Manchester City start ‘initial enquiries’ for Romelu Lukaku deal
Manchester City have reportedly made ‘initial enquiries’ over the potential summer signing of Inter striker Romelu Lukaku. City have often played without a recognised centre forward this season, with their options thinning even further following the departure of Sergio Agüero. According to Corriere dello Sport, Pep Guardiola wants to recruit a striker despite saying otherwise in recent press conferences and is willing to spend big. Their main target is Borussia Dortmund frontman Erling Haaland although his price could be excessive, with Guardiola also sharing a difficult relationship with agent Mino Raiola. Lukaku has enjoyed a prolific season in Serie A – scoring 20 goals and assisting eight in 27 appearances – with Inter currently eight points clear at the top. The Nerrazzuri are, howeve...

Mo Salah dreams of future La Liga action
Mohamed Salah has hinted his future could lie in Spanish football amid continued speculation the forward could leave Liverpool. The Premier League’s joint-top scorer this season is under contract at Anfield until 2023 but has been linked with a move elsewhere, with Barcelona and Real Madrid often touted as potential destinations for Salah if he were to depart Merseyside. Last year, the forward described the Spanish sides as two “great” clubs, but Jurgen Klopp later played down any transfer talk surrounding the Egypt international. Liverpool play Real Madrid in the quarter-finals of the Champions League in April as the two sides meet for the first time since 2018’s final in Kiev which finished 3-1 to the Spanish side and ahead of the games, Salah refused to rule out a future move to La Liga...
Daniel Sturridge on the verge of MLS move
Daniel Sturridge could be set to move to the MLS, according to the Daily Mirror. Sturridge has been without a club since being released from Trabzonspor back in March 2020. The striker had just received a four-month ban and a £150,000 fine after a breach of betting rules. It’s been a difficult few years for the Englishman, who was once one of the Premier League’s deadliest strikers. In his first season-and-a-half at Liverpool, he scored 31 league goals in just 43 appearances, finishing as runner up in the 2013/14 Golden Boot race behind strike partner Luis Suarez. However, he suffered numerous injury problems which severely limited his game time over the next few years. Suarez’s departure and the replacement of manager Brendan Rodgers with Jurgen Klopp also impacted his form, and he found ...
