      How ‘Cristiano Ronaldo money’ blocked Man Utd from signing Harry Kane before Bayern transfer

      by

      MANCHESTER UNITED failed to sign Harry Kane last summer because he would have cost them “Cristiano Ronaldo money”.United had been keeping tabs on Kane for almost 10 years as he set the world alight at Tottenham and became record goalscorer for the club as well as England.

      According to The Mail, the Red Devils tried to finally get their star man in the summer when the striker had only one year left on his Spurs deal and was adamant he wouldn’t extend this time around.
      The North Londoners’ chairman Daniel Levy was under immense pressure by owner Joe Lewis to sell the 30-year-old in order to avoid losing the club’s greatest asset for free the year after.
      However, Levy, who is well known for being an immensely tough negotiator, was not at all keen on letting the England captain going to a Premier League rival, even though the player wanted United.
      Therefore, United would definitely have had to splash a staggering amount to seal a deal with the Tottenham bigwig.

      However, the Manchester giants would also have to spend a staggering amount on the forward’s wages.
      Kane would have cost Erik ten Hag’s side a total amount similar to Ronaldo during the Al-Nassr superstar’s second stint at Old Trafford.
      It’s understood that the Tottenham legend’s salary at Bayern Munich is in the neighbourhood of £500,000 per week, including signing-on fee and bonuses.
      Therefore, United would have found themselves back at the same situation they were in when Ronaldo returned in 2021.

      The Red Devils would be dealing with an expensive contract of a player in his thirties that wouldn’t have much resale value at the end of his deal.
      That led to United backing off and Kane ultimately moving to Bayern after a £104million deal with Tottenham.
      And the centre-forward has already amassed a staggering total of 22 goals and seven assists in 19 appearances with the German champions. More

      Hugo Lloris lined up for shock Premier League transfer switch after four-month Tottenham exile

      by

      NEWCASTLE are set to make a second shock transfer swoop for Hugo Lloris as the Magpies look to replace Nick Pope, a report claims.The Tottenham outcast was exiled from Ange Postecoglou’s squad in August and is yet to feature on any of Spurs match-day teamsheets.

      Pope, 31, is set to be sidelined for up to five months after dislocating his shoulder in the Magpie’s 1-0 victory against Manchester United.
      And last week Eddie Howe made it clear he intends to stick by second-choice shot-stopper Martin Dubravka despite their 3-0 loss against Everton.
      But after their 4-1 defeat against Spurs on Sunday and now conceding seven goals in his last two games, Newcastle might be tempted to bolster their goalkeeper ranks in January.
      Forgotten star Lloris is lined up as one of the contenders to fill in Howe’s No1 spot, according to the Mirror.

      Newcastle tried and failed with a deadline-day loan deal for Lloris in September but the move was turned down by the Frenchman.
      The report claims the World Cup 2018 winner felt it was too late to leave Spurs even though it was clear he would not be a part of Postecoglou’s squad this term.
      Lloris’ current deal runs out in the summer of 2024 and has still not featured in any of the Aussie’s matchday line-ups.
      To have ” the chance to save some funds” the Lilywhites are keen to move Lloris on in the new year.

      Newcastle are likely going to consider a loan until the end of the season hoping for Pope to have a speedy recovery.
      Spurs’ former captain also joins David de Gea who has also been on the Magpie’s radar.
      The free agent left Man Utd in the summer after spending 12 years at the club.
      Also, Paris Saint-Germain’s Keylor Navas, who spent the second half of last term on loan at Nottingham Forest, could enter Newcastle’s transfer list. More

      Tottenham star Vicario hits back at Wilson after Newcastle ace branded him ‘disrespectful’ for ‘pulling faces’

      The pair then clashed at the end, just three days after Toon stars had a bust-up with Everton’s Sunderland-born keeper Jordan Pickford following his taunts in a Goodison Park defeat.
      Fuming Wilson said: “There’s a way to win, isn’t there?
      “We saw it in the week when Everton were winning and Jordan Pickford was messing around. The goalkeeper after my header starts pulling faces and messing around.
      “It’s just a lack of respect I thought. I said my piece, we’re grown men and we move on.”

      But Tottenham’s No 1 hit back by posting on Instagram: “Respect is given . . . to everyone that respects me!”
      Wilson in the summer mocked Richarlison on his podcast with Michail Antonio.
      Antonio said: “He’s scored four times this season. Three of the times he’s been offside [and] he’s taken his top off four times this season.”
      A laughing Wilson added:

      “He’s got four yellows – he’s almost on a suspension.”
      Spurs took light of the situation as they posted a mocked up image of the Michael Jordan meme with the words… “and I took that personally.”
      Spurs struck through Destiny Udogie, a Richarlison double and Son Heung-min’s penalty to end a run of four defeats in five games, with Joelinton replying late on for Toon. Defender Cristian Romero was lucky to escape with a yellow card for a nasty-looking tackle on Wilson.
      Injuries are mounting for Toon and boss Eddie Howe said: “I was pleased to see Callum get up from that because it looked dangerous. But we can’t use that as an excuse.

      “Physically we looked fatigued and there was not much we could do about it. We have to park this game quickly but take lessons from it.”
      Amazingly, Richarlison’s goals were the first with his feet since joining from Everton for £50million in 2022.
      He had returned from groin surgery. Tottenham boss Ange Postecoglou said: “Since he’s come back, he feels a lot better physically and I think that’s helped him mentally as well.
      “It wasn’t just his goals, it was his general work-rate, energy and physicality.”

      Postecoglou switched Son back out wide, despite him netting nine Prem goals as a central striker this term.
      The Spurs boss added: “With Sonny, he’s still our best finisher and I thought getting him back on the left would give us some more avenues to score goals.”

      Chelsea in transfer race with Man Utd and Spurs for Germany’s Jonathan Tah but will be made to wait by Bayer Leverkusen

      The German outlet say many clubs see Tah as a valuable outlet to solving their injury woe – with Liverpool also keen on the defender.
      Each of the clubs have a starting central defender out with a long term injury.
      Tah, 27, would be a relatively cheap option for any interested party as he has a release clause of £15.5million.
      But, that clause does not kick in until the summer and Leverkusen will be reluctant to sell in the January window.

      The club are currently top of the Bundesliga, something which was only boosted by Bayern Munich losing 5-1 yesterday to Eintracht Frankfurt.
      The club will also be without Edmond Tapsoba and Odilon Kossounou when they travel to the African Cup of Nations in January.
      So selling Tah would leave them heavily depleted at the back.

      Everton reject Spurs offer to restructure Dele Alli transfer deal that would see them pay LESS for ex-England star

      EVERTON have rejected an offer from Tottenham to restructure their Dele Alli transfer deal.Spurs’ proposal would have seen the Toffees pay less for the former England international.

      Alli joined Everton on an initial free transfer in January 2022 with the deal including a range of performance-based add-ons.
      Those additional fees included £10million once Alli played 20 matches for his new club.
      However, he has yet to reach that tally ahead of his contract expiring in the summer, playing just 13 times for Everton.
      According to The Times, Spurs approached Everton in a bid to avoid losing out on a fee for Alli.
      READ MORE IN FOOTBALL
      Tottenham are said to have offered a reduced £8million fee as well as a reduced number of appearances needed to trigger the clause.
      Whilst this would mean the Toffees have to pay less, it also increases the likelihood of them needing to pay Spurs for Alli.
      Although the report adds that Everton knocked back the cheaper deal, both clubs are said to be open to further talks.
      Alli, who spent last season on loan at Besiktas, has yet to be included in a matchday squad so far this term.

      Instead, he is continuing his recovery from a groin injury which has ruled him out since March.
      The 27-year-old is nearing a return, though, with the hope he will make a comeback in the new year now he is back in training.
      During the summer, Alli bravely opened up about the trauma he suffered as a child, including being sexually abused by a friend of his mum aged six.
      He also detailed how he dealt drugs aged eight, spent time in rehab and developed an addiction to sleeping pills.
      The midfielder’s story prompted an outpouring of support from fans, with Everton supporters displaying a banner in his honour earlier this season. More

      Erling Haaland could be hit with FA charge for meltdown and Twitter rant after Man City’s 3-3 draw with Tottenham

      by

      ERLING HAALAND could be hit with an FA charge after criticising the performance of the match officials during Manchester City’s 3-3 draw with Tottenham on Sunday.Haaland was absolutely raging after ref Simon Hooper denied City the chance of a 94th-minute winner.

      Hooper played an advantage as Haaland was fouled but inexplicably blew up when the Norwegian’s pass sent Jack Grealish through on Tottenham’s goal.
      Haaland let rip and later posted a clip of the incident on X, saying: “WTF”, an abbreviation for ‘What the f***’ which could land him in hot water with the FA.
      Haaland blew his top at ref Hooper and, before storming down the Etihad tunnel, he fired an F-word rant at Gio Lo Celso after the Spurs scorer barged into him at full-time.
      But Pep Guardiola, whose team conceded a 90th-minute leveller, bit his tongue and said: “Next question. I will not do a Mikel Arteta comment.”
      READ MORE IN FOOTBALL
      Guardiola’s old assistant has been charged by the FA for branding VAR “embarrassing” and a “disgrace” after Arsenal lost 1-0 to Newcastle last month.
      City’s boss added: “On the touchline sometimes I lose my mind and my gestures aren’t proper. But here normally for many years as a manager I’m not a guy to comment.
      “It surprised me because when Erling went down, if you whistle in that moment it’s fine.
      “But he stands up and continues and the referee in that moment makes that gesture to ‘play on, play on’.
      Most read in Football
      CASINO SPECIAL – BEST CASINO WELCOME OFFER
      “And after Erling makes the pass he then stops the game.”
      Asked about Haaland’s angry reaction, he said: “It’s normal and it’s the same for ten players.
      “The rules are you cannot talk with the referees or fourth officials so we should have had ten players sent off today.
      “He’s a little bit disappointed. Even the referee — if he played for Man City today he would be disappointed for that action, that’s for sure.”
      City could also be in trouble with the FA over their players surrounding the ref.
      They will be without Rodri and Grealish for Wednesday’s trip to in-form Aston Villa as both reached five bookings yesterday, while Jeremy Doku limped off.
      Earlier this season, Virgil Van Dijk received an additional one match ban from the FA for abusing officials after he was sent off against Newcastle.
      Van Dijk labelled the decision a “f***ing joke” to John Brooks on the field and continued his ire as he marched down the tunnel.
      Van Dijk was also slapped with a £100,000 fine for his comments.
      Spurs boss Ange Postecoglou was asked if his team had got away with one after Hooper blew the whistle prematurely with Grealish on the counter.
      He smiled and said: “Yeah, I guess so, mate.”
      Yet he was thrilled by the performance of his players, who twice fought from behind to claim a point through Dejan Kulusevski’s dramatic header.
      He said: “First half we were lucky to still be in it, City could have blown us away.
      “But we hung in there — we had to calm down and the effort second half was outstanding.

      “A day like this will give us character and belief.”

      The pretty 20-year-old who is a law student at a private university in Sao Paulo, has already stayed at the footballer’s £4m house in North London.
      Speaking ahead of her visit, Araujo admitted her first stay proved a disaster when she left the bedroom door open and one of Richarlison’s dogs ended up using it as a toilet.
