Four seasons, 183 matches, a Premier League title, an FA Cup, two League Cups, a Community Shield, a Champions League final, and a huge desire to stay at Anfield — or at least that’s what he had been saying — and now it seems an immediate separation is on the horizon. Ibrahima Konate is set to become the third key Liverpool player to leave the club this June, according to virtually all British and French media outlets. Real Madrid wanted Konate as early as last year, but Liverpool managed to convince him to stay despite entering the final year of his contract. Negotiations over an extension began immediately afterward. The French international repeatedly stated that an agreement was close and that he had always wanted to remain at Anfield, but it now appears he has changed his mind.[🟢] CONFIRMED: Ibrahima Konate is set to leave Liverpool after five years at Anfield.The 27-year-old had been in talks with the club about extending his contract but could not find common ground when it came..

Juventus’ season ended in complete disappointment. No trophies and qualification only for the Europa League is a result that sets off alarm bells in Turin. For a club whose motto is “Winning isn’t important, it’s the only thing that matters” a season like this needs to be archived as quickly as possible, lessons must be learned, and mistakes corrected. However, that may not be so simple. A huge amount of work awaits Juventus executives this summer. Dusan Vlahovic’s situation remains unresolved and the chances of extending cooperation with the Serbian striker are growing slimmer by the day. The futures of major signings Jonathan David and Loïs Openda are also uncertain after both failed to meet expectations, meaning they could leave Continassa after just one season. And an old problem has resurfaced — Douglas Luiz.##EDITORS_CHOICE##The Brazilian midfielder arrived two years ago as a marquee signing from Aston Villa in a transfer worth 51.5 million euros. He turned out to be a major disa..

Senegal are preparing for their World Cup participation. On Wednesday morning, the Teranga Lions posted its team had visited the palace of the Senegal president, Bassirou Diomaye Faye, followed by photos of squad members at an airport. The team should have boarded the plane to the USA, where they are to play two friendlies, one with the host on June 1st, and the second with Saudi Arabia June 10th. But the flight was delayed as the initial flight, which was scheduled 3.30pm was delayed twice, until 7pm and then until 11pm. This information would be totally irrelevant for any football team as these things often happen, but in this situation, the reason for delay might have been totally different.

Problems continue for Brazil and Neymar (34).
