LOUIS SAHA DISCUSSES LIFE AFTER FOOTBALL

The former Manchester United forward Louis Saha shared with the newsmen what he called “Life After Football”.


He explained that it is crystal clear that footballers make a lot of money, meanwhile, many footballers have forgotten that away from the glitzy, glamorous lifestyle, the reality for many players after retirement is just a new world.

Many footballers find it rather challenging as financial issues could be lurking around the corner after few years.

He noted that the path to bankruptcy for many is often complicated but a pattern can be traced, he believes it is rarely due to a failed business, but is frequently down to over-spending, poor investment choices and a failure to keep the taxman tuned.

The former France international spoke further that the combination of young and rich has an allure for those wishing to sell investments that pay a huge margin, be it investments that dubiously promise to reduce tax bills or simply property that is wildly over-priced. Read more

Zidane believes that Real Madrid are not the Champions League favorite

Cristiano Ronaldo, KarimBenzema, Gareth Bale, Marcelo, Toni Kroos, Sergio Ramos and Isco are just a few of the more renowned and highly rated players that play a huge role in the squad of ZinedineZidane.


It’s because of all these world-class performers that Real Madrid is considered to be as one of the best football clubs right now, maybe even the best team that is performing and they have proved it by reaching the UEFA Champions League finals where ZinedineZidane and his squad have to face off with Juventus on June 3.

Even though Real Madrid has so many top footballers, Zidane stated that at least from his own point of view, the Spanish club are actually not the favorites of winning the UEFA Champions League as Juventus has their own merits which has helped in them reaching the finals as they overcame Barcelona in the quarter-finals and As.Monaco in the semifinals as well as many other top clubs along the way.

He’s very happy to return to the team, to be with us, and be able to play again,” Zidane said ahead of the clash. Read more

TOTTENHAM READY TO FEND OFF INTEREST ON ALLI

Fifth-placed English Premier League club Tottenham Hotspur are not strangers to having their priced jewels scooped away from their cradle.


Luka Modric and Gareth comes to mind – and from the looks of it, perennial hunters Real Madrid, a club that hardly takes “no” for an answer, doesn’t seem to be done with carting away spurs’ best players as they are reported to have been monitoring the progress of White Hart Lane’s newest golden boy Dele Alli.

With his development chart indicating of a player that have progressively grown in leaps and bounds since last season’s debut, the European sharks, the oliver-wants-some-more of club football are said to have started laying ground works to lure the young Spur out of North London, the first point of call being a massive jack-up of his current £60,000 per-week deal.

Ligue 1 defending champions PSG are also said to be interested in securing the services of the Nigeria born England international. Tottenham however are said to have strong faith in Alli’s staying put no matter how fat the bone dangled about him is. Still, there remain silent fears of the 20-year-old being tempted by the double package of playing amongst la crème dela crème of European football while doing it on a bumper pay check. Read more

VERATTI CHOOSES PSG OVER REAL MADRID

The Paris Saint-Germain midfielder Marco Verratti claims he denied the chance to join the Spanish side, Real Madrid and he is happy to stay with the France Ligue 1 champions at the moment.


The 23-year old was linked with a move away from Parc des Princes in recent months after a report bust-up with head coach Unai Emery, following his angry reaction to being substituted in their 0-0 draw with Marseille.

Verratti’s agent, Donati Di Campli, brought up a suggestion that media scrutiny on his client may lead him to making the decision of leaving France in favor of a possible return to Serie A, with Juventus and AC Milan rumored to have interest in having him.

Nevertheless, the Italian international insisted he’s happy with life at Paris Saint-German and has already turned down the opportunity to hold talks with Real Madrid.

“It is more than a refusal – I refused to negotiate with other clubs because I am happy in my team,” he revealed, as quoted by Le 10 Sport. “I was pleased by the interest though, but I could not but decided to stay to win here again as we do. Juventus are on another level in Italy, and they will win the title, like Bayern Munich in their championship, Manchester City, Real Madrid and us.” Read more

Real Madrid Wants Gareth Bale

This was seen to be coming as the 26 year old players have reached a top form and helped his country in three matches which helped them finish in the top position in Group, ahead of England even in Euro 2016. This kind of form is something that Real Madrid would want to own and harness for their own team games. For those who have been following Gareth’s wins like the 3-0 victory that Wales obtained above Russia are instances when he showcased his skills and how that can impact the wins of an entire team. While Manchester United is interested in keeping him, but Madrid team’s owner, Florentino Perez would be offering him seven years to play at Bernabeu, which is being seen as one of the most lucrative contracts in the world of football.

Real Madrid might offer a new contract to Cristiano Ronaldo

It is believed that Real Madrid is considering offering a new contract to Cristiano Ronaldo in order to keep him in Spain for the remainder of his career.


Just a few weeks back, it was reported that the Spanish side might be looking to offload their Portuguese forwards but according to some experts, things might have evolved differently in recent times.

Some people believe that a lack of possible replacement has prompted Real Madrid to keep their current star player instead of selling him. It was reported that an agreement was already in place with Paris Saint-Germain that will give the French side an advantage if ever Real Madrid decided to sell Cristiano Ronaldo.

However, with a lack of valuable replacement on the market, Real Madrid may be forced to stay with their current forward and offer him a contract extension. Given that there are other clubs such as Manchester United, Chelsea and Manchester City that will be on the market for new players in the summer, this will mean that there will be a shortage of players and too much money available. This will certainly give rise to inflationary prices, and Real Madrid will want to avoid this situation. Read more
