Ivan Perisic used social media to urge Edin Dzeko to join Inter as the Roma striker expressed his sadness about Radja Nainggolan s switch to the San Siro.
Nainggolan joined Inter in a deal that could reach €40million, prompting Dzeko to post an emotional farewell to his former team-mate on Instagram.
After Nainggolan responded to the Bosnian target man, Perisic interjected to invite Dzeko to join the Belgian in Milan.
Dzeko s message to Nainggolan said: Today I m sad and it s because of you Radja.
Edin Dzeko said farewell to Radja Nainggolan in an Instagram post on Tuesday, the midfielder swapping Roma for Inter.
Inter forward Ivan Perisic then hijacked the message to cheekily tell Dzeko to follow suit!
You come as well, we re here, Per…
Yerry Mina
It’s the morning after and you have to feel for Colombia.
Los Cafeteros were a glowing sparkle in Russia with their high spirits, commendable team atmosphere and dance would that would turn heads of the professional dancers. Their glorious fighting spirit was insufficient to lead them through against roaring Three Lions who ended up eliminating the South Americans off of the penalty shootout.
Jose Pekerman’s men once again displayed a huge mental strength and refused to crack under pressure in a game they started poorly. Their confidence grew as the game pushed onwards and Colombians rose back up from a poorly executed defence plan thanks to a man who can proudly stand as Colombia’s top performer in Russia.
Barcelona defender Yerry M…

Manchester City host Bournemouth in the Premier League on Saturday as the leaders hope to extend their lead at the top of the table.
Manchester City
It’s not even Christmas yet and Manchester City are already 11 points clear at the top of the Premier League and seemingly creating new records every week. Pep Guardiola side have looked simply unstoppable this season and they will be heavily fancied to make it 17 wins in a row when they face Bournemouth at the Etihad on Saturday. Quite remarkably, City’s first game in this amazing streak was against Eddie Howe’s team at the Vitality Stadium back in August when a 97th minute Raheem Sterling goal was enough to steal all thr…
Diego Simeone was satisfied his Atletico Madrid players gave everything they had as they exited the Champions League quarter-finals at the hands of Manchester City on Wednesday.
The LaLiga side put in a spirited second-half display at the Wanda Metropolitano, yet a goalless draw meant they suffered a 1-0 aggregate defeat.
The tetchy match spilled over in the closing stages, with both sets of players clashing after Felipe s foul on Phil Foden – a challenge that saw the defender receive a second yellow card.
Simeone was also booked in stoppage-time after entering the pitch in an apparent attempt to calm down Stefan Savic, who was involved in running battles with City players throughout the game.
The ugly scenes continued in the tunnel after the game a…
Neymar s provocative tendencies make him a handful but Thomas Tuchel says Paris Saint-Germain cannot win trophies without him and Kylian Mbappe.
PSG refused to let Brazil star Neymar return to Barcelona in the close season after the clubs failed to agree on a fee for the world s most expensive player.
Neymar upset supporters in Paris with his pleas to leave but a return of four goals in six Ligue 1 games amid injury troubles have helped prove his commitment to the cause.
Head coach Tuchel, however, admits it can be tough to keep the 27-year-old in line.
He told France Info: [It s] not easy at all! He has a big, big heart, but unfortunately, he doesn t always show that he s a generous, reliable boy.
Sometimes he s provocative and it s a great pity…
24 hours after Liverpool snatched a 2-1 victory away at Aston Villa, Manchester City managed to keep up their charge for this season s Premier League crown with a stunning display in the Midlands.
Breezing past European dreamers Wolves on Wednesday night as they eventually left Molineux with a 5-1 romp to show for their troubles, the Sky Blues now just have two more top-flight fixtures to scratch off.
With attacking talisman Kevin De Bruyne bagging four individual strikes, including a first-half hat-trick, the mood in Pep Guardiola s camp certainly doesn t seem to have dampened after their Champions League exit last week.
Putting on a rampant performance away from the Etihad and once again giving their goal difference a significant boost, we have taken a look at…
Tottenham have completed the signing of defender Cristian Romero for a reported fee of £47million.
The Argentina international has put pen to paper on a reported five-year contract with the north London club.
The 23-year-old becomes Tottenham s third signing under Nuno Espirito Santo following the arrival of winger Bryan Gil from Sevilla and the loan acquisition of Atalanta goalkeeper Pierluigi Gollini, whom Romero played alongside in 2020-21.
Romero is also the second-most expensive transfer in Spurs history after Tanguy Ndombele s £53.8m switch from Lyon in 2019.
After beginning his career with spells at Belgrano and Genoa, the centre-half failed to make a competitive appearance during his two-year stint with Juventus, spending the entire time o…
Red Bull Salzburg are keeping their feet grounded as they launch their bid to reach the UEFA Champions League group stages against Qarabag.
Having dominated the Austrian Bundesliga last year, winning the league by 18 points and scoring 110 goals, Salzburg began their domestic campaign with a 6-1 mauling of last year s runners-up Rapid Vienna.
Though untouchable in their home competitions, a trip to Azerbaijan s national champions could prove a tricky test for Adolf Hutter s men in the third qualifying round of Europe s premier club competition.
Qarabag, competing in their maiden Champions League campaign, have only lost twice at home in 2014 in league and cup competitions and produced an emphatic 5-0 win against Valletta in the previous round.
Salzburg ha…
Manchester United manager Louis van Gaal has confirmed the club have agreed a one-year contract extension with midfielder Michael Carrick.

Jeonbuk Motors visit the K.League s record champions Seongnam as fellow contenders Suwon Bluewings renew the country s fiercest rivalry.
A six-game undefeated run – coupled with stumbling form from Pohang Steelers – has sent Jeonbuk five points clear at the summit with four rounds remaining before the league splits.
Lee, the division s leading marksman, will now attempt to sink the club he joined Jeonbuk from in 2009.
Seongnam, who have won an unprecedented seven crowns, are in danger of relegation for the first time.
Just one point clear of second-bottom Sangju Sangmu, Seongnam have lost their last two meetings with Jeonbuk without scoring a goal.
Second-placed Pohang Steelers will be expected to keep pressure of Jeonbuk by winning at home to…
