Moses joins West Ham on loan

Jurgen Klopp refused to be drawn on whether Liverpool want to renew Emre Can s contract and suggested that a recurring calf injury is the reason for his patchy form.

The 23-year-old has been a regular for the club since joining at the start of the 2014-15 season, but he is now into the final 18 months of his contract.

Can has struggled to impress this term, with Klopp revealing that a persistent calf injury is what has been holding him back.

But Klopp was not eager to publicly assure the player of a new deal, insisting Can knows what he has to do.

I speak to the players, not the press, he told reporters.

If I say yes [to wanting to extend Can s contract] it puts pressure on the club to do it immediately. If I say no the player thinks I do not w…

Juventus have confirmed Maurizio Sarri has been sacked following the club s failure to progress beyond the last 16 of the Champions League.

The decision to dispense with Sarri was taken in the aftermath of the club s surprising elimination to Lyon, Juve going out on away goals despite a 2-1 second-leg victory in Turin on Friday.

Failure to progress in Europe has led to the former Napoli and Chelsea boss losing his job after a solitary season in charge, despite winning the Serie A title.

Juventus Football Club announces that Maurizio Sarri has been relieved of his post as coach of the first team, read a short statement from the club.

The club would like to thank the coach for having written a new page in Juventus history with the victory of the nint…

Manchester United manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer agrees Scott McTominay has become a leader at the club.

McTominay s form has been one of United s major bright spots during a difficult first three months of the season, in which the Red Devils have won only three Premier League matches.

The 22-year-old midfielder produced another standout display in the 2-1 EFL Cup success at Chelsea on Wednesday to help United to a third away win in succession, with Solskjaer s side having shown signs of recovery since their 1-1 draw with Liverpool at Old Trafford.

Some supporters have begun to discuss the prospect of a future captaincy for McTominay, who was brought into the first team by Jose Mourinho and even given a special manager s player of the year prize at United s end-of-…

Substitute Sergi Darder fired Real Mallorca into the Copa del Rey final in a dramatic penalty shoot-out at Real Sociedad.

The visitors scored all five of their spot-kicks after Mikel Oyarzabal had missed with the hosts’ first attempt to book a showdown with either Athletic Bilbao or Atletico Madrid, who meet on Thursday at the San Mames Stadium with Bilbao defending a 1-0 first leg lead.

Mallorca, who sit in 16th place in LaLiga, had taken the lead at the Reale Arena through Giovanni Gonzalez’s header after keeper Dominik Greif had saved Brais Mendez’s penalty but Oyarzabal made it 1-1 to take the tie into extra time, only to be found wanting from 12 yards.

Mikel Merino, whose late strike …

Manchester City are one win away from sporting immortality after underlining their greatness by completing a Premier League and FA Cup double.

Not even arch-rivals Manchester United, in the white-hot atmosphere of a Wembley derby, could throw a spanner in the works as their seemingly relentless charge towards the treble continued on Saturday.

As the only previous side to win the Premier League, FA Cup and Champions League in the same season – back in 1999 – United and their fans would have loved nothing more than to halt Pep Guardiola’s juggernaut.

Yet, although they were not eviscerated in the manner Arsenal and Real Madrid were in two other high-profile City fixtures recently, they were ultimately no match…

Research from FIFA has shown a 30 per cent increase in fees paid to agents during transfers in 2013.

The Global Transfer Market 2014 report, carried out by football s govering body, revealed the increase last year in comparison to 2012.

It comes despite a reduction in the number of transfers involving agents or intermediary commissions , with this figure dropping from 17 per cent two years to ago to 14 per cent.

The research is based on data from the International Transfer Matching System (ITMS), which became mandatory for all international transfers of professional male players for 11-a-side football in 2010, and also revealed England spent more than any other country.

Clubs in England spent $913 million on transfers, representing a quarter of the total, with Br…

Patrick Vieira s equaliser cancelled out Nikola Kalinic s opener but Manchester City still had to settle for a 1-1 draw with Blackburn at Eastlands on Saturday.

Kalinic gave Rovers an early lead after a blunder from Joe Hart and despite pulling level at the start of the second half, they could not find a winner, leaving Roberto Mancini s free-spending City with only one win from four games.

Sam Allardyce s Blackburn will be satisfied to come away with a point to avoid slipping to three straight defeats for the first time since the manager took charge in December 2008.

Blackburn threatened early with a goal-mouth scramble from Morten Gamst Pedersen s corner.

But City cleared and immediately went close themselves, with Paul Robinson having to turn away Ada…

It was an eventful night in Turin where Juventus recorded a valuable 3-0 triumph in the first leg of the Champions League quarterfinal against Barcelona.

Here are the from the Wednesday’s match, while we also learned another important thing – Luis Suarez and Giorgio Chiellini have finally made peace after that incident back in 2014.

The Uruguay international infamously sunk his teeth into Italian defender’s shoulder, got heavily punished and publicly judged for his actions.

Having faced each other for the first time since the incident, the two players behaved like the two professionals that they are and even shared a sweet friendly moment together which was caught on camera.

Have a look:

Chiellini and Suarez.

The Clasico circus is rolling into town and while the usual intense scrutiny will pile on Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi it is Real Madrid s king of escapology Sergio Ramos who can prove decisive in the battle of LaLiga s behemoths. 

Few matches in world football stir up passions like El Clasico and no debate divides opinion more than that of who is the greater individual talent between Madrid s ultimate Galactico Ronaldo and Barcelona s king Messi.

Ronaldo s uncanny talismanic traits have been on show in the past week with the Portugal captain scoring five of Madrid s goals in a 6-3 aggregate victory over Bayern Munich in the Champions League quarter-finals.

But on the biggest stages it has been Madrid s captain fantastic Ramos and not Ronaldo who has been …

Lionel Messi said LaLiga is more competitive than ever and he hopes it stays that way as he collected the Trofeo Di Stefano for the division s best player in 2017-18.

The Barcelona superstar received the award from Spanish sports newspaper Marca on Monday, while also being presented with the Trofeo Pichichi for his 34-goal haul last season.

Messi took his LaLiga tally for 2018-19 to nine with a double in Barca s surprise 4-3 loss at home to Real Betis on Sunday, a result that saw their advantage at the summit cut to just one point.

Sevilla, Atletico Madrid, Deportivo Alaves and Espnayol are all above perennial title challengers Real Madrid who sit four points off top  in the table and Messi welcomes the more open nature of the division.

It s good that …
