Arsenal's Error Reveals Sanchez Is Leaving!

   Arsenal made a huge mistake earlier this day, when they revealed their new kits for fans to pre-order. According to The Telegraph, Danny Welbeck was given #7 before the error was fixed and then switched back his #23.

   This slip fueld speculations about Alexis Sanchez' future with the Gunners next season, amid interest from Bayern Munich, Manchester City, and Chelsea.

   The Chilean's plans are still unkown, and he is yet to sign a new contract with Arsenal. Meanwhile, Sanchez was absent from the official unveiling of the puma strip, but it could be due to his sponsorship deal with Nike.

  Arsene Wenger announced last month that neither Alexis Sanchez, nor, Mesut Ozil are leaving this season. But with top clubs roaming around the 28-year-old, he could leave instantly, as Arsenal are out of Champions League, in addition to feeling unappreciated by the club, who refuse to offer a better deal.

   Reports claim that Alexis has made it clear he wants Manchester City switch, after he told Bayern he wants £420,000 a week, knowing that the club has a strict wage structure. And with 1 year left in his contract, City can snatch the forward for £50 million, plus they are able to meet his demands.

  Real Madrid also have shown interest in the player, as they have doubts about their stars futures, like Ronaldo and Bale. But Alexis would prefer a move to The Sky Blues, where he can rejoin Pep Guardiola who helped him during his spell at Barcelona.

Barcelona Ask Veratti To Force His Way Out!

   New Barcelona coach, Ernesto Valverde, who was appointed last month hopes to leave his mark by signing new players to bolster the squad. Reports say that Marco Verratti is from the club's priorities.

   According to The Sun, Verratti wants to move away from PSG, but the club isn't willing to sell the player, whose contract ends in 2021. Barcelona could also face financial complications, for Juventus and Chelsea are also interested in the star, and are ready to pay £55 million. Reports in Spain indicate that entering a bidding war isn't a choice for Barca who "are aware of the economic limitations" they face in the transfer market. The club may be one of the richest clubs in the world, but at the same time its the highest-wage-paying club.

   Verratti, who once declared he's happy at Parc de Princes, is now desperate to take his career to next level and win more trophies. And Barcelona happens to be the right place for such dreams. Meanwhile, the Catalans are having hard time replacing Xavi, and soon enough aging Iniesta,33. This means the Italian will be the perfect fit in the Blaugrana's suffering midfield, and could be the solution for their problems.

   The 24-year-old's desire is Camp Nou, deducing from Blaise Matuidi's question to Iniesta if Verratti is his successor, during the famous UCL game which ended 4-0 in favour of the Parisians. Iniesta gave Matuidi a positive answer! Therefore, if Verratti really wants Barca switch, he should force his way out, by informing the board of directors of his wishes, so that the Catalans can start negotiating, lowering the price. Chelsea's interest in Monaco's Bakayoko, could open the doors for Nemanja Matic to leave for Juventus who are interested in signing the Serbian, thus the battle for Verratti won't be fierce, and Barca would land him easily.

   Barcelona used this strategy before with Cesc Fabregas, who ended his transfer saga by joining his former local club. Arsenal refused to sell back then, but Fabregas revealed his desire to leave the club, so the deal took place eventually. Reports also claim that the Spanish giants will repeat the same scenario with Hector Bellerin.

   

Dybala on Manchester United's radar

   Jose Mourinho is desperate to strengthen his attacking options for next season. He's on the hunt for a new forward, with Zlatan Ibrahimovic ruled out for the rest of the season because of his horrific knee injury, and Wayne Rooney rumoured to leave Old Trafford.

   Starsport reports that Mourinho cooled his interest in Atletico Madrid's man Antoine Griezmann, who was the 1st on the wishlist. And according to Mundo Deportivo, Dybala is the next target who's viewd as Wayne Rooney's heir, and identified by Mourinho as the perfect fit for Manchester United.

   This deal could be easier than ever, after Real Madrid shifted their interest to Monaco's starlet Kylian Mbappe, and Chelsea close on reuniting with Romelu Lukaku.

    The Argentine signed for Palermo in 2012. Dybala had his breakthrough season in the 2014–15 Serie A where he scored 10 goals in the first half of the season, forming a successful striking partnership with fellow Argentine–Italian Franco Vázquez and being linked with several top European clubs. He finished the season with 13 goals and 10 assists, which made him one of the top assist providers in the league. After this impressive season, Juventus announced the signing of Dybala on a five-year deal for a fee of €32 million (plus €8 million in add-ons).

   Since then, the 23-year-old has proved himself as one of Europe's best players, scoring 35 goals and providing 16 assists for the Old Lady. News about his transfer to top clubs in Europe bursted especially after his  2 valuable goals against Barcelona in the Champions League quarter final, despite signing a new deal last month which keeps him in Turin until 2022, earning €7 million per year.

   The versatile, skillfull player has been linked to Spanish giants Barcelona and Real Madrid, in addition to other EPL teams. But few hours ago, his agent played down speculations about the rising star's move to another club, and declared that he is happy in Torino, and that he has a long term deal with a team that can win things.

   But can we see Dybala play alongside Pogba, again?

 
 

   

Conte texts Diego Costa telling him to search for a new club!

   Diego Costa could be on the move now after being informed that he's out of Conte's plans for next season. According to Mirror the striker told reporters after Spain’s draw with Colombia on Wednesday evening:"I’m going to be honest, the other day, Conte sent me a message saying I am not in his plans for Chelsea, so I’ll have to find a way out"

  Costa has been of great value for the team, by leading them to win the Premier League, scoring 20 goals and providing 7 assists. He performed well the whole season, and is considered one of the reasons behind the team's success this season.

   The Spain International saw this coming, and was planning to join his former club Atletico Madrid after talks about Chelsea reuniting with Lukaku, but the transfer ban forced by FIFA on the Spanish giants prevents them from registering any player until January 2018. His comments were: "I love living in Madrid, but I have to think about my future."It’s complicated because I cannot go four or five months without playing. I have no preference for a league, I just want to play."

     The 28-year-old was linked with a move to the China Super League in the previous transfer window, but Chelsea failed to sign expensive Lukaku back then, so he stayed at Stamford Bridge. Offers from China are still on the table. Also AC Milan would like to sign him to strengthen their squad, the London Evening Standard reports. The native Brazilian is keen to find a club to join where he can get regular football, because this is the World Cup year, and he is supposed to be impressive so he can play for the national team. If he doesn't play, he's out.

Done deal!

Arsenal sign Schalke full-back Sead Kolasinac

   Arsenal have confirmed the signing of Schalke left-back Sead Kolasinac on a free transfer. The 23-year-old charmed europe's top clubs into signing him. Chelsea tried to sign him first but their bid was rejected back in January. Manchester City, Liverpool, Everton, Juventus, and AC Milan were keen on the defender. But when Arsene Wenger joined the race to sign the Bosnia and Herzegovina international in April, he made it hard for other teams to compete. Wenger was monitoring the starlet for quite some time before getting into business with him.

   

   Kolainac is a versatile player. He plays in different positions on the field. He started his career as a center back, and a defensive midfielder. But his talent was employed in other places on the left side of the pitch, and soon became a leftback. 

   Wenger has moved to strengthen at left-back after using Nacho Monreal and Kieran Gibbs there this season. Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain was even deployed to great effect at wing-back in the FA Cup final win over Chelsea. And Kolasinac offers a strong option in the position if Wenger decides to retain the 3-4-3 next season especially when Gibbs departs to newly promoted Newcastle United for €17 million as indicated by The Sun. In other news Daily Express claims the new arrival is now one of the top earners in the North London club.

  Arsenal seem to be going all in this season, after the club has allotted £100 million for transfers, and Arsene's declarations that Sanchez and Ozil are not going anywhere, in addition to the tremendous Mbappe bid, and now Kolasinac's wage!

Liverpool to sign Salah?

There has been rumors in the last 2 weeks linking Mohamed Salah with a move to Anfield. Liverpool were interested in the speedster when he was still in Basel FC, but Chelsea were the ones to sign him first. Life at Stamford Bridge didn't go quite well for the winger, after making just 19 appearances, so he moved to Fiorentina on loan. Fiorentina made an offer to buy him, but he preferred a move to AS Roma, where he shone and became a very important player in the squad, leading them  to finish 2nd in Serie A this season, with 19 goals and 12 assists of his signature in all competitions.

   Sky Sports Italia claim that the 24-year-old verbally agreed to sign with the Reds for a weekly wage of 100 thousand euros costing the club 40 million euros. This claim is thought to be true after Salah's friend, Mohammad Saadon Alkuwari, who works at BeIn Sports tweeted on his account (@ms3don) "Can we say congratulations @22mosalah #EPL". Moreover, Roma are forced to sell some of their players to inject the club with cash and break even in abidance to the UEFA Financial Fair Play Regulations (FFP). If not Roma will have to pay a fine and could be transfer banned by FIFA.

    This is good news for Liverpool fans for the team has failed to make an impact in the absence of the injured Senegalese Sadio Mane. Also it's good news to Salah's Egyptian fans especially for his transfer fee which is about 1 billion Egyptian pounds!

   Some say Salah should stay in Roma for at least one season for he would fail in the Premier League. Others believe that Klopp will get the best out of him and could be the signing of the year. From a neutral perspective, Salah is a very good player and he showed his value in Roma. He has the ability to change the game and finish it within seconds, using his pace, agility, and skills which will highly suit Klopp's style of play and will ease his adaptation in Liverpool. What do you think?

Monaco reject Arsenal's 100 million euros for Kylian Mbappe!

After an incredible season at Monaco, Kylian Mbappe caught the eyes of big clubs. There were many rumors linking the 18-year old with a move to one of the Spanish giants Real Madrid or Barcelona. Then rich English clubs  were linked with the forward such as the 2 Manchester clubs and Chelsea, and PSG showed interest in the Frenchman. But then Arsenal surprised us all by bidding 100 million euros to get the player's signature, and more surprisingly, Monaco rejected the offer!
Mbappe netted 26 goals this season, and provided 8 assists helping Monaco win League 1, and qualifying to UCL semi-final where they lost twice against Juventus. This young starlet is said to be one of the best talents and expected to be one of the best players one day, and the French champions are trying to keep him in the club for at least one more season. Mbappe still has 2 years in his contract, and he said that he doesn't want to play less which may be a relief for his club, but he also said that he's not afraid to leave! And there are still rumors that Real Madrid could blast a 120 million euros deal to snap the ace. There is a factor that could facilitate this mega money deal: Kylian is a huge fan of Real Madrid, Ronaldo, and Zidane. We'll see about that in the coming couple of days.

Alvaro Morata agrees personal terms with AC Milan

Reports say that Alvaro Morata agreed a 5 year-deal with italian giants AC Milan with a wage of 8 million euros per year. The transfer fee is said to be 50 million euros.Chelsea, Manchester united,and Arsenal were interested in the striker.

Zlatan Ibrahimovic

Zlatan to stay in premier league!

Ibra's agent Mino Raiola hints that zlatan wants premier league stay,BUT! could be considering offers from rival teams. This came before Zlatan posted a video of himself playing with the ball on instagram showing that he's recovering quickly with an egocentric caption:"lions recover faster than humans".Let's look at the facts and evaluate. Ibra is 35 years old and by the time he recovers he'd be at least 36, and no club would risk signing a player who's never played in a year, and ofcourse if Zlatan wants to sign with a club it has to be one of the big teams in the EPL. This leaves us with 5 options, Manchester City, Chelsea, Arsenal, Liverpool, or Tottenham. Zlatan has made it clear that he won't play under Pep Guardiola again, while tottenham and liverpool seem to have no problems with their attack, which leaves us with Chelsea and Arsenal, with Chelsea willing to sell Diego Costa and Arsenal keen to sign a world class striker, but it's too risky to depend on a player returning from injury. Other EPL teams are not Zlatan's type. They don't match with his prestige. Ibra could feature in MLS which is most likely or could sign a new deal with the Red Devils after his injury spell. This whole thing that Raiola dropped could be bluffing to urge united and other teams to offer the Swede a deal which serves Raiola's interests and serves the propaganda about the unique Zlatan that he made for himself through his controversial declarations and arguable behaviour.

Arsenal

Official: Arsene Wenger just penned a new 2-year deal with Arsenal FC.
Although Arsenal didn't qualify to champions league for the first time in 2 decades,Wenger managed to beat league winners Chelsea FC for FA cup title and made history (13 FA cup titles for Arsenal,7 of which won in his reign) which gave him some credit despite the fans proetsting against him. Arsenal's season took a U-turn after humiliating UCL loss to bundesliga giants Bayern Munchen.They were fighting for the top spot in the premier league,then everything went wrong. The players' form dropped especially the german playmaker Mesut Ozil who was the goatscape for the deteriorating results at first, then fans got mad about the spaniard Hector Bellerin , and then it was Arsene. I don't think that the frenchman is the one to blame. His squad failed him sometimes, but then  you think! A club as big as Arsenal should have a better one. There it is! It is the strategy of the team that favors profit over titles. They don't want to spend big on world class players, even they didn't want to offer Alexis Sanchez a new deal eventhough he was the only fighter on the pitch and deserved to be appreciated for his hardwork. And for real, if it weren't for Sanchez , this season would've been an absolute disaster. Sanchez and Ozil are set to leave the club, but reports say that  a 30million euro deal was put on the table for the duo, but still, Sanchez is linked to Bayern Munchen with a 50mil euros fee, which explains Arsenal's interest in Riyad Mahrez Leicester City's ace. Arsenal are set to spend 100 million euros in the upcoming transfer window.
