Barcelona are interested in signing Manchester City star Ilkay Gundogan, according to . The report has claimed that La Liga giants Barcelona are tracking the Germany international midfielder, who is out of contract at defending Premier League champions City at the end of the season.
Gundogan has been on the books of City since 2016 and has been a massive player for Pep Guardiola’s side over the years. During his time at the Etihad Stadium so far in his career, the Germany international midfielder has won the Premier League title four times, the FA Cup once, and the EFL Cup on four occasions.
It is unlikely that City will sell Gundogan in the January transfer window even if they lose him on a free next summer. After all, the German is a key figure in the team, and Guar…
Pep Guardiola has denied that there is a clause in his contract which would allow for him to leave Manchester City at the end of the current season.
The former Barcelona and Bayern Munich boss signed a contract last season that was planned to keep him at the Etihad until at least 2021, but reports had suggested that the deal included an option for Guardiola to depart early – potentially put in if things start to go south, which has happened in recent months.
“No. It is not true. I spoke a few weeks ago about my intentions with the club”. Those were the words of Guardiola in response to the claims, as fans continue to try and figure out whether their leader will be staying or whether he’ll be going.
For the time being, though, all they’ll be focus…
Sergio Ramos and Ansu Fati were left out of Luis Enrique s Spain squad on Friday ahead of Nations League games against Switzerland and Portugal.
Head coach Luis Enrique also excluded in-form forward Iago Aspas but called in the uncapped Borja Iglesias and Nico Williams.
The upcoming games are the last for Spain before Luis Enrique chooses his World Cup squad, so all eyes were on whether former captain Ramos, particularly, would return to favour.
Ramos won a record 180 caps for Spain but may have played his final game for La Roja, unless Luis Enrique has a change of heart before November.
The door has been left ajar, but time is running out for Ramos and Aspas.
These players have been in the national team. They can return to the national team wi…
Inter head coach Simone Inzaghi claimed a penalty was the only way Juventus were going to score against his side after Sunday s 1-1 draw in Serie A s first Derby d Italia of the season.
Inter were held by rivals Juve at San Siro, the first time since April 2019 the two teams have shared the points in the league as Massimiliano Allegri s fast-improving side earned another point in their recovery after a poor start to the 2021-22 campaign.
Edin Dzeko s first-half strike – his seventh goal in nine top-flight outings, as many as he scored in 27 appearances last term – was cancelled out by Paulo Dybala s late penalty, his 18th converted spot-kick in his last 20 attempts.
Inter substitute Denzel Dumfries was adjudged by VAR to have fouled Alex Sandro for Juve s 89t…
Tottenham Hotspur are interested in signing Mike Maignan from AC Milan in the summer transfer window, according to . The report has claimed that although defending Serie A champions Milan do not want to sell the goalkeeper at the end of the season, the Rossoneri value him at €35 million.
Maignan is one of the best goalkeepers in the world and has been superb for AC Milan since his move to San Siro. The 27-year-old France international has been on the books of the Italian giants since 2021 after joining from Lille.
Tottenham Hotspur are fifth in the Premier League table at the moment with 53 points from 31 matches, three points behind fourth-placed Newcastle United, who have played 30 games. Meanwhile, AC Milan currently find themselves fourth in the Serie A table with…
Manchester United are interested in signing Joao Felix from Atletico Madrid, according to . The report has claimed that the 23-year-old Portugal international wants to leave former La Liga champions Atletico in the middle of the season, and that former Premier League and UEFA Champions League winners United are keen on securing his services.
Felix has been on the books of Atletico since 2019 and is one of the best young attacking players in the world. The 23-year-old can operate as a forward, winger or attacking midfielder, but he has not been able to express himself fully at Atletico due to head coach Diego Simeone’s playing style.
So far this season, Felix has made five starts and seven substitute appearances in La Liga for Atletico so far this season, scoring three…

In what could prove to be another enjoyable affair from the Amex on Monday night, Brighton will welcome Wolves to the south coast.
Brighton
Starting with the hosts, while Brighton might have extended on their FA Cup adventure last week as they secured an action-packed 4-2 victory away at Championship outfit Stoke, the Seagulls are seeking some top-flight stability. Although Roberto De Zerbi’s side might have lost just one of their previous eight appearances across all competitions, the south coast outfit have not recorded back-to-back Premier League wins since September. Although Brighton might have punched a famous Europa League knockout stage ticket last month, De Zerbi will have a major headache over his side’s extended defensi…
