Under normal circumstances, Edinson Cavani would not have been short of options upon leaving Paris Saint-Germain this summer. However, in the summer of coronavirus - where even Europe's biggest clubs are looking to do their transfer business on a shoestring - the Uruguayan's agent will never have had an easier gig. You can only imagine the strain on his inbox and voicemail as the summer approaches. He might be 33 years old and coming off the back of a difficult 2019/20 season which saw him net...

Diego Costa celebrated his equalising goal against Athletic Club on Sunday afternoon by holding aloft the number 14 shirt of Atletico Madrid Femenino star Virginia Torrecilla, who is recovering from brain surgery. In their first La Liga contest back after the three-month hiatus, Diego Simeone's side were held to a slightly disappointing 1-1 draw at San Mames, with Costa's finish levelling after Iker Muniain had opened the scoring for the hosts in the first half. The draw, incredibly, marked a...

Four Atletico Madrid missed the chance to move into fourth spot in La Liga on Sunday, after being held to 1-1 draw with Athletic on their return to action. Yannick Carrasco came closest to breaking the deadlock at an empty San Mames, but his low effort squirmed just wide of the post to spare Unai Simon's blushes after a bizarre slip in goal. Jan Oblak may not have played in a while, but he showed no signs of rustiness with a flying save after 32 minutes. However, he was powerless to prevent...

eal Chelsea are not close to signing Bayer Leverkusen star Kai Havertz, with all three parties said to be 'miles apart' in terms of striking a potential deal. The Blues shocked the footballing world with their move for RB Leipzig's Timo Werner at the start of June, jumping ahead of rivals Liverpool after agreeing to pay the German's £54m release clause. Chelsea have agreed to pay Timo Werner's £54m release clause at the start of June in a shock move Following that move, reports surfaced of the...

Lionel Messi played a starring role in Barcelona's 4-0 win over Real Mallorca on Saturday (no surprise there), racking up two assists and even adding a goal of his own deep into stoppage time. The Argentine wriggled his way past two defenders before firing home from inside the penalty area to net his 20th goal of the current La Liga season and extend his lead at the top of the goalscoring charts. 20+ - Lionel Messi is the only player to score 20+ goals in 12 consecutive @LaLigaEN seasons: ✅23...

Arsenal striker Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang has insisted that he is yet to make a decision about his future at the club, but added that it's up to the Gunners to make him an acceptable offer. The 30-year-old will enter the final year of his contract at the end of the season and has been heavily linked with a move away - with Barcelona, Inter and Chelsea all believed to have enquired about the striker in recent months. Aubameyang has attracted interest from Barcelona, Inter & Chelsea Given...

Arsenal striker Alexandre Lacazette is set to enter into contract talks with the club in the 'coming weeks', with Atlético Madrid still keen on a move for the Frenchman. The forward, who has two years left on his contract at Arsenal, has had a slightly disappointing season by his standards, scoring just nine times goals in 26 appearances as the Gunners have struggled both domestically and in Europe. However, with Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang's future on a knife-edge this summer, ESPN report that...

Bournemouth winger Arnaut Danjuma has revealed that he was arrested by police on suspicion of attempted murder shortly before England went into lockdown, only to be released soon after once officials realised they had the wrong man. The 23-year-old has endured a tough debut season in England, missing Bournemouth's first six games through injury and later picking up a foot problem which has kept him sidelined ever since mid-December. The Bournemouth winger has been sidelined since December with...

The Premier League has been paralysed by fear ever since the coronavirus pandemic took over. It's been a tough time for every club, but nobody has had it worse than Tottenham Hotspur. Ever since football was postponed and the UK was sent into lockdown, it has often felt like Spurs can't go two minutes without being in the public eye for the wrong reasons. Well, that's because they can't. Here, 90min takes a look at everything that has gone wrong for José Mourinho's side in lockdown. 1....

Liverpool skipper Jordan Henderson has named the top five teammates from his career thus far, springing a little bit of a surprise with his final selection. The Sunderland academy graduate joined Liverpool for a £16m fee in 2011 and has gone on to make 359 appearances for the Reds, also winning 55 caps for the England national team. Henderson arrived from Sunderland for £16m in 2011 Since he was announced as Liverpool captain in 2015, the Reds have reached back-to-back Champions League finals...

Manchester United could be close to agreeing a new contract for midfielder Angel Gomes, despite interest from rivals Chelsea, as well as clubs on the continent. The highly rated 19-year-old attacking midfielder has found first-team opportunities hard to come by, in spite of manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's predilection for giving chances to academy players. Meanwhile, the youngster's current deal is set to expire at the end of this season. While fellow youth team graduates Mason Greenwood and...

Philippe Coutinho has made plea to Jurgen Klopp to take him back to Anfield this summer and be reunited with the club he spent six years at, claims one report. Tedious doesn't quite cut it in the never ending Coutinho transfer saga, with the only certainty being that Barcelona 100%, categorically, do not really fancy him any more. His Bayern Munich venture appeared mildly successful, but they can't (or won't) pay the hefty asking price Barça are commanding, so his loan move will not be made...

One Manchester United boss Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has predicted a stellar career for Dean Henderson, backing him to become England's number one. 23-year-old Henderson has been out on loan at Sheffield United since the start of the 2018/19 season and has enjoyed a superb campaign following the Blades' return to the top flight. Only Burnley's Nick Pope (11) has kept more clean sheets than the Red Devils loanee (10) this term. Henderson is yet to make a senior appearance for United Henderson's...

Julian Nagelsmann has spoken on Timo Werner's imminent transfer from RB Leipzig to Chelsea, admitting he doesn't expect him to be at the club next season. It had looked for all the world as if Liverpool were going to be the club to snap the forward up in time for the 2020/21 season, with contact between Werner and Jurgen Klopp - as well as some public flitting - making a deal seem inevitable.

So, the basic idea of not allowing fans into stadiums is that fans aren't allowed into stadiums. We all get that. La Liga managed just three days of action before someone managed to find a way around the tight protocol (and security) as a pitch invader briefly stole the show in Barcelona's 4-0 win over Real Mallorca on Saturday night.

La Liga got back underway again on Thursday, with Sevilla running out 2-0 winners in their derby clash with Real Betis. It was a vital win for Sevilla as the three points saw them move four points clear of fourth-placed Real Sociedad and within just six points of Real Madrid - having played one game more than both clubs. It was an impressive team display on their first game back, but there was one man who grabbed the headlines for his scintillating display. Lucas Ocampos. Lucas Ocampos...

While Liverpool are runaway leaders at the top of the Premier League - despite it's best efforts, not even a global pandemic is going to stop them from winning their first top flight title for 30 years - at the bottom of the table, things couldn't be more different. Aston Villa in 19th are just four points off Brighton in 15th but have a game in hand, while just goal difference is currently keeping West Ham and Watford out of the drop zone at the expense of Bournemouth. Squeaky bum time if...

umph Barcelona marked their return to La Liga action with a comfortable 4-0 victory at the relegation-threatened Mallorca on Satuday night, extending their lead at the top to five points. Quique Setien got the dream start he'd been craving ever since Spanish football was given the green light to return, as a surging Arturo Vidal headed home expertly from a pinpoint Jordi Alba cross within two minutes. Arturo Vidal opened the scoring with an emphatic header The visitors continued to probe and...

Inter were knocked out of the Coppa Italia by Napoli on Saturday evening, drawing 1-1 on the night, but losing 2-1 on aggregate. All the talk post-match however, revolved around one superstar who never quite got into gear. Lautaro Martinez is Europe's most wanted hitman, and unfortunately for the Italian giants, the jewel in their crown has had his head turned. La Liga champions Barcelona are the club in question, and when la Blaugrana has a target in their crosshairs, they rarely miss. SS...

Finally, the wait is over. On Friday evening, calcio made its hotly-anticipated return, with more than eight million households in Italy tuning in to welcome back the beautiful game. Two hours later, most of them probably wished they hadn't bothered. Juventus and Milan served up a pain-staking 0-0 draw in Turin, which was enough for the Old Lady to step into the competition's final. In reality, it was more of a trip and a fall head-first over the line, rather than a confident stride. FT:...
