Apesar do acordo apalavrado com o Corinthians há pelo menos duas semanas, o lateral-direito Cicinho encara problemas para obter sua liberação do Ludogorets (BUL) e corre o risco de não retornar ao futebol brasileiro neste segundo semestre. A reunião realizada na quinta-feira não teve resultados positivos para o Timão, segundo revelou nesta sexta o presidente Roberto de Andrade.

-Está difícil. A última informação que nos chegou é que o clube (Ludogorets) não está querendo liberá-lo. Não estamos tão esperançosos quanto estávamos em relação e ele – explicou o mandatário do Corinthians.

Em negociações há pelo menos um mês, o Corinthians já considerava praticamente certa a contratação de Cicinho, que seria o segundo reforço após a conquista do Campeonato Paulista, pois Clayson já treina no CT Joaquim Grava e poderá estrear neste domingo, contra o Atlético-GO, pelo Brasileirão. As conversas estavam tão avançadas que um representante de Cicinho foi à Bulgária na última semana obter a liberação do jogador por empréstimo de seis meses ou uma temporada e até antecipar as férias do jogador, que ainda tem mais dois jogos do campeonato local a disputar.

Apesar das dificuldades na contratação de Cicinho, o Corinthians ainda busca reforços no mercado, com foco em conseguir um lateral-direito, um zagueiro e um meia, além da possibilidade de mais um atacante. Segundo Roberto de Andrade, o clube está atento ao mercado.

-Temos que ter sempre muita atenção, mas não tem nenhuma negociação andando para falar com vocês. Às vezes há uma oportunidade comercial de trazer mais jogadores, queremos deixar o elenco com mais qualidade.

O atacante Clayson foi regularizado pelo Corinthians na noite desta segunda-feira ao ter seu nome publicado no BID (Boletim Informativo Diário) da CBF (Confederação Brasileira de Futebol). Com isso, ele pode estrear pelo Timão contra o Atlético-GO, no domingo, pela terceira rodada do Brasileirão.

Em sua apresentação, na última quinta-feira, Clayson havia dito que estava bem fisicamente e só não iria ficar à disposição para a rodada passada por conta da regularização. Ele estava na Ponte Preta e, inclusive, estreou no Campeonato Brasileiro com dois gols.

Clayson é visto pelo técnico Fábio Carille como opção para três setores diferentes: aberto pela direita, na vaga de Jadson, centralizado, como desempenha Rodriguinho, ou aberto pelo lado esquerdo do ataque, posição de Romero atualmente. Diante do Atlético-GO, ele deve ser opção no banco de reservas.

Outra novidade no Corinthians deve ser a volta de Pablo. Em fase final de tratamento de um incômodo na coxa direita, o zagueiro deve retomar a rotina de trabalhos em campo nesta semana e reassumir a titularidade – a única dúvida é se ao lado de Balbuena ou Pedro Henrique.

Balbuena deixou a partida contra o Vitória após sentir uma fisgada na coxa direita e foi substituído por Léo Santos, de 18 anos. O paraguaio será examinado nesta terça-feira, quando o elenco se reapresenta ao CT Joaquim Grava após um dia de folga, e é dúvida para a próxima rodada do Brasileirão. Se Balbuena se recuperar a tempo, retoma a dupla com Pablo, mas no caso de não apresentar condições de jogo até domingo é Pedro Henrique quem continua na formação titular.

Steve Howey has alleged Ross Barkley will only be able to secure a loan switch to Newcastle United if Chelsea agree to continue paying a large chunk of his wages.

Barkley was left out of the Blues’ matchday squad for their Premier League win over Crystal Palace on Saturday.

Instead, the former Everton midfielder was left to settle for featuring in a behind-closed-doors friendly with non-league side Weymouth.

Barkley’s Chelsea career has not gone to plan since joining in a £15million deal three-and-a-half years ago, with the England international making just 86 appearances.

The 27-year-old suffered another blow ahead of the Premier League curtain-raiser after being left without a squad number.

Barkley – who has two years remaining on his £96,154-per-week contract at Stamford Bridge – has been linked with a host of Premier League clubs throughout the transfer window, with Newcastle, West Ham United and Everton among his suitors.

But Howey believes Newcastle do not have the funds needed to secure Barkley’s services and thinks he will only be heading to St James’ Park if Chelsea offer support.

Speaking exclusively to The Transfer Tavern, former Magpies defender Howey said: “I think he would be on big money and I don’t think Newcastle would be prepared to pay that amount of money.

“On his day, he is a very good player but he has kind of lost his way a little bit. He was excellent at Everton and got a big-money move but it didn’t quite work and he never forced his way in.

“Unless Chelsea would pay half of his wages, I don’t think Newcastle would touch him.”

أثنى مدرب منتخب إنجلترا جاريث ساوثجيت على أداء لاعبيه في مباراة الأمس أمام منتخب ألمانيا، في دوري الأمم الأوروبية.

واستضاف ملعب الأليانز آرينا مباراة المنتخبين في الجولة الثانية من دور مجموعات دوري الأمم الأوروبية، حيث تعادلا بهدف لمثله. أهداف مباراة إنجلترا وألمانيا

وظل منتخب إنجلترا متأخرًا في النتيجة حتى الدقيقة 88، حيث أحرز هاري كين هدف التعادل من ركلة جزاء.

وقال ساوثجيت في تصريحات نشرتها صحيفة “جارديان” الإنجليزية: “في الشوط الثاني بدأنا ببطء بعض الشيء ولم يكن لدينا الاستحواذ، لم نكن عدوانيين بما فيه الكفاية مع ضغطنا ثم استقبلنا شباكنا، لذلك كان الرد الذي قام به لاعبونا رائعًا”.

وأضاف: “بالنظر إلى توازن المباراة، فإن التعادل بشكل عام كان مستحقًا، إنها علامة مهمة بالنسبة لهم مثلها مثل أي شيء آخر”.

وواصل: “لدينا سبعة أو ثمانية ممن أوصلونا إلى نصف نهائي كأس العالم، وهذا هو السبب في أن هؤلاء اللاعبين مهمون جدًا بالنسبة لنا، لأن جوهر الفريق بذل كل ما لديه الليلة، في ليالي مثل هذه عليك القيام بذلك للحصول على نتيجة”.

وأشاد ساوثجيت بـ هاري كين الذي نفذ ركلة الجزاء في وقت صعب، حيث قال: “كان هناك ضغطًا في تلك اللحظة، هو يثق في أسلوبه، لديه إيمان كبير به، حقيقة أنه سجل 50 هدفًا مع المنتخب ستكون الجزء الأهم في تلك القصة”.

واستكمل: “ولكن يجب النظر إلى لعبته بشكل كامل، والطريقة التي قاد بها الهجوم، والطريقة التي نافس بها أمام ألمانيا، والطريقة التي ضغط بها، كل ذلك كان استثنائيًا”.

علق هاني رمزي مدافع الأهلي السابق، على خسارة المارد الأحمر لقب دوري أبطال إفريقيا أمام الوداد المغربي في المباراة التي أقيمت اليوم الإثنين.

وخسر الأهلي من الوداد بهدفين دون رد في المباراة النهائية لدوري أبطال إفريقيا، في المواجهة التي أقيمت على ملعب محمد الخامس بالمغرب.

وقال رمزي خلال تصريحات عبر قناة الأهلي: “الأخطاء التي وقع فيها لاعبي الأهلي كانت سببًا رئيسيًا في الهزيمة، بجانب أنهم دخلوا المباراة متوترين والأجواء كانت صعبة”.

وأضاف: “ومن الواضح أن هناك جزء من الخوف تسلل لهم، وإذا كنا لعبنا المباراة كما نلعب بحماس آخر ربع ساعة كنا سنعود في النتيجة أمام الوداد”.

وتابع: “العوامل الفنية لها تأثير، لا نريد أن نضحك على الناس، معظم لاعبي الأهلي كانوا دون المستوى”.

وأكمل: “فريق الوداد كان لديهم إصرار ورغبة أكثر من الأهلي، لاعبو الأحمر لم يكونوا في مستواهم وكان هناك أخطاء في التحضير والتماسك داخل الملعب، أخطاء كثيرة جدًا على المستوى الفني والتكتيكي”.

Chelsea youngster Conor Gallagher is reportedly set to join Crystal Palace instead of Leeds United this summer, acting as a blow to the Whites.

The Lowdown: Gallagher wanted by Leeds

Marcelo Bielsa continues to be on the lookout for new signings and one player he has been linked with bringing in is Gallagher.

James Marshment, editor at TEAMtalk, confirmed on Thursday morning that the midfielder is “on Leeds’ list of midfield targets this summer”.

The youngster shone on loan at West Brom last season, scoring and assisting twice apiece in the Premier League, and another temporary move from Chelsea is on the cards.

The Latest: Youngster set to choose Palace

Unfortunately, it looks as though Palace have beaten Leeds to Gallagher’s signature, with TEAMtalk revealing the latest developments on Thursday morning.

It is claimed that personal terms were agreed with the Whites, following a trip to the training ground, but the Eagles have emerged as a better option.

The lure of staying in London is seen as a possible reason behind the decision.

The Verdict: Blow for Bielsa

Gallagher is an excellent young footballer with both technical ability and a strong work ethic – Slaven Bilic said that he ‘has everything’ at the beginning of last season, even comparing him to Frank Lampard, so Bielsa will be disappointed to miss out on him.

The Englishman could have been an ideal player to add depth and quality in attacking midfield areas, blossoming alongside superior teammates to those at relegated West Brom.

The Whites will now have to move on to other targets, and with Nahitan Nandez looking more and more likely to join Inter, time is running out to get another midfielder through the door at Thorp Arch before the new season begins.

Aston Villa boss Dean Smith could sign his club’s new Paul Merson in Norwich City star Todd Cantwell.

What’s the story?

Reports from The Telegraph last summer suggested that Smith’s side were weighing up a potential move for the Canaries midfielder, but a deal failed to materialise before the end of the window.

And now, Football Insider claim that Villa are actually in advanced talks with Norwich over finally luring Cantwell to Villa Park, and that there is growing confidence a deal can be done.

Villa’s new Merson

A profile done by Villa’s official club website back in 2010 about five of the greatest midfielders to pull on a shirt, said of Merson: “On the pitch, he was a magician. Merson was brilliant with the ball at his feet and could do things others wouldn’t even dream about.

“People asked questions of the £6.75m fee John Gregory paid for him in 1998 but it definitely proved to be money well spent as he won games and charmed fans. Even though he was obviously struggling away from the sanctity of Villa Park and Bodymoor Heath, his displays were incredible for the club.

“Never afraid to put his foot in, his main attributes, however, were skill and flair as he wowed supporters throughout his four year spell. His finest accolade at the club was undoubtedly winning Players and Supporters Player of the Year awards in 2000.”

Described as someone with a “God-given” talent by his former youth team coach Gary Cockaday, Cantwell has that same natural ability that Merson was gifted with.

Former Norwich striker Dean Ashton raved about him, saying: “When I first saw him I said to Darren Huckerby, ‘how is that lad not training with the first-team?’. He was incredible. The way he was drifting past players. His speed of thought and his awareness. He’s just a wonderful player.”

Last season saw Cantwell average an impressive 1.6 dribbles per game which ranked him joint-top among the rest of Norwich’s squad (Emi Buendia being the other).

The attacking midfielder also features in the top three for Norwich for both key passes and shots per game in the Championship too, another indication of just how influential he is whenever he gets on the ball.

Like Merson, the £19.8m-rated Cantwell has got the ability to unlock defences with a bit of skill or trickery, and Smith should be all over a move this summer.

Meanwhile, Aston Villa are now eyeing this Emile Smith Rowe alternative…

Fulham are willing to let Fabricio Agosto leave Craven Cottage this summer.

What’s the talk?

That’s according to a report by Sky Sports (via Football League World), who claim that Marco Silva would be willing to let the goalkeeper leave the club on a temporary basis in the summer transfer window.

The 33-year-old goalkeeper arrived at Fulham from Besiktas JK in what was a £5m move back in 2018, and has one year remaining on his current contract in west London.

Fans will be buzzing

It would appear to be a fair statement to make that Fabricio Agosto has not quite lived up to his price tag since making the move to Craven Cottage three years ago, having made a total of just two first-team appearances for the club.

In fact, the shot-stopper has not featured for the club since 2018, having made his debut in the Cottagers’ season-opening 2-0 loss to Crystal Palace in the club’s 2018/19 Premier League campaign, with his second appearance coming in the very next game, a 3-1 loss to Tottenham Hotspur.

The former Spain U20 international was then sent on loan to RCD Mallorca in 2019/20, where the £45k-per-week ‘keeper made just one appearance in LaLiga, in which he conceded a penalty, three goals and made an error leading to a shot, seeing him earn a dreadful SofaScore match rating of 5.3.

As such, considering the fact that the 33-year-old is taking home such an enormous weekly wage, as well as simply not appearing to be up to the standard required to feature for Fulham week in week out, the fact that Marco Silva is hoping to loan the Spaniard out this summer should have fans of the club buzzing, as it would very much seem as if Fabricio Agosto is a considerable waste of money.

Lots of Everton fans have been giving their thoughts on Twitter as a transfer update emerged on Richarlison.

As per ESPN journalist Joao Castelo-Branco, Carlo Ancelotti has asked to sign the Brazil international for Real Madrid in the summer window, with him firmly on their radar.

Richarlison did not have his best season in 2020/21, scoring just seven goals in the Premier League, and was often criticised by some members of the Goodison Park faithful for his performances.

However, he has been a key player for the Toffees over the years, scoring 42 times and supplying a further 10 assists in 119 games in all competitions across the last three campaigns (Transfermarkt).

Therefore, Rafa Benitez’s side should only consider selling the 24-year-old if a big offer came in which would be hard to turn down.

Everton fans on Richarlison transfer update

These Toffees supporters seemed split as the transfer update was shared across Twitter, with one fan describing it as ‘amazing news’ that Ancelotti wants a swift reunion with the Brazil international:

In other news, Everton are in a Premier League race to sign this ‘giant’

Southampton fans have been reacting to the news that they are leading the race to sign Adam Armstrong from Blackburn Rovers this summer.

The Saints are preparing for the upcoming 2021/22 season after what was a mixed previous campaign – they finished 15th in the Premier League table but did also reach an F.A Cup semi-final. As they look to improve, they are likely to be looking to bring in new players, and it seems they may be targetting a new striker.

According to The Telegraph, the Saints are leading the race for Armstrong, who currently plays for Blackburn in the Championship. Last term, he enjoyed a fantastic campaign, scoring 29 goals in all competitions (Transfermarkt), and this latest report has suggested he will be moving to a club in the Premier League during this transfer window.

The news was shared on Twitter by @SaintsExtra, and it attracted plenty of attention from the supporters. They took to the social media platform to share their thoughts.
