Mercato : Adrien Rabiot (PSG) serait décidé à rejoindre le Barça
Selon Mundo Deportivo, Adrien Rabiot souhaiterait rejoindre Barcelone. Le transfert du milieu de terrain du PSG ne devrait pas se faire en-dessous de 40 millions d'euros.
Adrien Rabiot voudrait changer d'air. Le joueur de 23 ans aurait du mal à digérer l'épisode ayant précédé la Coupe du monde, quand il n'avait pas été convoqué par Didier Deschamps dans la liste des vingt-trois et qu'il avait donc refusé son statut de réserviste. Une grande frustration qu'il souhaiterait évacuer en rejoignant le FC Barcelone, selon les informations du Mundo Deportivo. Rabiot aurait repoussé toutes les propositions du PSG pour prolonger son contrat, toujours d'après le quotidien pro-catalan. Un facteur qui pourrait inciter le club de la capitale à accepter le départ du milieu de terrain. Ce dernier étant lié à Paris jusqu'en 2019, il pourrait donc partir gratuitement l'été prochain s'il restait au club sans prolonger.
Un transfert à 40M€ minimum
Pour faire preuve de l'intérêt concret du Barça, les dirigeants barcelonais Pep Segura et Eric Abidal se seraient rendus à Paris pour rencontrer Antero Henrique, explique le média catalan. Le champion d'Espagne serait déjà proche d'un accord avec Rabiot, mais doit encore trouver un terrain d'entente avec le PSG. Le deal ne devrait pas se faire à moins de 40M€, affirme Mundo Deportivo. De son côté, Rabiot aurait donné sa priorité à Barcelone - malgré un supposé intérêt de la Juventus -, mais doit encore rencontrer Nasser Al-Khelaïfi. Les discussions sont loin d'être terminées mais la porte de sortie semble entrouverte pour l'international français.

Ex-Mainzer Leon Balogun glücklich über WM-Teilnahme
Foto: Imago/Focus Images
Bei seinem neuen Club in der englischen Premier League, Brighton & Hove Albion, reflektiert der Deutsch-Nigerianer Leon Balogun über seine WM-Teilnahme mit Nigeria in Russland. Dabei kommt er insgesamt zu einem positiven Rückblick, obwohl sein Team durch ein spätes Gegentor von Argentinien die Gruppenphase nicht überstand. Doch nachdem er bei der WM 2014 früh mit einer Verletzung ausschied und viele zweifelten, ob er überhaupt nochmal ins Nationalteam von Nigeria zurückkehren würde, überwiegt bei ihm die Zufriedenheit, bei der WM 2018 wieder dabei gewesen zu sein – und diesmal alle drei Spiele absolviert zu haben.
Leon Balogun froh über seine Erinnerungen von der WM 2018
Erst in diesem Sommer war der in Berlin geborene Innenverteidiger erstmals ins Ausland gewechselt, nachdem er zuvor schon eine Menge Stationen im deutschen Profifußball hinter sich hatte. Von Hannover 96 ging es über Werder Bremen und Fortuna Düsseldorf zum FSV Mainz 05, bei dem er nun nach drei Saisons seine Zelte mit dem Ziel England abbrach.
Für seinen neuen Club hat er naturgemäß noch kein Pflichtspiel absolviert, äußert sich aber im Gespräch mit der Webseite des Clubs dazu, dass die WM 2018 letztlich doch ein tolles Erlebnis für ihn gewesen sei. Er durfte in Lionel Messi gegen den besten Spieler der Welt antreten. Er hatte die Gelegenheit, seine Eltern mit zur WM zu nehmen und die Atmosphäre sei schlicht „amazing“ gewesen, sodass er eine Menge Erinnerungen sammeln konnte.
Saison der Premier League beginnt bald
Zwar sei das späte Tor von Argentinien immer noch wie ein Stich ins Herz für ihn. Doch im gesamten Rückblick überwiege eben das Positive an seinem Russland-Trip in diesem Sommer. Zudem gehe das Leben nun mal weiter und er sei froh über die gemachten Erfahrungen, die er für den Rest seines Lebens behalten werde.
Nun werde er sich aber auf sein Debüt bei seinem neuen Club Brighton & Hove Albion konzentrieren. Das erste Spiel der neuen Saison der Premier League mit dem Auswärtsauftritt beim FC Watford werfe bereits seine Schatten voraus. Nun gelte es, sich möglichst schnell ins neue Team zu integrieren und last not least eine möglichst erfolgreiche Saison zu spielen.
No Lozano: Chelsea should turn to Keita Balde instead
According to Talk Sport, reporting via Eindhovens Dagblad, PSV are confident of maintaining the services of Hirving Lozano for the upcoming Eredivisie campaign.
The report claims that Chelsea, amongst others, were interested in signing the left-winger this summer, but now it appears that no agreement between the Blues and the Dutch outfit shall be reached.
Lozano would have been an exciting addition to the Premier League, and would arrive in great form off the back of an impressive World Cup campaign with Mexico.
With the deal now looking dead though, Chelsea boss Maurizio Sarri must take his search for left flank reinforcements elsewhere.
Keita Balde, currently plying his trade in Ligue 1 with Monaco, would make an excellent alternative target to Lozano and would add a new dimension to the wide options currently in place at Stamford Bridge.
Keita enjoyed a solid debut campaign with Monaco last season, scoring 8 goals and making 11 assists for the principality club in all competitions. The season before, with Lazio in Serie A, the Senegal international netted 16 league goals across the course of the term.
Keita is exactly the kind of left-winger that Chelsea seem to be after – in the Lozano mould. He has also proven his ability in both the French and Italian top flights, which has to be taken as a greater assurance of quality than Lozano’s experiences in Mexico and the Netherlands.
Keita, at only 23-years-old, scores and creates goals, and his pace and trickery are a nightmare for opposition defenders to try and cope with.
Transfermarkt value the Monaco man at £27 million, the same valuation they have placed upon Lozano. So, for a similar price for what they’d pay for the Mexican, Chelsea could bring in the altogether more proven quantity in Keita instead this summer.
Marc Cardona se va cedido a la Sociedad Deportiva Eibar
El delantero de Lleida y atacante del filial azulgrana llega a la capital guipuzcoana como segunda incorporación del equipo de José Luis Mendilíbar de cara a progresar y coger más rodaje en Primera División.
Continúan los movimientos en el mercado de fichajes estival para el conjunto azulgrana. Después de la revolución que ha habido en el equipo dirigido por Francisco Javier García Pimienta, la cantera cobra importancia en una plantilla en la que se siguen puliendo detalles de cara a comenzar la andadura en Segunda División B. El siguiente en embarcar en un nuevo proyecto ha sido el delantero de Lleida, Marc Cardona, que asume el rol de segunda incorporación en el equipo vasco después de que el club haya oficializado el acuerdo que incluye la cesión del atacante con una opción de compra.
Después de haber jugado durante dos temporadas en las filas azulgranas, Marc Cardona afronta el reto de jugar en Primera División a sabiendas de que ya debutó con el primer equipo del Fútbol Club Barcelona cuando Luis Enrique Martínez estaba al frente del banquillo. Marc Cardona se marcha del filial azulgrana en busca de más rodaje, en calidad de cedido y después de haber disputado 60 partidos y haber demostrado su calidad ofensiva con 24 goles. El atacante catalán llega como una estrella al conjunto de José Luis Mendilíbar y así lo han anunciado sendos equipos.
La incorporación del jugador catalán es inminente. Marc Cardona ya ha pasado reconocimiento médico y está previsto que participe en su primera sesión de entrenamiento con sus nuevos compañeros el próximo viernes a las 10:30 horas en Atxabalpe.
El futbolista se incorporará a una nueva dinámica después de haber aceptado la propuesta de la Sociedad Deportiva Eibar y después de haber recibido otras ofertas de distintos equipos de Segunda División como el Real Oviedo. De esta forma, Marc Cardona da un salto cualitativo en su carrera y jugará en la máxima categoría con el conjunto armero teniendo 23 años y siendo una referencia ofensiva.
New York Red Bulls 2, New England Revolution 0 | 2018 MLS Match Recap
Danny Royer and Bradley Wright-Phillips scored in the second half to lift the New York Red Bulls over the New England Revolution, 2-0, on a rainy Saturday night at Red Bull Arena.
Royer broke the stalemate in the 69th minute with his fifth goal of the season, tapping in a free kick by Marc Rzatkowski at the back post after Claude Dielna fouled Tyler Adams.
The Red Bulls No. 99 scored career goal No. 99 as Wright-Phillips latched onto a perfect service by Kaku and headed past Matt Turner to double the Red Bulls lead in the 80th minute.
It was Wright-Phillips’ 13th goal of the season and Kaku’s league-leading 12th assist.
The Revs best chance came in the 36th minute when Diego Fagundez found space down the right and sent a dangerous ball just outside the six-yard box. But Luis Robles did well to deny Teal Bunbury from point-blank range.
Goals
Three Things
- THE BIG PICTURE: The Red Bulls continued their dominance at Red Bull Arena and deserved the three points with another strong second half, while the Revs have lost three straight games for the first time in a calendar year.
- MOMENT OF THE MATCH: In a combative match lacking a lot of flow, it was bound to come down to a set piece and what a ball Rzatkowski played in for the game’s decisive goal.
- MAN OF THE MATCH: Rzatkowski struck for a brace in a come-from-behind 3-2 win over Sporting Kansas City a week ago and had the game-winning assist vs. the Revs. He’s forcing Chris Armas to keep him

Philadelphia Union 1, LA Galaxy 3 | 2018 MLS Match Recap
CHESTER, Pa.—Not even a cross-country trip, a driving rainstorm and a feisty opponent could slow down Zlatan Ibrahimovic and the LA Galaxy.
On Saturday night in front of a big Talen Energy Stadium that crowd that braved some nasty weather, Ibrahimovic had a goal and an assist to lead the Galaxy to a 3-1 come-from-behind win over the Philadelphia Union.
Ibrahimovic’s winner came in the 63rd minute, on a great cutback move and feed from halftime sub Romain Alessandrini, after the Swedish star set up the equalizer earlier in the half with a clever through ball to Ola Kamara.
Michael Ciani iced the win with an 82nd-minute goal as the Galaxy extended their unbeaten streak to seven and winning streak to three.
Midway through the first half, CJ Sapong broke a scoreless drought for the Union, netting his first goal since April with a redirection of a Borek Dockal cross.
Goals
- 29' — PHI — CJ Sapong | WATCH
- 48' — LA — Ola Kamara | WATCH
- 63' — LA — Zlatan Ibrahimovic | WATCH
- 82' — LA — Michael Ciani | WATCH
Three Things
- THE BIG PICTURE: For the second straight week, the Galaxy rallied from behind to win a game on the other side of the country — a good, sign, surely, looking ahead to the playoff race. The Union, meanwhile, lost for the first time in seven tries this season in which they held a lead.
- MOMENT OF THE MATCH: The winning goal was a thing of beauty as Ibrahimovic’s fantastic finish came after perfect balls from Jonathan dos Santos and Alessandrini.
- MAN OF THE MATCH: The fans who came to Talen Energy Stadium to see Zlatan were treated to a show. After not making the trip to New England last weekend, LA’s star attraction was active all night and could have another goal if not for a sparkling save from Andre Blake.

Chicago Fire 1, Toronto FC 2 | 2018 MLS Match Recap
Sebastian Giovinco and Jonathan Osorio both scored after halftime to lift Toronto FC to a desperately needed 2-1 victory over the Chicago Fire at Toyota Park on Saturday evening.
Michael Bradley picked up an assist on a night both Jozy Altidore and Victor Vazquez returned from injury, as a TFC side that has struggled mightily in 2018 offered a performance of 2017 vintage.
In the process, the Reds snapped a six-match winless streak as they try to stay alive in the Eastern Conference playoff race. They began the evening 11 points beneath the playoff line.
Nemanja Nikolic scored his 10th goal of the season off a set piece, but couldn't prevent Chicago from falling to an MLS-worst sixth home loss of the season. Only Colorado have suffered as many as five home defeats in 2018.
Goals
- 47' - TOR - Sebastian Giovinco | Watch
- 62' - CHI - Nemanja Nikolic | Watch
- 65' - TOR - Jonathan Osorio | Watch
Three Things
- THE BIG PICTURE: It's still a mighty long climb back into serious playoff contention, but Toronto will have to be encouraged by the number of projected preseason starters who made their way onto the field. Particularly impressive was Altidore's 80-minute shift in his first match action since late April. However, some think Altidore was fortunate not to draw a Video Review for the aftermath of Jorge Corrales' foul on him late in the first half.
- MOMENT OF THE MATCH: Giovinco hit a crisp finish two minutes after halftime to open the scoring. But how about the service from Bradley deep in his own end to set up the goal?
- MAN OF THE MATCH: Osorio showed composure in letting defenders lunge by him before finishing off his winner from very close. Then he showed more as a key link in Toronto's attacking end as the Reds killed off the game by keeping most of the ball over the final 15 minutes.

Seattle Sounders 2, Vancouver Whitecaps 0 | 2018 MLS Match Recap
Nicolas Lodeiro scored twice before halftime for his third and fourth goals of the season, and the Seattle Sounders defeated Cascadia Cup rivals Vancouver Whitecaps, 2-0, on Saturday afternoon to boost their dwindling playoff hopes.
Facing a Whitecaps side without Alphonso Davies on the 18-man roster, Lodeiro seized upon the visitors' mistakes. Doneil Henry's handball in the area resulted in his opener from the penalty spot. Goalkeeper Stefan Marinovic badly misplayed his second goal from distance with a dive that at first suggested the shot had been deflected.
Vancouver eventually finished with 10 men after Efrain Juarez was sent off for making contact with referee Chris Penso during an argument.
Sounders striker Raul Ruidiaz made his MLS debut in the second half, putting in a 29-minute shift. But Seattle lost attacking midfielder Victor Rodriguez to an injury just before halftime.
Goals
Three Things
- THE BIG PICTURE: This was an absolute must-win for Seattle if they are to mount a late charge back toward the playoff places. The Sounders began the weekend 11 points beneath the playoff line with only 16 matches remaining. As for Vancouver, if rumors of Davies heading to Europe are true, the 'Caps need to avoid these kinds of self-inflicted wounds.
- MOMENT OF THE MATCH: The highest quality first-half opportunity in open play actually belonged to Vancouver, but Henry couldn't direct his header on frame after an initial header by Kendall Waston. Had he converted, the match might've looked much different heading into the second half.
- MAN OF THE MATCH: Lodeiro's brace was his second in league play, after he hit the net twice in a 3-0 win against Colorado on the final day of the 2017 season. He also scored twice in Seattle's 3-0 victory over FC Dallas in Leg 1 of the 2016 Western Conference semifinals.

Atlanta United 3, DC United 1 | 2018 MLS Match Recap
Josef Martinez continued his torrid goalscoring pace, picking up a historic hat trick as Atlanta United returned to winning ways with a 3-1 victory over Wayne Rooney and D.C. United.
It wasn't all smooth sailing for the league-leading Five Stripes, though. After a brief spell of early pressure from Atlanta, D.C. drew first blood in the eighth minute. The goal came on the counterattack as Paul Arriola sprang Zoltan Stieber with a through ball to the right that the Hungarian put away for his fourth tally of the season.
Atlanta would equalize just before the half-hour mark through Martinez, the runaway MLS Golden Boot leader. A minute after he was denied on the breakaway by D.C. 'keeper David Ousted, Martinez beat the experienced 'keeper to the ball to head home a cross from from Hector Villalba following some slick buildup play.
Martinez bagged his second of the game less than 10 minutes after the re-start, finding himself in the right place at the right time to head home a deflected cross at the far post for his 21st of the season. He would collect his hat trick on the counter after Miguel Almiron's through ball was blocked but fell kindly to the Venezuelan, who comfortably rounded Ousted to bag his sixth career hat trick in MLS, a league record.
The game also saw Ben Olsen start Rooney for the first time since the English star joined the club, though he was replaced by Darren Mattocks after a fairly quiet 66 minutes. On the Atlanta side of things, Ezequiel Barco was dropped from the 18 by head coach Gerardo 'Tata' Martino, who handed young phenom Andrew Carleton his first start.
Goals
- 8' – DC – Zoltan Stieber | Watch
- 29' – ATL – Josef Martinez | Watch
- 54' – ATL – Josef Martinez | Watch
- 73' – ATL – Josef Martinez | Watch
Three Things
- THE BIG PICTURE: After picking up a point from their last two games, Atlanta are back in the win column and on a hugely impressive 2 points per game pace. They'll have to be feeling good about their Supporters' Shield chances, though New York City FC and FC Dallas will be breathing down their neck if they win their games later Saturday evening. At the individual level, Martinez is now five goals away from a share of the single-season MLS goalscoring record and six away from holding it outright with 12 games left on the schedule. He'll have to like his chances. D.C., meanwhile, remain rooted to the bottom of the Eastern Conference, but play 14 of their remaining 18 games at home after opening Audi Field.
- MOMENT OF THE MATCH: With the game deadlocked late in the first half, Brad Guzancame up with a monster point-blank save on Luciano Acosta that saved Atlanta from an unhappy trip to the locker room and ultimately set the table for a much more comfortable second half.
- MAN OF THE MATCH: Nothing to debate here as the honors go to the hat trick hero, Josef Martinez.

Anthony Martial's Man United future: Jose Mourinho, Ed Woodward set for talks - sources
SANTA CLARA, Calif. -- Jose Mourinho and Ed Woodward are set for talks about Anthony Martial's Manchester United future, sources have told ESPN FC.
Mourinho does not want to keep a player who does not want to be at the club, but United's executive vice-chairman Woodward is reluctant to sell, sources said
In June, Martial's agent Philippe Lamboley claimed the Frenchman had decided to seek a transfer.
Sources said the player has become frustrated by a lack of playing time following Alexis Sanchez's arrival from Arsenal in January and because negotiations over a new contract have stalled.
Bayern Munich, Juventus and Chelsea are among the clubs interested but United will not consider selling to a Premier League rival.
While Mourinho is open to selling Martial, who scored 11 goals in 45 games last season, there are concerns among club chiefs that it could come back to haunt them if the 22-year-old goes on to fulfil his undoubted potential elsewhere.
Martial has one year left on his contract and United also hold an option to extend his deal by an additional 12 months, effectively tying him down until 2020.
Mourinho sees Martial's disquiet as an opportunity to bring in another winger, sources said. He is interested in Inter Milan's Ivan Perisic and Willian at Chelsea.
The United manager went on record last season to say he would not bring in another attacker this summer after securing Sanchez in January, but if Martial departs, there would be a opportunity to sign another forward.
Meanwhile, sources said United are ready to turn their attention to Leicester centre-back Harry Maguire after negotiations with Tottenham for Toby Alderweireld hit a stalemate.
Mourinho is keen to bring in a centre-back this summer and Maguire, Alderweireld and Bayern Munich's Jerome Boateng are all on the list.
“Panic is setting in”: Some Tottenham fans unimpressed with latest player linked with Spurs
Tottenham have not signed a single player this summer and the latest report from Corriere Della Sera claims that we are keeping a tab on Gonzalo Higuain as Juventus plan to sell their star striker.
The Old Lady have signed Cristiano Ronaldo from Real Madrid and they need to bring some cash into the club with the Argentine striker being surplus to requirements.
The 30-year-old might have had a great scoring record during his time in Italy but the Premier League might be a tough one for him to succeed in.
However, he is a fox in the box and could be a good option for us to have in the side. But his age is the problem and Juventus would be looking for a huge price for their striker.
A number of Spurs fans shared their opinion about Higuain coming in and here are some of the best reactions from Twitter.
AHAHAHHAA!
Plenty of time still! Where’s the faith boys!
You can tell the window is now coming to a close and panic is setting in...
This is the 34th different player we have been linked with since the start of July. 35th time lucky?
Are we signing him to run the cheese room ?
Considering? How about we just do it!!!
Here we go Higuain? Rumours now suggesting Spurs may bid for Juve forward Gonzalo? #COYS
