Barcelona starlet Iliax Moriba’s future continues to be a matter of speculation. The 18-year-old broke into the first team last term and soon established himself as a regular. Needless to say, the club wants to tie down the player for years to come, with only one year left in his current deal. The talks to extend Moriba’s contract have been ongoing for a while now and neither of the involved parties are willing to stand down, Barcelona rightly so. The 18-year-old is at the start of his career and is said to be demanding around £6 million/year. The demands are…

Portuguese superstar Cristiano Ronaldo will not leave Juventus in the ongoing summer transfer window, according to Juventus’s vice-president Pavel Nedved. Ronaldo has been the focal point of a lot of transfer speculation lately. In what a sensational transfer, the five-time Ballon d’Or winner joined Italian heavyweights Juventus in 2018, after nine illustrious seasons with Real Madrid. The deal cost the Old Lady over €100 million. The first two seasons in Italy went smoothly for Ronaldo. He scored goals for fun, as his brilliance helped Juventus lift two Serie A titles and two Supercoppa Italiana titles in those years. The last…
Manchester United are determined to build on their second-place finish in the last season and reclaim the Premier League title for the first time since 2013, next term. The Red Devils have made a bright start to the summer window as the market approaches the busier part. The former Premier League champions have already secured the signings of Tom Heaton and Jadon Sancho with ease and are now moving on to their next target in Real Madrid star Raphael Varane. United’s defense was one of the major talking points of the last season as they conceded quite a number of…
The Catalans are desperately looking to balance their books due to the financial mess. Not to forget, the Blaugrana is currently undergoing a transition as they look to reclaim the La Liga title and pose a serious threat to the UEFA Champions League, just like they have done all these years. First up is the French international Antoine Griezmann. The striker had a superb 2021 with the former La Liga champions and was considered to be an ‘untouchable’ at the start of the summer window. However, the recent developments have forced Barcelona to rethink their transfer strategy as they look to…
Barcelona are currently looking for a way to lighten their wage bill and the best available option for the Blaugrana is to offload their current highest earner in Antoine Griezmann. Now, that would have been a little harsh on Griezmann who had a good 2021 with Barcelona but in all fairness, his stay at the Camp Nou has been pretty much underwhelming, overall. As it stands, unless Barcelona lighten their wage bill, they will not be able to complete the signing of Lionel Messi and as per some reports, they might not be able to register their new signings in…

Donny van de Beek was one of the talking points last term as the Dutch midfielder made his way to England last summer from Ajax. The 24-year-old, however, spent most of his time on the bench while making an odd appearance every now and then. It seems that his nightmare at Old Trafford could finally come to an end as Ole Gunnar Solskjaer looks set to cut him loose this summer. Daily Express reports that Barcelona were offered van de Beek recently. The Blaugrana were linked with such a move last summer. The former La Liga champions however have been cash-strapped and…
Newcastle United’s head coach Steve Bruce has claimed that the Magpies will keep badgering for Arsenal midfielder Joe Willock, but has also admitted that any permanent move for the 21-year-old depends on the North London club. In 78 appearances for the North London club, Arsenal academy product Willock has been able to find the back of the net only 11 times. With chances coming few and far between, Arsenal loaned Willock to Newcastle for the second half of last season to facilitate his development. The youngster has been brilliant for the Magpies, scoring 8 goals in 14 matches. Hence, United…
While the final between England and Italy was a thrilling watch, as was the entire competition, some avoidable incidents after the match somewhat marred the tournament’s success.

It was not only the highest attended football game in England since the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic, but it also marked England’s first-ever appearance in a European Championship final. An early goal by Luke Shaw in the second minute of the match gave England the lead, but…
Manchester United have made a bright start to this year’s summer window having already finalized the signing of Jadon Sancho. In other developments, they are looking to stabilize their backline as they are looking at Real Madrid’s Raphael Varane as the new partner for Harry Maguire at the heart of the defence. United’s leaky defence and a lack of a proper center-back apart from Maguire cost them their title challenge and the Europa League final. Varane is one of the best defenders on the planet, with him having won everything possible at Real in his glorious 10-year trophy-laden career. With only a…
