The most sought after midfielder in the world, Paul Pogba, will not go to Barcelona this summer, according to former Barcelona President and current Barcelona presidential candidate Josep Maria Bartomeu.
"This year we will not sign Pogba because he is not part of our sporting plans,” Bartomeu told Marca.
Gareth Bale is really happy that Sony Mobile are sponsoring the Champions League.
In a new video, he's shown giving his support for Sony Mobile as the new Champions League sponsors before hitting a trick shot with a basketball (he kicked it, obviously).
Why he did this, we can only speculate. The shot was cool, though.
Paul Pogba might be in the Blaugrana in two seasons.
According to Italian newspaper Gazzetta dello Sport, representatives from Barcelona and Juventus sat down to lunch and hammered out a deal to transfer the 22-year-old midfielder from the Champions League runner-ups to the champs.
Because Barcelona are under a trensfer ban, the move would take place next summer, Pogba commanding a fee of $112 million.
The buzz surrounding Sergio Ramos’ departure from Real Madrid has all signs pointing to him arriving at Old Trafford with Manchester United. The club’s back three or four, depending on van Gaal’s formation, has been criticized throughout the entire season with Marco Rojo, Chris Smalling, and Phil Jones stumbling to make a solid partnership during the year.
Look out world, or at least Turkey. Turkish club Antalyaspor has announced the signing of Barcelona and Brazil national team legend Ronaldinho, to be made official within the next few days.
Did we mention that Antalyaspor already has Samuel Eto'o committed for next year?
He also alluded to a third big-name signing, so let the speculation begin. We think it'll either be Didier Drogba, or someone who played with Ronaldinho and Eto'o at Barcelona, like Carles Puyol or Rafa Marquez.
Lionel Messi is 28 years old.
Depending on when you became a fan of soccer, that will strike you in a certain way. If you fell in love with the game around 2005 or 2006, you will probably not be able to believe your ears. “I remember when he played with Ronaldinho!” you’ll say — as in back when Ronaldinho was good. Yeah, that long ago — he has aged quite a lot in that time. He’s a man now, not a boy, not even a young man.
The highlight of Chicharito's Real Madrid career has to be the goal he scored against city-rivals Atletico Madrid during the second leg of the quarterfinals of the UEFA Champions League.
That strike in the 88th minute took Real Madrid to the semifinal against Juventus. Thanks to the hard work of their Mexican forward, Los Blancos had finally defeated their tough as nails hometown rivals.
With that strike, Chicharito had proven himself an asset to Real Madrid’s season, a season that saw him for the most part banished to the bench.
Jerome Boateng believed he would beat Barcelona when he walked on the field on the 6th of May, 2015. He was a part of one of the greatest teams in the world, a German machine that had just completed a ludicrous second leg comeback against FC Porto.
It is no secret that Manchester United want a center back. After an offseason last year that saw them bolster their attack and ignore their defense like a frat brother skipping leg day, Manchester United often inspired anxiety rather than faith whenever its back line fell under pressure. In order to remedy that — and add years to their supporters’ lives in the process — they are now rumored to be looking into Real Madrid center back Sergio Ramos.
Barcelona can’t stop winning trophies.
Yesterday, Sergio Busquests said he believes Barcelona can win the treble every year.
