Juventus Willing to Offer £35M-Rated PSG, Tottenham-Linked Attacker for Man Utd Outcast

Juventus Willing to Offer £35M-Rated PSG, Tottenham-Linked Attacker for Man Utd Outcast

Yahoo6 hours ago

Juventus' Dušan Vlahović could be on the way out with rumors over the last few months linking him to AC Milan, PSG, and Tottenham Hotspur. With one year left on his current contract, the Old Lady want to ensure they don't lose him on a free transfer.
CaughtOffside previously reported that the French club began tracking the Serbian international earlier this year, and with his price tag becoming more manageable, a summer move was starting to look realistic.

Arsenal and Manchester United were also previously reported to be monitoring Vlahović closely, setting up the possibility of a bidding war. With just one year left on his contract, Juventus appeared more willing to sell rather than risk losing him for nothing in 2026.
Could Tottenham, PSG target be involved in swap deal?

Gazzetta dello Sport reports that Juventus are prepared to offer Dušan Vlahović as part of a swap deal with Manchester United for Jadon Sancho.
TBR Football's chief correspondent Graeme Bailey recently shared that intermediaries have sounded out several Premier League clubs about Dušan Vlahović. However, despite the interest from England, the striker appears more likely to remain in Italy.

'There is interest in England in Vlahovic, but I can confirm no offers are on the table in the Premier League for him, as yet,' Bailey told TBR. 'There was a suspicion amongst the clubs that he was waiting for other interest, and now something has come up at Milan with Allegri's move to the club.
'I am told that, as it stands, they are firm favourites for Vlahović, but that could change. If that does happen, then we could see Premier League interest materialise, but at this point it has not.'
A previous report from GIVE ME SPORT says Tottenham might have a chance to sign Vlahović at a bargain price this summer. Juventus are said to be willing to let the Serbian striker go for as little as £20 million, as he continues to struggle to find his best form.
While Juventus would prefer closer to £35 million, they understand they may have to accept a lower fee to move him on. The club is actively seeking a buyer, which could potentially lower the price if Tottenham or another team makes a serious offer.

New-look Lionesses head to Switzerland looking to conquer Europe once again

England head to Switzerland with a new look but with the same goal as three years ago when they conquered Europe. The Lionesses are tasked with defending their first major title at this summer's European Championship, having lifted the trophy at Wembley and transformed women's football across the country. Advertisement But four of Sarina Wiegman's unchanged starting line-up from 2022 have now retired. Ellen White hung up her boots shortly after, then Rachel Daly retired from international football in 2024. FIFA Best and Sports Personality of the Year-winning goalkeeper Mary Earps shockingly called time on her England career late last month, quickly followed by attacking midfielder Fran Kirby. Add an announcement from World Cup captain Millie Bright, who made herself unavailable for selection in order to address her physical and mental health, and some started to wonder if this could be a summer of struggle for England. Advertisement But the Lionesses have brushed aside that speculation, insisting once again this is a 'new England' ahead of their title defence. Arsenal striker Russo has a bigger role to play this summer (Bradley Collyer/PA) While many of Wiegman's 13 2022 returnees – like Arsenal striker Alessia Russo and Chelsea goalkeeper Hannah Hampton – have significantly stepped up in responsibility, seven major tournament newcomers will also be looking to make their mark. Aggie Beever-Jones has enjoyed a breakout season at Chelsea, last month completing a hat-trick on her Wembley debut for England, while 19-year-old Michelle Agyemang – who has returned to Arsenal after a Brighton loan spell – scored 41 seconds into her maiden senior international appearance in April. Advertisement Stalwarts like Chelsea defender Lucy Bronze – heading into her seventh major tournament and fourth consecutive Euros – will provide the experience. And while England may not be able to replicate the magic of that maiden trophy on home soil, winning one away from home would be another historic achievement. Wales have qualified for their first major tournament (Nick Potts/PA) Wales, meanwhile, qualified for their first major tournament after beating the Republic of Ireland in a dramatic 2-1 second-leg victory to win their play-off 3-2 on aggregate. Boss Rhian Wilkinson has used Yr Wyddfa (Snowdon), Wales' highest peak, as a metaphor for their mission in Switzerland. Wales are the lowest-ranked team in the Euros, drawn in a very difficult group with holders England, 2017 winners the Netherlands and 2022 semi-finalists France, but Wilkinson has insisted her side are not simply just happy to be included. Speaking from the top of Yr Wyddfa, she said: 'As we've moved towards the Euros we've talked about the summit, the Everest part of it. That something is impossible until it isn't. Advertisement 'Outside Wales people can think whatever they want. 'Our goal is to show up and deliver to the best of our ability. I am sure people will be looking up Wales on a map very soon.'

How to watch Juventus vs Man City FOR FREE: TV Channel and live stream for Club World Cup today

Off the mark: Rayan Cherki will be looking to fire Man City to top spot in Group G tonight (Getty Images) Juventus and Manchester City will do battle tonight for the right to top Group G in the Club World Cup. As expected, both clubs have made light work of Wydad Casablanca and Al Ain. Each side has picked maximum points from their first two games and have the same goal difference of +8. Advertisement However, Juventus hold a slight advantage. Having scored nine goals compared to City's eight, it means they will qualify for the knockout stages as group winners if they can avoid defeat at the Camping World Stadium in Orlando, Florida. Therefore, this is a must-win game for Pep Guardiola's side. Failure to do so would put them at risk of facing Real Madrid in the round of 16 and the Premier League giants don't need reminding of how previous meetings against Los Blancos have gone. An intriguing showdown awaits tonight with the guarantee of at least one 100 percent winning record coming to an end. Here's everything you need to know about how to watch this one unfold... How to watch Juventus vs Man City TV channel: In the UK, the game will not be televised live. Advertisement Live stream: Viewers can also watch the action live online via the DAZN website, which is free with a registration. Kick-off is at 8pm BST. DAZN is the global broadcaster of the new-look Club World Cup. No subscription is required to watch the game, with the entire tournament available to their 'Freemium' members, which means you only need to sign up for a free DAZN account.

Euro 2025: Sweden team guide – can Gerhardsson bow out with the final they crave?

The winners of the first European Championship in 1984 remain arguably the continent's most consistent side, reaching the semi-finals at the World Cup in 2019, the Euros in 2022, the World Cup in 2023, and finishing runners-up in the 2021 Olympics. Once the strongest league in European football, the Damallsvenskan can no longer compete with the top divisions in England, Spain and Germany, but Swedish players have adjusted and moved abroad increasingly early in their careers. This squad features players from clubs among the European elite — Arsenal, Chelsea, Barcelona, Real Madrid, Bayern Munich and Wolfsburg. Who is the manager? Peter Gerhardsson will take charge of his final tournament this summer, ending an eight-year reign that has included third-placed finishes at the past two World Cups. A good-humoured manager who is popular with players and public alike, he has overseen a period of great squad harmony. He was previously in charge of Swedish club Hacken's men's side for seven years, ending that stint by winning their domestic cup, and will hope to finish this lengthy tenure with another trophy. His replacement will be compatriot Tony Gustavsson, whose Australia side were defeated 2-0 by the Swedes in the third-place play-off at the 2023 World Cup. How do they play? Gerhardsson has always placed a big emphasis on pressing, with Stina Blackstenius and Kosovare Asllani, his typical front two, often praised for cutting off passing angles and boxing opponents in towards the flank. Swedish media tend to depict the side as playing a 4-3-3, but it is surely a 4-2-3-1. Advertisement Asllani, the captain, is 36 next month and has spent the season playing in the English second tier with London City Lionesses, however, which could prompt a change of approach. Filippa Angeldahl has generally been used as a deep midfielder, but has been pushed forward to play as the No 10 in recent months. Although she lacks the flair of a proper playmaker, she is good at pressing and efficient with powerful low finishes from the edge of the box. Defensively, Sweden are solid, partly due to the combination of Magdalena Eriksson and Nathalie Bjorn, Chelsea centre-backs past and present. Both can also play full-back in the case of injury to others. Who are their three most influential players? Blackstenius blows hot and cold but comes into the tournament on a high following her Champions League final winner for Arsenal last month, as well as an excellent hat-trick in the 6-1 Nations League thrashing of Denmark just over a week later. She is always a threat with her runs in-behind. Advertisement Out wide, Fridolina Rolfo is one of the most powerful players in this competition, although probably less explosive now that she has become accustomed to playing left-back for Barcelona. Over on the right, Johanna Rytting Kaneryd had a brilliant first half of last season for Chelsea and is excellent at carrying the ball upfield. What is their biggest strength? Sweden's inswinging corners were crucial at World Cup 2023, with Jonna Andersson's left-footed deliveries proving particularly dangerous. It meant centre-back Amanda Ilestedt scored four goals in the tournament, one away from a share of the Golden Boot. This has continued to be a major aspect of their game in recent months. Asllani or Hanna Bennison generally take their corners from the left, although neither of them is guaranteed a starting place. What weakness might other teams be able to exploit? Against top-class opponents, Sweden can struggle to compete in the centre of midfield. Although they adjusted well to the loss of Caroline Seger, who retired in the wake of the 2023 World Cup after amassing 240 caps over 18 years, this was largely because of the form of Elin Rubensson, who was perhaps the second-best midfielder at that tournament behind Aitana Bonmati of Spain. She has had a couple of years of injury problems and is absent from this squad, while 22-year-old Bennison is still trying to blossom into the world-class midfielder we expected in her teens. Advertisement Sweden sometimes play the functional Julia Zigiotti Olme alongside Bennison, with Angeldahl pushed forward into her new role, which feels a bit like adjusting for a lack of quality by providing extra quantity. Any notable absences? Zecira Musovic was the star of Sweden's last-16 penalty shootout victory over holders the United States at the 2023 World Cup, but she announced her pregnancy in February and will miss this tournament. However, Hacken's Jennifer Falk was sometimes getting selected over her anyway, and while the 32-year-old lacks the physical presence of Musovic, it is not too much of a downgrade. It is vital Falk stays fit, though — neither of her backups have played in a senior international. What is their strongest starting XI? How have they performed over the past 12 months? Sweden narrowly failed to qualify for this tournament automatically, finishing behind Olympic silver medallists France and defending European champions England in a tough group. They were only beaten by France 1-0 at home and 2-1 away, and held England to two draws. They came close to a winner in the 0-0 with Sarina Wiegman's Lionesses in Gothenburg last July, which would have taken them through. Advertisement They then breezed through the play-offs against Luxembourg and Serbia, 12-0 and 8-0 on aggregate, at the end of 2024, before recently finishing top of a Nations League group featuring three Euro 2025 sides in Denmark, Italy and Wales. The 6-1 thrashing of the Danes three weeks ago is particularly promising given the local rivals meet again in both sides' Euros opener on July 4, but Sweden's failure to defeat Wales in two attempts (both matches finished 1-1) points to their problems in breaking down deep defences. What are they expected to achieve at these Euros? Sweden have high standards to maintain. Advertisement A group-stage exit would be a major shock, quarter-final elimination would be disappointing, and getting to the final four would be, on recent evidence, about par. They will be favourites in that group-opener derby against Denmark and should defeat Poland, too. The final match against Germany will be the biggest test. They will give anyone a game, but it remains to be seen whether the Swedes still offer the technical quality to outplay top-class sides, and whether previous defeats play on their mind in the latter stages of tournaments. Did you know? Sweden have progressed to the knockout phase in each of the seven European Championships played since the introduction of a group stage in 1997. They are as reliable as you get.
