Reports indicate that Liverpool will allow Arne Slot to have the ‘final say’ as Real Madrid looks to exchange Rodrygo for Alexis Mac Allister this summer.  The Reds clinched the Premier League title on Sunday with four games remaining after defeating Tottenham 5-1 in a dominant performance at Anfield.  Liverpool lead their closest competitors, Arsenal, by 15 points – with the Gunners likely to end up as runners-up for the third consecutive season – and now the Reds can focus on their summer objectives.  Slot’s squad received a significant uplift recently when Mohamed Salah and Virgil van Dijk inked new two-year deals after speculation they might depart on free transfers in the summer.  A player who is highly expected to depart is Trent Alexander-Arnold, with numerous reports suggesting he will move to Real Madrid when his contract ends in late June.  Reports from Spain suggest that Real Madrid may be poised to sign another Liverpool star, as Defensa Central stat...

Amad Diallo speaks out following shocking injury news from Man Utd.

By Damerex -

•Amad likely sidelined for the remainder of the season due to an ankle injury. 

•The 22-year-old has emerged as one of Manchester United's most dependable attacking options. 

•Ivorian turns to social media to voice discontent over setback.

Manchester United striker Amad Diallo has promised to return even stronger after stating on social media that he will be sidelined due to injury "for a while." 

The 22-year-old's success at Old Trafford has marked one of the few highlights in yet another particularly disheartening season for the 13-time Premier League champions. 

Ruben Amorim stated in his press conference on Friday that United experienced several injury setbacks over the week, but he refrained from disclosing any names ahead of the matchup with Tottenham Hotspur. 

It was later disclosed that Kobbie Mainoo, Manuel Ugarte, and Toby Collyer had sustained various injuries, before reports emerged on Saturday afternoon that Amad might be sidelined for the remainder of the season due to an ankle ligament tear. 

Using social media, the Ivorian informed United's fans that he will be sidelined for a while, but did not completely dismiss the possibility of returning this season. 

"Deeply disheartened to have to send this message during such an important time of the season," Amad stated. Regrettably, I will be unavailable for a period due to an injury. 

"I will return more powerful than ever!!" It's time to back the guys from afar. Plenty still at stake"


Amad has netted six goals in the Premier League this season, with crucial strikes against Manchester City and Liverpool, along with a hat-trick in the 3-1 comeback victory over Southampton, and he has also contributed six assists. 

He has emerged as one of Amorim's key players, excelling in a forward position after joining the squad as a wing-back, but must now observe as the Portuguese head coach considers strategies to adjust the team's balance without him. 

Since Mason Mount is still injured and unable to play, Marcus Rashford and Antony have left the team on loan. As a result, January acquisition Patrick Dorgu, who was primarily signed to play left wing-back for Lecce during the first half of the Serie A season, may be asked to fill in in a similar capacity.

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....

Although Enzo Maresca emphasizes that the advancements at Chelsea are evident due to the owners' support during his initial season at Stamford Bridge, reports indicate that the Blues' board is now 'split' regarding the Italian's future.  In the face of fan discontent during a stretch where Chelsea has secured only seven victories in 18 Premier League matches, dropping from title contenders to outsiders for Champions League spots, reports indicate there are now ‘significant concerns regarding his style of play,’ and ‘the noticeable decline in performance from star player Cole Palmer has also attracted attention.’  Ending up in the top five will probably save him, with the UEFA Conference League serving as the icing on what would be a successful season. Even if he fails to qualify, it might not result in his dismissal. However, we've prepared a list of 10 managers that we believe the Chelsea leadership will/should consider if they decide to part ways with Maresca....

Arsenal icon Lehmann issues sack warning to Arteta following Champions League loss to PSG

By Damerex -

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...

By Damerex -

Manchester United manager Ruben Amorim has shared his thoughts on the possibility of Viktor Gyokeres being attracted to transfer from Sporting CP to Old Trafford this summer.  The Red Devils have faced challenges this season in the Premier League, with Ruben Amorim’s team sitting 14th in the standings as they approach the last four games of the season.  Just four Premier League teams have netted fewer goals than Man Utd this season, and Rasmus Hojlund and Joshua Zirkzee have faced significant criticism for their goal drought.  Hojlund netted his fourth goal in the Premier League this season during the 1-1 tie with Bournemouth on Sunday, whereas Zirkzee has managed just three.  Currently, there are intentions in the transfer market for Man Utd to acquire a new striker before the next season, with Gyokeres, Victor Osimhen, Liam Delap, and others mentioned.  Recent days have seen increasing speculation regarding a possible transfer for Gyokeres, with talk of a pote...
