      Ibrahimovic, 38, expected to sign new £104k-a-week AC Milan contract this week after returning from Saint-Tropez holiday

      by

      AC MILAN are set to hand Zlatan Ibrahimovic a new one-year deal with the club delighted by his performances following his arrival in the winter transfer window.
      The 38-year-old chipped in with 11 goals and five assists in 20 games in all competitions as he helped the Rossoneri secure a Europa League spot.

      SunSport reported last month how the Serie A side were ready to hand the Swedish striker a £104,000-a-week contract at the San Siro.
      And now it has been claimed that he will put pen to paper on a new deal this week once he returns from his break in Saint-Tropez.
      According to La Gazzetta dello Sport, Ibrahimovic will sign a contract at the club that will last until the end of the 2020/21 campaign.
      It has been claimed that Ibrahimovic’s signature is all that is needed for the announcement to become official.

      After weeks of negotiations, it is believed that news of his stay will be confirmed later this week.
      Gazzetta dello Sport reported in July that Ibrahimovic could sign a one-year deal, with the option of a further 12 months.

      This would mean that the ex-Manchester United star would be 40 by the time his second spell ends in Milan.
      There were rumours that Leeds were eyeing up a move for the maverick forward after the former Barcelona man stated he is unsure whether he will remain in Italy.

      But Ibrahimovic put an end to speculation regarding his future after he appeared in Milan’s kit launch for next term.

      Cristiano Ronaldo looks in ridiculous shape as Juventus star shows off ripped abs on yacht while on holiday

      by

      CRISTIANO RONALDO is shaking off Juventus’ Champions League disappointment by sunning it up on holiday on his private yacht.
      The 35-year-old was visibly gutted on Friday night, when his brace wasn’t enough to prevent his team crashing out of his favourite competition at the hands of the lesser fancied Lyon.

      His boss Maurizio Sarri paid for the poor result with his job, and Ronaldo will now have playing under Andrea Pirlo to look forward to next time out.
      But before then the Portuguese legend is enjoying some well-earned time off – and showing off his toned physique in the process.
      With the coronavirus pandemic still showing few signs of going anywhere, CR7 and girlfriend Georgina Rodriguez have regularly been getting away from it all – by escaping to their luxury yacht off the coast.
      And the loved-up pair appear to be having a whale of a time – regularly showing off their happy faces as they post to their millions of followers on social media.

      Accompanying this latest snap was the caption: “On board” – followed by a “wink” emoji.
      Ronaldo’s army of fans instantly flocked to the post to appreciate their hero – including Piers Morgan.
      The Brit commented, as he regularly does: “Good abdominals 👌”.
      Of Ronaldo’s figure, another wrote: “Shredded!”

      And another added: “Looking lean and mean 🙏💪”.
      French outlet Le10Sport recently claimed that Ronaldo could be on his way to Paris Saint-Germain this summer, after failing to win the Champions League in his two years in Turin.
      But for now, CR7 appears relaxed and at peace with the world, wherever his future may lie.

      Five-time Ballon d’Or winner Ronaldo has continued to suffer European heartbreak since swapping Real Madrid for Turin.
      The Portuguese scored twice against Lyon on Friday but couldn’t stop Juventus crashing out of the Champions League on away goals.
      Ronaldo has since escaped with Rodriguez and their children to his £5.5million yacht in Savona, Italy, over the weekend.
      Georgina has already dazzled in a string purple bikini as she soaked up the rays during a recent Mediterranean excursion.

      And the model has now been flaunting her incredible physique again with a sultry selfie in a Dior hat.
      One fan said: “You are the bomb of the Mediterranean.”
      Another simply said: “Beautiful.”

      Pirlo plans to get best out of Cristiano Ronaldo at Juventus by reuniting him with Real Madrid playmaker Isco

      by

      JUVENTUS boss Andrea Pirlo has reportedly made Real Madrid star Isco a key target after replacing Maurizio Sarri.
      The 41-year-old has been appointed as the new Old Lady gaffer after the former Chelsea manager was sacked following the club’s Champions League exit to Lyon.

      And it has been claimed that he has identified Spanish playmaker Isco as a possible addition to his squad.
      Should he make the move to Italy, the 28-year-old would be reunited with Cristiano Ronaldo – with the pair spending five seasons together at the Bernabeu.
      La Gazzetta dello Sport have republished a quote from Pirlo from last season, in which he said: “To win the Champions League you need a player like Isco.
      “The midfield is the key to everything, you have Cristiano but you need to find a way to ignite him.”

      And according to SportMediaset, Real could offer Isco or Toni Kroos to Juve in exchange for Paulo Dybala.
      In addition to offering one of the midfielders, it has been said that Madrid are also prepared to hand over £89.9million.

      It has been stated that Juve are unwilling to part with Dybala, with the club looking to extend the Argentinian international’s contract.

      Manchester United have also been linked with a move for Dybala, but the 26-year-old is reportedly close to signing a new deal until 2025.
      Juventus are said to be in the market for a new midfielder after Miralem Pjanic left to join Barcelona, while Blaise Matuidi is close to joining Inter Miami.

      David Beckham’s Inter Miami snap up first big star as Blaise Matuidi has medical ahead of transfer from Juventus

      by

      INTER MIAMI have finally snapped up their first big star signing with Blaise Matuidi set for a medical in Paris.
      David Beckham’s MLS side appear to have acquired the midfielder on a free transfer, as Juventus look to lighten their wage bill.

      According to Fabrizio Romano, a deal between the two clubs was reached allowing Matuidi to undergo a medical in the French capital.
      Juve have been heavily hit following the coronavirus crisis with Aaron Ramsey and Gonzalo Higuain also facing uncertain futures.
      World Cup winner Matuidi,33, was one of three Juventus stars to be hit by the deadly bug during the pandemic.
      He tested positive for Covid-19, alongside Daniele Rugani and Paulo Dybala, and thankfully made a full recovery.

      Speaking to YouTube channel Bros Stories, he said: “Honestly, it’s tough.
      “When I tested positive, I couldn’t even go out shopping. It made me psychotic.”
      Matuidi spent a year with former England captain Beckham with PSG in 2013.
      And Becks – part owner of Inter Miami – convinced his former team-mate to make the move Stateside.

      Beckham last month asked fans to be patient after Inter Miami became the first MLS expansion team to lose their opening five competitive fixtures.
      A 1-0 defeat to New York City meant Beck’s new franchise were also the first club eliminated from the MLS is Back tournament.
      The ex-England and Man Utd star has several other top talents on his radar.
      Barcelona striker Luis Suarez is heavily liked with the MLS newbies and so has his old Liverpool colleague Daniel Sturridge.
      Sturridge has been a free agent since his contract with Turkish club Trabzonspor was terminated.

      According to L’Equipe, he has now set his sights on a move to the MLS or France’s Ligue 1.
      The former Manchester City forward is believed to follow both of the leagues closely.
      Sturridge is open to a permanent move to America as he wants to set up his own record label there when he hangs up his boots.

      Mario Balotelli offered £43k-a-week transfer to join Besiktas and end Brescia hell after new club freezes him out

      by

      MARIO BALOTELLI has been offered a £43,000-a-week transfer to Besiktas, according to reports.
      The maverick ex-Manchester City striker has been frozen out by current club Brescia and he has been given the chance to end his Serie A hell by the Turkish side.

      1

      Mario Balotelli has been offered the chance to end his Brescia hell by Besiktas
      Balotelli, 29, has still got two years left to run on his deal with his hometown side.
      But in early June, he was effectively “sacked” by the Italian outfit after a monster bust-up with the club’s chief and former Leeds supremo Massimo Cellino.
      However, he has been handed a football lifeline by SuperLig side Besiktas, who are in talks with his agent Mino Raiola, according to Italian transfer guru Nicolo Schira.
      Balotelli fuelled the fire yesterday when he posted heart emojis in response to a Besiktas fan page that tagged him in a message imploring him to join the Turkish side.

      It was recently claimed that Balotelli’s contract with Brescia was set to be terminated at the end of the 2019/20 campaign.
      But he was reportedly given his marching orders earlier than planned after missing ten days of training.
      And he was then denied entry to Brescia’s training base and sent packing by security just days later.
      La Gazzetta claimed no legal action was taken as an agreement was reached with Balotelli’s lawyers.

      The Italian returned to join his home town club in August 2019 after stints with Nice and Marseille.
      He racked up five goals in 19 Serie A appearances for Diego Lopez’s side this season.
      But he caused a stir when he started missing training sessions when lockdown restrictions were eased.
      He put his absence down to stomach problems, but reports revealed he had been spotted training alone.
      Balotelli initially put pen to paper on a £160,000-per-week Brescia deal last summer – but Cellino has labelled it a “mistake”.

      Speaking to BBC’s World Football programme, he said: “I think we both made a mistake.
      “I thought that coming to Brescia, which is his town, would commit him very much.
      “At the same time, I think he was handled the wrong way by my previous coach [Eugenio Corini].”

      Pirlo set to flog SEVEN Juventus stars including Higuain and Man Utd transfer target Douglas Costa in huge overhaul

      by

      ANDREA PIRLO is showing no mercy as the new Juventus boss by preparing to flog seven stars, according to reports.
      The legendary midfielder, 41, replaced Maurizio Sarri at the Allianz Stadium over the weekend.

      And Pirlo is wasting little time in getting rid of the deadwood he does not want – starting with the likes of ex-Chelsea striker Gonzalo Higuain and Manchester United target Douglas Costa.
      Higuain has been linked with a Juventus departure for months after not coming back from lockdown on time and then falling out with the previous boss.
      At 32, his best days look to be behind him and a move to the MLS or even a shock return to England was reported.
      Costa, meanwhile, was once heavily linked with a switch to Old Trafford.

      And if Jadon Sancho’s record-breaking transfer does not go through, the 29-year-old Brazilian could be a cheaper alternative for Ole Gunnar Solskjaer.

      In fact, according to Tuttosport, United are one of a number of Premier League sides thought to be tracking Costa this summer.
      The report also adds that Sami Khedira and Blaise Matuidi are also at risk of being let go with both midfielders 33 years old.
      Finally, defenders Mattia De Sciglio, Alex Sandro and Daniele Rugani could be sold as well.

      It is thought two full-backs will be on their way out, which could pave the way for Chelsea, Manchester United and Tottenham to reignite their interest in Sandro.
      Rugani’s game time has been limited this season due to the form of Leonardo Bonucci and Matthijs de Ligt while Merih Demiral impressed before his injury.

      Arsenal, Chelsea and Wolves have all been linked with a swoop for Rugani as he looks surplus to requirements at the Old Lady.
      Shipping out a number of stars will free up places in the squad and wage budget for new-manager Pirlo to bring in his own signings this summer.
      Juventus, who may face a battle to hold on to Cristiano Ronaldo amid interest from Paris Saint-Germain, may go after Arsenal outcast Matteo Guendouzi and Napoli striker Arkadiusz Milik.

      David Silva posts emotional Man City goodbye with poignant image of legend overlooking Etihad as Lazio transfer nears

      by

      MANCHESTER CITY legend David Silva has posted a farewell goodbye to the Etihad after he played his final game at the ground on Friday night.
      The 34-year-old – who will leave the club later this month – played nine minutes in the 2-1 win against Real Madrid to keep his Champions League dream alive.

      But even though he still may feature for City again this season with Pep Guardiola’s men to face Lyon on Saturday, he will not feature again at the Etihad.
      That is because the remaining Champions League fixtures will all take place in Lisbon with the quarter-finals and semi-finals a one-legged affair.
      The European Cup has alluded Silva in his ten years spent at the club after arriving from Valencia in 2010.
      After helping his team-mates earn a 4-2 aggregate win against Los Blancos, Silva took to social media, where he posted a picture of himself standing inside City’s stadium looking out at the pitch and the stands.

      Silva – who has won four Premier League titles and two FA Cups with the Citizens – is reportedly set to join Lazio on a free transfer.
      It has been claimed that the Spanish playmaker has been offered £52,000-a-week by the Rome outfit, as well as a private jet and a luxury pad.
      His father revealed last week how he hopes his son signs for Lazio, as he said: “One day he tells me one thing and the next he tells me another.
      “Personally I would like him to remain in Europe and until the transfer window shuts, I can’t rule out anything.

      “I can confirm that he likes the Italian league and would really enjoy playing in Italy. He told me he could play there until he’s 40 years old.
      “At the moment, there are many offers and he has to decide, but I’d love it if he signed for Lazio, because even if Rome is quite far away, it’d be a huge opportunity for him.
      “I know it’s unlikely he’ll come back to Spain, as he always tells me to rule out the idea of a return to Valencia.”
