Italian champions SSC Napoli, who have since slipped to 9th place in the Serie A table after just two wins in the last seven league matches, are relying on the transfer expert’s information. Fabrizio Romano According to this, just before the attacking midfielder Hamed Junior Traorè had been loaned by AFC Bournemouth. Gianluca Di Marzio also reports that the Azzurri are targeting two more professionals.

The post-championship season has proven difficult for Napoli so far. Spalletti’s successor, Rudi Garcia, had to resign in November after 16 games and a scoring average of 1.75 points; successor Walter Mazzarri managed only four victories in the first eleven matches. On Saturday, the club won 2-1 against Salernitana with a goal in the sixth minute of stoppage time. Although they survived the Champions League group stage and met FC Barcelona in the round of 16, the qualification for international business via the league is in danger. In the cup, the champions failed prematurely in the round of 16 against the newly promoted Frosinone. Since September 2023, the club has lost around €90 million in squad value due to a bad season (for statistics).

It is not surprising that the sports management is trying to find reinforcements. According to Romano, the “Cerises” professional Traorè is already on his way. The 23-year-old Ivorian international, whose contract in England runs until 2028, has just been loaned with a purchase option of 25 million euros. It seems that the parties involved have agreed on the terms of the contract, only the medical examination of the right (Site notre bureau spécialisé) measuring 1.77 meters is still pending. This is also possible in the short term as Traore was not named in the squad for the Africa Cup of Nations in his home country.

The attacking player only moved to Bournemouth last summer following a previous loan spell from US Sassuolo, but made just three league appearances in the first half of the season due to illness. The 23-year-old already has the experience of 140 appearances for Neroverdi and FC Empoli in the Italian top flight, with 18 goals and 13 assists to his name. Napoli hope that Traore can help the Mazzarri team immediately without a long adaptation period.

Naples seeks reinforcements: Barak and Pérez are also the focus

According to information from Di Marzio, the focus is also on Antonin Barak as an attacking midfielder. A loan for the 29-year-old Czech was requested from his club in Florence. The path to Udinese’s Lazar Samardžić, who was also traded to Napoli in recent weeks to succeed Eljif Elmas (24), transferred to Leipzig, probably became uncertain at first in view of the new developments – but his teammate Nehuén Pérez (contract until 2027) seems to be at the center of defense. Samardžić is also being courted by Juventus, this would be independent of the rumors about a commitment from Jordan Henderson (33 years old).

Eat. Sleep. Form. Repeat. Cristiano Ronaldo keeps the diary of an athlete who wants to take the stage at Mister Olympia. See you almost 39 years old.

For most (Site notre bureau spécialisé)ers, their physical condition deteriorates steadily over the course of their career. With CR7, you kind of get the feeling that he’s in even better shape every year. From nothing comes nothing.

The Portuguese superstar probably spends more time at the gym each week than we could in three lifetimes. Yes, it’s his job to stay in shape. But do you know a 38-year-old (Site notre bureau spécialisé)er with this kind of physique? We are not.

The key to Ronaldo’s success has always been the iron discipline with which he works to achieve his goals. He himself has emphasized this quite often. If he keeps this up, we’ll probably see him on stage alongside Chris Bumstead at some point.

Sabiri has now revealed that Borussia Mönchengladbach are also interested in the Moroccan’s services. This is what ‘Gladbach Live’ reports.

What had to happen happened, Joaquin left the stadiums for the arenas. While he had just retired last summer, the Spaniards prepared for his retraining as a bullfighter, in order to make his debut at the El Puerto de Santa María bullfighting festival.

The first registration procedures are even already underway. Joaquín also accepted the possibility of making his debut at the Real Maestranza festival in Seville, preferably as a bullfighter in the Real Plaza of El Puerto de Santa María.

Joaquin has always recognized his passion for bullfighting, but his role as a presenter on Spanish television and his former role as a player at Betis did not allow him to immediately embark on this path.

But for several weeks, the 42-year-old former (Site notre bureau spécialisé)er has been giving his all in order to be ready for the start of the season on August 4. The would have also started training little by little and would train every day.

The current joint record holder for La Liga appearances (tied with Andoni Zubizarreta) officially retired at the end of last season but continues to play an important role in Manuel Pellegrini’s plans. He is part of the Betis Board of Directors and plays a role that can be used by managers and players. He is always there with the field and is often part of the green and white club’s placements.

Sevilla FC hosted Athletic Bilbao this evening. Now you can guess how the game ended thanks to the following video:

You don’t have to come directly from Andalusia to hear that there are frustrations there. After the 2-0 defeat to Bilbao, Ramos responded to the heckling from the stands in a post-match interview on ‘DAZN’ here. “Have a little respect for the people here. And in front of the coat of arms. Have respect for the people we are talking about here. Respect the people and be quiet, come on,” were the translated words of the Seville captain.

The former Real star’s short fuse can be understood a little better by looking at the current La Liga standings. There, Sevilla, 16th, is currently only one point ahead of the relegation zone.

Barry is at 21 games

Former England international James Milner took another step towards his goal of becoming the Premier League’s record scorer on Tuesday night. When his club Brighton & Hove Albion faced West Ham United, manager Roberto De Zerbi included the 37-year-old midfielder in the starting lineup (on live ticker) – this was Milner’s 632nd appearance in the English top flight; he has participated in at least one match every year since 2002.

The former professional of FC Liverpool and Manchester City, among others, equaled Man United legend Ryan Giggs, who, however, played many more minutes in the same number of matches. Milner, making his 13th appearance this season, is now 21 games behind record holder Gareth Barry (653), who cannot be reached again this season. His contract with Brighton runs until the end of the season, but there is the possibility of extending it for another year.
