              AC MILAN EYE TOTTENHAM OUTCAST TANGUY NDOMBELE THIS SUMMER

According to Milan News, AC Milan could hold talks with Tottenham Hotspur about the possibility of signing Tanguy Ndombele when they discuss a deal for defender Japhet Tanganga. The Rossoneri are interested in signing Tanganga and are already starting discussions with the Lilywhites for their academy graduate. The English defender is likely to end up at San Siro on a potential loan move with a buy option. And he could be followed by another Tottenham star in Tanguy Ndombele, who has become a subject of interest for Milan.


Ndombele is out of favour at Tottenham Hotspur, having failed to make much of an impact in his three years at Tottenham. Having arrived in a then-club record deal in 2019, the Frenchman struggled to get going in London, failing to make an impression on any of the managers he played under at the club.

          DI MARIA OFFERED TO ATLETICO MADRID, JUVENTUS DROP OUT OF CHASE

According to a report by Italian publication Gazzetta dello Sport, Juventus will not launch the offensive to secure the services of Angel Di Maria in the summer transfer window. But Barcelona will not have a clear run at the Argentine international, with Atletico Madrid getting the chance to sign him.  Angel Di Maria might be approaching the final phase of his glittering career, but he still has a lot to offer to a high-profile club in Europe. The 34-year-old is coming off a largely successful seven-year stint with Paris Saint-Germain, where he raked in 93 goals and 119 assists in 295 appearances while winning several major honours.

But Di Maria is a free agent heading into the summer transfer window after PSG chose not to hand him a new contract. And even though the Argentine international is well into his thirties, several European bigwigs are reportedly keen on signing him, including Barcelona and Juventus. Recent reports had even claimed that Juventus had leapfrogged Barcelona in the race to sign Di Maria. The Serie A giants are in the market for a replacement for Federico Bernardeschi, who has departed from the Allianz Stadium as a free agent after running down his contract. But Juventus will not launch the offensive for Di Maria as they have other priorities this summer. Continue reading           DI MARIA OFFERED TO ATLETICO MADRID, JUVENTUS DROP OUT OF CHASE
