Ajax star reveals he rejected Man Utd transfer despite Erik ten Hag call

Image
Ajax forward Brian Brobbey has revealed that Manchester United manager Erik ten Hag contacted him about a potential move to Old Trafford in 2022. Brobbey enjoyed two successful stints under the management of Ten Hag at Ajax - during the 2020/21 season prior to a transfer to RB Leipzig, and then again on loan in 2021/22 after his move to Germany hadn't gone to plan. Brobbey enjoyed a particularly fruitful campaign in 2021/22 under Ten Hag, scoring seven goals in 11 Eredivisie appearances after returning to Amsterdam during the winter transfer window. 90min reported back in 2022 that, following the expiration of his loan and subsequent return to parent club RB Leipzig, Manchester United had held an interest in the striker's services and that Ten Hag had reached out in order to gauge willingness to move to Old Trafford.

(Nice-Matin) Erik ten Hag is lining up another 'Ajax reunion', with striker Brian Brobbey back on the agenda. The 21-year-old has scored eight goals during 2023/24 and could be turned to as United plan for life without Anthony Martial.

Sao Paulo open to offers for Liverpool transfer target

Image
Sao Paulo are open to offer s for 20-year-old defender Lucas Beraldo, who is a player on Liverpool's transfer radar and was the subject of a bid from Wolves this past summer. Beraldo made the first-team breakthrough with Sao Paulo in the latter half of 2022 and has just finished his maiden full season at senior level, which delivered the club's first ever Copa do Brasil. He is one of a handful of emerging Sao Paulo talents coming to prominence alongside midfielders Rodrigo Nestor, 23, and Pablo Maia, 21. But as is often the case with Brazilian clubs if players are good enough to catch the eye of wealthier European sides, there is already an acceptance from general manager Rui Costa that their respective long-term futures will be elsewhere. "They are boys with very good minds, who know that the moment will come [to leave]. We'll always talk to the agent and the player," he told Globoesporte . "We ended up renewing Beraldo's contract until 2027. We will ne...

How Chelsea should have spent Todd Boehly's first €1bn on transfers

Image
Sound the alarms, people - Todd Boehly and BlueCo's transfer expenditure while in charge of Chelsea has passed the €1bn mark. When they were handed the keys to Stamford Bridge in May 2022, the Blues were 12 months removed from winning the UEFA Champions League. You know, the top prize in club football. The number one reason these big clubs compete and spend huge sums of money in the first place. For whatever reason, Boehly and co. wanted to push forward with a plan to build a young team to dominate the next decade of football without realising that's not quite how this sport works. Of the 23 players that were part of Chelsea's matchday squad for their 2021 European triumph against Manchester City, just four remain - Thiago Silva, Reece James, Ben Chilwell and Callum Hudson-Odoi. Chelsea finished 12th in the Premier League last season before Boehly stumbled into one of his only bright decisions thus far - appointing Mauricio Pochettino as head coach. But if Boehly could go...
