      Timber, 21, has won two Eredivisie titles and a Dutch FA Cup in the past two seasons with Ajax.

      But Anfield boss Jurgen Klopp has set his sights on the Utrecht-born ace – and Timber is tempted by the potential move, says Voetbal.

      “He is also very preoccupied with it, so he will probably make a quick departure.”
      Ex-Ajax and Everton winger Andy van der Meyde said: “You can sometimes see now when he’s on the pitch that he is thinking: ‘If only I’d left sooner!’ ”
      And Holland great Wesley Sneijder added: “Timber is a bright lad, and a genuinely good defender.”
      However ex-Real Madrid playmaker Sneijder warned: “He will lose every aerial battle against the ‘wardrobes’ in the Premier League.
      “That will be his downfall. Manchester United’s Lisandro Martinez is also short, but he comes out on top everywhere.”
      Timber has won 15 caps, and helped Holland reach the World Cup quarter-finals last December. More

      Ronaldo also won countless trophies for United, Real Madrid and Juventus.
      The best ever XI of his team-mates, according to Goal Arabia, is made up of players from those sides, with no one from his current team of Al-Nassr nor his first team of Sporting Lisbon making the cut.
      Instead there are three players from the Red Devils – but the trio all only featured in his first spell at Old Trafford between 2003 to 2009.
      Wayne Rooney, Paul Scholes and Rio Ferdinand all made it into the team.

      Along with Ronaldo, those three were among the most important stars in Sir Alex Ferguson’s dominant late noughties side who won three Premier League titles in a row and the 2008 Champions League.

      Ronaldo left for Real Madrid in 2009 and the bulk of the selection comes from his nine years at the Bernabeu.
      Club legends Iker Casillas, Sergio Ramos, Luka Modric, Marcelo and Karim Benzema are in with Toni Kroos and Gareth Bale.
      The Portuguese international won four Champions Leagues and two league titles while in Spain.

      He then left for Juventus and played alongside the final player who makes it into Goal’s line-up.
      The star in question is Juve legend Giorgio Chiellini, who played for the club for 18 years including four alongside Ronaldo.
      The forward won two Serie A titles before heading back to Old Trafford for his ill-fated second spell.

      No English club has been able to repeat that feat since, but the now Sky Sports pundit believes Pep Guardiola’s team are “far too close for comfort” to pulling off the same this term.
      And Neville also insisted that it “is definitely on” as the Cityzens head to Bayern Munich with a 3-0 lead for the Champions League quarter final second-leg on Wednesday.
      Speaking on the Gary Neville Podcast on Sky Sports, he said: “They’re purring, they’re playing well, they’re in great form, they’re serious now about it.”
      City beat Leicester 3-1 on Saturday and have closed the gap to just four points on top-flight leaders Arsenal, who they still have to play at home, to four points and have a game in hand.

      Neville hailed the recent displays of trio of Rodri, Ilkay Gundogan and Kevin De Bruyne and called them the “best midfield in the league” as well as praising the performances of attackers Erling Haaland, Jack Grealish and Riyad Mahrez.  
      He added: “They’re settled now – they’re hitting the home straight.
      “The treble was mentioned in the studio […] it’s definitely on. They can do the treble.
      “They can win the European Cup, they can win the FA Cup, they can win the Premier League.

      “There’s a long way to go [and] they could come up against a team that does them on the way. But they’re very, very close to it. Far too close for comfort!”
      Should City see off Bayern then they will face the winners of Chelsea and Real Madrid, who hold a 2-0 first-leg lead over the Blues, in the Champions League semi-finals.
      And they will be at Wembley this Saturday to face Championship promotion contenders Sheffield United in the FA Cup semi-final, with United and BRighton contesting the other one the following day. More

      The attacker rejected a chance to reunite with David Moyes and West Ham, where he had a fruitful loan spell at the end of 2022, in favour of a move to Forest.
      The move has not gone to plan, as he finds himself on the fringes of the matchday squad, having only made 17 appearances in the Premier League this season.
      Lingard, 30, has failed to score in the league for Steve Cooper’s side, but has netted twice and assisted twice in three EFL Cup appearances.
      He will be a free agent in the summer as his contract expires, but he will reportedly not be short of offers.

      According to the Daily Mail, Turkish giants Fenerbahce and clubs from the Middle East would be willing to hand the former Red Devil a contract.
      The report has also suggested that relegation-threatened Leicester are “showing tentative interest” ahead of a summer swoop.
      Although it is said that the Foxes will likely focus on a move for Lens star Lois Openda instead.
      If Lingard were to favour a move to Turkey, he would be following in the footsteps of Dele Alli and Nathan Redmond.

      Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp reportedly made Mac Allister his top transfer target last week after the Reds pulled out of the race to sign Borussia Dortmund and England midfielder Jude Bellingham.
      Dortmund have set an asking price of £130million for Bellingham which has been deemed far too expensive by Liverpool officials.
      Instead, they have turned their attention to Mac Allister, who is expected to cost around £80m.
      However, several other clubs including Man Utd, Chelsea, Man City and Arsenal have also expressed an interest in signing him so a bidding war could ensue.

      Mac Allister’s father, Carlos, recently revealed that the midfielder will likely seek a move away at the end of the season.
      He said: “Normally, the upcoming transfer market will find him playing for another club, we don’t know which one yet as the talks are starting.

      “It’s very likely that Alexis will be playing in another team in the summer.”
      Mac Allister joined Brighton from South American side Argentinos Juniors for £7million in 2019 on a four-and-a-half-year deal.
      He agreed a 12-month contract extension in October, meaning his current deal expires in June 2025.
      Brighton also have the option of extending his contract for another year. More
