Carlo Ancelotti reveals Florentino Perez has ‘big plans’ for summer transfer window

Online Betting Malaysia - Real Madrid manager Carlo Ancelotti has confessed he is expecting big things from club president Florentino Perez in the summer. Los Blancos have barely signed any players over the past few years as they prepare themselves for the summer, when both PSG's Kylian Mbappe and Borussia Dortmund's Erling Haaland are expected to hit the market. Big changes are on the horizon for Real. Ancelotti was asked about them during a recent interview with Corriere dello Sport, and although he did his best to temper expectations, he revealed that Perez is ready to make some real noise. "At Real, everything is the same and unchanging, the only thing that changes is the coaches," he said. "The same physiotherapists, the same warehouse workers, the same journalists, the ...

Barcelona reject chance to re-sign Dani Alves

Sports News

Online Betting Sites - Barcelona have turned down the chance to reunite with veteran right-back Dani Alves, despite the Brazilian offering his services to the struggling club. The 38-year-old is eyeing a return to football in 2022 after leaving Sao Paulo in September, and he recently went public with his willingness to return to Barcelona if those in charge at Camp Nou felt there was a role for him. That prompted plenty of reports suggesting Barcelona were set to speak with Alves about a possible January move, but according to Marca, a reunion with the heavily decorated defender has already been ruled out. Despite current injury problems, Barcelona aren't looking to strengthen at right-back, where Sergino Dest and Sergi Roberto share the minutes, and they also do not want to ...

Steven Gerrard Aston Villa’s first choice to replace Dean Smith

Sports News

Online Betting Sites - Rangers manager Steven Gerrard has emerged as Aston Villa's preferred candidate to succeed Dean Smith. Smith was relieved of his duties following Villa's loss at Southampton on Friday night - their fifth defeat in succession in the Premier League.

Smith and Villa began the campaign well, securing wins over Everton and Manchester United, but their form dropped off dramatically and the reverse at St. Mary's was the final straw. The club's CEO Christian Purslow is leading the search along with s...

Sports News

Online Betting Sites - Barcelona have reached an agreement with Xavi to become their new head coach, reports in Spain say, with the club already announcing the appointment of Sergi Barjuan as interim boss.
