Real Madrid Launch Move to Hijack Man Utd Transfer

Published

on


Manchester United could face significant competition in the race to sign West Ham United midfielder Mateus Fernandes.

United have been heavily linked with a move for the 21-year-old in recent months and are still believed to be the frontrunners to sign Fernandes this summer. However, they now appear to have significant competition.

Fernandes caught the eye across Europe with his performances for West Ham last season as the promising midfielder impressed in a poor side that were ultimately relegated from the Premier League. The Portugal international also impressed during the season prior for Southampton, who were also relegated.

It looks as though the Hammers will find it incredibly difficult to keep hold of the midfielder in the Championship, especially when two of the biggest clubs in the world are pursuing a deal.

According to TEAMtalk, Real Madrid have ‘made contact’ and launched an enquiry regarding a potential deal for Fernandes in the last 48 hours.

New Los Blancos manager Jose Mourinho is believed to have a number of top quality midfield targets on his radar and it now appears as though his fellow countryman Fernandes is on that list.

United are still thought to be the frontrunners to land the 21-year-old’s signature this summer but the presence of Real Madrid in the transfer pursuit may have an impact.

Despite relegation to the Championship, West Ham aren’t under pressure to sell and are reportedly demanding a fee in the region of £80million to allow Fernandes to depart after just one season at the London Stadium.

Man United need to seal Fernandes deal

Michael Carrick

With Champions League football returning to Old Trafford in the upcoming season, United need to bolster their squad, particularly in midfield.

Casemiro has left the Red Devils while Manuel Ugarte has also been linked with an exit. Michael Carrick’s side may also miss out on the signing of Elliot Anderson who has been subject to two rejected bids from Manchester City.

Despite his best season in a United shirt last term, it isn’t realistic to expect Bruno Fernandes to produce another campaign where he produces a record number of 21 assists in the Premier League.

Fernandes can be seen as a long-term figure for the United midfield and would offer much-needed quality and strength in depth going into a busier campaign.

Fernandes has registered 19 goal contributions over the past two seasons for teams that were relegated from the Premier League, making it exciting to consider what the young Portuguese star could produce in a team thriving at the other end of the division and in the Champions League.

Tottenham Submit £22m Offer for Lyon Winger Malick Fofana

Published

By


Tottenham have reportedly made an offer to sign a new forward for Roberto De Zerbi ahead of the summer transfer window.

Spurs certainly aren’t messing around in the window, which is no surprise after their disappointing few years.

The North London club have already confirmed the additions of Andy Robertson and Marcos Senesi, who have signed on three-year deals from Liverpool and Bournemouth, respectively.

The club are clearly looking to back De Zerbi after he showed that he’s capable of turning things around during the final few weeks of the season.

Tottenham need reinforcements all over the pitch heading into the 2026-2027 season, especially if they want to climb into the top half of the Premier League table.

According to a report from Ferveur Lyonnaise, Tottenham have submitted an offer to sign Lyon winger Malick Fofana ahead of the summer transfer window.

Spurs are believed to have made an offer in the region of £22 million, including bonuses. He is already looking to get rid of his house to prepare for a departure.

Fofana has accepted an offer from Tottenham, with his agent expected to travel to England this week to finalise a deal.

Lyon are hoping to receive a fee higher than £22 million, but it looks like a deal could happen in the near future.

Fofana, described as explosive, is clearly keen on the move, but Tottenham might have to increase their proposal.

Tottenham certainly aren’t messing around in the summer transfer window and, as mentioned, have already brought Robertson and Senesi to the club.

Reports have now emerged that Tottenham are pushing to sign Newcastle midfielder Sandro Tonali, and the Italian international wants to make the move to North London this summer.

GIVEMESPORT correspondent Ben Jacobs has also claimed that Tottenham have made an enquiry to beat Manchester United to the signing of West Ham midfielder Mateus Fernandes.

Spurs are also believed to be working on deals to sign Savinho from Man City and Jan Paul van Hecke from Brighton. It’s safe to say they are active in the summer transfer window.

Morgan Rogers Wants Arsenal Transfer Over Chelsea

Published

Arsenal are hoping to get some important deals over the line this summer, which includes a move for a Premier League playmaker this summer.

The Gunners are building from a position of strength in the summer transfer window, having secured the league title last season while narrowly missing out on the Champions League in the final.

While the team has impressed, Mikel Arteta knows there are places to improve and keep evolving, particularly in the forward options at his disposal.

Over recent seasons, Arsenal have been criticised for their lack of attacking threat, with question marks remaining over the players at the top end of the pitch.

That is set to lead the North London club into the market in search of fresh faces, with the left wing among the key areas of improvement this window.

Morgan Rogers is among those most heavily linked to play there, while he can also fill in as a number ten, and there has been an update on the club’s pursuit.

Arsenal Handed Morgan Rogers Boost

Arsenal seemingly want a move for Rogers this summer, after the Aston Villa star showed plenty of quality in both the Premier League and Europa League campaign for Unai Emery’s side.

While he has been valued at £100 million, sporting director Andrea Berta is pushing to get a deal over the line, as interest ramps up from rival clubs.

According to Arsenal insider HandofArsenal on social media, Rogers has outlined his preference to sign with Arsenal over the likes of Chelsea this summer.

It’s added that the 23-year-old has communicated his wish to leave Villa Park in a respectful way, as clubs circle a potential deal, while personal terms are not thought to be a problem.

Official contact is yet to be made from Arsenal to Aston Villa, with the final transfer fee claimed to be an important factor whether a move will be confirmed or not in the coming weeks and months.

It comes as a huge boost to the club’s chances of landing the playmaker, who could be a game-changing option in the near future.

Rogers Offers Arsenal Something Different

Arsenal making a move for Rogers makes sense when considering the fact that the Gunners need players who are going to break a game open.

There may be some questions surrounding how well the England international may do against so many mid-blocks if he moves to North London, but he brings an ability to score from nothing that is currently missing for the side.

Under Arteta, the team have a habit of winning games by small margins, which has made it tough to rotate properly when searching for late goals or holding onto late leads.

Talks Opened: Arsenal Hoping to Seal £50m+ Deal to Sign ‘Ridiculous Talent’

Arsenal are looking set for a busy summer window.

Rogers’ outstanding attribute is his ability to score long-range efforts, and if he can bring that to the table, then Arsenal may be able to break games open easier, and win them more comfortably.

His ability in transition is impressive, and something that could also make the team more clinical when games open up more for them.

It’s a deal that could prove expensive, but adds another dimension to Arteta’s team.

Alex Pereira Reveals What he Told UFC After “Illegal” Loss to Ciryl Gane

Published

By


Alex Pereira has finally broken his silence two days after losing by knockout to Ciryl Gane in his heavyweight MMA debut during the marquee UFC Freedom 250 event that the market-leading combat sports promotion organized in conjunction with the federal government, as it held the show on the South Lawn of The White House, in front of the Trump family, including US President, Donald Trump.

The Brazilian carried an extraordinary resume into the Octagon considering he’s a highly decorated pound-for-pound great, but he was never competitive against Gane, landing just 11 strikes in the opening round, and one in the second. Gane, by contrast, landed 54 from 86 thrown, and finished Pereira early, thanks to punches to the head at range.

While Gane faced the press, alongside the UFC boss Dana White and other White House winners, and hinted at a unification fight versus Tom Aspinall in Paris, later in the year, Pereira has yet to speak publicly — until now.

Pereira dissected the fight, and defeat, in a vlog-style video on his official YouTube. “It was a lucky jab, and he took advantage… that was the opportunity of a lifetime for him,” said Pereira, before blasting Bon Gamin for his long history” of “dirty shots, punches to the back of the head.”

He continued: “I brought that up with [the referee, Herb Dean, ahead of time and asked him to keep an eye on it. If you watch the footage, man, multiple shots, multiple elbows [to the back of the head].”

“[Dean] shouldn’t have been refereeing that fight. A guy like that should be punished.”

Pereira said as much to the UFC immediately after the shocking loss.

Though Gane and Aspinall appear to be talking up a massive fight between them, for Pereira, there is a feeling his own fight with Gane has an element of unfinished business to it.

Revealing what he told the UFC, Pereria said: “I explained to them about the illegal shots … I said the right thing is an immediate rematch. They asked for some time to get an answer. I’m gonna wait a bit but very soon we will have an answer.”

Jones posted immediately on social media, wearing jewelry with a goat around his neck as if to reference he’s the greatest of all time in MMA.

This only confused Pereira further. “I saw the video, to be honest I was very surprised,” he said.

“If I was one of the guys that provoked him, then lose, then I’d understand, but I’ve never spoken bad about Jon Jones.”
