Football transfer rumours: Barcelona eye Manchester City's Gabriel Jesus?

Today’s fluff is on the streets of Barcelona

With Luis Suárez about to be unceremoniously shown the door at the Nou Camp, in a state of affairs that is believed to be one of many reasons behind his best pal Leo Messi’s decision to hand in a transfer request, Manchester City striker Gabriel Jesus has been identified as a potential replacement by Barcelona for the Uruguayan striker. Manchester United and Paris Saint-Germain are both reported to be interested in signing Messi, although Manchester City are reported to be in the box-seat with one tabloid reporting the player’s father is already in talks with the club. In the increasingly likely event of Messi’s departure from the club he has served for 20 years, it remains to be seen who will be given the unenviable and frankly impossible task of filling his Adidas Nemeziz 19.1s.

By his own lofty standards N’Golo Kanté had a fairly underwhelming season punctuated by injury at Chelsea but that hasn’t put off Internazionale, whose policy of rehoming Premier League stars has enjoyed more than a modicum of success. The Serie A side need to offload another high profile player before they can bring him in and Lautaro Martinez, Milan Skriniar and Marcelo Brozovic are among those they would consider letting go to help fund the deal.

Club’s supporters’ minds will start to wander to potential trips next season after long-awaited return to Champions League The roar at kick-off, the roar that had been there in most of the previous 18 home games of this season, was maybe given a few extra decibels here. Added to renewed hope, present all season, was a touch of yes, this really is happening. Then came the moment, with fireworks being wedged into the tops of milk bottles, at the beginning of stoppage time, when Nick Pope was finally forced into some sort of movement to deny Timothy Castagne, to make sure it did happen. It came after one of the Newcastle keeper’s slowest days of the season, after what had often resembled a half-pitch, beat-the-packed-defence training exercise against a Leicester team largely too meek to threaten Geordie dreams.

Richarlison’s first Tottenham goals punish Marseille for Mbemba’s red card

By -
There was the obligatory pre-match footage of Lucas Moura’s winner at Ajax and then the declaration on the big screen at Tottenham’s magnificent stadium, one that is built to stage these kind of Champions League nights. “We’re back.” For so long, it appeared that the grand return after a two-season absence would fall flat, even when Marseille were reduced to ten men in the 47th minute following Chancel Mbemba’s last-man foul on Son Heung-min. It was a dreadful misjudgment by the former Newcastle centre-half.
