Liverpool legend Sadio Mane left the club in 2022 to pursue a new chapter in his career with Bayern Munich after helping the Reds reach a third Champions League Final. Mane struggled at Bayern with injuries and form, as he was unfairly asked to switch from the left wing to striker as Robert Lewandowski's replacement. A declining Mane then left to the emerging Saudi Pro League, joining forces with Cristiano Ronaldo at Al-Nassr. Unfortunately, Mane's tenure in Saudi Arabia has not been as fruitful as Cristiano's. Whereas the latter is adding to his record goal-scoring tally, Mane has been good but not excellent, scoring 13 goals with 8 assists in a stat line even lower than his prime years at Liverpool. As such, Fotomac reports that Besiktas are now circling Sadio Mane as a possible...

Manchester United made a handful of major signings this summer, and the one who may most immediately boost the club's fortunes is former PSG defensive midfielder Manuel Ugarte. The Casemiro replacement next to phenom Kobbie Mainoo, Ugarte had been Man United's top midfield target all along this past summer, and he became a guaranteed transfer when PSG went for Benfica's Joao Neves as the Uruguayan's replacement. But Manchester United could use one more midfielder as a boost this season, and they can still sign free agents even after the transfer window has ended. The best free agent available is another former PSG midfielder, Adrien Rabiot, who most recently played for Juventus. A starter for the French national team, Rabiot has been hotly linked to Manchester United for years and...

Bayern Munich superstar Jamal Musiala has become the biggest topic of conversation around the Bundesliga coming out of the international break, and that's because of a controversial column posted by noted troll hot-take artist Didi Hamann; it's become easy to forget that Hamann is taken seriously based on the credential of being a former star player at big clubs like Liverpool and Bayern. Hamann's latest target was one of the most popular and talented players in world football, Bayern's crown jewel Musiala. The attacking midfielder is viewed as being a gem on the level of Lamine Yamal or Jude Bellingham, yet Hamann thinks Musiala shouldn't even be compared to Bayer Leverkusen peer Florian Wirtz. He made the case that Bayern Munich should replace Musiala with Wirtz, in light of transf...

Brighton Women have ambitions of rising up the table in the FA WSL and eventually making it to European competition, much in the same way their men's team made it to the Europa League in the 2023/24 season after several shrewd signings.

According to a report from Tom Garry of The Guardian, Brighton are now in advanced talks with Manchester United for the signing of 30-year-old right winger Nikita Parris.

Arsenal are one of the biggest clubs in European football, and in recent years, they have shown a renewed willingness to spend and return to the summit of both English football and Europe as a whole. In the past two summers, Arsenal have made two high-profile midfield signings in Declan Rice and Mikel Merino. Rice cost the club over a 100 million euros, as Arsenal needed to spend big in order to make sure they signed the West Ham star over title rivals Manchester City. There's no doubt that Rice was a big splash, but is he the biggest in the history of Arsenal midfield transfers? And where does the 32 million euro deal for Real Sociedad's Mikel Merino rank? Here are the top 10 most expensive midfield additions in Arsenal history. All prices are courtesy of Transfermarkt. 10. Sant...
