Mourinho Looks to Agree €110million Duo Signing for Man Utd

Marek — Mon, 27 Mar 2017 05:52:37 +0000

Jose Mourinho’s visit to Italy has taken the media by storm and there are a number of rumors linking the Red Devils boss with Inter Milan’s Croatian stars.
The players in discussion are Marcelo Brozovic and Ivan Perisic. Yesterday, we covered a report (via La Gazetta Dello Sport) claiming that United will have to splash a mammoth fee of 60 million euros or above to sign Perisic.
Now, according to the latest report covered by the Italian source yesterday, Mourinho is heavily linked with the above mentioned duo.
The report suggests that even though Jose has claimed that his visit is just to enjoy the sun in Italy, still, he is here perhaps to learn more about the duo and to speed up contact with their agents.
Brozovic is someone who could be deployed anywhere in the midfield. On the other hand, Perisic is a versatile playmaker, who could effectively play anywhere in the attacking third. Both players have the quality to improve Man United.
Marcelo could be a long term replacement for veteran midfielder Michael Carrick and Ivan would further reinforce Mourinho’s offense.
Brozovic was only signed for 8 million euros from Dinamo Zagreb but now he has a release clause of 50 million euros in his contract. The economic and technical matter makes sense, which is why it will be easier to see him in the shirt of Manchester United rather than Perisic (Gds Pressreader).
Moreover, the Italian source have once again stated that the Nerazzurri value Ivan a lot more than Brozovic and only a mad figure like 60 million euros could help United secure his signature.

Portugal registered their first win of the Euro 2016 when it mattered the most and have qualified for the quarter finals of the competition after beating Croatia.
The two teams collided in a mundane game and it took nearly two hours for anything worthwhile to happen.
Croatia clearly wanted to avoid a penalty shootout and bombarded Portgual’s defense with waves of attack in the second half of extra time. However, they left it open at the back and paid the price.
Seconds after Perisic struck the post for Croatia, Portugal’s counter attack started by young Renato Sanches was eventually finished off by Quaresma who had the simplest task of heading the ball in the empty net.
The highlights of the game are provided below.

Deal Close – Liverpool to Finally Sign $34million “Extraordinary” Star

admin — Sun, 19 Jun 2016 19:40:40 +0000

Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp must adequately reinforce the squad this summer if the Reds are to have any chance of finishing in the top four next season.
The Anfield club must strengthen all the key departments and as far as the midfield is concerned, Croatian midfielder Mateo Kovacic is in the lime light.
The Merseysiders wanted to sign him last summer as well but the midfielder left the Nerazzurri to join Real Madrid (Telegraph). If reports in the media are anything to go by then the Reds are close to finally signing him.
Three days ago, Gazzetta reported that the European Champions are prepared to sell the 22-year-old versatile star for a fee of $34 million.
Yesterday, reports suggested (Football Italia via Sky Sport Italia) that Liverpool are ready to beat Juventus and Roma by paying the asking price for Kovacic.
Now, renowned journalist Emanuele Giulianelli has claimed today that Liverpool are close to signing Kovacic from Real Madrid for 30 million Euros ($34million).
The “extraordinary” star (Goal) is a complete midfielder. Over the years, he has effectively played as a defensive midfielder, as a creative central midfielder and also as an attacking midfielder. Such versatility will be a major plus for any side.
Mateo mainly warmed the bench for the Los Blancos and could only start 11 games last season. A move to Liverpool may as well help him get regular football.
In your opinion, should Liverpool sign Kovacic?

Ramires vs Modric: 3 Battles that may Decide Brazil vs Croatia

admin — Wed, 11 Jun 2014 06:38:27 +0000

Every four years, the world has one time zone and that time is about to begin tomorrow when the World Cup kicks off.
Brazil and Croatia will collide in the opening fixture of the tournament in an intriguing Group A contest.
Their probable starting lineups can be viewed in the links provided below:

Brazil
Croatia

Here are the three battles that may decide the game between Brazil and Croatia.
Fred vs Lovren
Fred has been the most in form Brazilian forward and is likely to start as the lone striker. In 2013-2014, the Samba star has netted 10 goals in 13 national appearances and will be up against Croatia’s Dejan Lovren who had a successful with English side Southampton.
Ramires vs Modric
This is arguably be the most intriguing battle between the center midfielders. The Chelsea star is one of the consistent performers for Brazil but for Blues, last season he wasn’t up to his high standards. Modric on the other hand was the midfield maestro for Real Madrid last season and pivotal in helping the Los Blancos winning the double of Copa del Rey and Champions League.
Silva vs Jelavic
In the absence of Manfzukic, Jelavic is expected to start and he will be up against Brazilian captain David Luiz. No points for guessing who will likely be the winner of its battle. Can Jelavic somehow put in a world class show against the Brazilian defense, only time will tell.

The World Cup will be up and running in a day as host and five time champions Brazil will play Croatia in the first game.
This is by far the most intriguing game of group A as Croatian have a few quality players that can cause Brazil trouble.
As far as the team news is concerned, the Samba boys do not have any injury concerns and are all set for the first game.
Having won all the warm up games and tried different combinations, Scolari is expected to start his favorite side.
Expect Chelsea duo, Oscar and Ramires to start the game while Willian might come from the bench. Former Blue David Luiz who left for PSG lately is most likely going to partner his new club teammate and Brazilian captain Thiago Silva in the starting lineup.
Here is Brazil’s probable XI formation vs Croatia.

Possible Croatia Starting XI Formation vs Brazil

admin — Tue, 10 Jun 2014 16:04:37 +0000

With teams like Mexico and Cameroon in the group, Croatia will be well aware that even a draw against might Brazilian might not mean enough to go through.
Nevertheless, Kovac will have to get his tactics spot on to upset favorites and host Brazil in their own backyard. Is that too much to ask, may be?
As far as Croatian team news is concerned, their biggest absentee from the game is start striker Mario Mandzukic.
The Bayern Munich star is suspended for the opening game and is likely to be replaced by Jelavic or Olic.
The strongest department of Croatia is their central midfield with two top stars in Luka Modric and Ivan Rakitic who had brilliant last seasons with Real and Sevilla winning Champions league and Europa league respectively.
Other than that, young Kovacic made a decent mark with Inter Milan , made 32 league appearances and might be given the nod to start. Of these 3, Rakitic may as well move forward in the central attacking position more often.
Here is possible Croatia starting XI formation vs Brazil.
