Rumors
Keita Set for Showdown Talks

Liverpool have been eyeing hulls’ Andy Robertson as a possible replacement for the player.

The two clubs are already involved in a tug of war over 61mil Alex Sandro with Antonio Conte trying to prise the left back away from his former club. Reports suggest that the Turin based side had all but signed the player but Chelsea have moved in an are looking to hijack the deal with a 30mil bid. The 25 year old previously expressed his desire to stay at Real Madrid but he seems to be reconsidering following interest from the two clubs.
Donnarumma in Transfer Dilemma
The wonder-kid goalkeeper Gianluigi Donnarumma has had a change of heart about him departing AC Milan. The 18 year old player had a rethink at the recently concluded Euro U-21 cup and has decided he wants to remain at the club and is willing to reopen contract talks. The Italian internationals’ agent had previously stated his clients desire to leave the club with interest from a host of European clubs. Ac Milan are willing to extend his stay at San Siro but are not willing to increase the 167,000 a week deal that was initially offered to the player. Manchester United, Paris Saint Germain and Real Madrid are still monitoring the situation to see if they can prise the top target away from the club.
Everton Moves Ahead in Giroud Race
Everton's new boss, Ronald Koeman, has shown he is not shy to following the big money arrivals of Jordan Pickford, Davy Klassen and wonderkid Henry Onyekuru and he has now set his sights on Arsenals’ old gun, Olivier Giroud. The French striker impressed last season with 17 goals for Arsenal and also securing a starting berth in france star studded frontline, but the strikers future at the Emirates remains uncertain following reports linking compatriot Alexandre Lacazette and teenage sensation Kylian Mbappe to the club.

It is so crazy that in the USA there soccer is not that big, but outside the world Loves this sport. I was in Chile in 2015 when the US played Chile. They got really into it, and when the US almost won I thought they were going to take a swing at me.
