Edinson Cavani offered £50K pay rise to stay at Manchester United
Manchester United plan to keep Edinson Cavani at Old Trafford for the 2021-22 season by offering the striker a wage increase of £50,000, according to reports. The Uruguayan has cemented himself as Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s first-choice striker during the second half of the 2020-21 campaign, playing a pivotal goalscoring role both domestically and in Europe – most notably in the Europa League semi-final tie with AS Roma, against whom he scored four goals over two legs. United do not have the option to extend the 12-month deal Cavani signed last summer, and it has been generally assumed the 34-year-old would return to South America this summer. However, Cavani can choose to add another year to his current deal, and according to The Sun, United plan to give the 34-year-old extra incentive to rem...

Leeds United signed two players yesterday including the club-record signing of Rodrigo, who joined from Valencia for a fee in the region of £27m.

Report: Fulham make approach to sign £22.5m-rated striker wanted by Bayer Leverkusen
Fulham have made an enquiry for AS Roma striker Patrik Schick, reputed journalist Fabrizio Romano has revealed. The Cottagers have experienced a relatively quiet summer transfer window and they have made just one new addition to the squad in the form of Antonee Robinson. With nearly six weeks remaining before the transfer deadline, they still have plenty of time to strengthen the side and their main focus could lie on recruiting a new centre-forward. Aleksandar Mitrovic netted 26 goals in the club’s promotion campaign from the Championship last term, but no other player was able to reach double figures in terms of scoring. Hence, manager Steve Parker will definitely want to bolster the strikeforce ahead of the new Premier League season and Romano has revealed that the club have made an enq...

Reported Newcastle United target and Manchester United central defender Chris Smalling is keen on a return to AS Roma in the summer transfer window, according to The Express. Sky Sports have reported that Newcastle want to sign Smalling from Premier League rivals United this summer.

AS Roma spell Smalling spent the 2019-20 campaign on l...
Stefano Pioli: Zlatan Ibrahimovic not ready for Roma
AC Milan coach, Stefano Pioli, has said that Zlatan Ibrahimovic won’t be in the squad for today’s meeting with AS Roma.’ Pioli concedes Milan need victory to keep their European hopes alive. He said, “Every game is different. It also depends on the attitude of our opponents. In this end of the season, it’ll be important to understand the moments of the match. “It’ll be hot tomorrow, so we’ll have to pace ourselves. We’ll have to be aggressive but also careful. “We did well at Lecce and we must also do that against Roma. They know how to defend but could give us space to work in. “Our attackers have always moved around. With Ibra up top, we have different characteristics, but even he likes to come deep for the ball. “Now, we must insist on mobility in attack. We need to make the most of the...

£180,000-a-week forward has made the decision to leave Arsenal this summer: report
Henrikh Mkhitaryan has told Arsenal that he wants to join AS Roma on a permanent deal when the transfer window reopens, Corriere dello Sport claims. The Armenia international fell out-of-favour under ex-boss Unai Emery at the beginning of the season and he was therefore loaned out to Roma for the 2019/2020 campaign. His temporary stint has been hampered by three separate injuries but he has still managed to impress for the Giallorossi with six goals and four assists from 17 appearances. Roma boss Paulo Fonseca recently revealed that he would like to keep the playmaker at the club and it appears that Mkhitaryan shares the same opinion with regards to his future. In a report covered by Corriere dello Sport, Mkhitaryan is said to have sent the following message ...
