MatériaMais Notícias

O Corinthians está empenhado em contratar um centroavante para o seu elenco e já começar a temporada 2022 com esse nome integrado. Para isso, o Cifut (departamento de análise do clube) segue buscando alternativas para a posição com um perfil bem definido pela diretoria corintiana. Ainda com Cavani como “plano A”, o objetivo é ter um leque de opções para trabalhar.

Segundo apurou o LANCE!, a ideia dos dirigentes do Timão é fazer uma contratação com as mesmas características de Giuliano, Renato Augusto, Róger Guedes e Willian, ou seja, jogadores de peso que chegaram ao clube sem custos de transferência, apenas com o pagamento de luvas e salários.

Embora o Grupo Taunsa, novo parceiro do Corinthians, prometa ajudar o clube em reforçar o elenco, as conversas não preveem auxílio no pagamento de direitos econômicos de jogadores. E nem é de interesse da diretoria assumir uma possível dívida ou onerar ainda mais o caixa com uma operação desse tipo. Portanto, o foco é investir em atletas que estejam livres no mercado.

Com Cavani a situação não é diferente. As tratativas ocorrem com a condição de o uruguaio conseguir sua rescisão junto ao Manchester United. O mesmo vai ocorrer no caso outros nomes que despertem o interesse e estejam ligados a algum clube. A intenção é de que o Grupo Taunsa colabore com o valor de salário (e luvas) que exceda o teto do clube, que é de R$ 1 milhão no momento.

Mas não é só o aspecto financeiro/contratual que é levado em conta nesse “garimpo” do Corinthians pelo marcado de centroavantes. O clube gostaria de contar com um camisa 9 que já tem rodagem no futebol e seja um nome de impacto, que pegue a camisa, assuma a titularidade e seja incontestável. Os envolvidos na busca sabem que é uma peça difícil de encontrar atualmente.

Por isso, o departamento de inteligência do clube, o Cifut, está empenhado nessa busca, ao lado dos membros da diretoria de futebol e da comissão técnica. Vários nomes, brasileiros ou não, estão sendo analisados para aumentar o leque de opções e evitar erros de avaliação, até mesmo para o caso de Cavani ser descartado, o que já é tratado como “provável” internamente.

A intenção dos dirigentes e de Sylvinho é que esse jogador já possa estar integrado ao grupo no dia 10 de janeiro, quando terá início a pré-temporada. Não há pressa para a contratação, uma vez que o foco principal, a fase de grupos da Libertadores, terá início apenas em abril. No entanto, o desejo é de que o centroavante esteja adaptado e entrosado ao estilo de jogo do time.

    Zirkzee joined Manchester United last summer as part of the Red Devils' massive recruitment drive for former manager Erik ten Hag as INEOS wanted to back the Dutchman with his preferred signings. However, the summer spending did not work in Ten Hag's favour as he was sacked in October and replaced by Amorim, who has backed Zirkzee but the Dutch striker has failed to impress the Portuguese coach.

    THE BIGGER PICTURE

    Zirkzee has been linked with a potential return to Italy, where he showed his best form at Bologna. As per Corriere dello Sport, Juventus are interested in signing the Dutch striker on loan this winter as they struggle with form in front of goal. As per talkSPORT, Juventus have also offered Dusan Vlahovic in a swap deal as United are very keen on selling Zirkzee in a permanent deal.

  • DID YOU KNOW?

    Amorim has now opened up about Zirkzee's first six months at Manchester United and claimed that he wants the Dutch striker to remain at Old Trafford but admitted uncertainty over the situation.

    Speaking to talkSPORT, Amorim said: “I want to keep Josh because he gives everything and he’s trying in training but we don’t know.

    “The window is open and we will see what happens. We just need to focus on training and to take this for the other games. It’s just one point so let’s focus on the performance for the next games."

    WHAT NEXT FOR ZIRKZEE?

    The Dutch striker is highly unlikely to move away from United on a permanent basis this January, however, a loan move could likely be on the cards as Juventus and other Italian clubs show interest this month.

Nottingham Forest struck gold on star who’s worth more than Elanga & CHO

Nottingham Forest have made some brilliant signings in recent seasons since their promotion back to the Premier League, spending a bucket load as they look to strengthen their side and avoid relegation.

So far, that has been a success for the East Midlands club. They are now into their third season in the top flight since promotion, and it has seen them finish out of the relegation zone twice in a row.

In 2022/23, Forest came 16th on 38 points, just two points clear of 18th place Leicester City, and 17th last season, six points ahead of relegated Luton Town.

Forest’s major signings since promotion

There have certainly been some huge deals at the City Ground which have helped to just about keep Forest in the top flight. They have now had five transfer windows since coming up from the Championship and have signed a whooping 58 players, including free transfers and loan moves.

Perhaps the most notable of these was Morgan Gibbs-White. The attacking midfielder made the move across the Midlands to join Forest from Wolves for around £42.5m and has since become a key man for the former European Cup winners.

The 24-year-old has played 83 times for the club, scoring 12 goals and registering 18 assists. He is already off the mark this season and has been rewarded with a first England cap against Ireland on Saturday. Gibbs-White has been pivotal in their bid for survival so far.

Two of the other notable signings since promotion in 2021/22 were former Manchester United winger Anthony Elanga, who cost £15m, and Chelsea academy graduate Callum Hudson-Odoi, who signed for Forest on a three-year deal.

The wingers have already made waves in the Garibaldi Red so far, and that has seen a real spike in their transfer values. According to Transfermarkt, Sweden international Elanga is now worth £18.5m, and the former Chelsea attacker Hudson-Odoi was valued at a whopping £40m according to reports over the summer.

However, there has been another marquee signing at the City Ground during the past few years, who has proven to be an even better deal than the dynamic wingers.

Murillo’s transfer value in 2024

The player in question here is Brazilian centre-back Murillo. The 22-year-old joined the club from Brazilian outfit Corinthians for a fee in the region of £15m and signed a five-year contract in the East Midlands.

He has been superb for the club since joining last summer. The Brazilian, who is yet to be capped at international level, has made 39 appearances at the City Ground, helping to keep five clean sheets so far. He has yet to register a goal for the club.

Nottingham Forest defender Murillo

Murillo’s impressive performances saw him slapped with a hefty £70m price tag over the summer by Forest. a rise of around 337% since his initial move. That asking price came in the midst of interest from West London outfit Chelsea, who considered a move for the defender.

That sees him valued at a higher price than any of his Forest teammates, including both Elanga and Hudson-Odoi, showing his impressive performances certainly had merit to them so far.

Murillo

To make things even sweeter for Forest, he is amongst one of the lowest earners at the club. According to Capology, Muriallo is currently earning £30k per week, the ninth lowest amount in the Forest wage structure.

Football scout Antonio Mango described the former Corinthians defender as a “commanding and productive” defender and should the East Midlands outfit decide to sell Murillo at some stage in the coming months, they can expect to get a healthy profit on the deal.

However, right now, he will play a key part in their Premier League survival for another season.

'Good news for the league!' – Arne Slot delighted by Pep Guardiola's decision to extend Man City contract as Liverpool boss praises 'one of the best managers football has ever had'

Liverpool coach Arne Slot says Pep Guardiola's contract extension at Manchester City is "good news" for the Premier League.

Guardiola extends stay at Man CitySlot says this is good for Premier LeagueHails one of the game's best managersFollow GOAL on WhatsApp! 🟢📱WHAT HAPPENED?

Guardiola signed a new two-year deal with City earlier this week, just when it looked like he may leave next summer when his contract was set to expire. Reds boss Slot says the Spaniard staying put is great for the division, as having the best managers and players in the English top-flight makes everything better.

AdvertisementGetty Images SportWHAT ARNE SLOT SAID

He told reporters on Friday: "That is good news for City, first of all, and also good news for the league because I think everybody wants to have the best managers possible over here and the best players over here – and he is definitely one of the best managers, maybe the best manager, in the league. If you look at what he did in the last few years, four times champions in a row, it’s fair to say that he is maybe the best manager in the league. So, that is a good thing, but on the other hand they have so many quality players that if he had made the choice to leave the club I wouldn’t have expected them to have ended up bottom of the league next season. Yes, good for the City fans and interesting for us as managers to keep on facing one of the best managers football has ever had."

THE BIGGER PICTURE

Guardiola has brought City unprecedented success over the best part of a decade, winning a hatful of Premier League titles and the Champions League as well. The 53-year-old has said he wants to win more trophies with the English champions and while Slot may be happy Guardiola is not moving on just yet, it is harder to win trophies with his new rival on the scene.

Mark Robinson poised to take over as Warwickshire head coach

Mark Robinson, the World Cup-winning former coach of England Women, looks set to be appointed as Warwickshire’s new head coach.He will, if confirmed, replace Jim Troughton who was sacked at the end of a 2020 season which saw the club finish without a victory in the Bob Willis Trophy and fail to reach the quarter-final stages of the T20 Blast.Robinson, who led England to the 2017 Women’s World Cup, has previously coached Sussex, where he enjoyed great success, winning back-to-back County Championships in 2006 and 2007, the T20 competition in 2009, and List A titles in 2006 (Friends Provident Trophy), 2008 and 2009 (Pro 40 League).While Warwickshire had expressed a hope of completing the appointment before Christmas, ESPNcricinfo understands the process was delayed when another coach on the shortlist suffered some bad news about a health issue in their family.Robinson’s arrival marks something of a change of approach at Edgbaston. Their last few appointments – dating back to the sacking of Mark Greatbatch in 2007 – have all been former Warwickshire players, with Ashley Giles, Dougie Brown and Troughton having periods at the helm. Robinson offers fresh perspective and inherits a support staff that includes three former Warwickshire players in Graeme Welch (bowling), Tony Frost (batting) and Ian Westwood (second XI).Related

Further changes are not anticipated, with Robinson joining a relatively new management team which includes chief executive Stuart Cain, who started in July 2020, and director of sport Paul Farbrace, who joined ahead of the 2019 season.As well as winning multiple trophies, Robinson has shown an astute eye for new signings, bringing in Jofra Archer and Ollie Robinson – no relation – during his time at Sussex. He also demonstrated the courage to make tough decisions, such as moving on from Charlotte Edwards during his time as England Women’s coach, and respect for his sensitive handling of the mental health issues suffered by Michael Yardy and Sarah Taylor. Promoted, relegated; sacked and lauded: he has, pretty much, seen it all.But this role offers a significant fresh start for him. He was left licking his wounds after being sacked by the ECB in August 2019 after England were overwhelmed in the Ashes by a vastly superior Australia side. It was just two years after the World Cup triumph and less than a year since leading them to the final of the 2018 World T20. He has not held a high-profile role since, though he was recently connected with the position of Bangladesh Women’s head coach.Robinson, now aged 54, previously enjoyed a long playing career as a seam bowler with Northants, Yorkshire and Sussex. He is likely to be joining a club in something of a transition. The likes of Ian Bell, Jonathan Trott, Jeetan Patel and Tim Ambrose have all left the club over the last couple of years with Warwickshire believing they have a talented core of young players with their careers in front of them.In Robinson they will find a quietly spoken, studious coach with a gentle manner and commitment to the welfare of his squad on and off the pitch. But he’ll also have high expectations. It looks a decent combination.

He’s better than Roberts: Leeds set to launch move for "quality" ace

Leeds United are slowly but surely adding in a couple of new faces here and there to their ranks this transfer window, with Joe Rothwell joining Daniel Farke's camp as the most recent capture.

That followed on from the low-key signing of Alex Cairns joining from Salford City to help bolster the Whites in the goalkeeper positions, as supporters of the West Yorkshire side now look forward to the first high-profile purchase arriving at Elland Road.

This could come in the form of a new right-back joining Farke's group shortly, with no planned deal in place for Connor Roberts to return.

Leeds looking at £7m rated signing

According to football journalist Mike McGrath, Leeds are 'set to move' for Sheffield United right-back Jayden Bogle this transfer window, to finally sort out issues that have been plaguing the Championship side for some time down that flank.

Archie Gray filled in here on numerous occasions last campaign, but with the 18-year-old sensation now on the books at Tottenham Hotspur, it's no surprise to see Farke and Co deliberating now on what they want in this position ahead of the season to come.

It won't be straightforward for Leeds to land their desired target in Bogle, however, with football journalist Alan Nixon reporting that the recently relegated Blades want the Whites to cough up £7m to consider parting ways.

As it stands, the West Yorkshire outfit are allegedly way off spending that much to secure the services of the right-back.

Jaden Bogle for Sheffield United.

The second-tier promotion hopefuls could still go all out to win Bogle, despite this recent stumbling block over a price, with football journalist Graham Smyth also adding fuel to the fire surrounding Leeds' drawn-out hunt for a new body at right-back, when he revealed that an imminent move for Roberts wasn't on the cards.

The in-demand 23-year-old could even be viewed as an upgrade on his Burnley counterpart when you consider their 23/24 seasons against each other.

What Bogle can offer Leeds

As can be seen in the strike Bogle managed to bag against Manchester City last August, the ex-Derby County defender is unafraid to get forward and help out in attacks, which will suit the attacking mentality Farke likes his sides to play with.

The Blades number 20 has 12 goals next to his name from 103 games playing in South Yorkshire, with an impressive 115 games accumulated in the Championship alone on his career CV, where he's tallied up 16 assists too.

On the contrary, Roberts – when looking at last campaign in isolation – really struggled to nail down a starting spot in the Leeds ranks away from any past second-tier heroics, with just an average of 27 minutes per game handed to him by Farke, which is reflected in his poor numbers in the table above.

Bogle can at least hold his head somewhat high with his numbers from what was a car crash season for all those involved with Chris Wilder's men, with his 4.8 total duels won on average per game actually bettering the likes of Sam Byram who routinely stepped up last season at right-back too for Leeds, but has just 4.4 duels as his lesser average.

Connor Roberts

Roberts will just aim to bounce back with Burnley, who are now in the same division as Leeds, with new manager Scott Parker perhaps taking a shining to the Welshman.

Whereas, Farke and Co will have to weigh up whether an ambitious £7m swoop for Bogle is truly worth it, knowing the expensive 23-year-old – who was once labelled as a "quality" player by Blades boss Wilder – could fix many a selection dilemma moving forward.

Nottingham Forest must finally sell flop who earns more than Elanga

Nottingham Forest have a huge summer ahead of them to avoid any further breach of the Premier League’s PSR rules whilst improving their squad to maintain their top-flight status.

Nuno Espírito Santo’s side endured a tricky second half of the 2023/24 campaign, especially considering a four-point deduction which plunged them into fresh relegation woes.

With the summer transfer window now open, the club will undoubtedly need to bolster their ranks if they are to build on the end of the season which saw Nuno’s side win two of their last three matches.

However, given their financial troubles, they may have to sell multiple players to cut the wage bill and give themselves a huge chance of avoiding a second PSR punishment in as many seasons.

ByStephan Georgiou Apr 16, 2024

One player in particular must be sold, especially considering his lack of impact since his move to the East Midlands last summer.

Odysseas Vlachodimos’ stats at Forest in 2023/24

After arriving in Nottingham following a £7.7m move from Portuguese side Benfica, goalkeeper Odysseas Vlachodimos had ambitions of becoming the club's number one despite the addition of Matt Turner just a couple of weeks prior.

The 30-year-old, who is Greece's number one, had to bide his time before making his debut for the club, failing to make a single appearance until the 2-0 win over Aston Villa in November.

His clean sheet against Unai Emery's side is his only during his time in the Premier League, with his game time decreasing massively since the turn of the year.

Vlachodimos has only featured twice under Nuno, with both starts coming in the FA Cup against Blackpool. Insteaad, January addition Matz Sels started every Premier League match after his move to the City Ground.

The former Benfica shot-stopper has since become the third choice behind Sels and Turner, failing to appear in a single matchday squad since the 2-1 defeat against Arsenal in January.

A summer move must be on the cards for the 30-year-old, with the club needing to shift his hefty wages to avoid another punishment from the Premier League for breaking their PSR rules.

How much Odysseas Vlachodimos earns at Forest

A recent report from Football Insider claims that the Reds are willing to part ways with the shot-stopper this summer, hardly a surprise given his hefty wages at the City Ground.

The goalkeeper signed a four-year deal upon his move to the East Midlands, on a reported £45k-per-week, as per Capology – a huge figure given his lack of impact on Trentside.

His weekly wage of £45k-per-week sees the Greece international take home £2.3m a season, with the club needing to cut such a figure off the bill this summer.

Vlachodimos’ subsequent wage sees him earn nearly two times more than attacker Anthony Elanga, who only earns a reported £25k-per-week, despite his stellar first campaign at the City Ground which saw him register 14 goal contributions.

Whilst at the time it was seen as a brilliant piece of business signing a player of his calibre, it has, unfortunately for both parties, been a complete disaster.

Given his experience in Portugal and internationally, he certainly won’t be short of interest, with the Reds needing to cash in as soon as possible to avoid missing the June 30th PSR deadline.

'It's sh*t' – Jurgen Klopp's former player 'in shock' at ex-Liverpool boss accepting Red Bull role

A former Borussia Dortmund player says it is "sh*t" that his old coach Jurgen Klopp has accepted Red Bull's job offer.

Klopp leaves Liverpool in 2024Ex-Dortmund boss joins Red BullFormer player slams manager's decisionFollow GOAL on WhatsApp! 🟢📱WHAT HAPPENED?

Former Liverpool boss Klopp was announced as Red Bull's new Global Head of Soccer earlier this week, prompting a backlash from fans who weren't happy about the decision. Now, Kevin Grosskreutz – who made 176 Bundesliga appearances for Borussia Dortmund under Klopp – has admitted he is "in shock" over the German's move.

AdvertisementGetty Images SportWHAT KEVIN GROSSKREUTZ SAID

He said on his Viertelstunde Fußball podcast: "I woke up, I had 30 messages on my phone and I thought: What happened? I thought I was dreaming, then I hoped it was fake news. Two hours later it was official. It was pretty shocking and sad. Somehow it hasn't really sunk in yet.

"I don't think anyone was expecting it. It's very, very strange and I can't really comprehend it yet. It's like shock! Nevertheless, he's a friend of mine and I owe him a lot. And I will always be grateful to him. As a football fan, I think it sucks, to put it bluntly! But as a friend, you have to accept decisions being made. When we meet, I'll still tell him personally that I think it's sh*t that he does something like that!”

THE BIGGER PICTURE

The Red Bull brand is not at all popular in Germany, partly due to the commercial setup they have implemented at RB Leipzig and how many see it as antithetical to the nation's football values. So for Klopp to join the company just weeks after he returned to his beloved Dortmund for a testimonial match will be a slap in the face for many football supporters.
