This winter transfer window, Manchester City quickly secured the signings of two promising young defenders, Huseynov and Res, and also prepared a five-year contract worth 30 million euros for Juventus' full-back Cambiasso. In no time, Manchester City's defense completed its generational transition. On the front line, Coach Guardiola has set his sights on Marmoush from Bundesliga's Eintracht Frankfurt, but the two clubs have not been able to agree on the transfer fee. Besides Marmoush, Spanish media fichajes revealed that Manchester City hopes to bring in Rafinha from Barcelona during the summer window. Manchester City's rebuilding work is swift and decisive because they are not short of funds and are willing to invest in the transfer market. According to Spanish media reports, Manchester City is willing to pay 84 million pounds to bring in Rafinha from FC Barcelona this summer. Manchester City has long been interested in Rafinha, hoping to strengthen their attack with a player who has performed outstandingly in La Liga. This season, Manchester City once faced a problem of lacking firepower up front. On the forward line, apart from Haaland, the other two wingers hardly score goals. The four major wingers, Nunes, Savigno, Doku, and Grealish, have only scored four goals in the Premier League. On the contrary, the 28-year-old Rafinha is very good at scoring goals. He shone in his third season at Barcelona, scoring 22 goals and providing 9 assists in 29 games, forming a top attacking trio in European football with Lewandowski and Yamar. Rafinha's fiery performance successfully caught the attention of Guardiola. If two…

On January 22nd, Beijing time, famous Italian football market journalist Daniele Longo and his team confirmed that Napoli has reached a personal contract with Ghanaian player, offering him an after-tax annual salary of 4 million euros. Apologies to Brother Joe for speaking too loudly in the past, I didn't realize you were truly valuable. Manchester United initially demanded 70 million pounds, while Napoli offered 50 million euros, with Conte personally calling to invite him. Impressive! An after-tax salary of 4 million euros translates to a pre-tax annual salary of 6.75 million pounds, or 130,000 pounds per week. Compared to his current contract, joining Napoli would increase Ghanaian's salary by 2.6 times. This transaction is destined to be a tough negotiation, with Di Marzio claiming that Manchester United's management has agreed to lower their price, now asking for 65 million euros. This is one of the most profitable transactions in recent Manchester United history, and also the most profitable youth training, providing ample space for future signings. For example, they are currently negotiating with left-back Dorgu. Left-back was a target during the winter window, with Manchester United previously favoring Nuno Mendes from Paris Saint-Germain. Unlike Ugart, who has higher demand, Nuno Mendes also insisted on a 60 million euro fee under the insistence of Paris and super-agent Mendes. This time, Manchester United did not meet the demand and chose to give up. The management then focused on Lecce star Dorgu. According to famous transfer journalist Romano on the 12th, Manchester United submitted their first official offer of 27 million euros plus…

Firstly, his offensive capabilities are commendable. In 67 games across various competitions, McAllister has scored 9 goals and contributed 7 assists. His offensive vision is extremely broad, always finding optimal solutions in rapidly changing matches. For example, in games against strong opponents, he often creates scoring opportunities by accurately passing long balls to break through the opponent's defense.

His coverage in midfield is extensive, with frequent interceptions and tackles providing a solid defensive line for the team. When facing counterattacks from opponents, McAllister can always retreat in time to thwart their offensive attempts. His presence has made Liverpool's midfield defense…

Recently, there has been a lot of talk about Mourinho possibly returning to the Premier League. This comes after his stint coaching Fenerbahce in the Turkish Super League this season, where he failed to deliver the expected results. Concerns have arisen over whether Mourinho might choose to leave at the end of the season due to his team's poor performance. Not only has Mourinho struggled to achieve good results with Fenerbahce, but his relationship with the Turkish Super League officials is also quite strained. He has openly criticized the league's referees and organizers on multiple occasions, stating that their management and refereeing are subpar, even going so far as to say it's the worst he's experienced among the leagues he's coached in. Mourinho's actions have undoubtedly angered the higher-ups in the Turkish Super League, making it difficult for him to continue coaching there. The prospect of Mourinho returning to the Premier League has become a hot topic, particularly with Newcastle United, currently fourth in the league, who have long sought to invite Mourinho to coach. The club's major backer shares a close relationship with Mourinho, who also serves as an advisor to their football academy. They have previously discussed the possibility of collaboration, but Mourinho chose to decline in favor of continuing to coach Roma. However, it now appears that returning to the Premier League is what Mourinho truly desires. The Premier League offers top-tier referees and a high level of attention, with player salaries and transfer fees significantly higher than those at Fenerbahce or his previous club, Roma. Mourinho…

The Arsenal loanee striker Tavares has shone brightly in Serie A this season. Not only has he become the guarantee of Lazio's remarkable performance, but he has also achieved the level of the top assist player in the entire competition, with outstanding performance. This has led many big clubs to pursue him, wanting to cooperate with him to enhance their strength. According to numerous news reports, Tavares is satisfied with his adaptability in Serie A. After discussing with his agent team, he decided to continue fighting here and does not want to return to the Premier League. Although Arteta wants him back, Tavares considers more. Therefore, this brings many possibilities to the transfer. It is reported that Juventus has been paying close attention to Tavares for a long time, and they have had in-depth communication with Arsenal. In the case where Cambiasso is likely to leave, they will consider making a move in this transfer window to buy him and improve their shortcomings. Compared to this, the price will be advantageous. It is reported that Juventus' asking price for Cambiasso is about 50 million at the bottom, but they can still "make a profit" by buying Tavares for 30 million. Currently, Manchester City is very interested in Cambiasso, and Guardiola sees him as Walker's successor. Not only Juventus recognizes him, it is reported that the Milan duo are also secretly exerting force, contacting Tavares' agent to try to sneak through. Such players are popular in competitions, and whoever buys them will be a big trump card. They don't want their…

During his tenure of over two years at Manchester United, Ten Hag's record did not meet the expectations placed upon him. The team remained in a mediocre position, and after the start of the new season, they plummeted to the bottom, leading to the management's decision to let him go. However, it appears that Ten Hag may soon find employment again, as last season's UEFA Champions League runner-up and Bundesliga powerhouse Borussia Dortmund has had an underwhelming season so far. They are keen on inviting Ten Hag to coach their team. Renowned journalist Chris Wheeler from the Daily Mail reported: "Ten Hag is likely to take over the team quickly after Borussia Dortmund's UEFA Champions League match this week. Upon taking charge of Dortmund, he will also make arrangements for his coaching staff, and he hopes that Dortmund can acquire his former player Rashford from his time at Manchester United." This news came as quite a surprise, as during his time at Manchester United, Ten Hag's relationship with Rashford was only average, and there were even rumors of him benching the "Prince of Manchester." Last season, Ten Hag fined Rashford for going to a nightclub instead of attending training with Manchester United. Therefore, it is somewhat perplexing that Ten Hag now wants to borrow Rashford to join Dortmund. Nonetheless, the reunion of these two former Manchester United figures in the Bundesliga could be a highly discussed topic. Both have the capability to achieve good results in the Bundesliga and potentially improve their reputations.

Perhaps witnessing Dalot's poor performance against Brighton, the Manchester United management finally made up their minds to bring in a proper left wing-back for Amorim. As a result, negotiations with Lecce over the transfer of Dorgu quickly unfolded. According to Romano, Manchester United and Lecce are engaged in formal club-to-club talks, and Dorgu's agent was also photographed arriving at Manchester Airport by the media. This deal has not only been approved by the Manchester United management but also received Amorim's endorsement. Currently, the focus of the negotiations is primarily on the transfer fee. Manchester United hopes to sign Dorgu for a price of 25 million euros. However, considering Dorgu's current market value and his immense potential, Lecce may insist on a 40 million euro asking price. After all, during this summer, Serie A clubs Juventus and AC Milan attempted to sign Dorgu, but their offer of 15 million euros was flatly rejected by Lecce, who firmly believes that Dorgu's value far exceeds that. If the Dorgu deal stalls due to transfer fee issues, Manchester United might consider including Malacia in the transaction to reduce transfer expenses. The 20-year-old Dorgu, born in Denmark, is a versatile player capable of playing any position on both sides. However, at Lecce, he is more often deployed in advanced positions, which stems from his excellent dribbling and forward development abilities. Additionally, his superior physical condition and abundant stamina allow him to run back and forth between the front and back courts, providing defensive and offensive support for the team. It is precisely because of these…

On that day, us night owl football enthusiasts were eagerly waiting in front of our screens, ready to witness this grand spectacle. Manchester United, a powerhouse in the Premier League with remarkable strength; while Viktoria Plzeň, though not as well-known, was also a formidable opponent at home, not to be underestimated. From the start of the first half, Manchester United unleashed their full power, dominating possession with a staggering 71%, making them the undisputed rulers of the pitch. However, the ball just wouldn't go in, causing us to anxiously wait. Viktoria Plzeň, on the other hand, had fewer shots but each one posed a significant threat, with 1 out of 8 shots on target, unfortunately, they couldn't capitalize on the opportunities. Thus, both sides ended the first half in a 0-0 draw, a scene that left us all feeling satisfied yet slightly regretful. As the second half began, the situation changed dramatically!
