Haaland’s agent dismisses Barcelona transfer rumours

Erling Haaland’s agent, Rafaela Pimenta, has rubbished reports linking the Manchester City striker with a summer move to Barcelona, insisting there has been no contact with the Catalan club. Recent speculation in Spain suggested that Barca presidential hopeful Victor Font and other figures around the club were exploring a deal to lure Haaland to Camp Nou in the coming seasons. Some reports claimed that Barcelona had already started sounding out the player’s camp. But speaking in an interview with Spanish TV show El Chiringuito, Pimenta said there is “a lot of respect and admiration” for Barcelona, yet no one from the club or any presidential candidate has made contact about a transfer. She stressed that Haaland is “very happy” at Manchester City and fully focused on his current project under Pep Guardiola. The agent also pointed out that the Norwegian […]

Barcelona add Osimhen to striker shortlist

Galatasaray striker Victor Osimhen has been listed among Barcelona’s key options as the Spanish giants search for a long term replacement for Robert Lewandowski. Reports in Europe say Barca’s recruitment team has drawn up a shortlist of centre forwards, with Osimhen viewed as one of the realistic targets for the summer window. Barcelona are planning for life after Lewandowski, whose role in the team is gradually being reduced as he nears the end of his contract. The club is said to be studying several profiles, but Osimhen and a few other forwards stand out because of their proven goal scoring records and age profile. According to reports, Osimhen is not currently at the very top of Barca’s list, but he is seen as a serious alternative if primary targets cannot be signed. However, any move for the Nigerian will be […]

Taskmaster Simeone demands more defensive grit from Lookman

Atletico Madrid boss Diego Simeone has challenged Nigerian forward Ademola Lookman to add more defensive grit and all round contribution to his game despite his explosive start at the club. Lookman has hit the ground running in Spain with four goals and two assists in his first few matches across competitions, matching Luis Suarez’s record for the best attacking start under Simeone. Simeone, known for his demanding standards, said Lookman currently gives the team “more goals than overall play” and must now improve his build up involvement and defensive discipline. He stressed that Atletico’s philosophy requires every attacker to press, track back and fully adapt to the team’s intense, compact style without the ball. The Argentine coach added that Lookman is eager to learn and has told him he wants to become a better all round footballer, not just a […]

Europe watch: Onuachu scores again as Sadiq impresses for Valencia

Super Eagles striker Paul Onuachu continued his fine scoring form in Turkey, netting again for Trabzonspor at the weekend. The towering forward headed in his 16th league goal of the season, although his side eventually lost 3–2 to title chasing Fenerbahce. Onuachu had the chance to complete a brace late in the game but missed a penalty, bringing an end to his previously flawless spot kick record this season. Despite the defeat, his consistent scoring run keeps him among the most in form Nigerian forwards in Europe. In Spain, Sadiq Umar impressed for Valencia with another lively display as he continues to rebuild his career in La Liga. The Nigerian striker has recently been involved in key games, including scoring in the Copa del Rey against Athletic Bilbao after earlier putting the ball into his own net in the same […]

Lookman rues narrow offside in bittersweet La Liga debut

Ademola Lookman says his home La Liga debut for Atletico Madrid was bittersweet after a narrow offside call denied him a dream goal in a 1-0 defeat to Real Betis. The Super Eagles forward had arrived at the Metropolitano on a high following a standout performance in the Copa del Rey.​ Lookman thought he had equalised just before halftime when he rose to head the ball into the net, but the effort was ruled out for a marginal offside after a review. The decision proved costly as Atletico could not find a way back into the match.​ Despite receiving a yellow card in the 56th minute for a tactical foul, he remained one of Atletico’s brightest attacking outlets until he was substituted in the 74th minute. His movement and direct play repeatedly troubled the Betis defence, even as the hosts […]

‘I’m very happy to be here’ — Lookman begins new chapter at Atletico Madrid

Super Eagles winger Ademola Lookman has arrived in Spain to complete a high profile move to Atletico Madrid, marking the start of a new chapter in his career after a successful spell with Atalanta. The 28 year old landed in Madrid on Sunday following months of speculation and protracted negotiations between Atletico and the Italian club. Atletico have agreed a €40 million package for the Nigerian, comprising a €35 million fixed fee plus €5 million in performance related add ons, after Atalanta initially resisted several bids since last summer. Lookman is expected to undergo his medical on Monday before signing a long term contract with the La Liga side. His departure brings to a close a memorable stint in Bergamo, highlighted by his historic hat trick in the 2024 Europa League final that secured Atalanta’s first major European trophy. Speaking […]

Mbappe misses Real Madrid training before Man City clash

Kylian Mbappe missed Real Madrid’s training session on Tuesday, putting his participation in the Champions League showdown against Manchester City in serious doubt. The 26 year old forward recently fractured a finger in the La Liga defeat to Celta Vigo and is now experiencing enough discomfort to sit out full training.​ Spanish reports say the club initially expected Mbappe to play through the pain using protective strapping on his hand. However, he is also understood to be dealing with muscle discomfort in his left leg, which has raised additional concern over his fitness for the match at the Santiago Bernabeu.​ Mbappe has been Real Madrid’s main attacking threat this season, scoring more than half of the team’s goals in all competitions. Losing him would be a major blow for coach Xabi Alonso as he prepares to face Pep Guardiola’s side […]

Real Madrid, Barcelona look to rebound from Clasico fallout

Real Madrid and Barcelona will look to move past the fallout from last weekend’s heated Clasico clash as both clubs return to La Liga action this weekend. Madrid may have triumphed 2–1 over their arch-rivals, but the match exposed underlying tensions — particularly between coach Xabi Alonso and Brazilian star Vinicius Jr. Vinicius, who reacted angrily after being substituted in the 72nd minute, apologised to fans, teammates, and club officials on Wednesday. “Today I want to apologise to all Madrid fans for my reaction to being substituted in the Clasico… I have also apologised in person to my teammates, club, and president,” said the 25-year-old, notably omitting Alonso from his statement. The incident comes amid ongoing contract negotiations, though Vinicius’ current deal runs until 2027. Despite his five league goals this season, the Brazilian has been overshadowed by Kylian Mbappe, […]

In-Form Rashford Set for First El Clásico with Barcelona

Marcus Rashford is set to become the first Englishman to play for Barcelona in an El Clásico since Gary Lineker, as his impressive loan spell continues. The Manchester United loanee has seized his opportunity after an injury to Raphinha, becoming a key player for coach Hansi Flick. Rashford has contributed 11 goals (5 goals, 6 assists) in 12 appearances, including a brace in a recent 6-1 Champions League win over Olympiacos. His fine form means he is almost certain to start against league leaders Real Madrid on Sunday, where he could face his England teammate, right-back Trent Alexander-Arnold. Rashford's move to Barcelona came after he fell out of favor at Manchester United. The Spanish champions offered a fresh start, and the winger has embraced it, participating in every match this season. "He's giving me 100 percent of what I want […]
