Everton: Toffees open to Sigurdsson offers

Carlo Ancelotti’s Everton could reportedly be listening to offers for the club’s Icelandic midfielder Gylfi Sigurdsson.

Football Insider recently reported about Sigurdsson’s situation at Goodison Park, saying that the former Tottenham man will likely be on the market in the upcoming summer transfer window.

Everton prepared to sell Sigurdsson despite loss

The report from Football Insider has stated that, while Ancelotti happens to be an admirer of the former Swansea man, he turns 32 later this year and he will also enter the final year of his contract next season. Also, despite fine form, the report added that Everton feel he hasn’t lived up to the fee for which they signed him in 2017.

It has been reported that Everton are looking to sell one key player in the summer to bolster and reinvest in their squad, and Sigurdsson could certainly be that player. The Toffees are prepared to sell the midfielder, even if they will incur a loss on their initial investment.

Having said that, the 31-year-old’s current salary could prove to be a stumbling block in any potential sale, as Sigurdsson earns more than £100,000 per week.

2021 could be a good time to sell Sigurdsson

While Sigurdsson is currently valued at £16.2m by Transfermarkt, his value has fallen over the last two years and that isn’t a good sign for Everton, especially considering that he signed for a fee of £44.46m.

While he has an impressive six goals and nine assists this season, Sigurdsson isn’t getting any younger; and since his current contract expires in the summer of 2022, they can’t afford to let him go for free next year.

Because of his age, reducing value and contract length, it would make sense for Everton to sell Sigurdsson in the summer if an ideal suitor can be found.

بايرن ميونخ يعلن إصابة جديدة بفيروس كورونا ويسعى لتأجيل مباراة مونشنجلادباخ

يضرب فيروس كورونا صفوف فريق بايرن ميونخ الألماني بقوة، وأعلن النادي في بيان رسمي إصابة جديدة في صفوفه.

وأفاد بايرن ميونخ أن ألفونسو ديفيز ثبتت إصابته بفيروس كورونا، إلى جانب ليروي ساني ودايوت أوباميكانو ويخضعون لعزل منزلي.

وبذلك ترتفع الإصابات بفيروس كورونا في بايرن ميونخ إلى تسع إصابات حيث سبق وأعلن إصابة الرباعي مانويل نوير، كينجسلي كومان، كورنتين توليسو وعمر ريتشاردز، بالإضافة إلى لوكاس هيرنانديز ، وتانجوي نيانزو ولمدرب دينو توبمولر، وجميعهم في عزلة منزلية.

إضافة إلى غياب الكرواتي يوزيب ستانيتشيتش بسبب الإصابة، وتوجه الكاميروني إريك مكسيم وتشوبو موتينج والسنغالي بونا سار لمنتخبي بلادهم لخوض منافسات كأس أمم إفريقيا.

وفي حديثه قبل الإعلان عن نتيجة اختبار ديفيز الإيجابي، سُئل حسن صالح حميديتش عن إمكانية تأجيل المباراة ضد بوروسيا مونشنجلادباخ.

وقال لـ DPA: “لدينا حاليًا 10 لاعبين خارج الملعب واثنين من حراس المرمى، لهذا السبب نفكر في كيفية لعب المباراة وناقشنا الوضع مع رابطة البوندسليجا”.

إذا لم يكن لدى بايرن ما لا يقل عن 15 لاعبًا مؤهلاً، بما في ذلك تسعة لاعبين خارج الملعب من الفريق الأول وحارس مرمى واحد، فقد يتم تأجيل المباراة.

وأضاف حميديتش: “هناك مجموعة من القواعد لهذا الأمر، والتي سوف نلتزم بها مثل أي شخص آخر، يبدو أننا سنلعب إذا كان الأمر كذلك، فسنخوض المباراة للفوز بها”.

فيما يتعلق بليون جوريتسكا ونيكلاس سولي، اللذين غابا عن التدريب اليوم، أوضح صالح حميديتش: “جوريتسكا لم يلعب منذ خمسة أسابيع، وسولي لا نعرف أيضًا ما إذا كان بإمكانه اللعب يعاني من مشاكل في الظهر”.

No país onde o ídolo brilhou, Cássio marca história e tenta 'desequilibrar'

MatériaMais Notícias

Cássio tinha apenas oito anos quando Danrlei agarrou tudo com a camisa do Grêmio diante do Atletico Nacional, na Colômbia, e garantiu o título da Libertadores de 1995 para o clube gaúcho. Apenas cinco anos depois, o garoto nascido em Veranópolis (RS), então aos 13, ganhou a oportunidade de iniciar sua carreira de goleiro no Olímpico e especialmente de conhecer o ídolo de infância. O tempo passou. Danrlei, hoje, é deputado federal, o mais votado pelo Rio Grande do Sul na última eleição. Futebol é passado. Cássio, por sua vez, é um dos principais goleiros do Brasil, e estará na Colômbia em que o ídolo se consagrou para completar seu 30º jogo pela Copa Libertadores, todos pelo Corinthians.

Contratado pelo Timão no início de 2012 e decisivo na conquista da Libertadores e do Mundial naquele mesmo ano, Cássio já é referência quando o assunto é a competição continental. Além do ano do inédito título corintiano, ele chegou às oitavas de 2013 e 2015 e agora tenta ir mais longe na edição de 2016. Somadas as quatro participações, são 29 jogos, com saldo positivo: 15 vitórias, oito empates e seis derrotas, além de apenas 16 gols sofridos.

Nesta temporada Cássio atuou em 15 dos 18 jogos oficiais do Timão, sendo quatro pela Libertadores – o quinto será nesta quarta, às 21h45, contra o Santa Fe, no tradicional estádio El Campin, em Bogotá. Dos 11 gols sofridos no ano, o camisa 12 levou dez, sendo quase um terço deles no último compromisso fora de casa pela competição, contra o Cerro Porteño (PAR). Além do desafio de segurar a bronca e encaminhar a classificação, o goleiro corintiano terá a chance de desequilibrar uma das poucas estatísticas que não pesam a seu favor.

Até hoje, o fã de Danrlei encarou 15 jogos como visitante na Libertadores, e soma cinco vitórias, cinco empates e cinco derrotas. Contra o Santa Fe, Cássio tem a chance de restabelecer as marcas positivas de seu currículo e ainda garantir a vaga do Timão nas oitavas de final da Libertadores, já que uma vitória fará o Timão abrir cinco em relação aos colombianos e não poderá mais ser alcançados por eles, ficando, assim, no mínimo em segundo lugar no Grupo 8.

– Vamos buscar os três pontos, mas sabemos que será um jogo complicado. Pontuar é importante, mas nosso objetivo é voltar com a vitória e a classificação – diz o goleiro do Corinthians, que não esconde a admiração pelo ídolo de infância.

-Vim de família humilde e conheci o Danrlei quando tinha 13 anos, quando eu era criança. Pedi a luva dele, e foi um momento muito legal. Anos depois subi para treinar no profissional com ele, que me dava dicas. Foram cinco minutos quando eu era criança que fizeram tudo valer a pena. Se ele tivesse sido ignorante comigo talvez eu nem estivesse aqui hoje, teria desistido, não sei – relembra.

Em nome do ídolo Danrlei, o campeão de 2012 quer fazer história de novo. Haja fé para o Santa Fe.

Aston Villa: Fans react to Barkley loan fee

Plenty of Aston Villa fans have been reacting to a post regarding a possible permanent swoop for on-loan midfielder Ross Barkley.

According to Football Insider, Villa chief executive Christian Purslow is spearheading a permanent move for the 27-year-old, with the Blues wanting £35m for his full-time services.

Dean Smith is reportedly yet to be convinced over a potential club-record deal this summer, with Barkley failing to start any of the club’s last four Premier League games, despite Jack Grealish missing those fixtures with a leg issue.

Football Insider went on to add that Villa paid Chelsea a huge £11m fee to take Barkley to the Midlands for the 2020/21 season.

The Blues paid Everton just over £15m for the England international back in 2018 – meaning Villa have handed Chelsea 66% of that deal three years ago just for a loan spell.

@AbsoluteChelsea shared Football Insider’s update, specifically on the £11m reveal, which led to these Villa fans giving their views. One even labelled the fee as ‘farcical’.

No embalo do ouro, Tite quer Seleção jogando mais vezes no Maracanã

MatériaMais Notícias

Tite estava lá. Ele viu in loco o ambiente do Maracanã na conquista do ouro olímpico da Seleção Brasileira de futebol. Impressionado com o que presenciou, o treinador admitiu que deseja ver o Brasil atuando mais vezes no gramado carioca.

RelacionadasSeleção BrasileiraTite faz primeira convocação e chama Paulinho, Taison e GiulianoSeleção Brasileira22/08/2016

– Gostaria, sim, que fosse o Maracanã e que tivesse essa oportunidade. Ela arrepia, emociona. Claro que traz uma responsabilidade na proporção exata do apoio, mas eu prefiro que seja assim – afirmou o técnico durante a coletiva de convocação para os jogos contra Equador e Colômbia, pelas Eliminatórias.

A Seleção não tem jogos previstos ainda pelas Eliminatórias no estádio. Além disso, antes da Rio-2016, o Brasil só tinha jogado no Maracanã pela última vez na final da Copa das Confederações.

Tite citou o ambiente do estádio algumas vezes na coletiva. Ele falou por exemplo do momento em que um menino veio abraçá-lo antes dos pênaltis.

– Ele tremia, mas eu tremia também – afirmou o treinador, que ainda fez uma reflexão:
– Eu estava no Maracanã e pensei: puxa vida, é muita paixão e um misto de loucura.

Sunderland: Phillips wants Sanderson stay

Heading into the New Year period, Dion Sanderson was very much a bit part of this Sunderland side.

The 21-year-old had started just two matches for the Mackems and it was looking like a failed loan spell.

The defender arrived from Wolves last summer but it’s taken until recent months for the young prodigy to finally make his mark.

His form has been exemplary too. Sanderson has formed part of a centre-back pairing that kept five clean sheets in a row prior to the 1-1 draw with Lincoln.

It almost defies belief, therefore, that he didn’t receive much of a chance in the early months of the season. It will be a decision that Phil Parkinson rues but one that’s seen Lee Johnson take Sunderland to the next level.

With Sanderson in their backline, the Black Cats have risen to third in the League One table. He has stepped up admirably with a number of defenders out injured.

Without troubles to the likes of Tom Flanagan, Jordan Willis and Bailey Wright, he wouldn’t have got a chance.

His opportunity has come about as mere good fortune. That being said, he has taken it on excellently and flourished under the stewardship of Johnson.

Sanderson has started nine consecutive league games at centre-half, winning 18 aerial duels and making 30 clearances over that time frame. His numbers are phenomenal and as a result of his performances, Sunderland want him back next season; that’s regardless of the division they’re in.

It’s something that Kevin Phillips would love to see. Speaking exclusively to Football FanCast, he said: “He’s been very impressive and has looked assured and confident on the ball, so yes, it’s no surprise he’s getting linked.”

Phillips continued: “I hope that he finishes the season strongly and helps them go up. I’d love to see him stay at the club next year because I think he’ll just continue to get better.”

If Sunderland don’t achieve promotion then bringing him back to the Stadium of Light will surely be much harder for Kristjaan Speakman. After all, the young defender has already played at Championship level for Cardiff City.

[snack-amp-story url=”https://www.footballfancast.com/web-stories/latest-sunderland-news-and-gossip” title=” Latest Sunderland news and gossip!”]

If you heed the notion from Phillips that Sanderson will only get better, it’s hard to see his future in the third tier.

He has been so impressive and so vital to Sunderland that they simply have to try and bring him back. Wolves will have little use for him in the Premier League so it would be surprising if a deal couldn’t be struck.

That being said, it will surely all hinge on promotion. Johnson knows what he must do.

'Parabéns a você': Corinthians exalta empate e festeja 106 anos em campo

MatériaMais Notícias

Logo após o fim da partida contra o Fluminense, os jogadores do Corinthians foram em direção ao setor das arquibancadas do estádio Giulite Coutinho onde estava sua torcida. Além da comemoração em razão do bom resultado fora de casa – um empate sem gols garante a classificação no dia 21 de setembro, em Itaquera –, o grupo havia combinado de cumprimentar os torcedores por causa do aniversário do Corinthians, que foi fundado em 1 de setembro de 1910 e completa 106 anos nesta quinta-feira.

O meia Rodriguinho, autor do gol alvinegro, comentou a festa e celebrou o importante placar no jogo de ida das oitavas de final do Copa do Brasil.

Só precisávamos ser mais contundentes para buscar o gol – completou o jogador, que deu à Fiel não somente esperança na classificação, mas bons motivos para celebrar o aniversário do time alvinegro.

O volante Cristian seguiu o exemplo do companheiro. Além de parabenizar o clube pelos 106 anos de história, aproveitou para mandar um recado após a “debandada” dos jogadores alvinegros para a Europa nas últimas semanas.

-Tínhamos a obrigação de jogar bem. Estamos fechados com o Cristóvão e a diretoria, a torcida merecia um bom jogo. Nosso grupo está de parabéns, e o Corinthians de parabéns pelo aniversário – afirmou o jogador.

بيكيه عن هزيمة برشلونة من ريال مدريد: مؤلمة.. لكن رؤوسنا مرفوعة

أعرب الدولي الإسباني جيرارد بيكيه، مدافع فريق برشلونة، عن حزنه لهزيمة فريقه القاتلة أمام ريال مدريد في نصف نهائي كأس السوبر الإسباني.

Gerrard suffers potential Helander blow

Steven Gerrard looks to have been handed a potential blow at Rangers ahead of next season, with Filip Helander having been linked with a move away from Ibrox in the past week.

According to Football Insider, both Aston Villa and Leicester City are considering a move for the 27-year-old centre-back, who has been at the heart of Gerrard’s defence alongside Conor Goldson for much of the season and has played a huge part in their title success.

The Swedish international has appeared in 21 of Rangers’ 33 top-flight fixtures so far this season, in which he has averaged an impressive 7.11 rating for his performances.

The Light Blues’ title win has been built on a strong defence, with Gerrard’s side having shipped just 10 goals in the top-flight so far this season, so to lose someone who has been an important part of that would undoubtedly be a huge blow to the 40-year-old ahead of the next campaign.

The former Bologna man reportedly earns £10k per week at Rangers, and given the additional funds that will be available to Rangers next season with Champions League revenue and hopefully the return of fans, Ross Wilson should ensure that the Ibrox outfit are not bullied into selling Helander for a low fee.

[snack-amp-story url=”https://www.footballfancast.com/web-stories/latest-rangers-transfer-rumours-and-news” title=”Read this week’s latest Rangers news, transfer rumours and more!”]

The centre-back is an international with Sweden and is a good age for a centre-back, yet Transfermarkt suggests that he is currently valued at just £1.8 million.

Considering Rangers paid around £3.5 million to Bologna to sign Helander, as well as his impressive form this season, you would hope that the champions would be aiming to receive at least £5 million should he make the move to the Premier League this summer.

[freshpress-quiz id=“588789″]

Gerrard clearly considers Helander a valuable member of his squad, describing him as a “leader” in 2019, so Wilson should do everything he can to keep hold of the Swede ahead of next season. If that’s not possible, then he must negotiate a reasonable fee if the player does have his heart set on a move down south.

And, in other news… Rangers could be set for huge summer profit on gem dubbed “the biggest steal of the century”
