July 17, 2023 Manchester United Close to Securing Andre Onana from Inter Milan as Goalkeeper

Manchester United Close to Securing Andre Onana from Inter Milan as Goalkeeper

Manchester United is on the verge of securing a significant addition to their squad, as they close in on the signing of Inter Milan goalkeeper, Andre Onana.

The 27-year-old Cameroonian shot-stopper is poised to replace long-time number one David de Gea, who recently bid farewell to the club after an impressive 12-year stint.

After fruitful discussions between Manchester United and Onana's representatives on Sunday, it's understood that an agreement has been reached for a five-year contract, with the option of extending it by another year.

While some details of the deal are yet to be finalized, it appears increasingly likely that Onana will complete the move just in time to join the team's tour of the United States later this week.

Manager Erik ten Hag, who knows Onana well from their time together at Ajax, believes the talented goalkeeper can provide the goalkeeping solution he has been seeking since taking the reins at Manchester United over a year ago.

Onana's impressive career at Ajax, spanning seven and a half years, paved the way for his move to Inter Milan in July 2022.

During his tenure at Inter, he displayed remarkable performances, keeping eight clean sheets in 24 Serie A games as the club finished third. He also excelled in the Champions League, recording eight clean sheets in 13 matches, the highest number for any goalkeeper in the prestigious competition.

In the Champions League final against Manchester City in June, Onana displayed his skills, despite Inter's 1-0 loss.

Upon completing the transfer, Onana will become Manchester United's second summer signing, following the acquisition of midfielder Mason Mount from Chelsea for an initial £55m.

Carlos Alcaraz Defeats Novak Djokovic To Win Wimbledon Men’s Title

In a gripping Wimbledon final, Novak Djokovic faced an unexpected setback as young tennis sensation Carlos Alcaraz displayed outstanding prowess on the court.

Despite Djokovic's relentless efforts to secure his eighth Wimbledon title and equal Roger Federer's record for men's singles wins, he found himself outplayed by the 20-year-old world number one.

The match was an emotional rollercoaster for Djokovic, who felt the weight of past victories and the missed chance to claim his 24th Grand Slam title alongside Margaret Court.

As the final moments unfolded, Djokovic's frustration manifested in the form of a mangled racquet next to his chair, a poignant reminder of the pivotal break of serve in the decisive fifth set.

After the heart-wrenching loss, Djokovic humbly acknowledged Alcaraz's exceptional performance, conceding that the young Spaniard was the better player on the day.

The defeat marked a rare occurrence on Centre Court for Djokovic, who had not lost a match there since 2013 when Andy Murray claimed the title.

Amidst the post-match emotions, Djokovic's love for his son was evident as he addressed his young boy in the stands, expressing gratitude for the unwavering support he received from his family. 

While the loss was undoubtedly disappointing, Djokovic remains resilient, acknowledging the ups and downs that come with the sport. With the US Open just around the corner, he looks forward to seizing another opportunity to chase records and add to his illustrious Grand Slam tally.

As the tennis world celebrates Carlos Alcaraz's remarkable triumph at Wimbledon, Djokovic's legacy remains unshaken, and his competitive spirit promises an enthralling future on the tennis court. 

July 14, 2023 PSG Set to Make €120m Bid for Osimhen

PSG Set to Make €120m Bid for Osimhen

Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) is preparing to make a second bid of €120m for Nigerian forward Victor Osimhen. The French champions had their initial offer of €100m rejected in June, but the new bid surpasses the offers made by other interested clubs.

Napoli president Aurelio de Laurentiis values Osimhen at €150 million, a price tag that no other club seems willing to meet. De Laurentiis has dismissed other suitors, including Chelsea, Manchester United, and Real Madrid, believing PSG to be the only team capable of affording the talented striker.

While negotiations between Osimhen and Napoli for a contract extension are ongoing, PSG remains the biggest challenge for the Italian club. PSG is reportedly on the verge of submitting an offer of around €120m.

Osimhen had an impressive season, scoring 26 goals and providing five assists in 32 league appearances. His performances played a crucial role in Napoli's Serie A triumph and earned him the prestigious Capocannoniere award as the league's top scorer, making him the first African player to receive the accolade.

As Osimhen awaits the developments surrounding his future, he is set to resume pre-season training on July 19.

July 14, 2023 Arsenal Transfer Update: Gunners Assure West Ham of Declan Rice Deal Finalization on Friday

Arsenal Transfer Update: Gunners Assure West Ham of Declan Rice Deal Finalization on Friday

West Ham United have received a promise that the paperwork for the transfer of Declan Rice will be completed and delivered on Friday. The £105m deal, agreed upon eight days ago, has been delayed, causing frustration for West Ham.

The delay is attributed to Arsenal's lawyers, who are responsible for drawing up the necessary paperwork. West Ham understands that Rice has already passed his medical examination with Arsenal and has been training regularly while on holiday in Portugal.

Arsenal is optimistic about finalizing Rice's signing before the team departs for their pre-season tour in the United States on Sunday. The deal involves an initial payment of £100m and £5m in add-ons, surpassing Arsenal's previous record purchase of Nicolas Pepe from Lille for £72m in 2019.

Although Rice's signing falls just short of the British transfer record set by Chelsea for Enzo Fernandez in January, it still represents a significant acquisition for Arsenal. Additionally, the Gunners are expected to confirm the signing of Jurrien Timber, who has completed his medical ahead of his £38m transfer from Ajax. The paperwork for his long-term contract is also being finalized.

Timber, primarily a right-back but also capable of playing at centre-back, will bolster Arsenal's defensive options. The transfer fee consists of an upfront payment of £34m, with additional payments tied to performance-related add-ons.

Manchester United had previously expressed interest in Timber before Arsenal secured the deal.
