According to transfer analyst Matteo Moretto, Davide Calabria may decide to leave his 11-season tenure at San Siro, and his future at Milan is far from assured as talks to extend his contract are stalled. As one of Milan’s captains at the moment, Calabria has started for the Rossoneri on a regular basis for a number of seasons. However, this summer, the club signed Emerson Royal from Tottenham, which forced Calabria to compete for a spot at right-back. According to Moretto’s Caught Offside Daily Briefing blog, Calabria’s current contract with Milan expires in June 2025, and negotiations with the club…

Nearly 11 months have passed since Gavi had a devastating knee injury while representing Spain. Following the incident in November of last year, in which he suffered a rupture of his anterior cruciate ligament and meniscus injury, the 20-year-old has been gradually returning to full fitness. Gavi’s recuperation is very much coming to an end. He participated in many training sessions with his teammates last month, and Marca reports that this happened again on Friday, in preparation for this weekend’s trip to Alaves. If all goes according to plan, Gavi will return soon. His current plan, according to the club,…
On Saturday, Barcelona was defeated 4-2 by Osasuna in a match in which Hansi Flick made crucial substitutions that ultimately backfired. With an average age of 23 years and 292 days, the Catalans fielded their youngest starting lineup in a La Liga game since October 7, 1995, but El Sadar was just not the right venue for it. Before the game, Flick argued that “we need to rotate,” and he wasn’t incorrect. However, he made too many substitutions against a squad that had a winning record at home and had quality up front in the form of Bryan Zaragoza and…
Midfielder and third captain Frenkie de Jong is set to make his eagerly awaited comeback after a protracted five-month injury layoff, which is a huge boost for FC. The gifted 27-year-old hasn’t played since April due to an ankle injury he suffered during a tough match against Real Madrid. The Dutch international chose not to have surgery and has been assiduously completing his rehabilitation. Last week, he returned to training, which was enthusiastically received by both teammates and supporters. Even if it was hoped that De Jong would play this past week against Getafe or Osasuna, such plans did not…
When Paris Saint-Germain failed to sign a comparable player to replace Kylian Mbappé (25), who left to sign a free transfer to Real Madrid, many may have been taken aback during the summer transfer window. But with Bradley Barcola’s (22) strong start to the current campaign, Les Parisiens’ decision to forgo hiring a left winger may have shown to be correct. In the summer of 2023, the former Lyon winger joined the Ligue 1 winners, leaving his childhood club. Because there was fierce rivalry at the time for spots in Luis Enrique’s front three, Les Gones supporters were perplexed by…

Dortmund needed some good energy going into the game after suffering a 5-1 loss to Stuttgart the previous time out, but they got off to the worst possible start when Matúš Bero scored the first goal of a strong counterattack by Bochum on a windy evening at Signal Iduna Park. Even worse, the noisy home fans began to jeer and hoot after Dani de Wit scored the visitors’ second goal via an open net due to Gregor Kobel’s poor pass. Although it appeared that Dortmund would be in a significant deficit at the end of the first half, Serhou Guirassy…

With victories of 5-1 and 1-0 over Villarreal and Getafe in the Spanish top division, La Blaugrana have recovered from their disappointing Champions League loss to Monaco.

Osasuna manager Vicente Moreno hasn’t beaten Barca in four previous meetings as a manager, losing three and drawing one across his time at Mallorca and Espanyol. The 49-year-old has a…
Transfer analyst Fabrizio Romano has stated that, in contrast to recent claims, Barcelona is not working on a deal for Aston Villa forward Jhon Duran. The 20-year-old Duran has scored four goals in five Premier League games this season, all while starting on the bench for Aston Villa. The youthful Colombian attacker, meanwhile, has only made one appearance in the League Cup and has scored one goal. Because of Duran’s strong start to the season, there were rumors in his native country that Barcelona was fond of the young attacker. Fabrizio Romano has since emphasized, nevertheless, that the rumors that…
