AC Milan is now in a strong position to end Walker's eight-year tenure at the Etihad Stadium, which has resulted in 17 titles across local and European competition, since those rumors have swiftly subsided.

Fabrizio Romano claims that Walker has already granted his approval to join, while the French publication L'Equipe claims that Milan has made a first offer to City for the midfielder, with no specifics provided.

Walker will undoubtedly be on the sidelines when City visits Ipswich Town in the Premier League on Sunday, and more negotiations are anticipated over the course of the following 24 to 48 hours. 

Although the 24-year-old will not be inexpensive, City seems to be quite interested in Andrea Cambiaso of Juventus as a Walker replacement. For a player they signed from Genoa in 2022, the Serie A powerhouses can anticipate receiving more than €60 million.

Additionally, City has reached an agreement with Eintracht Frankfurt to sign Egyptian forward Omar Marmoush, and they are nearing an agreement with Lens and Palmeiras for center-backs Abdukodir Khusanov and Vitor Reis, respectively.

Rashford’s representative ‘seen’ with Manchester City executives as ‘noticeable presence’ in the stands… to observe Aston Villa

By Damerex -

Marcus Rashford’s sibling and representative, Dwaine Maynard, has been ‘seen’ with Manchester City officials as a ‘noticeable presence’ to observe his brother playing football.  Rashford joined Villa on loan in January and achieved four goals and six assists during a mostly impressive period before sustaining a hamstring injury that appears likely to sideline him for the remainder of the season.  Earlier this week, a report suggested that Man Utd and Aston Villa are currently 'negotiating' about ending his loan prematurely.  Rashford realizes that there probably won't be a future for him at Old Trafford with Ruben Amorim, so the Red Devils will consider offers. He intends to meet with his employers prior to mid-June.  However, he might have to come back sooner than anticipated if both clubs reach an agreement, as he is unlikely to recover within three weeks. This occurs despite Villa having a £40m purchase option for Rashford included in their loan deal with United....

Arsenal icon Jens Lehmann asserts that Gunners manager Mikel Arteta will be dismissed next season if he fails to secure the Premier League title.  The Gunners are poised to finish second in the Premier League for the third consecutive season after Liverpool was confirmed as champions on Sunday.  A remarkable 5-1 victory against Tottenham secured the Reds’ 20th English top-tier championship, with Arne Slot’s team 15 points clear of Arsenal as they approached the last four games of the season.  Arsenal have struggled to match Liverpool in the latter half of the season, but their strong performance in the Champions League has lifted their spirits.  Two exceptional performances versus Real Madrid guaranteed a 5-1 aggregate victory in the quarter-finals, securing their spot against Paris Saint-Germain in the semi-finals.  Even though Arsenal had several good opportunities to score, they were unable to penetrate PSG's defense during their first leg match. Ousmane Demb...

Should Enzo Maresca consider benching Cole Palmer? Right now, he is the least effective player on Chelsea...

By Damerex -
Image
Enzo Maresca stated that Cole Palmer's lack of goals was a “mental” problem before the match, emphasizing it was unrelated to him, his strategies, or a playing style that has caused Chelsea to fall from title contenders to Champions League qualification outsiders now firmly established at Stamford Bridge.  "Absolutely, it's all in the mind." I don’t believe it’s tactical, nor do I believe it’s technical, since Cole remains the same player who scored for us this season. The type of football we play is the same as before. The manager remains the same. The club is identical. “Everything remains the same for Cole, and Cole remains unchanged.”  Palmer is evidently experiencing a deficiency in self-assurance. For an extended period during this dry spell, it seemed only a matter of time until he would conclude it, yet the confidence that characterized his exceptional football in his first season and a half at Chelsea now seems to have almost vanished, leading to the astonish...
