently remains at monitoring level. However, a combination of consistent performances, Brazil call-ups and ongoing contract negotiations mean that Leo Pereira’s situation is no longer stable.

For the London club, any future move would require not only a significant financial commitment, but also the right timing. Flamengo are still in a strong position, yet wider dynamics around the player continue to develop.

Douglas Luiz has had a productive time at Aston Villa so far but his permanent stay in Birmingham is likely to depend on one major factor.

The Brazilian failed to really make an impression during his loan spell at Nottingham Forest, leading to a move to the Villans soon after.

Juventus, desperate for a breakaway, loaned him to Aston Villa and also gave Unai Emery’s team an option to buy.

So far this season, the midfielder has played seven times in the Premier League, having already logged nearly 500 minutes. He had even fewer minutes during his time at the City Ground, which shows how much better things are now.

Now, tutomercatoweb Have looked at situations that could lead to his permanent transfer to Villa Park.

Emery key to Douglas Luiz’s future

The outlet is confident that if Unai Emery stays at Aston Villa, the Brazilian midfielder will also join on a permanent basis.

There has been a very good relationship between the two for some time now. Douglas Luiz was key for the Spaniard during his first spell before moving to Turin. It is no surprise that his best performances are coming again under Emery and it is getting his career back on track.

Secondly, there is also the condition of Aston Villa’s qualification for the Champions League. Failure to make this may cast doubt on the deal.

Aston Villa happy with purchase option

TMW believe Unai Emery’s side are happy with the €25m purchase option present in the deal. They are also satisfied about the €3m bonus that will be paid if Douglas Luiz continues to impress.

The €25m is payable over three financial years and this could really help Aston Villa when it comes to amortizing the amount.

These terms were agreed in January and will allow Juve to recoup the amount initially paid for the 27-year-old in 2024.

This is a slight departure from what Tuttosport reported last week. sports witness Raised claims that it was certain the Midlands club would ask for a waiver from the Bianconeri.

Deal will help Juventus and Aston Villa

Douglas Luiz returning to Birmingham permanently would help all parties involved.

He is happy again at Aston Villa and is close to his best. That was not the case at Juventus, where he looked like a shadow of himself tactically and physically.

The Bianconeri deal for the player was worth around €50m. Their best attempt to make as much as possible from his departure is a return to the Premier League.

Furthermore, Aston Villa need a viable backup for Boubacar Kamara, who has faced regular injury concerns. Douglas Luiz is showing that he is capable of much more and efforts should be made to keep him at the club.

Manchester United are set to sign Eintracht Frankfurt’s Nathaniel Brown in the summer.

The left-back’s performances this season have attracted the attention of Manchester United and some other clubs.

Eintracht Frankfurt signed the 22-year-old from 1. FC Nürnberg in January 2024 and sent him back on loan until the end of the 2023/24 season.

Since returning to the Bundesliga team, he has played 67 matches and also scored six goals and 17 assists, of which three goals and six assists are from this season.

This season, he has operated as a left-back, left wing-back and even as a winger on some occasions. Therefore, the versatile player can contribute while attacking and defending. Sport Witness highlights some of his statistics per game in the Bundesliga this season.

His performances earned him a call-up from Germany in October 2025 and he made his senior debut in the same month.

Manchester United in the picture for Nathaniel Brown

Earlier in the season, Sport Witness Covered Claims Premier League sides including Germany and Arsenal nathaniel brown In their list. Last month, we broadcast news Manchester City and Liverpool are joining the race.

this week’s edition sportimage Brown has included interest from Manchester United, Real Madrid and Barcelona.

The report focuses on how Eintracht Frankfurt will need to raise funds if there is no European football next season. They are seventh in the table with 38 points, seven points behind sixth-placed Bayer Leverkusen.

German clubs have to cope without European football ‘Significantly higher than the €30m transfer surplus previously required.’

The only way to do this is to sell some of their players, and Brown and Nnamdi Collins are their biggest assets.

Eintracht Frankfurt invested €3m to sign Brown and now it will have no impact on the balance sheet. so it can be sold ‘Almost entirely booked as profit’ Even though Nuremberg retained the 10% sales clause.

The Bundesliga side are now demanding at least €60m. Manchester United, Real Madrid and Barcelona are his suitors, but it is unclear whether any of them are willing to spend €60m.

Brown’s contract, value and agent information

In February 2025, the fullback signed a contract extension until 2030. This along with the impressive performance of Nathaniel Brown has increased his value.

transfer market He is valued at €3m in December 2023 and €8m a year later. Last year, it increased by €15m [March] up to €22m [June] up to €30m [October] Up to €35 million in December.

The latest data has not been updated yet, but the steady rise suggests that Brown’s trajectory is upward. It remains to be seen whether that is enough for Manchester United to bet on him.

Norwich City’s Emiliano Marcondes is on the ‘brink’ of leaving the Championship side.

The 31-year-old first arrived in England when Brentford signed him on a free transfer in 2018.

He then moved to AFC Bournemouth again on a free transfer in July 2021. At the end of last season, Andoni Ierola released the attacking midfielder, who was without a club until he was signed by Norwich City in October.

Since moving to Carrow Road, the Dane has played 738 minutes, scoring one goal and two assists. His only goal came in the Canaries’ 3–1 league win over Queens Park Rangers in November.

Marcondes has an XG of 2.26 and XA of 1.78, he created two and missed four big chances in the championship. He made 0.6 key passes and 0.9 tackles per game for Norwich City.

The English club parted ways with Liam Manning and appointed Phillip Clement as his successor in November.

Marcondes agrees to leave Norwich City

The Dane played 337 minutes in eight matches under the former Rangers boss, before losing prominence. To put this into context, he only made one appearance this year, and it was against Stoke City on 4 January.

last month, the player said He is still considering a move after Norwich City tried to get rid of him in the winter market.

express Now report the latest on his immediate future and reveal he is ‘on the verge of leaving’ Clement’s side.

Both parties have agreed to part ways without a transfer fee involved. In other words, Norwich City will let him leave as a free agent.

The winter window in the UK closed on 2 February and he can still change clubs outside the transfer window. However, he will have to move to a league where the window is still open.

The Sweden and Norway windows are open until March 25 and 31, respectively. He is attracting interest from unnamed clubs from both countries. Emiliano Marcondes is interested in a move, as long as he finds a club that suits him.

Exit beneficial for Norwich City and player

Marcondes’ contract is until the end of this season transfer market It is now worth €800,000.

Clement is unlikely to change his stance on the former Bees man. Therefore, an exit, even if on a free transfer, suits both him and Norwich City.

He can then look for a new club to play for while the Championship side can save on his wages for the next three months.

It will be interesting to see where he ends up next.

Everton and Crystal Palace are monitoring Genk right-back Zakaria El OuhadiAhead of a potential €15 million summer transfer. However, leading Belgian analysts believe Premier League clubs should proceed with caution.

Although his offensive performances remain impressive, he believes his defensive shortcomings could become a major problem in the Premier League.

El Ouahdi underlined his attacking quality again at the weekend, scoring a brilliant winner against STVV to keep Genk the champions’ play-off hopes alive.

It was his sixth goal of the season, a brilliant return from the right-back to say the least. That performance and goal would certainly have been noted by English clubs watching him.

Everton and Crystal Palace are tracking Genk right back

Everton and Crystal Palace are among them A report at the end of February Explaining that he could be offered a €15m opportunity.

But according to Hein Vanhazebrouck and Frankie Van der Elst, publicity needs balance. They are talking to Sporz about the Genk star.

Vanhazebrouck didn’t hold back when assessing the 20-year-old’s readiness for a big step up.

Belgian analysts expressed concern over the Premier League

“If you want to be the best in the last 25 years, you not only have to be able to attack and score goals, but you also have to be able to defend,” He said.

“And that’s a problem with El Ouhadi. He allows himself to be neutralized too easily defensively. He also often makes the wrong decisions.”

However, he is willing to accept upside, labeling the defender “One of the better players offensively at his position”. But he warned that unless there was significant improvement, a move to a stronger league would expose their weaknesses.

How does El Ouahdi compare to Daniel Munoz

Frankie van der Elst echoed that sentiment, even questioning whether El Ouhadi is better than his predecessor Daniel Munoz. The Colombian is, undoubtedly, Crystal Palace’s current first choice.

“Is he better than Munoz?” he asked.

“He is a fantastic player and his goal was very efficient. He is a player who brings a lot to that team, but the sum of his parts does not make him the best full-back, not even in the history of Genk.”

This is a comparison Everton and Crystal Palace can take note of. Munoz adapted well and is now a Premier League star, but analysts question whether El Ouhady will be able to do the same.

Is a €15m move still worth the risk?

Despite their concerns, both analysts agreed on one thing; El Ouhadi will earn a big move away from Genk this summer.

“Hopefully he’ll make a good transfer,” Vanhazebrouck said.

“But I don’t think the top clubs are going to come and get him. Munoz is much bigger than him. In terms of tackling ability and aerial duels, which is not insignificant for a right-back. He will not be a target for the big clubs in England.”

This, potentially, puts Everton and Crystal Palace in the right bracket. Ambitious, mid-table sides looking for value and profit. In fact, This pair is presented as a better Optioned to full-back earlier this month.

What this means for Everton and Crystal Palace

Both clubs are looking for dynamic full-backs who can contribute in the final third. El Ouahdi fits the bill perfectly, but analysts’ warnings should be heeded.

At €15 million he could be a bargain, however, he would also be a project that requires time and security. His talent is undeniable, yet he is still raw and has weaknesses. Summer vacations seem inevitable, but the pundit duo wants couples to be aware of what they’re getting into.

Manchester United could benefit from Juventus’ interest in signing Marseille’s Mason Greenwood in the summer.

The 24-year-old progressed through Manchester United’s academy and earned a first-team place in 2018.

Greenwood left Manchester United permanently for Marseille in July 2024, but his Old Trafford career ended in January 2022.

The Red Devils suspended him in 2022 after allegations of domestic abuse and sexual violence surfaced. A key witness recanted and new evidence emerged. Therefore, the charges against him were dropped in February 2023.

He did not return to the Manchester United first team and the Premier League team sent him on loan to Getafe in September 2023. Description Here Explain Greenwood’s situation and his reaction before taking out the loan.

The Englishman returned to Old Trafford after the 2023/24 season, and Marseille took him on permanently for €25 million.

Juventus keen on Greenwood

Fast forward to March 2026 and Tuesday’s edition gazzetta dello sport There is a report on the attacker.

Juventus’ immediate focus is on signing Luciano Spalletti to a new contract before Easter. The manager has made a few requests for the summer, and is also focused on improving in attack.

Dusan Vlahovic’s contract expires in June, and the Serie A side are working on extending it. Spalletti still wants another forward and this is where Greenwood comes into the picture. In fact, he is their favorite target.

The interest from the Turin club is not new as they had kept an eye on him before his move to France in 2024.

Given that Marseille are demanding €50m, a deal will not be easy. The main reason for this is that a large portion of it will go to Manchester United, who have retained a high sell-on clause.

Manchester United clause details

The Italian newspaper made no mention of the exact percentage of the Red Devils’ sell-on clause.

Last July, Sports Witness Covered claims from France That Manchester United would receive 50% of the profits from his sale.

This is likely to be 50% of the profit earned by Marseille rather than the total fee. Either way, the sale of Greenwood could help the Old Trafford club make more money.

Tottenham Hotspur beat Real Madrid in the race to sign Luka Vuckovic from Hajduk Split.

In September 2023, Tottenham reach £12m [€13.9m] The defender agreed a deal with Hajduk Split to arrive in London last summer.

The Premier League side sent him on a season-long loan to Hamburg SV in August 2025. The move has been a good one for the centre-back, who has established himself in the Bundesliga.

He has played 2,280 minutes in 25 matches so far this season and has scored five goals and one assist.

The Tottenham-owned player has been impressing in Hamburg and below are his stats per game in the Bundesliga.

• Interception: 1.2
• Tackle: 0.8
• Ball Recovery: 4.3
• Ground duels won: 2.1
• Aerial duel won: 5.5

Before Hajduk Split agreed with Tottenham, Real Madrid made progress to sign the Croatia international.

Tottenham beats Real Madrid in signings

is according to Hamburger AbendblattWho report why the La Liga side failed to sign him.

The newspaper recently received several pictures of the 19-year-old player’s visit to Real Madrid.

His brother, Mario, mother, Sanja and agent Damir Smoljan met his then manager, Carlo Ancelotti, and compatriot Luka Modrić. The latter left the Spanish club for AC Milan last summer.

‘Everything’ points to an agreement with Real Madrid, who offered Hajduk Split €6m plus €6m in bonuses, and discussed personal terms. However, things changed after Luka Vuckovic’s squad returned to Croatia from their trip to Madrid.

Real Madrid’s interest was leaked by Tomislav Kasalo, a member of his family and lawyer, in a pub in Split.

At the time, Casalo also did business with Pini Zahavi, who kept him informed about Los Blancos’ progress. The pair hatched a plan to stop her move to Spain.

It worked as Zahavi secured Spurs’ offer while the lawyer convinced the Vuckovic family. The latter had handled Mario’s doping ban case. He charged no fees and helped Zahavi secure Luca as a client.

What’s next for Luka Vuckovic?

His rise in Hamburg has attracted the attention of other clubs including Barcelona and Bayern Munich. zahawi recently said A decision on his client’s future will be made at the end of the season.

last week, Luca refused to discuss his future and revealed that he has a contract with the North London club until 2030.

transfer market He is now valued at €40m, an increase of €22m from October 2025. It signals his rapid development, and Spurs have to make a decision about his future in the summer.

Real Madrid, for their part, will now regret losing the defender to Tottenham. It is unclear whether the La Liga side will return for the Croatian at any time in the future.

Denzel Dumfries has emerged as a target for Liverpool over the past few months. Inter Milan are now attempting to lure the Dutchman away from the Reds.

In the winter transfer window, sports witness Covered the Anfield club’s approach to wing-back.

Even though Dumfries was injured at the time, Liverpool were approached for his signature. Inter CEO Beppe Marotta also confirmed this and the wing-back was seen as a short-term replacement for Jérémy Frimpong, who soon returned from his injury.

More recently, Corriere dello Sport made it clear That Arne Slott’s team will return to the field for Dumfries in the summer. They are attracted by his €25m release clause, which is seen as a bargain for a Premier League team.

Now, it seems the Nerazzurri are trying their best to tie down Dumfries to a new deal.

€25m release clause can be removed

The Interista The report adds that the Netherlands international is seen as one of the best players at Inter. This was made abundantly clear in the club’s 1-1 draw against Atalanta at the weekend.

The Nerazzurri now believe that Dumfries cannot be easily replaced. His current contract expires in the summer of 2028 and Inter will now try to renew it until 2029.

The Dutchman currently earns around €4m per season and a new deal would take it to around €5m per season.

Furthermore, the Serie A league leaders want to waive his €25m release clause. They want to have more control over the ex-PSV player’s situation and ensure that Liverpool cannot sign him for such a cheap fee.

It is believed that Inter are keen to treat him with great importance and give him what he deserves.

Liverpool can do better than Dumfries

It’s fair to say that the Reds still haven’t fully replaced Trent Alexander-Arnold. Frimpong has converted from a full-back to a winger, showcasing his trademark ability to carry the ball forward.

In a way, Dumfries is exactly that. He has never really been a technical outlet and his best performances have come as a right wing receiver. He’s not a creator by any means and perhaps, Frimpong is better at carrying the ball forward.

Inter usually play Dumfries to his strengths and that is why he is so important to them.

He could become a problem for Liverpool and weaknesses could be exposed. He is 29 years old and possibly looking for one last big contract at the highest level. Talk of a move to Anfield would only help him and his teammates, which is probably why this topic keeps coming up again and again.

Birmingham City’s Marvin Dakash is attracting interest from Real Sociedad, AEK Athens and MLS.

The striker joined Birmingham City from Werder Bremen in August 2025 for €2m.

He has scored 11 goals and provided two assists in 32 appearances for Birmingham City.

Daksch was downgraded from the Bundesliga to the Championship to join the Blues. He scored nine goals and 11 assists in 36 appearances in all competitions for the German club last season. He has already scored two more goals than last season.

However, his overall statistics in his first season in England were not as good as his previous season at Werder Bremen. Below is the table [first is from Birmingham City] Comparing per game data from this and last season.

• Expected goals per season: 8.99 – 10.11
• Expected assists per season: 2.37 – 9.06
• Big chances made: 1 – 17
• Cross: 0.1 – 1.4
• Successful dribble: 0.1 – 0.2
• Ground duel won: 0.3 – 1.0
• Aerial duel won: 0.8 – 0.6

His performances in the second division in England did not go unnoticed. is according to imageWhich covers the latest on Real Sociedad and AEK Athens and player action.

Dachsch’s improvements are helping the city of Birmingham

The 32-year-old has worked intensively on his fitness in recent months to adjust to English football. He even changed his diet and training plan accordingly. This is now benefiting Birmingham City and is attracting other clubs as well.

Real Sociedad and Greek clubs have come forward with inquiries about the German. There is no indication whether the contact was made from Chris Davis’s side, his agent, or both.

Apart from these two clubs, unnamed MLS sides are also interested. This shows that Daksh ‘remains a popular player in the market.’

In the winter market, two unnamed clubs tried to bring him back to Germany. However, Birmingham City refused to cooperate, and it is not even decided whether they will return in the summer.

Construction Status: ‘But now the question arises again: will Dakash remain loyal to Birmingham – or will he move again in the summer? One thing is certain: with his performances the striker is once again attracting the attention of many clubs.

If interest continues to grow, both club and player will have to make a decision regarding his future in the summer.

German contract, price and agent information

Birmingham City secure him on a contract until 2028 transfer marketHis value has fallen from €3m in October to €2m now.

If a sale does happen, the English club could demand a fee in excess of €2m. Going out in the summer also depends on the player’s stance, which has not been clarified yet.

Dakash is represented by Germany-based agency EMG Mundial. They currently manage 61 players, 36 of which are in the top divisions.

Nottingham Forest could attempt to sign Inter Milan’s Davide Fratesi in the summer, following the January failure.

The midfielder could not complete the move to the City Ground, and since the winter market, the Nottingham Forest target has played 167 minutes in six Serie A matches.

His situation at San Siro has not improved after failing to move to the English club.

To put this into context, he has played 1,058 minutes in 28 matches and that includes three starts each in the league and Champions League this season.

Fratesi’s performance appears to have dropped compared to last season, especially in the league. Below are the statistics per game and the second digit is for the current season.

• expected goal [xG] Per Season: 4.10 – 1.75
• Expected assists per season: 0.82 – 0.15
• Clearance: 0.5 – 0.2
• Successful dribbles: 0.3 – 0.2
• Ground Duels Won: 2.0 – 1.5
• Aerial duel won: 0-4 – 0.2

Statistics show that he has not performed as well as he did last season, yet there remains interest in him from Italy and abroad.

nottingham forest will move away in january

calciomercato.it There is a report on the Italy international and it covers Nottingham Forest’s unsuccessful January approach.

Sean Dyche was the manager at the City ground when the Premier League team made strong progress. The Reds replaced the former Everton boss with Vitor Pereira in February.

Nottingham Forest ‘did practically everything’ to secure the services of the 26-year-old. However, the move failed as the Nerazzurri could not complete a contract with Liverpool’s Curtis Jones.

In February, Fratesi’s agent giuseppe risso confirmed This is the reason for the failure and the outlet states this again.

Cristian Chivu’s side are planning to make changes to their squad and Fratesi will ‘definitely say goodbye’ after this season.

His aim is to remain in Italy where Juventus remains an option, along with AS Roma, Napoli and Lazio. The Turin club’s interest does not appear to be ‘fading’ mainly due to their manager Luciano Spalletti.

Inter Milan, for their part, are not keen to let him join another Serie A club, especially a rival like Juventus. This will be possible only when there is an attractive offer.

A move abroad, particularly to the Premier League, remains a possible scenario. Chivu’s side could resume talks with Nottingham Forest provided they remain in the top flight. Pereira’s side are 17th in the table, level with 18th-placed West Ham United.

Fratesi’s price could be less than €30m and the final fee will be clarified in the summer.

Midfielder’s contract, price and agent information

The player is represented by GR Sports, led by Italian agent Giuseppe Risso. His client list mainly consists of Italian players such as Newcastle United’s Sandro Tonali and the Reds’ Lorenzo Lucca.

Nottingham Forest worked with an agent to sign Lucca on loan from Napoli in the last window. This may help them to renegotiate Fratesi’s transfer, as long as demotion can be avoided.

Fratesi’s contract is until 2028, and transfer market He is worth €28m. This could decline further if he remains a backup player at Inter Milan.

Sevilla sporting director Antonio Cordon has expressed his desire to keep Newcastle United goalkeeper Odysseus Vlachodimos beyond this season.

Greece international arrives at St James’ Park from Nottingham Forest for £20million [€23.18m] In July 2024.

Eddie Howe limited him to one appearance in his first season and Newcastle United allowed the stopper to join Sevilla on loan in August 2025.

Vlachodimos initially sat on the bench before making his debut against CA Alavés the following month.

Since then, he has been the No. 1 for the La Liga team, keeping four clean sheets and conceding 41 goals in 25 matches. Below are his statistics per game from his loan spell with the Andalusian club so far.

• Accepted target: 1.7
• Penalty saved: 1/10
• Savings per game: 3.0
• Goals awarded inside the box: 37
• Goals awarded outside the box: 3
• Saves from inside the box: 54
• Savings from outer box: 17

Sevilla will struggle financially to complete a permanent deal, and the stopper will have to return to the Premier League team after this season. The Magpies will then have to decide their future in the summer.

Newcastle United man wanted by many clubs

On Sunday, the Newcastle United-owned player conceded five goals in the league defeat to Barcelona. Ahead of the clash at Camp Nou, Corden spoke with DAZN in Spain let’s go my sevilla fc Has released his comments.

Former Sevilla and Aston Villa director Monchi appeared as a commentator for DAZN and interviewed Corden.

He specifically asked Corden if Vlachodimos would be at Sevilla after this season. While responding to this, the director talked about the Greek’s transfer desire and the competition he faces to retain him.

“We would like to keep him. We will see, he is very happy in the city. It is a city that is important for every player who comes here. Nobody wants to leave, and he certainly intends to stay, but we know that his club knows he is doing very well,” He said.

“There are also big clubs in Europe who are pursuing him, and well, we will have to wait and see.”

Vlachodimos’ contract, price and agent information

Despite Corden’s latest confession, The 31-year-old declined to comment Last week when he was asked about his future after this season.

transfer market The stopper, who has a contract with the Magpies, is worth €4 million until 2028. This, coupled with his performances for Sevilla, would make him an option in the summer market.

However, Howe’s side could demand a fee far higher than €4m, especially since other unnamed European clubs are keen.

This would make it complicated for Sevilla to retain Vlachodimos, unless he insists on a new deal. On the open market, Newcastle United should be able to get a better fee than what Sevilla are willing to pay.

He is represented by a German agency, Fair Sport GmbH, headed by Joannis Koukoutrigas.

Nicolo Picilli’s last few months at AS Roma have been impressive. The midfielder is now attracting the attention of Tottenham.

In the first campaign, the Italian Giallorossi seemed to be on the periphery of the first-team. By the end of December, he had played only three times in Serie A, but that changed after scoring two goals against Stuttgart in the Europa League.

This led to Gian Piero Gasperini making greater use of the midfielder, as Picilli started against Juventus and Genoa after scoring against Cremonese.

The 21-year-old is also in the running for a call-up to the Italian national team, which shows how far he has come in a short time this season.

Tottenham’s interest in the player is increasing asromalive Providing some key details.

tottenham team is pisili

The outlet has made it clear that Juve have been pursuing the young midfielder for some time now. He now faces stiff competition from Spurs, who are believed to have invested €20m in January.

Roma rejected the approach but Tottenham are keen on the player.

This could lead to the reigning Europa League champions offering Destiny Udogi in a potential swap for Pisili.

It is believed that if this deal goes through, it will be a ‘double insult’ for the Bianconeri. The main reason for this is that they are not only keen on Pisili, but also see Udogi as a target for the summer.

The talk of Tottenham seems exaggerated

While there is no doubt about Picilli’s ability in the final third as a midfielder, the reports seem exaggerated.

The main reason for this is that there is no reason for Tottenham to offer €20m for a player who was not even a regular. The Italian played more than 40 times in all competitions last season but his stock has already fallen in the current campaign.

Furthermore, Udogi’s value is probably higher than the Roma talent. A straight swap deal involving the two players would only go as a loss for Spurs, who should ideally value the left-back at more than €30m.

Taking everything into consideration, ASRomaLive’s report appears to be an attempt to promote the midfielder in the best possible light.

Juventus may have an unexpected ally in their pursuit of Bernardo Silva: midfielder Francisco Conceição.

The 23-year-old has admitted that he would recommend his Portuguese teammate to Juventus if the club asked him for help.

His comments follow reports from Turkiye which claim Galatasaray are ready to offer Silva €15m-a-year to join this summer. Galatasaray have scheduled a second round of talks with Silva’s agents in April.

Silva’s contract at Manchester City expires at the end of the season. All signs suggest he is ready to end his trophy-laden nine-year stay at the Etihad.

Galatasaray’s €15m offer changes the landscape

Galatasaray have moved aggressively to gain an edge over their European rivals.

Reports today claim the Turkish giants are heading towards a second phase of talks with plans for €15m per year plus bonuses.

Few European clubs are believed to be willing or able to match that level of wages. Juventus is one of those clubs.

Juventus scouts and officials kept a close eye on Silva for several months.

They reportedly look at the Manchester City star A player who can change his team Next season. Galatasaray’s financial pressures may now force Juventus to rethink their strategy.

One potential ace up their sleeve is Conceição himself. The midfielder has made it clear that he is ready to be involved if the need arises.

“I know Bernardo very well, I know he is strong, but we have not talked about this,” sport mediaset Report him saying this.

“I don’t know if Juventus would want to buy him or not, but if he asked me anything I would tell him that Juventus is a great club and we want to win here. Every team in the world would want to have Bernardo Silva.”

Why will Juventus believe they still have a chance

Despite Galatasaray’s financial strength, Juventus will remain confident of getting Silva’s signature this summer.

Salary won’t be the only factor in Silva’s decision this summer. Juventus may be able to convince him given their sporting projects, Champions League football and perhaps familiarity with Portuguese players like Conceição.

The pair have played together for Portugal, starring in matches during and since Euro 2024. Super-agent Jorge Mendes represents both players. That connection could prove important.

With Silva’s agents set to hold talks with Galatasaray in April, Juventus know they must act immediately – and Conceição could still play a decisive role.

Fulham have been urged to exercise caution as they step up their interest in PSV Eindhoven striker Ricardo Pepi. Former PSV striker Rene Viscal has warned that Pepi’s transfer to the Premier League may not be straightforward.

Fulham have been tracking Pepi for several months as they look to strengthen their attack. Marco Silva’s side were initially relegated in the summer, before reviving that interest in the January transfer window.

PSV rejected a late move from Fulham in January, but reports suggest discussions could resume ahead of a potential summer deal. In fact, A report earlier this week His transfer to Fulham was said to be ‘likely’.

“A natural striker” – why Pepi appeals to Fulham

Viskal understands why Fulham are keen on the American forward. He was quick to highlight Pepi’s greatest strength: his intuitive movement in the penalty area.

“It’s very hard to train what Pepi does,” he told Eindhoven’s Dagblad.

“He has the gift that real strikers need. Getting into position perfectly in or around the penalty area is something you should have naturally.”

Despite praising Pepi’s qualities, Viscal believes Fulham should be cautious in assuming his Eredivisie form will translate seamlessly to England.

“The game is played very openly in the Netherlands and they can benefit from that,” he said.

“In England, you have to deal with a completely different intensity, and the defenders are much stronger physically. It remains to be seen whether he can handle it.”

Past struggles show why Fulham must manage expectations

According to Viskal, Pepi’s difficult tenure with German club Augsburg should not be held against him. But he believes it underlines how challenging adaptation can be.

“You can’t judge him based on his time at Augsburg,” he said. “He was young, and he needed time to adapt to European football.”

He understands why Fulham remain keen and thinks the move could still be worthwhile if handled correctly. As far as he is concerned, such a deal only works if expectations are kept realistic.

“Fulham is not a club that plays at the absolute top level,” he said.

“That route is probably more logical than going for a very big name, where if you don’t score a few times you are immediately questioned.”

Risk vs reward for Fulham

Ultimately, Ricardo Pepi represents both promise and risk for Fulham.

It is difficult to ignore his natural instincts in the box, but the step up to the Premier League remains challenging, especially for a striker who is still finding consistency after injuries and previous setbacks.

If Fulham go ahead with a summer move, patience and realistic expectations will be key, because while Pepi has the tools to succeed, England could prove to be his toughest test yet.

Arsenal’s decision to allow Jakub Kiwior to leave last summer is now causing movement elsewhere in Europe.

The Polish international has struggled to establish himself as a regular starter under Mikel Arteta. Nevertheless, he remained a reliable team option. In three seasons at the Emirates, Kivior made 68 appearances in all competitions.

Still, the centre-back wanted more consistent minutes. This led to his move to Portugal, where Porto secured him on loan with a buyout obligation worth approximately €23m (£20m) including bonuses.

Since arriving in the Primeira Liga, the 26-year-old has regained momentum. His performances have immediately put him back on the radar of clubs looking for a left-footed centre-back.

Juventus is taking a closer look at Kivior

Juventus plans defensive adjustments for next season tuttosport. The club believes that the back line needs a higher overall level, and left-footed central defenders are rare in the current market.

In that context, Kiwior has emerged as a serious alternative. The Italian side have already watched him in Portugal, with sporting director Marco Ottolini recently traveling to evaluate the player in person.

Kivior is not new to Juventus’ radar. The club tracked him early in his career, including a time spent at Spezia, before Arsenal signed him.

Porto are confident about the value of their assets. Having agreed a deal worth around €23m (£20m), the Portuguese club are believed to be looking at €35m (£30m) as a realistic starting point for negotiations.

This valuation reflects both the defender’s profile and the limited supply of left-footed centre-backs in the European market.

Why is Juventus’ increasing interest?

Kiwior’s rise in Portugal has played a major role in Juventus’ new focus. Since arriving at Porto, the defender has get into routine quickly In the starting eleven during seasons where the club has topped the Primeira Liga table.

The Polish international has already made over 30 appearances in all competitions this season, contributing in both defensive and build-up play.

According to FootyStats data, he averages more than 4 clearances and almost 2 interceptions per game, while maintaining a pass accuracy above 90% – numbers that underline his comfort in possession.

Those qualities have been particularly valuable to Porto. The team has one of the strongest defensive records in the league, averaging less than a goal per match, and Kiviour’s role in the back line has repeatedly drawn praise in the Portuguese press.

he’s also heading towards one €4m extra on his contract If they eventually win the league trophy.

His profile also fits the modern centre-back mold that clubs are increasingly preferring. Comfortable carrying the ball forward and capable of launching attacks from deep, he has added a progressive dimension to Porto’s build-up.

His mix of defensive reliability and distribution explains why clubs are taking notice again after his quiet tenure at Arsenal.

Arsenal still have financial interests

Even after Kiviour’s exit, Arsenal still have a small stake in any future transfers.

Sport Witness reports in August 2025 The agreement with Porto includes a clause of €2m (£1.7m) which would be payable to the Gunners if the defender is later sold.

That means any move – including a potential switch to Juventus – will still bring modest financial returns to the Premier League side.

Meanwhile, Kiwior’s personal situation also increases the urgency. With Poland pursuing major international fixtures and World Cup ambitions, regular playing time remains crucial.

If Juventus proceed with their interest, the defender’s next move could come sooner than expected.

NOTTINGHAM Forest will make a fresh attempt to bring Napoli’s Mathias Oliveira to the Premier League.

is according to naples areaNottingham Forest say they have not forgotten about the 28-year-old.

The Reds showed serious interest in the left-back in the winter market and made efforts to secure his services.

On January 22, Khel Witness broadcast news Nottingham Forest submitted an opening bid of €15m. The Serie A side turned it down and requested €20m.

Later that month, Sport Witness covered Italy’s claim The English club want to offer €18 million. However, neither move ever materialized during the last window.

Nottingham Forest are not giving up

The Reds scored tries when Sean Dyche was in charge. Vitor Pereira replaced the former Everton boss at the City Ground in February.

Despite the managerial changes, Nottingham Forest’s plans for Oliveira have not changed. In fact, they are not giving up and will continue to pursue him until the summer.

Nottingham Forest made repeated contact with Antonio Conte’s side in January asking for the required fee to sign the fullback.

Area Napoli have now said that Pereira’s side will ‘try again’ to secure the services of the Uruguay international. However, they agreed to postpone talks until the summer as Napoli could not find a replacement in the winter market.

summer transfer possible

The South American could be the Naples club’s ‘transfer man’, indicating that Napoli are in favor of a move on him after this season.

He has fans in Spain and England, where Nottingham Forest are still keen. ‘The idea of ​​going to the Premier League is attractive’ for the player.

Our take: PL stay key to Nottingham Forest

Pereira’s side need to avoid relegation to have a chance of signing the Napoli defender.

Nottingham Forest are now 17th in the table, level on points with 18th-placed West Ham United and one point behind 16th-placed Tottenham Hotspur.

Should they remain in the top division, Oliveira may consider a move to the City Ground. Otherwise, he is unlikely to join the Reds.

Alisson’s contract at Liverpool expires in 2027, raising doubts about his future at Anfield.

The goalkeeper is currently injured but remains an important part of the team. He has played 32 times in all competitions and is clearly ahead of Giorgi Mamardashvili in the pecking order between the sticks.

His profile is attracting attention in Italy sports witness Covering interest from Inter Milan and Juventus. Both teams are looking for a new goalkeeper amid growing doubts over Yann Sommer and Michel Di Gregorio.

It now looks like both clubs may have to wait, with the 33-year-old now keen to stay at Liverpool in the summer.

Alisson wants Liverpool to stay

corriere dello sport Today report that the Brazilian is Inter Milan’s ideal choice for the goalkeeper position, with Sommer’s contract expiring in the summer.

Due to Alisson’s experience playing in Italy, he is seen as someone who could be promoted to the position.

The problem lies in the player’s own intentions, as he is keen to stay at Liverpool in the summer. His contract expires in 2027 but it is considering him staying till the end of the contract.

This would allow him to receive wages closer to his current salary of €6m per season and potentially remain in the Premier League.

The goalkeeper’s stance could prove to be a problem for Inter who need an immediate solution, with Guglielmo Vicario also a target. Even if they aimed to land Alisson for free in 2027, they would already have a first-choice goalkeeper by then.

Our opinion on Alisson’s Liverpool situation

The experienced player’s stay at Anfield will only be positive for Liverpool. This will also allow Mamardashvili to settle in better and gradually become first choice. He is getting some minutes in Alisson’s absence but throwing him into the mix as first choice could be a risk next season.

Considering his legend status at the club, the Brazil international’s presence could prove useful.

Mohamed Salah could depart in the summer and Liverpool will not want to lose another experienced player in the squad at the same time. That’s why keeping Allison out for a season could help him make changes gradually rather than starting the process dramatically.

Newcastle United remains one of the Premier League clubs after AllenBut Palmeiras are now moving to strengthen their position by agreeing a new contract for the midfielder.

Interest from England has surrounded the 21-year-old for several weeks. Newcastle have been repeatedly linked with the player and were Recently it has been reported that an envoy has been sent to Brazil To follow the situation closely.

Liverpool is also mentioned Recent coverage has featured fans, but journalist Andre Hernan has also hinted that Manchester United have joined the group of clubs keeping an eye on Allan.

Against that backdrop, Palmeiras appear to be working to protect their position ahead of the next transfer window.

Palmeiras is preparing another contract renewal

But I am saying ESPN Brazil’s live program Fala a FonteJournalist Bruno Andrade reported that Palmeiras have recently held fresh talks about renewing Allan’s contract.

The midfielder has already had his deal renewed several times in a short period. In 2024 his contract was extended to 2027, and in 2025 the club extended it further to 2029. Now Palmeiras is discussing another upgrade.

According to Andrade, positive progress was made at a meeting last week. And he said the current negotiations could result in a longer contract and better financial terms for the player.

He said: “There were meetings last week and discussions were very positive regarding another renewal. We still need to confirm whether this contract will be extended to 2030 and whether it only includes a salary increase or a higher release clause.”

The journalist also stressed that Palmeiras wanted to reward the player and at the same time protect themselves from increasing interest from abroad.

European interests are driving Palmeiras’ strategy

The renewed talks are taking place in the context of strong European interest, including from Newcastle United. According to the ESPN discussion, Palmeiras has already rejected the offer The price for Allan is estimated to be between €30m and €35m (£25.7m-£30m).

Andrade confirmed that if Palmeiras ultimately decides to sell, the valuation would need to climb well above that range.

He said: “When Palmeiras thinks about selling Allan – which is not in the board’s plans right now – the number being discussed is upwards of €40m.”

Even that price may not come as a single fixed payment. The panel suggested a deal worth around €40m (£34.3m) would include performance bonuses rather than a guarantee fee.

Andrade explained: “According to what people say in the market, €40m would probably be in a structure with just fixed money and bonuses. Something like €30m plus €10m, or €20m plus €20m.”

Why could the next transfer window be decisive?

Journalist Felipe Silva said the contract renewal strategy also serves another purpose: strengthening Palmeiras’ negotiating power ahead of the summer window.

He said: “This kind of renewal helps both parties. The club protects itself from interest and the player becomes more expensive.”

Silva pointed out that raising wages and extending contracts automatically increases the price paid to European clubs.

he adds: “If the player earns

The journalist also suggested that the next transfer window could bring serious offers. He said: “In the middle of the year, there will be heavy clubs coming to try to sign Alan.”

Our View: Palmeiras’ leverage is increasing

Palmeiras’ strategy is becoming increasingly clear. With Newcastle United and other Premier League clubs circling, the Brazilian side are looking to increase Allan’s value ahead of the next transfer window.

Extending the player’s contract gives Palmeiras a strong advantage and ensures that any future negotiations will start with a high valuation.

It also buys the Brazilian club time. They could keep a key player for their playing project and wait to see how far European clubs are willing to go once the next transfer window opens.

Ipswich Town loanee Arizente Muric has performed well during his loan at Sassuolo this season.

This prompted Italian club CEO Giovanni Carnevali to publicly praise the goalkeeper. He also made clear his intention to sign permanently in the summer.

sports witness Those comments were covered up, and Sassuolo’s assessment of the player remained unclear at the time.

However, circumstances may have taken a drastic turn for the player as he made a serious error in stoppage time against Lazio on Monday. This did not give Sassuolo a point, as the Roma team won a dramatic victory.

This has led to a change in attitudes surrounding the player. Doubts are emerging over a permanent deal with Ipswich Town.

Muric needs to change things

sassuolo news Note that Muric finds himself at a crossroads in his Sassuolo adventure. His early performances were crucial in the Neroverdi’s form and rise up the table, but that form has now faded.

Second-choice Stefano Turati is being considered by Fabio Grosso as a likely starter, with Muric’s position seen as a matter of ‘gross uncertainty’. The situation is at a point where disappointment is overshadowing the good work he did earlier in the campaign.

As a result, there are doubts over a permanent deal with Ipswich Town.

Grosso has an option to buy for €10m and it is seen as a sum that would make Sassuolo think twice about the investment. Carnevali – As mentioned before, there is a fan following but now everything will depend on how Kosova performs in the remainder of the international campaign.

Our take on Muric’s Ipswich Town future

It looks like Sassuolo are set to stay in Serie A and Kieran McKenna’s side could earn promotion to the Premier League. There are positives ahead for both clubs.

Muric has Premier League experience and has also impressed in Serie A. That’s why if the Italian side do not exercise the option to buy the 27-year-old, Ipswich Town could keep him in their squad for next season.

The overreaction to poor performance may be an attempt to plant a narrative that €10m is too much. Despite this, the Championship club will be confident of the valuation and the ability to obtain money from elsewhere if desired.

Such transfer games are not unheard of among Serie A clubs. Options attached to debt deals are often seen as a starting point for negotiations rather than a fixed value. This is especially true when on loan from England, and Ipswich Town are set to have the experience of many Premier League clubs.

Arsenal have set their sights on bringing RB Leipzig’s Castello Lukeba to the Premier League this summer.

This is according to a reliable French newspaper TeamWho cover Arsenal’s interest in a summer transfer and their stance on the centre-back.

The France international progressed through the ranks of Lyon’s academy. He spent two years with the Ligue 1 side’s first team before leaving for Leipzig in August 2023.

He soon cemented his place in the Bundesliga team and made regular appearances when available for selection.

The defender has made 95 appearances for Leipzig in all competitions, 23 of which have come this season.

Arsenal official chased Lukeba

Last month, the Gunners sent a scout to Germany to watch Castello Lukeba live in action against Borussia Dortmund. The match ended in a 2–2 draw and the left-footed defender played the full 90 minutes.

It appears that Arsenal officials have gathered positive reports about the Frenchman. This would have convinced Mikel Arteta’s side to make the necessary moves to try to bring him to the Emirates in the summer.

L’Equipe’s headline suggests the north London club are ‘working’ on signing Lukeba. The newspaper reports that the Gunners have started discussions. It has not been made clear whether contact was made with his agent in Leipzig or both.

The Frenchman is aiming for a summer exit

As things stand, Arsenal have not submitted any offer to the player or his club.

Lukeba is expected to leave the German club after this season and the Premier League and La Liga are his preferred destinations.

That would delight Arsenal, provided they decide to make a further move to secure his services.

Last year, Sports Witness disseminated claims From France that he has a €90m release clause. The price has been reduced as Leipzig are now expected to collect between €60-70m for Leukeba in the next window. transfer market He is now worth €45 million.

Our Opinion: Lukeba’s interest could be a clear sign

Arteta now has William Saliba, Gabriel Magalhaes, Cristian Mosquera and Piero Hincapie as his four centre-backs.

However, the manager has used the Ecuadorian primarily as a left-back rather than in the center of defence.

The interest could be an indication that he would replace Hincapie in the centre-back position. If that happens, the South American will move into the left-back slot.

Christian Norgaard has spoken this week about Mikel Arteta wanting to change his position from a midfielder to a defender, suggesting the manager feels there is a gap there.

L’Équipe is a reliable French newspaper, but it is worth considering where they obtained this information. Castello Luceba was born in Lyon and is represented by BS Group International, which has clients almost exclusively from France.

Given Arsenal’s potential need, this could be an attempt to link a client to him. The coming months will reveal what the Gunners’ true intentions are.

Liverpool star Alexis McAllister says he is keen to return to Argentina at some stage in his playing career.

The Argentinian international talks to streamer La Agusaneta Planeta Boca Juniors Has released his comments on future plans.

The Liverpool player came through the ranks of Argentinos Juniors’ youth system. He broke into their first team in 2016 and went on loan with Boca Juniors.

McAllister moved to Europe for the first time when Brighton & Hove Albion signed him in 2019.

Three years ago, Liverpool brought him to Anfield from their Premier League rivals for a reported fee of £35m [€40.5m].

Liverpool player has 2 clubs in mind

The 27-year-old has made it clear that he can no longer think only of himself when making decisions about his future.

He has to take care of his family, which is why the World Cup winner wants to return to his country.

“I would love to go back to Argentina. But, well, I become a father, and you start to prioritize a lot of things. Maybe it’s not so selfish to focus on what I want,” He said.

The midfielder is clear that if he returns to Argentina, his priority will be to play for one of his former clubs.

He prefers Argentinos Juniors over Boca Juniors and has given the main reason for this.

Mac Allister explained: “But yes, I would love to return to Argentinos Juniors because my father and my brothers all grew up there, and we are grateful. And then, obviously, to Boca at some point.”

Planeta Boca Juniors say the Liverpool player is well aware that he will not be returning to Argentina in the near future. This will be taken into account only in ‘a few years’.

Mac Allister statistics, price and agent

transfer market The South American is worth €80 million, with a contract until 2028. He has been regularly linked with Real Madrid over the years.

In November, his father and agent, carlos said Nice to read the report of Los Blancos’ interest. Last month, Mac Allister senior insisted his son is happy with Arne Slott’s team amid Real Madrid claims.

Alexis recently said that there are no renewal talks ongoing with the Reds. If an extension is not agreed in the coming months there will be reports that he will be lured away from Liverpool.

The Argentine played 112 matches for Brighton, scoring 20 goals and nine assists. During his time at Amex, transfer market Explain that his valuation increased from €11m to €65m.

At Liverpool, the midfielder scored 19 goals and 17 assists in 119 matches. His highest value was €100m in May 2025 and it fell to €85m in December and €80m this month.

Manchester City have held a meeting with members of Barcelona’s presidential candidate Victor Font regarding Erling Haaland.

This is as of Thursday’s edition gameWho leaked information about the details of the meeting in Madrid.

Manchester City suffered a 3-0 Champions League defeat to Real Madrid at the Santiago Bernabeu on Wednesday. Federico Valverde scored a hat-trick, which greatly helped his position at Real Madrid.

The Premier League team’s CEO, Ferran Soriano, and their sporting director, Hugo Viana, traveled to the Spanish capital for the match. This is normal, as officials from clubs participating in UEFA matches often meet and dine together.

However, they do not usually meet rival clubs.

what’s different this time

Barcelona is in the midst of an election campaign for its new president. Current incumbent Joan Laporta called elections because he wants to consolidate his power at the club.

Victor Font is his main challenger and, as has happened in Barcelona and Real Madrid presidential elections throughout history, he is making big transfers to attract the fans’ votes.

Carles Planchart and Javier Aguilar are members of Font’s team and both met two Manchester City officials at the Four Seasons hotel in Madrid on Wednesday.

The main topic of talks between the two sides in Madrid was the Norway international. Securing a way to sign him would obviously bring votes.

Last year, Barça president Jon Laporta said “Nothing is impossible,” he said when asked about the possibility of bringing Haaland to the Camp Nou.

He is contesting again and will be up against some candidates including Font. The latter is also aiming to sign the Manchester City striker for Barcelona.

Planchart and Aguilar spoke to Soriano and Viana about a ‘preferential option’ to buy Haaland in the future.

Font does not intend to sign the 25-year-old in the summer. For now, they have only explored this possibility if Haaland decides to leave the Etihad in the coming years. Soriano and Viana’s reactions are not mentioned.

Planchart knows the former Borussia Dortmund star well from his time at Manchester City. He was part of Pep Guardiola’s backroom staff at Barcelona, ​​Bayern Munich and the Premier League team between 2007 and 2025.

Journalist Carlos Monfort covered this report for the Catalan newspaper. he took xformerly known as Twitter, to share a video of Soriano and Viana leaving the hotel from the said meeting. Everything is adding up to the hype.

Our opinion: Manchester City need not panic

Barcelona’s elections will be held on March 15. Font needs to be elected as the new president in order to consider signing Haaland in the future.

Even if Font wins the election, the La Liga winners’ financial situation is unlikely to allow them to sign Haaland in the summer.

The Norwegian’s contract expires in 2034 transfer market He is worth €200 million. Barca or any other club would need a big sum to lure him away from Manchester City.

Meanwhile, recent claims from Spain state that the Catalan club are considering Atletico Madrid’s Julian Alvarez. Therefore, Guardiola’s side will not have to worry about Barcelona potentially launching an attack for Haaland in the next window.

The Norwegian arrived at the Etihad in 2022 and has been the main striker for Guardiola since then.

He has played 186 matches for Manchester City and scored 153 goals. Of those impressive stats, there are 28 assists and 29 goals and seven assists this season.

Haaland is represented by Rafaela Pimenta, who currently has no other clients in Barcelona. As one of the top agents in world football, moving a client from Manchester City to Camp Nou would be within his capabilities.

However, possibly not this summer.

FC Porto winger Oscar Pietuszewski has been tipped with a move to Manchester United, Liverpool or Manchester City in the future.. A Polish football legend suggests the teenager has the talent to reach the Premier League giants.

Speaking about the 17-year-old, former Poland international and former Polish FA president Zbigniew Boniek said he would not be surprised to see Pietuszewski playing for one of those English clubs one day.

Just yesterday, We covered reports from the Portuguese press Linking him with Arsenal, Chelsea and Manchester City. So, Bonniek’s words are timely.

The comments come as the young winger’s profile continues to rise in Portugal. Pietuszewski has impressed since joining Porto in the winter window. Furthermore, his performances have already sparked discussion in Poland about a possible senior national team call-up.

Stop first call-up

Boniuk, who previously starred for Juventus and Roma, made it clear that he did not want to interfere in Poland manager Jan Urban’s decisions.

Nevertheless, he openly praised the Porto player and questioned the idea that talented youngsters should always wait before stepping into bigger roles.

“I am not the one who will select the players for January,” Bonniek said, referring to the national team manager. “I want to thank him because he called me on my birthday. We talked about the team, the players, Pietuszewski. But this is a matter between Jan and me, so to speak.”

“I wouldn’t be the next person to tell the manager who he should call and who he shouldn’t. However, I want to say something interesting: If someone is good, he’s good.”

Bonniek also rejected the common belief that young players should always be given a long time to mature before being trusted at the highest level.

“There is a general opinion among us, which is sometimes unfortunately developed by journalists, that a player needs time, needs to mature, needs to adapt to a different style of training and play,” He said.

Mention of Premier League legends

Bonniek went further, discussing Pietuszewski’s long-term potential. He suggested that the winger has the potential to reach some of the biggest clubs in Europe.

“His muscle structure, his looks, the way he moves and his trajectory all position him to have a really huge career,” said the former Poland star.

“I don’t want to spoil it, but I wouldn’t be surprised if Pietuszewski went to Manchester City, Manchester United, Liverpool, Real Madrid or Barcelona.”

These comments add another layer to Porto’s growing interest in the young player. In recent weeks, reports from Portugal have already linked the winger with Premier League interest. This follows his strong start to life at the club.

rapid growth in portugal

Pietuszewski arrived at Porto in the winter transfer window from Jagiellonia on a deal worth €8m (£6.9m), with an additional €2m (£1.7m) in bonuses.

Despite his age, he has quickly earned opportunities in the first team. The winger has been used regularly in recent matches and has produced a number of attractive performances.

His development has also helped Porto cope with Samu’s absence in attack. The teenager has stepped into a more prominent role during recent league fixtures.

For now, Porto sees the Polish talent as a long-term project with immense potential. However, with figures such as Boniuk already predicting a move to clubs such as Manchester United, Liverpool or Manchester City, the spotlight around Pietuszewski is likely to increase.

Pedro Porro’s time at Tottenham has been full of ups and downs. Their obvious quality is now attracting attention from abroad.

This week, sports witness Jade Spence has added to the doubts over the future of another Spurs defender. Juventus are considering a potential deal for the Englishman, who may not be the only defender to depart in the summer.

There is also interest in Italy from Porro, who has played 36 times in all competitions this season. He has assisted five times while working regularly under Anze Postecoglou.

interest Take a closer look at his situation, especially as Tottenham remain just above relegation.

Inter is keen on Poro

The outlet believes the 26-year-old is considered the ‘best’ option for Inter, who are looking to sign the right wing-back in the summer.

There is interest in Marco Palestra but the Nerazzurri are looking for an established player in this position. Denzel Dumfries is expected to leave in the summer and has a release clause of €25m in his contract.

Once Inter earn that fee, they are likely to make a move for Porro, with Tottenham unlikely to demand a huge sum. Inter Milan’s budget is €40m.

The right-back’s experience at the highest level attracts the Serie A league leaders. He is also at the peak of his career and will have no problem handling the pressure of playing at San Siro.

Our opinion on Poro’s Tottenham exit

It has become clear that Poro’s development has stalled this season. Despite being erratic at times, the defender is usually one of Tottenham’s most reliable players, but it remains to be seen if he can take the next step in London.

Inter, currently a much more stable football organization – although that can change rapidly in Italy – could get help doing just that. Dumfries has done so himself since joining PSV Eindhoven.

Poro could also benefit from playing at wing-back in a 3-5-2 setup. He is currently playing at centre-back in a back three due to his long passing ability. This takes away his ability to take the ball forward and that is what Inter would like.

Therefore, a move to the Nerazzurri would make sense and would depend on whether they can meet Tottenham’s asking price.

Manchester United have been keeping an eye on Napoli midfielder Eljif Elmas in recent weeksAccording to a report from Italy. North Macedonian emerged as a potential market opportunity ahead of the summer.

Italian Outlet tuttomerkatoweb The report adds that the Premier League side are one of the clubs monitoring the 26-year-old, who is enjoying a strong season under Antonio Conte at Napoli.

Elmas has become one of the manager’s reliable options, even though injuries in the team have forced him to adapt to different roles.

The situation is particularly interesting because of the structure of his current deal. Elmas joined Napoli from RB Leipzig with a purchase option set at €16m (£13.7m), a figure considered relatively low in the current market.

As a result, if Napoli decide to activate it and subsequently move the player, several Premier League clubs could see this situation as a potential opportunity. it was Targeted by West Ham last summerWhen he still played in Germany, but eventually chose the Italian side.

Napoli can still make a profit without their asking price being too high.

Season under Conte

Despite not always playing in his preferred role, Elmas remains a key figure in Conte’s rotation. Injuries within the team have often pushed him deeper into midfield rather than the more advanced attacking position for which he was originally signed.

He recently scored his first goal of the season against Torino, ending a long wait to get back on the scoresheet.

Speaking after that match, Elmas admitted that the moment was a relief after a difficult run without a goal.

“I missed scoring a lot and I’m sad that I wasn’t able to score. It was a difficult moment for me, and finally after many matches I found it again. I’m happy for the goal, but the most important thing was to win and bring home three points.” He said.

The midfielder also praised Conte for the confidence he has shown throughout the campaign.

“I didn’t hear what the coach said, thank you. He has always given me confidence and always believed in me. I always tried to give my best and do what he wants. I hope I did well”, He reflected.

Role adaptation and Premier League interest

Elmas also admitted that he has had to make tactical adjustments this season, especially when used as a deeper midfielder.

“When you play as a defensive midfielder you also need to defend, not just look for the goal and go forward. Even when you change roles during the match it is difficult, but I am happy that I am doing well”, He said.

With his versatility and hopefully reasonable price, it’s easy to see why Manchester United and other Premier League clubs may take notice ahead of the summer window.

Napoli’s decision on activating the purchase clause from Leipzig will likely be the first step before any potential move materialises.

Chelsea and Newcastle United have now joined the race for FC Koln’s Said El-Mala ahead of the summer transfer window.

This is according to the kicker. The German newspaper today covers the 19-year-old and a possible exit in the summer.

According to their information, the ‘breakout star’ of the current Bundesliga season has decided to change his inner circle.

His parents, Sabrina and Mohammed, now represent him, ending their long-standing partnership with their previous agents.

He was represented by an agent from the Cologne area. That agent also represents his older brother, Malek El Mala. He currently plays for Köln’s U21 team.

agent change

Saeed is ‘redirecting’ his career ahead of the summer. It is also not uncommon in Germany to receive advice from family members. And they know there is Premier League interest in the winger.

Brighton & Hove Albion have been chasing him since last summer. The Seagulls have also presented various concrete proposals.

In fact, A report last month said That they are taking the initiative to try to reach a compromise. They want face-to-face talks on the transfer agreement.

A report from three days ago It was then said that El Mala’s asking price is now €50m. However, it was believed that Brighton had a double advantage over any competition.

Chelsea and Newcastle effort

Now that competition will likely include Chelsea and Newcastle. According to Kicker’s information, they are making ‘strong bids’ for both wingers. The nature of these bids has not been made clear, but they are putting them forward anyhow.

Chelsea’s interest is not surprising given their continued determination to sign every young player the Blues have led.

Newcastle are a bit more of a surprise as they have plenty of options on either wing at the moment. However, reports have linked the likes of Anthony Gordon with a summer exit, so perhaps El-Mala could be a long-term replacement for him.

Given that Transfermarkt is currently valued at €40 million, an asking price of €50 million may also not be out of the realm of plausibility.
