Moore: Liverpool aren’t for sale

Liverpool chief executive Peter Moore has rejected the idea that Fenway Sports Group are looking into the possibility of selling Liverpool Football Club. They purchased the Reds back in 2010, and while there have certainly been highs and lows, it seems as if they’re moving into an exciting new era with Jurgen Klopp at the forefront.

Moore noted that they’ve invested £2 million in capital investment, and that they have a vision for what they want the club to be.

Fans have forever been intrigued by what goes on behind closed doors in the world of football, especially with a club like Liverpool who divide opinion so often. Nonetheless, despite what everyone has said it certainly seems like things are on the up both on the pitch and off the pitch.

The Reds will…

Erling Haaland one of three Man City treble winners on shortlist for PFA award

Erling Haaland is one of three members of Manchester City’s treble-winning team to be nominated for the Professional Footballers’ Association Players’ Player of the Year award.

The 23-year-old Norway striker was a sensation in his debut season in English football, scoring 52 goals in all competitions as Pep Guardiola’s side won the Premier League, Champions League and FA Cup.

Haaland is joined on the six-man shortlist by Belgium playmaker Kevin De Bruyne and England international John Stones.

The Barnsley-born player, 29, was a revelation as Guardiola pushed him up from defence into midfield last season.

Arsenal were City’s closest challengers in the Premier League last term and two of their star performers, Bukayo Saka and Martin Odegaard, are …

Iran v Japan: Queiroz dismisses ´favourites´ tag

Iran coach Carlos Queiroz said the description of his side as favourites to win the Asian Cup was an ill-fitting tag as he prepares to face Japan in the semi-final without three-goal forward Mehdi Taremi.

Queiroz claimed Team Melli had achieved their tournament objective after Taremi scored the opening goal in a 3-0 quarter-final victory over China to help them reach the competition s last four for the ninth time.

Speaking before the elimination of South Korea and Australia at the hands of Qatar and United Arab Emirates, respectively, Queiroz played down his side s chances of winning a fourth Asian Cup title.

Our dream has always been to be in the middle of the top teams in the final four, something which we have now done and are very happy about, said the 65-y…

Pirlo, Pogba & Alves – Ramsey bidding to join Juve´s best freebies

Aaron Ramsey s upcoming move to Juventus was confirmed on Monday, with the Arsenal midfielder signing a pre-contract deal with the Bianconeri.

The Wales international was out of contract at Emirates Stadium at the end of this season and has committed his next four years to Juventus in a deal that will reportedly see him paid £400,000 a week.

Ramsey is far from the first star to make their way to Turin on a free transfer, however.

Juventus have made several smart moves in the transfer market in recent years and so we look at others who have taken this path at the end of their contracts.

Mane ready for Madrid move – Romeu

Sadio Mane is ready to make the move from Liverpool to Real Madrid and would be a success at the Santiago Bernabeu, according to former Barcelona midfielder Oriol Romeu. 

Mane has been in stunning form for the Premier League leaders in 2019, scoring 11 goals in his last 11 games in all competitions at club level as the Reds challenge for glory on two fronts. 

The forward is reportedly a top transfer target for Zinedine Zidane, with an overhaul apparently imminent after the coach s return to Madrid. 

Mane netted against the LaLiga club in last season s Champions League final and Romeu, who played alongside the Senegal international at Southampton, believes he can help get Madrid back on track. 

He is ready [for the move], Romeu told Marca of Mane…

Bayern sack Ancelotti after defeat at PSG

Carlo Ancelotti has been sacked as head coach of Bayern Munich following an underwhelming start to the season that culminated in Wednesday s 3-0 Champions League thrashing at Paris Saint-Germain.

Ancelotti had won the Bundesliga title in his first campaign in Germany, but results and performances have tailed off amid reports former club AC Milan are interested in the Italian and the Bayern board acted on Thursday.

Bayern are third in the league and second in their Champions League group, with dismal defeats to Hoffenheim and PSG exacerbated by further poor displays and apparent problems behind the scenes.

Ancelotti s assistant and former Bayern defender Willy Sagnol will take charge in the interim, though Hoffenheim coach Julian Nagelsmann has been long touted a…

Title glory, Costa row and Mourinho feud – Antonio Conte´s highs and lows at Chelsea

Antonio Conte s long-anticipated departure from Chelsea was confirmed on Friday.

The former Italy and Juventus boss led the Blues to a dominant title triumph in his first season at the helm, but the cracks soon started to show between himself, key players and the Chelsea hierarchy in the aftermath of 2016-17.

Running battles continued throughout last term, most notably with Manchester United boss Jose Mourinho and, although Conte lifted the FA Cup by besting his rival at Wembley, the situation proved beyond repair.

Here we look back at the highs and lows of the 48-year-old s Stamford Bridge reign as compatriot Maurizio Sarri waits in the wings.

Emirates humbling proves catalyst

Chelsea s start under Conte was mixed, with three opening Premier Leag…

Southampton and Crystal Palace eye Danny Welbeck

According to , Southampton and Crystal Palace are interested in signing Danny Welbeck on a free transfer. The former Arsenal forward has been released by his club Watford, who are playing in the Championship this season after getting relegated from the Premier League at the end of the 2019-20 campaign.

Welbeck joined Watford in the summer of 2019 on a free transfer following his departure from Arsenal. According to , the England international forward made eight starts and 10 substitute appearances in the Premier League for the Hornets last season, scoring two goals in the process.

The 29-year-old started his professional club football career at Manchester United and made 92 appearances in the Premier League, scoring 20 goals in the process. The forward moved to Arsenal …

Liverpool make bid for Cakir?

“There are offers for Cakir, we continue to receive offers. It’s been said Liverpool have made an offer,” Agaoglu said. 

“So a team that is undefeated in the Premier League wants my keeper. In other words Liverpool’s goalkeeper is in my goal.” 

Those are the words of Trabzonspor club president Ahmet Agaoglu who has made it clear that Liverpool have made some form of offer to try and sign goalkeeper Ugurcan Cakir. It certainly seems as if he may be trying to stir up some interest from other clubs, but given the fact that the Reds have put so much into the development of Alisson as their number one goalkeeper, it wouldn’t be surprising to see them do the same for a strong and capable number two. 

There could well be nothing to these repo…
