LaLiga president, Javier Tebas tells Messi, Barcelona to reconcile ]]> La Liga president, Javier Tebas, has urged Paris Saint-Germain’s Lionel Messi and Barcelona to reconcile.

Tebas believes a potential return for Messi to Barcelona in the near future would be good for both parties after PSG’s recent elimination from the Champions League.

Messi left Barcelona to join PSG last summer after the Blaugrana failed to renew his contract due to LaLiga regulations.

The seven-time Ballon d’ Or winner has not really impressed since joining the French Ligue 1 giants and was recently booed by PSG fans following their elimination from the Champions League at the hands of Real Madrid.

“I think [Messi] he’s got two or three years left at a really good level.

“At 80 percent of what we have seen, he’s still at the highest level.

“The marriage between Messi and Barcelona was perfect and I think reconciliation would generate important economic synergies for both sides. It would be good, economically,” Tebas told ESPN.

Ghana vs Nigeria: Eguavoen replaces Wilfred Ndidi with Bonke ]]> Super Eagles coach, Augustine Eguavoen, has replaced injured Wifred Ndidi with France-based midfielder, Innocent Bonke, in his squad for the World Cup playoff against Ghana.

Ndidi will not be part of both legs against the Black Stars after suffering a knee injury in Leicester City’s 2-1 loss to Rennes in a Europa Conference League round of 16 clash on Thursday.

Leicester City boss, Brendan Rodgers confirmed Ndidi’s situation, adding that the Nigeria international may spend three weeks on the sideline.

This rules the defensive midfielder out of the two-legged matches with Ghana but Bonke has now stepped in to feel the void.

Bonke’s last game for the Super Eagles was against Central African Republic in a World Cup qualifier back in October 2021.

He has, however, played in each of Lorient’s last seven matches in the French Ligue 1.

“Camp update: Innocent Bonke has been called up as replacement for injured @Ndidi25 for the #WCQ games against #Ghana. Get well quick Wilf,” a tweet on Super Eagles official Twitter handle reads.

It’s a shame, we deserve to concede more goals – Pochettino slams PSG stars after defeat ]]> Paris Saint-Germain manager, Mauricio Pochettino, has hit out at his players for starting in the worst way possible against Monaco in a French Ligue 1 tie on Sunday.

Pochettino said his players lacked the ‘spirit’ to compete against Monaco in the first half, adding that they deserved to concede more goals.

The former Tottenham Hotspur coach also said that it is a shame that he would not be with his players for ten days due to the international break.

Two goals from Wissam Ben Yedder and a strike from Kevin Volland ensured Monaco defeated PSG.

“It’s difficult to talk. I think that we started the game in the worst way possible. It’s not acceptable to start like this and I think that’s the main reason for the defeat. After that, we weren’t in the game. I think in the first half, we deserved to concede more.

“We started better in the second half and we showed some spirit. But we need to talk about the spirit in the first half because the team can’t show that.

“The international break? The break is important, they will be on international duty. It’s a shame that we can’t be with the players for ten days, but I hope they come back fresh and focused on finishing the season in the best way,” Pochettino told PSGTV.

The result against Monaco means PSG are still on top of the Ligue 1 table with 65 points from 29 games.

Chelsea: Tuchel will remain manager, Blues fans are emotional owners – Broughton ]]> Chelsea’s potential owner, Sir Martin Broughton, has insisted that Thomas Tuchel will remain as the club’s head coach should his consortium bid to buy the West London club be successful.

Broughton, a partner with private equity company Sports Investment Partners, who is leading a consortium bid alongside World Athletics president Lord Sebastian Coe, also said that Chelsea fans are emotional owners.

Recall that the deadline to bid for Chelsea passed on Friday night and US bank, The Raine Group, have been tasked with handling the sale of the Stamford Bridge club on behalf of current owner Roman Abramovich, and multiple offers have been submitted.

Abramovich was sanctioned by the British government earlier this month, with the Russian billionaire’s assets frozen.

As a result of Abramovich’s sanctions, reports had emerged that Tuchel could leave Chelsea at the end of the season.

But Broughton, a former Liverpool and British Airways chairman, has now stated categorically that Tuchel will be kept on if he is in charge of the reigning Champions League holders.

“Do the fans want Thomas Tuchel to stay? Absolutely we want him to stay,” Broughton told talkSPORT.

“There is not a Chelsea fan around that I know that would suggest any other solution would be the right solution.

“Ultimately in all of these things, that will finish up being down to Thomas Tuchel.

“But there is only one position we will be taking.”

“Once we become the legal owners, we have to remember that the emotional ownership is actually with the fans. So you have got to involve them in one way or another,”Broughton added.

“We don’t want to sit and tell fans which ones [ownership models] we are going to introduce. I have actually met the Chelsea Supporters’ Trust.

“We said to them, which ones do you want? How do you want this to work in the future? Because we need to carry you with us. You are the emotional owners of this club.”

Chelsea: Potential new owner, Candy speaks on letting Thomas Tuchel join Man United ]]> Potential new Chelsea owner Nick Candy has told Manchester United there may be no chance of manager Thomas Tuchel leaving Stamford Bridge for Old Trafford.

Candy has sent what appeared a clear message to the Red Devils, who have in recent weeks shown interest in Tuchel following the sanction against Chelsea owner, Roman Abramovich by the British government.

The British billionaire is currently one of the leading parties that have submitted a bid to Abramovich to buy the club.

Candy, a Chelsea fan, submitted a bid of around £2bn, which he generated from the US and South Korea.

United have identified Tuchel as a shock option to replace Ralf Rangnick at the end of the season.

But Candy has made it clear he would fight tooth and nail to keep the ‘brilliant’ Tuchel at the club should he take charge at Stamford Bridge.

“Thomas Tuchel has done an incredible job at a very difficult time in the last few weeks,” Candy told The Sun

“He’s spoken brilliantly, behaved brilliantly and is a true gent.

“It’s one thing being a great manager, it’s a different thing being a great human being.

“But he’s proven that he’s not just a great manager but a brilliant human being.

“He’s got the respect of the media, he’s got the respect of the players, he’s got the respect of the fans, so all credit to him.”

EPL: Chelsea’s Rudiger agrees four-year contract with new club ]]> Chelsea defender, Antonio Rudiger has reportedly agreed to sign a four-year contract with Juventus this summer.

Rudiger’s contract with Chelsea will expire at the end of the season and the Blues cannot offer him an extension because of the UK government’s sanctions placed on the West London club owner, Roman Abramovich.

Prior to the sanction, Rudiger had been rumoured to be considering a contract extension at Chelsea, where he has established himself as an exceptional player since joining the Champions League holders from Roma for £31million in 2017.

The Germany international has already been linked with moves to the likes of Newcastle, Manchester United, Bayern Munich and Real Madrid, but he has now reportedly agreed to sign for Juventus.

That is according to Italian outlet La Gazzetta dello Sport, who say the 29-year-old has said ‘yes’ to a move to Serie A giants.

The report also added that Rudiger ‘will sign a four-year deal’ with Juventus as he prefers them over both Real Madrid and Bayern Munich and he will earn around £5.4m per season.

Meanwhile, Juventus have been masters of the free transfer market in the past.

The Old Lady signed the likes of Andrea Pirlo, Aaron Ramsey, Dani Alves and Sami Khedira in the past without paying a fee.
