News of everything that happened on and off the field.
British media reported that United had reduced his losses and terminated the Chilean’s contract with him from his books.
Sanchez signed a transfer with Inter at the start of the 2019–20 season after a disappointing stint at United, where he scored five goals in forty-five games.
“Everyone at Manchester United wants Alexis Sanchez the best for his long career as he joins Inter Milan for a permanent transfer,” United said in a statement.
United was to get rid of the 31-year-old, who earns about 390,000 pounds a week according to British media, and Inter agreed to pay less than part of his salary when he was hired on loan.
United had signed Chile abroad in January 2018 after scoring 80 goals in 3-1/2 years at Arsenal, but failed to triumph at the heights of Old Trafford with Jose Mourinho and Ole Gunnar Solskjaer.
The former Barcelona player said last year that he did not regret signing for United but that he sought to have played more minutes, although the enthusiasts were frustrated by his performance and lack of goals.
Although he did not return to his prolific record at Inter, scoring only 4 goals in Serie A this season, he has become a provider to dominate the club’s standings with 8 assists at the time Juventus finished.
United is already signed by Sanchez’s replacement, and the club is connected to promising 20-year-old Borussia Dortmund striker Jadon Sancho, who could charge the Premier League team around a hundred million pounds.
The defense of the City García rejects the contract that will be offered in the midst of the ties of barca
Manchester City’s 19-year Spanish defender Eric Garcia, Barcelona’s target, has turned down a new deal with Premier League club, coach Pep Guardiola said Thursday.
The central defender born in Barcelona Garcia, of the club’s La Masia academy, joined City in 2017 and made his debut in the first this season.
“He has told us that he needs to extend his contract with Manchester City. He’s got a year left, and after that he doesn’t need to enlarge it.
“We need it but he doesn’t need to make it bigger, so I guess he needs to play elsewhere,” Guardiola said in his run-up to the Champions League with Real Madrid on Friday.
The city is unlikely to need Garcia to terminate his contract and leave for a loose transfer. His time at Etihad Stadium would possibly have ended with reports from the Spanish media suggesting that Barcelona can also make an offer for the player.
The City announced Wednesday that it had hired Dutch central defender Nathan Ake of Bournemouth, which has been relegated for a million pound payment through British media.
The club had already lost another player from its team, German winger Leroy Sane refused to remain at City to sign for Bayern Munich.
Rashford, Groenen of Manchester Utd through PFA for his netpainting paintings
Manchester United players Marcus Rashford and Jackie Groenen have won the PFA Community Champion Award for their wellness activities and contribution to the club’s founding this season, the Premier League announced Thursday.
Striker Rashford was widely praised after the BRITISH government ceded to the tension of his crusade to ensure that certain school meal vouchers were available to families suffering in England during the holidays.
The 22-year-old recalled how vouchers helped his circle of relatives as young and, through the Fareshare UK charity, helped raise around 20 million pounds to provide food to struggling families for the COVID-19 pandemic.
“I am very pleased to have won the PFA Community Champion award in what has been a season for me, both on and off the field,” said Rashford, who also won an honorary doctorate from the University of Manchester for his campaign.
“Taking advantage of these reports on children is one of the main reasons why I am so passionate about this year’s crusade to combat child poverty.”
The Dutchman Groenen, the women’s first foreign player, visited the Girls’Regional Talent Club to train young footballers and has also become ambassador to the Johan Cruyff Foundation this year.
“It’s an honor to win this award in my first year at Manchester United,” the 25-year-old midfielder said.
“As players, it is very vital to give back and be a smart role-playing style for young people. I am satisfied to be concerned and helping motivate the next generation.”
Former Spurs King defender as first-team assistant
Tottenham Hotspur appointed former captain and defenseman Ledley King as first-team assistant at scenes from coach Jose Mourinho, on Thursday announced the Premier League club.
King, who went through the Spurs youth system, made his senior debut in 1999 and spent his entire career at the North London club, making more than three hundred appearances until his retirement in 2012.
“It’s amazing to welcome Ledley to the first organization as we continue our arrangements for the new season,” Mourinho said.
“He has a great affinity with this club. Fans appreciate everything he’s accomplished as a real Spurs guy on and off the field. We have developed an intelligent relationship and hope to use your delight and knowledge.”
King, 39, replaces former assistant coach and tactical analyst Ricardo Formosinho, who left the club at the end of the season.

US billionaire Friedkin buys Italian AS Roma
American billionaire Dan Friedkin signed a $700 million deal to buy AS Roma, an Italian Serie A football club, announced the club on Thursday.
Rome said in a statement that official contracts with Houston, Texas-based Friedkin Group were signed Wednesday for a deal valued at 591 million euros.
“We look forward to complete the acquisition as soon as possible and delve into the AS Roma family,” Friedkin said on a club website.
Current President James Pallotta said either would work to complete the procedure in the coming days. The transaction is expected to close during the month.
“Over the past month, Dan and Ryan Friedkin have shown their overall commitment to finalizing this agreement and making the club move forward in a positive way. I’m sure they’ll be wonderful long-term owners of AS Roma,” Pallotta said.
This is the first stake in a Primary Sports Club of the Friedkin Group that is a consortium of automotive, hospitality, entertainment, golf and adventure companies.
These come with Imperative Entertainment, described through Friedkin Group as an “innovative entertainment studio” in California. Dan Friedkin himself made his directorial debut last year with the film Lyrebird.
Several of the US investors led by Pallotta bought AS Roma in 2012.
Pallotta, an Italian-born businessman, hired eight other coaches as he struggled to revive the club’s fortune, which won the last of his three Serie A titles in 2001.
Rome finished the moment three times under his leadership by seriously wondering about the dominance of Juventus, which has won Serie A in the last nine seasons. They also reached the Champions League semi-finals in 2017-18.
He also saw plans to build a new stadium for the club, which lately stores the Stadio Olimpico with its Neighbors Lazio, frustrated by planning problems. (1 USD – 0.8421 euros)
Manchester City points to Bournemouth Ake defence
Manchester City has signed Bournemouth defender Nathan Ake to a five-year contract, and announced the Premier League on Wednesday.
The main financial points of the measure were revealed, but British media reported that the City had paid Bournemouth 40 million pounds ($52 million) to give the 25-year-old a million pounds more to pay in add-ons.
“The City has been the most productive team in England over the last decade,” Ake said in one here. “Coming here is a dream for me. They are a more sensible team with world-class players.”
“Pep (Guardiola) is a coach admired all over the world, what he did in the game speaks for himself. The good luck you’ve had is amazing and I like the taste for football you play.”
Bournemouth was relegated from the Premier League on the final day of the season and Ake is one of their players who had to leave to continue betting on the most sensible flight.
The Dutch international, who also played as a left-back, went through Chelsea’s youth formula and was loaned first to Bournemouth before signing for the South Coast club permanently in June 2017.
Ake loaned Watford and Reading before making 121 appearances with Bournemouth in all competitions, scoring 11 times and betting more minutes in the Premier League than any other player in the club.
City, who finished the moment in the Premier League in Liverpool, is looking for his central defender as Guardiola aims to improve his team for a naming challenge next season.
Ake is the time for The City’s off-season selection after the club signed a five-year contract with Spanish winger Ferran Torres of Valencia on Tuesday as part of a deal informed through British media for 23 million euros ($27 million).
