      by

      NEWCASTLE are reportedly weighing up a January swoop for Juventus midfielder Adrien Rabiot which could see Donny van de Beek make the move to Turin.The Magpies are set to splash the cash in the New Year following their £300million takeover with the club boasting the wealthiest owners in world football.

      Club chiefs are compiling a list of potential recruits despite boss Steve Bruce set to be sacked.
      And according to Calciomercato, France international Rabiot is being targeted by the Toon.
      They state that Newcastle are interested in the 26-year-old and could look to bring him to St James’ Park in the winter transfer window.
      Rabiot has featured regularly for the Old Lady since arriving from Paris Saint-Germain in 2019, but has never convinced the Juve faithful of his quality.
      And it has been claimed that the Serie A giants would be prepared to offload the player in order to bring in Van de Beek from Manchester United.
      The Dutchman, 24, has endured a torrid time at Old Trafford following his switch from Ajax and is yet to nail down a starting spot for the Red Devils.

      It is understood that Juve have already opened talks with United about a move for Van de Beek.
      Rabiot isn’t the only high-profile star Newcastle are said to be eyeing up in January, with Barcelona centre-back Clement Lenglet high on their list.
      And his French compatriot Wesley Fofana is also an option with Newcastle alleged to have made contact with Leicester.
      Chelsea striker Timo Werner has also been linked, with German reports stating the club are in regular contact with his agent.
      Meanwhile Rio Ferdinand has urged Newcastle to build a core of English players and told them to sign Raheem Sterling, Declan Rice and Jesse Lingard.
      Speaking on his FIVE YouTube channel, he said: “I’d be going to try and make like a mad couple of signings, like huge, that I think would be gettable.

      “I’d be looking at people like Raheem Sterling. Raheem Sterling’s not playing regularly, I’d go ask him the question. I’d go and ask Declan Rice, ‘What’s going on?’.
      “Them two would be the first two on my list, and I’d go all out to go and get them. And then I’d be trying to get people like Jesse Lingard, who’s in and around the Man United squad.’ 
      “It’s unrealistic until you ask the question. I’d be going out there to get answers from these types of players and then you work your way down your list.”
      Newcastle should stick with Steve Bruce and not sack him as there’s nobody ‘more equipped’ than him, says Danny Murphy More

      Ex-Man Utd goalkeeper Sergio Romero has a new club as he joins Venezia in Serie A after Old Trafford departure

      Now he has penned a deal with the Italian minnows until June and will be looking to help the 17th-placed Serie A side beat the drop.
      The Argentine stopper also has the option of staying an extra year if everything goes to plan.
      Venezia released a statement confirming the news earlier, staying: “Venezia FC is pleased to announce the signing of Argentine goalkeeper Sergio Romero, 34, on a free transfer. 
      “Romero is Argentina’s all-time most-capped goalkeeper and last played for Manchester United. Welcome, Sergio.”
      Romero twice came close to joining Everton only for the transfer to collapse both times.
      He has also discussed terms with LaLiga sides Valencia and Granada.

      And potential switches to Roma and Spezia were ended when financial constraints led to them looking elsewhere.
      Romero impressed as deputy to David de Gea after his arrival at Old Trafford in 2015.
      But Dean Henderson’s emergence on the scene at United led to him growing frustrated over a lack of game time and led to his departure.
      Romero’s wife even vented her fury on social media when he was denied a loan move to Everton last year.
      The Toffees were prepared to cover his £100,000-a-week wages and fork out a £2m fee to secure his services.
      However, United then demanded a permanent £8m fee despite him entering the final 12 months of his contract.

      And ahead of Fury’s first championship defence, the Gypsy King has been receiving plenty of good luck messages – including from legendary Swedish striker Ibrahimovic.
      The 40-year-old AC Milan posted a video message on social media, saying: “Tyson Fury my friend what’s up. I hope you’re well, I hope the camp went well.
      “I hope your family is well and I hope everything is like it should be. 
      “I want to wish you big luck even if you don’t need it – you’re on that level.

      “Keep making history and people admire you, you’re an inspiration for everybody so keep doing what you’re doing and be yourself.
      “Do me a favour, just go out there and dance in the ring and do what you have to do. Take the belt home and keep going, keep striving, keep pushing.”
      Fury responded on Twitter by saying: “Lions eat first, thank you Zlatan!”
      A number of other footy stars have also wished the champ well ahead of his clash with the Bronze Bomber.
      Manchester United supporter Fury received one from Red Devils defender Harry Maguire saying: “All the best champ.”
      United legend Gary Neville, who interviewed Fury on his YouTube channel the Overlap recently, also joined in.

      Arsenal striker Lacazette ‘top transfer target’ for Inter Milan but Serie A champs must get Sanchez’s wages off books

      by

      ALEXANDRE LACAZETTE is attracting interest from Serie A giants Inter Milan regarding a January transfer move. According to La Gazzetta dello Sport, the Serie A champs have made the Arsenal man their ‘top target’.

      But has scored two goals in two games in the Carabao CupCredit: Richard Pelham / The Sun
      The 30-year-old’s Emirates contract expires in June and he is unlikely to extend his stay at the club.
      Frenchman Lacazette is able to begin contract negotiations with foreign teams from January 1 over a free transfer at the end of the campaign.
      But Arsenal could opt to sell him to Inter for a cut-price fee in January.
      However, a move to Milan hinges on whether the Nerazzurri can shift former Gunner Alexis Sanchez off their wage-book.
      Cross city rivals AC Milan have also been linked, as well as Juventus and Atletico Madrid.
      Sanchez earns a reported £6million-a-year at Inter and is under contract until the summer of 2023.

      But the 32-year-old Chilean has played just 52 minutes of Serie A action this season and has fallen out of favour at San Siro since Simone Inzaghi replaced Antonio Conte in the summer.
      In a now-deleted recent social media post, Sanchez said: “Realise that you can be worth a lot, but if you are in the wrong place, you are not going to shine.”
      Lacazette has also struggled for first team minutes so far this campaign.
      He has been restricted to Carabao Cup action, and has not started any of Arsenal’s seven Premier League games this season.
      And SunSport exclusively revealed that Arsenal are already preparing for life without him.
      England duo Dominic Calvert-Lewin and Ollie Watkins are the two names on Mikel Arteta’s striker wish-list.
      Since joining the Gunners from Lyon in a reported £47m deal four years ago, Lacazette has made 174 appearances for the club.
      He also helped the club to FA Cup glory in 2020 and has scored 67 goals during his time at the Emirates.

      Juventus ‘ready to offer Paul Pogba £10m-a-year deal’ but it means Man Utd star must take pay-cut to make transfer

      by

      JUVENTUS are reportedly putting together a £10million-a-year package to lure Paul Pogba back to Turin.However, it means the Manchester United midfielder must take a pay cut to make the return to Serie A.

      According to La Gazzetta Dello Sport Juventus are said to be working on a proposal to bring the French midfielder, 28, back to Serie A.
      The report suggests Juve are willing to offer around £190k-a-week.
      But Pogba already reportedly earns £12m-a-year at Old Trafford, meaning a significant pay-cut is in store should a return to Turin be on the cards.
      Gazetta also reveal that for Juve to press on with a deal, players must first be moved on from the Allianz Stadium.
      Midfielders Adrian Rabiot and Aaron Ramsey are two players who could be sold, as well as American Weston McKennie.
      The news comes after Pogba revealed in midweek that he is still talks to his pals back at Juve.

      BETTING SPECIAL: GET 30/1 ON FURY OR 50/1 ON WILDER FOR HEAVYWEIGHT BOXING CLASH
      Speaking to Mediaset as reported by Fabrizio Romano, he said: “I like Turin! I always speak with former Juve team-mates like Dybala.
      “I’m in Manchester now, I’m under contract until June then let’s see.
      “I want to complete this season at best level – then we see.”
      Pogba previously spent four trophy-laden seasons with the Old Lady, turning out 178 times for the Serie A giants.
      During that time he scored 34 goals, helping the club to four Serie A titles, two Coppa Italias and two Supercoppas.
      The midfielder has been at the centre of intense speculation regarding what club’s colours he will be wearing this time next year.
      Recent reports have suggested he is now happier at Man Utd than he was in the past.
      But the prospect of a return to Turin to link up with his old friends at Juve could be hard to turn down.

      Inter Milan fans bizarrely catch FISH in Sassuolo stadium with moat around pitch to stop fans invading

      by

      INTER MILAN fans had two reasons to cheer on their visit to Sassuolo last week. Not only did Simone Inzaghi’s side claim a valuable three points, fans in the away end also managed to catch a FISH while watching the game.
      Reel it in! A delighted Inter fan hauls in his catch
      Catch of the day – a look at the gold coloured fish hooked by Inter fans
      He holds it up to show off his catch to the onlooking away fans
      And those watching on were clearly impressed
      In a video posted to HooligansTV’s Twitter account last weekend, a man is seen pulling his catch out of the water while other fans watch on in bemusement.
      And in the background the rest of the Inter fans can be seen singing and chanting, oblivious to the exploits going on in front of them.
      The moat was first installed at the Mapei Stadium in Sassuolo in 1995 – designed to stop troublemaking away fans from running on to the pitch.
      And not only has it seemed to have done its job, it also keeps away fans entertained in case the action on the pitch fails to live up to expectations.
      Predictably footy fans on Twitter absolutely loved it, with one saying: “Why the f*** is there a river in the stadium,” with multiple laughing emojis.
      Another amused fan questioned: “What the f***,” while others simply responded with laughing emojis.

      It’s not the first time away fans have come away from the Mapei Stadium with more than just three points in the bag.
      In 2019 a similar video was posted to Twitter of Chievo fans showing off an impressive catch of their own.
      It’s not clear whether the fans returned their catch to the water or not.
      On the pitch Inter picked up a fifth win of the season at the Mapei, which keeps the defending champions unbeaten after seven games in Serie A.
      Goals from Edin Dzeko and Lautaro Martinez helped the Nerazzurri come from a goal down to beat Sassuolo.
      Inzaghi’s side are already four points off pacesetters Napoli though, with Luciano Spalletti’s side boasting a 100% record after seven games.
      Inter are currently third as the league pauses for the international break, two points behind bitter rivals AC Milan who are also yet to lose a game.
      Stefano Pioli’s Rossoneri have won six and drawn one out of their seven games so far.
      And Inter fans should probably switch their attention from fishing back to football, with the Serie A title race this season shaping up to be one for the ages. More

      by

      INTER MILAN midfielder Arturo Vidal has gone viral after a video appeared online of him enjoying a night out.Despite the clip being taken in August, the 34-year-old’s antics has taken social media by storm with the player seen rolling around on the back of his Ferrari.
      Arturo Vidal was seen rolling around on his Ferrari after a night out
      Inter Milan ace Vidal was caught on cameras struggling to get into his car in a video that has gone viral
      According to Gazzetta dello Sport, the incident happened on August 18 – three days before Inter’s opening Serie A match of the season against Genoa.
      Vidal started on the bench for the clash at the San Siro, though he did come on in the second half where he chipped in with a goal and an assist.
      In the video, the Chile international posed for pictures with fans before attempting to get in the passenger seat of his supercar.
      But much to the amusement of the women filming him on a balcony onto the street below, Vidal had difficulty manoeuvring himself into position.
      He was caught on cameras rolling around on the back of the Ferrari with both of his legs in the air as he almost fell off.
      Vidal then got himself back upright, before then getting into the passenger seat facing the wrong way.

      The women were left in hysterics, as they said: “He can’t even stand up.”
      Gazzetta revealed that Inter were aware of the video and already discussed it with the player in August.
      Commenting on the clip, one fan tweeted: “Three days later he scored and assisted playing the best game since he has been at Inter.”
      Another messaged: “For me he can drink in all the bars in Milan and Lombardy, I am interested in what he does on the pitch.”
      A third added: “This is proof that all wages of professional football players should be reduced by 90 per cent.”
