AC Milan

Starting with the hosts, while AC Milan might have managed to claim another top-four finish last season, the Rossoneri have their sights set on mounting a genuine title charge this time around. Continuing to shine since opening up the 2023/24 campaign, Stefano Pioli’s side certainly find the mood in their camp at a real high. Last seen putting in a gritty performance as they entered October’s international break with a 1-0 victory away at Genoa, the former Lazio boss has seen his high-flying squad muster 21 points from their first eight Serie A appearances. Excited to make a return to domestic duties on Sunday night…

Barcelona have confirmed former player Javier Saviola will return to the club as the new assistant manager of their under-19 side.

The Argentine spent a six-year spell at Camp Nou albeit with two terms on loan at Monaco and Sevilla between 2001 and 2007, before moving to Real Madrid, where he became a LaLiga winner.

It is with the Blaugrana he is most fondly associated, however, and he follows another former Barca star, Rafael Marquez, through the door to join their coaching roster.

Saviola will be assistant to former team-mate Oscar Gomez at the helm of the Juvenil as they seek a fourth consecutive Division de Honor Group 3 title this term.

During his playing days, the forward the then-youngest player named in Pele s legendary FIFA 100 list started o…

Tottenham Hotspur are interested in signing Ivan Toney from London and Premier League rivals Brentford in the summer transfer window, according to . The report has claimed that Spurs are preparing to make a bid of £40 million and are also gathering a package of personal terms for the England international striker.

Football Transfers has claimed that Brentford were looking for £100 million in transfer fees for Toney in the January transfer window. Arsenal, Chelsea and Manchester United were keen on the striker at the time, but it was too expensive for the three Premier League clubs.

Toney is out of contract at Brentford at the end of next season, so the London club are open to cashing in on the 28-year-old former Newcastle United prospect this summer. Spurs are on the …

Chelsea are interested in signing Jhon Duran from Premier League rivals Aston Villa in the summer transfer window, according to . The report has claimed that Villa will demand as much as £40 million for the 20-year-old forward.

The Guardian has claimed that Villa are open to selling Duran.

There have been discussions between the two Premier League clubs over including Duran in a deal.

Duran has been on the books of Villa since January 2023 when he moved from the Chicago Fire. The Colombia international striker made three starts and 20 substitute appearances in the Premier League for the Villans last season, scoring fi…

A lot of talk in recent weeks has centred around the burgeoning rivalry between Manchester City and Liverpool, with English football s two current leading lights doing battle on multiple fronts.

Liverpool got the better of City in the weekend s FA Cup semi-final, but they remain in a tussle for the Premier League title and could yet meet in a Champions League showdown – there s much to play for.

But while that rivalry has been borne out of competitiveness, the Liverpool matches that most – fans and neutrals alike – will continue to look out for are those with Manchester United.

Despite their historic successes and status as English football s most-successful teams, rarely in the modern era have they been competitive rivals like Liverpool are with City now…

West Ham cruised into a first European semi-final in 46 years as they beat Lyon 3-0 in the Europa League.

Goals from Craig Dawson, Declan Rice and Jarrod Bowen secured a surprisingly comfortable 4-1 aggregate success in France, setting up a last-four meeting with Eintracht Frankfurt.

The Germans were, in fact, the opposition the last time the Hammers reached this stage of continental competition that tie coming en route to defeat in the final of the 1976 edition of the Cup Winners Cup.

But there will be hopes of going one better in Europe over four decades on after such a convincing win against elite opposition.

There he is! |

Norwich City s relegation from the Premier League has been confirmed after the Canaries fell to a 2-0 defeat at Aston Villa and Burnley beat Watford.

The Canaries tame loss to manager Dean Smith s former employers, coupled with Burnley recovering from a goal down to stun fellow strugglers Watford 2-1, condemned Norwich to an immediate return to the Championship, which they won last season.

Norwich have now been relegated from the Premier League on six occasions, more than any other side in the competition s history, with Smith and predecessor Daniel Farke overseeing just five wins in 34 league outings this term.

Meanwhile, the Canaries have been relegated in each of their last four Premier League seasons (2013-14, 2015-16, 2019-20, and 2021-22), becoming just th…

Daniel Sturridge has been released by A-League outfit Perth Glory after spending one goalless season with the side.

Sturridge, who scored 50 Premier League goals for Liverpool between 2013 and 2019, averaging a strike every 135.9 minutes under the management of Brendan Rodgers and Jurgen Klopp, joined the Australian team in October 2021.

But despite Glory chairman Tony Sage describing the acquisition of Sturridge as one of the biggest signings in A-League history when his arrival was confirmed, the striker struggled for form and fitness, failing to score a single goal in eight months with the team.

The club released a statement on their website on Friday to confirm the departure of Sturridge, who has earned 26 senior caps for England, scoring eight goals.

According to , Bayern Munich have contacted the representatives of Zinedine Zidane to sound out a possibility of the former Real Madrid star, and later extremely successful coach, succeeding Thomas Tuchel in the dugout at the Allianz Arena.

The end of Bayern s domination in the Bundesliga courtesy of Xabi Alonso s Bayer Leverkusen has cost Tuchel his job, though he will lead the Bavarians until the end of the season. Bayern s primary target to take over was none other than Alonso himself, but following the Spaniard s decision not to leave the BayArena this summer, they ve been forced to look elsewhere.

Zidane was in charge at Real over two separate spells, and his greatest achievement as a coach is undoubtedly the three consecutive Champions League triumphs from 2016 to…

Kylian Mbappe was pictured by Real Madrid during an individual recovery programme amid growing questions over his France absence.

Madrid released a statement on Monday to update on the forward s recovery from a muscle issue that kept him out of France s October internationals squad.

Questions had persisted from reports in France after Mbappe was spotted in a Swedish nightclub on Thursday, when Didier Deschamps side hammered Israel.

Deschamps insisted the matter was not an issue to discuss, though speculation remains over Mbappe s commitment to France, with reports suggesting he is prioritising Madrid and a potential Ballon d Or.

Los Blancos seemingly sought to quash any growing murmurs of discontent by confirming Mbappe s appearance at the club …
