Former Manchester United striker Carlos Tevez has claimed the club never offered him a deal before he moved to cross-town rivals City in 2009.
The Argentine forward moved to Boca Juniors at the end of last season having won two league titles at Juventus.
Before Juventus, Tevez also enjoyed successful stints at United, winning two Premier League titles and a Champions League crown, before moving to cross-town rivals City where he won another Premier League title and an FA Cup.
His move to City drew the ire of United supporters and then-manager Alex Ferguson, but Tevez said he never had the option of extending his stay at Old Trafford.
With Ferguson nothing happened, it was a normal relationship, he told Marca.
I spent two years on loan at United …
Brighton and Hove Albion are determined to sign Levi Colwill from Chelsea in the summer transfer window, according to . The report has claimed that Brighton are preparing a club-record £40 million bid for the 20-year-old central defender, who spent the 2022-23 season on loan at the Blues from the Seagulls.
Colwill is one of the best young defenders around and did well for Brighton this past season. The England Under-21 international made 13 starts and four substitute appearances in the Premier League for the Seagulls, providing three assists in the process. Colwill also made three appearances in the Carabao Cup. It remains to be seen if Chelsea would be willing to severe ties with the defender on a permanent basis.
Brighton finished the Premier League season sixth in t…
According to a recent report from Tuttomercatoweb, Jorginho’s agent’s recent trip to Barcelona has ramped up speculation regarding his future.
The man associated with great penalties, aside from the one he fluffed in the Euro 2021 final, has also been a loyal servant to Chelsea Football Club across the last few years. The Italian midfielder is a consistent figure for the Blues and throughout his tenure at Stamford Bridge, he’s provided them with many great moments.
Alas, the future direction of the first team under Graham Potter has left many wondering about what the next step is going to be for Jorginho, especially given that he could become a free agent as soon as next year.
As he prepares to turn 31 in December, you’d have to imagine that if he’s go…
Christian Eriksen says he is enjoying the moment at Brentford, but refused to commit to his next steps ahead of a reunion with former club Tottenham on Saturday.
The Denmark international will face his old club for the first time since he linked up with the Bees in January, a move which came seven months after his cardiac arrest at Euro 2020.
The playmaker has defied expectations to make a full return to football after his collapse in Copenhagen last summer, and has been at the heart of Brentford s revival since arriving.
He will reunite with Spurs for the first time since he left for Inter in 2020 this weekend, as well as with former Nerazzurri boss Antonio Conte.
Those close links have fuelled speculation he could return to his former North London ho…
Daizen Maeda wants to “share the joy and happiness” with Celtic fans again as he looks to build on last season’s success.
The tireless Japan forward signed a new four-year deal earlier this month – testament to the success he has enjoyed in Glasgow since arriving from Japanese side Yokohama F.Marinos at the start of 2022.
Maeda has scored 19 goals in 71 appearances – including a goal on his debut against Hibernian at Celtic Park – and has won four trophies, including last season’s historic domestic treble.
Added to that, the 25-year-old’s family have adapted well to life in Scotland and, speaking to Celtic TV, he said: “It is amazing to be able to play for Celtic for many more years.
“I would like to share the joy and happiness with th…
Professional footballers are more than three times likely to die of dementia than those of the general public, new research commissioned by the Football Association [FA] and Professional Footballers Association [PFA] has showed.
Health records of more than 7,000 footballers in Scotland were compared to those of over 23,000 men who did not play professional football.
Experts from Glasgow University led the study, which the FA said was one of the most comprehensive studies ever commissioned globally into the long-term health of former professional footballers .
The issue of dementia in football gained prominence after it was claimed in 2014 that former England striker Jeff Astle died due to a brain condition caused by heading footballs. Astle died at the age of 59 …
Thomas Tuchel has emphasised Layvin Kurzawa s importance to Paris Saint-Germain amid speculation the full-back is about to join Arsenal.
Reports this week suggested left-back Kurzawa, who joined PSG from Monaco in 2015, was set to become Mikel Arteta s first signing at Arsenal.
However, the Frenchman joining on a free transfer at the end of the season is said to be more likely than a move this month.
Kurzawa has been limited to 30 Ligue 1 appearances since Tuchel took over at PSG in May 2018, with the former Borussia Dortmund coach preferring to play Juan Bernat at left-back.
However, with Bernat injured, Kurzawa featured against Monaco on Wednesday in a 4-1 victory, and Tuchel claimed the defender is currently too important to be allowed to leave in J…
Schalke forward Klaas-Jan Huntelaar has fuelled speculation he could re-join Ajax, saying everything is possible .
The 33-year-old left Ajax for Real Madrid in 2009, having struck over 100 goals for the Dutch giants, and he will go back to Amsterdam ArenA with Schalke in a Europa League quarter-final later this month.
Ahead of that clash, big Ajax fan Huntelaar has suggested a more permanent return could be on the cards, with his Schalke contract up at the end of the current campaign.
Everything is possible, he said when asked about a possible move in an interview with Ajax s official website. But it is difficult to say something about it now. We will see.
Ajax were a childhood love of mine. I ve always been a big Ajax fan. It is not very strange my who…
Burnley welcomed Leicester City to Turf Moor on Sunday, in the 23rd round of the 2019/20 Premier League season.
The Clarets have been a regular feature of the English top flight since 2016, but this term they ve been struggling indeed. It has even been reported that Sean Dyche, the man who s been in charge of the team since 2012, is facing a possibility of losing his job despite all the good work he s done over the years. Ahead of this game, they were in 15th place with 24 points to their name, only two more than Aston Villa topping the relegation zone.
On the other hand, Leicester have been sensational this season. Brendan Rodgers has built a truly formidable team, deemed by many better than the title-winning one of 2015/16. Indeed, if it weren t for Liverpool s magnif…
Gareth Bale has shown a lack of commitment to Real Madrid and will likely leave at the end of the season but Jose Mourinho may make a sensational return, according to former Los Blancos president Ramon Calderon.
Wales forward Bale has endured a torrid time at the Santiago Bernabeu in recent weeks, finding himself consigned largely to a bit-part role by head coach Santiago Solari and the focus of heavy criticism from the stands.
Madrid s season has unravelled in the space of three games, with back-to-back Clasico defeats to Barcelona ending their Copa del Rey and LaLiga title chances, while a humiliating 4-1 home loss to Ajax on Tuesday saw the three-time defending champions crash out of the Champions League at the last-16 stage.
With Madrid likely to make signif…
