Liverpool and Slot now best placed to sign £320k-p/w star for free in 2025

da bet7: Liverpool have now shot to the front of the queue to sign a new attacker for Arne Slot in 2025, it has been claimed.

Questions over Liverpool's attack

da apostebet: It has been a perfect start to life at Liverpool for Arne Slot, with his side seven points clear at the top of the Premier League and having lost just once across all competitions in 2024/25.

That form has been spearheaded by Mohamed Salah, who provided two goals and an assist to help them secure a 3-3 draw with Newcastle United in their most recent outing. Out of contract this summer as things stand, the 32-year-old is currently top of the Premier League goalscoring charts ahead of Erling Haaland, while only Bukayo Saka has more than his eight assists.

However, the season has been less fruitful for Liverpool’s other forwards. Diogo Jota and Federico Chiesa have both spent much of it sidelined through injury, while only Luis Diaz has scored more than twice for Slot’s side this season when you take away Salah’s contributions.

With Jota and Chiesa both injury-prone, and Darwin Nunez doing little to impress into his third season at Anfield, Liverpool could be required to add yet more firepower to their ranks next summer, especially if Mo Salah departs the club for nothing.

Now, they have been tipped to secure a former Premier League winner for free.

Liverpool linked with Leroy Sane move

That comes as reports in Spain claim that Liverpool are now best placed to sign Bayern Munich forward Leroy Sane next summer.

The German forward’s current £320k a week deal in Bavaria expires at the end of the season, and he is yet to agree a new one at the Allianz Arena, with a recent report claiming that the German will have to give up as much as €4m euros per year to remain in Germany.

Ignored by Klopp: £32m Liverpool flop is now outscoring Salah in 2024

Klopp sold a star at the beginning of his Liverpool era, and now that very flop is outscoring Mohamed Salah in 2024.

ByAngus Sinclair Dec 6, 2024

That has led to clubs beginning to circle for his signature next summer, and the report claims that Liverpool “are the best placed to sign him as a free agent” should a deal not be agreed, despite previous reported interest from fellow Premier League sides Arsenal and Newcastle United.

Though Sane has struggled with injuries throughout his career, he is a world-beater on his day, with teammate Jamal Musiala dubbing him “one of the best wingers in the world” in 2023.

However, he would likely need to drop his salary if a move to Merseyside was to become a reality, with his current wages in Germany putting him second to only Salah in Liverpool’s top earners.

With Chiesa and Jota both already in the mercurial but rarely fit category, Sane’s arrival seems unlikely unless one of those depart in the summer, but if he could sustain fitness, he could provide another dimension to Slot’s attack.

رجل مباراة فرنسا وألمانيا في دوري الأمم الأوروبية

حقق منتخب فرنسا المركز الثالث في بطولة دوري الأمم الأوروبية نسخة 2025 بعدما حقق فوزًا، منذ قليل، ضد نظيره منتخب ألمانيا.

وتلاقى المنتخبان عصر يوم الأحد في مباراة تحديد المركز الثالث في دوري الأمم الأوروبية.

وتمكن منتخب فرنسا من تحقيق الفوز على ألمانيا بهدفين دون رد، بفضل النجم كيليان مبابي الذي سجل هدفًا وصنع آخر (لمطالعة التفاصيل كاملة من هنا).

وحسبما نُشر عبر الموقع الرسمي للبطولة، حصل كيليان مبابي على جائزة رجل مباراة فرنسا وألمانيا في دوري الأمم الأوروبية اليوم.

وخاض مبابي المباراة بأكملها، وكانت لديه 6 محاولات وبلغت سرعته 34.8 كم / ساعة.

وقال المراقب الفني للاتحاد الأوروبي لكرة القدم: “لقد سجل الهدف الأول، مما فتح باب اللعب، كما صنع الهدف الثاني، وكان دائمًا خطيرًا، خاصة في التمريرات القصيرة لـ فرنسا”.

خبير لوائح يوضح "تعريف" نهاية الموسم.. وموقف زيزو مع الزمالك

كشف نهاد حجاج، خبير اللوائح والمحامي الدولي، عن تعريف نهاية الموسم المحلي، في ظل الأزمة الدائرة بين الزمالك ولاعبه أحمد سيد زيزو.

ومن المقرر أن ينتهي عقد أحمد مصطفى زيزو مع الزمالك، بنهاية الموسم الحالي 2024-2025، لكن النقطة الجدلية تتمثل في هل بعد نهاية مباراة كأس مصر، أم انتهاء بطولة كأس عاصمة مصر “الرابطة”؟.

طالع |بعد طلب الزمالك.. بند في اللائحة يهدد انتقال زيزو إلى الأهلي قبل كأس العالم للأندية (مستند) ويستعد الزمالك لمواجهة بيراميدز في نهائي كأس مصر، الخميس المقبل، في الثامنة والنصف مساء، وهي المباراة التي من المفترض أن تكون بمثابة نهاية عقد زيزو مع اللاعب.

وأخطر الزمالك، الاتحاد المصري لكرة القدم، باستمرار عقد “زيزو” مع النادي، إلى يوم 12 يونيو الجاري، وهو موعد انتهاء مباريات بطولة كأس عاصمة مصر.

في حين يرغب الأهلي في ضم زيزو لقائمة الفريق بكأس العالم للأندية، حال الإعلان عن التعاقد معه عقب نهاية كأس مصر بين الزمالك وبيراميدز، أي بعد يوم 5 يونيو.

وقال نهاد حجاج في تصريحات لبرنامج “لعبة والتانية” عبر راديو “ميجا إف إم”، إن لائحة شئون اللاعبين المصرية حددت تعريف انتهاء الموسم، وهي المدة ما بين بداية ونهاية المسابقات التي يقرها الاتحاد المصري، والمتمثلة في الدوري وكأس مصر فقط.

واختتم: “وبالنسبة للوائح الدولية، ففي الفقرة 41 للوائح الدولية، حددت نهاية الموسم، والتي تبدأ بالمباريات الرسمية بالدوري المحلي والكأس، وتنتهي بآخر مباراة رسمية لهذه المسابقات”.

The 11 best-ever starts to a Premier League season – list

da supremo: Liverpool’s 3-2 win over Southampton at the weekend further extended their lead at the top of the Premier League table to a whopping eight points after just 12 games played.

da bet vitoria: The Reds have already amassed an impressive 31 points – a total that has only been reached 10 times in Premier League history. Eight of those clubs went on to win the title.

Here, we recall the 11 best starts to a Premier League season, including Liverpool’s impressive start to life under Arne Slot. In the case of a tiebreaker, we’ve separated teams first by the lead they had at the time, and then by the amount of goals scored.

The closest title races in Premier League history

Manchester City and Arsenal have delivered a Premier League title race for the ages – here are some of the tightest from years gone by…

ByStephan Georgiou May 20, 2024 11 Arsenal 31 points, 2022/23

Reigning Premier League champions Manchester City appeared to have made a mistake by letting Gabriel Jesus and Oleksandr Zinchenko move to Arsenal in the summer of 2022.

With the pair in their team, the Gunners started the 2022/23 Premier League season with ten wins, one draw and one loss from their first 12 games – form that saw them amass 31 points and a two-point lead over Manchester City at the top of the table.

Ultimately, however, City won the title on the penultimate weekend, somewhat vindicating their decision to let Jesus and Zinchenko move to north London.

ByRoss Kilvington Nov 2, 2024 10 Manchester United 31 points, 2006/07

A 5-1 victory over Fulham on the opening day of the 2006/07 season saw Manchester United instantly claim the Premier League’s top spot.

9 more wins from their next 11 games saw Sir Alex Ferguson’s side, minus a brief two-week slip in September, maintain that position, and by mid-November, they were three points clear of Chelsea at the head of the table.

In 1995/96, Newcastle United, led by manager Kevin Keegan and bolstered by new recruits Les Ferdinand and David Ginola, won nine of their first dozen matches, recording wins over Liverpool, Everton and Chelsea to go five points clear at the top.

Ferdinand scored 14 goals in those 12 games – a record that stood until Man City’s Erling Haaland scored 17 in the same timeframe in 2022/23.

The Magpies stayed top until February, but a run of five defeats in eight eventually saw them concede the title to Manchester United.

By matchday 12, Mourinho’s side, who had kept six clean sheets in their first six games, were six points clear of second-placed Wigan Athletic (yes, really) at the top of the table.

Mohamed Salah scores for Liverpool

Following the departure of long-standing manager Jurgen Klopp in the summer, it was expected that Liverpool would take time to get used to life under successor Arne Slot.

Instead, the Reds have already soared into an eight-point lead in the Premier League after 12 games, having recorded wins over Manchester United, Chelsea and Aston Villa.

Their only defeat has come at the hands of Nottingham Forest, who beat them 1-0 back in September 2024.

No team in Premier League history has had a bigger lead at the top of the table after 12 games than Manchester United in 1993/94.

By late October, the Red Devils were already nine points ahead of second-placed Norwich City, who they had beaten 2-0 on the opening day thanks to goals from Ryan Giggs and Bryan Robson.

Unsurprisingly, United went on to win the title by an eight-point margin.

ByRoss Kilvington Nov 8, 2024 4 Chelsea 32 points, 2014/15

The 2014/15 season was Chelsea’s first since 2000/01 without talisman Frank Lampard, who had joined Man City in the summer.

His absence proved not to matter, as the Blues went undefeated in their first 14 games. After 12, they had amassed 32 points and were six points clear of surprise package Southampton at the top.

Summer signing Diego Costa was their main man, scoring 11 times in his first 10 Premier League games, including in wins over Liverpool and Arsenal.

During the game, Mario Balotelli unveiled an undershirt that read “Why Always Me?” after opening the scoring, seemingly responding to tabloid stories about his controversial behaviour off the pitch.

Liverpool won 11 of their first 12 Premier League games in the 2019/20 season to soar into an eight-point lead over second-placed Leicester City, scoring 28 goals in the process. After that, they won their next 15 on the trot.

Despite a slip in form in the final couple of months of the campaign, the Reds’ near-perfect start was more than enough to see them clinch their first league title since 1990.

New Zealand, Pakistan and a semi-final in the spirit of 1992

One team topped the group, the other barely made it, just like it was three decades ago

Uthappa: Split Babar and Rizwan, make Haris open

Big picture
There are parallels. They may not mean anything, but they’re there, if you’re the kind of cricket fan who looks for them. And if you’re a Pakistan fan, you’re always looking for parallels to 1992.Well, here are a couple. New Zealand began their tournament with a big win over Australia. New Zealand topped their group table (yes, there were no groups in 1992, but let’s not nitpick), losing only once before the knockouts. New Zealand’s No. 4 was, and is, the tournament’s leading batter (according to no less an authority than Smart Stats.)And then we come to Pakistan. A Pakistan who were all but out of the tournament, only for forces beyond human comprehension – , you might say – to carry them into the semi-finals. They come there fuelled by pace, left-arm swing, and wristspin, among other things (things that don’t quite match the just-like-92 theme), tigers who are cornered no more.There are other ways to look at this contest, but we have a detailed Tactics Board for that. It’ll tell you that batting first could be a significant advantage, that New Zealand will want to bowl short and into the pitch at Pakistan’s batters, that Shaheen Shah Afridi vs Finn Allen could be a key battle.All of that will play a role in Wednesday’s clash at the SCG. But there will also be other forces at play, at least in our imaginations. New Zealand’s history in World Cup knockout games. The history of New Zealand-Pakistan knockout games at World Cups. . The law of nature.Whatever will be, will be as nature wills it.* After Pakistan’s loss to England in the third T20I in Karachi in September, their head coach Saqlain Mushtaq reacted in inimitably philosophical manner at his post-match press conference. ” [It’s the law of nature, it’s not in our control]” Widely mocked in social media in the immediate aftermath of their utterance, the words gained an entirely new connotation after South Africa’s shock upset at the hands of Netherlands paved the way for Pakistan to reach the World Cup semi-finals.Form guide

Tim Southee and Trent Boult have been in four World Cup finals across the three formats, but they’re yet to get their hands on a white-ball trophy.

Pakistan have the tools with which they can put him under pressure, if they deploy Shan Masood and Mohammad Nawaz at the right time. Much as they did to counter the threat of Shakib Al Hasan, they could promote Nawaz up the order and hold Mohammad Haris back.Kane Williamson (31 off 36 balls, one dismissal) and Daryl Mitchell (13 off 15 balls, one dismissal) have struggled against legspinners at this World Cup.

Teams batting first have won five out of six games played at the SCG so far at this World Cup. But there’s one factor that could reduce the impact of the toss: the pitch that will be used for the semi-final is the same one that hosted the Super 12s opener between Australia and New Zealand. It was the flattest and most batting-friendly of the three pitches that have been used so far in Sydney.There is a small chance of rain on Wednesday morning, but the weather should clear up by the time the match is scheduled to start.Stats and trivia
Wednesday’s match will be the SCG’s third Men’s World Cup (50-overs and T20) semi-final. The Daren Sammy National Stadium in St Lucia and the R Premadasa Stadium in Colombo have hosted three semi-finals each, while The Oval and Old Trafford have hosted four each. In the powerplay phase of this World Cup, Pakistan have scored at a run rate of 5.93. Only Zimbabwe and Netherlands have done worse since the start of the Super 12s stage. Four members of the Pakistan XI that lost to Australia in the semi-finals of last year’s T20 World Cup have played no part in this edition of the tournament – Shoaib Malik, Mohammad Hafeez, Imad Wasim and Hasan Ali. New Zealand were losing finalists in that tournament; from the XI that featured in the final, only Tim Seifert has failed to make their squad for this edition.

O jogador de 24 anos de idade tinha previsto em contrato que receberia um aumento nos seus vencimentos caso atingisse determinadas metas de desempenho. Entretanto, não se sabe exatamente qual seria o percentual desse aumento.

Segundo informação do jornalista João Batista Filho, o avante recebia cerca de R$ 7 mil no Novo Hamburgo, equipe que defendeu antes de desembarcar no Beira-Rio e ter seus ganhos elevados para a casa dos R$ 35 mil.

Apesar da considerável subida nos ganhos pessoais, o patamar salarial que Alemão possuia ainda era comparável a nomes que recentemente haviam sido elevados da base para o profissional do Inter, algo bem distante da sua realidade onde, em 23 partidas, marcou seis gols e deu duas assistências.

-Estou em casa aqui, minha família toda aqui. Recebi muito carinho. Para quem foi mandado embora daqui do clube, poder voltar contra eles e marcar dois gols, estou muito feliz. Não sei como dou o nome para aquele gol, mas foi bonito.

O atacante vai aproveitar que está tão perto da sua cidade natal e vai aproveitar para visitar a família, porém sem perder o foco do jogo de quinta-feira, contra a Universidad Católica, pela Sul-americana.

– Precisava dessa vitória. Agradecer a Deus, aos meus familiares que estão aqui. Estou muito feliz. Vou para casa, minha cidade aqui do lado. Descansar, porque tem um jogo duro quinta-feira.

Arsenal must finally sell £45m flop who Arteta was "very excited" to sign

da bwin: After two years of seriously impressive performances, there was a general expectation that Arsenal would be just as good, if not better, this year.

da casino: Unfortunately for Mikel Arteta and Co, that has simply not been the case, as a concoction of injuries, foolish suspensions, and subpar displays has seen the team fall to fourth in the Premier League, nine points off leaders Liverpool.

Now, it’s not been all bad, as there have been some impressive results, and a handful of players are doing their best to turn things around, but overall, it’s been a disappointing start to the campaign for the North Londoners.

Moreover, it’s been particularly worrying for one of the Gunners’ best-paid attackers, who’s gone from a guaranteed starter to someone who has to be sold.

Arsenal's middling attack

Okay, so before we get to the player in question, let’s examine Arsenal’s most dangerous players this season, starting with one who can keep his head held high: Bukayo Saka.

The Hale End icon hasn’t necessarily been at his very best this year, but even then, he’s scored four goals and provided seven assists in 15 appearances, equating to an average of a goal involvement every 1.36 games, and, unsurprisingly, has been the club’s most effective attacker.

Just behind him is last summer’s £65m man, Kai Havertz, who has also not been at his very best this season but has nonetheless looked better than most of his teammates, as in his 17 appearances, he’s found the back of the net on seven occasions and provided one assist for good measure.

The final attacker, who it could be argued is starting to have a good season so far, is Gabriel Martinelli, who, after a slow start to the campaign, now has a semi-respectable haul of three goals and three assists to his name in 17 appearances.

Unfortunately for Arteta, the only other players in the squad to have amassed three goal involvements this season are Leandro Trossard, Ethan Nwaneri and Declan Rice, which, for a team aiming to win the Premier League or Champions League, is more than a little worrying.

Moreover, the eagle-eyed of you will notice a certain forward is entirely absent from the Gunners’ most dangerous players this year, a forward who should finally be moved on in 2025.

The Arsenal star who must be sold

So, it’s probably quite apparent by this point that the forward in question is, of course, Gabriel Jesus.

Arsenal spent £45m to secure his services from Manchester City in the summer of 2022, and at the time, it wasn’t the fans who were delighted with the deal, as Arteta told the press that he was “very excited” about the Brazilian’s arrival, and based on how he started that season it was easy to understand why.

For example, in the 16 Premier League games before the Qatar World Cup, the Sao Paulo-born dynamo scored five goals and provided five assists, meaning he was averaging a goal involvement every 1.6 games in the league.

Unfortunately, he suffered a severe knee injury at the World Cup and was out of action until mid-March, and while he still managed to score six goals and provide one assist in his final 12 league games that season, he looked notably slower and understandably less sharp.

There was a general hope among the fanbase that, with a summer to rest, he’d be back to his electric self the following season, but that wasn’t the case.

By February, he had lost his place in the team to Havertz, and due to the German’s incredible form towards the backend of the campaign, he’s not regained it this year.

Moreover, while the 27-year-old was still able to produce 16 goal involvements in his 36 appearances last season, he’s taken another massive step back this year and, as things stand, has scored just one goal and provided one assist in 15 appearances.

It’s a sad situation, and for another side, he might be given another chance to earn his place in the team again, but as Arsenal continue to fight for significant honours, they cannot afford any passengers.

This is especially true in Jesus’ case, as he’s currently the second-highest earner in the squad, on a whopping £265k-per-week, which is becoming increasingly difficult to justify with every dismal display. Therefore, while it could be construed as harsh by some, Arteta and the club must cut their losses and sell the former City star as soon as possible.
