https://accustomednettlecurt.com/vp8npeb0xv?key=defd51fce81735d3cba7334bae3e9c91   Rasmus Hojlund and Manchester United "agree on a five-year contract" Manchester United have reportedly reached an agreement with Atalanta BC striker Rasmus Hojlund over personal terms. After completing the signing of midfielder  Mason Mount  and goalkeeper  Andre Onana  earlier this summer, the Red Devils are now pushing to recruit a new centre-forward before the new season begins. Erik ten Hag  recently revealed that Man United have 'made progress' in talks to sign a new striker this summer, and the Dutchman hopes that a deal can be completed as soon as possible. A host of names have been linked with a move to Old Trafford including Denmark international Hojlund, who appears to have emerged as United's primary striker target. The Red Devils have failed to make progress in their effort to sign the likes of  Tottenham Hotspur 's  Harry Kane ,  Eintracht Frankfurt 's  Randal K

According to rumors, Valencia's Giorgi Mamardashvili won't be acquired by Bayern Munich

                  Report: Bayern Munich will not sign Giorgi Mamardashvili from Valencia Bayern Munich’s admiration for Georgian goalkeeper Giorgi Mamardashvili is well known and it was thought that the Valencia shot-stopper could be Manuel Neuer’s heir to the throne. Not! Bayern will not sign the 22-year-old goalie after a presumed deliberation between those in charge; the talking stage only went as far as the “initial talks” phase: The Bavarians were also prepared to send Yann Sommer packing to Italy as Inter Milan came calling for him; Andre Onana has moved to Manchester United. With Mamardashvili off the table for the  Rekordmeister , the former Borussia Mönchengladbach man will not be allowed to move just yet as Bayern think that Neuer and Sven Ulreich as the GK roster for 2023/24 will not suffice. Yassine Bounou from Sevilla hasn’t said “no” to Bayern, but I won’t be surprised if Bayern do that before Bono. Let’s hope that new sporting director Christoph Freund has a few tricks u

Here We Go : Rasmus Hojlund prioritizes a move to Manchester United over a deal to PSG.

Rasmus Hojlund prioritising Man Utd move despite transfer interest from  PS G Atalanta striker Rasmus Hojlund is prioritising a move to Manchester United this summer despite Paris Saint-Germain contacting his representatives, according to Fabrizio Romano. The Denmark international has been identified as United’s prime striker target this summer, and they are ‘expected’ to make a formal bid for his services in the upcoming week. Paris Saint-Germain also hold an interest in landing the 20-year-old, but Romano says United have the upper hand, having already agreed personal terms with the young striker. Hojlund is also looking forward to joining the Red Devils. In an exclusive interview with Berlingske last month, the Dane admitted that he is a huge fan of the club. The Red Devils have so far signed Mason Mount and Andre Onana. The club should now focus on landing Hojlund, but a deal may not be straightforward for them. According to Alfredo Pedulla, United should table a bid of €60 million

DONE DEAL : Out-Of-Favour Inter Milan Star One Step Away From Joining Bournemouth

Out-Of-Favour Inter Milan Star One Step Away From Joining Bournemouth This according to Italian broadcaster SportMediaset, via  FCInterNews , who report that the 26-year-old Romanian international is close to making the switch to the Cherries. The Cherries are ready to bring the 26-year-old to the Premier League. Bournemouth have been looking to consolidate their team for new coach Andoni Iraola after they managed to avoid relegation from the top flight over the second half of last season. Radu will be one of the English side’s reinforcements. Since joining Inter in 2013 as an academy player from Pergolettese, Radu has gone out on a number of loan spells. The Romanian went out on loan to both Genoa and Parma in Serie A. During the 2021-22 season, Radu was Inter’s backup goalkeeper. However, this proved to be a step back for the keeper, who made a high profile error that caused the Nerazzurri to lose a Serie A clash with Bologna, a key moment in the title race which they lost to AC Mila

The Glazers have finally stepped down for Qaterri to take over Manchester United.

The Glazers have finally stepped down for Qaterri to take over Manchester United . Erik ten Hag recently met the Glazers wanting an update on the sale of the club but a major split in the key decision makers has seen the takeover stall Erik ten Hag recently met with the Glazers in the US to discuss the proposed takeover of Manchester United which has reached an impasse. Ten Hag met Avram Glazer at United’s pre-season base in New Jersey after he previously revealed his intentions to speak to the owners regarding the takeover saga. The Glazers first made their intentions to sell United known in November last year and despite receiving bids matching their £6billion asking price, there’s been no movement on their future with the club. And the lack of movement in the takeover comes from the Glazer family who are said to still be split over whether to sell the club or not. Avram and Joel Glazer are believed to still want to remain in control of the Old Trafford outfit but other members of th

In-Depth Interview with Jürgen Klopp on We Are Liverpool Podcast

Jürgen Klopp Gives Wide Ranging Interview on We Are Liverpool Podcast Liverpool played their first preseason game on Wednesday, a 4-2 victory against Karlsruher SC in Germany. Following that match, Jürgen Klopp sat down with the We Are Liverpool podcast to talk about his childhood, Liverpool, and their plans for the upcoming season. The interview took place in a hotel in Baden-Württemberg where Klopp grew up. He labeled his childhood “boring” as he trained constantly in not only football, but also tennis, table tennis, and skiing. The interview meanders a bit on the topic of movies and whether or not the Black Forest would have been a good setting for a Rocky movie. Turns out Klopp has some real opinions on this subject. He also admitted something that honestly blew my mind: he’s in an active group chat with a bunch of people he went to school with 40 years ago. That’s some next level alien stuff right there. Maybe things are different in Germany, but I talk to, like, one person I went

Brymo asked Simi to sleep with him in exchange for a collaboration

Image
  Singer-Songwriter  Brymo  opened up about his attempts to have sex with female artists in exchange for collaboration. Brymo is an artist whose personality has continuously divided attention through his unpopular antics that have placed him on crossed roads with colleagues, fans, and even people on social media.    In his latest antic, Brymo revealed on Twitter that he had attempted to have sex with female artists to form a stronger bond with them before collaborating with them.    It all started when a fan told Adekunle Gold that Brymo should have been on his album. Brymo replied to the tweet stating that  Adekunle Gold  has once reached out to him about a collaboration that never materialized. In the same tweet, Brymo also stated that he once attempted to collaborate with  Simi  on the condition that they get intimate. According to Brymo's tweet, the intimacy was meant to lead to intensity. Brymo also stated that although he feels remorseful for demanding sex from Simi as a cond

Tyler Adams is supposedly not for sale by Leeds United, despite claims to the contrary from David Moyes' West Ham United and Jurgen Klopp's Liverpool.

Image
 The Daily Mail   reported in June that West Ham “have made approaches” for USA international midfielder Adams. In June, TEAMTalk reported that Liverpool are among the clubs who are interested in signing the midfielder, who was described as “outstanding” by his Leeds teammate Luke Ayling in December 2022.  Leeds will play in the Championship next season after getting relegated from the Premier League. However, according to The Yorkshire Evening Post, Leeds do not want to sell Adams this summer. The report has noted that Leeds “see the retention of star players as being just as key as recruitment, due to the impact current high performers could have in the second tier”. In our opinion, Leeds United should not sell Tyler Adams to Liverpool or West Ham United in the summer transfer window. Just because Leeds will play in the Championship next season does not mean that they have to offload their best players. If Adams does not push for a move, then the West Yorkshire club should keep him.

Manchester United are closing in on the signings of Darren and Tyler Fletcher from Manchester City

 Manchester United   are closing in on the signings of Darren and Tyler Fletcher from   Manchester City , according to Fabrizio Romano . It's not just in senior football where clubs are continually wheeling and dealing, even youth football is becoming the scene of an increasing volume of big-money transfers. Manchester United and Manchester City are on the verge of concluding business on one of the biggest youth deals in history. Initially reported by  The Athletic  last month, Fabrizio Romano now claims that Manchester United are in the process of wrapping up a double swoop for the Fletcher twins, Jack and Tyler, from Manchester City. If the name rings a bell, that's because they are the sons of former United midfielder and the club's current technical director Darren Fletcher. A specific fee hasn't been mentioned, but the Italian transfer expert states that it will be a record deal for U16 players within the United Kingdom. In addition to a sum of money, Manchester Ci

Jordan Henderson is ready to give Liverpool millions to spend on new players.

  Jordan Henderson’s 12-year stay at Anfield appears to be edging towards its end. The 33-year-old Liverpool skipper has been at the centre of a transfer saga over the past 10 days or so as Reds legend Steven Gerrard, now manager of Saudi Arabian side Al-Ettifaq, has sought to bring him to the Middle East The England international, who has lifted the Premier League, Champions League, FA Cup, League Cup, FIFA Club World Cup and UEFA Super Cup during his time at Liverpool, was reported to have been offered an eye-watering £700,000 per week (more recent reports have lowered that to around £350,000 tax free) by Ettifaq to be their marquee signing at a time when the Saudi Pro League is making an almighty push to be recognised on the world stage through the acquisition of household European football names for big money. The deal is not there yet but a major step in making that happen was achieved on Wednesday when it emerged that Liverpool had accepted a £12m deal plus add-ons for Henderson,

Mendy joins French club Lorient after being cleared in the sex allegation.

  Mendy joins French club Lorient after being cleared in the sex allegation Benjamin Mendy signed for the French football club of Lorient, Brittany, on Wednesday, July 19, after the former Manchester City and France defender was acquitted in a sex offenses trial in England last week. "Lorient is happy to announce today the signing on a two-year deal of the French international left-back Benjamin Mendy," the Ligue 1 club said. Mendy, 29, was cleared of sex offences last week, ending a three-year court process. The player, who would have faced a lengthy jail term if convicted, had previously been cleared in January of six counts of rape and one of sexual assault following a six-month trial. But jurors in that trial had been unable to reach a verdict on two other counts, triggering the retrial that ended last week. Mendy, whose contract with English and European champions Manchester City expired at the end of June, had denied

  Marcus Rashford rejected lucrative offers from England and abroad to stay at Old Trafford; Forward scored 30 goals for third-placed Man Utd last season;   Watch Man Utd's first game of the Premier League season at home to Wolves live on Sky Sports on August 14, kick-off 8pm Manchester United forward Marcus Rashford has signed a new five-year contract at the club, ending speculation over his future. The England international, who has agreed a deal until the summer of 2028, rejected more lucrative offers from England and abroad to stay at Manchester United. His previous deal expired at the end of the upcoming 2023/24 season. The 25-year-old became the first player to breach the 30-goal mark for United since Robin van Persie in the 2012/13 season. Rashford's goals last season helped United secure a top-four finish and a return to the Champions League, which has helped convince him the club is on the right path under Ten Hag.

As the goalkeeper begins his sixth season with Liverpool, Alisson Becker is filled with inspiration and determination.

  Five years of Alisson Becker: Trophies, big saves and that unforgettable header With today the fifth anniversary of Alisson Becker's arrival at Liverpool, we take a statistical look back on a remarkable half-decade for the Brazilian at the club. Signed from AS Roma in the summer of 2018, Alisson has gone on to play an integral part in the successes the Reds have achieved under Jürgen Klopp - including Champions League and Premier League honours. His phenomenal record between the posts shows a century of clean sheets for the club in 231 appearances, with the milestone 100th registered when Brentford were beaten 1-0 at Anfield in May. "This is not only a number of myself," he insisted modestly after that game. "It's from all the boys, from all the staff, goalkeeping coach department, everybody. We work together with a common goal and a clean sheet is a common goal of ourselves." Only six men have ever kept more shutouts for the club, and Alisson will bypass
