According to Spanish outlet Cope, Gyokeres is reportedly having “daily” conversations about a potential move to Barcelona, with his representatives said to be in contact with Barça sporting director Deco.

Paris Saint-Germain’s Ligue 1 campaign will begin in unusual circumstances after their home opener against Rennes was moved from the Parc des Princes at short notice.

Manchester City’s hopes of signing Enzo Fernandez have suffered a major setback after Chelsea’s Friday 5pm deadline passed without the Premier League champions submitting an offer for the midfielder. Chelsea had made it clear that any interested club would need to make a formal approach by the deadline if they wanted to negotiate for Fernandez.

The Blues value the 25-year-old at around £120 million, a figure that has so far proved too high for City to meet.…

But with just minutes remaining, Jimenez kept his cool from the spot to earn Cesar Peixoto’s side a point. It was a dramatic finish, although Wolves will know they were fortunate to escape with anything after Blackburn produced an impressive performance in front of 30,984 supporters. Wolves…

José Mourinho has opened up about one of the biggest “what if?” moments in Manchester United’s recent history, revealing that he actually agreed to succeed Sir Alex Ferguson in 2013 before ultimately changing his mind and returning to Chelsea. Ferguson shocked the football world in May 2013 when he announced his retirement after guiding Manchester United to their 13th Premier League title. After more than two decades of unprecedented success at Old Trafford, the club suddenly faced the daunting task of finding a manager capable of filling arguably the biggest managerial role in English football. Mourinho, who had just left…
