عبر أسطورة نادي آرسنال، بول ميرسون، عن رأيه في إمكانية تجديد ليفربول لثنائي الهجوم في الفريق الأول لكرة القدم، محمد صلاح وساديو ماني، قبل نهاية عقدهما في يونيو 2023.
ويتفاوض ليفربول في الفترة الحالية مع محمد صلاح من أجل تجديد العقد للحفاظ على وجوده في قلعة “أنفيلد” لكن الطرفين لم يتوصلا لاتفاق رسمي لاستمرار المصري الدولي.
هناك أيضًا بطل كأس أمم إفريقيا، ساديو ماني، الذي ينتهي عقده في نفس توقيت عقد محمد صلاح وبالتالي سيكون على ليفربول إذا كان يرغب في استمرار السنغالي أن يفتح المفاوضات في الوقت الحالي.

وتحدث ميرسون عن وجهة نظره في مستقبل محمد صلاح وماني في تصريحات لشبكة “سكاي سبورتس”، وقال: “لا أعتقد أنهم يعملون من أجل تجديد عقدهما، لا أرى ذلك في المستقبل القريب، لقد تعاقدوا مع دييجو جوتا من قبل والآن جاء لويس دياز”.
وتابع: “بالنظر إلى دياز، أعتقد أنهم حصلوا عليه بمقابل مادي ضعيف، إذا كنت صادقًا، إذا علم بورتو أن أيًا من محمد صلاح أو ماني سيغادر، لكانوا قد طلبوا 20 مليون يورو أخرى (55 مليون يورو ثمن صفقة دياز)”.
وأضاف: “أحدهما سيغادر، لا أعتقد أن ليفربول سيدفع 300 أو 400 ألف جنيه إسترليني في الأسبوع لكليهما، لكني أنصح الإدارة بفعل كل شيء من أجل الحفاظ عليهما، لقد استغرق الأمر 30 عامًا حتى يصلوا إلى ما وصلوا إليه”.
وعن أيهما يفضل رحيله بين الثنائي، رد ميرسون: “لا أستطيع أن أترك محمد صلاح، أنا آسف، أعتقد أنه مختلف عن العديد من اللاعبين الموجودين في الوقت الحالي، من خلال بعض الأهداف التي سجلها، لقد تخطى أربعة من لاعبي مانشستر سيتي وهم أفضل فريق في العالم، فهو لم يتخطى لاعبي من نورويتش سيتي مثلًا ولا أقلل من احترامي لهم”.
وأتم تصريحاته: “يجب على ليفربول الاحتفاظ بمحمد صلاح، شخصيًا سأحتفظ بهما، إذا أنفقوا بعض الأموال لاستمرارهما سيظلان في المنافسة لمدة 5 أو 6 سنوات أخرى”.
Wolves’ attempts to replace two of their best players last summer turned into a mess.
Jeff Shi spent over £27m on defensive liability Nelson Semedo and splashed a club-record £35.6m on Fabio Silva to garner only three goals.
On the chalkboard
On paper, these additions looked promising. Semedo had been signed from one of the biggest clubs in world football; Barcelona, while Silva was and still is, the definition of a wonderkid.
However, things haven’t played out well for the Old Gold. Raul Jimenez, Daniel Podence and Pedro Neto have all suffered from significant injuries this term while Adama Traore has one goal since December 2019.
Life has been made all the more difficult by the departing Matt Doherty and Diogo Jota. They accounted for 25% of Wolves’ goals last season and they simply haven’t been replaced.
Jota has become a shining light for Liverpool and already has a Champions League hat-trick to his name. He has also managed to break up the terrifying trio of Sadio Mane, Mo Salah and Roberto Firmino. That isn’t easy work but Jota has made it look relatively straightforward.
The Portuguese youngster scored 16 times last term, a number no one in the Wolves side this season has come close to eclipsing. Neto and Ruben Neves are their top scorers during 2020/21 with only five strikes in comparison.
The replacement
Jeff Shi didn’t do a great job of reinvesting the £41m they sold Jota for last summer but he has a chance to amend things in a few months time.
He could do so by bringing South Korean sensation Kang-in Lee to the club. It’s thought that Valencia could offer the attacker to Wolves in a swap deal involving enigmatic forward Rafa Mir.
[snack-amp-story url= “https://www.footballfancast.com/web-stories/read-the-latest-wolves-news-and-views-lingard-leao-jimenez-mir” title= “Read the latest Wolves news and views!”]
Mir has done well on loan at Huesca in Spain this term and has 12 La Liga goals for his troubles; more than both Antoine Griezmann and Joao Felix.
However, it wouldn’t be a huge loss if he departed because he’s never actually scored a goal in English football.
While surrendering Mir, they could finally land their Jota replacement.
After all, Lee is a particularly dangerous and tricky individual. Possessing an enormous release clause of £71m, the South Korea international is only 20 but has already been compared to one of the most creative footballers to play the game in David Silva.
Lee can play on the flanks but also through the middle as an attacking midfielder. He has creativity in abundance and can beat a defender on a frequent basis.
Like Jota, his dribbling is mesmeric. This term, Lee has registered 1.4 dribbles per game and has been fouled on 1.8 occasions per match.
Those numbers are more impressive than Jota who has performed 1.1 successful dribbles each game and has been fouled on 1.1 occasions.
Dubbed an “outstanding talent” by Valencia academy director Luis Vicente Mateo, Lee still needs to work on finding the net more regularly; he has scored just once this term but has four assists to his name.
If he can work on his finishing, then he’d be an astute capture for those at Molineux. He could even replace the attributes that Jota took with him when he left for Merseyside.

“Estamos juntos rumo ao título”. A mensagem escrita na faixa que os torcedores do Palmeiras estenderam no canteiro da Avenida Marquês de São Vicente resume a manhã deste sábado. Enquanto os jogadores faziam o último treino antes do jogo contra o Internacional, centenas de pessoas cantavam do lado de fora da Academia de Futebol para demonstrar apoio ao elenco.
Comandados pela Mancha Alviverde, principal torcida organizada do clube, e equipados com bandeiras e instrumentos, centenas de palmeirenses cantaram durante toda a atividade comandada por Cuca. Os portões do CT não foram abertos, mas os jogadores apareceram antes de entrar no ônibus que os levou à concentração para agradecer.
Além dos gritos tradicionais de arquibancada, os torcedores cantaram o nome de boa parte dos jogadores do elenco e hostilizaram o Flamengo, que neste momento é vice-líder do Brasileirão com cinco pontos a menos que o Verdão.
A festa palmeirense, que começou por volta das 10h30, só acabou depois que o ônibus dos atletas saiu da Academia. A Polícia Militar acompanhou toda a manifestação, que não teve nenhum tipo de problema. Os torcedores inclusive colaboraram com as autoridades para manter o corredor de ônibus da avenida livre e não fizeram menção de invadirem o CT quando os portões foram abertos para a entrada de veículos de funcionários.
O Palmeiras recebe o Internacional às 17h deste domingo, no Allianz Parque.
أكدت تقارير أن يوفنتوس مستعد لتقديم العرض الأصلي لباولو ديبالا الذي وافق عليه في أكتوبر، ولكن فقط إذا تخلى وكيله عن العمولة.
ظل الوضع مستمرًا لعدة أشهر، حيث اتفق يوفنتوس وديبالا على تمديد العقد في أكتوبر 2021 مقابل 8 ملايين يورو لكل موسم، بالإضافة إلى مبلغ يتراوح من 2-3 مليون يورو في مختلف المكافآت المتعلقة بالأداء.
ثم أوقف النادي الإيطالي محادثاته، ويعود ذلك جزئيًا إلى مشاكل إصابة ديبالا المستمرة، وعدم وجود مستوى ثابت في الملعب، وبدلًا من ذلك اقترح أجرًا أقل.
أثار هذا غضب ديبالا، الذي قد يكون وكيلًا مجانيًا في يوليو، حيث يستمر عقده الحالي حتى 30 يونيو.

ويوضح موقع “كالتشيو ميركاتو” الإيطالي أن يوفنتوس قدم عرضًا جديدًا لديبالا ووكيله خورخي أنطون.
العرض الآن يشمل الراتب الأصلي البالغ 8 ملايين يورو، بالإضافة إلى الراتب الإضافي، ولكن فقط إذا وافق أنطون على التخلي عن جزء كبير من العمولة التي كان سيحصل عليها في تلك الصفقة.
يوفنتوس يضع ديبالا بشكل فعال في مواجهة وكيله، على أمل الاعتماد على رغبة النجم الأرجنتيني في البقاء في تورينو مع البيانكونيري.
عندما حاول يوفنتوس بيعه في السنوات السابقة، رفض ديبالا عروض توتنهام ومانشستر يونايتد، وأصر على البقاء مع السيدة العجوز.
Former England striker Kevin Phillips believes Patrick Bamford’s recent struggles are down to fatigue, with reinforcements needed this summer.
The Lowdown: Bamford experiences dip
Leeds United have had numerous star performers this season, but Bamford has undoubtedly been one of the key men, scoring 14 goals and registering seven assists in the Premier League.
The 27-year-old has suffered a noticeable dip of late, however, not finding the net in his last five appearances – his last goal came at Fulham on March 19th – and lacking his usual all-round influence.
The Latest: Phillips blames fatigue
Speaking to Football Insider, Phillips claimed a long season has caught up with Bamford, saying it is why Marcelo Bielsa needs to sign another striker this summer:
“Bamford has played an awful lot of football this season and I think fatigue is setting in. He looks a bit tired to me. He has worked his socks off this season so there is no way I am going to criticise him because he has had a fantastic season.
“As a striker, you need to just keep believing. He will be watching videos and putting extra work in on the training ground.
“It is hard because he was on a hell of a run but the goals can dry up. He needs to keep putting himself in good positions and if he does that the goals will come.
“He has played a lot of football though so I think tiredness and fatigues is kicking in. They need to sign somebody in the summer who can share the burden.”

The Verdict: No worries over Bamford
It is only natural that Bamford has dropped off a little recently, considering the relentless nature of this season and Bielsa’s physical demands of his players.
The Englishman has started all 34 league games, highlighting how much football he has played and why he may now be running on empty, even with Phillips suggesting he may actually be doing extra work on top of all that at Thorp Arch.
Bringing in an extra striker ahead of next season would ease the burden on Bamford, as Phillips alludes to, allowing him more of a breather and keeping him fresh for a whole campaign.

O Grêmio já conseguiu efeito suspensivo da perda de mando de campo na final da Copa do Brasil, pena imposta em primeira instância pela 3ª Comissão Disciplinar do STJD por causa da presença de Carol Portaluppi, filha de Renato Gaúcho, no gramado após a classificação diante do Grêmio.
Com a medida tomada pelo auditor Otávio Noronha, a punição fica suspensa até julgamento pelo Pleno do Tribunal, em data ainda a ser definida. Noronha, que mora em Brasília, mas é nascido em Minas Gerais, foi o auditor sorteado para ser o relator do caso em segunda instância.
Com o efeito suspensivo, está praticamente assegurado que o Grêmio jogará a final da Copa do Brasil na Arena, no dia 30, contra o Atlético-MG.
A decisão da Comissão Disciplinar não foi bem digerida nem por auditores do Tribunal. A punição, aplicada com placar 4 a 1, foi vista como exagerada e desnecessária, algo que contribuiu negativamente para a imagem da casa.
تمنى أحمد كشري لاعب الأهلي السابق عودة المغربي وليد أزارو مرة أخرى لصفوف المارد الأحمر، مُشيرًا إلى أنه أفضل مهاجم أجنبي جاء مصر خلال السنوات الماضية.
وقال كشري خلال تصريحاته ببرنامج “بوكس تو بوكس” عبر قناة “etc”: “أزارو هو أفضل مهاجم أجنبي جاء إلى مصر خلال السنوات الأخيرة وأتمنى عودته للأهلي من جديد”.
وتابع: “أزارو أفضل من بيرسي تاو وميكيسوني وهو من أفضل المهاجمين الذي لعبوا في مصر ولو كان استمر مع الأهلي كان سينتقل لأكبر الفرق في أوروبا”.
وواصل: “محمد شريف مهاجم مميز، لكنه لا يخلق لنفسه الفرص مثل أزارو، وتأثر بعدم التواجد مع منتخب مصر”.
وأردف: “ميكيسوني قدم أداءً كبيرًا ومفاجأة أمام مصر المقاصة، رغم أنه لا يلعب منذ فترة طويلة مع الأهلي”.

وزاد: “موسيماني أجاد مع الأهلي منذ توليه المسؤولية وحقق نجاحات كبيرة ويلعب بطريقة لعب قوية وهو مدرب قوي يستحق الاستمرار مع الفريق، ولا بد أن يستمر الأهلي في اللعب بالطريقة الهجومية، وأرى أنه لا يجب أن ينتظر الفريق الفوز على الأندية الصغيرة في الدقائق الأخيرة لأن المارد الأحمر فريق كبير”.
وأضاف: “سعيد لعودة محمد محمود لأنه يمتلك إمكانيات كبيرة، وأيضا أشيد بحمدي فتحي فهو لاعب مميز ويعد أفضل لاعب وسط مدافع في مصر”.
واسترسل: “أرى أن أفضل توظيف لأكرم توفيق في خط الوسط عن مركز الظهير الأيمن وسيكون أفضل لاعب وسط في مصر لو لعب في ذلك المركز”.
واختتم: “كريم فؤاد لعب أفضل مباراة منذ قدومه للأهلي أمام المقاصة، ومحمد هاني يفتقد للثقة في النفس وأنصحه بالبعد عن وسائل التواصل الاجتماعي”.

Next season has the potential to be a very special one for Fabio Silva at Wolverhampton Wanderers.
It has taken the Portuguese forward a long time to get going at Molineux but he’s finally beginning to demonstrate why Wolves spent £35.6m on his services.
Silva only has four strikes all term but has led the line astutely in the last few weeks, playing a role in four goals in his last six outings.
That said, Nuno Santo and co would be foolish to ignore the need for more firepower in the summer.
Raul Jimenez has been recovering from a fractured skull since November and it’s unknown whether he’ll return in the same ruthless goalscoring form.
If he doesn’t, the Old Gold will have a severe problem on their hands. Without their Mexican sensation, they have been down on goals.
One player they could look to sign is Rafael Leao. The forward joined AC Milan for £32m during the summer window of 2019 but Wolves have a long-standing interest.
Back in November, it was reported that the Midlands outfit tried to sign him last summer. They also revealed that he’s a player Nuno likes.
If they can lure him to the Premier League it would be a marvellous capture, one that could form a truly devastating partnership with Pedro Neto.
The 21-year-old is currently out with a broken patella but has been the star of this Wolves team in 2020/21. He is their top scorer on five strikes and their chief creator with six assists.
[snack-amp-story url= “https://www.footballfancast.com/web-stories/read-the-latest-wolves-transfer-rumours-and-news-soumare-dias-dembele-marques-nuno-santo” title=”Read the latest Wolves transfer rumours and news!”]
It has been a breakthrough campaign for the youngster and it would be unsurprising if he takes the Premier League by storm next term.
Add Leao to the attack and it could be terrifying for opposition defences. Neto is one of the trickiest attackers in the top-flight of English football but the Milan forward has similar qualities.
Cool in front of goal, the 21-year-old possesses jaw-dropping pace and an ability to beat most players in world football. Like Neto, he can produce magical moments out of nowhere.
Speaking about Leao’s youth career, former striker Rolando Bianchi once commented: “I had seen him at the U20 World Cup with Portugal and he made spectacular plays. He has great speed, he has a touch of the ball.”
The plaudits don’t stop there. In fact, he’s been compared to some of the greatest footballers to ever grace the wonderful sport.
Lille president Gerard Lopez dubbed him the Portuguese Mbappe but the finest of reviews come from his mentor at Sporting Lisbon; Tiago Fernandes.
The coach has been effusive in his praise in the past, saying: “Rafael is a special player for me, he always will be. I met him when he was just 12-13 years old and I’ve trained him in almost all the youth teams of Sporting Lisbon until his debut in the first team. Only Cristiano Ronaldo at Sporting had his talent at that age, I guarantee you.”
Everton, Toffees, Goodison Park, Carlo Ancelotti, Marcel Brands, Premier League, Rafael Leao, AC Milan, Serie A, Romelu Lukaku,
Fernandes continued: “He is a number 9, he has always played there. He reminds me of Ronaldo, the ‘Phenomenon’, for his speed, technique and quality in the decisive part of the action.”
If Wolves supporters weren’t sold on the young Portuguese striker then surely those words will provoke excitement.
Leao is yet to really live up to his immense potential at the San Siro with just seven goals to his name this season but he is a player with undoubted quality.
The idea of the Leao running onto a through ball from Neto is enough to make you giddy with excitement; they’d be a dream combination.

Se Cuca está prestes a sair, Alexandre Mattos segue a direção contrária. Com contrato até dezembro, o diretor de futebol negocia para renovar o vínculo por mais dois anos, durante a gestão de Maurício Galiotte. A expectativa é de que as tratativas se resolvam nesta semana.
continua após a publicidade
– Tenho que definir essa semana (a própria renovação), mas está todo mundo feliz. Quando é assim, só ajustar algumas coisas – resumiu o dirigente.
Contratado no fim de 2014, Mattos foi o responsável pela reformulação no departamento de futebol. Sob seu comando, o clube contratou 38 jogadores (sem contar os que está trazendo para 2017) e conquistou dois títulos: da Copa do Brasil e do Brasileiro.
-O Paulo (Nobre) me falou que queria um Brasileiro, mais até que outros títulos. Hoje ele tem.Quando esteve em Minas e me fez o convite para vir, me disse que era para revolucionar, radicalizar – acrescentou.
A probabilidade de ficar é tão alta, que o diretor já tem o planejamento para 2017 adiantado. Até agora, três jogadores foram contratados: os meias Hyoran e Raphael Veiga, além do atacante Keno. O armador Alejandro Guerra, do Atlético Nacional (COL), também está perto.
Além do técnico, que Mattos diz já ter um plano B, o diretor terá de resolver a permanência de outros seis jogadores: Jailson, Fabiano, Roger Carvalho, Zé Roberto, Gabriel e Alecsandro. Todos eles têm contrato até dezembro.
