Chelsea finalise Marc Cucurella agreement with Brighton

Sports News
Mysport99 - Chelsea have finally agreed a deal with Brighton & Hove Albion for Marc Cucurella, Mysport99 understands. The Blues were close to reaching an agreement with Brighton on Wednesday, but the Seagulls were quick to publicly stress that terms had not been finalised. Now Mysport99 can confirm that Chelsea will pay £55m for the 24-year-old with a further £7m possible in add-ons - meaning the deal could very well surpass the £60m mark. Cucurella, who had already agreed personal terms with Chelsea, was given permission by Brighton to travel to London on Wednesday and he has already completed most of his medical. His switch to Stamford Bridge is likely to be confirmed by midday on Friday, meaning he will be eligible to play for his new team in their season opener at Everton...

Erik ten Hag offers update on Man Utd’s ‘strict’ transfer plans

Sports News
Mysport99 - Manchester United manager Erik ten Hag has revealed the club are working hard to try and secure his preferred transfer targets this summer. The Red Devils have already brought in Lisandro Martinez, Tyrell Malacia and Christian Eriksen at Ten Hag's request but continue to be frustrated in their pursuits of the boss' top two targets, Barcelona midfielder Frenkie de Jong and Ajax winger Antony. Mysport99 understands Chelsea are now rivalling United for De Jong's signature, while Antony is growing frustrated with Ajax's refusal to lower their asking price, which sits at close to the €100m mark. "We know what we want, and it's not about signing players," Ten Hag offered as an update. "It's about signing the right players. "We are really planning it carefully, and we...
Aguero admits Haaland struggled against Virgil van Dijk

Aguero admits Haaland struggled against Virgil van Dijk

Sports News
Mysport99 - Manchester City legend Sergio Aguero has lamented Erling Haaland's Community Shield performance, admitting that Virgil van Dijk got the better of the young forward. Haaland largely struggled in his first competitive game for City following his £51m move from Borussia Dortmund this summer, and even missed an open net in the dying embers of the game when his team were 3-1 down. Speaking on his Twitch channel, Aguero stated that Van Dijk - arguably the best defender in the world - bested Haaland on the day: "He was too used to Germany. "Haaland thought he was alone, then Van Dijk arrived and said 'welcome to the Premier League.'" Speaking after the game to the press, Pep Guardiola gave his analysis of Haaland's performance, stating: "He had chances, two or three ...

Ronaldo to miss Atletico Madrid friendly to ‘focus on fitness’

Sports News
Mysport99 - Cristiano Ronaldo is not expected to feature in Manchester United's pre-season friendly against Atletico Madrid on Saturday while he works on his fitness. Ronaldo missed the club's pre-season tour of Thailand and Australia through 'personal reasons' and is yet to take part in team training, having returning to Carrington earlier this week to reiterate his desire to leave the club. United held a behind-closed-doors friendly against Wrexham on Wednesday, allowing new signings Lisandro Martinez and Christian Eriksen to get a run-out as the Red Devils picked up a 4-1 win, but Ronaldo watched on from the sidelines. With a week to go until the start of the Premier League season and United determined to keep hold of the veteran striker, the focus is now on rebuilding Ron...
Jurgen Klopp confirms Alisson is close to Liverpool return

Jurgen Klopp confirms Alisson is close to Liverpool return

Sports News
Mysport99 - Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp has revealed that goalkeeper Alisson is close to making his return from injury this summer. The stopper suffered an abdominal injury during the 4-0 defeat to Manchester United earlier this month and has not been seen since, with the issue set to keep him out of Wednesday's clash with Red Bull Salzburg as well. However, with the Community Shield against Manchester City coming up on Saturday, Klopp has now confirmed that Alisson stands a real chance of recovering in time for the game. “Obviously Diogo [Jota] is not here, that’s clear, but from the boys who are injured but are here, Ali is the closest - definitely not for Salzburg but then we will see. He is close to getting back I think,” Klopp said. While Alisson, Jota and Alex Oxl...

Chelsea consider alternative defenders as Barcelona threaten Jules Kounde pursuit

Sports News
Mysport99 - Chelsea have stepped up their scouting of a handful of alternative defenders as their pursuit of Sevilla's Jules Kounde continues to stall, Mysport99 understands. The Blues have agreed a £55m fee with Sevilla and have already struck a deal on personal terms with the centre-back, and it looked as though they were set to wrap up the transfer before a late change of heart from fellow suitors Barcelona saw them push ahead with their own move for Kounde. The La Liga giants are in constant dialogue with Kounde over personal terms and sources have confirmed to Mysport99 that the Frenchman is keen to hear their proposal and consider all of his options before making a final decision. As the only side with an agreement over both a transfer fee and a contract, Chelsea have r...

Monaco complete signing of Takumi Minamino from Liverpool

Sports News
Mysport99 - Monaco have confirmed the signing of Japan international Takumi Minamino from Liverpool. Minamino joined the Reds midway through their Premier League title-winning 2019/20 campaign from Red Bull Salzburg having impressed against them during a Champions League clash earlier that season. However, he failed to nail down a regular role for Jurgen Klopp's side and made just 55 appearances for Liverpool in all competitions. He also spent the second half of the 2020/21 season on loan at Southampton. Mysport99 understands that Fulham had been hopeful of signing Minamino, but it was announced on Tuesday that he has instead joined Ligue 1 side Monaco. The 27-year-old becomes their first signing of the summer transfer window. Monaco will return to the Champions League at the...

Mysport99 - Former Manchester City left-back Aleksandar Kolarov has decided to retire from professional football. The 36-year-old's contract with Inter is up at the end of June, bringing an end to a short two-year stay at San Siro. With this deal expiring, Kolarov has announced he is retiring from playing football and will now look to become a sporting director or a scout.

Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall close to signing new long-term Leicester City deal

Sports News
Mysport99 - Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall is close to signing a new, long-term Leicester City contract, Mysport99 understands. The late-blooming midfielder enjoyed a breakout 2021/22 campaign, making 44 appearances in all competitions and emerging as a contender for the club's player of the year award, before eventually losing out to James Maddison. Dewsbury-Hall's current deal is set to expire at the end of the 2023/24 season and Leicester are understandably eager to extend his stay at the King Power Stadium. Mysport99 understands that the Foxes are close to doing exactly that, with the 23-year-old set to sign a fresh long-term contract soon. Talks have been going on since the end of the season. This breakthrough follows Ricardo Pereira extending his contract in February and Wesl...

Chelsea in talks with Inter over structure of Romelu Lukaku return

Sports News
Mysport99 - Chelsea are in talks with Inter over the nature of the deal that will take Romelu Lukaku back to San Siro, Mysport99 understands. The striker only joined Chelsea from Inter last summer but endured a forgettable comeback season at Stamford Bridge following his £97.5m transfer, with his season derailed by a bout of Covid-19, an ankle injury and an ill-advised interview with Italian media that all came in quick succession. Ultimately Lukaku managed only 15 goals in all competitions in 2021/22, including just eight in the Premier League - a stark contrast to the 64 goals in 95 games he rattled in for Inter. Sources have told Mysport99 that Lukaku has signalled he has his heart set upon a return to the Nerazzurri - something he had already publicly revealed in that con...
