It appears Robin van Persie is leaving the EPL for a move to Turkish club Fenerbahce. Van Persie's agent, Kees Vos, spent two days in Istanbul with the Turkish club negotiating a fair deal for the Dutch striker.
With all the buzz about Raheem Sterling and Morgan Schneiderlin being shipped around England, one of the Three Lion’s best has been sent out of the country. Former Manchester United midfielder and member of the infamous class of ’92, Phillip Neville, has brought his talents to Spain and Valencia.
What a week it's been for Jordan Henderson. The 25-year-old midfielder was officially named Steven Gerrard's replacement as Liverpool captain Friday.
That same day, it was also announced that Henderson had won a fan vote to join Lionel Messi on the cover of the U.K. version of FIFA 16.
Manchester United and Bayern Munich have officially confirmed the transfer of midfielder and German World Cup winner Bastian Schweinsteiger. Ignoring the German’s age, this has been one of van Gaal’s best transfers since announcing Di Maria’s contract last year, but will Schweinsteiger be the answer to Manchester United’s problems?
Louis van Gaal is either a genius or just another kid that wants to put the winger with 5 star skill moves at striker in FIFA. Only time will tell.
Van Gaal has come out and said that he plans to play new acquisition Memphis Depay at striker next year, and that doing so is more than a reaction to the departures of Radamel Falcao and Robin van Persie.
Can’t wait for Eden Hazard to return to Stamford Bridge as reigning champion? Or Lionel Messi to break more records than anyone thought possible? Well look no further, Guinness and the International Champions Cup have you covered from July 'til August with top-flight clubs from multiple leagues battling in North America for the Champions Cup as they prepare for their domestic seasons.
Short answer: Quite a lot!
It has definitely been a journey for Liverpool fans since the end of the 2013-2014 season. To cope with the loss of Luis Suarez, who found his way to Barcelona, Liverpool invested over £115 millions in the new squad, signing 8 new first-team players; a lot of activity and change for Brendan Rodgers’ squad; change that did not end in the hoped for success.
When Real Madrid signed Cristiano Ronaldo from Manchester United in 2009, the entire city lost their minds as they knew they had just completed the transfer of one of the worlds best forwards. The Bernabeu was filled with Madridistas cheering on Ronaldo as he walked down a long platform in the number 9 shirt.
According to a study by former Barcelona Chief Marketing and Commercial Officer Esteve Cazada, Raheem Sterling is the most valuable young player in Europe.
The study, conducted by Cazada's company, Soccerex, valued Sterling at 35 million pounds. Liverpool rejected a bid at that number from Manchester City recently.
PSG defender Marquinhos was second on the list, followed by Memphis Depay of Manchester United, Domenico Berardi of Sassuolo and Jose Maria Jimenez of Atletico Madrid.
Jose Mourinho has made numerous statements during his second spell at the bridge about how quiet the stadium is during match day. Chelsea have become one of the most popular teams in Europe and the Premier League, and with only 45,000 seats, tickets are in high demand. Because of this, ticket prices go up and only spectators with deep pockets are able to get their hands on a ticket.
