Edinson Cavani in ‘advanced talks’ to join Boca Juniors

Mysport99 - Manchester United striker Edinson Cavani is in 'advanced talks' to join Boca Juniors on a free transfer this summer. Cavani has endured an underwhelming 2021/22 season with niggling injuries and poor form restricting his influence. Overall he has managed to make just 17 appearances in all competitions, scoring twice. This has starkly contrasted his 2020/21 campaign where he netted 17 goals and ended the season as United's starting striker. The arrival of Cristiano Ronaldo in the summer has cut into the Uruguayan's playing time this season when fit, and a report from the Mirror cites this as one of the reasons that Cavani has decided to leave this summer. It is said that United assured Cavani that they would not be bringing in an additional striker at the end of...

Richarlison to be investigated by FA & Everton for throwing flare

Sports News

Mysport99 - Both the FA and Everton have confirmed that they will investigate an incident in which striker Richarlison threw a lit flare into the Goodison Park stands on Sunday.

"As far we we are concerned, Richarlison was attempting to throw it out of the ground." Liverpool midfielder Harvey Elliott was co...

Antonio Conte calls PSG links ‘fake news’

Sports News

Mysport99 - Tottenham manager Antonio Conte has labelled links with a move to Paris Saint-Germain "fake news". While the Italian hinted that his Spurs career could be over after a defeat to Burnley earlier in the season, Mysport99 understands the club remain confident of keeping Conte for the 2022/23 campaign. There have been links with PSG this week, with Mauricio Pochettino expected to leave Paris imminently. Conte's appointment saw an upturn in results that led Tottenham into the top four, but disappointing recent performances against Brighton and Brentford have seen Arsenal usurp them in the Champions League race. Spurs have the chance to put some pressure on Arsenal with victory over Leicester on Sunday, with the Gunners travelling to face West Ham later that day. An...

Man United impressed with Erik ten Hag as manager search continues

Mysport99 - Erik ten Hag and Mauricio Pochettino remain the top candidates to become Manchester United's next manager, despite reports of interest in Carlo Ancelotti earlier this week.

Lines of communication with prospective new managers have been...

Barcelona line up Alexander Isak as Erling Haaland alternative

Sports News

Mysport99 - Barcelona are ready to move for Real Sociedad striker Alexander Isak if they fail in their bid to sign Borussia Dortmund's Erling Haaland this summer. Club president Joan Laporta is close with Haaland's agent, Mino Raiola, and hopes to use that to his advantage, but the reality is that Barcelona's delicate financial situation may leave them unable to afford such an expensive deal. Other suitors, like Real Madrid, Manchester City, Paris Saint-Germain and Chelsea, are in better positions to make such an offer and the feeling is that Barcelona may struggle to compete for Haaland's signature. According to Sport, manager Xavi has recommended Fiorentina hitman Dusan Vlahovic, but there are concerns over paying his price tag - in excess of £60m - given he is untested in ...
