  • Man Utd, De Gea hit contract deadlock

    Man Utd, De Gea hit contract deadlock

    Manchester United are currently in negotiations with goalkeeper David de Gea about his future.

    The Spaniard, who was tipped to leave United for Real Madrid for so many summers during his peak, ended up committing his best years to United.

    Now that his deal is expiring in the summer, Untied and De Gea are arguing over a new contract.

    Per the Manchester Evening News, United want De Gea to accept a lower wage and status as possible no.2 from next season.

    The club are ready to renew him, but only on reduced terms that suit their plans.

    The Spaniard wants to maintain a wage close to the £375,000 a week he earns, but he is the best paid keeper on the planet by some distance at present.

    On his fitness, Kante added: “It was the purpose of the surgery, to come back strong. At the moment I feel good, hopefully it’ll carry on like this. For the last few weeks I’ve been playing I’ve felt very good.

    Mount prepared to leave Chelsea for EPL rival

    England midfielder Mason Mount would be open to joining Chelsea’s Premier League rivals this summer.

    The attacking midfielder is not able to agree on a new contract with Chelsea at present.

    Mount is now facing an uncertain future, with reports in the Spanish press stating he was offered to Atletico Madrid.

    Now ESPN states that Mount does not mind leaving Chelsea, but he would prefer to remain in the Premier League.

    A move to Liverpool has been mooted in the past, as Mount has the qualities that Jurgen Klopp would appreciate in an attacker.

    For their part, Chelsea do want to retain Mount, but their influx of new signings means that no one is safe.

  • Days of portfolio contractors has ended in NDDC – Onochie

    Days of portfolio contractors has ended in NDDC – Onochie

    Ms Lauretta Onochie, the Chairman, Governing Board, Niger Delta Development Commission (NDDC), has pledged to improve the credibility and quality of its projects.

    Onochie spoke at a ceremony to celebrate her recent appointment organised by the Buhari Support Organisations (BSO), on Tuesday in Abuja.

    She declared: ”The days of portfolio contractors and splitting contracts have ended,” adding that the commission under her watch was going to get the best contractors to do the best projects for the people of Niger Delta.

    Onochie, who decried that NDDC had in the past became a cash cow for the elites in the Niger Delta Region and beyond, vowed, ”it is not going to be the same anymore.

    She said: ”Although it is going to be a difficult task, President Muhammadu Buhari has made my appointment into NDDC easier.

    ”This is because he had ordered a forensic audit, and from the result, Nigerians were angered when they saw the quantum of evidence that was presented during the audit.

    ” We are not going to be looking at the forensic audit as a board, but we are going to do things differently.

    “I’m very lucky to be a disciple of President Muhammadu Buhari, who everybody knows that he is an incorruptible leader, as he is a man that abhors corruption.”

    Onochie said that Buhari the way Buhari was running the country since 2015 had shown everyone that he means business when it comes to tackling corruption.

    She said: “We are going to stand with our people, as our youth are going to benefit massively, and the NDDC staffers that have been long suffering in the region are going to have a new leaf of life.

    ” They are going to be retrained, rehire some of them as technical aides rather than looking elsewhere. We are just going to do things totally different.”

    She said that NDDC would train the youth and equip them with the requisite skills, so that they are able to get their own businesses started, and become employers of labour.

    Earlier, the Chairman, BSO Coordinators Forum, Umar Shuaibu, who described Onochie as an incorruptible person that has been tested and trusted, expressed optimism that she was going to be the game changer in the Niger Delta region.

    Shuaibu, who is also Coordinator, Abuja Metropolitan Management Council (AMMC), said: “We know that a new Sheriff is now in town, God willing, it is not going to be business as usual in the area.

    He said: “Our advice to her is to always stand strong, and affirm that belief and incorruptible nature of her to make sure that the right thing is done and we have confidence that the right will be done in the NDDC.

    ” The Buhari Support Organisations will make sure the legacy of President Buhari’s administration is sustained.”

  • Chelsea prepare contract offer for Luis Enrique

    Chelsea prepare contract offer for Luis Enrique

    Former Spain coach Luis Enrique is a target for Chelsea, it has been revealed.

    Now a free agent after being axed by the Spanish Federation following a disappointing World Cup, Enrique has stated he’s ready to return to club football.

    El Chiringuito says the former Barcelona coach is wanted by Chelsea’s new owners.

    Despite sacking Thomas Tuchel and replacing him with Graham Potter this season, Chelsea are said to be drawing up a contract offer for Enrique.

    Chelsea plan to offer Enrique a three-year contract worth €12 million net per season. The parties began talks before the World Cup.

    For his part, Potter has a deal with Chelsea to 2027.

  • Edouard Mendy rejects new Chelsea contract offer

    Edouard Mendy rejects new Chelsea contract offer

    Senegalese goalkeeper Edouard Mendy has rejected a new contract offer from Chelsea.

    The Sun says Mendy snubbed a six-year contract offer — because Chelsea are not showing him enough ‘respect’ over wages.

    Mendy has been back training with his club since last week after reaching the World Cup last 16 — but there is still no sign of an agreement.

    The 30-year-old earns around £100,000 a week and wants parity with his Blues rival Kepa Arrizabalaga who picks up almost twice that.

    Sources claim Chelsea bosses have even withdrawn their initial offer of a long-term deal as they play hardball with the negotiations — and now there is a stand-off.

    And an insider said: “Edouard is back at Chelsea and he is ready to play.

    “But there is a feeling that the contract situation is just going nowhere.

    “Edouard has won some huge trophies for Chelsea — but there is a sense that he is not being shown enough respect by the club over a new deal.”

    The Blues star still has two and a half years left on his contract but Italian champions AC Milan are closely monitoring the situation — as are French sides Nice and Monaco.

  • Why I want Ronaldo to come to Saudi – Ighalo

    Why I want Ronaldo to come to Saudi – Ighalo

    Al-Hilal striker Odion Ighalo, has said Cristiano Ronaldo will boost the Saudi Arabia league should he eventually make a transfer move to the Asian country

    Ronaldo is currently a free agent after his contract with Man United was terminated by mutual consent.

    The Portugal captain has been linked to Saudi Arabian clubs, Al-Hilal and Al Nassr in recent weeks.

    The five-time Ballon d’Or winner is expected to make a transfer decision to join a new club following his Man United’s exit after the 2022 FIFA World Cup in Qatar.

    Speaking about Ronaldo, Ighalo, a former Manchester United striker, wants the 37-year-old to join him in Saudi Arabia, although he admits the former Real Madrid star will likely remain in Europe and join a Champions League club.

    “Cristiano Ronaldo is hugely ambitious, and I think he will want to play in a Champions League team and end his career well, but you never can say,” Ighalo told The Athletic.

    “He has the decision to make. I wish him all the best in that decision, and hopefully, he does come to Saudi Arabia.

    “I would love for him to come to Saudi because he would boost the league and add more fanbase to the league. People who are not already watching will start to engage with the league and see something they are missing.”
