Juventus set to offer €40m for Batshuayi

He may not be in the best form over the last few months, but Michy Batshuayi still has some heavyweight admirers.
Juventus are the latest side to be linked with a move for the Marseille hitman, with Calciomercato [as per Goal] reporting that the Serie A leaders are set to offer between €30 and 40 million to sign the Belgian international this summer.
However, Juve might have the advantage over the London pair, due to the presence of Chilean wideman Mauricio Isla, who’s currently on loan at Marseille from Juve, and may be used as a bargaining tool in negotiations between the two clubs.
The 22-year-old has scored 13 goals in 30 Ligue 1 outings this season, as OM have steadily overcome their poor start to the season. He managed seven goals in 25 showings last term, but has scored only once in his last nine league showings.

Fast forward a year, and they are preparing for their first major cup final since 2006, having finished well clear of relegation trouble this term. Having steered the Eagles through that playoff against Nurnberg, coach  Niko Kovac  set about galvanising not just the squad, but the entire club.

Although Frankfurt have twice...

Tottenham’s Dele Alli eyes Premier League debut at Manchester United

It was quite the opening statement. Dele Alli, 24 minutes into his first start in a Tottenham Hotspur shirt, suckered in Luka Modric of Real Madrid, nutmegged him and accelerated away. The 70,000 sell-out crowd at Bayern Munich’s Allianz Arena roared at the 19-year-old’s sheer impudence. "We had a laugh about it in the tunnel afterwards; he was very good about it,” Alli said. "He shook my hand and said to me: ‘You little bugger’ – or something like that. I didn’t shout ‘nuts’ when I did it. I used to do that when I was young and get told off for it." As Alli spoke at the Allianz after Tuesday’s 2-0 Audi Cup victory, some of Real’s galácticos filed past. This time last year the midfielder was preparing for MK Dons’ League One season opener against Gillingham. His previous competitive game was for MK against Yeovil in May. Alli says “unreal” and “surreal” on a number of occasions and it is little wonder. This is a young player of conviction. If the nutmeg on one of...
