Manchester united to trigger contact extension clauses on 4 first team stars

By
Manchester United will trigger contract extension clauses on four first team stars that will stop them from holding talks with other clubs in January.
According to reports, the Red Devils are ready to extend the deals of Juan Mata, Ander Herrera, Ashley Young and Daley Blind.
All are out of contract at the end of the current season but Manchester United have the option to extend their deals by a further 12 months, tying them at the club until summer 2019.
The call follows an earlier decision to make the same move with Luke Shaw.
Making the decision before the turn of the year will stop the players from being able to talk with foreign clubs in January about a potential move, at least openly.
Herrera in particular has become a concern with the Spaniard linked with a move to Atletico Madrid.
Meanwhile Juan Mata, who has struggled to get into the Manchester United side this season, has been linked with Real Madrid.
The decision to extend their contracts, reported by The Telegraph, does not necessarily mean the players will remain at the club until at least 2019. But it does give Jose Mourinho more time to consider if he wants them to stay or should be sold next summer.
In the case of Shaw, his exit seems inevitable despite his contract being extended.

Chelsea officially signs Germany and Roma defender Antonio Rudiger

By

Chelsea finally made Antonio Rudiger's move to the club official Sunday as the former AS Roma defender signed a five-year contract with the Blues. The club announced the news via its official website. In a statement, Rudiger expressed his joy at joining the Premier League champions: "It's a great feeling because not every player has the opportunity to join a huge club like this. "I am looking forward to meeting up with my new team-mates, and I'm very proud to officially become a Chelsea player." The 24-year-old joined Roma from VfB Stuttgart in 2015, with his loan move made permanent last summer. He enjoyed a fine 2016-17 campaign and played a key role in Germany's run to the 2017 FIFA Confederations Cup. Blessed with remarkable athleticism and pace for a defender, he greatly improved his vision in Italy and became a complete centre-back. He's also comfortable playing on the left or right side of a three-man defence, which made him a perfect tar...

Abramovich move to settle rift between Conte and David Luiz

By
Image
Chelsea owner Roman Abramovich is investigating whether there is a growing problem between manager Antonio Conte and the players. The Russian billionaire is increasing his involvement in the day-to-day running of the club following the resignation of technical director Michael Emenalo on Monday. According to Sportsmail, Abramovich visited Chelsea’s Cobham HQ last week, and has already made enquiries over the relationship between Conte and his squad. Having fallen out with Diego Costa last season before selling him in the summer, question marks are being raised over Conte’s relationship with David Luiz. The Brazilian was axed from the squad that beat Manchester United on Sunday. Despite Conte’s insistence that the decision was tactical, it is understood the axe came after Luiz questioned the Italian in training last week. But while Abramovich is not questioning Conte’s handling of the Luiz situation, the latest stand-off has raised concerns of a rift between the manager and...

Arsenal miss out on top 4 for the first time in 21 years despite 3-1 win over Everton

By
Image
Needing slip-ups from either Liverpool or Manchester City on the final day of the season to have any chance of a top-four finish, Arsenal took an eighth-minute lead through Hector Bellerin. They did suffer a setback when Laurent Koscielny was sent off for a late lunge on Enner Valencia in the 14th minute, ruling him out of the FA Cup final, but doubled their lead through Alexis Sanchez in the 27th minute. Everton, who started with Ross Barkley on the bench, pulled a goal back through Romelu Lukaku's penalty after Rob Holding handled in the penalty area. But the Gunners, who lost Alexis Sanchez to injury in the 68th minute, secured victory thanks to Aaron Ramsey's injury-time strike. Arsenal's victory was in vain though in terms of Champions League qualification as Liverpool cruised to a 3-0 victory at home to relegated Middlesbrough, while Manchester City hammered Watford 5-0. It means a first finish outside the top four for Arsenal during Arsene Wenger's tenure at...

What Conte told Chelsea players at halftime against Bournemouth

By
Image
Chelsea came through their Premier League encounter with Bournemouth 1-0 on Saturday to avoid slipping further behind in the title race. The Blues dominated the encounter on the South Coast, however they only managed to score the one goal. Eden Hazard scored that goal just after half time following a fine assist from Alvaro Morata. Speaking after the match, Cesar Azpilicueta revealed what Chelsea manager Antonio Conte said to the players at half-time. ‘Keep going. Keep the intensity we were having,’ he said. ‘Basically we were playing well and recovered the ball high. We were dangerous going forward on many occasions but we lacked the goal. We know in England if you don’t score it is harder and harder. The Italian told BT Sport: ‘After half time was to continue to play our football. In first half we were unlucky to finish the half 0-0. But in the second half we started well and scored and created more chances.’ Antonio Conte confirmed that was t...

Argentina captain Lionel Messi has spoken to TyC Sports as he prepares for his country's game with Russia this weekend, which will serve as the official inauguration of the Luzhkini Stadium in Moscow.  Messi, among other things, revealed his excitement at making the World Cup but also responded to claims he runs the Argentina team in terms of squad and coach selection.  He was also asked about the chance of returning to Newell's Old Boys when he ends his career with Barcelona.  MESSI'S BEST PHRASES: "I would like to play for Newell's but the truth is that I don't know what could happen." "To play at La Bombonera was a beautiful experience"   "It's a lie that I put my friends and the coaches I want in the national team, I'm just one more player." "There's nothing to clarify with Dybala. I understood from the first moment what he wanted to say." "I have a chat pending with Maradona." ...

A.Madrid Progress despite Drawing goalless

By
Image
Last term's runners-up therefore became the third Spanish side into the last eight, along with Barcelona and holders  Real Madrid , giving LaLiga the most teams in Friday's draw. Had Bayer progressed, the Bundesliga would have held that honour. In an entertaining contest, Leverkusen created good chances, several for ex- Manchester United  forward  Javier Hernandez , but when they hit the target they found keeper Jan Oblak in unbeatable form, including with a scarcely-believable triple save. Similarly Bernd Leno pulled off some stunning stops. The Vicente Calderon, where Diego Simeone's side have a formidable European record, will therefore host at least one more  Champions League  tie before Atletico move to a new ground. The visitors had changed manager since the first leg, Tayfun Korkut replacing Roger Schmidt who was sacked after a 6-2 loss at Borussia Dortmund . Simeone had Fernando Torres available for the first time since the former Liverpool and Chel...

Manchester City defender  Danilo  spoke to El Larguero, a Spanish radio programme, following the Premier League side’s penalty shoot-out victory over Wolverhampton Wanderers in the Carabao Cup. The Brazilian refused to choose one over the other when asked who he will choose between Zidane and Guardiola. “They’re two great coaches. I had a really good relationship with Zidane during my two years at Real Madrid and now I’m really good with Guardiola.” The formal Madrid man praised his compatriot for his improvement. “He’s Brazilian but I didn’t know him,he has surprised me with his quality and maturity despite only being 20 years old.” He also said something about Messi and Bale. He said that the Pep Guardiola “has not asked about Bale”, but admitted that he would love to play alongside the Argentine: “We have a really good squad, but you can improve everything… Messi is a genius. ...
