According to BILD, Borussia Dortmund wants 150 million euros for Liverpool and Real Madrid target Jude Bellingham. Manchester City and Chelsea are also all interested in signing the English midfielder next summer.

Liverpool are unlikely to be put off, but the player’s addition could be crucial with the Reds’ chances of finishing in the top four in the Premier League looking bleak. Jurgen Klopp’s team has time to turn things around, but four…

Transfer guru Fabrizio Romano has revealed how Manchester United struggled to complete the signing of former River Plate striker Julian Alvarez before the Argentine’s move to Manchester City. The 22-year-old joined City in January for an estimated fee of 14 million pounds. He agreed to a five-and-a-half-year contract until the summer of 2027.

According to La Gazzetta Dello Sport, Tottenham manager Antonio Conte is tempted by a return to Juventus and is a leading contender to replace Massimiliano Allegri.

Virat Kohli showcased another incredible knock in the run chase against Pakistan as India won by four wickets in their Super 12 match of the T20 World Cup at the Melbourne Cricket Ground on Sunday. India appeared to be out of the match after being reduced to 31/4 while chasing 161. But Kohli brought them back into the game with a brilliant 113-run stand with Hardik Pandya, who also played a crucial knock of 40 from 37 deliveries. Near the end of the match, India’s victory appeared improbable, as they needed 48 points from three overs. But Kohli pushed the accelerator and…

Terms were finalised on Friday at Arsenal’s training ground during a meeting between the player, his representatives, and senior club staff. The contract is seen as a reward for the progress the player has made following his 26-million euro move from Lille in September 2020. This season, the 24-year-old has been a cornerstone of Arsenal’s defensive improvement under Mikel Arteta, forming a balanced, imposing partnership at centre-back with William Saliba. He…

The Blaugrana bounced back from their Clasico loss with a 3-0 home La Liga win over Villarreal on Thursday, thanks to a brace from Robert Lewandowski. Xavi’s side, however, remained second in the table with 25 points, three behind Real Madrid, who cruised past Elche 3-0 on Wednesday. Xavi promised to shake things up, and he delivered, making five changes to a team that was completely outclassed in a Sunday’s loss to Real Madrid. That was another major setback for the Catalans, who are on the verge of being eliminated from the Champions League after a 3-3 home draw with Inter…

Liverpool defeated Manchester City 1-0 thanks to Mohamed Salah’s sensational second-half goal in a tense match at Anfield that also saw Jurgen Klopp sent off. The Egyptian produced a brilliant piece of control to take down Alisson’s long kick and spin away from Joao Cancelo before beating Ederson with a cool finish (76) as Liverpool put their recent struggles behind them.

Pep Guardiola was enraged earlier in the game when a Phil Foden goal…
