“I don t know. I have an idea but not even had contact from anyone in terms of that because, during the season, I am not too much ready to think about that. Of course, we have to do something because David (Silva) is leaving and in some positions,  we are going to do it, but I don t know how many or how much because the market is always difficult and still there are two or three months, and two or three months can change a lot of things.” 

Those are the words of Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola who noted that his side have yet to really start thinking about what’s going to happen during the summer transfer window. 

While the Premier League title race is all but done with Liverpool being 22 points ahead of City right now, they’ve still got three other com…

Paris Saint-Germain s Ligue 1 game away to Monaco has been postponed because of a weather warning.

The teams were due to meet at Stade Louis II on Sunday, but local authorities intervened in the wake of recent torrential rain and flooding in the region.

The league s competition commission will reschedule the match for a later date in due course, the LFP said.

Kalvin Phillips is undergoing a medical at West Ham on Thursday ahead of his loan switch from Manchester City.

The England midfielder has agreed a move to the London Stadium until the end of the season.

West Ham will have an option to buy Phillips once the loan deal is over.

The PA news agency understands the loan deal will be announced either later on Thursday or on Friday morning.

Phillips joined City from Leeds for £45million on a six-year contract in July 2022.

But the 28-year-old has never managed to hold down a regular spot in Pep Guardiola’s side and has not started a single Premier League match this season.

Crystal Palace and Newcastle were also interested in Phillips but he has opted for West Ham, who are currently sixth in the…

Oliver Kahn feels incoming Bayern Munich goalkeeper Alexander Nubel has taken a very courageous step by agreeing a move to Bavaria to challenge Manuel Neuer for the number one spot.

Last week Bayern confirmed Nubel, 23, would be joining the Bundesliga champions on a free in July upon the expiration of his contract with Schalke.

That was the very transfer Neuer made in 2011, though his presence as Bayern s number one and captain means Nubel may struggle for playing time initially.

Former Bayern keeper Kahn, who has returned to the club as a member of their executive board, had advised Nubel to remain at Schalke last April because he had not earned his stripes internationally.

Back then I wasn t involved in decisions regarding transfers, Kahn told a n…

Antoine Griezmann has reached the 200-goal mark for club and country after scoring the winner in Atletico Madrid s 1-0 LaLiga triumph over Espanyol on Saturday.

In an otherwise unremarkable game, Griezmann proved decisive from the penalty spot in the 56th minute after Koke had been felled by a wild Esteban Granero kick.

It was Griezmann s 86th LaLiga goal for Atletico in his 160th outing since joining from Real Sociedad in 2013.

He also scored 40 LaLiga goals for La Real across four seasons in the top flight, plus six in the second tier in 2009-10.

The France international finished third in this year s Ballon d Or after helping his country to World Cup glory and Atletico Madrid to the Europa League title.

In total, 26 of Griezmann s goals have co…

David Silva has played his final game for Manchester City after a decorated decade at the Etihad Stadium. 

He came on as a late substitute as City suffered a surprise 3-1 Champions League quarter-final defeat to Lyon in Lisbon on Saturday, ending a remarkable stay with the club.

Signed from Valencia in June 2010, the Spain playmaker was integral in transforming Roberto Mancini s City from pretenders to contenders and then champions. 

The 2011-12 Premier League title was the first of four Silva won in England s top flight, along with five EFL Cups and two FA Cups – scoring in the 2018 and 2019 finals of those respective competitions. 

But a handsome collection of medals and dizzying stats for assists only tell part of the story, with countless maj…

Tottenham Hotspur are interested in signing Tiago Santos from Lille in the summer transfer window, according to . The report has claimed that Spurs are among the clubs who are looking at the right-back and have been impressed by him.

Santos has been on the books of Lille since the summer of 2023 when he joined from G.D. Estoril Praia. The 21-year-old Portugal Under-21 international is one of the best young right-backs in the French domestic league. The 21-year-old has made 15 starts and three substitute appearances in Ligue 1 so far this season, scoring one goal and providing one assist in the process.

Tottenham are fifth in the Premier League table at the moment with 47 points from 25 matches, just two points behind fourth-placed Aston Villa. Meanwhile, Lille currently…

Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp says his players have earned some easier victories after a hard-fought 2-1 Premier League win over Sheffield United on Saturday.  

After two top-flight games without tasting success, the champions returned to winning ways after Roberto Firmino and Diogo Jota overturned Sander Berge s early penalty for Chris Wilder s side, who remain winless so far this season.  

The result extended the Reds unbeaten run at Anfield in the Premier League to 62 games and Klopp who disputed the decision to award the Blades a spot-kick for Fabinho s challenge on Oliver McBurnie  praised the relentless nature of his side.  

You always have to work hard against Sheffield United. It s hard to take for Chris Wilder, he told BBC Sport.

There is still lots to play for on matchday six as the Champions League group stage draws to its conclusion.

Barcelona and Juventus are already through but Tuesday should see Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo face off once again, the latter looking to end a dry spell in front of goal against the Catalans.

Kylian Mbappe is another star enduring a comparatively rotten run when it comes to goalscoring, but Istanbul Basaksehir could represent ideal opponents for the Paris Saint-Germain forward.

Elsewhere in a finely poised Group H, RB Leipzig host Manchester United in a critical game for both – and one where Marcus Rashford could earn a slice of history.
