Recently released West Ham striker Antonio has expressed his sympathy for Isak, who has requested to leave Newcastle. Amid ongoing interest from Liverpool, the 35-year-old has suggested the Sweden international does not owe the Magpies hierarchy anything and to do the best thing for his career.

He told : "People are gonna love it or gonna hate what I'm gonna say, but I'm gonna say either way. As a player, loyalty in the game has really gone. Obviously, I was at West Ham for 10 years, that [loyalty] doesn't really last anymore, and I feel rightly so, because end of the day, clubs no longer treat players like they used to either. Why should the player be loyal to a club? I understand being loyal to fans, but being loyal to a club when he's going to try and better himself and better his life and try and achieve things that he's not going to achieve at another club."

Antonio added: "We are meat to them. As soon as we start going stale, it's time to sell or throw away. It's all about money, and how much money can they make [for] the club? If a club is going to think about the money side of things, why shouldn't a player?

THE BIGGER PICTURE

Newcastle boss Eddie Howe has opened the door for an Isak exit but the Carabao Cup holders are hoping to find a replacement for him before entertaining a Liverpool transfer. For Antonio, he said this days after his 10-year spell at West Ham came to an end, with the veteran not getting a contract extension eight months after his horror car crash. Like all elite sport, football can be a ruthless business.

While Antonio is on the lookout for a new club, it remains to be seen if former Real Sociedad man Isak, whose contract runs until 2028 at St James' Park, will still be at Newcastle when the transfer window shuts in just under three weeks.

    Son ended a 10-year spell at Tottenham when he signed for LAFC earlier this week.

The former France international is expecting a "big impact" from the 33-year-old, while being delighted to see him again.

    WHAT LLORIS SAID

    He told reporters on Friday: "It's amazing to be together again. It's a new chapter with a different jersey, but with the same ambition, same motivation … he's a big competitor. He was the captain of Spurs for the last two years. He's the captain of his national team.

    "He spent 10 years at Spurs, he did everything that he could, he won the Europa League last season. He achieved so much in the Premier League, in terms of stats, in terms of image, he's well respected all around the world. I understand that you arrive at one stage in your career, you need a new target, a new objective.

    "Seeing him coming to the MLS, it's great, you know, for the league, great for the city, great for the club, also great for our team because he's a kind of example. There's plenty of things to learn from him … so I expect him to have a really big impact."

  • THE BIGGER PICTURE

    Son, who leaves Tottenham as an all-time great after helping them win the Europa League, comes to LAFC with a big reputation. The versatile forward says he wants to help Lloris' team win trophies, and he could help them do that. They currently sit sixth in the Western Conference of Major League Soccer, so they will need to up their game if they want to come away with silverware this season.

Revealed: Liverpool's big transfer fear over Ibrahima Konate amid Real Madrid interest

Real Madrid have reportedly sent shockwaves through Anfield after opening direct lines with Ibrahima Konate over a blockbuster move to the Bernabeu. The 26-year-old has become one of the Premier League’s most dependable centre-backs at Merseyside, but his future now hangs in the balance. Madrid’s interest comes at a critical moment as his contract with the Reds runs out at the end of this season, leaving the club at risk of losing him for nothing.

Real Madrid eye shock Konate swoopLiverpool push an urgent contract extensionFear deal has already been agreedFollow GOAL on WhatsApp! 🟢📱WHAT HAPPENED?

Determined not to repeat the painful Trent Alexander-Arnold saga, Liverpool’s hierarchy are scrambling to tie Konaté down to fresh terms but fear he's already agreed a deal to move to Madrid. The club are set to table a lucrative new deal within days, hoping to keep one of Arne Slot’s few fit senior defenders at Anfield. Every possible lever is being pulled, all aimed at convincing the France international to commit his future to Merseyside. The message from the boardroom is clear: they cannot afford to see him walk away for free.

According to Liverpool's stance is firm. If Konate turns down this new offer again, the club will consider putting him on the market before the transfer window shuts. While they would rather keep him, selling now would at least ensure a minimum fee instead of watching him depart for nothing next summer.

Real Madrid, meanwhile, are quietly playing the long game. The Anfield bosses fear that Konate has already made a verbal commitment to Los Blancos. If that’s true, Madrid could simply wait until January, when Konate would be free to sign a pre-contract agreement. 

Xabi Alonso’s squad planning has also been adjusted to accommodate a potential new arrival. By keeping a place open in the senior team, by registering Franco Mastantuono with Real Madrid Castilla, the Merengues are ensuring they have space for Konate without needing to offload any existing first-team members.

In what many view as a telltale move, Liverpool have already agreed a £26 million (€30m) deal with Parma for teenage defensive prodigy Giovanni Leoni. The 18-year-old Italian youth international is expected in Merseyside this week for a medical and to finalise personal terms. The transfer all but confirms Liverpool are bracing for any eventuality, including the worst-case scenario of losing Konate before the transfer window is closed.

Ceni pretende ter Arboleda em clássico do São Paulo contra o Corinthians no domingo

MatériaMais Notícias

Arboleda é dúvida para o clássico do São Paulo com o Corinthians no próximo domingo (29), mas Rogério Ceni disse que pretender contar com o defensor para a partida. O zagueiro desfalcouo Tricolor na vitória contra Portuguesa, em outro clássico, disputado nesta quinta-feira (26).

O equatoriano foi diagnosticado com uma tendinite no joelho direito e não é certo para o confronto. Contra a Lusa, Rogério Ceni optou por Alan Franco e Beraldo como titulares, que corresponderam. Ferraresi talvez nem volte a jogar com a camisa do Tricolor paulista.

Contra o Palmeiras, o venezuelano rompeuo ligamento cruzado anterior do joelho direito e terá que passar por um procedimento cirúrgico. Ao que tudo indica, a recuperação pode demorar mais de seis meses. O seu contrato de empréstimo com o clube do Morumbi termina na metade do ano. O LANCE! apurou que havia o interesse do estafe do zagueiro em continuar no Morumbi pelo menos até o final do ano.

Mesmo com a vinda de Alan Franco para reforçar o setor nesta temporada, o desfalque inesperado de Ferraresi acendeu um alerta na diretoria sobre a possível necessidade da chegada de mais um zagueiro para o Morumbi.Podendo contar apenas com Beraldo e Alan Franco entre os mais experientes, a possível baixa de Arboleda preocupa. Além dele e Ferraresi, o departamento médico também conta com a presença de Diego Costa. O defensor foi titular na temporada 2022, mas passou por cirurgia no joelho e só deve retornar em março.

Como opção, o Tricolor pode começar a contar com Matheus Belem, relacionado contra a Portuguesa. Porém, o jogador subiu recentemente para o profissional, após a eliminação do São Paulo na Copinha, e precisa ganhar experiência. Ythallo, que ainda era cria de Cotia também, é outro zagueiro mais jovem que treinou com Rogério Ceni na última semana.

Durante a coletiva pós-jogo, Ceni comentou sobre a situação de Arboleda. O treinador diz que acredita que contará com o zagueiro contra o Corinthians, mas precisa ver os próximos treinos.

-Ele teve uma tendinite ontem, mas hoje já se sentiu melhor, conto sim com o Arboleda para o jogo de domingo, espero que ele esteja 100%, vamos ver no treino de sexta e de sábado, se correr tudo OK, vai para o jogo – disse.

Galoppo marca golaço de cobertura, mas São Paulo toma virada do Bragantino pelo Paulistão

MatériaMais Notícias

O São Pauloaté viu o seu talismã do ano aparecer. Galoppo marcou um golaço de cobertura. Mas o que parecia o enredo de uma noite positiva no interior se tornou um pesadelo: o Tricolor tomou dois gols em quatro minutos e acabou derrotado de virada por 2 a 1 para o Red Bull Bragantino na noite desta quarta-feira (8), em duelo válido pela sétima rodada do Campeonato Paulista.

No decorrer do segundo tempo, Galoppo recebeu bola longa de Alan Franco, dominou, passou pela marcação e bateu na saída do goleiro Cleiton para marcar o único tento são-paulino. Minutos depois contudo, aos 39′ e 42′, Praxedes e Thiago Borbas marcaram, respectivamente, e selaram a vitória dos mandantes.

Parecia ser uma salvação para o time tricolor, que fez um primeiro tempo apático e de pouca produtividade, com muitas poucas chances criadas, deixando os mandantes ditarem um pouco o ritmo, mas igualmente com pouca ou nenhuma efetividade. Mas após o tento de Galoppo, os visitantes acabaram recuando e abrindo espaço para o Massa Bruta, que à essa altura já contava com quatro atacantes em campo.

A noite trágica tricolor ficou completa com a saída de Erison. O atacante sentiu fortes dores no músculo posterior da coxa direita e saiu substituído ainda na etapa inicial. Em matéria de classificação, pouco muda: o São Paulo segue líder do Grupo B com 11 pontos. O Bragantino é o primeiro da Chave A, com 13.

>ATUAÇÕES: Galoppo faz golaço, mas meio de campo não ajuda em derrota do São Paulo

O JOGO

A partida começou agitada em Bragança, com as duas equipes se movimentando bastante e se arriscando com vontade no ataque. O primeiro lance de perigo veio logo aos 3′, com os mandantes. Alerrandro é lançado em profundidade, ganhou a dividida com Rafael e ficou a com a sobra, mas Beraldo fez o corte providencial para impedir o gol.

Menos de dois minutos depois, foi a vez de Artur, de novo para o Bragantino. Ele recebeu passe na profundida de Hurtado, passou pela marcação e cruzou na medida para Alerrandro, mas Alan Franco evitou o pior.

SÃO PAULO RESPONDE

A resposta tricolor foi rápida. Aos 7′, em contra-ataque, Luciano deu bom passe para Wellington Rato, que de primeira encontrou Pablo Maia na entrada da área. O volante chegou na finalização e exigiu boa aparição de Cleiton.

Aos 11′, mais São Paulo. Luciano, de novo, fez a ligação para o ataque, encontrou David com liberdade na ponta-esquerda. O atacante arrancou passando pela marcação e cruzou na medida para Erison, mas Cleiton se antecipou e fez a defesa.

JOGO CAI CONSIDERAVELMENTE E TRICOLOR ‘SOME’

A partir do lance de David, o jogo tem uma queda acentuada, de qualidade e de intensidade. Aos 19′, Hurtado recebe com liberdade e cruza com veneno. A bola cai para Bruninho, que desvia e vê Orejuela salvar o que seria um gol certo, no melhor lance do primeiro tempo.

Com uma insuportável troca de passes com pouca efetividade, São Paulo e Bragantino rarearam as chance claras de ataque. Com um jogo baseado na intermediária, as coisas iam ficando cada vez mais sonolentas. Até que aos 34′, Bruninho recebeu passe enfiado de Gustavinho, cortou Orejuela e chutou com firmeza para Rafael defender.

SANGUE, SUOR E LÁGRIMAS

Aos 36′, após disputa de bola, Erison experimentou a finalização, mas sentiu o posterior da coxa direita. Saiu de campo substituído por Galoppo às lágrimas.

O lance foi sintomático de um final de primeiro tempo arrastado, com ainda menos chances de ataque dos dois lados. O Bragantino até tentou duas finalizações, sem nenhum risco, selando o placar zerado da etapa inicial.

TRICOLOR VOLTA MELHOR DO INTERVALO

Depois de ver o domínio dos mandantes em boa parte da etapa inicial, o São Paulo voltou para o segundo tempo com mais intensidade. Aos 5, Rato cobrou escanteio perigoso, Alan Franco desviou de cabeça e por muito pouco Pablo Maia não completou de cabeça às redes.

O Bragantino até tentou responder duas vezes, ambas com cobranças de escanteio de Artur, mas a jogada mais perigosa foi novamente do clube do Morumbi. Aos 14′, Galoppo achou David em velocidade. Ele foi até a linha de fundo e cruzou na medida para Rato, de cabeça, desviar e ver Luan Patrick salvar em cima da linha.

GALOPPO MARCA UM GOLAÇO E TRICOLOR ENCAMINHA VITÓRIA

Se havia alguma dúvida da superioridade são-paulina, ela acabou aos 19′. Alan Franco faz um longo lançamento e achou Galoppo com liberdade. Ele dominou com categoria, passou como quis pela marcação e, na saída de Cleiton, mandou por cobertura. Luan Patrick ainda tentou salvar, à toa. Lance checado e confirmado pelo VAR: São Paulo 1 x 0.

Aos 25′, mais uma vez o São Paulo apareceu com perigo. Rato cobrou escanteio, a zaga do Braga afastou e a sobra ficou com Nestor. Livre, ele chutou de longe, assustando o goleiro Cleiton.

QUANDO O SONHO SE TORNA UM PESADELO

O golaço parecia a cereja de um bolo são-paulino, mas o que se viu foi o contrário. O São Paulo recuou, chamou o Bragantino e foi duramente punido. Aos 39′,Sorriso cruzou na medida para Popó, que desviou de cabeça e para em Rafael. No rebote, Praxedes completou para as redes.

Galoppo, de novo, até apareceu aos 40′ na área com um bom chute. Mas quem riu por último foi o dono da casa. Aos 42′,Artur fez bela jogada individual e achou Praxedes com liberdade. O camisa 25 acionou Thiago Borbas, que dominou, soltou o chute de canhota e viu a bola desviar em Welington para entrar no ângulo de Rafael e selar a virada.

PRÓXIMA RODADA

Gianluigi Donnarumma, Diogo Costa and six goalkeepers Man Utd should be targeting to displace Andre Onana and Altay Bayindir

The Turkey international's costly error against Arsenal has further underlined the Red Devils' need to sign a new No.1 before the window closes

Manchester United's lack of a reliable goalkeeper has been the elephant in the room throughout the summer transfer window, and on Sunday against Arsenal it started swinging its trunk around while making a deafening trumpet sound. Thousands of heads fell into their hands at Old Trafford when Altay Bayindir palmed Declan Rice's corner back towards his goal-line and onto the grateful head of Ricardo Calafiori – and to think that some United fans thought that Andre Onana missing the game was a good thing!…

Bayindir's error cost United at least a point from a game that Ruben Amorim justifiably claimed his side should have won, and thus gave the coach another strong argument to make to sporting director Jason Wilcox about the need to sign another 'keeper. Although he would never say it publicly, it seems evident that Amorim does not truly trust Onana or Bayindir, or indeed third-choice Tom Heaton.

He did not exactly give a stern defence of Onana when he made two massive errors against Lyon last season, and indeed dropped him for the following game at Newcastle to take the Cameroonian out of the firing line. Nor did Amorim properly defend Bayindir's abilities on Sunday, only pointing to when he last faced Arsenal in January's FA Cup tie. The Turkey goalkeeper did do himself proud that day, saving Martin Odegaard's penalty in normal time and proving the hero in the shootout, but it was practically the only good performance he has produced since signing for United from Fenerbahce – where fans grew so frustrated with him that one hurled a water bottle at him. Bayindir has conceded 21 times in his 12 games with United, and made at least three errors that have directly led to goals.

So with just two weeks to go until the transfer window closes, GOAL takes a look at the goalkeepers United should be looking to sign so they no longer have to rely upon Onana and Bayindir…

AFPGianluigi Donnarumma (PSG)

Gianluigi Donnarumma is the goalkeeper United should be looking to sign first and foremost. The Italian has won almost all the biggest trophies going for club and country, and his 6'5 frame makes him an intimidating presence at penalties, as England and Liverpool have found out to their cost in the last few years.

What's more, Donnarumma is on the market after being ruthlessly left out of the Paris Saint-Germain squad by Luis Enrique following the signing of Lucas Chevalier.

The Italy No.1 is both highly-experienced and still has a long career ahead of him at the age of 26, but United need to move quickly if they are to land Donnarumma, as Manchester City are also paying close attention to his situation amid the growing possibility that Ederson leaves for Galatasaray.

Amorim will barely need to ask for a scouting report on Diogo Costa as he came up against the Porto goalkeeper on countless occasions during his five-year spell in Portugal in charge of Braga and then Sporting CP. According to several reports, the 25-year-old is Amorim's favourite goalkeeper and the one he wants to sign if funds are made available.

Like Donnarumma, Costa boasts an incredible penalty-saving record – he became the first player to keep out three spot-kicks in a European Championship match when Portugal beat Slovenia in Euro 2024, and also saved three consecutive kicks during the 2023-24 Champions League group stages. He also has the leadership traits that Gary Neville urged United to consider when picking a new No. 1, having been named Porto's captain at the start of last season.

The last time Manchester United and Real Madrid tried to do a deal involving a goalkeeper, things went spectacularly wrong. Who can forget when Madrid filed the paperwork to sign David de Gea minutes after the transfer window had closed, kyboshing the Spaniard's move to Santiago Bernabeu while subsequently blocking Keylor Navas from heading to Old Trafford?

Ten years later, though, it makes perfect sense for United to approach Real Madrid regarding Andriy Lunin. The Ukraine international admirably deputised for Thibaut Courtois throughout the 2023-24 season, only to be usurped for the Champions League final when the Belgian regained fitness. He has barely got a look-in since then and would surely favour a move to United if he could be assured he was going to be first choice. 

Lunin's years of experience with Madrid mean he would be able to handle the pressure that comes with being United's No.1 and he would be reasonably affordable, given he has a mere £21m ($29m) release clause.

Borussia Dortmund goalkeeper Gregor Kobel rivals Ederson when it comes to making accurate long-range passes, although he is still best known for his ability to pull off unlikely saves, such as when he denied Eduardo Camavinga with his fingertips in the 2024 Champions League final. 

The Switzerland international is a good height at 6'5, meaning he is adept at dealing with aerial threats thanks to his big frame and punching ability. Kobel would ensure that there would be no repeat of the goals United have been conceding directly from corners, and United's interest in the 27-year-old is longstanding, with now as good a time as any for them to make a move.
