According to a recent report from Sky Germany, Manchester United midfielder Paul Pogba is likely to leave the club during the summer transfer window later on this year. It’s been no secret that Pogba’s potential exit from Old Trafford has been on the cards for a while now, but there has still been some uncertainty as to when it was going to happen – and where he’d be going.
The two most notable clubs in the running continue to be Juventus and Real Madrid, both of whom are currently in talks with Pogba’s advisor, the always controversial Mino Raiola.
United are keen to keep Pogba on the books until at least the end of the season, mainly because they have a real lack of depth in the middle of the park right now. Beyond that, though, it seems like a virtual c…
Tottenham threw away a 2-0 lead to draw 2-2 at Olympiacos in their opening match of this season s Champions League.
Last term s beaten finalists were two goals to the good after half an hour in Athens thanks to Harry Kane s penalty and Lucas Moura s excellent finish.
Mathieu Valbuena was the catalyst for a deserved Olympiacos comeback, though, setting up Daniel Podence for a goal on his debut in the competition before burying a penalty 54 minutes in.
Olympiacos seemed to target Davinson Sanchez at right-back in the early stages and one such attack led to Guerrero rattling the base of the left-hand post with a shot from just inside the area.
The home side were certainly the stronger until Kane fired a spot-kick high into Jose Sa s net, having been tripped …
Cristiano Ronaldo s agent says that if he does leave Real Madrid it will be for a new stage and challenge .
Serie A champions Juventus are reported to have made a bid of £88million for Ronaldo, who is Madrid s all-time leading goalscorer after nine seasons at the Santiago Bernabeu.
His future at the club has been shrouded in doubt ever since Los Blancos defeated Liverpool 3-1 to win a third straight Champions League in May.
The Portugal superstar spoke about the club in the past tense after that game when he said: We will talk in the future. It s been really beautiful to play for Real Madrid. I ll give a response in the coming days.
With speculation heating up that a move to Italy is imminent, Ronaldo s agent Jorge Mendes has dropped the biggest hint y…
Gareth Bale bade an emotional farewell to Wales fans after his retirement, telling the supporters who make it so special they are Welsh football on Tuesday.
Rob Page s side made it four points from two games in Euro 2024 qualifying after Kieffer Moore scored in a 1-0 victory over Latvia at Cardiff City Stadium.
Wales fans were met by a familiar face prior to kick-off as Bale, who announced his retirement from professional football in January, spoke to the crowd to say his final farewell.
I just want to say what an honour it has been to represent this country and play in front of the best fans in the world, he said.
You ve supported me and my family through the lowest of the lows and the highest of highs. I can t thank you enough.

Manchester United goalkeeper Sergio Romero has been offered to Valencia, according to . It has been reported by the Spanish news outlet that Jasper Cillessen will leave Valencia at the end of the season, and that Romero is on the radar of the Spanish club and could end up joining Los Che as a free agent.
Romero has been on the books of Manchester United sine 2015 and is out of contract at the Premier League giants at the end of the season. David de Gea is the first-choice goalkeeper at Old Trafford at the moment and Dean Henderson is pushing him hard, and it is very unlikely that the Reds Devils will offer Romero a new deal.
United are second in the Premier League table at the moment with 57 points from 29 matches, 14 points behind leaders and city rivals Manchester Ci…
Karim Benzema and Marcelo scored as under-pressure Real Madrid head coach Julen Lopetegui saw his team beat Viktoria Plzen 2-1 for their first win in six.
Lopetegui is rumoured to be on the brink of the sack at the Santiago Bernabeu after a dismal run in all competitions, but there was a timely victory for the reigning Champions League holders on Tuesday, albeit in unconvincing fashion.
While Plzen largely gave as good as they got, the recalled Benzema crucially broke the deadlock, scoring in a 14th consecutive Champions League season with a powerful early header.
A second from Marcelo followed, yet Patrik Hrosovsky pulled a goal back and Barcelona, Madrid s next opponents, would certainly have identified weaknesses ahead of El Clasico, which could have a hug…
Best odds: 4/6
Bookmaker:
Liverpool will host Southampton at Anfield on Saturday evening in the 35th round of the 2020-21 Premier League season, though it will actually be game No.34 for the still reigning champions after their visit to Old Trafford, which was supposed to take place last Sunday, was postponed due to Manchester United fans protesting against the club owners rather lively in and around the stadium.

It s been a strange season for every club everywhere, but a combination of injuries, questionable refereeing decisions and an apparent fall in focus and motivation saw Liverpool lose the title they won last season in a spectacular fashion. Such falls have been seen before not least with Chelsea in 2015-16 and Leicester City in 2016-17, but af…
Zlatan Ibrahimovic scored twice as Milan started their Serie A campaign with a convincing 2-0 victory over Bologna, who ended Monday s clash at San Siro with 10 men.
Having finished 2019-20 in excellent form, Milan picked up where they left off with Ibrahimovic s double securing their first opening-day win since 2017-18.
The 38-year-old netted in the Europa League against Shamrock Rovers on Thursday and broke the deadlock with an excellent header 35 minutes in.
His second came from the spot six minutes into the second half after Riccardo Orsolini fell foul of VAR and Bologna finished the game with 10 men when Mitchell Dijks saw red in the 88th minute.
Milan played themselves into trouble inside the opening two minutes and were fortunate Roberto Sorian…

The 34-year-old Argentina international s Barcelona contract expired on June 30, amid speculation of a move away from Camp Nou which he has called home since 2000.
