Dortmund Have More Than Double Haaland Release Clause

Image
Manchester United have reportedly been told that they can sign Erling Haaland this summer, but only for £150million. The Norwegian striker possesses a £65million release clause in his contract, which will become active in 2022. According to the Star, Dortmund are braced for interest but will hold out for £150m this summer – more than double his future release clause.   Asked yesterday about Haaland, who he managed at Molde, Red Devils boss Ole Gunnar Solskjaer refused to rule out a move.     He said: “He is a Dortmund player, we wish him well there and let’s see what life will bring later on.”   Asked if any deal was now dead or could be revived Solskjaer said: “It’s disrespectful to talk about it apart from I know him and speak to him.” Speaking to the BBC, agent Mino Raiola believes that there are ten clubs that could buy Haaland – with four of them being from the Premier League.   GoalBall .

A Dark Side Of Pep Guardiola Has Been Revealed

Image
Angelino has admitted a frustrating spell under Pep Guardiola at Manchester City threatened to derail his career, before becoming a standout performer in the Bundesliga and Champions League with RB Leipzig.   The 24-year-old was restricted to just 15 senior appearances during his period with City, whom he joined in 2013 as a teenager from Deportivo La Coruna. When asked about the contrast between Leipzig manager Julian Nagelsmann and Guardiola during a Zoom interview from his club’s expansive training base, Angelino said: “They both like to play with the ball, get the ball quick, there is one thing that is a big difference: one gave me the confidence and played me and the other didn’t. “I’m just thankful to Julian for the trust and, sometimes you need – I don’t want to use a bad or wrong word – you need courage to put a player in and he did that from the first game.” Building on that, Angelino reviewed his time at City as “a 50/50 experience. On one side I really learned a lo...

Monchengladbach Vs Man City: Confirmed Lineups Out

Image
Manchester City shift their attention towards the UEFA Champions League as they travel to Budapest to face Borussia Monchengladbach at the Puskas Arena in the Round of 16. Performing outside Borussia Park is certainly a big ask for the Gladbach side, especially if we are to consider their recent run of results. Indeed, after an impressive start to 2021, the Foals have failed to win any of their last four Bundesliga matches – a run of form that has seen them drop below Union Berlin in the Bundesliga table. Gladbach were also criticised for their performances in the Champions League stage, luckily qualifying to the knockout thanks to excellent performances against Shakhtar Donetsk over the two legs. Their opponents tonight, The Sky Blues, in contrast, are currently the most in-form team in Europe. They are on an 18 game-winning run in all competitions and are yet to lose a single game since November. Monchengladbach Vs Man City Lineup Monchengladbach XI (4-2-3-1): Sommer, Elvedi...

Atalanta Vs Real Madrid: Confirmed Lineups Out

Image
Real Madrid will be aiming to take a step closer towards qualification to the UEFA Champions League quarter-finals when they lock horns with Atalanta at the Gewiss Stadium tonight. Zinedine Zidane and his men made it hard for themselves in the group stages of the Champions League but ultimately were able to qualify to the knockout stages as Group B winners. Heading into Wednesday’s game, Los Blancos have put together a four-game winning run, most recently beating Real Valladolid 1-0 despite all their injury problems. The Serie A outfit, meanwhile, finished second in Group D behind Liverpool, losing just one of their six games in the group phase. The last season’s quarter-finalists are in a good run of form, having not lost their last five games in a row, which includes a 4-2 win over Napoli in Serie A. And they will be aiming to extend that run against Real. This will be the first time ever that Atalanta and Real Madrid take on each other in a competitive setting. Atalanta Vs R...

Napoli Has Ruled Victor Osimhen Out Until March

Image
Super Eagles striker Victor Osimhen has been ruled out of action until early March according to Napoli doctor after he was knocked unconscious in last weekend’s league game.   The Nigerian International fell backwards and hit his head on the turf during the Serie A match against Atalanta on Sunday and was dropping in and out of consciousness.   Osimhen was rushed to the local hospital for tests, which fortunately all came back clear.     But it has emerged the 22-year-old has no memory of the incident.   The former Lille star suffered head trauma with memory loss,” explained neurosurgeon Alfredo Bucciero to Radio Kiss Kiss.   “Now the medical tests are showing good results, but we still need to wait for the natural recovery time to be completed.   “We don’t have signs of a haematoma on the brain, nor damage to the skullcap. We must be cautious, he needs at least a week of complete rest.   “I think he could be available again from ear...

Leicester Vs Slavia: Rodgers Announces Worrying Injury News

Leicester will not have in-form star James Maddison available as they bid to reach the Europa League last 16 on Thursday night. The England hopeful, 24, scored his 11th goal of the season in Sunday’s 2-1 Premier League win at Aston Villa before limping off. Boss Brendan Rodgers confirmed: “He won’t be available for the game on Thursday and he’s in consultation with our doctors and some specialists.   “Then we’ll see where we’re at.   “We don’t believe he needs more surgery.   “It’s irritable where he has had the issue before and we are getting all the info.   “He has been to London with our club doctor to get an opinion and he is down there getting another opinion so we can collate all the information after that.   “We are having to get the specialist opinion on it and formulate a plan for his recovery and reintegration into the team.”   The Foxes can also reach the last 16 in Europe if they beat Slavia Prague at home after a goalless draw awa...

Tuchel’s Plan To Push Tammy Abraham Out Of Chelsea Revealed

Image
Tammy Abraham is unwilling to discuss a new contract with Chelsea as long as the Blues continue to be linked with a move for Borussia Dortmund star Erling Haaland. According to reports, Thomas Tuchel has made Haaland a top target ahead of the summer transfer window but The Athletic claim that interest could have an impact on contract extension talks with Abraham. The Athletic claim the academy graduate is not interested in entering into contract extension talks while Haaland’s arrival at Stamford Bridge remains a possibility given the doubts it would raise over his first-team chances. The 22-year-old has two years left on his current deal with the club. Mino Raiola meanwhile says up to 10 clubs are in the running to sign Haaland, who has a release clause of £68m that becomes active in the summer of 2022. Dortmund could sell him the Norway international however and recoup a bigger fee with the club currently scrapping to qualify for next season’s Champions League.  

Mikel Arteta Hints On His Next Arsenal Captain

Image
Hector Bellerin’s exit would leave Mikel Arteta needing to appoint a new vice-captain for Arsenal and comments made by the manager this season appear to suggest he already has his eye on one player. The Spanish defender came close to leaving the Emirates last summer but the north London club rejected PSG’s €35million (£30m) bid as they held out for a fee closer to €50million (£43m).   As vice-captain, the right-back has worn the armband on numerous occasions in the absence of skipper Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang. Speaking after his side’s 4-0 win over West Brom last month, Arteta heaped glowing praise on Kieran Tierney and touted Bellerin, 25, as a future Arsenal captain. “I think he can be Arsenal captain as he has the respect and admiration of every member of the staff and every player,” Arteta said, as per Goal.     “It is just the way he is. He does it in a natural way. “He is a really shy boy as well but he represents all of us in the club; all of the values that...

Dangote Starts Arsenal Takeover Talks With Stan Kroenke?

Image
Aliko Dangote, who is the richest man in Africa, has made no secret in the past of his desire to buy out Stan Kroenke at Arsenal and become the owner at the Emirates Stadium. Talks over a potential takeover at Arsenal could start up in the not too distant future. In June 2015, Dangote admitted he was interested in buying Lady Nina Bracewell-Smith’s 15.9% stake in 2011, which were eventually purchased by Stan Kroenke. “We backtracked because we were very busy doing other things, especially our industrialisation.” In September 2016, he stated that a takeover would be a question of timing rather than money.   “It’s not about buying Arsenal and just continuing with business as usual,” Dangote said.   “It’s about buying Arsenal and turning it around.” In August 2017, he mentioned the conclusion of the oil refinery as the key time, saying: “I don’t want to go after Arsenal until I deliver the refinery. Once I deliver, I will go after Arsenal.” Dangote is the 206th richest m...

Atletico Madrid Vs Chelsea: Confirmed Lineups Out

Image
Atletico Madrid and Chelsea will lock horns in the UEFA Champions League Round of 16 first leg at Arena Nationala in Romania, as both sides will be aiming to qualify for the next stage. The La Liga leaders are heading into this clash after an agonising defeat against Levante at the weekend, and Diego Simeone will look at this tie as an opportunity to bounce back to winning ways. Atletico ensured their spot in the Round of 16 despite collecting just 9 points, as the Spanish giants grabbed the second spot in Group A behind Bayern Munich. On the other hand, the English giants ended up as the winners of Group E with 14 points from 6 games, beating Spanish side Sevilla to the top spot. Under the guidance of new manager Thomas Tuchel, the Blues have enjoyed a positive period, going unbeaten in their last eight fixtures across all competitions, but were held by Southampton in the Premier League on Saturday.

Awoniyi S’Eagles Call-Up For Next Month’s AFCONQ Stopped

Liverpool loanee Taiwo Awoniyi may just not get a Super Eagles call-up for next month’s Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) qualifiers against Benin and Lesotho no thanks to a thigh injury.   Head coach of the Super Eagles Gernot Rohr has hinted on calling up the 23-year-old after a haul of goals in the Bundesliga.   However, Awoniyi Bundesliga club Union Berlin announced the Nigeria striker has suffered a thigh muscle injury and he will be out of action for “the foreseeable future”.

Mourinho’s Future At Tottenham To Be Determined In 12 Days

Image
Tottenham’s next four matches are set to determine whether Jose Mourinho is in charge of the club next season. Spurs are currently nine points adrift of the top four and have lost five of their last six Premier League outings. The Telegraph report that Mourinho’s future at the club could be determined by Tottenham’s next four matches in a space of 12 days. After that, it should become clear whether the Portuguese boss will be in charge next season.   Julian Nagelsmann is the top target for Spurs, should they decide to swing the axe on Mourinho.   Daniel Levy failed to include a breakaway clause in Mourinho’s contract, something that could prove costly. That’s because if he does decide to change manager, Mourinho and his staff could receive up to £34million in payoffs.   Former Tottenham manager Glenn Hoddle does not feel it’s the right time to sack Mourinho and has urged his old club to hang fire before making any hasty decisions.   Source: GoalBal...

Man Utd To Sell Current No.1 De Gea For Significant Amount

Image
Manchester United are planning to sell their current No.1 goalkeeper David de Gea. The Spain international has made a number of costly errors over the past few years, leaving some Red Devils fans calling for academy graduate Dean Henderson to replace him as their first-choice shot-stopper. Though if reports from Manchester Evening News prove accurate, he could find himself as Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s No.1 man in between the sticks next season. United chiefs want De Gea gone in the summer transfer window due to his hefty £375,000-a-week wages, which contribute to over half of their goalkeeper wage bill. Along with Henderson, Sergio Romero, Joel Pereira, Under-23 custodian Paul Woolston and back-up veteran Lee Grant, they are currently spending £600,000-a-week on goalkeepers. The club are keen to cut that figure this summer. De Gea, 30, still has over two years remaining on his United deal, meaning he could be offloaded for a significant amount. Source: GoalBall.

Osimhen Reportedly Suffered Amnesia In Atalanta Collision

Image
Napoli striker Victor Osimhen suffered a total blackout to the extent that he could not remember that he hit the back of his head on the ground when he collided with an Atalanta player Sunday.   The Super Eagles star could not remember a thing from the incident, according to Gazzetta dello Sport.   Osimhen spent a night in the hospital in Bergamo with Napoli doctor by his side.   The 22-year-old will undergo more medical tests today in Naples to ascertain the extent of the head injury.   Osimhen has already been ruled out of Thursday’s UEFA Europa League Round of 32 second leg match against Granada.   Granada won the first leg in Spain 2-0.   Recent months have not been kind to Osimhen who injured his shoulder on international duty and was sidelined for over three months. He then contacted Covid-19 recklessly just as fresh controversy bubbled up when his brother told Italian media Victor is being played out by his own team.

NPFL Goal Keepers Reply Rohr On Super Eagles Call-Up

Image
Nigeria Professional Football League [NPFL] goalkeepers have reacted and said they’re good enough to get a call up to the national team. Super Eagles coach, Gernot Rohr, recently revealed that his preferred goalkeepers were Sparta Rotterdam’s Maduka Okoye (first choice), while Francis Uzoho and Daniel Akpeyi would fill the second and third choice roles respectively. Heartland goalkeeper Ikechukwu Ezenwa had been the only consistent NPFL player in the national team in recent years, but his time in the squad seems over with Rohr’s submission. But according to the Punch, other NPFL keepers believe they are good enough to make the team in place of the 19-cap goalie. Veteran Kano Pillars shot stopper, Suraj Ayeleso, said, “I believe NPFL goalkeepers should be considered now that the league is on. I was happy when I saw head coach Rohr in Port Harcourt watching the Enyimba versus Rivers United CAF Confederation Cup game.” Abia Warriors shot stopper, Ojo Olorunleke, also tipped his oppo...

Four Players Set To Benefit From Man Utd’s Latest Decision

Image
Manchester United are reportedly no longer interested in Borussia Dortmund star Jadon Sancho ahead of the summer transfer window. The Red Devils would prefer to sign a centre-back and centre-forward at the end of the season instead. So will now take a look at the four players who benefit from their new decision. Daniel James Ole Gunnar Solskjaer hailed the Wales international after victory over Newcastle on Sunday, insisting he never ‘disappeared’ and has been grafting hard behind the scenes. So, given Sancho and James play in the same area, the United star will likely get more minutes without the Dortmund star around. Mason Greenwood Back in the summer, it was assumed Sancho would oust the England international from United’s starting XI. But with the Dortmund star not looking likely to move to Old Trafford, Greenwood will likely continue to start most matches. Amad Amad plays on both flanks and would have likely found it hard battling with Sancho for a starting berth. But, no...

Osimhen’s Current Situation Revealed After Atalanta Collision

Victor Osimhen was stretchered-off the pitch in the closing stages of Napoli’s 4-2 loss to Italian rivals Atalanta on Sunday evening. The Super Eagles striker was immediately rushed to the hospital following the incident after he collided with centre-back Cristian Romero during the encounter. Osimhen who was handed his seventh start of the season against Atalanta struggled to make an impact for the entire duration he lasted on the pitch as he managed just one shot and two dribbles. With few minutes left before the end of the game, the 22-year-old collided with Romero and was immediately taken out on a stretcher. The club said in a statement via GOAL: “Victor Osimhen, following the injury with head trauma suffered in the final minutes of Atalanta-Napoli, underwent tests with negative results. “The player will remain in Bergamo until tomorrow under the clinical observation of the blue health manager Raffaele Canonico.” The Nigerian youngster has only played 16 games across all co...
