LAUTARO MARTINEZ: BARCELONA OFFER PLAYERS TO INTER MILAN IN TALKS TO SIGN STRIKER Inter asked for Arthur but were rejected, but have interest in Nelson Semedo and Carles Alena. Barcelona have begun offering players to Inter Milan in the hope of striking a part-exchange deal for Lautaro Martinez . The Argentine striker is one of Barca's top targets this summer but the financial impact of the coronavirus means they are unlikely to meet his £97m (€110m) buy-out clause. Lautaro is keen to join Barcelona and personal terms are not expected to be a problem. Discussions via intermediaries have been going on for some time and Inter are said to be warming to the idea of players in exchange, and had asked for the chance to sign Brazil midfielder Arthur - but Barca declined. However, the Italian club have been offered Nelson Semedo, who is said to be open
Pre mier League could return by mid-June in 'best-case scenario' Premier League clubs have discussed resuming the season on the weekend of 13-14 June after Uefa wrote to domestic associations stating a desire they should finish their competitions by 31 July to leave August clear for the completion of the Champions League and Europa League. The letter from European football’s governing body formed the basis of a two-hour conference call on Friday that explored how the Premier League may be concluded. While any resumption is being modelled on matches occurring behind closed doors, guiding the decision-making is the overriding principle that the National Health Service’s ability to treat those with Covid-19 should not be compromised and that it has to be at ease with the top-flight restart

However, according to a report in The Telegraph, the final could now be pushed back to August 29 - while the Europa League final in Gdansk has been provisionally earmarked to take place three days earlier. The report also claims that there have been discussions about provisionally playing the quarter-final matches from July 28/29, with the rest of the competition concluded in August. While Europa League ties would  be played in the same weeks - but there are still 10 Round of 16 matches to factor into the planning.
TRANSFER NEWS:  SANCHO TO MANCHESTER UNITED LATEST, AUBAMEYANG LEAVING ARSENAL English football has been suspended ‘indefinitely’ amidst the coronavirus crisis, and while there are hopes to resume the season in June, speculation around potential transfer for the 2020-21 season remains in full swing. 1 Real Madrid join Aubameyang race It looks increasingly like Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang will be leaving Arsenal this summer and Spain's top two are the two keenest admirers. Aubameyang is fed up with a lack of Champions League football and  Barcelona and Real Madrid are ready to give it to him... but only if they fail to sign Inter Milan's Lautaro Martinez. The Argentine is both clubs' no.1 transfer target, report Sport, with Aubameyang coming in second. Martinez only has eyes of Barcelona, and compatriot Lionel Messi, however, meaning Zinedine Zidane is ready to step up his attempts to sign Aubameyang.  2 Sane close to Bayern switch A serious knee
COVID 19- WHAT WILL BE THE PROBLEMS FACED BY LEAGUES NEXT SEASON? There will be many problems in the economy due to this pandemic. Lets see what are those. 1 SELLING OF SUPERSTARS As the leagues and the teams are facing financial crisis clubs couldn't afford to sign superstars. These leagues and clubs get money only if match is conducted. They will get from the fans who came to see the match, the sponsors on the players jearsey, from TV channels and much more. From these money they have to pay money to the coach, the players, the team officials and much more. Teams like Juventus are thinking of selling their superstar Cristiano Ronaldo who earns more in the team.    2 NO BIG SIGNINGS  Many teams could not afford to sign  players whose value is more. The most affected teams w.ill be Liverpool and Manchester City. Both these clubs have some of the most valued players in the world. Liverpool has Salah and Van Dijk while Manchester City has De Bruyne and Aguero. De Bruyne
COVID-19 WHAT HAPPENS IF ALL THE LEAGUES BE DECLARED NULL VOID As the virus is moving from one country to another FIFA and UEFA don't know when to start the leagues back. But what happens if the leagues will be declared void? Lets see. 1 LIVERPOOL'S DREAM Liverpool have not won a Premier League for the last 30 years. But this year they are the table toppers with 82 points from 29 matches. City is second with 57 points from 28 games. If Liverpool win two more matches, they will be crowned as the champions. But the virus destroyed their hopes. 2 NO RELEGATION OR PROMOTION If the season is cancelled then there will be no relegation and promotion. This might affect teams who play in the second and third division because many small teams have hard worked a lot in these divisions to enter the next division. But as the season might be cancelled they will be back at their positions once again. Also it might save teams that are on the verge of relegation. So they can pla

TRANSFER NEWS: TOTTENHAM READY TO SELL HARRY KANE TO MANCHESTER UNITED FOR 200 MILLION EUROS, BARCELONA INTERESTED FOR A SWAP DEAL. Tottenham 'ready to sell' Harry Kane Spurs chairman Daniel Levy is reportedly ready to sanction the sale of Harry Kane, providing the club's receives a world record £200m bid for the striker.

TRANSFER NEWS: RONALDO WANTS JUVENTUS EXIT . The report claims Ronaldo has an offer from Ligue 1 champions PSG, who want to partner the five-time Ballon d'Or winner with Kylian Mbappe. Ronaldo has also received a proposal from former club United and the 35-year-old wants to restore the glory days at Old Trafford, though it depends on Champions League qualification. The news has come about courtesy of AS, as they report Cristiano Ronaldo is eyeing a move away from Juventus this summer. It’s reported that he has been shown interest from Paris Saint-Germain and Manchester United, which may have swayed his decision. Cristiano Ronaldo is nearing the end of his career and it would be a surprise to me if he did retire in Italy. It was actually in Manchester where the young Portuguese boy made a real name for himself, and it is with United that he gained the attention of Real Madrid. The rest, as they say, is history. Ronaldo has had a successful stint at
MARCELO AND RONALDO: ONE OF THE BEST DUO IN FOOTBALL HISTORY When Ronaldo was at Madrid both of them played together. Both of them enjoyed nine happy years playing down the left wing together for Real Madrid. They had a telepathic relationship akin to that of Dani Alves and Lionel Messi. When Ronaldo would drift inside, Marcelo would overlap and knew exactly where to put the ball for his teammate to finish. This fruitful relationship on the pitch developed into a strong friendship off the pitch. As two of the team's vice-captains, both players became leaders within the dressing room as well as key components of Madrid's team on the field. So, you can imagine how heartbroken Marcelo was to hear that his friend and colleague was going to depart for a fresh challenge at Juventus. The Brazilian has now revealed that he didn't find out the shocking news until just before last season's Champions League final, which Madrid won 3-1 against Liverpoo
THE COMPLICATED RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN SERGIO RAMOS AND GERARD PIQUE Sergio Ramos and Gerard Pique are the best defenders in the world. They even play together for the Spanish national team. But their relationship bond is not that strong. Lets see why. Their problem started in 2010. Both of them were attending a press conference the journalist asked Pique that if he should ask his questions in Catalonian language. To which Ramos responded in a funny way saying" Ask him in Andalucian language." Most of the time they clash together because of their clubs long rivalry. During an El Classico in 2019 Ramos fouled Messi and Pique clashed with Ramos for this. Pique even humiliated Real in social media when they made Denis Cheryshev play a match though he had a suspension. Real was knocked from the tournament. Ramos responded to this" This disrespect could affect the national team. Pique should stop doing this type of foolishness" Pique even responded to
