Man Utd preparing stunning £67m offer to sign "incredible" ace Amorim likes

With those at Old Trafford aiming to transform Ruben Amorim’s struggling side, Manchester United are reportedly preparing an offer worth as much as £67m to sign one particular La Liga star.

Man Utd transfer news

It’s been a nightmare few months for the Red Devils both on and off the pitch. Away from the action, Sir Jim Ratcliffe and INEOS continue to rule with an iron fist, making further redundancies recently and extending their cost-cutting measures to more and more extreme lengths. Meanwhile, as those redundancies take place, it’s those on the pitch who are continuing to fail.

Amorim’s side sit in the depths of the Premier League’s bottom half with just five wins in 16 league games in the four months of the 40-year-old’s reign. And as money continues to be the talking point at Old Trafford, it remains to be seen whether Manchester United can even afford the extensive rebuild they so desperately need to suit Amorim’s system.

That hasn’t stopped the rumours from coming thick and fast though. According to reports in Spain, Manchester United are now preparing an offer worth €80m (£67m) to sign Marc Casado from Barcelona this summer.

Whilst the La Liga giants are not overly keen on selling their midfielder anytime soon, their own financial concerns may well tempt them into accepting such a hefty offer this summer.

It’s been a nightmare four months…

ByTom Cunningham Mar 5, 2025

Given that Amorim reportedly likes the young Spaniard, Casado could be one to watch when the transfer window swings open this summer.

"Incredible" Casado could partner Mainoo

Whether it’s been Bruno Fernandes and Manuel Ugarte or Casemiro dropping in as well as Kobbie Mainoo, one problem area that Manchester United have is at the base of their midfield in Amorim’s 3-4-2-1 system. The double pivot has simply lacked consistent faces to form a partnership and it could be argued that Fernandes should be in one of the advanced roles rather than sitting deep, taking him out of the equation.

What’s left after the captain steps forward is a combination formed between Mainoo, Ugarte and Casemiro. And whilst the natural choice should be Mainoo and Ugarte given how Casemiro has fallen away from his best form in the last two seasons, injury problems mean that the Red Devils could do with an added option. That’s where Casado could come in.

At just 21 years old, the midfielder could partner Mainoo for years to come at Old Trafford and end any doubts at the heart of Amorim’s system.

The La Masia graduate has taken full advantage of his opportunities in the current campaign, even scoring once and assisting an impressive six times to earn the praise of Jacek Kulig. The football talent scout dubbed his season “incredible” back in October.

ANÁLISE: Sem esboçar reação, Corinthians foi engolido pelo Flamengo e poderia ter sido goleado

MatériaMais Notícias

Futebol é detalhe, e os pormenores na Neo Química Arena mudaram o rumo de uma partida que começou equilibrada, mas terminou com um claro e incontestável vencedor. Ao ser derrotado por 2 a 0 para o Flamengo, o Corinthians se complicou na Libertadores.

+ GALERIA – Zaga vacila em derrota do Timão na Libertadores; veja notas

A história do jogo começou antes da bola rolar, com a decisão da diretoria alvinegra em aumentar o espaço para os flamenguistas em troca da mesma proporção de ingressos aos corintianos no Maracanã. Ao fazer isso, o clube desprezou o ‘fator casa’ e deixou a torcida adversária em sintonia com o time.

Mesmo assim, a Fiel deu um bonito show em Itaquera, cantando do começo ao fim e abafando a presença dos rubro-negros no estádio. No entanto, o time alvinegro não conseguiu seguir o ritmo das arquibancadas.

Apesar da derrota, o Timão começou a partida adiantando suas linhas de marcação e pressionando no campo de ataque. O Flamengo, que errava muitos passes, quase tomou o primeiro gol após boa recuperação de Maycon, que tocou para Yuri Alberto. O camisa 7 achou Mosquito na esquerda, que parou em defesa de Santos.

O camisa 5 corintiano, que fazia uma partida promissora, teve que sair aos 19 minutos após uma pancada no tornozelo com Thiago Maia. Vítor Pereira optou pela entrada de Fausto Vera.

Com o passar do tempo, o Corinthians deu campo para o adversário, mas a equipe da casa estava bem postada na defesa, e o time de Dorival Jr não conseguia furar o bloqueio. Porém, a estratégia de Vítor Pereira caiu por terra quando a defesa corintiana se preocupou mais em reclamar com o árbitro do que marcar Arrascaeta, que acertou belo chute e marcou um lindo gol.

+ TABELA – Timão ou Flamengo? Simule o mata-mata da Libertadores

Após o intervalo, o treinador corintiano fez as leituras certas e colocou Róger Guedes e Giuliano em campo. O camisa 9 foi um dos melhores da equipe no jogo, enquanto o meia, mais uma vez, deixou a desejar na criação.

Contudo, outro problema se criou com as mudanças no segundo tempo. Yuri Alberto, que participava bem da partida saindo da área e ajudando nas tabelas, foi deslocado para o lado esquerdo e acabou sumindo do jogo.

Sem conseguir incomodar o Flamengo, a equipe carioca não precisou colocar o pé no acelerador para ampliar a vantagem. Rodinei fez boa jogada pela direita, contou com o escorregão de Balbuena, e Gabigol mandou no cantinho de Cássio.

O gol do artilheiro flamenguista caiu como ducha de água fria para o Corinthians, que precisava escalar um Everest para se recolocar na partida.

Se em um lado entraram Vidal e Cebolinha, Vítor Pereira se viu obrigado a colocar Giovane e Roni, únicas opções viáveis no banco de reservas para os respectivos setores.

O treinador e o time sentiram as ausências de Renato Augusto e Willian, jogadores tecnicamente diferenciados, capazes de mudar a partida em uma jogada ou toque na bola. Mesmo com um elenco estrelado, faltou ao Time do Povo alguém que colocasse a bola debaixo do braço e tirasse um gol da cartola, como Arrascaeta fez no primeiro tempo.

Aproveitando o momento de impotência do Timão, o Flamengo foi para cima, e só não conseguiu uma goleada em Itaquera porque Cássio foi gigante e impediu dois gols flamenguistas.

Novamente, a equipe de Vítor Pereira não teve repertório ofensivo para competir com um time do mesmo calibre. O Corinthians vai para o Maracanã fragilizado e desacreditado, mas o prejuízo poderia ser maior, e o clube precisará do ‘jogo perfeito’ para sair classificado.

Rain limits Essex's chance to put pressure on champions

Only 6.4 overs possible as hosts extend lead to 98 with all ten wickets standing

ECB Reporters Network06-May-2023

Essex and Surrey were left frustrated at rain-swept Chelmsford where only 6.4 overs were possible across two brief spells on day three.Essex have now lost an accumulated 458 overs to the weather in their first four LV= Insurance County Championship rounds – the equivalent of an entire four-day match.There were two interruptions inside the first half-an-hour, the second of which proved terminal. Just nine runs were added in the 22 minutes possible, though play was not officially called off until 4.23pm. The forecast, however, is more promising for the final day, with Essex pushing to inflict a first defeat of the season on the champions.Play had started promptly at 11am as Essex looked to extend their 76-run first-innings lead after dismissing Surrey for 240 at the end of the second day. Nick Browne turned the first ball from Kemar Roach to third man for three runs, then Alastair Cook saw out the next four balls before the players headed back to the pavilion as the first shower struck.They were back six minutes later for a longer stint during which the Essex openers added a further six runs – Cook crashing a wide delivery from Gus Atkinson through the covers for four – taking them to 24 without loss, a lead of 98 runs.However, the first-wicket partnership did not survive without alarm. Roach, who had bowled well without reward in the first innings, beat the outside of Browne’s bat on several occasion, while a mid-pitch mix-up between the pair could have resulted in a run-out with a more accurate throw.

Berta "will try" to sign £160k-per-week star amid new Arsenal transfer plan

Arsenal sporting director Andrea Berta is set to attempt a major summer signing for Mikel Arteta this summer, as the Gunners hatch an ambitious new transfer plan ahead of another potential Premier League title challenge next season.

Arsenal through to Champions League quarter-finals

The north Londoners are throwing all of their eggs in the Champions League basket, with Europe coming as their only chance to win a major piece of silverware before the end of the campaign.

Arsenal cruised through to the Champions League quarter-finals after beating PSV Eindhoven 9-3 on aggregate over the course of their two-legged Champions League last 16 tie, with Arteta’s side set to take on Real Madrid in the next round.

The Gunners boss praised just how atmospheric the Emirates Stadium was on Wednesday evening, despite the tie being a foregone conclusion, and Arteta will be hoping for more of the same when Carlo Ancelotti and co make the trip to north London.

“They told us that with the result that we had from the first leg that it wasn’t going to be full,” said Arteta on the crowd during their 2-2 draw with PSV.

“But there we had to continue and do the work in the manner that we wanted to finish the competition. Unfortunately, we haven’t managed to win the game, but we decided to make a lot of rotation as well. You could see in the second half that we were tired, we were late to be much more dominant in the opposition half and much more consistent, especially when we didn’t have the ball. But overall, I’m very happy because we have the second consecutive season in the Champions League quarter-finals. We’re going to travel to Madrid, but unfortunately, we don’t know who against yet.”

Ahead of their clash with PSV, major off-field news came to light that ex-Atletico Madrid director Berta was set to join Arsenal as Edu Gaspar’s replacement. The transfer chief comes to Arsenal with a stellar reputation, having enjoyed 12 successful years at the Wanda Metropolitano before departing in January.

Since his appointment, there has been much speculation over who the 53-year-old could look to sign for Arteta this summer.

Reports suggest that Berta is keen on striking a deal for Wolves forward Matheus Cunha, but the official also wants to seriously reinforce Arteta’s engine room.

Berta "will try" to sign Newcastle midfielder Bruno Guimaraes for Arsenal

According to journalist Eduardo Burgos, writing on social media, Arsenal have a new plan to make Arteta’s midfield “the strongest” in England.

As a result, £160,000-per-week Newcastle United star Bruno Guimaraes has emerged as a serious target for them.

Bruno Guimaraes celebrates for Newcastle

Indeed, it is believed that Berta “will try” to sign Guimaraes for Arsenal this summer, alongside Real Sociedad’s Martin Zubimendi, who’s been heavily linked since January.

The Brazilian, who’s bagged eight assists from midfield in all competitions, is a highly creative and crucial mainstay starter for Eddie Howe, not to mention the Magpies captain, so his signing would be a hugely ambitious one from Berta.

The interest in Guimaraes is obvious, considering his midfield versatility and dynamism, but Newcastle certainly won’t let him go without a fight, amid claims that Arsenal also want his high-flying teammate Alexander Isak.

Após chegada de João Burse, Vitória passa do rebaixamento a classificação na Série C

MatériaMais Notícias

Há quase dois meses no comando do Vitória, João Burse chegou ao clube de Salvador com uma difícil missão: salvar a equipe do rebaixamento.Sendo essa, aliás, a segunda vez que o técnico assumia o time principal do Vitória já que, em 2018, ainda na Série A, comandou de forma interina em duas ocasiões.

Vindo do Cianorte após mais de dois anos de trabalho no futebol paranaense, o treinador não apenas afastou o time baiano do Z4 como também conseguiu um até então improvável avanço para a próxima fase da Série C.

A classificação se concretizou depois que o Leão da Barra venceu o Brasil de Pelotas por 3 a 1, no último sábado (13), em meio a uma bela festa feita pelo torcedor nas arquibancadas do Barradão. Com direito, inclusive, a presença junto da galera do zagueiro Leo Gomes, que estava suspenso.

O time iniciou a temporada com uma sequência de três derrotas, mantendo um desempenho irregular até a 11ª rodada quando Burse chegou. Contrariando as estatísticas que apontavam 51,6% de chance de rebaixamento e apenas 2,6% de avançar na competição, o treinador conseguiu acumular pontos e fazer o time chegar ao G8 da Série C, levando à classificação para a próxima fase da competição com a sequência de cinco vitórias e três empates em oito compromissos disputados.

– Foi um grande desafio que deu certo. Cheguei ao time com objetivos, tive todo um planejamento com meu staff e a empresa que gere a minha carreira. Junto do clube, sentamos e traçamos as metas, projetamos nosso trabalho para conquistar esse avanço para a próxima fase. Estou muito orgulhoso do desempenho da equipe, somos um grupo muito unido e trabalhador, não à toa chegamos a esses oito jogos de invencibilidade – disse o técnico, completando:

– Este foi um trabalho em conjunto, eu não fiz nada sozinho e se não fosse a entrega de cada um, nada disso teria acontecido. Todos os atletas abraçaram esse novo planejamento. Sabemos que com um passo de cada vez podemos ir mais longe e restabelecer o Vitória na elite do futebol brasileiro.

Na estreia do Vitória pela segunda fase da competição nacional, o time baiano joga novamente em casa, no próximo domingo (16), recebendo o Paysandu, às 16h (de Brasília).

Moeen Ali considering Test comeback after England Ashes call

Spinner approached about coming out of retirement following Jack Leach injury

Moeen Ali is considering a return to Test cricket for the Ashes.The offspinning allrounder, who retired from the format at the end of the 2021 summer, confirmed to ESPNcricinfo that he has been approached by the England management to answer a mayday call after Jack Leach was ruled out of the five-match series with a back stress fracture.Moeen, 35, has amassed 67 Test caps, scoring 2914 runs and taking 195 wickets at an average of 36.66. His decision to step away from the format came with a view to focusing solely on limited-overs cricket, believing his race had been run in long-form cricket, partly because of issues with his spinning finger. His final Test, against India at the Oval in September 2021, was also his last first-class match.Related

Leach ruled out of Ashes with back stress fracture

Since then, he has helped England win the 2022 T20 World Cup and secured a second IPL title with Chennai Super Kings earlier this year. He has also returned to his home county, Warwickshire, from Worcestershire, and is currently captaining their T20 side, Birmingham Bears, in the Vitality Blast. He is also due to undertake media duties for the Ashes.Replacing Leach would be no mean feat. The Somerset spinner has played all 13 Tests under Ben Stokes and Brendon McCullum, with 45 dismissals – no Englishman has more – and sending down 515.1 overs, more than any other bowler in the world in that time.Following the 10-wicket win over Ireland at Lord’s England will only meet up for training for the first Test at Edgbaston a week on Tuesday, after a team-bonding trip to Loch Lomond this weekend. As such, a decision on Leach’s replacement does not need to be made imminently.Moeen does not have a great record against Australia, with 20 dismissals across 11 matches at an unflattering average of 64.65. That is a little better at home (47.86) with 15 wickets in six Tests, 12 of those coming in 2015 during England’s last successful Ashes campaign. He was dropped after the first Test of the 2019 series.Speaking to ESPNcricinfo during the IPL, Moeen said he believed his bowling was returning to something close to his best after falling away since his Test retirement. He took nine wickets at 21.66 during the tournament.”I actually feel like there’s things I’ve been missing over the last couple of years,” he said. “I’ve just started to get it back again: a bit of rhythm in my action.”When I was playing Test matches, I always felt like I was bowling well in white-ball cricket. You can kind of lose that rhythm, I guess. I think I’ve got to have that mindset of still bowling with that same energy as I would have done in Test matches.”Moeen spent two months alongside Stokes at CSK•BCCI

Speaking on Monday, Stuart Broad championed Moeen’s qualities, regarding him as an ideal fit for the current regime. “We know Mo is a phenomenal cricketer and someone who would fit into Stokes and Baz’s philosophy beautifully,” Broad told Sky Sports. “I don’t know if he’s being considered by the selectors or if he would consider red-ball cricket again. But he’s a mighty fine cricketer.”McCullum had approached Moeen to come out of retirement last summer, with a view to touring Pakistan in December. That was eventually turned down with Moeen citing an already packed winter schedule with the T20 World Cup and ILT20 commitments with Sharjah Warriors at the start of 2023. At the time, McCullum did not regard Moeen’s lack of red-ball cricket as a barrier for his inclusion.If Moeen turns down the offer this time, consideration will be made to other spinning allrounders in Will Jacks, Rehan Ahmed – who both took five-wicket hauls in Pakistan – and Liam Livingstone, who left that tour after sustaining a knee injury in the first Test. Hampshire’s Liam Dawson, a left-arm spinner and accomplished batter, is also an outside shot.Alastair Cook sees Liam Dawson as the “like-for-like” option to replace Leach•Getty Images

“The like-for-like is Liam Dawson,” Alastair Cook, the former England captain, said on BBC Radio 5 Live. “He could do exactly the same as Jack Leach [but] he’s a better batsman… but it’s the conservative option, it’s the bloke who could hold an end up and won’t let anyone down. His bowling has got a lot better over the last few years, but that just seems very unlike Ben Stokes and Brendon McCullum to take the safe option, the conservative option.”I would probably go for Dawson for that role… but I think England will take the more aggressive. They’re trying to get Moeen. It’s a tough one for Mo because he won’t want to let Ben Stokes down. He’s really close with him. But it’s a big ask. When you know what Test cricket – and certainly an Ashes – can do to you mentally, you’ve got to really want to be out there in the battle.”Obviously in the last few years, he kind of felt like he’d done his time in Test cricket. It’s whether a bit of time away has changed that. It’s easy saying yes over a phone call but actually, when the pressure gets on, do you really want to be there?”

The next Henry: Arsenal start talks to sign "one of the best CFs" for £70m

When Andrea Berta officially starts his role as Arsenal’s new sporting director, the pressure will be on immediately to deliver a successful transfer window.

The last couple of windows have been a bit of a disaster for the Gunners, failing to sign anyone in the winter and bringing in the likes of Riccardo Calafiori and Mikel Merino last summer.

Merino has performed admirably as a centre-forward in the absence of Kai Havertz through injury while Calafiori clearly has plenty of potential, just can’t stay off the treatment table.

There has been an alarming lack of a striker and that’s where Berta’s primary focus must be when the market opens in June.

Arsenal's hunt for a new striker

Last summer the Gunners allegedly looked at bringing RB Leipzig centre-forward Benjamin Sesko to the Emirates Stadium but failed in their endeavours when the Slovenian signed a new contract with the Bundesliga club.

Reports have suggested he will choose Arsenal if he decides to depart Germany this summer but who are the alternatives for Berta and Co?

Alex Isak is the biggest talking point but is unlikely to depart given Newcastle’s £150m asking price. Matheus Cunha of Wolves has been linked in recent weeks and Victor Osimhen is another name touted with a switch to English football.

Transfer Focus

Mega money deals, controversial moves and big-name flops. This is the home of transfer news and opinion across Football FanCast.

In this instance, however, it’s Hugo Ekitike. That comes courtesy of a report from journalist Graeme Bailey who reported on Thursday that Arsenal have begun talks to sign the French striker from Frankfurt this summer.

Frankfurt have only just lost Omar Marmoush to Manchester City but could have another highly-rated forward stolen away from them.

The report states that ‘Arsenal have asked to be kept informed’ about Ekitike’s situation in Germany having already held ‘preliminary discussions to sign the striker’.

Valued at around £70m, Liverpool and Aston Villa have also asked to be kept up to date with the player’s availability heading into the next transfer window.

Huge Ekitike: How he compares to Thierry Henry

Whoever the leading centre-forward at Arsenal is, they’re always going to get compared to the great Thierry Henry.

The French superstar departed the Emirates as the club’s all-time leading goalscorer having found the net on 228 occasions in Arsenal colours.

Since then, it’s been a case of trial and error. Robin van Persie, a multiple Premier League Golden Boot winner, lit up north London, Alexis Sanchez did similar and Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang also ended one campaign as the Premier League’s top marksman.

However, for every Van Persie and Sanchez, there has been a Marouane Chamakh, a laboured Alexandre Lacazette and an injury-prone Gabriel Jesus.

Jesus and Havertz are currently out for the season, only heightening the need for a new striker and they could find just the man they’re looking for in Ekitike.

Hugo Ekitike for Frankfurt.

The scorer of 19 goals in 38 games this term, the French sensation has notably been described as “the next Kylian Mbappe” by the aforementioned Bailey while scout Jacek Kulig has suggested that the 22-year-old’s most similar player is Henry. Not bad company to be alongside, is it?

So, why the comparisons? Well, said to be “one of the best strikers out there” by data analyst Ben Mattinson, he’s got pace, power, incredible movement and, importantly, he knows where the back of the net is.

There have been few better strikers in Europe this term at stretching a defence and outsmarting them with their movement but the young French star is certainly right up there.

To rubberstamp those similarities to Henry, he ranks in the top 9% of strikers in Europe’s top five leagues for progressive carries and the best 4% for successful take-ons. Ekitike also ranks among the best 15% of strikers for assists.

Like the great World Cup winner, he doesn’t just score goals but he carries the ball and creates openings not just for himself but for his teammates too. He looks like the perfect all-round package.

A great deal cheaper than Isak, Berta would be getting a similar player here without the drama of a totally ridiculous transfer fee. A win-win?

ديمبلي بعد العودة: كنت بحاجة للراحة قبل المباريات الحاسمة في مونديال الأندية

تحدث الفرنسي عثمان ديمبلي لاعب فريق باريس سان جيرمان عن عودته للمشاركة واللعب، بعد غياب بسبب الإصابة.

وشارك ديمبلي بديلاً في فوز باريس سان جيرمان على إنتر ميامي ببطولة كأس العالم للأندية 2025، مساء السبت.

وقال ديمبلي في تصريحاته إلى “DAZN”: “أردت أن أستعيد إيقاع اللعب، لم ألعب لمدة ثلاثة أسابيع، وهذا أفادني كثيرًا”.

وأضاف: “بعد الإصابة التي تعرضت لها في دوري الأمم الأوروبية (في الفخذ الأيسر خلال خسارة نصف النهائي أمام إسبانيا بنتيجة 4-5)، أخبرت الجهاز الفني أنني أريد أن آخذ وقتي لأستعيد لياقتي”.

وأتم: “رغم أنها لم تكن إصابة خطيرة، كان من الجيد أن آخذ قسطًا من الراحة قبل المباريات المهمة التي على وشك أن تبدأ”.

وأصيب ديمبلي مع منتخب بلاده فرنسا خلال المشاركة بدوري الأمم الأوروبية، وهو ما أسفر عن غيابه عن مباريات باريس سان جيرمان الثلاثة بدور المجموعات في مونديال الأندية.

وتغلب باريس سان جيرمان على إنتر ميامي بنتيجة 4-0 ليتأهل للدور ربع النهائي لكأس العالم للأندية.

وينتظر باريس سان جيرمان الفائز من مباراة بايرن ميونخ وفلامينجو، لمواجهته في ربع النهائي.
