Manchester United targets former Ajax player

Like many European clubs, Manchester United want to strengthen their defense. Even more so with the departure of Varane looming. The Frenchman is being pushed out due to his salary and should therefore not activate the one-year option which appears in his contract. To replace it, the newspaper Sport explains that Erik ten Hag has his sights set on a former Ajax player, a certain De Ligt who now plays for Bayern Munich. Currently injured, the Dutchman will return with increased competition in his position with the recent arrival of Dier. Even more so when we know that Araujo from Barça is in the sights of the Bavarian club. Bayern could also consider selling De Ligt, far from having completely convinced since his arrival, to free up cash. To be continued.

Everton and Nottingham Forest risk big

In England, a scandal made headlines this Monday morning. THE Daily Mirror made in the pun when speaking of “breaking points”, in reference to the threat of points being withdrawn from Everton and Nottingham Forest. The Premier League announced that the two clubs in question had breached profitability and sustainability rules. As you know, each country has its own rules regarding financial fair play. In Spain, Barça is well placed to know this. In Her Majesty’s Kingdom, clubs are allowed to lose a maximum of 105 million pounds, or around 122 million euros, over a three-year period. The Toffees are accustomed to this since they have already been penalized with 10 points for breaking the rules during the 2021-2022 season. As relayed by Daily Star, Everton is mad with rage. THE Daily Mail talks about farce on its front page. An investigation will be carried out by an independent commission to determine the appropriate sanctions. In the event of a points drop, Nottingham Forest and Everton, 15th and 17th respectively, would be under threat of relegation.
