Despite signing a couple of players in the January winter transfer window last month, Barcelona manager Xavi looks to be interested in making more signings for the club as he wishes to continue building the Barca team. Xavi gave Barcelona the green light to go all out and sign Adama Traore from Wolverhampton Wanderers, Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang from Arsenal, and Ferrab Torres from Manchester City. While it is still not clear why he intended to sign only attackers without bringing in reinforcements in any other department, he may well have a plan of his own.

The future of Manchester United midfielder Nemanja Matic is still a huge doubt and the Serbian star’s move away from the club could be closer than ever. Matic has dropped down the midfield pecking order at the club and has fallen behind the trio of Bruno Fernandes, Paul Pogba, and Fred in the starting lineup. United manager Olé Gunnar Solksjær reportedly wants to cash in on the midfielder this summer and there could be arrangements for that, with reports claiming that Italian Serie A giants and current Champions Inter Milan have continued to increase their interest in the player.

INTER EXTEND SERIE A LEAD

Posted on May 14, 2021 by index

Inter Milan are closing in on a first title in over a decade after the nervy win over Hellas Verona in their latest league clash on Sunday. The Nerazzuri had not won the league since the Jose Mourinho era and it looks like that league title drought is coming to an end.

Mourinho masterminded an impressive treble at Inter Milan at the end of the 2009/10 season. The Nerazzuri had won both the league and the Coppa Italia before Argentine striker Diego Milito scored twice in the Champions League final to lead Inter to a 2-0 win over German Bundesliga giants Bayern Munich thereby completing the haul of three major trophies in a season.
