According to a report by Centotrentuno (via Sport Witness), Cagliari midfielder Nahitan Nandez is now ‘at the top of [Fabio] Paratici’s wishlist’ and it is believed the player is now open to joining Tottenham Hotspur.

The Lowdown: Spurs in Nandez chase…

There have been no shortage of claims over the past week linking Tottenham with a swoop for the Uruguay international.

Fabrizio Romano and Sky Sports are just two reliable sources who say Spurs are indeed eyeing a swoop for Nandez as they make an approach to Calgliari.

Meanwhile, Calciomercato state that Paratici has even made an offer to sign him on loan with an obligation to buy – an operation totalling around €30 million (£25.5m).

Now, another claim from Italy has emerged with Paratici now seemingly pinpointing Nandez as a priority target.

The Latest: Nandez ‘top of Paratici’s wish list’…

As per Centorentuno (via Sport Witness), the Italian transfer chief has placed Nandez at the top of his wishlist this summer and a Tottenham bid could come soon.

[web_stories_embed url=”https://www.footballtransfertavern.com/web-stories/tottenham-latest-news/” title=”Tottenham latest news!” poster=”” width=”360″ height=”600″ align=”none”]

Spurs are apparently very keen on signing the 25-year-old this summer and ‘confirmations from London are constant’ over the player.

It is said that the Lilywhites are ‘attracted by the versatility and characteristics’ of Nandez that ‘perfectly match the style of the team’.

In another enticing claim, Centorentuno believe that the midfield ace ‘would like’ Spurs as a viable destination and wouldn’t say no to a move.

The Verdict: Get it done…

The 41-cap star could certainly come as a real bargain for Spurs and Paratici, especially considering he can also play as a right-wing back and solve their lack of depth defensively on that side.

This report claims Spurs could seal a move to sign Nandez for just a paid loan of €10 million (£8.5m) with a future fee of €15-20 million (£12.7m-£17m) – arguably pocket change for a player who has been called ‘powerful’ and a ‘machine’ by Serie A critics (Conor Clancy to This is Futbol).

At just 25, Nandez also holds the potential for plenty of sell-on value in years to come.

Glasgow Rangers fans are not best pleased with an official club update ahead of fans being able to return to stadiums in the Premiership this coming weekend.

The Gers will kick off their 2021/22 campaign on Saturday afternoon against Livingston at Ibrox. Rangers, of course, won the league in style last term and will therefore be looking to defend their title – unfortunately, fans were unable to attend grounds across Scotland due to the coronavirus pandemic.

Fortunately, this season, some fans will be able to watch the games at stadiums – 23,000 will attend for the opener at Ibrox (The Herald). However, the pandemic is not yet over, meaning there will be a number of restrictions and rules still in place. This does not seem to have gone down too well with the supporters at all.

The news of the rules were shared on Twitter by Rangers’ official Twitter account, and it attracted plenty of attention from the Gers supporters. They took to the social media platform to share their thoughts.

Let’s see what the fans had to say about the news below

In other news, this pundit slams Alfredo Morelos after a recent update.

A potentially worrying update has emerged regarding the future of Manchester United midfielder Paul Pogba.

What’s the story?

The France international has been heavily linked with a move to Ligue 1 giants Paris Saint-Germain throughout the summer after entering the final year of his contract with United.

However, the shock arrival of six-time Ballon d’Or winner Lionel Messi at the Parc des Princes meant that PSG were no longer able to finance a move for Pogba in the current transfer window.

Now, according to The Independent’s chief football writer Miguel Delaney, the Ligue 1 club are willing to pay Pogba a whopping €600,000 (£510,000) per week for the start of the 2022/23 season as they attempt to lure him away from his boyhood club. As it stands, the 28-year-old will be available on a free transfer at the end of the current season, and his preference is to leave Manchester.

Solskjaer will be absolutely fuming

Pogba came through the ranks at United after arriving in Manchester from Le Havre in 2009 but only made a handful of substitute appearances before departing for Juventus in 2012. After winning four Serie A titles and two Italian Cups during a four-year stint in Turin, the 6 foot 2 maestro returned to English shores in a then world-record £89m deal in 2016.

The Frenchman was expected to propel the Red Devils back to their former glory and inspire them to multiple major trophies, but things haven’t quite gone as planned. In 207 appearances for the Old Trafford outfit, Pogba has bagged 38 goals and laid on a further 46 assists for his teammates, winning the Europa League and EFL Cup along the way.

He has often been criticised for a lack of consistency and an apparent poor work ethic when on the pitch, although in truth United have hardly provided him with an environment built for success.

The Jose Mourinho era was a tough spell for players and fans alike, and the subsequent transitional period under Ole Gunnar Solskjaer was just about undoing the damage that the controversial Portuguese coach had caused.

However, there’s now a very different feel about the 20-time English champions. Under their Norwegian, they’ve recorded consecutive top-four finishes in the Premier League for the first time since Sir Alex Ferguson retired.

The additions of Jadon Sancho and Raphael Varane this summer could catapult United back into title contention for the first time since their legendary Scottish manager moved to the boardroom.

Pogba is also currently in the best form of his United career and has been produced top-class performances since last December. An incredible four assists on the opening day of the campaign against Leeds United over the weekend showcased his importance to the Red Devils.

Therefore, the possibility of losing him next summer will surely leave Solskjaer absolutely fuming. With the likes of Manchester City and Chelsea continuing to strengthen their squads, the Red Devils can’t afford to wave goodbye to one of their most influential and important stars.

This makes the Champions League, promoted by the national boards of India, Australia and South Africa, the highest valued cricket tournament on a per-game basis.The ten-year deal, which includes an additional $75 million for marketing the tournament, gives the network the global commercial rights to every Champions League match from this year’s inaugural event in December until 2017.The organisers confirmed the deal when they opened all the bids in Dubai on Wednesday. ESS was preferred ahead of DIC, who offered $751.3 million, and the Abu Dhabi Sports Club, whose bid was disqualified for being conditional.The deal marks ESS’s entry into the specialized Twenty20 market; it had lost out on the bid for the Indian Premier League after what seemed like a miscalculation on its part. The IPL rights were eventually sold to a consortium, including Sony Entertainment Television and the Singapore-based World Sports Group, for more than $1 billion. It had seemed like an outrageous price to pay at the time; now, after the overwhelming success of the inaugural IPL, it seems a steal.ESS are the ICC’s television rights holder until 2015 – they acquired the rights in 2006 for $1.1 billion over nine years – but the postponement of the Champions Trophy, originally due to start in Pakistan tomorrow, left them facing a long spell without a major series.Lalit Modi, the IPL commissioner, said the bidding process had been “fair and transparent”. “We have what we believe to be the best commercial deal for the inaugural Champions League Twenty20 season and for cricket fans across the world,” Modi said. “All the bids received were of a very high standard.”Modi told Cricinfo that Mumbai and Bangalore were the new “confirmed venues” for the 2008 series, while a suitable third venue will be finalised in the “next 2-3 days”. The organisers had previously scheduled the tournament in Mohali, Delhi and Jaipur, but Modi said the venues had to be changed taking into consideration the dew factor that may affect the night games in northern India during winter months.The Champions League this year will feature eight sides from India, South Africa, Australia, England and Pakistan, before expanding to a 12-team competition in 2009.

An update has emerged on reported Newcastle transfer target Will Hughes regarding Crystal Palace’s interest in his signature.

What’s the talk?

According to Football.London, the Eagles have joined the race to land the 26-year-old from Watford this summer.

The report claims that Aston Villa and Newcastle are also interested in the former Derby County player, who has one year left to run on his current contract.

Bye-bye Hayden

Newcastle midfielder Isaac Hayden has been linked with an exit from St James’ Park and his future could dictate any potential move for Hughes. Southampton are reportedly keen on the former Arsenal man and his sale could allow the Magpies to bring the Watford ace to Tyneside.

Hayden had an indistinct 2020/21 campaign as he managed a WhoScored rating of 6.67 in 24 Premier League appearances. This suggests that Steve Bruce’s side would not be greatly damaged by letting him go as he was not able to consistently provide impressive performances in the top flight.

Therefore, it could be time to wave bye-bye to Hayden and say hello to Hughes, as it could improve Bruce’s starting XI. The Watford midfielder enjoyed a superb season in the Championship for the Hornets as he averaged a WhoScored rating of 7.19 when starting in central midfield to help them secure promotion back to the Premier League at the first time of asking.

Former Watford central defender Adrian Mariappa once showered the midfielder with praise as he said of his one-time team-mate: “He’s an outstanding player. To see the quality he’s got, he has so much flair and a terrific player.”

This suggests that Hughes could come in and have a better chance of being able to catch the eye in midfield for Newcastle than Hayden, which is why the Magpies must act now to land him. He could be an upgrade on what they currently have in midfield and it would allow them to cash in on the Saints target, which could then raise funds for other signings or potentially pay for Hughes.

However, the Tynesiders must move swiftly if they are to sign the £26k-per-week gem because of this latest update. Palace are now on his trail and Aston Villa are also said to be keen, which means that Newcastle run the risk of losing out to their rivals in the race for his signature if they remain indecisive.

A round-up of the latest Pro40 matches as a number of games down to the final over

Cricinfo staff10-Aug-2008Division OneIt was a battle of England wicketkeepers at Chester-le-Street with Matt Prior edging the honours against Phil Mustard, because his 79 was a key part in a successful Sussex chase, after Mustard’s 82 boosted Durham to a challenging 221. But it was a close-run thing as Sussex squeezed home off the last ball after Ollie Rayner struggled to get one off the final three deliveries. In the end it required a scrambled single to mid-off to reach their revised 224 off 38 overs. Prior got into gear ahead of the one-day series against South Africa with his 83-ball innings, which put Sussex on track until he was stumped by Mustard. They needed 40 off five overs and Robin Martin-Jenkins helped seal the success.Mark Hardinges, who has been told he can leave Gloucestershire at the end of the season, held his nerve to guide them to a two-wicket win off the penultimate ball against Hampshire at Cheltenham. He struck 27 off 20 balls after the middle order had wasted the good work of the top three. Marcus North hit 56 off 52 balls after an opening stand of 78, but when he fell it left Gloucestershire on 189 for 6. However, the lower order had enough in the tank as Hardinges hit the winning boundary off Billy Taylor. Hampshire’s 236 for 5 was built around 88 off 91 balls from Michael Lumb and a second-wicket stand of 116 with Michael Carberry who made 56. Chris Benham’s powerful 49 boosted the final tally, but it wasn’t quite enough.Somerset secured their second Pro40 win of the season but, they too, left it late before edging home with one ball to spare against Nottinghamshire at Taunton. Regular brisk contributions from the middle order, along with Craig Kieswetter’s 57 off 85 balls, kept the target in sight. Graeme Swann made life tricky with an impressive spell which brought four wickets and it came down to four needed off the final over. Somerset were made to sweat as Mark Ealham went for just two off four balls before Omari Banks hit the winning runs. Nottinghamshire were given a solid platform by Will Jefferson’s 53 before Adam Voges controlled the innings. But a steady stream of wickets meant it needed Paul Franks’ 34 off 16 balls – including 28 off the final over – to reach 240.For a full report on Lancashire against Worcestershire at Old Trafford, and Steven Davies’ century, click here.

Division TwoA thunderous late assault from Mark Wallace carried Glamorgan to a four-wicket victory with one ball remaining against Leicestershire at Colwyn Bay on an afternoon of thrilling high scoring. The final over started with 17 needed and Wallace swung a four followed by two sixes from the first three balls. It isn’t often that an effort of 114 off 119 balls will go unrewarded, but that’s the position Jacques du Toit found himself in after the home side chased down a huge 292. Batsmen took advantage of some inviting short boundaries throughout and Wallace hit 48 off 17 balls, after coming in with 64 needed off five overs, to haul Glamorgan across the line following Ben Wright’s 45 off 29 deliveries. Michael Powell held the chase together with 81, but when he went it seemed so had Glamorgan’s hopes. Wallace had other ideas. du Toit’s efforts, though, were impressive as he smashed 14 fours and five sixes in his maiden one-day century. The innings was sealed by a stand of 97 with Dillon du Preez, who clubbed five sixes in a 23-ball 49 to follow his century against Yorkshire last week, but it would prove in vain.

Darren Pattinson has reiterated his desire to add to his one England cap even though he has a contract with Victoria for the next Australian season. He said his recent experiences have been “really difficult” for him and his family, but he is determined not to let it effect him on the field.Pattinson, who was dropped after his debut appearance at Headingley last week, appeared to suggest that he was ready to turn his back on England with his family wanting to move back to Melbourne. “A big part of it is me wanting to be in Australia for six months and playing for [Victoria],” he said. “I’ve got a meeting with the chairman of selectors in a few days to discuss a few things. But my family want to live in Melbourne, so that’s a big part of it.”However, he now says that he is determined to ensure he doesn’t join the one-cap wonder club after taking two wickets against South Africa. “It’s worked out well for me at Nottinghamshire and when I signed my only target was to prove that I could cut it at county level,” he said. “Things have moved on a lot quicker than I expected and I’ve set myself new goals which include earning further recognition for England.”Pattinson added that the last few weeks have been a tough time for his family. He hadn’t expected the type of attention he has received since surprisingly being handed his debut. “I’ve got a young family who have travelled halfway around the world with me and they have found the last month really difficult,” he said. “The media interest that has surrounded my selection was new to us and something that, naively, I didn’t expect.”I now need to focus on things that I can control and it’s been shown that if I perform well for Nottinghamshire and conditions are favourable then I can force my way into the selectors’ thoughts. It all starts with club form and I will be doing everything that I can to produce good performances for Nottinghamshire and Victoria.”Mick Newell, Nottinghamshire’s director of cricket, said that while Pattinson’s plans are currently to return and play for Victoria, as an overseas player, in October that those could change if he is handed further England honours. He has been named in the 30-man Champions Trophy squad, while there will also be a Lions tour in the winter.”The ECB have always been aware that Darren has a contract with Victoria and he’ll play for them as an overseas player this winter,” Newell said. “At this moment in time, his only winter commitments are with Victoria but if he is selected to play for England then obviously that will change.”Darren is certainly not ruling himself out of possible selection for England and we are already looking to extend his contract at Nottinghamshire. He has a long-term future in this country and he can combine that with his winter commitments in Australia.”
