There have been a couple of other interesting pieces of news coming out of European soccer recently.The first is about the future moves of French star Pogba.
According to well-known transfer journalist Romano’s news, Ligue 1 team Monaco has offered a two-year contract to 32-year-old Pogba, and the two sides are in active communication.This week, Monaco will continue to communicate with Bogba team in-depth, hoping to reach agreement on the direction of the club’s development and other issues.It is worth mentioning that Monaco is also currently pushing forward with another reinforcement at the same time – the signing of Barcelona striker Fathi.For Pogba, his last official appearance was in September 2023, after which he was dismissed early by Juventus due to drug test issues.If he ends up signing for Monaco, it will be a fresh start for him after his comeback.
In addition to Monaco’s moves, La Liga giants Barcelona are also actively pushing for a sideways attraction.Spanish international Nico Williams is emerging as one of Barcelona’s targets.The 22-year-old, who currently plays for Athletic Bilbao, shone last season with 11 goals and 7 assists in 45 games.Williams is said to be willing to accept a pay cut to join Barcelona, with his annual salary remaining at roughly €12 million.However, Barcelona are not the only suitors, as Bundesliga giants Bayern are also interested in him, while Athletic Bilbao have also begun talks with him about a contract extension.Williams, whose current contract expires in the summer of 2027, has a market value of around €70 million.
Meanwhile, on the NBA front, the New York Knicks are still undecided on their head coach.They had previously tried to invite several current head coaches to join them, including Finch of the Timberwolves, Udoka of the Rockets, and Kidd of the Maverick, but they were all rejected.As a result, the Knicks have had to adjust their strategy to target some former head coaches or current assistant coaches.According to reporter Charania, like Mike Brown, Jenkins, Mike Malone and other former coaches are among the consideration.This coaching selection process is more open than ever, and Knicks executives have already begun interviewing some candidates this week.
Overall, these news items show the intense pace of the major clubs in terms of transfers and personnel arrangements.Whether it’s a player transfer or a coaching change, there are complex negotiations and tradeoffs behind the scenes.Fans can continue to follow these developments to see who ultimately accomplishes their goals as desired.
