British billionaire Jim Ratcliffe's last-minute bid for Chelsea has received serious consideration. Todd Boehly's consortium is understood to remain on course to be confirmed as the preferred bidder and then handed the opportunity to seal a Stamford Bridge takeover, reports PA Sport. Britain's richest man Ratcliffe confirmed a last-ditch £4.25billion offer to buy Chelsea on Friday however, tabled at the very tail-end of the sale process. Ineos owner Ratcliffe carried out extensive due diligence on Chelsea in 2019 only to opt against submitting a formal offer to buy the west London club. The British billionaire had distanced himself from a bid for Chelsea in early March, with his brother Bob reiterating previous determination at Ineos not to be “dumb money" in football, but crucially, Ratcliffe never categorically ruled himself out of a bid for the Blues. Chelsea chiefs are understood to have anticipated a bid from Ratcliffe, the 69-year-old petrochemicals boss who boug...

Burnley scored twice in the final seven minutes to complete a dramatic comeback that pulled them five points clear of the Premier League relegation zone and left hosts Watford on the brink of relegation. Jack Cork's diving header from Charlie Taylor's left-wing cross cancelled out James Tarkowski's early own goal, before Josh Brownhill found the bottom corner from the edge of the box to spark jubilant scenes among the travelling fans and in the away dugout at Vicarage Road. Watford had taken a deserved early lead when Juraj Kucka's fierce effort struck the crossbar before rebounding off the unfortunate Tarkowski and into the unguarded net. The Hornets carried the greater threat in the first half, Kiko Femenia striking the near post from an inswinging corner and Joao Pedro blazing over the crossbar after escaping the Clarets defence. Aaron Lennon and Ashley Barnes forced fine saves out of Ben Foster in the second half, but there was little the veteran goalkeeper could do...

Carlo Ancelotti has claimed the La Liga title with Real Madrid. The Italian has become the first manager in history of football to win league titles in five top European leagues. He won the Serie A with AC Milan back in 2004, the Premier League with Chelsea in 2010, Ligue 1 with PSG in 2013, Bundesliga in 2017 and now La Liga win Madrid in 2022. A true legend of the game!

Marcelo Vieira has become Real Madrid's most decorated player in history. The Brazilian has won his 24th title as Los Blancos have claimed the La Liga trophy today. Marcelo has surpassed Francisco Gento, who won 23 titles at Madrid between 1953 and 1971. All titles won by Marcelo with Madrid: 6 La Liga titles 2 Copa del Rey 5 Spanish Super Cups 4 Champions League titles 3 UEFA Super Cups 4 Club World Cups

Cristiano Ronaldo has shared a beautiful photo of himself holding his newborn daughter in his arms. The 37-year-old and his partner Georgina Rodriguez were expecting twins but the baby boy tragically died in childbirth. The girl survived and joins Ronaldo's other kids - Cristiano Jr, twins Eva and Mateo and Alana Martina, his daughter with Georgina. Ronaldo has not let his personal loss affect his performances on the field. He was our best player in the 3-1 loss to Arsenal as well as the 1-1 draw with Chelsea. The Manchester United forward scored in both games and dedicated his goal against the Gunners to his late son. Source: Cristiano Ronaldo @ Instagram

Real Madrid have become La Liga's champions this season, beating Espanyol 4-0. Barcelona have posted the following message on their Twitter account. "FC Barcelona congratulates Real Madrid on achieving their 35th La Liga title." Barca are currently third in the league table, 18 points behind Madrid.

Thibaut Courtois did not resist the chance to aim a sly dig at arch-rivals Barcelona after winning La Liga 2021/22 with Real Madrid. Quoted by Tiempo de Juego, the goalkeeper said: "After the El Clasico, someone was celebrating as if they won the league." For context, Barcelona hit one of their biggest highs under Xavi by beating Madrid 4-0 in March. However, Los Blancos pulled through in the end and are 17 points clear at the top of the table. Meanwhile, Real Madrid have won their 35th league title after a 4-0 win over Espanyol. Source: Tiempo de Juego @ Twitter

Real Madrid have won La Liga after beating Espanyol. Los Blancos are one of the most successful clubs in the world, having won more titles than any other side. Here are all titles the Whites have won since its foundation in 1902. 35 La Liga titles 13 Champions League titles 19 Copa del Rey titles 12 Spanish Super Cups 2 UEFA Cups 4 UEFA Super Cups 4 Club World Cups 3 Intercontinental Cups Copa Eva Duarte La Liga Cup Total: 94 titles.

Real Madrid won the 35th La Liga title in the club’s history, as a Rodrygo double in a dominant 4-0 victory over Espanyol at the Santiago Bernabéu fired ‘Los Blancos’ to the Spanish title in style. This match provided the challenge of a juggling act to Carlo Ancelotti. On the one hand the title could be clinched with only one point required, but on the other there was a one-goal deficit to overturn against Manchester City in their UEFA Champions League (UCL) semi-final second leg on Wednesday. He was already without Éder Militão and Nacho Fernandez due to domestic suspensions, but Ancelotti put faith in his squad as he made eight changes from the side that started the first leg against City. Whilst Espanyol may have secretly not had any qualms being the side that helped mathematically end their city rivals Barcelona’s slim chances of catching ‘Los Blancos’, there was the opportunity to complete a first league double over their opponents since 1995/96. Raúl de Tomas showed their intenti...

Manchester City's Under-18 side has beaten Newcastle United 13-0 (yes, 13 goals to nil!) to clinch the youth Premier League title in style. That's a mad scoreline, considering they scored so many goals but did not concede even one on the other end. The Newcastle clash was the young team's final home game of the season and they certainly did not disappoint. Youngsters William Dickinson and Nico O'Reilly scored a hat-trick each while Carlos Borges and Josh Adams chipped in with braces. A few of their other teammates found the back of the net, as well as the youth team, stamped their mark on the competition. Meanwhile, the senior City squad is fighting with Liverpool to defend the Premier League title in 2021/22. Source: Man City @ Twitter

Thomas Tuchel spoke about the predicament Saul Niguez finds himself him after moving to Chelsea but not having any real game time. "We will talk about it at the end of the season," said the boss. "At the moment it’s a bit of a difficult situation for him personally, but what I like about him is that he still gives his input. "It is like this in team sports. Even if it does not make you happy, and I’m sure that he is not happy about the situation, he is still pushing and he is still positive and he takes care about the quality in training with the group that does not play so much. "Which means a lot to me and means a lot to the atmosphere in the dressing room and within the group that we stay competitive."

Matt Judge resigned from his position as Man United’s Director of Football Negotiations on Friday. He had basically worked as the club’s transfer chief since 2014, negotiating with clubs for players and also negotiating player contracts too. In his term, he left the club with a net spend of -£600m and made some really poor signings. Here we take a look at his worst decisions at Old Trafford. The entire Alexis Sanchez deal Judge was the one who organized the deal that saw Alexis Sanchez arrive at Man United in 2018, with Henrikh Mkhitaryan joining Arsenal in a straight swap. Not only was Sanchez given the no.7 shirt, but he was also given a lot of luxuries by Judge & co. Sanchez received over £500,000-a-week wages, making him the highest-paid player at United during his stint at the club. In 45 appearances for United, he scored just 4 goals and provided 9 assists. He’s regarded as one of United’s worst ever signings and the overly expensive, inflated deal with all Judge’s doing. Bri...

"Outstanding. Milly is Milly. He's incredibly important for us," Jurgen Klopp said after Liverpool's win over Newcastle about James Milner. "His leadership is helpful, especially when his manager isn't a native speaker! But on the pitch he played a super game. “He was involved in absolutely everything. When Milly is on the pitch he is responsible for giving the whole group energy as well, which is not easy. "On top of that he is a top footballer. He played a great game. Like a lot of players today and it was necessary. "Everything we've achieved wouldn't be possible without James Milner," Klopp added while pointing out that the club is not aware yet whether the 36-year-old will stay at the club beyond this season. In a rare start against Newcastle, Milner was outstanding, winning almost every duel in his time on the pitch. The veteran was even branded the Man of the Match by the broadcasters BT Sport.

"I feel great. For me, it is a top week and I’m really happy that I signed a new contract," Jurgen Klopp told BBC after the 1-0 win over Newcastle. "It is an incredible place with incredible people. It’s exactly what I want at a club I love. "I don’t take these things for granted and that is why it is a top week so far." The Newcastle game was the first match for Liverpool after Klopp extended his contract with the club until 2026. The Reds keep going for the unthinkable, as they are still in the running for the Premier League, the Champions League and the FA Cup trophies after lifting the Carabao Cup - and the quadruple chase is something that might've played a role in Klopp's thinking to commit to the club for the long term.

An official statement from Mino Raiola's family has confirmed that the football agent has passed away at the age of 54. He was battling for his life in a hospital due to sickness and has unfortunately breathed his last. Twitter embed The statement read: "In infinite sorrow we share the passing of the most caring and amazing football agent there ever was.

Mauricio Pochettino has clarified what he meant when he recently said that he and Kylian Mbappe would ‘100%’ be at PSG next season. He explained: “I said me and Mbappe will 100% stay at PSG next season? No.. “I was talking about the present.” This basically sums up the uncertainty around the future of Mbappe and Pochettino at the Ligue 1 club as the season draws to a close. Mauricio is likely to be sacked by PSG and replaced by Zinedine Zidane next season, while Mbappe is still on course to join Real Madrid for free in the summer. Source: Amazon Prime Video

Erik ten Hag has made the signing of Frenkie de Jong from Barcelona a priority for the summer transfer window, claims reliable journalist Gerard Romero. The Dutchman wants to sign his ex-Ajax star as his ideal midfield signing and help fix some of the issues at Old Trafford. Barca thinks that United could offer them player swaps in an attempt to sweeten any potential offer. The La Liga side believes the Red Devils will offer Harry Maguire, Marcus Rashford and Alex Telles for them to choose from. But Barca could actually be interested in signing Scott McTominay and Anthony Elanga from them instead. The Spanish side would ideally prefer to get a sizeable transfer fee – possibly over €70m – if they were to sell De Jong and help fund some of their own summer transfers.

Ousmane Dembele didn't train with the team on Saturday, reports Gerard Romero. The Frenchman is suffering from a sore throat. He 'will miss' the La Liga game against Mallorca on Sunday.

Juventus are interested in Manchester United midfielder Nemanja Matic. Tuttosport says Juventus are open to a move for Matic, who is off contract in June. Change is on the horizon for United at the end of this campaign and that is particularly the case in central midfield. United were already wanting to make at least one signing in that position, while Matic and Paul Pogba are set to leave. Having been linked with a return swoop for Pogba, the Old Lady are credited with further interest in Matic. Also keen on the Serb veteran is Jose Mourinho's AS Roma.

Ousmane Dembele has received a contract offer from PSG, who are willing to give him €17m-a-year wages (after tax) to join them, as per reliable Spanish journalist Toni Juanmarti. The Frenchman is on the verge of becoming a free agent in the summer after failing to sign a contract extension with Barcelona. PSG are eager to sign him and are offering him way more wages than what the La Liga giants are willing to give. With Kylian Mbappe set to leave in the summer, Dembele could be roped in as a possible replacement without having to pay a fee. But Ousmane has not yet struck an agreement with PSG as he still ponders on what he wants to do in the future. Source: Tjuanmarti @Twitter

As per The Telegraph and other sources, Todd Boehly's consortium have won the race to purchase Chelsea. Although there has not yet been official confirmation from the Boehly group, The Telegraph confirm that Boehly has been chosen as the preferred bidder. He edges out Stephen Pagliuca, Sir Martin Broughton and a late bid from Sir Jim Ratcliffe which was more than Boehly's bid. The report adds: "Chelsea’s intention is to advance Boehly and his group for UK Government approval ahead of a licence for the sale of the club to be issued." Source: The Telegraph

"My opinion is Manchester United should try to find future top players and try to develop them," explained Ralf Rangnick in his press conference. "[Erling] Haaland is 21; this is one of those players. He has developed into one of the most expensive strikers in the world. "He would be one of those examples I think the emphasis should be on: that we should try and convince players who should be Manchester United players for the next years." The interim boss was then asked if the club will struggle to attract top players after missing out on Champions League qualification for next season. Rangnick replied: "As a club with these supporters, the stadium, quality of training ground, I would say yes, but as soon as other clubs like Chelsea, Liverpool and Manchester City are involved you need some good reasons. "Someone needs to explain to the players and that is why it is important what Erik [ten Hag] thinks. "I know from Jurgen [Klopp] and Thomas [Tuch...

Tammy Abraham is enjoying a great season with AS Roma. The former Chelsea man has scored 15 goals in 33 Serie A appearances, as well as getting 4 assists. He averages one key pass and dribble per game, alongside 2.6 shots. He is fouled 1.3 times per game - for context, that is twice more than Mohamed Salah in the Premier League. Abraham went for £34 million last summer. However, Chelsea added a buyback clause to his deal which they can activate in 2023 - not this summer. The buyback clause is worth £67 million, almost twice what Chelsea sold him for. However, as per other sources, Roma have slapped a £100m price tag on Tammy's head and if an offer around that range comes this summer, they will sell him. This would negate Chelsea's buy-back clause.

"I'm very thankful for MLS because they gave me the chance to feel alive," said Zlatan Ibrahimovic in an interview with ESPN. "But the problem was I was still too alive. So I was too good for the whole competition. That is what I showed. And I'm the best ever to play in MLS and that is not me having ego or trying to show off now. That is true. "And when I was there, I enjoyed [it]. I had a good time. And I like the way they were working, the way they were doing the marketing stuff.

As per the very reliable Real Madrid source Marca, Antonio Rudiger will cost the Los Blancos €59m till 2026 as he will sign a 4-year deal. They don't have to pay any transfer fee to Chelsea as the centre-back's contract expires and he is a free agent. Madrid will pay him €11m per year - he was earning €6m a year with Chelsea. This comes down to just over €211,000 per week. Madrid will also give him an €11m signing bonus (which is included in the wages over four years). Reportedly, Rudiger was asking for higher wages but agreed to lower his demands eventually. The commissions over the contract (agent fees) are coming out to approximately €15m. Source: Marca

Eintracht Frankfurt attempted to invade the London stadium in their Europa League semi-final game against West Ham on Thursday, but it was an epic failure from the Germans. West Ham knew exactly what happened in Camp Nou in mid-April. Hence, they issued a strong warning, threatening to ban any of their supporters who re-sold their tickets to rival fans. As it happened, 10,000 Frankfurt fans traveled from Germany to England to flood the London stadium and support their team, but only 3000 of those trooping fans were allowed to enter the facility.

Michel Platini's teammate Jean Francois Larios was left out of France's Euro 1984 squad after allegedly having an affair with Platini's wife. Platini had been playing alongside Larios at the Ligue 1 side Saint-Etienne when rumours about the affair started to appear in the French media. Platini, France's best player at the time, went to national team head coach Michel Hidalgo to make sure that Larios was never part of the squad again. Larios said back in 2017: "It it was love at first sight [with Platini's wife], a true love story. We thought we were well hidden but unfortunately, it was rumoured. With him [Platini], we no longer spoke. But we continued to play together. When you have a contract, you shut your mouth. We were in the middle of the championship, there was the World Cup coming. In January 1982, I went to see coach Michel Hidalgo to explain the situation to him. I suggest to him that for the good of the team, I will pretend an injury and not go to th...
