According to a recent report from The Athletic, Manchester City are preparing to offer a new deal to Erling Haaland.
The youngster’s initial contract contained a clause that would have allowed him to leave for £150 million in summer 2024. However, the clause was linked to Pep Guardiola’s future with City, and was therefore cancelled after Pep renewed his deal to last until 2025.
It’s not exactly a secret to say that this has been an incredible campaign for Erling Haaland. The 22-year-old is closing in on 50 goals for the campaign, and the frightening thing is that he still seems to be quite a few years away from his prime.
Manchester City likely aren t going to let him go for an easy amount, especially given that they ve only scratched the surface of what…
Manuel Locatelli saluted phenomenon Angel Di Maria, stating his Juventus team-mate is in another category after their narrow win over Freiburg.

John Madejski has confirmed that Anton Zingarevich has left Reading s board as the club continue to search for a new owner.
Russian billionaire Zingarevich took over Reading in May 2012, purchasing a 51 percent stake in the club from Madejski.

Brazil forward Hulk believes that no one can match head coach Luiz Felipe Scolari when it comes to creating a strong team ethic.
Scolari was the man in charge when Brazil last tasted FIFA World Cup success in 2002, and is charged with the task of delivering glory on home soil when the 2014 instalment begins later this month.
Brazil had slipped to as low as 22nd in the FIFA World rankings 12 months ago, but they later triumphed at the FIFA Confederations Cup and have since climbed back to a current standing of fourth.

Speaking to FIFA.com he said: It s not so much about what he says, I think it s more down to the way he is.
He welcomes the players in such a way that it makes eve…

Tottenham midfielder Yves Bissouma is enjoying playing for Antonio Conte, describing the Italian as crazy, like me .

Romelu Lukaku will hit 30 goals in all competitions for Manchester United this season and justify his large price tag, according to Dwight Yorke.
United paid a reported £75million to sign the Belgium international from Everton last July and he has so far struck 17 times in his first campaign for the club.
Lukaku has hit the net in successive appearances to start 2018 in fine form and Yorke who won three Premier League titles and the Champions League at Old Trafford believes criticism of the 24-year-old s performances has been unfair.
I think he has done really well, Yorke told Omnisport. Sometimes people can be unfair in terms of the numbers and the consistency but that is often enough when you go for a huge price tag and play for the likes of Manchester United…
Sampdoria have added fuel to speculations linking hotshot Mauro Icardi with a summer exit from Marassi by admitting the player could be sold next summer.
