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 […]

Liverpool beat Chelsea to £60m Rennes defender Jacquet

Liverpool have beaten Chelsea to the signing of Rennes centre back Jeremy Jacquet in a deal worth up to £60 million, according to British media reports. The 20 year old French Under 21 international will remain at Rennes until the end of the season despite Liverpool’s urgent need for defensive reinforcements. Jacquet had been strongly linked with a move to Chelsea earlier in January but was reportedly discouraged by the fierce competition for places in the London club’s already crowded pool of central defenders. Liverpool, by contrast, are short of options at the back. Captain Virgil van Dijk, 34, and Ibrahima Konate, who is out of contract in the summer, are currently the only fit senior centre backs available to manager Arne Slot, with Joe Gomez and Giovanni Leoni sidelined by injury. Since breaking into Rennes’ first team last season, […]

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.

Super Eagles striker Terem Moffi has joined Portuguese giants FC Porto on loan from French club Nice, with an option to make the deal permanent for €8 million at the end of the season.​ The 26 year old completed the move on Friday after both clubs reached agreement earlier in the week, bringing an end to a turbulent spell in France. Moffi has been on medical leave since November 30 following ugly scenes in which Nice players were confronted by angry supporters after a defeat away to his former club Lorient.​ In the aftermath of the incident, he was frozen out of the first team picture and eventually had to approach a French judicial commission to compel Nice to sanction his departure.​ Porto reportedly beat competition from several clubs, including Turkish side Besiktas, which tabled a more lucrative salary package, […]

Manchester City have confirmed the signing of Ghanaian forward Antoine Semenyo from Premier League side Bournemouth on a five-and-a-half-year contract. The 26 year old will stay at the Etihad Stadium until June 2031 and is expected to wear the number 42 shirt.​ City will pay an initial £62.5 million, plus up to £1.5 million in performance related bonuses, taking the total value of the transfer to about £64 million.

Atalanta set €50m price tag for Lookman

Atalanta have set a €50m, about N84 billion, asking price for Nigeria international Ademola Lookman amid strong interest from Turkish giants Galatasaray. The Istanbul club, who already have fellow Nigerian star Victor Osimhen in their squad, want to sign the 2024 African Footballer of the Year in the January transfer window.​ According to Italian outlet Gazzetta dello Sport, Atalanta have made it clear they will only let Lookman leave if their €50m valuation is met and are not willing to lower the fee. Reports suggest the winger is open to joining his compatriot and Super Eagles teammate Osimhen in Turkey.​ The 28-year-old has found this season challenging after pushing for a move to Inter Milan in the summer. He was one of Europe’s standout wingers last term, scoring 20 goals in 41 appearances, but has managed just two goals in […]

Chelsea’s Estevao: ‘Don’t Call Me Little Messi, Neymar Is My Idol’

Chelsea's new Brazilian teenager, Estevao Willian, has revealed that his football idol is Neymar and that he never liked his childhood nickname, "Messinho" (Little Messi). The 17-year-old, who recently scored his first goal for Chelsea, explained that he and his family saw the comparison to Lionel Messi as an unwanted burden. "Sometimes a nickname like that becomes a pressure that's not yours," he said in an interview. In contrast, his admiration for Neymar runs deep. He recalled that as a child, he only knew about the Nike brand because of Neymar and was "over the moon" to later sign with the same company. Showing foresight, Estevao began learning English 18 months before his move to Chelsea, knowing it was a skill he would need for his future career. He aims to settle quickly and prove himself in the Premier League.
