A última parcela da venda de Gabriel Jesus foi recebida pelo Palmeiras no mês de janeiro. Depois de pagar 9,5 milhões de euros (à época R$ 35 milhões) em agosto, o Manchester City (ING) depositou 3 milhões de euros (quase R$ 10 milhões) no início do ano.

O clube inglês ainda repassou os 12 milhões de euros (R$ 39 milhões) do jogador e de seu empresário, Cristiano Simões, além dos 7,2 milhões (R$ 23 milhões) que seriam do ex-agente do jogador, Fábio Caran. Essa última quantia, contudo, está por enquanto em uma conta à parte do Palmeiras, já que o clube e o empresário disputam a quantia na Justiça. Enquanto não sair uma decisão nos tribunais, o valor ficará separado.

O Palmeiras teve um superávit no primeiro mês do ano de quase R$ 500 mil . Houve um aumento tanto nas receitas (R$ 6,1 milhões a mais) quanto nas despesas (R$ 7,5 milhões a mais) em comparação com o orçamento previsto para o período, mas isto não teve influência no resultado do balancete. No fim, o clube acabou com o superávit de R$ 463.007,48. A última parcela da negociação de Jesus, embora tenha entrado neste mês, já havia sido lançada na época da venda, em agosto.

Neste começo de temporada o Verdão ainda recebeu perto de R$ 45 milhões do Esporte Interativo, a segunda parcela pelo acordo de transmissão de TV fechada a partir de 2019. O dinheiro já está nas contas do Verdão, mas não entrou como receita de janeiro por ser parte de um contrato futuro.

O Verdão vive bom momento financeiro, tanto que no ano passado terminou com um superávit de R$ 89,6 milhões. Para 2017, o clube ainda conta com um aumento no contrato de patrocinador – Crefisa e FAM, que antes pagavam R$ 66 milhões por ano para estampar suas marcas no uniforme, agora vão pagar R$ 74,2 milhões, contando os salários de Miguel Borja e excluindo o valor colocado para a contratação de jogadores.

West Ham United have been handed yet another devastating transfer blow this week…

What’s the word?

According to Football Insider, mooted Irons transfer target Patson Daka has rejected a move to the London Stadium as interest in his signature hots up across Europe.

It’s thought that West Ham have been among the many sides to register their interest in the prolific RB Salzburg striker but his representatives have let the East London outfit know that he seeks a move to a higher-level club this summer and as such, he has no interest in joining them.

Since then, it has been revealed that the 22-year-old is said to be ‘very keen’ on joining Premier League rivals Liverpool, who qualified for the Champions League, one year after winning the league.

Yet another blow

This is another cruel and bitter blow to David Moyes, not at least because he’ll be desperate for a new forward.

The 58-year-old cannot afford to go into the new campaign with just one senior option to lead his line – an injury-prone Michail Antonio, who has been converted into a centre-forward.

With a likely 50-plus game season on the horizon, he needs numbers across the pitch but up top is perhaps the most glaring of problems to fill right now.

[snack-amp-story url= “https://www.footballfancast.com/web-stories/read-latest-west-ham-news-transfer-gossip-rumours-staff-gsb-moyes-updates-and-more” title= “Read the latest West Ham news, transfer rumours, gossip and more!”]

Daka would’ve been an intriguing and worthwhile option, considering he’s just scored 34 goals from 42 appearances in all competitions this season, whilst also providing 12 assists as he looks to follow in Erling Haaland’s footsteps, via Transfermarkt.

He would’ve been a far cheaper option than reported no.1 target Tammy Abraham, who Chelsea are commanding a whopping £40m for. Football Insider claim the 22-cap Zambia international is available for just £17m.

The Salzburg sensation, who has been compared to Premier League legend Thierry Henry, is also someone that the fans have been desperate for – back in May, one supporter claimed it would be the “perfect signing” whilst another called him the “dream,” as per the Transfer Tavern, where more reaction can be found.

They will now be immensely gutted to not stand a chance at signing the 22-year-old goal machine, even more so after suffering a major blow to their chances of bringing Jesse Lingard back to the London Stadium.

The Sun believe the 28-year-old maestro, who enjoyed a successful half-season spell under Moyes –  scoring nine and assisting five, has told parent club Manchester United that he’d like to stay.

This news is just another devastating setback to the Irons and their transfer plans.

AND in other news, Forget Tammy: Hammers must secure £22.5m-rated “huge talent” amid ExWHUemployee claim…

Sri Lanka will not often lose games when Muttiah Muralitharan takes five wickets for nine runs, but they did lose one such match against New Zealand at Sharjah on Tuesday.New Zealand started less than ideally, the in-form Nathan Astle being caught behind off Nuwan Zoysa’s first delivery. Chris Nevin, the other opener, brushed aside the setback and proceeded to cut and drive Chaminda Vaas with panache. Zoysa, far more impressive on the day, pulled things back by having Craig McMillan caught off a mistimed pull at long leg.Stephen Fleming started shakily but soon settled down, steering his side past those two initial hiccups and fabricating a stand with Nevin. But Sri Lanka, after the drinks break, brought a dual-pronged spin attack into play, and since one of those prongs was Muttiah Muralitharan, something was bound to snap.The batsmen started to look suspect against spin, pushing and prodding indecisively. Muralitharan feeds insatiably on such mindsets, and he had Fleming (34, 46b, 4×4) in his second over. Extracting his customary prodigious turn, Muralitharan completely foxed Fleming. The southpaw could not withdraw his bat in time and almost guided the ball to slip, ending a partnership of 55.In his next over, Murali induced a pull from Scott Styris, the ball turning enough to balloon into the air and then down the throat of Vaas on the mid-wicket fence. New Zealand were 92 for four, struggling to keep afloat.Nevin, who had played seam with calm elan, had appeared in obvious discomfort against Murali. He fell in an unfortunate manner, though. A bat-pad appeal was referred to the third umpire; the replay showed that the catch was cleanly taken, but that the ball had missed the bat. The third umpire, however, was required to rule only upon the legality of the catch, so Nevin (45, 5bb, 5×5) trudged back to the pavilion.More drama reared its head. In the 26th over, Sri Lanka appealed for a catch against Mathew Sinclair, and umpire Srinivas Venkataraghavan acceded. But Sinclair stood his ground, indicating that the ball had hit his arm, whereupon Venkataraghavan called over the Sri Lankan skipper and reversed his decision – a phenomenon as common as hen’s teeth in cricket. Sanath Jayasuriya, to his credit, took the reversal sportingly.The overs between 30 and 40 tumbled past in a hurry, the spinners delivering the ball and striding quickly back to their mark. The batsmen found themselves unable to force the pace; 34 runs and one wicket came off those 10 overs, the wicket that of Matthew Sinclair (28, 55b), caught at short third man trying the reverse-sweep.A late charge came from Jacob Oram, who struck 46 (33b, 5×4, 2×6) and helped New Zealand past the 200-run mark to 218 for eight. For Sri Lanka, the undisputed star was one familiar to that role – Muralitharan, whose figures of 10-3-9-5 were, to put it mildly, fantastic.Sri Lanka lost Jayasuriya early to Daryl Tuffey, but Sangakkara and Marvan Atapattu played sensible cricket, rotating the strike and dispatching poor bowling for four. Atapattu in particular played with elegant fluidity, merely stroking the ball for it to reach the fence.Sangakkara’s dismissal thus came against the run of play. Having just hit Ian Butler for four, Sangakkara (23, 41b, 4×4) looked to pull a short ball on leg-stump. The timing, however, was off, and Tuffey took a simple catch at square leg.The runs continued to flow, steadily rather than spectacularly. Atapattu, who has played the sheet-anchor role for his side so many times, appeared to don the mantle again today. He survived a sharp chance at point, and Fleming not only grassed it but injured himself in the process. Barring that minor blip, Atapattu batted sedately, playing according to the need of the situation.Mahela Jayawardene (38, 51b, 4×4) was dismissed with the score on 125, caught at long-off in going for an expansive drive. The really big wicket, however, was that of Atapattu, the set batsman. Trying to go for an over-the-top shot in the 36th over, he only succeeded in spooning it for Ian Butler at mid-on to hold a fine catch.The required run-rate, at this stage, had crept past the six-per-over mark, and when Romesh Kaluwitharana and Russell Arnold entered the final 10-over stretch, they needed 7.2 runs per over. The pressure, unsurprisingly, got to the batsmen, and Kaluwitharana was the one to succumb, playing across the line to be leg-before-wicket to Astle.The 45th over saw both Upul Chandana and Vaas fall to Styris in trying to go for the big hit, and when Arnold (24, 44b, 2×4) was caught behind in the next over, Sri Lanka were staring down the barrel. Muralitharan holed out soon after, and Sri Lanka had 12 to get off the final over with just one wicket standing.It was the wicket that fell ultimately, giving New Zealand a slender 11-run win that looked improbable earlier in the day. Sri Lanka still top the points table after this win on the basis of Net Run Rate, and Pakistan are now under even more pressure to win their next outing in this Sharjah Cup.

Pleasantries are over, mutual admiration for deeds over recent months has been dispensed, now is the time for a good old-fashioned ding-dong battle to commence

Lynn McConnell12-Feb-2002Pleasantries are over, mutual admiration for deeds over recent months has been dispensed, now is the time for a good old-fashioned ding-dong battle to commence.It may be the one-day prelude to the real thing, but One-Day Internationals in the year leading up to a World Cup take on much more importance.New Zealand are looking for a Cup-winning formula for their team, England are looking for a team.That’s the reality as the two sides line up at a rapidly-changing Jade Stadium. Anyone with a memory long enough to remember the ground when it was called Lancaster Park will be stunned when they see the change that has come over the familiar concrete terraces on the western side of the ground.Now there is a stand, as one member of the New Zealand team put it yesterday, that “makes it look more like Melbourne than anything else”. There’ll be no problems now with the north-westerly blowing across the ground, this is a pretty sizeable obstruction. Rugby fullbacks the world over will breathe collective sighs of relief.Cricketers are not so lucky, they have no idea what effect the changes may have on the dynamics of the ground.Where there may be a problem, especially by the time two Super 12 rugby matches are played on the ground before the start of the first Test in mid-March, is light. Light for viewing, light and heat for drying and growth, light for playing.But that is all in the future. For tomorrow, the lights of the ground will be on two teams looking to get things right.The New Zealanders, having been paraded around Australia at the marketeers’ insistence, could rightly claim to be feeling more than a little knackered.CLEAR Black Caps captain Stephen Fleming insists the sheer delight at being home, in familiar environs, will be enough for his team to get themselves up and ready for an England team keen to build on the work they have done in India.Nasser Hussain has already thrown out advice to his accompanying media pack. This is a long-term campaign to pick up the art of playing one-day cricket to the level that most other Test-playing nations had sorted out years ago.It has always amused those living outside England that, for a country which plays so much one-day cricket at domestic level, the national team cannot get it right in international play.Anyway, at least the English have recognised that floggings in the two World Cups held since they were thumped in the final of the 1992 Cup is more than any country should take and they are endeavouring to achieve a higher consistency in their play.One-day cricket remains a funny thing however. New Zealand have been looking for consistency for years, not only in performance but in team personnel. Every time things look like coming right, another bowler goes down with a malady of some injurious kind.The curse struck again this week when the very answer to NZC’s marketing department prayers, Shane Bond, was forced out of the summer with a suspected stress fracture of the ankle.They are also looking for a successful opening batting partnership. This is the equivalent of the hunt for the long extinct moa. Ever since someone decided that the then greatest run scorer in New Zealand domestic one-day cricket, Bruce Edgar couldn’t open the innings, and the John Wright-Edgar partnership was broken up, the opening position has been a problem.Nathan Astle could claim to be suffering the wallflower syndrome. You know, the girl at the dance who is forever unemployed. He wants to dance to full effect but no-one wants to dance with him.It is bizarre that one player can be comfortably ensconced as the most prolific one-day batsman in the country’s international history, yet have seen more partners off than Elizabeth Taylor in triplicate.Runs. Runs at the top of the order make all the difference in the one-day game. Everyone down the order can breathe a little easier and play more like their own game.Without them life becomes miserable, and to further complicate New Zealand’s plot, the new bouncer law has been thrown in for good measure.Chris Nevin, who could rightly claim he should never have been discarded anyway, gets his chance in these first two games. Lou Vincent drops down the order. Would it be too much to expect that the nearest equivalent to Jonty Rhodes in the field in the New Zealand game could acquire some of the same gentleman’s batting habits as witnessed to such good effect over recent weeks.England could ask, have they found their genuine all-rounder in Andrew Flintoff? What is the future for Craig White? What damage can the impressive left-handers Marcus Trescothick and Nick Knight do to New Zealand’s attack?New Zealand will know by the end of the series if Daryl Tuffey has a future in the One-Day International scene. They will know whether the prospect of two fast men opening the bowling looms with Ian Butler and Bond. They will also know just where Andre Adams fits into the overall scheme of things.It is a fascinating series in prospect.Both teams have plenty to find out, about themselves and each other. The new bouncer law has eliminated some of the predictability of one-day play, while the infusion of new blood into both sides has helped ensure what could be the best one-day series in New Zealand for a number of years.

Whilst the lack of consistency was a disappointment, and would have cost usdear if it were the World Cup, Sri Lanka’s performance in the final of theSharjah ARY Gold Cup was very satisfying indeed and once again underlinedthe fact that when we play to our potential, Sri Lanka is a world classone-day side, which is very difficult to beat.It is especially heartening that we are presently winning the big games inone-day cricket. There were a few nerves on the morning of the final. Thestadium was packed full of supporters, most them cheering Pakistan with apassion, and we had lost three out of our first four games. It was a bigmatch and we went into it in poor form.Credit then to the players, who responded well to the pressure. It helped towin the toss of course. Chasing had proved difficult throughout thetournament and we had no hesitation batting first.Evening dew was not the problem that it was last October and our spinnerscould operate effectively under the lights. Moreover, we felt the ball spunmore during the evening and the fast bowlers enjoyed some extra nip in thefirst ten overs.So, why did we opt to field first against New Zealand? We were criticisedfor that decision, but the rational was simple. We wanted extra practice atchasing, an aspect of the game that had let us down on two occasions againstPakistan.Although we were glad to bat first in the final, the top order still had tocontend with the impressive Waqar Younis and Abdul Razzaq, who bowledtightly in the opening overs, restricting us to 33 runs in the first tenovers.Despite the early loss of Romesh Kaluwithrana and the relatively low scoringrate, however, Sanath Jayasuriya and Marvan Atapattu held their nerve,unlike Pakistan, who started to spill chances. We gradually raised thetempo, scoring 46 runs in the second ten overs, 53 in the third, 65 in thefourth, and 100 in the final ten. It was as good a batting performance asyou are likely to witness.Pakistan though were always in with a chance, even if they haven’ttraditionally enjoyed chasing. Ten overs of a rampaging Alfridi and it couldbe all over with the experienced Saeed Anwar and Inzaman ul-Haq waiting inthe wings.In the previous two Pakistan games we had failed to take wickets and theyhad scored freely throughout their innings. Somehow we had to reduce theirscoring rate. Deep-set fields had failed to achieve this. The likes of Anwarand Inzaman were too adept at massaging the ball into the gaps, so we had toforce them to play differently by bringing more fielders into the ring,requiring them to take more risks.As it turned out they may have started quickly once again, but they lostpriceless wickets, as Arnold, Muralitharan, and Fernando all took brilliantcatches. Saeed Anwar, who had batted brilliantly throughout the tournament,was not given the support he needed. It was a composed, professional, allround performance.This year we have won three out of the four international tournaments thatwe have participated, but we cannot rest on our laurels. There is still muchwork to be done if we are going to prosper in the next World Cup.The greatest worry at the moment is that the performance of the middleorder, which is not contributing with the necessary consistency. We have toaddress this. Personally I feel, as I have maintained throughout the past18-months, that there is no shortage of skill. The problem is mental and wehave to toughen up in this area. If we can cultivate the right frame of mindthen the consistency will follow.For the moment though it is time to rest and recuperate after five longmonths on the road. The players are tired and deserve a break. Not for toolong mind. In two weeks time the players will be getting back together tobegin preparations for the Indian tour.

Jurgen Klopp ‘increased the pressure’ on Virgil van Dijk to sit out this summer’s European Championships.

That’s according to Friday’s print edition of Dutch newspaper De Telegraaf (via Sport Witness).

The lowdown

Former PFA Player of the Year Van Dijk has been out of action since mid-October after sustaining an anterior cruciate ligament injury.

Liverpool initially coped well in his absence, topping the Premier League at Christmas, but Klopp’s side unravelled at the turn of the year and now trail Manchester City, who have regained their title, by a whopping 23 points.

However, the Reds were boosted this week by the news that Van Dijk has abandoned his Euro 2020 hopes in favour of readying himself for pre-season.

The latest

De Telegraaf claimed (via Sport Witness) that Klopp helped to force Van Dijk’s decision and adopted a deliberate media strategy of raising doubts about the centre-back’s availability.

Whilst it was unlikely that he would feature in the group stage of the competition, which will see the Oranje face Ukraine, Austria and North Macedonia, he could have been in contention for the knockout stages if Frank de Boer’s side made it that far.

The verdict

This was clearly a difficult decision for Van Dijk as the captain of his country, who have not been to a major tournament since the 2014 World Cup, but the nightmare scenario for Liverpool was the 29-year-old’s progress being undone by an all-too-hasty return to action.

The Netherlands, for their part, can still call upon the likes of Matthijs de Ligt, Stefan de Vrij and Nathan Ake at centre-back, but they may sorely miss Van Dijk’s leadership during the summer showcase.

In other news, Liverpool are set to do battle with another Premier League club for this player’s signature.

In an exclusive interview with Football FanCast, Steve Howey, who made 278 appearances during his career, has claimed that Roy Keane could be a good appointment for Celtic if they want someone who takes no prisoners.

With Eddie Howe continuing to stall over accepting the Celtic job, something his representatives have said he won’t do until at least the summer, Keane reportedly held more talks with Celtic over the role last month.

Keane has not been a manager since he was sacked by Ipswich Town in 2011 but before that, he managed to get Sunderland promoted from the Championship to the Premier League.

Speaking on how Keane could be a different option for Celtic and what he would be like as a manager, Howey exclusively told FFC:

“He obviously played there at the back end of his career so he’s already got a bond with Celtic fans, but it all depends on what the board want. Do they want somebody like Keane, who won’t take any prisoners whatsoever and will upset players because he doesn’t care?

“I think sometimes that’s the right way to go about it but you can’t really do that all the time anymore, but who am I to question Keane? For a manager to go to Celtic, it will be a huge job for them.”

Whoever is appointed as Celtic’s new manager will have a big job on their hands as they look to regain the SPFL title from Steven Gerrard’s Rangers.

Howe has reportedly held talks with Premier League clubs Crystal Palace and Newcastle United with the future of their respective managers uncertain.

Many of the Premier League’s key races at both ends of the table unfolded during the month of April.

Fulham’s failure to win a single game since a 1-0 win over Liverpool on March 7 has all but consigned them to relegation, while Manchester City know that a win over Crystal Palace on Saturday could see them wrap up the Premier League title by the end of the weekend.

The race for the top four is the last remaining sub plot containing a serious competitive edge, with Leicester City, Chelsea, West Ham United, Liverpool, Spurs and Everton all still in contention for Champions League qualification.

As the season reaches a crescendo, the month of April is a time when players can write themselves into club folklore.

With proverbial six-pointers arriving thick and fast, a series of fine displays around this time of year can define an entire campaign and, despite the tumultuous nature of this pandemic-hit campaign, the 2020/21 season has been no different in that respect.

It’s been another captivating month of football and GIVEMESPORT have found it challenging to whittle down the nominees for April’s GMS Fans’ Player of the Month award to just six candidates.

However, after analysing the statistical data and scouring our memories they’ve drawn up a shortlist of the best the Premier League has had to offer this month.

Take a look at the six candidates below, with all stats courtesy of WhoScored.

The goalkeepers

Nominees: Illan Meslier

Honorary mentions must go to Brighton & Hove Albion’s Robert Sanchez and Wolverhampton Wanderers stopper Rui Patricio, both of whom kept two clean sheets in four appearances.

However, it was impossible to look beyond the ever-impressive Leeds United youngster Illan Meslier. The 21-year-old has firmly stamped his name on the number one shirt at Elland Road this season and his last four outings have firmly vindicated Marcelo Bielsa’s enduring faith in his ability.

Meslier played a starring role in Leeds’ stunning 2-1 victory over Manchester City at the Etihad Stadium this month, while his elastic shot-stopping ability helped the Whites to restrict Man United and Liverpool to just one goal between them.

No goalkeeper that started four games has conceded less goals (3) than the prodigious Frenchman.

The defenders

Nominees: Trent Alexander-Arnold

West Ham United’s Vladimir Coufal can consider himself hard done by to miss out on a nomination having provided three assists from full-back, while Jan Bednarek finds himself in a similar bracket after topping the interceptions charts (14) and ranking second for aerial duels won (19).

However, Trent Alexander-Arnold’s performances in the face of adversity have tipped the balance. The Liverpool academy graduate has faced intense scrutiny this season and was dropped from Gareth Southgate’s most recent England squad.

But Alexander-Arnold has proven that Jurgen Klopp’s claim about Liverpool’s “mentality monsters” was more than just a fluffy headline generator. The 22-year-old provided the perfect answer to his critics with a typically devilish assist for Diogo Jota during a 3-0 win over Arsenal at the start of the month, and he followed up that moment of genius with an emphatic injury-time winner against Aston Villa.

He finished the month with one goal and a pair of assists to reaffirm his England credentials ahead of the delayed Euro 2020 tournament.

The midfielders 

Nominees: Matheus Pereira, Jesse Lingard

Christian Pulisic has endured a frustratingly injury-hit campaign but he capped four eye-catching displays with a total return of three goals during April to give Chelsea a much-needed boost in the race for the top four.

Up in the North East, meanwhile, Joe Willock has displayed a Frank Lampard-esque tendency to arrive in the penalty area at exactly the right time, helping Newcastle pull away from a relegation dogfight with three goals in three appearances.

However, this month’s nominations go to West Brom’s Matheus Pereira and Jesse Lingard, two more goal-hungry players who topped the midfield goalscoring charts with four a piece.

Pereira set the tone for his most productive month in the Premier League to date with a pair of goals and assists against Chelsea at Stamford Bridge, which included a sumptuous lob over a stranded Edouard Mendy.

He finished April with six goal contributions in four games as Sam Allardyce’s side gave themselves a slither of hope in a seemingly impossible mission to beat the drop.

As for Lingard, the hype train steaming through east London continues to gather pace. The England international has been in unrelenting form since signing for the Hammers and further sharpened his chances of earning selection for Southgate’s Euro 2020 squad with four goals and one assist in four starts for the Hammers.

The strikers 

Nominees: Kelechi Iheanacho, Mason Greenwood

Four strikers – Chris Wood, Harry Kane, Kelechi Iheanacho and Mason Greenwood – managed to average a goal per game in April, and Wood is particularly unfortunate to miss the cut having also provided three assists in an incredible month for the New Zealand international at Burnley.

However, Greenwood had only scored one goal and provided one assist all season prior to the turn of the month and added five goal contributions to his tally in just four appearances for Man United. The juxtaposition between his form pre and post April earned him selection over Wood, but there is no disputing Iheanacho’s place here.

The Nigeria international has taken the limelight off Jamie Vardy in stunning fashion and provided a regular source of goals at a crucial juncture in the season for Leicester.

His fizzing 80th minute strike to secure the Foxes a priceless three points against Crystal Palace on Monday was his fourth in as many games, while his poise, patience and precision were key in providing the assist for Timothy Castagne’s equaliser in the same game.

Inheanacho’s credentials are as strong as any.

Rangers have been linked with Morecambe winger Carlos Mendes Gomes recently and the youngster could prove to be a superb addition to Steven Gerrard’s side at Ibrox next season.

According to the Scottish Sun, Rangers could look to sign the 22-year-old after his impressive season with Morecambe in League Two and he would be available on a free transfer, due to his contract with The Shrimps set to expire at the end of the season.

Gomes is a product of Atletico Madrid’s academy but would move to West Didsbury in 2016 after failing to make the grade with the Spanish giants, before joining Morecambe in the summer of 2018.

Since then, he has made 83 appearances for the Sky Bet League Two side, in which he has contributed 14 goals and three assists, averaging a solid 6.88 rating for his performances in England’s fourth tier.

However, he has burst into life under Derek Adams this season, with 12 goals and one assist in 38 league appearances, which has helped the Lancashire side establish themselves in the playoff positions as we approach the final few games of the season.

[snack-amp-story url=”https://www.footballfancast.com/web-stories/rangers-news-ibrox-steven-gerrard-ross-wilson-gers-rfc” title=”Latest Rangers news, transfer rumours and more!”]

In a recent interview with freelance journalist Adam Goodwin, Mendes Gomes discussed his time at Atletico Madrid and claimed that during his time in Spain, he had former Real Madrid right-back Achraf Hakimi ‘on toast’ in the Madrid derby.

Considering Hakimi’s superb performances on loan at Borussia Dortmund last season earned him a £36m move to Inter during the summer, it is impressive that Mendes Gomes was able to outperform him when they were younger, and emphasises the potential that he possesses.

[freshpress-quiz id=“593776”]

Therefore, considering he will be available on a free transfer this summer, Ross Wilson should definitely try and bring him to Ibrox, as he could prove to be an excellent addition to Gerrard’s side next season.

And, in other news… Wilson should hand new deal to “immense” £25k-p/w “warrior” amid pundit claim
