Real Madrid handed a huge blow as Paris Saint-Germain plot a move for Ramos
Real Madrid are yet to renew the contracts of Sergio Ramos, Luka Modric, and Lucas Vazquez. The trio are legally permitted by the Spanish FA rules and regulations to begin negotiations with clubs outside of Spain from January onwards. With the new year shortly commencing in a few days, Real Madrid must get down to business to renew the contract of Sergio Ramos. A report from Todo Fichajes states that Paris Saint-Germain has shown a great deal of signing Sergio Ramos next summer as a free agent. Mauricio Pochettino has been tipped to take over PSG shortly, and the former Premier League manager himself has put forward the name of Ramos to the board. The Argentine manager believes that Ramos would be the ideal replacement for Thiago Silva who left earlier this summer on a free transfer to Che...
World-class striker snubs Real Madrid to wait for Messi at Paris Saint-Germain
It seemed like Kylian Mbappe would be announced as a Real Madrid signing in the summer of 2021 after the French forward had reportedly asked the Paris Saint-Germain board to let him leave at the end of the season. However, since then, a lot has changed for Mbappe, PSG, and Real Madrid. Diaro GOL reports that Mbappe has considered not to make a move next summer to the Santiago Bernabeu as the 22-year-old forward wants to see out his contract at the Parc des Princes. Another reason is that the former AS Monaco star wants to experience a season with Lionel Messi who has been tipped to sign for Paris Saint-Germain next summer. With Thomas Tuchel being sacked a few days ago, former Tottenham Hotspur manager Mauricio Pochettino has been tipped to take over the role. Pochettino reportedly wants L...

Inter Milan confirm Christian Eriksen on transfer list
Christian Eriksen could have played his last match for Inter Milan, with club CEO Giuseppe Marotta confirming Wednesday the Danish midfielder was on the transfer list.

Ligue 1 Clubs in Financial Crisis After Collapse of TV Deal
A number of Ligue 1 clubs have been left on the brink of financial ruin, following the collapse of a lucrative TV contract. In 2018, the LFP – French football’s governing body – sold the broadcasting rights to Mediapro and BeIN Sports, in a deal worth upwards of €1.15bn per year – the second biggest TV deal in Europe. This saw a drastic 60% increase in TV revenue for Ligue 1 sides. Mediapro’s Ligue 1 gamble has not paid off It was hoped that this would revitalise the French leagues, given that they have had no success on the European stage since Marseille’s Champions League triumph in 1993. However, the TV deal has fallen apart, leaving French football at risk of a financial collapse. Spanish broadcaster Mediapro, who were supposed to be paying €814m per year for the broadcasting...

Paris Saint-Germain are lining up a loan move for Tottenham Hotspur midfielder Dele Alli, according to Simon Stone of the BBC. After joining Tottenham in 2015 from Milton Keynes Dons, Alli became one of football’s brightest young talents, scoring 28 league goals in two seasons from midfield.
