Neymar accepts PSG's offer according to a Brazilian reporter

By

According to Esporte Interactivo, Paris Saint Germain will activate Neymar's €222m release clause in the coming weeks, ahead of a move to Ligue 1.

They also reported that Neymar has agreed to join the Ligue 1 side  if they can meet Barcelona demand.

Marcelo Bechlar, a journalist at Esporte, has stated that the player will move to Paris in the coming weeks. He wrote on Twitter: "Neymar accepts PSG's proposal. The French club will pay the €200 million in other to sign him.

PSG would need to meet that figure in order to sign the player. As a result, if the move goes through, the Brazilian would become the most expensive player in history by a considerable margin. 

The 25-year-old arrived from Santos in 2013 and Barcelona will try and keep one of their star.

Miroslav Klose to be special guest at world cup draw

By
Image
His name is synonymous with the World Cup so it is only fitting that former Germany striker Miroslav Klose will bring out the trophy as the draw is made for Russia 2018. Now retired, the upcoming tournament will be the first that the former Lazio man has missed since 2002, with his record of 16 World Cup goals intact. "For very obvious reasons, the World Cup holds very special memories for me," Klose told FIFA.com. "I feel very honoured to somehow still be a part of the World Cup, even after my retirement, and particularly to present to Russia and to the world this trophy that we fought so hard to win in Brazil in 2014." A total of eight draw assistants are to be drafted in by FIFA for the December 1 ceremony, with the first such confirmed to be 91-year-old Russian football legend Nikita Simonyan. click here for more

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

Chelsea coach Conte rubbish talk of him joining A.C Milan

By

Antonio Conte has brushed aside talk of a return to Italy after he led his Chelsea side to a 1-0 victory over Manchester United in the Premier League on Sunday. Chelsea edged United in a tense game at Stamford Bridge to keep their hopes of defending their title alive. It has been a difficult season so far for Chelsea with several disappointing results and injuries to key men.  Conte has often bemoaned the size of his squad and criticised Chelsea’s transfer activity, but the Italian was not interested in questions about links to AC Milan. ‘Milan? Leave it out,’ Conte told Sky Sport Italia after the win on Sunday. ‘We’re trying to stay concentrated, because it’s a tough run from here to the end of the season. Chelsea earned a crucial win against Manchester United. ‘I am only concentrated on Chelsea and purely want to do what is best for Chelsea.’ Milan have been consistently linked with Conte as they look to re-build their status in Serie A. Conte has been suggested as the l

Clint Dempsey scores twice to take Seattle Sounders to the final of Conference Cup

By

SEATTLE -- Three thoughts on the Seattle Sounders' 2-0 Western Conference semifinal win against the Vancouver Whitecaps in the MLS Cup Playoffs. There had been speculation prior to kickoff as to whether this could be Clint Dempsey's final match at CenturyLink Field. It is the Sounders' call whether or not to pick up the 34-year-old's team option for 2018 -- and after earning close to $3.9m this season, that decision is going to be agonized over in the front office. Dempsey's arrival in the summer of 2013 was a watershed moment in the modern history of the club, a personification of its long-term ambitions. It would be unfair to label him a bust, or anything close to it. The Texan has netted nearly 50 goals in more than four seasons in Seattle, and he helped deliver the memorable Open Cup/Supporters' Shield double back in 2014. There is a bit of a sense, however, that he hasn't completely lived up to the outsized hype that heralded his arrival. Throu

Leicester City maul Disgraceful Liverpool 3-1

By

Jamie Vardy scored twice as Leicester City climbed out of the relegation zone. Leicester striker Vardy struck in each half as the fallen champions finally decided to turn up with a much-needed performance just four days after Claudio Ranieri had been sacked. Danny Drinkwater also scored a spectacular first half effort as Leicester overwhelmed Liverpool as the King Power Stadium came alive again. Leicester fans chanted Ranieri’s name, held banners and even organised a march through the city centre while the players forgot all about him to produce a victory reminiscent of last season’s title success. Philippe Coutinho grabbed a late consolation for Liverpool but it was Leicester’s night with only their second win of 2017.

Gerard Pique to miss Barcelona and Valencia game next week

By
Ernesto Valverde  will a few problems to keep him occupied this week.  Gerard Piqué , w ho went into this afternoon's meeting with  Leganés  on four yellow cards, picked up a fifth booking on 29 minutes  for which means he will now miss next week's away trip to Valencia. Match official Alberto Undiano Mallenco dipped into his top pocket for his yellow card when Piqué grappled with Amrabat from behind. The decision enraged Valverde - as it didPiqué who was later seen mouthing to the ref that there was minimal contract as both teams made their way to the changing rooms at half-time. So Piqué is suspended and  Javier Mascherano remains out for a month with a hamstring tear which leaves Valverde with the bare minimum of options at the back next weekend at Mestalla. The coach will only have  Samuel Umtiti , who is also one booking away from suspension, and  Thomas Vermaelen , a player who has been plagued with injuries since joining the club. As if that's wasn't enough,

Ramos scores brace, Madrid beats Napoli 3-1

By
Real Madrid came from behind to secure a 3-1 away win against Napoli as the European Champions are through to the quarter finals with a 6-2 aggregate score. Knowing that they need to put pressure if they are going to have any chance of going through, Napoli took the initiative in the early stages of the match and were close after seven minutes. Marek Hamsik hit a low shot from outside the penalty area that ended up slightly wide.  The Italian team had another chance on the 13th minute. This time it was Lorenzo Insigne who fired a shot from distance that was parried by Keylor Navas for a corner.  Real Madrid responded five minutes later. Gareth Bale received the ball on the edge of the penalty area and sent a shot that was neutralised by Pepe Reina.  Napoli’s efforts paid off on the 24th Minute as they went ahead. Hamsik sent a through ball towards Dries Mertens who went inside the penalty area and finished past the opposing goalkeeper.  Conscious that they can’t sit back the whole

MESSI WOULDN'T HAVE BEEN THE SAME WITHOUT BARCELONA-CHARLY REXACH

By
Image
Over years of winning trophies, titles and personnel accolades, Lionel Messi has undoubtedly taken a podium place in terms of being one of the greatest to have ever played the game of football but without the aid of his club, however, Charly Rexach believes that such achievements may not have been possible. The former Barcelona chief was one of the men that was instrumental in bringing the Argentine star to Camp Nou many moons ago, and shared his opinions with a local radio station in Santa Fe about the whole process. "I was not the man who discovered Messi," Rexach told SuperDeportivo. "Messi discovered himself, because he is a player that was doing abnormal things from a young age. " Whether the Argentina international would have been as big of a success without the help of La Masia and his teammates over the years, however, is a different kettle of fish altogether.   "I believe that Messi, if he hadn't come to Barcelona, wouldn't have be

Eden Hazard: Am ready for any special tactics Jose Mourinho will bring in tomorrow's match

By

When the two sides met in April, the Belgian was effectively frozen out of the game due to a diligent man-marking display by Ander Herrera, which allowed United to run out 2-0 winners. Ahead of Sunday’s clash at Stamford Bridge, Hazard has been in excellent form but the 26-year-old is aware that Mourinho is likely to have another plan for him. ‘I don’t know, depends on the strategy that they can have, I remember last year at Old Traffor, maybe yes,’ Hazard told Sky Sports. ‘But if that happens I need to find a solution to shine. That’s my reason. ‘Last year at Old Trafford we didn’t find [a solution]. ‘So I hope on Sunday we can find something good, not just me but the eleven players on the pitch to win this game.’ Asked if he is already thinking about Mourinho’s strategy to stop him, Hazard replied: ‘I’ll just react on the pitch in the moment. ‘Because you never know the strategy before the game. ‘So when you are focused on the game you are thinking about scoring goal
