Pato signs four-year deal with Villarreal

Manchester City are reportedly interested in signing star Arsenal midfielder Samir Nasri.

City are also believed to be close to agreeing a fee with the Gunners for left-back Gael Clichy, while La Liga champions Barcelona have been continually linked with a swoop for Arsenal captain Cesc Fabregas.

Nasri has been the subject of interest from a number of clubs over the past few weeks, including City s closest rivals Manchester United.

The Frenchman signed for Arsenal from Marseille in 2008 and has been one of Wenger s most impressive players over the last few seasons.

He s made 126 appearances for the Londoners, scoring 27 goals.

City could well hit Arsenal with a double blow as they are reportedly close to signing Clichy for a deal believed to be…

Sven-Goran Eriksson says it is “like a dream” to be taking charge of Liverpool for their ‘Legends’ charity match at Anfield this weekend.

The 76-year-old former England boss, who revealed in January he had been diagnosed with inoperable pancreatic cancer, will be part of the management team as the Reds play Ajax Legends in Saturday’s LFC Foundation fundraiser.

During interviews when he revealed his health issues, Eriksson said he had always been a Liverpool supporter and wanted to manage the club.

And on Friday the Swede told a press conference ahead of the charity game: “It’s like a dream.

“When I was a manager I always dreamt about Liverpool, but that never happened. It was close once, it was some discussion once, many years ago…it nev…

Francisco Silva believes Chile have earned the right to be considered a threat to Brazil at the FIFA World Cup.

Jorge Sampaoli s men could meet the World Cup hosts in the last 16, depending on how the teams finish in their respective pools.

Thus far Chile have lived up to their pre-tournament billing as dark horses, following up their opening victory against Australia with a superb 2-0 triumph over Spain, a result that signalled the end of the European s dismal World Cup defence.

Chile have one last group-stage game to come versus the Netherlands, and though they have already qualified Silva is refusing to rest on his laurels and has targeted top spot in Group B, while insisting he would not shy away from the challenge of facing Brazil, who knocked Chile out in t…

Julio Cesar basked in his redemption after helping host nation Brazil to the quarter-finals of the FIFA World Cup.

Goalkeeper Cesar famously made a crucial error as his side crashed out of the showpiece in South Africa four years ago against Netherlands.

But he atoned for that disappointment somewhat with two saves as Brazil beat Chile 3-2 on penalties at the Estadio Mineirao in Belo Horizonte on Saturday.

That was enough to give Luiz Felipe Scolari s men a place in the last eight, Neymar s spot-kick proving the winning one following a 1-1 draw over 120 minutes.

For Cesar, the result represented a complete turnaround from the emotions he felt in 2010.

He said: Four years ago, I took one, upset, sad emotional interview. And now I am repeating (it) …

Club Brugge boss Michel Preud homme has ruled out taking over from Marc Wilmots as the head coach of Belgium.

Wilmots was relieved of his duties on Friday in the wake of a disappointing 3-1 Euro 2016 quarter-final defeat at the hands of Wales.

Preud homme, who won 58 caps as a player, had emerged as one of the favourites for the role, along with former Manchester United manager Louis van Gaal.

But the 57-year-old says he has made a commitment to Club Brugge that he does not intend to break.

I promised to stay with Club Brugge and I m going to keep my word, he told Sporza. I m staying at Club Brugge. Full stop.

It s not the first time I ve been linked with the national team, but I m not a free coach.

Preud homme, who took charge at Jan B…

Thibaut Courtois showed safe hands behind the steering wheel as he got the better of Sergio Aguero in Formula One s Virtual Spanish Grand Prix.

Victory at a simulated Circuit de Catalunya went to Britain s George Russell, racing for the Williams team, who fended off Ferrari s Charles Leclerc in a gripping finish.

The battle of the footballers went the way of Real Madrid goalkeeper Courtois though, with the Belgian s Alfa Romeo placing 12th after the 33-lap contest.

Manchester City striker Aguero marked his debut in the eSport with a solid 14th place, having been battling with golf s Ryder Cup hero Ian Poulter at one stage, and the Argentinian said his debut was not bad .

Poulter ended up 18th for Renault, one place better off than Barcelona midfielder …

Manchester United s team will not be set up purely for Paul Pogba s benefit, insists manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer. 

Since his return to Old Trafford in a £89.3million move from Juventus in 2016, debate over how best to utilise Pogba s undoubted talent has frequently accompanied United s highs and lows. 

An apparent breakdown in relations with Jose Mourinho was followed by a sublime run of form from the France midfielder when Solskjaer took the reins earlier this season. 

However, like many of his team-mates, there has been a levelling off in Pogba s performances as United have lost five and won two of their past seven games in all competitions. 

Fresh reports linking the 26-year-old to Real Madrid have proved an unwelcome distraction and Sol…

Jude Bellingham has spoken out on the racist abuse directed at England team-mates Bukayo Saka, Marcus Rashford and Jadon Sancho, calling for social media platforms to do more.

Bellingham was among the substitutes for the Three Lions as they lost on penalties to Italy in Sunday s Euro 2020 final.

Saka, Rashford and Sancho each stepped off the bench in the 1-1 draw and missed spot-kicks in the 3-2 shoot-out defeat. Saka s failed effort, saved by Gianluigi Donnarumma, was decisive.

The trio were subsequently the subject of racist abuse, which the Football Association condemned, and manager Gareth Southgate described as unforgivable .

Bellingham, the 18-year-old Borussia Dortmund midfielder, added his anger on social media alongside an image showing Saka, Ra…

Dallas earned bragging rights in the Texas Derby as they clinched a spot in the MLS play-offs by accounting for Houston Dynamo 3-0.

Fafa Picault scored twice for Dallas, who ended Houston s post-season hopes on Saturday.

Franco Jara opened the scoring in the 19th minute when he slid onto a headed pass across the six-yard box from Michael Barrios.

Dallas were further rewarded for their dominance eight minutes later after Picault headed home to double the lead at Toyota Stadium in Frisco, Texas.
