Andy Brown — Thu, 27 Sep 2018 10:32:19 +0000

The clash between the first-place finishers and the runners-up from the previous season continues in full force during the present one. Juventus have made the perfect start and are looking to extend their run as much as possible. They are the team to beat in Italy, but if there is a squad to challenge them, it is exactly the hosts. Napoli will likely come in form slower but certainly will do their best to win.
The Partenopei beat the Old Lady away from home a year before, blowing open the title race and will try to repeat this success once again.

Key Players Missing

Mattia De Sciglio and Sami Khedira have injuries and may not be fit on time. Douglas Costa will be missing all the next month due to a malleolar injury. The 28-year-old player is also suspended for spitting on Sassuolo’s player Federico Di Francesco two rounds ago.
Amin Younes has an Achilles tendon rupture and will miss the match. Alex Meret and Vlad Chiriches are ruled out but they will rarely take part in the starting eleven anyway.

Napoli sign £40,000-a-week goalkeeper on a season-long loan

Sri Aswin — Wed, 15 Aug 2018 22:14:31 +0000

Napoli have reportedly acquired the services of goalkeeper David Ospina from Arsenal on a temporary basis. The Colombian had become the Gunners’ third-choice goalkeeper following the arrival of Bernd Leno this summer and this has eventually urged him to secure a fresh challenge elsewhere.
According to The Guardian, the Naples outfit have signed the £40,000-a-week shot-stopper on a season-long loan with the obligation to buy at the end of the forthcoming campaign. The Colombian is expected to fulfil the void left by Pepe Reina’s departure to AC Milan and this should assure him of the regular gametime, he has been craving for in recent seasons.
Earlier this summer, the Naples outfit had recruited goalkeepers Alex Meret and Orestis Karnezis on temporary deals from Udinese and the former was widely expected by many to take up the first-choice goalkeeping duties for the 2018/19 season. However, his ambition was shortlived after he broke his arm in just the second day of pre-season and this may have proved the key cause behind Napoli’s decision to land Ospina.
Meanwhile, at Arsenal, Petr Cech has claimed the number one role under Unai Emery despite widespread suggestions that Leno could start between the sticks. The German had shared the goalkeeping duties with Cech during the course of pre-season but Emery is seemingly prepared to wait longer before introducing the 26-year-old to the rigours of the Premier League.
Arsenal begun their campaign with a rather disappointing 2-0 loss at the hands of Manchester City but they should be aiming to bounce back when they take on Chelsea on the road this weekend. The Capital outfit have competed effectively against the Blues since May 2017 with not a single competitive defeat and this should give them the motivation for Sunday’s London derby.

Manchester United eyeing summer switch for Napoli frontman

Omer — Sun, 06 May 2018 21:04:23 +0000

Manchester United are reportedly weighing up a summer attempt to sign Napoli frontman Dries Mertens. The Belgium international has been a frequent goalscorer for the Naples outfit and he has amassed 56 goals since the start of the previous campaign.
According to The Sun, the Red Devils have enquired over the possibility of signing the 31-year-old attacker after knowing of the £25m release clause attached to his present contract.
Mertens was initially a winger by trade following his arrival at Napoli from PSV in 2013 and it was not until the previous campaign when he managed to improve on his goalscoring.
Napoli manager Maurizio Sarri had witnessed the departure of Gonzalo Higuain to Juventus in the summer of 2016 and this was soon followed by a long-term injury to new signing Arkadiusz Milik.
As a result, the Italian head coach opted to utilise Mertens in a centre-forward position and the Belgian has since transformed into one of the Serie A’s most successful goal-getters behind only Edin Dzeko.
Manchester United are currently comfortably placed in terms of their options in the attack but there could be tempted to do business during the summer, should one of their fringe players move on.
The likes of Marcus Rashford and Anthony Martial have received limited gametime since the winter arrival of Alexis Sanchez from Arsenal and the latter’s future has particularly come under question over the past few weeks.
Both Juventus and Barcelona have been touted as possible contenders to prise away Martial from Old Trafford during the summer and this could turn into a possibility, should he continue to be starved of regular gametime.
Meanwhile, Mertens’s possible arrival could increase the creativity within the United forward ranks with the player more fond of playing with compatriot Lukaku in the Belgium national setup.
The pair have combined for a number of occasions under the tutelage of Roberto Martinez and he could emerge as an effective signing in the second striker role where Jesse Lingard has been inconsistent with his performances this term.

Jose Mourinho Ready to Pay $72.3million to Secure Signing for Manchester United in Summer

Marek — Tue, 02 Jan 2018 21:30:32 +0000

Manchester United have been looking to sign a new left back for quite some time and they may finally end up getting one but in the summer transfer window.
In the current campaign, Young, a natural winger, has mainly started in the left back position for United and lately, he has been banned for three games by the FA.
Luke Shaw has never been able to impress for the Red Devils since moving to Old Trafford back in 2014 and he should be sold. Darmian has been a bench warmer as well.

If reports (TuttoSport) in the media are anything to go by then Mourinho is ready to pay the release clause of 60 million euros ($72.3million) to secure the signing of Napoli’s Faouzi Ghoulam.
The Italian source have claimed that Napoli have reached an agreement with Benfica to lure Grimaldo, who would arrive at the end of the season.
It is mentioned that Alex’s signing opens the door for Ghoulam to leave in the direction of United, where Jose would give the consent to sign the Algerian defender by activating his release clause.
The 26-year-old African star is a solid left back, who has been effective in the attacking third as well. This season, so far, in 17 appearances for the Serie A leaders, Faouzi has directly contributed in 7 goals (2 goals and 5 assists).

Manchester United have to Agree $33million Star Signing

Marek — Sat, 11 Nov 2017 08:06:13 +0000

Manchester United did spend a huge amount to sign Lukaku in the summer transfer window but at the moment, the Belgian international is out of form.
On the other hand, last year’s signing Henrikh Mkhitaryan has been poor as well and therefore, Manchester United have suffered in recent times.
In such a scenario, the Red Devils must improve their attack in the upcoming winter transfer window and in my opinion, they have to sign Dries Mertens from Napoli.

The Old Trafford club have been closely following the 30-year-old Belgian international for quite some time and he only has a release clause (TuttoSport h/t CalcioMercato) of 28 million euros in his contract ($33million).
The Belgian star is a versatile talent, who can effectively play anywhere in the attacking third and this season, he has been in fantastic form for the Serie A side, who are currently on top of the league table.
In 18 games (all competitions), Dries has directly contributed in no fewer than 19 goals (12 goals and 7 assists). United need such firepower to challenge Manchester City for the title in the second half of the campaign.
In your opinion, should United activate the release clause in Mertens’ contract to secure his signature?

Klopp Prepared to Secure $78million Star Signing for Liverpool

Zaryab — Mon, 14 Aug 2017 19:00:36 +0000

Liverpool are going to be without Philippe Coutinho for the first leg of their CL play-off tie against Hoffenheim tomorrow night and it will not come as any surprise if the Brazilian leaves the club this summer.
Jurgen Klopp will need a quality replacement in case the former Inter Milan star departs and reports suggest that a top player is being eyed by the German manager.
According to Mirror, the former Borussia Dortmund boss is prepared to secure the signing of Italian international and Napoli star Lorenzo Insigne if Coutinho leaves the Anfield club in the summer transfer window.

The 26-year-old Azzurri star was in brilliant form for the Serie A club in the last campaign. He featured in 49 games in all competitions and directly contributed in no fewer than 32 goals (20 goals and 12 assists).
As per the provided Mirror link, Napoli do not want to sell their prized asset but if Liverpool get a huge amount of cash from the sale of Coutinho then they can use the funds to tempt the Italian side into a deal for the £60million rated ($78million) attacker.
Lorenzo can play in multiple attacking positions but naturally he is a left winger. In your opinion, is he good enough to replace Phil?

10 Assists: Liverpool Want this Star to Replace $19million Player

Zaryab — Thu, 22 Jun 2017 19:15:12 +0000

Liverpool needed to sign a natural fullback last summer but they did not and Jurgen Klopp opted to use James Milner in the LB position.
The retired England international is a natural midfielder but he proved to be fantastic in the left back role and remained consistent through out the campaign.
However, the Merseysiders must splash the cash and sign a natural left back this summer to solve the dilemma once and for all.
Spanish international Alberto Moreno warmed the bench last season and Liverpool are prepared to sell him in the summer transfer window.

According to renowned Sky Italia journalist Gianluca Di Marzio, Italian side Napoli inquired about hiring the services of the former Sevilla star and in return Liverpool asked for Faouzi Ghoulam.
Liverpool need a full-back, who is not only solid at the back but also productive in the attacking third and Ghoulam should be perfect for the role. Last season, the 26-year-old Algerian international featured in 38 games (all competitions) for the Serie A club and provided no fewer than 10 assists.
Daily Mail have reported that the Anfield club rejected Napoli’s bid worth 11 million pounds for Moreno and then asked about signing Ghoulam. The report says that Liverpool are keen on luring him but want 15 million pounds ($19million) for Moreno, who only started 2 league games last season.

Liverpool Moved in With an Offer to Sign $65million Star

Zaryab — Tue, 20 Jun 2017 05:11:55 +0000

Liverpool need to bolster their defense by signing a top quality center half and a left back in the summer transfer window.
The Reds conceded goals on regular basis in the last campaign and Klopp needs to sort out the back line before the start of the next season. The Merseysiders wanted to sign Virgil van Dijk but then ended their interest in luring the Dutch star (via LFC).
The Anfield club are looking at other options and as per recent reports, Napoli star Koulibaly is in the limelight.
Renowned Italian football journalist, Emanuele Giulianelli, covered an exclusive report for The Sport Review yesterday and claimed that Liverpool moved in with an offer worth 42 million euros to sign the Senegalese center half but the move was rejected by the Serie A side.

The 26-year-old star featured in 28 league games for the Italian club last season and scored 2 goals. He is arguably one of the best defenders in the Italian league.
His current deal with Napoli will expire in 2021 and it has a release clause (Football Italia) of 58 million euros ($65million) (Il Mattino via Liverpool Echo).
Giulianell further claimed that Liverpool are ready to offer the defender a deal that will make him earn £54,000-a-week ($18million in five years). In your opinion, is Koulibaly good enough to improve Klopp’s back line?

Tottenham Moved in With an Offer to Sign £62million Star

Omer — Thu, 15 Jun 2017 07:49:42 +0000

Liverpool and Tottenham are interested in hiring the services of Polish international and Napoli star Piotr Zielinski and reports suggest that both clubs have moved in with offers to sign him.
According to Il Mattino (full script via Napoli+), the Reds and Spurs came up with offers worth £25million to sign the versatile central midfielder but Napoli opted to reject them.
The Serie A side rate the 23-year-old star very highly. His current contract with the club will expire in 2021 and it has a release clause of 70 million euros (£62million).
Piotr is not the only midfielder linked with a move to Tottenham. Two days back, we covered a report via (RMC and Daily Mail) claiming that the North Londoners are interested in signing Nice star Jean-Michael Seri, who has a release clause of £35million in his contract.

Zielinski featured in 47 games in all competitions for the Italian club last season and directly contributed in 13 goals (6 goals and 7 assists).
On the other hand, the 25-year-old Ivorian star scored 7 goals and provided 9 assists in all competitions (39 games) for the French club in the last campaign.
Daniel Levy is not renowned for splashing huge amounts of cash to sign stars for Tottenham and it is highly unlikely that his approach will change this summer. In your opinion, should Spurs sign Zielinski or Seri?

Klopp Ready to Sign $79million Star – Initial Liverpool Offer Already Made

Zaryab — Wed, 14 Jun 2017 19:00:08 +0000

Liverpool have to improve their key departments in the summer transfer window and as far as the midfield is concerned, Napoli star Piotr Zielinski is once again in the focus.
Zielinski was impressive for Empoli (on loan) in the 2015-16 campaign and the Merseysiders were keen on hiring his services last year as well but the move did not happen.
Now, according to Il Mattino (press image from SW), Klopp is still ready to secure the signature of the 23-year-old star and Liverpool have already made an initial offer for him.
The Italian source state that Liverpool recently made an offer worth 25 million pounds for the Polish international but the Italian side rejected the move because they want a figure closer to his mammoth release clause of 70 million euros ($79million).

The former Udinese star is a creative central midfielder, who scored 5 goals and provided 6 assists in 35 games for Empoli in the 2015-16 Serie A campaign. Moreover, in the last campaign, he scored 5 goals and provided 7 assists in 35 league appearances for Napoli.
Napoli president Aurelio de Laurentiis is not going to let Zielinski leave for cheap but surely he is not worth 70 million euros. If the Serie A side refuse to bring down the asking price then Liverpool should forget about luring him.
Instead, they must focus on signing Bundesliga star Naby Keita from RB Leipzig. In your opinion, who should Klopp sign to reinforce his midfield?
