[ad_1] Wolves are hoping to keep hold of Ruben Neves this transfer window despite widespread interest in the midfielder, sources have told 90min. Neves has consistently been one of the Premier League’s top performing midfielders following Wolves’ promotion in 2018. While he has regularly been linked with a move away from Molineux, the 25-year-old has remained loyal to the club. But with his contract up in the summer of 2024 and Wolves now involved in a relegation scrap, bigger teams are circling again. 90min understands that Neves is on the shortlists of Liverpool, Newcastle and Tottenham, while also has long-term admirers in Arsenal, Manchester UnitedRead More →

[ad_1] Jurgen Klopp has confirmed that Diogo Jota has returned to Liverpool training after a lengthy injury lay-off. The Portuguese forward has been out of action since mid-February due to a calf injury – missing 21 Liverpool games in that period. Speaking in his press conference on Monday ahead of the Reds’ FA Cup third round reply with Wolves at Molineux, Klopp revealed that Jota could be back for the UEFA Champions League clash with Real Madrid, stating: “I don’t know exactly how long Diogo will be out for, but he looks really good. He is out there on the pitch and doing a lotRead More →

[ad_1] Borussia Dortmund have revealed that they have made a fresh contract offer to in-demand striker Youssoufa Moukoko, but have accepted he could walk away from the club. Moukoko is out of contract at the end of the season and is wanted by the likes of Barcelona, Chelsea and Newcastle United. 90min reported last week that Dortmund had made an improved contract offer to the 18-year-old in the hope of convincing him to extend his stay at Signal-Iduna Park. This has now been confirmed by sporting director Sebastian Kehl, who told German outlet kicker: “We have put together a very attractive offer that gives himRead More →

[ad_1] David Moyes has opened up on how Sir Alex Ferguson essentially forced the Manchester United job upon him back in 2013. Ferguson decided to call time on an illustrious managerial career after nearly 27 years in charge at Old Trafford, but kept his choice a secret until the latter stages of the 2012/13 season. One day after Ferguson announced his retirement in May 2013, then-Everton boss Moyes was announced as his successor on a six-year contract. However, he would last less than a season with the Red Devils before being sacked due to poor results. Speaking on the Diary of a CEO podcast, MoyesRead More →

[ad_1] Arsenal are interested in signing West Ham United captain Declan Rice, 90min can confirm. The 24-year-old has repeatedly been linked with a move away from London Stadium, with Chelsea, Manchester City, Manchester United and Liverpool all known to be admirers of the England international. Until now there’s been no suggestion of Arsenal being keen to sign Rice, but 90min understands that the success of the Gunners’ Premier League campaign has allowed Mikel Arteta and the club’s hierarchy to revisit their list of potential targets. Barring a collapse in the second half of the season, Arsenal look to be shoo-in qualifiers for next season’s ChampionsRead More →

[ad_1] ​Football is a difficult sport to play. Even if we don’t like to admit it ourselves, only a minuscule percentile of the population possesses the traits needed to become an elite athlete, despite all of your mates claiming they would have made it if it weren’t for their dodgy knees. To become a professional footballer, it takes hours and hours of practice, chiselling your craft to perfection, whilst giving up on some of life’s true pleasures as a youngster. But most of all, you have to be truly gifted. Like, blessed by the gods. Some of the stars we watch week-in, week-out on our television screensRead More →

[ad_1] Jurgen Klopp has admitted that he ‘can’t see’ Liverpool making anymore signings during the January transfer window. The Reds have endured a disappointing season thus far and sit in ninth place – a whopping 10 points off the top four – following recent defeats to Brentford and Brighton. Due to Liverpool’s form and recent injury woes, there have been calls for Klopp to strengthen the squad this January. While the club have signed Cody Gakpo thus far, during his press conference on Monday, Klopp admitted that the club were unlikely to sign anyone else: “It must be a language issue that you ask theseRead More →

[ad_1] An entertaining cup tie ended in controversy two Saturdays ago when Wolves thought they’d taken the lead late on at Liverpool only to be denied by some shoddy camera work and incompetent officiating. The two sides played out a 2-2 draw in the FA Cup third round to set up this replay, with Jurgen Klopp’s side in desperate need of a victory to restore some positive feeling around the club after they were thumped 3-0 by Brighton at the weekend. The Reds are a shell of their apex under the German, and Julen Lopetegui’s resurgent Wolves will be smelling blood when the Merseyside clubRead More →

[ad_1] Leeds United have upped their offer for Azzedine Ounahi as they look to win the race for the Moroccan World Cup star, sources have confirmed to 90min. The Whites are pushing hard to agree terms with Angers and want to follow on from their club-record signing of Georginio Rutter by landing the in-demand Ounahi. Sources have confirmed to 90min that the West Yorkshire side have offered €25m for Ounahi, which is not too far off Angers’ asking price which is believed to be around €30m. However, a deal is far from complete. While Leeds’ offer does meet Angers’ demands – a rival Premier LeagueRead More →
