Here’s a superb piece to get your tooth into on a Thursday morning:
William has emailed and mentioned: “Surely it’s Haaland to Madrid for £Xm and then Mbappé to City on a free with an £ Xm signing on fee?”
Now that may be a flip up for the books. As a lot as that may be entertaining I don’t know if I see Mbappé in the Premier League.
Who are the finest ladies’s footballers in the world? We have a bit counting down the prime 100, as chosen by a variety of individuals from the sport, and in the present day’s version has the record as much as quantity 11.

Do you need all of the prime rumours in one place so you possibly can simply digest them? Well we’ve got simply the piece for you, have a learn of the hearsay mill:
Eric Dier’s transfer to Bayern has been rumoured over the previous week and a transfer away from Tottenham isn’t shocking. He has had much less minutes since Ange Postecoglou took over and the England worldwide will wish to be enjoying, particularly if he desires to battle for a Euros spot this summer season.
Tuchel has confirmed Dier is in Munich, presumably for a medical, so the information may very well be confirmed later in the present day. Any extra updates I’ll let you already know.
Is it a superb transfer for Dier? I believe so however let me know your ideas.
Tuchel: Dier is Munich
Some breaking information for you, Eric Dier’s transfer to Bayern Munich is sort of completed, in accordance with supervisor Thomas Tuchel.
“From experience, we know things can go wrong in the final seconds,” he mentioned. “He is Munich and we try to finalise the deal and find another alternative in the defensive position in our squad. But I’d like to wait before the ink has dried. You’re right he is in the city.
“I think that he is more or less a specialsit in the central defensive role. He’s played as a holding midfielder in the past. He can play as part of a back four and three at the back so we can fre up Goretzka in midfield so he doesn’t have to switch between playing as a No 8 and being deeper.
“We’re still focusing on other positions and we’ll see if anything else happens.”
Jadon Sancho’s mortgage transfer to Borussia Dortmund from Manchester United feels as if it has been in the works for months but it surely’s understood the solely factor left to do is announce the transfer. Sancho has had an underwhelming transfer to United and has fallen out of favour underneath Erik ten Hag.
A transfer again to Dortmund may kick begin a revival to his kind. For all the particulars have a learn of the story:
The headline information in ladies’s football is Wales supervisor Gemma Grainger leaving her position to take cost of Norway’s nationwide staff.
She spent three years in cost of Wales however leaves with fast impact to take up her new place.
“I had no intention to leave Cymru, but I have been offered an unexpected opportunity that I could not turn down and it has been extremely difficult for me to get to this point. I hope you know the decision to leave has not been taken lightly,” she mentioned.
“I truly believe this team is ready to take the next steps and qualify. I’m confident the team can continue to build and grow from this point forward. Cymru will forever have a place in my heart, diolch am bopeth (thank you for everything).” Read the full story:
“Mbappé is just going to keep signing one-year contract extensions at PSG,” Kevin Wilson says. “I don’t think he’ll ever leave, and the “will-he, won’t-he” transfer to Real is simply the greatest tease in transfers.”
It’s all the drama although Kevin, I simply like it. Was {that a} Gavin and Stacey reference this early in the morning? Absolutely. I’ll have re-binged it this week. But I believe Mbappé will finally depart and Real Madrid is one in every of the solely golf equipment I can see him transferring to.
Tottenham have confirmed Timo Werner’s mortgage however Ange Postecoglou’s transfer window isn’t completed there, in accordance with the Independent.
They are on the hunt for a quantity eight and Chelsea’s Conor Gallagher is at the prime of their want record. Chelsea boss Mauricio Pochettino has remained comparatively tight lipped over whether or not the England worldwide will keep or go however has spoken extremely about his participant.
When requested if he has spoken to Gallagher about transfer rumours, the supervisor mentioned: “If you want to ask me if I was talking with Conor about this situation, yes. Like all the players when some rumour happens, always it’s good to have a good conversation with the player, like Ian Maatsen, or different players like this, Andrey Santos.
“I think always it’s important for us, the coaches, to have very clear and very direct, honest conversations with the players. It’s healthy to have these type of relationships.”
“Doesn’t Erling Haaland has a €175m release fee that kicks in this summer?” Dara O’Reilly emails. “Which is still FAR TOO MUCH MONEY, but in this bonkers environment is something you think Real Madrid could look at and think “fair enough.””
Morning Dara, Spanish outlet AS are reporting Haaland has a two-tiered launch trigger that comes into impact this summer season. Others, like Forbes, report the £170m launch clause is for different Premier League golf equipment and so Real Madrid may purchase Haaland for round £86m. I simply can’t see City desirous to let him go.
Some unhappy information to convey you, former England supervisor Sven-Goran Eriksson says he has round a yr to live after being identified with terminal most cancers.
Eriksson informed Swedish Radio P1: “Everyone can see that I have a disease that’s not good, and everyone supposes that it’s cancer, and it is. But I have to fight it as long as possible. I know that in the best case it’s about a year, in the worst case even less. Or in the best case I suppose even longer. I don’t think the doctors I have can be totally sure, they can’t put a day on it.”
Eriksson was in cost of England from 2001-2006 and most lately was a sporting director for Swedish membership Karlstad.
Haaland’s Man City contract ends in 2027 so even when the striker was in a transfer the price ticket from the membership may very well be enormous. But then Mbappé isn’t going to be low cost, until Real Madrid signal him when he’s a free agent in the summer season.
I don’t know if I see Haaland’s transfer to Real Madrid taking place, however who is aware of. Stranger issues have occurred!
