An "exceptional" Rangers player has agreed an "astronomical" deal to leave Ibrox this summer and join up with former manager Steven Gerrard, according to a fresh update.

Summer of change at Rangers

Euro 2024 may be taking centre stage in the footballing world, but Philippe Clement has been having an extremely productive summer transfer window to date, already bringing in a number of new faces.

The likes of Jefte, Connor Barron, Liam Kelly and Clinton Nsiala have all arrived on permanent deals, while Oscar Cortes will spend another season on loan at Ibrox, having arrived from Lens during the January window.

It looks as though Rangers' business is far from done, with attacker Hamza Igamane seen as the next man to come in, arriving from Moroccan outfit AS FAR.

The Scottish Premiership giants have also been linked with a move for Tottenham ace Ryan Sessegnon, whose career has dipped after emerging as a hugely exciting teenager, but who could be desperate for a new challenge. He is considered someone who could provide further quality out wide alongside Cortes, too.

This has also been a summer of change when it comes to outgoings at Rangers, with a host of players moving on when their contracts expire, from Ryan Jack to Kemar Roofe. Now, another exit claim has emerged – and one that is likely to worry the supporters.

"Exceptional" Rangers hero on the move

According to a new development courtesy of Football Insider, James Tavernier has agreed to leave Rangers and join Gerrard at Saudi Pro League side Al-Ettifaq, with an "astronomical" deal on the table.

The update claims that the "package in question is believed to 'massively' increase" the Gers captain's wages, and the player himself "has accepted the contract offer".

This is undoubtedly bad news for Rangers fans, considering Tavernier has arguably been the most impressive player at Ibrox over many years, providing a remarkable amount of end product from right-back.

Granted, the Englishman's numbers are aided by the fact that he takes penalties, but a tally of 125 goals and 129 assists in 460 appearances are the kind of statistics that a striker would be happy to register in his career. Clement waxed lyrical over him last season after he recorded the highest number of assists for a British defender:

"To be there on top – it’s an amazing achievement and we’re all proud of him. I said it in the dressing room also after the game. I don’t too often point out individual players, I don’t like it too much, but I had to do it this time. All the players are really proud of him, all the staff and the fans and everybody involved with Rangers. It’s really quite exceptional."

At 32, Tavernier isn't getting any younger, so those of a more optimistic persuasion could point towards Rangers getting good money for an ageing player, but he is going to be extremely difficult to replace, both in terms of quality and leadership.

أكد مارسيل كولر المدير الفني لـ فريق الأهلي على صعوبة مباراة الغد أمام شباب بلوزداد، موضحًا أن المنافس فريق قوي ويمتلك عناصر جيدة وأن صعوبة المباراة تضاعفت، في ظل موقف الفريق الجزائري، قبل المواجهة التي تجمع بينهما ضمن منافسات دوري أبطال إفريقيا.

ويلتقي الأهلي مع شباب بلوزداد الجزائري، مساء غدٍ الجمعة على استاد 5 يوليه بالعاصمة الجزائرية، ضمن منافسات الجولة الرابعة لدور المجموعات من المسابقة القارية.

وقال كولر في تصريحات خلال المؤتمر الصحفي: “شباب بلوزداد أظهر في الشوط الأول خلال اللقاء الذي جمعه مع الأهلي بالقاهرة أنه فريق يؤدي بقوة، كما أنه قدم مستويات جيدة في الشوط الثاني للمباراة التي جمعته مع أورلاندو بيراتس، رغم الخسارة، وهو ما يستلزم من الأهلي العمل بتركيز شديد خلال مباراة الغد”.

وأكمل: “الأهلي جاهز للمباراة، وتمت دارسة كل الاحتمالات، خاصة أن شباب بلوزداد سوف يسعى بكل بقوة لتحقيق نتيجة إيجابية مستغلا بالطبع عاملي الأرض والجماهير؛ ولكننا قادرون على تجاوز المباراة وتحقيق الفوز أو على الأقل العودة بنقطة التعادل”.

وتابع: “تحدثت مع لاعبي الأهلي عقب مباراة الفريقين بالقاهرة، وشددت على ضرورة طي هذه الصفحة والعمل بكل تركيز في مباراة الفريقين غدًا، والأهلي لديه خبرات كبيرة وقادر على التعامل مع جميع ظروف المباراة”.

وعن الغيابات في صفوف الأهلي، أجاب: “معتاد على التعامل مع مثل هذه الظروف، والفريق يمتك 32 لاعبًا على نفس المستوى، ومن الوارد حدوث بعض الإصابات؛ نتيجة ضغط المباريات، وأنا دائم الحديث مع اللاعبين في هذه النقطة لتجاوزها وتقديم المستويات التي تليق بفريق في قوة وحجم الأهلي”.

وكان الأهلي واجه شباب بلوزداد خلال ديسمبر الماضي في إطار الجولة الثالثة، على ملعب استاد القاهرة الدولي، وفاز المارد الأحمر بنتيجة 6-1.

O Flamengo teve duas semanas sem jogos, mas, às vésperas de voltar a atuar pelo Brasileirão, está recebendo más notícias. Após Filipe Luís ter lesão constatada nesta quinta, o clube informou que Diego, com um edema na panturrilha direita, também segue fazendo trabalhos específicos no CT nesta manhã. Assim, o meia será mais uma baixa para o jogo contra o Palmeiras.

Além de Diego e Filipe Luís, Renato Gaúcho não deve contar com outros titulares. É o caso de Bruno Henrique, que vem se recuperando de lesão muscular desde o jogo contra o Grêmio, em 25 de agosto, pela Copa do Brasil.

O zagueiro Rodrigo Caio, por sua vez, já trabalhou com o grupo ao longo das últimas semanas e pode ser a novidade para o duelo com o Verdão. Em trabalho de reequilíbrio biomecânico e muscular desde 31 de julho, o camisa 3 fez seu último jogo pelo Fla em 25 de julho, contra São Paulo, pelo Brasileirão.

Ainda há as dúvidas em relação às participações dos atletas que retornam das Eliminatórias Sul-Americanas – Everton Ribeiro e Gabigol, pelo Brasil, Isla, pelo Chile, e Arrascaeta, pelo Uruguai, -, que atuaram na rodada desta quinta-feira.

Last season’s champions Supernovas lost by 16 runs

Sreshth Shah09-Nov-2020

The Supernovas led by Harmanpreet Kaur failed to defend their Women’s T20 Challenge title as they lost a low-scoring final of the 2020 edition to the Smriti Mandhana-led Trailblazers in Sharjah.Chasing 119, the Supernovas struggled in their chase, losing early wickets to spin and failed to recover, eventually losing by 16 runs. Kaur’s 36-ball 30 had kept the Supernovas in with a chance, but her dismissal in the 19th over allowed the Trailblazers to breathe easy and eventually seal a comfortable win.Earlier in the day, Radha Yadav’s five-wicket haul had restricted the Trailblazers to 118 for 7, a total that seemed below par at the halfway mark despite a fluent 68 from Mandhana. But as the wicket got difficult in the second innings, it was a total that in hindsight was more than competitive as the Trailblazers spinners applied the choke successfully.Mandhana shows her classThe Trailblazers captain was due a big score after making just 39 runs in the two league-stage games, but come the final, she struck the game’s only half-century, and that too at a strike-rate of 138.77. Her 49-ball 68 included five fours and three sixes.Her innings was all the more important because nobody in her team had a strike-rate of 90, and the other batters contributed just 45 runs in 72 balls. She dominated the powerplay while her opening partner Deandra Dottin (32-ball 20) struggled on the sluggish surface, and together they made 45 in six overs for the loss of no wickets.Dottin was the first Trailblazers wicket to fall in the 12th over, and once that happened, Mandhana began to take more chances. She reached her fifty three balls after Dottin’s dismissal, but was out in the 15th over, stumped off Shashikala Siriwardene trying to attempt yet another big shot. By then, though, the Trailblazers had already breached 100.Radha’s five-star showThe Trailblazers had eight wickets in hand till the end of the 17th over but went on to lose six wickets over the next 18 deliveries. That was thanks to Radha’s left-arm spin, who took two wickets in the 18th and three in the 20th to ensure the Supernovas did not have to chase a total in excess of 120.Her 5 for 16 was the best figures in the history of the competition and she earned her wickets by slowing her pace, forcing batters to try and manufacture the power, which they mostly failed, holing out to cover or in the long-on region. When she finished her spell at the culmination of the first innings, it seemed the momentum was with the Supernovas as they needed 119 to defend their Women’s T20 Challenge title.Khatun, Deepti seal the winChamari Athapaththu and Jemimah Rodrigues opened the batting for the Supernovas, and Jhulan Goswami welcomed them with some deliveries that were swinging away from the left-hand batter and into the right-hand batter. Athapaththu failed to connect with her drives with Rodrigues was finding it hard to pierce the gaps, and the partnership was broken in the second over when Sophie Ecclestone trapped the Sri Lankan lbw after a successful review.Rajeshwari Gayakwad and Deepti Sharma then applied the choke with some stump-to-stump bowling, with the latter taking the wickets of Rodrigues and Taniya Bhatia, but while Kaur was in the middle, the chase was always on despite the rising asking rate.Kaur looked to slog leg-side but a hamstring injury she suffered in the first innings was hindering his movement. That meant she struggled with the doubles.Salma Khatun, the Bangladesh international, then dismissed Siriwardene in the 15th over, and in her final over – the game’s 19th – dismissed Kaur and Pooja Vastrakar in the same over to all but end Supernovas’ hope of a win. Needing 24 off the final over, the Supernovas could make only seven as the Trailblazers sealed their win.While Mandhana was the Player of the Match, Radha was the Player of the Tournament for her eight wickets in three matches.

Over the past few years, Chelsea’s transfer strategy hasn’t followed a routine pattern in terms of cost, but there has been a common theme in terms of profiles.

It seems that Todd Boehly is looking to create a squad full of young talent that can help the club sustain success for multiple years, such as Moises Caicedo and Malo Gusto.

However, the most exciting youngster could now be Estevao Willian, who recently became a Blue until 2033.

With that in mind, let’s take a look at a Chelsea star who’s now become worth even more than the talented wonderkid, and still has plenty of potential himself.

What Chelsea paid for Noni Madueke

In January 2023, Chelsea brought the highly-rated Noni Madueke to the club in a bid to bolster the attacking department and find a permanent solution to the right-wing spot.

Prior to his move to Stamford Bridge, the attacker was playing his football in the Netherlands for PSV, where he was known as a “crazy talent” by some, including football scout Jacek Kulig.

The then-20-year-old joined Chelsea for a fee of around £31m, as he signed a seven-year contract with the option to extend for a further year.

Without the luxury of a pre-season, Madueke jumped straight into the action of the Premier League, starting seven times and scoring once, but it was last season when he began to show his true ability.

Madueke’s transfer market value in 2024

The 2023/24 campaign for Chelsea was a rather unique period, with new boss Mauricio Pochettino attempting to find his best squad.

This meant that plenty of players were rotated, and game time was somewhat infrequent, especially for Madueke, who was competing against the excellent Cole Palmer for the majority of the season.

Therefore, the Englishman only made 13 Premier League starts last campaign despite making 23 appearances, and most of them came towards the end of the Argentine’s time at the club.

Nonetheless, he truly cemented himself into the side once Palmer had been moved more centrally, scoring five goals and registering two assists, which is a respectable return considering he averaged 47 minutes per game.

Via CIES' Football Observatory

The number 11 is currently estimated to be worth around £42m by CIES’ Football Observatory, which is clearly an increase from the figure he was bought for.

Impressively, as of right now, Madueke is still much more valuable than Estevao, who joined Chelsea for an initial fee of £29m, as per Fabrizio Romano. Why is that particularly interesting? Well, they could well be fighting for the same place on the wings in the years to come.

When compared to the entire Chelsea squad, the left-footed ace is only behind Palmer, Mykhaylo Mudryk, and Nicolas Jackson for transfer value when it comes to attackers, while also being the joint-third-most valuable Englishman at Chelsea.

Usually, signing a player of the Brazilian’s quality would instantly make Madueke feel like his spot was under threat; however, the winger won’t arrive at the club until next summer.

This means that the number 11 has a full season to truly showcase what he’s all about in the Premier League and, more importantly, Enzo Maresca, and that added determination could just see him explode next year.

Overall, considering his market value has increased and he has begun to show why Kulig described him as having “enormous potential," Chelsea looks to have hit the jackpot by signing Madueke last year.
