      And the Italian giants are thinking about making him their permanent skipper as a result, according to Sportsmediaset.
      Milan legend – and the club’s technical director – Paolo Maldini is said to support the move.
      And Kjaer also has the fans’ backing with some supporters even starting a social media campaign to get him the armband, according to Gazzetta dello Sport.
      Eriksen, 29, collapsed during Denmark’s Euro 2020 opener against Finland and the team doctor said he ‘was gone’ before they started cardiac resuscitation.
      He needed 13 minutes of intense medical treatment – including CPR and defibrillator shocks – but was thankfully stretchered off the pitch awake soon after.
      It was confirmed on Sunday the former Tottenham man had suffered a cardiac arrest but was stable.
      And he sent a brief message to the public on Monday.
      Denmark captain Kjaer has been widely hailed for his decisive action just moments after Eriksen collapsed.

      The 32-year-old defender dashed from his position and pushed aside other players to immediately place Eriksen into the recovery position, clearly unconscious.
      Kjaer realised what was going on and worked to stop the 29-year-old from swallowing his tongue and then took the life-saving decision to start performing CPR on his stricken friend.
      And the 108-cap international’s inspiring actions could see him promoted at the San Siro.
      Current club captain Alessio Romagnoli rarely starts these days and could reportedly leave in the summer.
      And vice-captain Gianluigi Donnarumma is said to have agreed a £200,000-a-week deal with Paris Saint-Germain after deciding to leave Milan this summer at the end of his contract.
      Kjaer has been at Milan since September when he joined from Sevilla for around £3.2million. He played 39 times in all competitions last season and scored once.
      Christian Eriksen’s life was saved by the fast reactions of team-mates and medics after Kjaer intervened

      On Monday, Denmark keeper Kasper Schmeichel said it was ‘damn nice’ to see Eriksen laughing and smiling when he visited the playmaker in hospital with Kjaer.
      And the Leicester keeper also revealed his admiration for his national team captain.
      He said: “I am incredibly proud to have him as captain.
      “It does not surprise me that he did as he did. He has an incredibly sensitive and human side of him.
      “Simon and Christian spend a lot of time together in Milan as they live close to each other.
      “We did not make any decisions. We did, as we did. I think it’s a very natural thing. Simon… I do not know what to say. He is an exceptional person.”

      And in a recent interview Ramsey spoke about the difficulties he has faced during his two-year spell at Juventus.
      Speaking to La Repubblica, he said: “The last two seasons at Juve have been very difficult, frustrating, not only from a physical point of view.
      “There have been factors and changes that I was not used to.
      “In the national team, on the other hand, I am happy to have a team that follows me step by step. 
      “They understand me, they know what I need and also what my body needs.
      “Unfortunately sometimes the teams always continue to work in a certain way, too.
      “When a player would need more attention… at least now I have the right people around me and then I’ll do everything to get back to a place where I can feel good again, and have confidence.”
      Ramsey, who has two more years on his deal, has featured 65 times over two seasons at Juve but has only managed to score six goals and assist another six.

      He recently suffered four months on the sidelines due to injury and upon his return was then left out of the squad for the Serie A run-in by manager Andrea Pirlo.
      Since signing for Juve on a free transfer in 2019, Ramsey has been one of the club’s highest earners with a contract worth £400,000 per week.
      He has been linked with a move back to Arsenal this summer.
      Earlier this week, it was reported that the Gunners were planning to swoop in and offer the Italian giants a swap deal with full-back Hector Bellerin going the other way.

      Nara, 34, has been sharing their travels to her 7.8million followers on Instagram.
      Last week, Wanda shared their experience on a safari – checking out zebras, elephants and many more animals.
      Sticking with the theme of the holiday, Nara showed off her leopard-print swimsuit whilst diving off the coast of Zanzibar.
      The pair explored the ocean in awe of the marine wildlife, including the beautiful royal blue tang and dolphins.
      Icardi is enjoying a short break from football after PSG’s disastrous season.
      The Parisians won the French Cup, but surprisingly lost the title to Lille on the final day of the season.
      The Argentine scored 13 goals across all competitions this season, eight shy of his goal total from the 2019-20 season.
      And his agent/wife is believed to be negotiating a possible return to the Serie A.

      According to Calciomercato, AC Milan are one of the clubs who are tracking Icardi’s situation.
      And a return to Italy could be more productive for the 28-year-old, where he scored 124 goals in 219 games for Inter Milan.
      Icardi has also been left out of Argentina’s Copa America squad with the tournament set to get underway in a couple of days time.
      The pair controversially got together after their affair was exposed dating back to 2013 when Nara was married to Icardi’s then team-mate Maxi Lopez.
      The pair caught some heat from back home in Argentina for the situation.
      And Lopez even refused to shake Icardi’s hand on two separate occasions when Inter Milan met Sampdoria and Torino back in 2014 and 2016 respectively.
      Wife Nara played a big part in Icardi’s exit from Inter when she made comments on Italian TV show Tiki Taka where she criticised management, which resulted in the 28-year-old being stripped of the captaincy.

      Arsenal keeping tabs on Manuel Locatelli at Euro 2020 as they line up transfer move for Italy and Sassuolo star

      by

      ARSENAL are keeping tabs on Italy and Sassuolo’s Manuel Locatelli at Euro 2020, according to reports. The midfielder was a standout performer for Sassuolo in Serie A, helping them to an eighth-placed finish.

      It earned him a place in Roberto Mancini’s 26-man squad for the delayed European Championships, which kicked off with Italy beating 3-0.
      Locatelli started in a three-man midfield, partnering Chelsea’s Jorginho and Nicolo Barella of Inter Milan.
      And according to Sky Italia, Arsenal could have been watching with keen interest after targeting the 23-year-old.
      Manchester City, PSG, Juventus and Borussia Dortmund are also among the clubs interested in the Italian.
      Sassuolo are reluctant to sell such a key part of their side, but it is believed an offer of £34million would be enough to convince them into a deal.
      Arsenal are set to be in need of midfield reinforcements, with Lucas Torreira and Matteo Guendouzi potentially leaving after loan spells last season.
      Ex-captain Granit Xhaka also faces an uncertain future, with Jose Mourinho’s Roma claimed to be in advanced talks to sign him.
      Martin Odegaard, who arrived on loan fro Real Madrid in January, also appears unlikely to make his move permanent, and could return to Spain.

      Locatelli headed into the Euros admitting once the tournament is complete, he will be left to consider his next move.
      He said: “It is just gossip. There is such an important competition to play and I am focused on that.
      “It is normal to have rumours about the transfer market, but I will not let myself be influenced by them.’
      “It would be a waste of time to think about that, even though I know that after the Euros will have some decisions to make.”

      Watch Cristiano Ronaldo’s ‘worst free kick ever’ as Portugal captain mocked after Israel victory ahead of Euro 2020

      by

      CRISTIANO RONALDO was mocked for the ‘worst free-kick’ of his entire career during Portugal’s friendly with Israel. The Juventus superstar was renowned for his set-piece taking, especially earlier in his career with Manchester United and Real Madrid.

      Cristiano Ronaldo couldn’t hide his disappointmentCredit: AFP
      But he woefully dropped his standards in Portugal’s final game before the delayed European Championships.
      The legendary forward, 36, completed his iconic run up to the ball but riffled one right into the empty stands.
      Ronaldo was ruthlessly slammed by fans online, who called for him to stop taking free-kicks all together.
      One tweeted: “Who has video of that Ronaldo free kick? That’s the worst free kick I’ve ever seen him take.”
      Another commented: “Why does he continue to take them?”
      One posted: “He really needs to let go of the free kick duties now.”
      Another wrote: “He shouldn’t be allowed to take free-kicks once the crowd returns. It’s too dangerous. The ball can literally hit anyone.”

      The failed free-kick mattered little, as Ronaldo was on the scoresheet in the 4-0 win, with Bruno Fernandes scoring twice.
      Manchester City’s Juan Cancelo also grabbed a goal giving Portugal a boost going into the Euros.
      They have a what many consider ‘The Group of Death’ with fixtures against France, Germany and Hungary.
      Portugal open against Hungary and their manager Fernando Santos admitted his side must improve before next Tuesday’s clash.
      He told RTP: “In the second I changed things a little, I tried to put one more man next to Ronaldo and two midfielders coming in from the inside, but it didn’t work.
      “We started to miss a lot of passes and the ball circulation was not so good. There are many things to improve, certainly.
      “Now lets rest and calmly prepare for the Euros. This team has a huge will and an excellent team spirit.”

      Man Utd could swap Paul Pogba for Cristiano Ronaldo or Paulo Dybala as Juventus ‘cannot pay for transfer in cash’

      And with the Frenchman having just one year remaining on his contract, hopes of a reunion are growing in Turin.
      Juventus cannot afford the sort of transfer fee that the Red Devils would demand for their No6.
      So a swap deal could be most feasible for both parties.
      According to Tuttosport, Juve would be willing to part with Ronaldo or Dybala in exchange for Pogba, rather than cash.
      Ronaldo’s agent Jorge Mendes has been in Italy for meetings this week, with the 36-year-old’s future on the agenda.
      The Portuguese remains a prolific goalscorer for the Old Lady.
      But Juve are struggling to afford his enormous wages.
      Parting with him could therefore be beneficial, especially if attaining Pogba in the process.

      Returning boss Massimiliano Allegri would be delighted to work with the 28-year-old again, having enjoyed success with him during his first stint.
      Dybala, on the other hand, reportedly wants to stay at Juve after Allegri’s return.
      But his future remains up in the air, as another expensive player whose form dipped dramatically last season.
      Pogba is currently away with France for Euro 2020.
      And he has refused to be drawn on his future during the tournament.
      He said: “I have one year left on my contract, everyone knows that.
      “There have been no concrete proposals for extensions. I’m still in Manchester.
      “After the season there was the vacation, so I didn’t sit down with the managers and coach. I’m focused on the Euro.”

      Tottenham acknowledge that they are in serious need of a refresh this summer.
      And Fonseca could call upon trusted lieutenants.
      According to La Repubblica, there are three Roma stars that he has a ‘genuine passion for’.
      One of them is defender Gianluca Mancini.
      The Italian initially joined Roma on loan during the summer that Fonseca arrived from Shakhtar.
      And in their two seasons together, Mancini became integral to the playing out from the back that Fonseca demanded in Rome.
      In total Mancini, 25, has made 82 appearances for Roma, while winning six caps for the Azzurri.
      Fonseca is also a huge fan of creative midfielder Lorenzo Pellegrini.

      The 24-year-old joined Roma in 2017, and added more goals to his game last season.
      Pellegrini scored 11 times in all competitions, and has also won 17 Italy caps to date.
      The third player Fonseca could target is Spanish midfielder Gonzalo Villar.
      Having arrived from Elche last year, the 23-year-old made a superb impact at the heart of the team – even earning his first Spain cap this week.
      La Repubblica’s report admits, however, that it will be difficult for Tottenham to prise any of these three players from their current home.
      New sporting director Fabio Paratici is officially expected to take the reigns next week, but has already started planning Tottenham’s moves for what is set to be a crucial summer.

      Jose Mourinho’s new side are close to agreeing a fee in the region of £17million for the midfielder.
      And Xhaka, 28, couldn’t resist a dig at the Gunners when questioned about his own form, insisting ‘you’re only as good as your team’.
      The bitter Gunners star said: “Football is a team sport and you’re only as good as your team.
      “Of course, it was a good year for me personally. I’ve always played and performed.
      “But the place at the end of the season is, of course, really bitter and disappointing for us.”
      “There were certainly a number of issues that didn’t go optimally, but there is now no point in looking back.”
      Xhaka has had a turbulent time in north London after telling fans to “f*** off” following being jeered off during a draw against Crystal Palace in 2019.
      But the Switzerland captain actually had one of his better seasons in an Arsenal shirt, playing 45 times.

      The Swiss have reached the last-16 in their last three major tournaments and Xhaka believes they should not ruled out of this summer’s Euro 2020.
      He added: “I am convinced that we have developed significantly over time. I personally associate consistently positive experiences with the last 10 years.
      “Certainly there were disappointing moments in major tournaments, where we were partly unhappy. But otherwise I’m very happy about my time with this great team and I’m convinced that the development of this team is not over yet.”
