Once he is confirmed as the new manager of FC Barcelona, Hansi Flick will be fully involved in the sporting planning that director Deco has been working on for some time heading into the summer. It has been constantly suggested that Barcelona need to sell at least one big player due to their Financial Fair Play issues. Names like Frenkie …

Former Man United, Everton and England striker, Wayne Rooney, always seems to manage to get himself in the headlines one way or another. On the pitch, he was fearless and peerless, as his record-breaking totals for both the Red Devils and his country would attest, but off it, he’s written the headlines for far more salacious reasons. Arguably, if he …

Stelios Giannakopoulos feels Olympiacos are the team of destiny in this year’s Europa Conference League – just like Greece were at Euro 2004. The 49-year-old played nearly 200 games for Olympiacos before spending five seasons in the Premier League with Bolton and then a shorter spell at Hull City. He was also part of the Greece squad which upset France …

It is no secret that Vitor Roque’s future at Barcelona is still uncertain. The Brazilian player lost prominence under Xavi, and even though Hansi Flick’s arrival was hoped to bring positive changes, nothing has been finalised yet. For now, Barcelona’s sporting department needs to come to an agreement with Hansi Flick about the future of the Brazilian striker.  As such, …

Karl-Anthony Towns and Anthony Edwards had struggled during the first three games of the Western Conference Finals. Their drop in production had been a major reason for the 0-3 series deficit that they brought into Game 4 against the Dallas Mavericks, and it looked as though they’d be swept unless the two stars for the Timberwolves were able to step …

Manchester United midfielder Casemiro is likely to leave the club this summer but an asking price has not yet been decided for the experienced Brazil international, according to transfer news journalist Fabrizio Romano. The Red Devils only signed Casemiro from Real Madrid last season, and he made a strong start to life at Old Trafford before fading rather worryingly in …

Daniel Farke will remain Leeds United boss despite the club’s failure to reach the Premier League, although the club could have to sell some of its leading players. Farke signed a four-year deal at Elland Road last summer but Sunday’s 1-0 defeat to Southampton in the Championship play-off final at Wembley inevitably prompted speculation he could be moved aside. Leeds …

Earlier this month, reports emerged claiming that Barcelona had shown an interest in signing Bayer Leverkusen midfielder Exequiel Palacios. It is no secret that Barça are in the market for a new No. 6 and with a move for Joshua Kimmich seemingly ruled out, they are in need of finding alternatives. As such, it has been suggested that Palacios, who …

Italian football journalist Matteo Moretto believes that the return of Alvaro Morata isn’t a primary objective for Juventus at the moment. The Spaniard had two spells in Turin and remains deeply attached to the club. He first joined the Bianconeri in 2014, but Real Madrid exercised their buy-back option in 2016. The 31-year-old then returned to Continassa in 2020 and …

After a largely disappointing end to the 2023/24 Premier League campaign, Ange Postecoglou appears acutely aware of his own responsibilities, and those of his Tottenham players.
