Manchester United and Liverpool are locked in a heavy-hitting transfer battle to land Juventus center-back Gleison Bremer. The 29-year-old Brazilian international is ready to review outside options following the World Cup if the Italian giants fail to secure their ticket to the Champions League.
The Bianconeri are eager to tie down their defensive cornerstone beyond his current 2029 contract. However, failure to secure elite European football could force the Turin club's hand due to financial strain, making him available to Premier League suitors.
Bremer is eager to compete at the absolute highest level. The powerhouse has logged another impressive campaign under the radar in Italy, recording 4 goals and 3 assists in 26 Serie A appearances this season.
Morgan Rogers on Aston Villa fans: âThey always stick behind usâ
Morgan Rogers has said he is determined to repay the support of Aston Villa fans by helping the club win silverware in Europe.
The 23-year-old is preparing for the UEFA Europa League final against SC Freiburg in Turkiye on Wednesday night.
Rogers has enjoyed a strong season, scoring 13 goals and providing 11 assists, and hopes to end the campaign on a high by lifting the trophy.
âWe play for them,â he said of the Villa supporters. âThe crowds at home and away are just as good. It doesnât go unnoticed, it doesnât go unappreciated.â
âWe need to try and give them something that they can remember for all the hard yards and the hard work that they've put into travel, travelling all around the country and in Europe. Wherever we're playing, they go in numbers and always stick behind us. That's what weâre pushing to do.â
âHe stood his ground; anyone else wouldnât have come out at the Bernabeuâ: Former coach Camacho defends Mbappe
Former Real Madrid player and coach Jose Antonio Camacho has jumped into Kylian Mbappeâs defence, after the French forward found himself in the eye of the storm, marked by his controversial trip to Italy and disagreement with head coach Alvaro Arbeloa.
The reaction from Santiago Bernabeu fans was hostile during the game against Real Oviedo, but Camacho lauded Mbappeâs confidence.
âHe stood his ground; anyone else wouldnât have come out at the Bernabeu," said Camacho.
âHe did it, whereas someone else might have kept a low profile to avoid being booed.
âWhen youâre talking about players of such elite calibre, things get out of hand. If he went out there, itâs because he was given permission to do so.
âIn these cases of injury, players have strict schedules to stick to, and Iâm sure Mbappe did his bit to look after himself.â
Eden Hazard: âI wasnât at Real Madrid to replace Cristiano Ronaldoâ
Eden Hazard has insisted that the narrative surrounding his arrival at Real Madrid was created by the media rather than the club itself.
Rejecting the idea that he had been signed to replace Cristiano Ronaldo and replicate his extraordinary goal-scoring numbers, Hazard said:
"Succeeding Cristiano at Real Madrid wasn't a burden because, in my opinion, I wasn't there to replace him. It was the media who said I was going to replace Ronaldo. I think I have a completely different style of play than him."
"I couldn't score 60 or 70 goals a year. In fact, throughout my entire career, I barely scored that many. So, really, my style of play was completely different. I didn't want number 7."
Manchester United goalkeeper Andre Onana planning pre-season return from loan
Out-of-favor goalkeeper Andre Onana plans to report for Manchester United pre-season training in mid-July despite knowing the club wants to move him on. The Cameroon international lost his starting job at Old Trafford before revitalizing his career during a loan spell with Trabzonspor.
United are scheduled to kick off their pre-season campaign against Wrexham on July 18. However, it remains unclear if manager Michael Carrick will include Onana or relegate him to a separate training "bomb squad" away from the first team.
Onana has been excellent in Turkey, recording 29 appearances for Trabzonspor to secure a third-place finish. Meanwhile, Belgium international Senne Lammens has established himself as United's clear first-choice option, cementing Onana's status as an afterthought.
