Sky France's Sacha Tavolieri has now reported that Pep Guardiola and City are ready to convert their interest in Wirtz this summer and make a transfer move before other clubs try to strike a deal. The report has suggested that the eight-time Premier League champions have reached a verbal agreement with Bayer Leverkusen over a summer deal for the 22-year-old attacking midfielder.

DID YOU KNOW?

Despite the verbal agreement between Bayer Leverkusen and City, Sports Zone has reported that Wirtz himself is not convinced of a move to the Etihad Stadium this summer. The Germany international is said to prefer a move to Bayern Munich instead and would even be open to a move to Real Madrid.

The 22-year-old is likely to be taking part in his last match with Bayer Leverkusen when they take on Mainz on Saturday, May 17. Regardless of his reported decision to reject City, he is likely to be subject to a transfer move away from Die Werkself.

The legendary soccer coach was candid and believes his philosophy was shaped more by Americans than coaches from Europe and South America

• Arena credits American coaches across major sports for his development

  WHAT HAPPENED

  Legendary American coach Bruce Arena believes coaches from the U.S. are underrated – even compared to their peers from soccer powerhouses in Europe and South America.

  "Yes, I don’t doubt that at all," Arena said when asked if he believes American coaches are disrespected or not respected at all, during an appearance on Alexi Lalas’ podcast. "And I tell these stories frequently, when I went abroad and met with coaches and sat down with them, and I was kind of surprised at where they’re at.

  "And I still say to this day, I’ve learned more by talking with a coach in the NFL, the NBA, or Baseball than I have speaking with coaches in Europe or South America. And I think coaching in our country is simply outstanding, it really is."

  Arena also expressed optimism about the future of U.S. soccer, pointing to the growing strength of coaching across the country.

  "Have we trailed a little bit in our sport [Football]? Yes, but today you know, I look around the league and there’s some great American coaches in our league and I know that better than anybody because I’ve been around these guys for a number of years," he said. "We have some simply outstanding coaches in the league, and I think they have a great future, and our sport and our national team programs are going to be elite one day. I have no doubt about that."

  Arena’s comments carry weight given his extensive experience in the American game. The legendary coach spent time with more than half a dozen MLS teams and led the U.S. men’s national team from 1998 to 2006 and again in 2016-17, crossing paths with some of modern football’s top coaching minds along the way. He is still the only U.S. manager to take the team to the World Cup quarterfinals in the modern era.

  WHAT’S NEXT?

  For Arena and San Jose Earthquakes, they continued their MLS season with a 1-1 draw over the Columbus Crew, which kept them in 10th place in the Western Conference. They have 10 points after as many games and have lost just twice in their last six games, a streak that includes two wins and as many draws. They face Portland Timbers next on May 3 before hosting Sacramento Republic in the Round of 32 in the US Open Cup on May 7.

Graeme van Buuren was 48 not out in an unbroken 77-run stand with debutant against Derbyshire

ECB Reporters Network13-Sep-2023Ed Middleton marked his first class debut with a composed innings to ensure Gloucestershire of a draw on the final day of the LV= Insurance County Championship match with Derbyshire at the Seat Unique Stadium, Bristol.After bowling their opponents out for 403 from an overnight 398 for 9, the hosts had slipped to 131 for 6 in their second innings, a precarious lead of 105, when 22-year-old Middleton walked out to join skipper Graeme van Buuren.Together the pair snuffed out any hope of a Derbyshire victory, Middleton making 39 and van Buuren 48 in an unbroken stand of 77 that saw their side to 208 for 6 at the close. Off-spinner Alex Thomson finished with 4 for 79.The result left both teams without a Championship win this season. They had to settle for 11 points apiece from a largely forgettable encounter.A draw looked long odds-on favourite at the start of play, with Derbyshire leading by 21 with only one first-innings wicket hand. They were able to add just five runs before last man Pat Brown fell leg before to Zafar Gohar.Skipper Leus du Plooy was left unbeaten on 108, having taken his Championship run tally for the season to 1,160 at an average of 89.23, while Gohar’s wicket gave him figures of 5 for 122.The pitch had offered little assistance to the seamers all match and there were few problems for Gloucestershire openers Chris Dent and Ben Charlesworth in taking the second-innings score to 31 in ten overs before Derbyshire turned to spin in the shape of left-armer Mark Watt.The hosts looked intent on batting out the day and the stand had been extended to 68 before Charlesworth was bowled by Watt for 27 attempting a reverse sweep. Gloucestershire suffered another setback from the last ball before lunch when James Bracey, on eight, pushed forward to Thomson and edged to Wayne Madsen at first slip.At 83 for 2, the home side were 57 ahead. The third ball after the interval saw Chris Dent, who had played well for his 38, bowled between bat and pad by Watt with a ball that turned from outside the left-hander’s off stump.Derbyshire sensed an opportunity. Miles Hammond had made only 12 when well caught low down by Harry Came at second slip off Thomson. And when first-innings centurion Ollie Price became the second Gloucestershire player to be dismissed reverse sweeping, top edging a catch to short leg via a deflection off wicketkeeper Brooke Guest, the scoreboard read 111 for 5.That became 131 for 6 when Gohar swept a comfortable catch to Pat Brown at backward square to give Thomson his fourth wicket and Gloucestershire were in danger of self-destructing. They led by only 105 with a possible 43 overs left in the day’s play.Fortunately for the hosts, 22-year-old Middleton was ready to adopt a more textbook approach to trying to save the game against a turning ball, taking few risks and producing the shot of the day with a straight driven boundary off seamer Brown.By tea, he and van Buuren had taken the total to 169 for 6 and, while not entirely out of the woods, Gloucestershire led by a more healthy 143 with 32 overs remaining. A shortened final session saw the pair able to play with more freedom in bright sunshine.By the time the players shook hands at 4.20pm, van Buuren had led from the front, facing 100 balls and hitting six fours, while Exeter-born Middleton emerged with equal credit from a 91-ball innings also featuring six boundaries.Ultimately, the only winner was a largely docile pitch that made it a tough four days for bowlers on both sides in what was often energy-sapping heat.

Matthews’ 82 and Wellington’s four-for the highlights in narrow win over Amazon Warriors

ESPNcricinfo staff11-Sep-2023

Hayley Matthews’ all-around heroics helped Barbados Royals beat Guyana Amazon Warriors by eight runs in the final as Royals clinched the Women’s Caribbean Premier League title in Tarouba on Sunday. The Royals captain scored a 59-ball 82 to take the team to 169 for 7 and then picked up two wickets with her offspin.Chasing a competitive total, Amazon Warriors started off well, scoring 47 runs for the loss of one wicket in the powerplay. While Sophie Devine made 22, her opening partner Suzie Bates scored a run-a-ball 36. But Shemaine Campbelle and Natasha McLean picked up pace in the middle order, hitting 47 not out and 28 respectively, with the equation coming down to 29 off 15 balls.However, McLean’s run-out triggered a collapse as Warriors went from 141 for 3 to 161 for 8. Australia legspinner Amanda-Jade Wellington’s crucial 19th over fetched her three wickets, with all of Shabika Gajnabi, Shreyanka Patil and Sheneta Grimmond getting stumped in the same over. Wellington finished with excellent figures of 4 for 23, which includes the wicket of Stefanie Taylor just after the powerplay.Earlier in the game, Royals lost their opener Gaby Lewis for 21 in the fifth over, bowled by Shabnim Ismail, which propelled Matthews to take charge. She hit ten fours and two sixes in her innings and stitched a match-saving stand of 108 runs with Rashada Williams for the second wicket, with the wicketkeeper contributing 36 runs from 23 balls. Ismail then struck twice in the 17th over to remove Williams and Laura Harris as Royals lost four wickets for five runs in 11 balls. Wellington then smashed ten runs in four balls to lift Royals at the end. Ismail added one more wicket to her tally to finish with 4 for 30.Devine was adjudged the Player of the Series for 253 runs and five wickets in five innings. Shreyanka, the uncapped Indian allrounder, ended the competition as the highest wicket-taker with nine scalps.

da aposte e ganhe： Estamos no dia 5 de janeiro de 2023 e o Palmeiras ainda não apresentou reforços para esta temporada. Por enquanto, as contratações parecem distantes de aparecer na Academia de Futebol. O que se vê no clube é a reafirmação no foco em jogadores da base. O objetivo fica claro quando observamos os atletas que se reapresentaram na última segunda-feira. Dos 30 que estão treinando, quatro foram recém-promovidos do sub-20 e serão os reforços do elenco para esta pré-temporada.

Boa parte da torcida alviverde tem cobrado a chegada de novos jogadores para o grupo de Abel Ferreira, especialmente quanto a um substituto para Gustavo Scarpa, principal destaque do time na campanha do Brasileirão 2022, que deixou o clube rumo ao Nottingham Forest-ING. Até aqui, porém, não há uma sinalização de que a diretoria do Verdão esteja em negociação com algum reforço.

da jogodeouro： Mas ninguém pode dizer que isso não foi avisado no ano passado. Em entrevistas, tanto o técnico Abel Ferreira quanto a presidente Leila Pereira deixaram claro que o elenco não precisaria de muitos reforços para 2023. Além disso, colocaram a base como a responsável por fornecer peças para o time principal por conta do trabalho que tem sido feito no últimos anos com títulos e joias.

-As pessoas, às vezes, sobretudo na internet, me perguntam por que temos que contratar. Não temos que contratar ninguém.E desde já digo: se contratarmos, serão dois ou três jogadores, não mais, somente e se contratarmos. Vamos valorizar a base. Nos criticam por não apostarmos na base, o que é mentira – disse Abel após vitória sobre o Avaí, em outubro de 2022.

-Vamos valorizar o que está sendo feito, vamos valorizar a Academia. Vamos fazer poucas mexidas, para não dizer nenhuma, porque valorizamos o trabalho que é feito no clube, não só pelo treinador, mas por todos. Esse é o futuro do clube – completou o treinador português.

Dos 30 jogadores que se apresentaram na Academia de Futebol na última segunda-feira, dez são formados na base do Palmeiras: Vinicius Silvestre (geração mais antiga das Crias), Danilo e Gabriel Menino, que já faziam parte do elenco há algumas temporadas, e Vanderlan, Endrick e Giovani, que foram promovidos para o time de cima ao longo de 2022. Além deles, Jhon Jhon, Garcia, Naves e Fabinho sobem ao profissional em 2023 de forma definitiva e também reforçam o grupo.

Esses nomes ainda podem ganhar a companhia de outras Crias da Academia que podem se destacar nos próximos meses. São os casos do goleiro Kaíque e do meia Luis Guilherme, que estão com a Seleção sub-20, além do meio-campista Pedro Lima e do atacante Estevão, que ainda tem 15 anos e disputam a Copa São Paulo deste ano como os principais jogadores da equipe.

يستعد نادي برشلونة لتوديع أحد لاعبيه المخضرمين والذي قدم موسماً مميزاً الموسم الماضي وساهم في حصول النادي على الثلاثية المحلية.

وتوصل النصر السعودي لاتفاق للتعاقد مع مدافع برشلونة المخضرم إينيجو مارتينيز الذي سيرحل عن صفوف البلوجرانا مجاناً.

وبحسب صحيفة “موندو ديبورتيفو” فقد غاب إينيجو مارتينيز عن تدريبات برشلونة المسائية بعد حضوره في التدريبات الصباحية بإذن من النادي.

ويعني خروج اللاعب توفير مساحة كبيرة في سلم الرواتب واللعب المالي النظيف، حيث سيوفر حوالي 12 مليون يورو، ويستعد مارتينيز للسفر إلى السعودية خلال ساعات.

ويعود سبب رحيله المجاني رغم تبقي عام في عقده إلى اتفاق شفهي سابق بين برشلونة واللاعب، بعد أن تلقى عرضاً مغريًا من الدوري السعودي الموسم الماضي.

وقد رفض إينيجو مارتينيز عرض السعودية، حيث عبر عن قناعته بمشروع هانز فليك لكنه اتفق مع إدارة النادي إذا وصله عرض جديد في صيف 2025 وأراد الرحيل، فإنه سيمنح كامل الحرية وسيحصل اللاعب على ضعف راتبه مع برشلونة.

ويدرك إينيجو مارتينيز أنه لم يعد قادراً على خوض 50 مباراة في الموسم على أعلى مستوى، ويرى برشلونة أن اللاعب كان دائماً صادقاً ومحترماً في تعاملاته ولهذا قرر تسهيل رحيله بدون مقابل.

Ben Stokes says England must shift up a gear to beat both Australia and the weather to keep their Ashes hopes alive with significant rain forecast throughout the fourth Test.After Australia won the first two matches, victory in the third Test at Headingley got England back into the series, with the squad arriving into Manchester buoyant they could square the series here to set up a decider at the Kia Oval next week.However, the persistent rain that greeted their arrival on Sunday will continue into the weekend. Showers of varying degrees are expected throughout all five days of the Test, which begins on Wednesday at Emirates Old Trafford.Related

As captain, Stokes has been reticent to pay too much attention to forecasts, though England do keep an eye on the radar in the changing room in case they need to shift their approach during play. With Australia able to retain the urn with a draw here, the onus is on Stokes to try and squeeze a result out of however much play is possible if England are to prolong their hopes of a first Ashes win since 2015.”You never want to look too much into the weather but in the position we find ourselves in we might have to,” Stokes admitted. “We know we have to win this game to take it to the last game for us to have a chance of getting the urn back.”Going into the last game we were 2-0 down and knew we had to win that, so think that helped us a bit and maybe again with the weather that’s predicted that it might bring more out of us again knowing we might have to push the game on even more than we normally do. But we’ll just have to wait and see. If the weather is what it’s predicted to be then we might have to.”While he stopped short of declaring England will be more attacking than normal, the speed of play throughout this series has been conducive to quick results. The third Test, for example, which the hosts won by three wickets, lasted 230.2 overs – essentially, under eight sessions of play, with the match concluding on day four through a combination of wet weather and slow over rates.Last summer, England were able to beat South Africa twice within three days. The first came in Manchester by an innings and 85 runs, before a nine-wicket win in the decider at the Kia Oval. No play took place on the first two days following the passing of Queen Elizabeth, with the match officially getting underway on day three.This is also not the first time Stokes has considered getting funky to combat unhelpful conditions. During the Pakistan series last December, he posited the idea of forfeiting an innings when it looked like early morning smog in Multan would reduce each day’s play of the second Test. Though it did not come to pass, it is something England could employ here provided they bat first for a sizeable score.Though Australia can play this match and the weather straight, Pat Cummins has stated they will begin this Test focussed on victory as they seek a first overseas Ashes series win since 2001.”The first preference is always to try to win,” Cummins said. “We drew the 2019 series and we’ve all come back pretty clear we want to win this one. I think it’s one of things, as the game progresses you maybe start working out how risky you want to be, but looking at the forecast it looks like it’s okay so sure we’ll get a match in.And while Australia do not need to engage with anything England try and concoct, Cummins is excited to see what Stokes has in store.”It would be fun. Prepared for anything, really. We’ll see how it plays out. We have already seen a lot of different things from both teams this series. I’m sure this one will be another cracker with some random stuff thrown up.”

The England captain was finally able to learn what lifting silverware feels like, but it proved to be a tough weekend for some of his fellow expats

Saturday May 10, 2025: The day Harry Kane was finally able to loft a trophy above his head. The England captain and his Bayern Munich team-mates enjoyed celebrating regaining what they believe is rightfully theirs over the weekend, though Kane (and Eric Dier) might not be alone among the British stars who ply their trade abroad in earning silverware before the season is out.

A host of English and Scottish players find themselves in title fights that look likely to go down to the wire, while others are looking to earn themselves European qualification for the 2025-26 campaign. Some also have cup finals to look forward to after what has been a memorable season for many Brits who have opted to move overseas in recent years.

So how did our Brits abroad fare over the weekend? GOAL has the lowdown on the biggest stories…

Getty Images SportBeer showers for Kane

It is tradition that the Bundesliga champions spend much of their title celebrations drenching one another in beer, and Bayern's festivities were no different on Saturday as they first saw off Borussia Monchengladbach before getting to the real important stuff and began throwing alcohol around the Allianz Arena. Having seen his trophy curse lifted last week, Kane threw himself into the party atmosphere, earning himself a "wet and freezing" shower in the process.

For what it's worth, it should be noted that Kane took his Bundesliga goal tally for the season to 25 as he opened the scoring against Gladbach with a flicked header that diverted Michael Olise's shot into the back of the net, and he will be hoping to add to that on the final day of the campaign at Hoffenheim next week. For now, though, the Tottenham icon can be forgiven a day or two off to recover from a well-earned blowout.

AdvertisementGetty Images SportBellingham loses control of El Clasico

Last season, Jude Bellingham was the king of El Clasico. The England midfielder scored three goals across Real Madrid's two La Liga meetings with Barcelona, including stoppage-time winners in both games. This season, though, the story has been different.

Sunday's 4-3 win for Barca was their fourth victory out of four against their great rivals in 2024-25, as the Blaugrana also took their tally of goals for the year against Los Blancos to 16 while stretching their lead at the top of La Liga to seven points with just three games left to play. Kylian Mbappe's hat-trick kept the scoreline close, but Carlo Ancelotti's side were again largely outclassed by the champions-elect.

For Bellingham, it proved a day to forget, as he was largely bypassed in midfield due to most of Madrid's counter-attacks coming via wide areas. He completed just 24 passes in the whole game, while singled Bellingham out for being "completely out of control and unable to participate in possession." Fellow Spanish newspaper were even harsher with their analysis, as they wrote that the ex-Borussia Dortmund star "gave the impression that he'd given up physically and mentally".

It was reported last week that Bellingham will finally undergo shoulder surgery this summer to rectify the injury issue that has seemingly limited him for much of the campaign. If Sunday's performance was anything to go by, that can't come a moment too soon.

Getty Images SportAssist-king McTominay suffers Scudetto setback

Another week, another Player of the Match award for Scott McTominay. The Scotland international was again singled out as the outstanding performer for Napoli on Sunday, but his display wasn't enough to secure a fifth-successive victory for Antonio Conte's side as they were held to a 2-2 draw by Genoa.

Having scored five goals across those previous four wins, former Manchester United midfielder McTominay tried his hand at assisting this time around, and did so with devastating effect as he twice played excellent passes into the penalty area from which Romelu Lukaku and Giacomo Raspadori were able to score. However, Genoa twice pegged the Serie A leaders back, meaning Napoli now sit just one point clear of Inter at the summit with two games left to play.

McTominay, who was hailed by for showing "flashes of genius" during Sunday's game, was keen to stress the importance of keeping a clear head through the final fortnight as he told at full-time: "We have to stay calm, this is not the time to panic… It's important to stay calm, keep doing what we're doing, then see where the end of the season gets us."

Greenwood guides OM to the Champions League

Mason Greenwood has had an up-and-down first season at Marseille. Having started the season in electric fashion, the England international was then singled out by manager Roberto De Zerbi for blame as the club suffered a mid-season slump in form. However, things seem to have been patched up between Greenwood and his Italian coach, and on Saturday they were both able to celebrate as OM secured their return to the Champions League after two seasons outside of Europe's premier club competition.

Greenwood was the man who made it happen, too. With five minutes left against relegation-threatened Le Havre, Marseille were being held to a 1-1 draw, only for the ex-Manchester United forward to cut inside onto his left foot and unleash a shot from 20 yards that arrowed into the bottom corner. Amine Gouiri then added some gloss to the scoreline in stoppage time, but it was Greenwood's goal that had secured a spot in Ligue 1's top four.

Marseille will now be looking to secure second place behind Paris Saint-Germain when they host Rennes on the final day of the season this coming Saturday, while Greenwood's 19th goal of the season leaves him two behind Ligue 1 top scorer Ousmane Dembele in the race for the Golden Boot.

  Gallas told : "In the Premier League, Arsenal are my flops of the season. If you compare last season and the one two years ago with this season, their performance has not been good at all.
