      Sevilla hope to land Man Utd flop Alexis Sanchez on cut-price transfer amid Inter Milan’s financial struggles

      by

      Antonio Conte quit the club over the decision, which was taken amid a financial crisis for Inter and Chinese owners Suning.
      A number of players have already been identified for a move including Achraf Hakimi, with Paris Saint-Germain hoping to bag a £50m deal.
      High-earner Christian Eriksen and Marcelo Brozovic, out of contract in 12 months’ time, could also be moved on.
      Sanchez, 32, is an option given he was not a regular starter during the Scudetto triumph despite his hefty £117,000-a-week wages.
      Spanish newspaper Sport quotes Italian media reports that suggest Sevilla are chasing the Chilean.
      The deal would require Inter to accept a cut-price bid for Sanchez.

      Having signed him on a free from Manchester United last year following an initial loan spell, it would not be difficult for the club to make a profit.
      In addition, the winger may have to take a pay cut even though he has two years remaining on his Nerazzurri contract.
      Sevilla could find themselves with more cash to play with later in the window if Jules Kounde is sold.
      The centre-back is being eyed by Chelsea, Manchester United and more for a deal that could reach £60m.

      Cristiano Ronaldo takes rare £2.15m Bugatti Chiron out for spin in Lisbon ahead of Portugal clash vs Spain

      by

      CRISTIANO RONALDO hopped into his £2.15million Bugatti Chiron for a ride around Lisbon on Wednesday.Pictures showed the Portugal star climbing into the silver-and-black hypercar on a side street before driving off.

      The rare hypercar cost £2.15million with only 500 madeCredit: BackGrid
      Only 500 Chirons were ever made as the French manufacturer formulated its successor to the historic Veyron – which Ronaldo also owns.
      Powered by an eight-litre, quad-turbocharged W16 engine, it spits out 1,500 horsepower to hit a top-speed of over 300mph.
      Purchased in 2017, the Bugatti takes pride of place in Ronaldo’s incredibly impressive garage.
      Last month, the 36-year-old took a trip to Maranello to pose for photos with Ferrari’s Formula One stars and pick up his £1.4m Monza convertible.
      Already in his collection were a Lamborghini Aventador, Ferrari F12, Rolls Royce Cullinan, McLaren Senna and much more.
      And soon to be added is the ludicrous Bugatti Centodieci, which will be delivered this year after Ronaldo forked out £8.5m as a treat to himself following a Juventus title win.

      Only ten of the Centodieci, which will crank up to 1,600 horsepower, are being made.
      Many of the cars were recently shipped out of Turin and back to Spain, fuelling speculation that Ronaldo will soon leave Juventus.
      The Chiron in question is thought to have been among the vehicles spotted boarding a specialist wagon hired to transport the expensive fleet.

      Ronaldo is out of contract at the Serie A giants in a year’s time and rumours persist over a move to Paris Saint-Germain or Manchester United.
      In the meantime, he will attempt to defend Portugal’s European Championship title when the tournament begins later this month.
      The Selecao take on Spain in Madrid on Friday night, the friendly kicking off at 6.30pm.

      Following the merry-go-round of managers Ancelotti, Juventus’ Massimiliano Allegri, and Mauricio Pochettino are assessing their options.
      According to La Gazzetta dello Sport, the Italian’s arrival in Madrid will lead to the club attempting to sign Mbappe as a ‘gift’ to the coach.
      Real failed to win a trophy in 2020-21 and linking up the striker with France team-mate Karim Benzema is seen as a surefire route to success.
      On Wednesday night, the pair combined in a 3-0 friendly win over Wales.
      Mbappe, 22, is out of contract in 12 months’ time leading to lengthy talks with PSG over his future.
      If a deal cannot be agreed, Madrid are said to be confident that they can swoop in and nab their number one target for a relatively cheap fee.

      Pulling off the deal will lead to Les Parisiens seeking a new star forward to play alongside Neymar – and that is where Ronaldo comes in.
      The 36-year-old is also entering the final year of his Juve contract and financial difficulties in Turin have led to speculation over whether the club would sanction a sale.
      PSG are predicted to come in for Ronaldo if Mbappe leaves, whereby Juventus would seek to sign Icardi.

      The Argentine striker has long been a target for the Bianconeri, leading to rumours of Inter Milan putting an anti-Juve clause in the deal that sent him to Paris.
      The exact details of the swap remain to be seen and the Italian giants have also been linked with trading Ronaldo for Paul Pogba.
      One alternative replacement for the Portuguese star is Marseille star Arkadiusz Milik, according to reports in Italy.

      It had been claimed that the Champions League winners were even prepared to sell six players in order to fund a move for the Belgium international.
      There were fears that he could follow Antonio Conte out the door at the San Siro with Inter in serious financial trouble.
      But Lukaku has insisted that his future lies in Italy as he vowed to help the Nerazzurri win another Serie A title.
      The former Everton ace spearheaded Inter to their first Scudetto since 2010 after chipping in with 24 goals and ten assists in 36 games.
      Speaking on VTM’s ‘Devil Time’ show, he said: “I am staying at Inter.
      “I’ve already had contact with new manager [Simone] Inzaghi.

      Before adding: “There’s also the challenge of doing it again (winning the league with Inter). I feel good at Inter.”

      He came close to returning to West London in 2017 when Conte was in charge, but he opted instead to join Manchester United.
      And he looks to have once again turned down the chance to play for Chelsea.
      The Blues could now turn look to Borussia Dortmund’s Erling Haaland with owner Roman Abramovich to inject over £150m into new recruits.

      Real Madrid ‘approached Jose Mourinho about replacing Zinedine Zidane before appointing Carlo Ancelotti’

      by

      Mourinho was informally approached by Real at the end of last week before they made contact again over the weekend, according to the Telegraph.
      Both Mourinho and Ancelotti have previously managed Real.
      But Mourinho – who was sacked by Tottenham in April – made it clear he had no interest in a return as he had agreed to take the Roma job and is excited by the challenge ahead.
      Real’s Champions League status is in doubt next season with the threat of a Uefa ban hanging over their heads as a result of their involvement in the renegade European Super League plot.
      They also have crippling debts in the region of £1BILLION which could limit their spending.
      Despite their woes, Real managed to persuade Everton to part with Ancelotti swiftly.
      And they announced the Italian as their new boss on Tuesday.
      The LaLiga giants had been on the hunt for a new boss ever since Zidane’s departure last week following a sub-par 2020-21 campaign.

      Ancelotti is returning to the club he managed between 2013 and 2015 on a three-year deal.
      The 61-year-old had been under contract at Goodison Park until the end of the 2023-24 season.
      But after the Toffees’ Champions League pursuit crumbled – eventually finishing the season in tenth – Ancelotti terminated his contract to head back to the Spanish capital.
      The former Chelsea boss said: “I would like to thank the board of directors, the players, and the Evertonians for the tremendous support they have all given me during my time at the club.
      “I have complete respect for everyone associated with Everton and hope they can achieve the exciting opportunities they have in front of them.
      “While I have enjoyed being at Everton I have been presented with an unexpected opportunity which I believe is the right move for me and my family at this time.”

      PSG ‘agree to sign Gianluigi Donnarumma on free transfer before immediately sending keeper out on loan’

      by

      PARIS SAINT-GERMAIN have agreed to sign Gianluigi Donnarumma on a free transfer and will loan him back to Italy for the first season, according to reports. The Italian keeper failed to agree fresh terms with AC Milan so will leave the San Siro side on June 30.

      And PSG have beaten Juventus to his signature, according to journalist Duncan Castles.
      The Ligue 1 giants have recently extended Keylor Navas’ deal which seemed to suggest they would swerve Donnarumma, 22.
      But they are said to have moved anyway in what appears to be a sound move for the future.
      Donnarumma has made it clear he wants to play Champions League football which would leave only a handful of teams for him to join on loan.
      Inter, AC, Atalanta and Juve are the four teams who qualified for the Champions League in Italy.
      But Juve now seems an unlikely destination after Donnarumma was reportedly left in tears after Milan Ultras threatened him amid links with the Old Lady.
      Jose Mourinho is also said to have called the keeper to convince him to join Roma who are only playing in the Europa Conference League with his old team Spurs.
      Donnarumma came up through the Milan academy and made his Serie A debut at 16.

      He has also been linked with Barcelona who are said to be willing to sacrifice ‘untouchable’ Marc Andre ter Stegen and replace him with the Italy international.
      And Chelsea and Manchester United have both been linked given the complicated goalkeeping situation at both clubs.
      Milan technical director Paolo Maldini recently told reporters: “He [Donnarumma] has been a protagonist of this season.
      “It’s getting more and more difficult to find players who start in a team and always end up staying.
      “The roads with Gigio are splitting, I can only wish him the best.”
      According to Italian journalist Fabrizio Romano, Milan want to replace the departing goalkeeper with Lille stopper Mike Maignan.
      Milan finished second in Serie A this season, 12 points behind champions and local rivals Inter.
