Raheem Sterling: A stellar career turned wrong as Chelsea plan to axe former Liverpool youngster and Manchester City star

Chelsea are reportedly preparing to sell Raheem Sterling as they seek to comply with the Premier League’s profit and sustainability rules (PSR). The London club faces the necessity to offload several key players in the summer to balance their financial books following a period of significant spending under Todd Boehly s ownership.

Sterling, who has endured a dip in form, is expected to be among the first departures, with multiple sources indicating so. His recent performance in the FA Cup match against Leicester City, where he missed crucial chances, including a penalty, a one-on-one opportunity, and a short-range free-kick, has further fueled speculation about his future at Chelsea. The winger faced criticism from some Chelsea fans during the match, and he was eventually sub…

Ronaldo: Euro 2016 surprises end now for Portugal

The Euro 2016 surprises end now for Portugal. At least, that is what Cristiano Ronaldo believes.

The Real Madrid star endured a mixed group stage as his nation finished third behind Hungary and Iceland.

As the nation faced elimination in their final Group F encounter, Ronaldo ultimately made the difference for Portugal with his two goals and assist during a topsy-turvy 3-3 draw with Hungary, enough to see them through as one of the best third-placed teams.

But that is where the surprises will end, according to Ronaldo.

I don t think there are many surprises in European football. Maybe in the group stage you can have a surprise but the big countries always arrive in the final, he told the Times of India.

While their road to the round of 16 was n…

Low succeeding Heynckes at Bayern in 2019 is Matthaus´ ´dream´

Former Bayern Munich star Lothar Matthaus is hopeful of Jupp Heynckes continuing as the club s manager beyond the current campaign before being replaced by Germany coach Joachim Low in 2019.

Heynckes returned to Bayern for his third spell in charge of the club in September, replacing Carlo Ancelotti after previously retiring in 2013.

Bayern s improvement since Heynckes return has been remarkable, with the club 18 points clear of second-placed RB Leipzig heading into Saturday s trip to Wolfsburg.

Heynckes was installed until the end of the season, but reports continue to suggest the club s hierarchy will try to convince him to stay for a further year, after making such an impact.

And Matthaus believes the dream scenario would see Heynckes stay until the en…

Evergreen Klose aims to play at 2014 World Cup

On the eve of Germany s opening Euro 2012 qualifier, Germany striker Miroslav Klose said Thursday he wants to play on until the next World Cup in Brazil in 2014.

The 32-year-old has already won 101 caps for his country and with 14 World Cup goals to his credit, is just one short of the record of 15 set by Brazil s Ronaldo.

I think I can still play for a few more years at a high level, said the Bayern Munich striker with Germany set to face Belgium in Brussels on Friday in their first Euro 2012 qualifier in Group A.

I m only 32, so age is not a problem.

If I am still fit in four years and my performances are good enough, why shouldn t I not play then?

Klose is third amongst Germany s all-time goal-scorers with 52 and is just behind Joachim Str…

World Cup 2018: Samara signs off with Neymar´s acting, terrible predictions and a goalscoring Harry

After three weeks and six matches, Samara s World Cup story came to an end on Saturday.

The final act proved to be England s comfortable 2-0 quarter-final win over Sweden, which set up a trip to Moscow and a last-four meeting with Croatia.

That triumph proved a fine way for Omnisport to sign off from its stay in the city, at the end of a third and final week which featured Neymar, a (not so, as it turns out) psychic goat, and Harry Maguire s head.

Enjoy our recap of the last seven days in Samara, with our Twitter moment below:

Euro 2020 final: England must take Wembley opportunity – Kane

Harry Kane knows England must make home advantage count as the Three Lions aim to win a major tournament for only the second time.

England beat Denmark on Wednesday courtesy of Kane s extra-time goal to progress to their maiden European Championship final, and their first in any competition since 1966.

Kane s goal also saw him equal Gary Lineker as England s leading scorer in major tournaments, with 10.

Italy, playing in their 10th major tournament final (six at the World Cup, four at the Euros), stand in the way of Gareth Southgate s team, however.

The Three Lions will have the crowd firmly on side at Wembley on Sunday, though, and Kane – who stated winning with England would rank above winning a trophy at club level – is out to make history.
