      Barcelona look to raid Bayern Munich in stunning double transfer swoop after German giants’ shock move for Joao Cancelo

      by

      BARCELONA are lining up a double transfer raid on Bayern Munich, according to reports.The Spanish giants have identified two major stars as key targets.
      Joao Cancelo’s arrival to Bayern could prompt the exit for two starsCredit: Getty
      However, they will wait until the summer before launching their bids.
      According to Fabrizio Romano, there are no talks ongoing between the two European heavyweights on deadline day – six months on from their bitter row regarding Robert Lewandowski’s move.
      Instead, Barca plan to try and strike at the end of the season for duo Benjamin Pavard and Joshua Kimmich.
      It is reported that French defender Pavard is open to the switch to the Nou Camp.
      READ MORE IN FOOTBALL
      Versatile ace Kimmich, meanwhile, has emerged as a top priority for the 2023-24 season.
      The former RB Leipzig player has shone throughout this seven-and-a-half years with Bayern, winning the Bundesliga in each season.
      Pavard, 26, arrived from Stuttgart in 2019 – a year after winning the World Cup – and the pair combined in the Champions League-winning campaign in 2020.
      However, the double deal could be scuppered by Barcelona’s torrid financial situation.
      Most read in Football

      Directo Gol report it would be “economically impossible” to bring Kimmich in.
      The Germany star, 27, earns a reported £330,000 per week at the Allianz Stadium and is tied down until 2025.
      Pavard, though, will enter the final 12 months of his £84,000-a-week contract this summer and is therefore far more affordable.
      And Bayern may be more open to selling him after signing Joao Cancelo from Manchester City, initially on loan with an option to buy.
      BARCA MONEY MESS
      Barcelona have already been told they must reduce their annual spending on wages next season by £158million to comply with financial regulations.
      The LaLiga leaders sold off various rights and deals last summer – including shares in a TV company and the stadium name – to help operate amid their £1billion debt.
      Barcelona signed Franck Kessie, Andreas Christensen, Raphinha, Jules Kounde, Marcos Alonso, Hector Bellerin and Lewandowski last summer.
      The £42.5million deal for the Polish striker left the Bundesliga champions fuming – and could scupper Barca’s chances of signing Pavard or Kimmich.
      Bayern – who were already angry at Barca regarding the failed European Super League breakaway – could not believe the Spanish side were allowed to seal the transfer.
      Read More on The Sun
      Boss Julian Nagelsmann raged: “Barcelona, the only club that has no money but then buys every player they want.
      “I do not know how [they do it]. It‘s kind of weird, kind of crazy.”

      Arsenal and Tottenham tipped to make last-gasp Allan Saint-Maximin transfer after Newcastle sign Anthony Gordon

      by

      ARSENAL and Tottenham should make a late bid for Newcastle forward Allan Saint-Maximin, according to former Premier League striker Louis Saha.Saint-Maximin, 25, has struggled for game time at St James’ Park so far this season.
      Allan Saint-Maximin has not started a Premier League game since AugustCredit: Getty
      He was plagued by injuries at the beginning of the campaign, suffering from hamstring and other muscular problems.
      But he has been fit since the end of October, with Eddie Howe still opting not to start him in a single Premier League game.
      He has not been named in a Newcastle XI in the league since the end of August.
      That is despite Saint-Maximin acting as the shining light for the Magpies last season.
      READ MORE ON ARSENAL
      The team appear to be thriving without him and even added to their forward line in the January transfer window through the acquisition of £45million man Anthony Gordon.
      And Gordon’s arrival is one Saha believes Arsenal and Tottenham should capitalise on by trying to sign the out-of-favour Saint-Maximin.
      Speaking to GGRecon, the former Man Utd, Spurs, Everton and Fulham forward said: “All young players should see how quick football goes.
      “It’s unbelievable because last season Saint-Maximin was unreal and nobody would have been thinking about the prospect of Newcastle selling him.

      “He’s been unlucky this season with injuries, but he’s a top player and he could potentially find a move to one of the ‘big six’ clubs.
      “I could see Arsenal or Tottenham having a player of Saint-Maximin’s quality and style.”
      The Gunners have already added to their forward line this month through the signing of Leandro Trossard from Brighton for £27m.

      Spurs have also done business in attack, stealing Arnaut Danjuma from under Everton’s noses in a loan deal until the end of the season.
      But Saint-Maximin could still add something to both squads, with Arsenal going for the title and Tottenham looking to clinch a top-four spot.
      The Newcastle forward has contributed 13 goals and 19 assists in 109 games since arriving from Nice for £16.5m in 2019.

      Matt Doherty’s tweet from 2016 goes viral with Atletico Madrid fans after shock transfer from Tottenham

      by

      A TWEET posted by Matt Doherty in 2016 has gone viral.That’s as the Tottenham ace prepares to complete a shock loan move to Atletico Madrid.
      A near-seven year old tweet from Atletico Madrid-bound Matt Doherty has gone viralCredit: PA
      Doherty, 31, is on the verge of following in Kieran Trippier’s footsteps by swapping north London for the Wanda Metropolitano.
      The Republic of Ireland international has started just nine games this term.
      And Doherty was set to become Spurs’ third-choice wing-back following the imminent arrival of Pedro Porro from Sporting Lisbon.
      However, he is now set for a career reprieve after Atletico made a surprise loan bid – despite Diego Simeone supposedly not knowing who he is.
      READ MORE IN FOOTBALL
      But Doherty won’t mind after securing a transfer to the club of his dreams.
      In 2016, and while still playing for Wolves, the right-back revealed he was a huge fan of Simeone’s Atletico side.
      Doherty even posted about his admiration for the capital club on Twitter.
      And with a transfer to Atletico now taking place, Doherty’s tweet from almost seven years ago has gone viral with fans of the Spanish giants.

      Another declared: “It seems that we won’t get on badly.”
      One laughed: “He loves watching Atletico when he defends. Ah Doherty I love it.”

      Tottenham’s Pedro Porro transfer explained as it is revealed Sporting Lisbon star is joining on loan

      by

      PEDRO PORRO’S deal to Tottenham is a loan with an obligation to buy.Spurs are believed to be paying Sporting a loan fee of £4.4million with an obligation in of £37.3m.
      Pedro Porro will make his switch to Tottenham initially on loanCredit: Getty
      It is similar to the deal Spurs pulled off for World Cup-winning centre-back Cristian Romero from Juventus in 2021.
      The transfer for right-back Porro looked on the brink of collapsing before deadline day.
      His Portuguese club were reluctant to sanction the move until they were happy with the finances involved in the package.
      However, now that has been ironed out, Porro will undergo his medical ahead of the move.
      READ MORE IN FOOTBALL
      And he WILL be able to play in Tottenham’s last-16 Champions League clash against AC Milan next month.
      That is despite the wing-back already featuring for Sporting Lisbon in the competition this season – playing against his new club Spurs.
      But due to Uefa’s registration rules, he will be eligible to turn out in the San Siro for Antonio Conte on Valentine’s Day.
      Manchester City expect to earn a tidy £10m windfall from Sporting Lisbon when Porro completes his permanent move to the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in the summer.
      Most read in Football
      BETTING SPECIAL – BEST OFFERS FOR EXISTING CUSTOMERS
      When City sold Porro to Sporting for £11m last summer – although only £7m has been paid so far – they included a clause in the deal that entitled them to 30 per cent of the profit that the Portuguese club made from the full-back’s next move.
      And with the profit Sporting will make on Porro possibly rising to as much as £34m, City could get £10m of that.
      Sporting are closing in on a permanent deal for ex-Arsenal defender Hector Bellerin as a replacement for Porro.
      Porro’s arrival in North London made way for Matt Doherty to join Atletico Madrid while summer signing Djed Spence could go out on loan, if a deal can be done in time.
      The 22-year-old has been in talks with Ligue 1 side Rennes where he could team up with fellow Spurs bench-warmer Joe Rodon. More

      Shock stats show Arsenal might have pulled off masterstroke with Jorginho transfer with midfielder BETTER than Caicedo

      by

      ARSENAL finally turned their back on Moises Caicedo and opted for a cut-price swoop for Jorginho instead – and it could prove a masterstroke.The Gunners saw bids of £60million and £70m rejected by Brighton as Caicedo, 21, failed to secure a move despite publicly begging to be sold.

      And while Arsenal were reportedly lining up a third offer of £75m on deadline day, they have now agreed a deal with London rivals Chelsea to sign Jorginho, 31, for just £12m.
      He may not have been Mikel Arteta’s first choice, but the Italy international is a world-class operator who will push Granit Xhaka, 30, and Thomas Partey, 29, for a starting place.
      New stats have even revealed he could be a better option than both Partey and Caicedo.
      Since the start of the 2021-22 Premier League season, Jorginho has played seven games more than Partey and 21 more than Caicedo.
      READ MORE ON ARSENAL
      His penalty expertise has seen him register eight goals, more than his two counterparts have managed between them (Partey 4 and Caicedo 2).
      And the Italian also has two assists to his name – with neither Caicedo (2) or Partey (1) bettering that tally.
      But that’s only scratching the surface when it comes to Jorginho’s impressive numbers.
      Out of the three midfield maestros, he also completes the most passes per game, has the best pass completion rate and registers the most passes in the final third.

      How Jorginho, Partey and Caicedo compare since the start of last season
      Moises Caicedo appears to have missed out on a move to Arsenal this monthCredit: Getty
      Jorginho dwarfs Partey and Caicedo when it comes to possessions won per game, while he also beats the Ghanaian when it comes to tackles and interceptions.
      In fact, there are only three statistical areas which show the ex-Chelsea man’s weaknesses.
      He comes up short in distance carried – an area which Partey beats him by an average of 14 metres.
      Jorginho, who is a decade older than Caicedo, is dribbled past more than the pair, and his duel success is also the lowest.
      But overall the figures are overwhelmingly in favour of the Euro 2020 winner.
      And his price tag also means Arsenal have saved themselves a large sum of money – particularly given Brighton were asking for £80m for Caicedo.
      Jorginho could make his debut for the Gunners away at Everton on Sunday.
      If he is not ready in time, his first game will then come at home to Brentford on February 11. More

      Man City flop Kalvin Phillips wanted by three Premier League clubs on loan transfer including Everton

      by

      SEAN DYCHE is one of three managers to ask about taking Kalvin Phillips on loan – but Manchester City are refusing to do business.New Everton chief Dyche saw Phillips as the ideal midfield general to spearhead their survival fight, and hoped his lack of game time at the Etihad meant a deal could be struck.

      Yet despite a nightmare first few months at Man City – injuries and fitness struggles have limited him to one start and seven cameos off the bench – Pep Guardiola said no-go.
      Rodri has nailed down the defensive midfield role and has made more starts than anyone at the club.
      But Guardiola believes Phillips, a £42million summer buy from Leeds, will have an important part to play in a hectic schedule when the Champions League returns.
      Leeds also asked about taking him back to Elland Road for the rest of the season, as did West Ham, who lost out to City when he moved in August.
      READ MORE IN FOOTBALL
      Phillips is yet to start a Premier League game for City and has not registered a goal contribution in any of his eight appearances.
      After the World Cup, Guardiola accused the England midfielder of returning to the club overweight.
      He said: “He’s not injured – he arrived overweight.
      “I don’t know [why]. He didn’t arrive in the condition to do training sessions and to play.”

      But less than a week later, the Spanish coach insisted Phillips was back in shape.
      Guardiola said: “He has the perfect body now – so sexy. We will see for the weekend.
      “He has spent the first part of the season out with surgery to arrive for the World Cup – and did everything to get to the World Cup.
      “It’s not just about just being fit you also have to understand what we want to do, the movements etc.
      “So that means, as quick as possible, because Rodri cannot play all the games, so as quick as possible he he will play.
      “But I’m happy that yesterday for example Kalvin trained really well and sooner or later he will play.” More
