[Rumours] Marid to Reject BARCAS SHOCK ISCO Move

Barcelona are weighing up a shock move for Isco but Real Madrid are unlikely to sell to their Clasico rivals

 

Isco is seen as a potential heir to Andres Iniesta at the heart of Barcelona's midfield and his contract that is due to expire in 2018 makes him a potential target.

However, reports indicate that Madrid are almost certain to turn down a Barcelona bid, meaning the Catalans will have to convince Isco to let his contract run down with the Bernabeu outfit only likely to begin extension talks next season.

France  VS  Portugal Livescore | Match Preview | Match Statistics

------------------------------

The final of Euro 2016 has been decided and will see Portugal face off against the host nation, France. Everything is now to play for and both teams will be determined to win this game and mark their names in the history books of European football.

It is quite amazing that Portugal have made it to the final of the tournament considering the fact that they were almost eliminated in the group stages of the tournament. That being said, they have managed and that shows the heart and fight in this team. This side will rely heavily on the guidance of Cristiano Ronaldo. Even though the Real Madrid superstar has yet to really make his mark, he is the biggest name in this squad and considering the inexperience of many Portuguese players, he will need to be a leader if they are to win. Portugal have a team that can upset any side on their day and if France are not careful they might just have to take the silver medal.

That being said, this France side is quite amazing. This team has pace, it has stability and it has creativity. That is something that we don’t see in many international sides. This is one of the best nation teams going around but like Portugal, there is a sense of inexperience in this team. It will be important for the likes of Pogba to be leaders rather than just good players and that might be the difference.

I am going to predict a French win here since I think they are simply too good. This should be a close game though considering the set up and the scenario of the occasion so the best betting option is the under 2.5 goals. We are getting a pretty good price on this bet so I think it is the best play here.

Januzaj to return early to Man Utd

The 20-year-old has played only 160 minutes in the Bundesliga this season and will now return to Louis van Gaal's side for the remainder of the campaign

Adnan Januzaj is set to return to Manchester United after Borussia Dortmund agreed to terminate his season-long loan.

The 20-year-old joined Dortmund on a temporary deal at the end of August but has made only 12 appearances for the club, including just 160 minutes in the Bundesliga.

United have been unhappy with Januzaj’s lack of playing time and have now moved to bring him back to Old Trafford, which should be finalised within the next 24 hours.

The request comes as Louis van Gaal looks to bolster his attacking options in the January transfer window. We also understands that Felipe Anderson remains a priority target, although the £35 million deal has been stalled as the Brazilian is involved in a dispute with Lazio over his bonuses.

Dortmund begin their warm-weather training camp in Dubai on Thursday but could not confirm that Januzaj had been included in the travelling squad.

At the end of November, Van Gaal revealed that he had warned Januzaj about the risks involved with a move to Dortmund.

“I said in advance that’s a big risk, because you have to compete with other players of a higher level and that’s not so easy,” said the Dutchman.

“It’s the same as at Manchester United. He has to compete with higher-level players. I want him to play all the matches, and that’s why I wanted to play him in the Premier League, but he chose Borussia Dortmund.”

[Barcelona] Neymar contract talks on hold

The Brazilian will not discuss a new deal with his club right now as they try and attract new sponsors - but a new link with a gambling giant could inject much-needed funds

Neymar will have to wait until 2016 to start long-awaited contract talks with Barcelona, who are hoping that new commercial links with a betting company could help the club lock down the Brazilian to a new lucrative deal.

Celta striker Nolito could also move to Camp Nou in January, but the extra cash which would come from gambling giants Botemania will be vital for the Catalans to beat off reported interest from Arsenal to clinch the signature.

After signing Arda Turan and Aleix Vidal the Catalans hand over €393 million in wages annually, out of a total budget worth €539 million. This adds up to 73 percent, some three points over the Fifa ceiling.

The club therefore aim to increase their revenue by the end of 2015, with an eye to discussing the Brazilian's wages and other transfers in the new year.

They are treading on eggshells; another contravention of the regulations and subsequent penalty would be disastrous for Barcelona's plans after a year locked out of the market.

--

A chance exists, however, for the treble-winners to bring forward their dealings. The debate will last at least until October 25, the date of the club members' Annual Assembly.

The board controlled by Josep Maria Bartomeu will present before the socios a new offer from Qatar Airways to sponsor the club shirt, as the current deal worth 30 million euros a year concludes at the end of the season.

Another possibility to inject much-needed cash emerges in the shape of gambling giants Botemania, who are in talks to sponsor the Barcelona training kit. First contact was made last week, and negotiations have continued into the present.

Operations have gone into overdrive with the imminence of the Assembly. The income from Botemania could be worth some €30 million a year, expanding the club budget and, as a result, effective salary cap.

Neymar, meanwhile, is in no rush. The player has already been informed that renewal negotiations would only start in 2016.

Betting Tips: Swedish Allsvenskan / Helsingborg VS Kalmar

Swedish Allsvenskan -- Match Time：8/1/2015 01:30 Saturday (GMT+8)
Helsingborg  VS  Kalmar Livescore | Match Preview | Match Statistics
-------------------------------
Helsingborg occupy 7th position in Swedish Allsvenskan with 24 points collected in 17 games (7 wins, 3 draws, 7 losses; goal difference 23:21). The distance to third-placed Djurgården (Europa League spot) is already 9 points so it can be very difficult for Helsingborg to chase for European places. In fact, it looks like it will be very tough to improve their current position as 6th AIK Stockholm have 6 points more at the moment. So, Helsingborg should rather look down as 8th Hacken have just 1 point less, wheras 9th Gefle 2 points less (and having played 1 game less). Anyway, Helsingborg looks at least totally safe as they have 10 points of advantage over the dangerous area. They are in fine form at the moment (3 wins, 0 draws, 2 losses in last 5). Now it is time for a home game against Kalmar. Fortunately, Helsingborg in general perform fine at its ground. Team got 16 points in 8 games played so far (5 wins, 1 draw, 2 losses; goal difference 13:5). However, both of those defeats came in last 5 home matches and that is a slightly worrying sign. It is worth to notice that Helsingborg have third-best defence in Allsvenskan considering home games.

Kalmar sit on 10th place with 19 points collected (5 wins, 4 draws, 8 losses; goal difference 19:20). They are in similar situation to Helsingborg – it can be very tough to climb up in the standings. The distance to 9th-placed Gefle is 3 points, but Gefle have played 1 game less. At the same time, Kalmar have currently 1 point of advantage over 11th Hammarby and 2 points over 12th Falkenbergs. Also, they need to watch out because they aren’t totally safe yet. Kalmar have 5 points of advantage over 14th Sundsvall (relegation play-off spot) and 6 points over 15th Örebro (drop zone). So, it can be tricky. Team isn’t in great shape recently (1 win, 2 draws, 2 losses in last 5). Now it is time for away game and their performances on the road haven’t been good so far. Kalmar got only 4 points in 8 away matches (1 win, 1 draw, 6 losses; goal difference 6:13).

All in all, I consider hosts as favourites of this game. They perform more or less fine at its ground, whereas Kalmar don’t impress on the road. Also, Helsingborg seem to be in better shape recently than Kalmar.

Pick: Helsingborg +0 @1.58
