Napoli Open Talks for Feyenoord Star Igor Paixao

Feyenoord Rotterdam forward Igor Paixao plays during the match between NAC and Feyenoord at the Rat Verlegh Stadium for the Dutch Eredivisie season 2024-2025 in Breda, Netherlands, on February 15, 2025. Napoli and Feyenoord have reportedly held preliminary talks over Igor Paixao’s potential summer transfer to Serie A. According to Calciomercato, the Scudetto hopefuls have tested the waters for the sought-after forward. Despite offloading star winger Khvicha Kvaratskhelia to Paris Saint-Germain this winter, Napoli failed to sign an adequate replacement in the January transfer window. Noah Okafor arrived on a short-term loan from Milan but will likely return to the San Siro in the summer. Okafor will likely be on the bench when Napoli take on Milan in tonight’s Serie A blockbuster on h...

Arteta talks forward options for West Ham game

WOLVERHAMPTON, ENGLAND - JANUARY 25: Arsenal's manager Mikel Arteta gestures to William Saliba during the Premier League match between Wolverhampton Wanderers FC and Arsenal FC at Molineux on January 25, 2025 in Wolverhampton, England. Mikel Merino was the talk of the town following last weekend’s 2-0 win away to Leicester City. He came on in the 69th minute at King Power Stadium before heading in our opening goal and tapping home the second. After the game, Merino - who is typically deployed in midfield - said he’d never played up front in his career before, not that it looked that way! Naturally, the question on the lips of reporters at Mikel Arteta’s pre-West Ham United press conference on Friday was whether we’d see more of the same at Emirates Stadium on Saturday. Our head coach spo...

Villa, meanwhile, were keen on signing Felix last summer before losing out to Chelsea. According to RMC Sport, Villa have retained their interest in signin...

(Photo by Stephen White - CameraSport via Getty Images) Barcelona want to sign Marcus Rashford this month, and although a deal will be very tough to pull off, they are determined to make it happen. The player himself also wants the move, although he is becoming restless about the lack of progress made on negotiations with Manchester United. Because of their well-documented financial problems, Barcelona must orchestrate at least one departure before they can make a definitive move for Rashford. Eric Garcia is the most likely to leave this month, although the club ...
