Man City consider Donnarumma as Ederson replacement?

The Turkish government and football federation have pledged to act swiftly and decisively after a referee was attacked during a top-flight match on Monday.

Referee Halil Umut Meler was approached on the pitch and hit by the president of MKE Ankaragucu, Faruk Koca, after a stoppage-time equaliser for their Turkish Super Lig opponents Caykur Rizespor.

Players and officials joined the melee or tried to intervene, and it has since been confirmed that Meler suffered a broken bone as a result of the attack.

Meler, who has officiated in UEFA matches in the past, including West Ham’s Europa Conference League semi-final first leg against AZ Alkmaar last season, was visited in hospital by the country’s interior minister and the Turkish Football Federation (TFF) preside…

Antonio Conte has no problem with Son Heung-min s form as he backed the Tottenham forward to hit the goal trail following a barren start to the season.

While Tottenham have begun the new Premier League campaign well, taking seven points from their first three outings, Son has struggled to replicate his fine form from last season.

Son shared the Premier League s Golden Boot with Liverpool s Mohamed Salah after scoring 23 goals last term but is yet to find the net in 2022-23.

Speaking ahead of Sunday s trip to promoted Nottingham Forest, however, Conte praised the attitude of the South Korea international and insisted the goals will come. 

You know very well we re talking about a really, really important player for me and for the club, he said.

Liverpool have recently re-signed a number of key players in their squad, but talks are under way with star forward Mohamed Salah. 

The two-time Premier League Golden Boot winner has less than two years remaining on his current deal with the Reds. 

Virgil van Dijk, Alisson and skipper Jordan Henderson all recently committed their long-term futures to Liverpool, as well as full-back pair Trent Alexander-Arnold and Andy Robertson.

LaLiga has struck a 15-year deal with multinational media, sports and entertainment company Relevent which looks set to bring a Spanish top-flight match to the United States for the first time.

Thursday s announcement sees LaLiga partner with Relevent, the company behind the International Champions Cup, in a move that aims to promote the division in the US and Canada.

The idea of major European leagues being hosted in other parts of the world is not a new phenomenon, with the Premier League discussing in 2008 potentially having an international round , but that never came to fruition.

With LaLiga North America set up as a new organisation, Relevent say the agreement will boost Spanish football s growth in the USA and Canada through consumer-related activities, in…

Manchester City eased into the final of the Club World Cup with a comfortable 3-0 win over Japanese side Urawa Red Diamonds on Tuesday.

Without Erling Haaland, the Champions League winners needed an own goal to launch their campaign in Saudi Arabia but second-half strikes from Mateo Kovavic and Bernardo Silva saw them stroll to victory.

Having already added the European Super Cup to last season’s treble, City will now have the chance to claim a fifth trophy of the calendar year when they face Brazil’s Fluminense in Friday’s final in Jeddah.

Harry Kane s future at Tottenham remains in limbo, given his contract status and the departure of Antonio Conte.

The 29-year-old forward, who recently became Spurs all-time leading scorer, is out of contract in 2024.

Kane has previously spoken about his desire to contend for silverware and almost joined Manchester City in 2021.

Sergio Aguero scored twice but a suspected knee injury for Aymeric Laporte cast a shadow over Manchester City s comfortable 4-0 home win over Brighton and Hove Albion.

Laporte s celebrations of a long-awaited France call-up this week appear likely to be short-lived after he was taken off on a stretcher in the first half.

The 25-year-old went down in discomfort following a collision with Adam Webster, an incident that is sure to give Pep Guardiola several sleepless nights over the international break.

City were leading courtesy of Kevin De Bruyne s second-minute opener and Aguero added two more either side of the interval before teeing up Bernardo Silva to add the icing 17 seconds after his introduction.

The champions started in the manner expected of the…

According to a recent report from Sky Sports, Italian club Sampdoria are on the verge of purchasing Emil Audero. The goalkeeper, who had been linked to a series of different clubs around Europe, now seems to be settled on making his deal with Sampdoria permanent. He has been on loan with the club since last year, with the 22 year old now being tipped to make it a permanent deal for €20 million. The news was announced by Massimo Ferrero, the club’s president, as Audero edges closer to ending his tenure with Juventus. He’s been with the Italian champions since back in 2008 during his youth club days, but he hasn’t been able to gain any kind of consistency in the first team.

Audero is a highly sought after young goalkeeper and has been for quite some time now, as he attemp…

Jadon Sancho wants to bring excitement to iconic Chelsea, and is looking to emulate idols Frank Lampard and Didier Drogba following his Deadline Day move from Manchester United.

The winger joined the Blues on a season-long loan deal which, according to widespread reports, includes an obligation to buy for between £20million and £25million.

That means Sancho would not be returning to Old Trafford, where he found first-team opportunities limited after a public falling out with head coach Erik ten Hag.

The 24-year-old, who made 83 appearances for United, spent the second half of last season on loan with former club Borussia Dortmund, helping the Bundesliga side reach their third Champions League final along the way.

Sancho appeared from the bench in the Re…

According to a recent report from Tuttosport, Juventus have offered Paulo Dybala a contract extension that would last until the summer of 2025. The forward has been heavily linked with a move away from the Italian champions for quite some time now, especially this past summer when it seemed as if Tottenham Hotspur and Manchester United were going to be putting forward some very serious bids in an attempt to sign him. 

Alas, now, it seems like Juve have turned a corner with the Argentine after it initially seemed like he wasn’t going to be featuring in any of Maurizio Sarri’s plans moving forward. 

The belief is that the club have realised their initial stance was a mistake on their part, and that they’re planning on him being a big part of their future in the…
