Sky share Milner update out of Liverpool

Speaking live on air, via Football Daily, Sky Sports have shared their own update on James Milner’s contract situation at Liverpool before Wednesday’s trip to Inter.

The Lowdown: Milner claims emerge…

Just recently, rumours surfaced of a fresh new deal offer on the table for Liverpool’s veteran midfielder.

[web_stories_embed url=”https://www.footballtransfertavern.com/web-stories/liverpool-latest-developments/” title=”Liverpool latest developments!” poster=”” width=”360″ height=”600″ align=”none”]

Indeed, as reported by transfer journalist and big name source Fabrizio Romano, the Anfield side are apparently locked in talks over fresh terms for Milner following the personal request of manager Jurgen Klopp.

The 36-year-old and Liverpool will apparently continue discussions over the next few weeks/months as attention now switches to Milner’s side.

Sky, sharing their own update, have slightly different news to report.

The Latest: Sky share Milner update…

According to the broadcast giant, via FD, Liverpool do indeed want to extend Milner’s deal – but no offer or talks have come to pass at this stage.

“Just want to bring you some news about James Milner,” Sky explained on live TV.

Jurgen Klopp has asked Liverpool to open talks with the England midfielder about a new contract.

“We’re told that there have been no discussions so far with the player’s representatives, so reports today that the club have made him an offer appear to be wide of the mark.”

The Verdict: Get it done?

Klopp wanting to keep Milner for another season on Merseyside speaks volumes over his ability and attitude behind-the-scenes.

Despite entering the twilight phase of his career, Liverpool’s ace has been used fairly regularly, making 16 Premier League appearances in total this season (WhoScored).

In that time, Milner has grabbed an assist whilst averaging the joint-fifth most tackles per 90 out of Liverpool’s squad (WhoScored) – proving himself a capable back-up option for Klopp.

Bearing this in mind, Liverpool have little to lose in granting their manager’s wish and agreeing a short extension with the player.

Finn and Strauss secure eight-wicket victory

In the end England’s eight-wicket victory came with ease on the final afternoon at Lord’s as they comfortably chased down 160 following Steven Finn’s first five-wicket haul in Test cricket

In the end England’s eight-wicket victory came with ease on the final afternoon at Lord’s as they comfortably chased down 160 following Steven Finn’s first five-wicket haul in Test cricket. Andrew Strauss guided the pursuit with a confident 82 after the visitors’ last five wickets fell for 35 under cloudy skies against Finn and Tim Bresnan, yet they have done much to enhance their standing over the last five days.With the ball new and the morning overcast the odds were always against Bangladesh delaying England long enough to put the result in serious doubt. It took ten overs to make the breakthrough but they then chipped away regularly to wrap up the innings on the stroke of lunch. Strauss and Alastair Cook were gifted a 60-run start by some woeful bowling and negative fielding settings. The only tension was to see whether the win would come before tea. Despite Kevin Pietersen playing out a maiden from Shakib Al Hasan some scurrying from the umpires ensured it did.However, without Finn England would have had serious problems dismissing Bangladesh twice in this match. The 21-year-old has led the bowling effort in both innings, impressing with his maturity, accuracy and stamina. Strauss gave him an eight-over spell on the final morning and he responded with three further wickets to earn a place on the honours board in his first Test on his home ground.Junaid Siddique and Shakib fought hard to survive and, as often happens when pressure builds, it was one of worst deliveries that made the breakthrough when Shakib cut a wide ball straight to Eoin Morgan at point. Siddique had again resisted stubbornly while England tried to pepper him with the short ball and the tactic could well have played a part in his demise as he tried to drive with his feet planted in the crease and popped a catch to mid off.That gave Finn his fourth and this time he wasn’t going to be denied a place on the board when he produced a beauty that climbed and took Mushfiqur Rahim’s outside edge. However, he couldn’t quite claim the scalp that would have made him the first since Ian Botham in 1978 to claim a 10-wicket match haul at Lord’s.James Anderson endured a frustrating morning as his rhythm continued to improve but was unable to add to his collection. He produced a testing nine-over burst and regularly beat the outside edge, but the closest he came to a breakthrough was when Bresnan spilled a tough chance at third slip off Mahmudullah.Mahmudullah, who is batting far too low even taking into account the nightwatchman, continued the defiance shown by many of his team-mates. He and Rubel Hossain resisted for 10 overs until Bresnan found Rubel’s edge as the No. 10 tried to leave the ball. It’s been a difficult match for Bresnan, and he came in for some guarded criticism from Andy Flower on the fourth evening, but he closed the innings when Mahmudullah had a wild heave in the last over before lunch and ended with 3 for 93.While Bangladesh’s batting is making huge strides, there progress will be held back by the weak pace bowling. Shahadat Hossain’s opening over went for 11 as he sprayed the ball wide at Strauss, while Rubel and Robiul were given an over apiece before spin came on from both ends.Mahmudullah removed Cook as the left hander was given out lbw on the front foot and replays showed the ball would have gone over the stumps for the second time in the game. Strauss, though, eased to his second fifty of the match from 50 balls – nothing more than a gentle net for the captain – while Jonathan Trott eked along at his own sedate pace before Strauss was caught behind cutting with 13 needed.The final result was as expected, yet Bangladesh can take great heart from the way they took the game five days and made England dig deep. Strauss and Flower will expect their side to be far more commanding in the second, at Old Trafford, on Friday but the visitors will have ambitions to make a mark of their own.

Matty Cash linked with Atletico transfer

Aston Villa have been particularly busy when it comes to adding new players to their squad during the January transfer window, with Calum Chambers being the latest addition.

However, with the summer transfer window in mind, it seems as though the Midlands club could be in danger of losing one of their key players.

What’s the news?

According to a recent report from The Sun, Villa right-back Matty Cash is in talks with Atletico Madrid over a potential permanent move this summer, with the Spanish champions’ manager Diego Simeone keen on finding a replacement for Kieran Trippier, who joined Newcastle United earlier this month.

The report also claims that the 24-year-old is among Atletico’s top targets and that they are willing to splash out a fee in the region of £30m-£40m during the summer transfer window for the full-back, who is apparently keen on the move.

Villa signed Cash in the summer of 2020 from Championship club Nottingham Forest in a deal worth an initial fee of £14m.

The defender has since become a crucial figure for Villa by making 51 appearances across all competitions, chipping in with one goal and three assists along the way.

Fans would be furious

Having played more Premier League minutes than anyone else for Villa this season, as well as earning an overall performance rating of 6.88/10, making him the fifth-highest rated player at the club according to WhoScored, it’s safe to say that Cash is an important player for Steven Gerrard’s side. Therefore, it would surely leave a lot of fans raging if they were to offload him any time soon.

Also, with the Poland international being the only player in Villa’s senior squad at the moment who predominantly plays in the right-back position, it would be a real howler from Johan Lange to let the 24-year-old leave without finding a suitable replacement first.

While it should be a certainty that Villa would not let Cash leave during the current transfer window, it would also be in the club’s best interests to decline any offer which may come their way from Atletico or anyone interested in signing the right-back during the summer.

MatériaMais Notícias

A Chapecoense apresentou o meia-atacante Vinicius, nesta quinta-feira. O jogador assinou contrato até o final de 2018, com a possibilidade de renovar por mais um ano. Além dele, o clube catarinense confirmou a permanência de Wellington Paulista por mais duas temporadas.

Com a camisa 19, Vinicius disse que espera fazer história como jogador da Chapecoense. O atleta se mostrou otimista e enfatizou que chegou para conquistar títulos no Verdão do Oeste.

– Espero criar uma grande história neste clube, como meu amigo Wellington que fez a escolha de vir para a Chapecoense e fez história. Estava longe, mas acompanhei. Não foi um ano simples (2017), ainda mais pela reconstrução do clube, com atletas de todos os lados. Vim para ajudar da melhor forma possível e espero que seja um ano maravilhoso. Vim para ganhar títulos. Sabemos que é difícil, mas quando se compromete e tem pensamento grande, as coisas ficam possíveis – afirmou o meia.

Conhecido da torcida, Wellington Paulista, artilheiro do clube na temporada 2017, foi confirmado por mais dois anos na equipe. Capitão na reta final do Brasileirão, comentou a identificação com a Chapecoense e falou sobre a responsabilidade no elenco.

– Consegui isso aqui. Início do ano foi muito rápido, conseguimos entrosar, vencer o Catarinense, passar na Libertadores em campo, depois teve aquele episódio. Vivemos altos e baixos, acaba tendo cobranças, é natural. Final do ano consegui o que mais queria: marcar pontos, gols e conseguir o respeito do torcedor, da diretoria, dos companheiros. Saber da responsabilidade e a liderança que tenho no clube é importante para que eu consiga permanecer por muito tempo – disse o atacante.

A Chapecoense deve apresentar nos próximos dias Guilherme, Ivan e Eduardo. O clube aguarda Márcio Araújo e Rafael Thyere, que ainda cumprem um período de férias.

Mumbai a win away from semi-finals

With 14 points on the board, Mumbai Indians need just one more win from their five remaining matches to progress to the semi-finals

The Preview by Jamie Alter09-Apr-2010Match factsFriday, April 9
Start time 2000 (1430 GMT)Dwayne Bravo and Kieron Pollard haven’t had a major impact on Mumbai’s campaign•Indian Premier League

Big pictureThe fortunes of these two teams could not be any different. With 14 points on the board, Mumbai Indians need just one more win from their five remaining matches to progress to the semi-finals. Kings XI Punjab, at the bottom of the points table, are all but out of contention for a final-four spot.With all their departments firing – that collapse against Chennai was an aberration – and comfortably perched at the top of the table, Mumbai have no real concerns. A win against Punjab will guarantee a spot in the final four and with it an opportunity to give some of their players a rest from the remaining league games. Three of those are against teams in the top four, as well as a resurgent Kolkata Knight Riders, so sealing vital points against Punjab is imperative.For a team that is yet to prove it can compete against the top sides, three of Punjab’s remaining games are against the most formidable outfits of the tournament – Mumbai, Delhi Daredevils and Chennai Super Kings. Punjab have been the worst fielding side, the batting has been inconsistent, and their problems have been exacerbated by the failure of their bowlers, who have taken just four wickets in the last two matches. Despite trying several combinations, Punjab’s woes have continued and their only incentive to win is to boost their chances of avoiding the wooden spoon.Form guide (most recent first)Kings XI Punjab LWLLL
Mumbai Indians LWWWWTeam talkWith R Sathish having little impact, his omission could be one of the changes in Mumbai’s XI. The man to step in could be Abhishek Nayar or Aditya Tare, the team’s primary wicketkeeper. Ambati Rayudu, in that role, has had trouble keeping to genuine fast bowlers. Zaheer Khan, who was rested against Chennai as a precautionary measure because of a swollen knee, is likely to return, as is Sachin Tendulkar, who suffered from dehydration in Chennai.Punjab have been chopping and changing their XI regularly but the results haven’t been significant. Juan Theron and Sreesanth were drafted back in for the last game but both bled runs, so Brett Lee could get another look-in despite his inability to manage a wicket in three games. Shaun Marsh is fit for selection and he could replace Ravi Bopara.Previously…Punjab 3 Mumbai 2
In 2008, Punjab won the first ever encounter between the two teams by 66 runs and then clinched a thriller in Mumbai by one run. In their first meeting last year , in Durban, Yusuf Abdulla helped Punjab win a last-over thriller. Mumbai then fought back with an easy eight-wicket win in Centurion. In 2010, Mumbai won a close match at home.In the spotlightSachin Tendulkar has spoilt the Mumbai crowd with his spectacular batting and the PCA Stadium will expect nothing else.Dwayne Bravo and Kieron Pollard: The West Indian stars were disasters with the bat during the loss against Chennai when a lot was expected of them. Bravo is a floater in the batting line-up but so far it seems he’s in the team primarily for his bowling. Pollard’s place in the line-up also hasn’t been settled but there’s a concern he’s being kept too low down. Against a side completely shorn of confidence, it may not be a bad idea to push this pair up and get their mojo going.Piyush Chawla: Just why he has been picked to go to the West Indies as part of India’s World Twenty20 squad is lost on many, because Chawla only has five wickets from ten games as compared to the 14 Delhi’s Amit Mishra has from as many outings at a far better economy and strike-rate. Chawla came in for heavy praise after the first IPL from Kumar Sangakkara but this season he’s not even been remotely dangerous.Prime Numbers The fact that Irfan Pathan (204) has outscored both Kumar Sangakkara (183) and Yuvraj Singh (198) this season highlights their lack of contributions to the team.Harbhajan Singh, Zaheer Khan and Lasith Malinga are all tied on 11 wickets – leaving them joint No. 4 on the list of highest wicket-takers.

أليجري قبل مواجهة بنفيكا: يوفنتوس لم يودع دوري أبطال أوروبا حتى الآن

يصر مدرب يوفنتوس ماسيميليانو أليجري على أن البيانكونيري لم يخرج من دوري أبطال أوروبا حتى الآن، ويعتقد أن فريقه سيحتاج إلى مزيد من القوة للفوز على بنفيكا غدًا.

ويسعى يوفنتوس إلى تحقيق الفوز في مباراة الغد ضد بنفيكا، في الجولة الخامسة من دور مجموعات دوري الأبطال، للبقاء على آمالهم في إمكانية التأهل إلى دور ال16.

وقال أليجري في مؤتمر صحفي اليوم: “نحن لسنا في الدوري الأوروبي ولم نخرج من دوري أبطال أوروبا بعد، سنحاول الحصول على فرصة”.

يجب أن يفوز يوفنتوس بمباراتيه المتبقيتين في المجموعة الثامنة بدوري أبطال أوروبا ضد بنفيكا وباريس سان جيرمان، ويأمل ألا يفوز خصميه على مكابي حيفا.

إذا حصل أي من باريس سان جيرمان أو بنفيكا على التعادل مع الجانب الصهيوني، فيجب على يوفنتوس الفوز عليهما بهدفين للتأهل إلى دور الستة عشر.

وواصل: “مصير بنفيكا في أيديهم، حتى لو خسروا غدًا، نحتاج إلى أداء مشابه لمباراة الذهاب، والتي كانت جيدة لفترات طويلة”.

وأكد: “يجب أن يكون لدينا شدة لفترة أطول وأن نكون مركزين دفاعيًا، مع العلم أن بنفيكا يتمتع بالجودة، يجب أن نكون في اللعبة، بدون اندفاع ونلعب كوحدة واحدة”.

واستمر: “مباراة الذهاب كانت غريبة، لم نبدأ بشكل سيئ حتى في الشوط الثاني، سيكون من المثالي الفوز بهدفين”.
