Positive Florian Wirtz transfer rumors are actually a worrying sign for Real Madrid

Florian Wirtz of Bayer 04 Leverkusen looks on during the Bundesliga match between VfL Bochum 1848 and Bayer 04 Leverkusen at Vonovia Ruhrstadion on November 9, 2024 in Bochum, Germany. Real Madrid have the worst defensive injury crisis in world football after Eder Militao joined Dani Carvajal with a torn ACL, leaving the Merengue club with only Antonio Rudiger as a healthy, full-time senior starter in the back four. Los Blancos have been without a top left back these last two seasons and continue to waffle on signing Alphonso Davies, in the hopes they can steal the Bayern Munich superstar for free. Their right back situation is now a certified disaster with even Lucas Vazquez, who is not actually a right back, injured. In central defense, it will be Rudiger holding down the fort on his o...

According to a fresh report out of the Spanish media, Spurs have rejected an enquiry from Sevilla sporting director Victor Orta, to bring in Archie Gray on loan in the January transfer window. Orta was previously sporting director of Leeds United, and whilst Gray’s proper breakthrough into the first team came the season after he departed the club in the summer of 2023, there is no doubt the 46-year old will be aware of Gray from his time at the Yorkshire club. The report suggests that Orta saw an opportunity due to the teenagers “lack of game time” at Spurs so far. Whilst he perhaps hasn’t playe...

Real Madrid targetting former player as a strategic signing

Recent reports from Fichajes have suggested that Rafa Marin could be on the verge of making a surprising return to Real Madrid sooner than anticipated. The young defender transferred to Napoli for approximately €12 million during the summer transfer window. However, his time in Italy has not unfolded as expected, and the circumstances at Napoli have proven to be less than favourable for him. So far this season, Marin has struggled to establish himself within the Napoli squad. He has not yet made his debut in the Italian Serie A and has only managed to play a mere 90 minutes in the Coppa Italia. This lack of game time is far from what both the player and the Napoli management envisioned when they decided to bring him on board. The limited opportunities have raised concerns among Marin’s s...

Barcelona continues to monitor €18m Arsenal player to reinforce pivot positon

FC Barcelona has dominated the free-agent market in recent years. Driven partly by financial constraints and partly by the remarkable opportunities available, the club has managed to secure several high-profile signings in recent seasons. Players like Andreas Christensen, Ilkay Gundogan, and Inigo Martinez have made a significant impact at Barcelona. Franck Kessie even generated a profit for the club from his sale after just one season with the team. The jury is still out on Eric Garcia, while there have also been some misses, such as Marcos Alonso.

Arne Slot ‘insists’ on shock move for ex-Man Utd star Greenwood as Liverpool ‘lead’ Barcelona

Liverpool boss Arne Slot believes former Manchester United forward Mason Greenwood can ‘become one of the great players in the Premier League’ under his watch and ‘insists’ on a shock move for the 23-year-old. A case against Greenwood of alleged rape and assault was discontinued by the Crown Prosecution Service at the start of 2023 after the withdrawal of key witnesses significantly reduced the chance of conviction. Man Utd pulled the plug on his return ahead of the 2023/24 campaign and he joined La Liga side Getafe on loan, contributing eight goals and six assists, before moving to Marseille in a permanent £26m deal ahead of the current campaign. Greenwood is already being linked with another move after five goals and an assist in his first seven games for the Ligue 1 side, with Barcelona...

Jeremy Doku then added a third for the Citizens, before Rodrigo Muniz pulled another back for Marco Silva’s side. Fulham were unable to find an equaliser, though, and the victory puts City second in the table, behind leaders Liverpool. Kovacic is likely to be used regularly by manager Pep Guardiola with Rodri set to be sidelined for the remainder of the season, but in the meantime it appears City are attempting to sign a Serie A midfielder.

Juventus considering terminating Paul Pogba’s contract despite ban reduction

According to Fabrizio Romano, Juventus could consider terminating Paul Pogba’s (31) contract at the club despite the player being cleared to play again. The France international midfielder has had a 4-year doping ban from football reduced by the Court of Arbitration for Sport after 18 months. The former Manchester United midfielder tested positive for a banned substance after a match in which he was an unused substitute against Udinese. Following the decision of the CAS to reduce the midfielder’s ban, he would be able to return to Juventus training in January. In addition to a return to training in the new year, the 31-year-old could have been targeting a March return to football.

It has been a tricky start to the new season for Ten Hag, who was under pressure last term before seemingly saving his job by beating rivals Manchester City to lift the FA Cup. United have started this campaign in poor form, though, winning just three of their nine games so far across all competitions. Last time out the Red Devils were humiliated 3-0 at the hands of Tottenham Hotspur, with captain Bruno Fernandes being sent off at Old Trafford. Despite i...
