Manchester City are interested in signing Arda Guler from Real Madrid, according to Fichajes. The report has claimed that Man City manager Pep Guardiola is personally keen on a deal for Guler, who has emerged as one of the best players for Madrid this season. Guler has been one of Madrid's best and most important players under manager Xabi Alonso this season.
Long before he arrived at Man City, Guardiola famously came through the ranks at Camp Nou, winning the Champions League as both a player and manager with the Blaugrana in 15 years over two spells at the club. The 54-year-old has seldom looked to Barcelona for new signings but that might be about to change with the blockbuster addition of Alejandro Balde in January.
I'm very happy to have an opponent of this calibre. Barça has always been and continues to be a huge club. I think we have to be very prepared to compete against a rival like this. But if we impose our game and our will, it can be a great match, and we have a chance to come away with the victory.
In what could be the future of football gaming, Manchester City have joined forces with EA Sports FC 26 to launch a new fourth kit that comes embedded with a special interactive chip that will allow fans to literally tap into a whole raft of digital unlockables. The dark forest green jersey is covered in triangular graphics in light green and turquoise, and a closer look at the metallic club crest reveals the design's hidden hi-tech secret.
Much has been said about Liverpool's performances this season, but Cornelia Kapocs really seems to have grown into her role at Anfield. Liverpool have scored few goals this season, under the bright lights of Anfield, it would have been easy to seize up, but Kapocs stepped up. She headed home from a lovely, teasing cross by Ceri Holland and showed why she is such a nascent youngster in this Liverpool team.
"Last season was tough for me, to the point where I thought about stopping. I didn't want to do it. I had had enough of being so professional and trying to do everything right in my power, to then keep breaking down and not having the answers. It was a very difficult place to be in."
How strong he is admitting it, Guardiola said, via the Telegraph. A figure like Phil can be open-minded and speak to all of society, today the young teenagers and even older people struggle with that, nobody is away from that, everyone can be that.

That's why when I see him now, and forget about the level he is performing which is a top level - how he's been, the joy in the training session, his laugh and his voice in the locker room, it's enough.
The 18-year-old striker joined Manchester City from PSG, and he is highly rated in the game. The African is expected to develop into a future star, and Liverpool will be disappointed to have missed out on him. Clubs like Real Madrid and Barcelona were keeping tabs on his situation as well. However, Manchester City managed to win the race for him.
Pavlovic is highly rated at the German club, and it will not be easy to sign him. The German champions could demand a premium for him. Manchester United could certainly use someone with his skill set. They need more physicality and defensive cover in the middle of the park, and the 21-year-old would be a long-term acquisition. It remains to be seen whether they can finish the season strongly and convince the young midfielder to join the club.
The talented 19-year-old is seemingly facing an uncertain future under PSG manager Luis Enrique, having had less of a key role in the team in recent times. PSG's success in the Champions League last season came with Vitinha, Joao Neves and Fabian Ruiz as Enrique's first-choice midfield three. Still, Zaire-Emery has long been considered a top talent, so he surely won't be happy with not being first choice for his club.
