As long as Antoine Griezmann is still interested in playing in the Major League Soccer, he will be closely monitoring Lionel Messi’s progress at Inter Miami.

As a longtime admirer of American sports and culture in general, Griezmann has previously stated that he would like to play in the Major League Soccer. Since the last 20 years, there have been a lot of big players moving to the United States, but none have had the influence of Messi, who has already altered the league since his arrival this summer.

Messi has scored a total of nine goals in six games since joining the bottom-dwelling Inter Miami, helping the team get to the Leagues Cup final. And Griezmann, a former teammate who is currently playing for Atletico Madrid and is considering a potential move to the MLS, is among those in awe of what they are seeing.

Griezmann replied when questioned about Major League Soccer, “Yes, I’ve followed it. Leo Messi is one of the best players in history. All the stadiums fill up when he plays and, since he’s been in the States, he’s winning matches. I think they’re now in a final match against Nashville. He’s an incredible player and I think the best thing that MLS has done is to sign up Leo for advertising and also for the sport’s quality. He can be the image of football in the United States.”

He continued, “Leo Messi is one of the best players in history. All the stadiums fill up when he plays and, since he’s been in the States, he’s winning matches. I think they’re now in a final match against Nashville. He’s an incredible player and I think the best thing that MLS has done is to sign up Leo for advertising and also for the sport’s quality. He can be the image of football in the United States.”

“I think the new signings, the younger players from South America, this will improve the level of the league so I think that’s the best thing they can do: sign up top-quality players so it will make the league bigger and stronger.”

Griezmann has long expressed his desire to play in the Major League Soccer (MLS). He routinely visits the United States to see NBA and NFL games because he is such a huge fan of the two sports. To win his first La Liga championship this year, he still believes he has unfinished business at Atletico Madrid.

He stated, “First of all, I would like to continue to make history here, to win the title here with Atletico. We’ll see obviously the future but for me it’s one of my objectives is to end up playing in MLS.”

This weekend, Griezmann and Atletico Madrid will play their first La Liga game when they travel to take on Real Betis. On Saturday, Griezmann’s former teammate Messi and Inter Miami will go to Nashville SC in an effort to win the Leagues Cup final and bring home the club’s first championship.

Arsenal’s Rising Star Bukayo Saka Chooses Honesty Over Dive

Bukayo Saka's Penalty Area Integrity Steals the Spotlight
Image Source- Google | Image By- outlookindia.com

Following his Saturday performance against Nottingham Forest, TalkSPORT analyst Scott Minto was all praise for Arsenal star Bukayo Saka.

The youngster’s ability to stay upright after being challenged in the penalty area of the opposition really impressed the former Chelsea player.

According to Minto, this was a breath of fresh air because nowadays going down for challenges inside the penalty area is the usual. He discussed the situation by saying (through HITC) the following:

“He is old school in how honest he is. He got inside the box there, two players marking him, he went the other side, there was a slight touch, not enough really to go down.”But I would say at least 50% of Premier League forwards would have gone down and asked the question of the referee. But he didn’t.”

Trending

One of the Gunners’ top players is without a doubt the 21-year-old winger. The aforementioned incident happened after Saka doubled Arsenal’s lead in the first half. Within the first 30 minutes, he gave Mikel Arteta’s team a 1-0 lead with a left-footed curling shot from outside the area.

Despite a late goal by Taiwo Awoniyi (2-1), the north London team managed to hold on and secure the victory. The Premier League matchup versus Crystal Palace is up next for Arsenal.

The gifted winger scored the second goal, making it two for the north London team. The young player stepped inside when William Saliba sent the ball to him at the right side of the opposition box, and he scored a spectacular curler. Cole commented following the goal (as reported by Just Arsenal): “The way he opens up, he hits it with the inside of his foot and his whole body just whips it round and it hits the net with violence. This kid is the first name on the England sheet, he’s an unbelievable player.”

The England international is off to a good start after recording 14 goals and 11 assists in the Premier League the previous season. He will be crucial to the Gunners’ success this year.

The lineup of Luis Enrique‘s team has already been revealed for the opening game against Lorient.

Neymar, Kylian Mbappe, and Marco Verratti are not among the 20 players who have been called up for PSG’s opening Ligue 1 game. Luis Enrique does not frequently contradict himself in speech, but this time, he has followed through on his threat.

“My words say things, but my actions will say even more”.

The threat from PSG was carried out. The French footballer will continue to train with the same squad of athletes that he has been with ever since the Parisians visited Japan. In order to learn how his future will be decided and what actions Nasser Al-Khelafi’s club will take about it, the French star will have to wait at least until the market’s close.

Trending

Given that both players had participated in normal training sessions this week, Verratti and Neymar’s absence was even more unexpected. Yesterday, the Brazilian player was included among the Parisian team’s flu-related absences.

In its injury report, the team stated , “Neymar Jr is recovering from a viral syndrome and is training in the gym today.”

The eight recent additions to the team are listed on the list: Arnau Tenas, Ugarte, Lucas, Asensio, Danilo, Kang In, Cher Ndour, Milan Skriniar, and Goncalo Ramos. Dembele, who was just named a new competitor in the French sport, is not included in the list.

Marc-Andre Ter Stegen, a custodian for Barcelona, declined to include himself when he listed the top three keepers in world football right now.

The three top goalkeepers in world football right now, according to the German, are Thibaut Courtois of Real Madrid, Ederson Moraes of Manchester City, and Alex Remiro of Real Sociedad. Ter Stegen stated (according to Barca Times): “The best goalkeepers in the world? I would not include myself. Well, there’s Courtois, who I think is doing a fantastic job. Ederson too. Remiro (Real Sociedad) does a good job. I could name many more but I will limit myself to three.”

While Ter Stegen may have displayed some modesty by leaving himself off the list, the German goalkeeper’s excellence cannot be disputed.

While playing for Borussia Monchengladbach, he became well-known in the Bundesliga. Ter Stegen has made 377 appearances and 157 clean sheets for Barcelona since joining the team in 2014.

When his team won the championship the previous year, Ter Stegen set a La Liga record by keeping 26 clean sheets. Without a doubt, he is currently among the top goalkeepers in football.

Right-back is one of the crucial positions that Barcelona is interested in bolstering in the summer transfer market. Joao Cancelo, a fullback for Manchester City, has always been a favourite of theirs, according to Mundo Deportivo.

The Portuguese player apparently had a falling-out with Pep Guardiola the previous season and spent the second half of the 2022–23 campaign on loan at Bayern Munich. He will likely leave the Manchester club this summer, according to expectations.

From Anfield to Al Ettifaq: Henderson Reveals Motives for Leaving Liverpool

Henderson's Bold Move: From Anfield to Al Ettifaq for Gerrard's Vision
Image Source- Google | Image By- transfermarkt.co.in

According to Jordan Henderson, one of the main factors that pushed him to leave Liverpool and join Al Ettifaq was the possibility to collaborate with Steven Gerrard.

In the summer, Henderson, who had been a Liverpool player for 12 years, parted ways with the club, moving for £12 million to Saudi Pro League outfit Al Ettifaq after being identified as a priority signing by the team’s new boss Gerrard.

During the course of his multi-year contract with Al Ettifaq, the 33-year-old is expected to make a staggering £700,000 per week to play for the Saudi club – nearly £500,000 more than he was making at Liverpool.

This week, Henderson spoke with Beanyman Sports on his choice to quit Premier League powerhouse Liverpool and his reasons for making the surprising move to Al Ettifaq.

Trending

“It’s exciting times, the project and something different is definitely a reason why I wanted to come here,” he stated. “Over the next few years, I’m sure it’ll grow and I want to be part of that. I love football so I want to try and go all over the world and I know the people in Saudi love football.

“Hopefully, we can keep continuing to grow the league over the next few years and I can be a big part of that.

“Stevie [Gerrard] was a big reason why I came, to work with him and play under him.”

Due to the country’s anti-homosexuality policies, Henderson’s relocation to Saudi Arabia has drawn criticism. The midfielder wore rainbow laces as England advanced to the Euro 2020 final and has a history of being a very outspoken supporter of the LBGTQ+ community.

Henderson is currently playing football in the Middle East, but Rainbow Laces just issued a statement urging him to keep working to make the sport more inclusive.

“We can’t deny the reality of lives for the LGBTQ+ community in Saudi Arabia, and we hope that Henderson continues his work to build towards a world where sport is everybody’s game,” the organization said.

Gabri Veiga’s Transfer Dilemma: Napoli, Premier League, or PSG?

Napoli’s Bid for Gabri Veiga: Will the €40M Release Clause Be Triggered?

Gabri Veiga's Transfer Dilemma: Napoli, Premier League, or PSG?
Image Source- Google | Image By- khelnow.com

Gabri Veiga, a young player for Celta Vigo, is reportedly in line to be signed by Italian champions Napoli before a number of Premier League teams.

Fabrizio Romano, a transfer analyst, claimed on Monday that Napoli’s €30 million (£25.8 million) offer was turned down by the La Liga club, who will only sell if the player’s €40 million (£34.4 million) release clause is triggered.

After a successful season with Celta, Veiga is one of the most sought-after players in Europe, drawing interest from teams like Arsenal, Liverpool, Newcastle United, Real Madrid, and Paris Saint-Germain.

The 21-year-old appeared increasingly likely to join PSG earlier this summer despite interest from the Premier League, but it appears that negotiations have gone down, allowing Napoli the opportunity to profit.

Trending

The Spain Under-21 midfielder was even scheduled for a medical by the French giants, according to sources.

After a few weeks, it appears that Veiga will transfer to Naples, if Rudi Garcia’s team and Celta can come to an agreement on a price or that Veiga’s £34.4 million buyout clause is satisfied.

Image Source- Google | Image By- football.london

The value of Veiga, according to Romano on Wednesday, is “€32/33m with add-ons,” and Napoli have made a new offer to recruit him. The Celta starlet has “accepted Napoli,” according to the Italian journalist.

Regarding Gabri Veiga, he tweeted: “Understand Napoli sent new formal bid to Celta Vigo for Gabri Veiga. Initial bid exclusively revealed was €30m — rejected on Monday.”

Image Source- Google | Image By- football-talk.co

“Napoli have gone higher up to €32/33m with add-ons. No green light from Celta yet but talks continue. Gabri Veiga already accepted Napoli.” The Serie A team is also close to acquiring midfielder Jean Cajuste from Stade Reims, but Romano claims that this won’t affect their ambition to acquire Veiga this summer. Cajuste, who has 15 Sweden caps, will reportedly cost Napoli €12 million.

Keeping hold of Victor Osimhen and Khvicha Kvaratskhelia following their outstanding 2022–23 season under Luciano Spaletti is a wise move on Garcia’s part.

Image Source- Google | Image By- football.london

Of the two, Osimhen appeared to be the most likely to go this summer, but the club’s enormous £150 million valuation of the Nigerian has effectively turned away potential suitors.

Following PIF’s unsuccessful effort to acquire Kylian Mbappe from PSG, Osimhen has been linked with a shocking move to Saudi Arabia.

"Breaking News: Arsenal's 4th Summer Signing Confirmed by Fabrizio Romano
Image Source- Google | Image By- football365.com

Arsenal and Brentford custodian David Raya have officially agreed an agreement, according to transfer specialist Fabrizio Romano. The Arsenal would have made their fourth addition of the summer transfer window with this acquisition.

Mikel Arteta has bolstered his team this summer after nearly losing out to Manchester City for the Premier League championship last season. Declan Rice, Kai Havertz, and Jurrien Timber have already been signed by Arsenal.

All three were included in the starting XI that defeated Manchester City in the Community Shield final on August 6, indicating that these acquisitions appeared to have paid off.

The Gunners have made their fourth signing of the summer to replace backup custodian Matt Turner, who is allegedly joining Nottingham Forest this summer. Today (August 8), Fabrizio Romano tweeted the following: “BREAKING: Arsenal have reached an agreement to sign David Raya, here we go! Deal agreed with Brentford after personal terms last week. Documents being prepared between the clubs, medical to be booked this week. Raya only wanted #AFC move.”

Trending

Romano also emphasised that more information would be provided in the ensuing hours. The overall signing package for Raya is reportedly around to £30 million. Later this week, the 27-year-old shot-stopper will have his physical before committing to a five-year contract that runs through June 2028.

For Brentford, which paid just £2.7 million to get Raya from Blackburn in 2019, this deal would result in a sizable profit. With 12 clean sheets in 39 appearances, the Spain international performed admirably for the Bees last season.

For a berth in Arsenal’s starting XI next season, Raya is anticipated to compete with Aaron Ramsdale.

Fabio Vieira Delivers Heroic Moment: Reflects on Winning Penalty Against Manchester City

Following his successful penalty kick to help Arsenal defeat Manchester City in the Community Shield final on August 6, Arsenal midfielder Fabio Vieira recently shared his thoughts.

On Sunday afternoon, the two groups fought each other at Wembley Stadium. The first half of the match was equally matched, but a long-range wonder goal by Cole Palmer for the Cityzens gave them the lead in the 77th.

Leandro Trossard’s incredible goal in the 90+11th minute forced penalties after it seemed like the game was won. Fabio Vieira’s winning penalty kick helped Arsenal defeat the opposition 4-1.

Following the match, the 23-year-old was beaming. As reported on the official Arsenal website, he stated: “It feels great. It’s my first trophy for this club, and I’m very happy to win this trophy. It’s time to rest and enjoy it. We are a team that will always believe it’s possible to score until the final [minute], and we believe altogether that we would score. Then in the penalties, we were better.”

He continued: “It was a very good moment for me in front of our fans. We have a new season ahead, it will be very difficult and we need to be together with the fans and the players, and then we go for it.”

On his punishment, he stated: “To be fair, you always feel a bit of nervousness but it’s normal. You have to stay calm and that’s what I did. I just scored the penalty and was very happy to win and to help.

Last season, in his debut year with the team, Vieira made 33 appearances, making two goals and supplying six assists. Next season, he’ll want to have more of an influence.

“We NEED to see this duo at Inter Miami…”Twitter fans Explodes with Demands to sign Lionel Messi’s ex-PSG teammate

Twitter Roars: Inter Miami Urged to Strengthen Defense with Messi’s Former PSG Partner

"We NEED to see this duo at Inter Miami…"Twitter fans Explodes with Demands to sign Lionel Messi's ex-PSG teammate

On Twitter, supporters of Inter Miami asked the club to sign Sergio Ramos, a former colleague of Lionel Messi at Paris Saint-Germain (PSG), to strengthen the defence. In their ongoing Leagues Cup round-of-16 match, the Miami-based team is currently down by a score of 2-1 to FC Dallas.

Leo Messi took the Miami-based club the lead in the sixth minute with a goal from the edge of the penalty box that he is known for shooting with his left foot, but FC Dallas has since turned the game around by scoring twice through Facundo Quignon and Bernard Kamungo.

Even if the MLS team’s attack has significantly improved since Messi’s arrival, its defensive shortcomings are still clear. That has been proven yet again by the ongoing match at Toyota Centre Stadium.

Ramos is currently a free agent after leaving PSG on June 30 when his contract expired, and as a result, supporters are pleading for the squad to sign him. Despite his advanced age, Tata Martino’s club can unquestionably benefit from the 37-year-old former Real Madrid and Spain captain, who is also one of the greatest defenders of all time.

Trending

On Twitter, one fan made an interesting note: “Inter Miami’s defence is really bad. They need a new centre-back. Hopefully they will sign a player like Ramos.”

Another fan wrote: “Please inter Miami make it happen we need Ramos. He’s still way better than Miami defense.”

For two years, Sergio Ramos and Lionel Messi played 46 games together on the field together in the French city, scoring two goals between them. The following are some of the greatest Twitter responses to the Spanish player’s potential signing by Messi’s current club:
