Manchester United prepare to replace De Gea with Oblak
David de Gea’s future at Manchester United seems to be under doubt, following a series of underwhelming displays from the Spaniard. The 28-year-old was named in the PFA Team of the Year for 4 consecutive seasons before being replaced by Manchester City goalkeeper Ederson Moraes in the most recent edition of the award.
De Gea has struggled to emulate his impressive display from previous seasons since his poor display against Portugal at the 2018 World Cup. Now Manchester United are reportedly willing to replace him with Atletico Madrid shot-stopper Jan Oblak, who is also on the radar of Juventus.
Oblak is known as one of the best in the world at his position and has been the key for Atletico becoming one of the best defensive teams in Europe. The report states that the Red Devils are even set to break the world record fee for a goalkeeper by paying Oblak’s €120 million release clause.
Juventus and Paris Saint-Germain have been touted as the most likely destinations for De Gea if Manchester United are willing to part way with the star.
Mourinho eager to bring Barcelona star back to Inter
Numerous rumors have been circling around Inter Milan manager Luciano Spalletti for a while now. The Italian coach successfully guided Inter to secure a top four finish last season but Inter have flattered to deceive in the current campaign.
Inter did not get past the Champions League group stage, despite the club having the same number of points as Tottenham Hotspur. The Italian outfit also failed to progress in the Europa League after their disappointing result against Eintracht Frankfurt.
Now Jose Mourinho is reportedly the favorites to be the next Inter manager if Spalletti leaves. The Portuguese tactician has been without a managerial job since Manchester United sacked him last December.
The report even states that the former Real Madrid manager is keen to take Philippe Coutinho to the San Siro with him. The Brazilian star played for Inter for about 3 seasons before joining Liverpool in 2013. Coutinho has not been a regular at Barcelona this season.
Former AC Milan star speaks about the club’s current situation
AC Milan are now set to miss their Champions League spot, following their recent disappointing results. However, Gennaro Gattuso still remains in charge for the Italian giants, despite numerous reports mentioning his possible departure from the club.
Former AC Milan defender Alessandro Costacurta also shared his thoughts over the current situation at the club.
AC Milan are currently sixth in the Serie A table with 56 points from 34 outings, three points adrift of fourth-placed Atalanta with four games remaining in the season.
