ويدخل كوناتي العام الأخير في عقده مع ليفربول، وهناك تأخر من قبل النادي في بدء محادثات تجديد عقد اللاعب.
وأفادت التقارير بأن مانشستر سيتي يراقب عن كثب أزمة عقد كوناتي في ليفربول ترقبًا للتفاوض معه.
ومع ذلك، تشير “سيتي إكسترا” إلى أنه من غير المرجح أن يتعاقد مانشستر سيتي مع كوناتي، كونه يمتلك لاعبين كافيين في مركزه.
وتعاقد مانشستر سيتي في انتقالات يناير مع عبد القادر خوسانوف وفيتور ريس لتعزيز الدفاع، بالإضافة لوجود روبن دياز وجفارديول.

Aston Villa chiefs are real admirers of a versatile striker from abroad, with a foreign correspondent suggesting he could even replace Jhon Duran, who’s attracting interest from Ligue 1 champions PSG and other elite sides.
PSG eyeing January move for Aston Villa star Jhon Duran
According to credible media sources, Luis Enrique’s side have cast their eyes on Birmingham in pursuit of talent this winter, and are believed to be considering a January move for Duran.
Talks opened: Aston Villa pursuing "top talent" who could be Duran 2.0
Aston Villa are looking to add to their attacking options
ByJoe Nuttall Jan 10, 2025
The Colombian’s fine form since the summer has resulted in Unai Emery’s side awarding him a brand-new £75,000-per-week contract earlier this campaign, with Duran netting 12 goals in all competitions, including in pretty big games against the likes of Bayern Munich and Manchester City.
The 21-year-old was allegedly very close to departing Villa Park in the last transfer window, but he’s since established himself as a star player for Emery as big clubs sit up and take notice of his Premier League exploits.

According to some reports, Chelsea are among the sides who’ve enquired over Duran’s availability this month, though it appears PSG are the most interested.
GiveMeSport reporter Ben Jacobs has backed reports of PSG’s fondness for the South American starlet, but Monchi and NSWE value Duran at £25m more than what the French heavyweights are prepared to pay in January.
As a result, there is still some ground to cover in terms of valuation before a potential transfer, but other reliable media outlets claim that PSG are prepared to offer players in a bid to sweeten a potential deal (Daily Mail).
Aston Villa really like Marco Asensio who could replace Jhon Duran
According to RMC Sport’s Fabrice Hawkins, fringe PSG forward Marco Asensio has fans in B6.
The journalist even suggests that Asensio could join Aston Villa in place of Duran, with PSG potentially able to use the former as a makeweight to lower the cost of the latter in a mooted part-exchange.
Villa “leaders” are said to really like the former Real Madrid striker as a “versatile” option in the centre-forward position as the threat of losing Duran looms. Asensio, on a rumoured €280,000 (£235,000) per week at the Parc des Princes, has been relegated to the bench by Enrique in recent weeks – so much so, that his exit is a real possibility before deadline day on 3rd February.
While the 28-year-old is traditionally a right-winger, he’s been used more often than not as a No 9 in France, and Asensio’s previous career at Real saw the Spaniard win a plethora of major honours, including three Champions League titles.
Visitors plod their way to total control in relegation battle with Warwickshire
ECB Reporters Network14-Sep-2022Somerset’s greatest display of aggression came before the start of the third day at Edgbaston when they issued a media release stating that the ECB’s current cricket schedule was “unacceptable” and that the south west needed “the highest standard” of men’s and women’s cricket to be able to sustain the game in the region.”The current domestic playing programme, which resulted in only four one-day matches being played in Taunton over 43 days in the height of summer this year, with 17 Somerset players unavailable, is unacceptable to the club, its members and the South West’s cricketing public,” Somerset said as the debate continued over the future structure of the English game.Their point made, on the field they plodded their way into total control against Warwickshire on the third day of their LV=Insurance County Championship Division One relegation battle at Edgbaston. They closed the third day on 277 for 4 – 300 ahead – to virtually insure themselves against defeat heading into the last day of this crucial game.On a pitch which remained slow but lost its menace, Somerset, led by captain Tom Abell’s obdurate 87 from 173 balls, batted through the day for 264 runs in 101 overs. Supported by Tom Lammonby (40 in 170 minutes) and George Bartlett (91 not out, 209 balls), the skipper lifted his team into a position whereby they have it in their power to simply bat Warwickshire out of the game.It was another tough day for the home side, who took just two wickets in three sessions. They must now lift themselves to bat well enough on the final day to avoid a defeat which would severely damage their prospects of survival.After resuming on 13 for 2, Somerset settled straight into the slow lane, Lammonby and Abell adding 55 runs in 36 overs in the morning session. At one stage, one run arrived in seven overs while Lammonby went 11 overs without scoring.It was gritty stuff, not easy on the eye but a totally understandable approach in the match situation. Warwickshire’s hopes of an early clatter induced by India internationals Mohammed Siraj or Jayant Yadav were thwarted as the pitch blunted the pace of the former and offered only very slow turn to the latter.The second-wicket pair added 79 in 41 overs before Lammonby edged Olly Hannon-Dalby to Rob Yates at slip. Bartlett seamlessly took up the cudgels of caution and settled in alongside his captain while Warwickshire skipper Will Rhodes shuffled a bowling attack that plugged away nobly to ensure that runs at least never came quickly. The fourth-wicket stand was worth 72 in 25 overs when Abell’s 246-minute vigil ended when Danny Briggs turned a beauty onto his off stump.Again, home hopes of one wicket bringing two were in vain as Lewis Goldsworthy added his application to the collective diligence. Bartlett and Goldsworthy put up a century stand in 202 balls and were still there together to resume in the morning having so far added 121.
تحدث لاعب خط وسط مانشستر سيتي، برناردو سيلفا، بعد هزيمة فريقه أمام كريستال بالاس في نهائي كأس الاتحاد الإنجليزي.
وتعرض مانشستر سيتي للهزيمة بهدف دون مقابل أمام كريستال بالاس، وشهدت المباراة إهدار عمر مرموش لركلة جزاء.
وكان من المقرر أن يسدد هالاند ضربة الجزاء، لكن في نهاية الأمر توجه مرموش لتسديدها، وعلّق برناردو على ذلك.
وقال برناردو في تصريحات نشرتها شبكة “بي بي سي” البريطانية: “كانت خيبة أمل كبيرة بالنسبة لنا”.
وأضاف: “واجهنا فريقًا صعبًا، وكنا نعلم ذلك قبل المباراة، إنهم يدافعون بكتلة دفاعية منخفضة للغاية، ويتحلون بالكثير من الصبر في طريقة دفاعهم من أجل التحضير للهجمات المرتدة”.
وأردف: “افتقرنا إلى شيء من الجودة الإضافية في الثلث الهجومي الأخير لإنهاء الهجمات، حصلنا على ركلة جزاء، وثلاث أو أربع فرص، لكن كريستال بالاس استحق الفوز اليوم، أقول لهم أحسنتم”.

وعن اللقطة المثيرة للجدل المتعلقة بالحارس دين هندرسون وما إذا كان يستحق الطرد، أفاد: “بصراحة، لم أشاهدها، سمعت أنه لمس الكرة بيده، لكنني بحاجة إلى مشاهدة اللقطة حتى أتمكن من إبداء رأيي”.
وبشأن عدم تنفيذ إيرلينج هالاند لركلة الجزاء، والتي لعبها عمر مرموش وأهدرها، علّق سيلفا: “لا أعلم، في العادة، يكون هالاند هو المنفذ، لكنهم قرروا أن يسددها عمر مرموش، لم أكن ضمن من اتخذوا القرار، لذا لست متأكدًا”.
وواصل: “إهدار ركلات الجزاء قد يحدث، لم تكن المشكلة الأساسية، بالطبع كانت لحظة مهمة، لكننا كانت لدينا فرص أخرى أيضًا”.
وفي ختام حديثه، تحدث سيلفا بحزن عن زميله كيفن دي بروين، الذي خاض آخر نهائي كبير له مع مانشستر سيتي: “كان من المحزن أننا لم نتمكن من الفوز من أجله، كنا نريد منحه هذا اللقب، لأنه يستحقه، لذا كان الأمر محبطًا بعض الشيء، لا يمكنني تخيّل تحقيق كل هذا النجاح من دونه”.
وأتم: “إنه صديق مقرب لي، وأنا حزين لرؤيته يرحل، كنت آمل وأتمنى لو أنه بقي لفترة أطول، لكن هذه هي الحياة، أتمنى له كل التوفيق”.
Sheffield United supporters would been relieved to see Leeds United only pick up a drab point away at Burnley on Monday night after the Blades fell to a surprise 3-0 defeat to Hull City.
As a result of the Whites playing out an unmemorable 0-0 draw at Turf Moor, Chris Wilder’s men are only two points off the Championship summit, with a big win away at Derby County needed next for the South Yorkshire outfit to get their promotion efforts back on track.
Nobody can accuse United of being quiet in the transfer window either in their bid to return to the Premier League, with another potential deal on the cards taking the total of incomings up to a sizeable four.
Sheffield United interested in deal for EFL star
As per an exclusive report from the Sheffield Star, the promotion chasers are keen on adding Harry Darling to their ever-growing group before next month’s abrupt deadline as Wilder goes about strengthening his defensive numbers.
Darling has generated quite a lot of interest this transfer window to date owing to his Swansea City contract expiring this summer, with Bristol City and Birmingham City previously looking at the 6 foot 2 centre-back before the Blades started sniffing around.
With Harry Souttar out of action for the rest of the season due to a ruptured Achilles tendon, Darling would very much gift Wilder another rock in the heart of defence away from the injury-stricken loanee.
Moreover, United have tasted success when buying from the Swans in the past, with Oli McBurnie turning into a fan’s favourite at Bramall Lane after waving goodbye to Wales.
What Darling could offer Sheffield United
Before delving deeper into Darling’s strengths as a centre-back, the 25-year-old can only hope to be as popular as McBurnie was in South Yorkshire if he does make the switch shortly.
In particular, his efforts during the 2022/23 campaign still stick out to this day, as his crucial 13 strikes from 38 league games helped the Blades push up to the Premier League.
Darling possesses a similar goalscoring knack even when lining up as a defender for Luke Williams’ men, with the Swansea number six helping himself to nine goals in the Championship across his impressive career to date.
In the past, Wilder has loved working with defenders who can fight and battle but also have the ability to fire home a killer goal, with Darling perhaps becoming his next Jack O’Connell or Harry Egan in that sense, alongside also being an arguable upgrade on the unfortunate Souttar.

Looking at the table above, Darling does better his injured counterpart in many different areas this season in the Championship, with more accurate passes managed per contest as a competent performer out from the back, alongside other numbers going in his favour.
Indeed, the “heroic” ace – as he was labelled by Williams earlier this campaign – averages more ball recoveries as a tenacious presence, whilst his numbers in terms of clearances registered and duels being won fall flat just when weighed up next to the 6 foot 7 man mountain.
Wilder will pray that Darling’s signature can be won, therefore, as he looks like the best possible replacement for Souttar in the short-term, with the added impressive qualities of being able to join in with attacks and spray the ball about with more ease.
United fans will be blown away by how much business has been done so far this window, with plenty more expected before this coming Monday’s dramatic deadline.

Enquanto busca reforços para o elenco, o Palmeiras ainda tem uma pendência importante para definir: a renovação de contrato de Gustavo Scarpa. O assunto foi pauta na entrevista coletiva após a vitória sobre o Emelec, na última quarta-feira, quando Abel Ferreira foi questionado. A resposta não foi esclarecedora, mas deixou pistas.

Admirador do futebol do meia, que tem sido importante desde a chegada do treinador, tanto com entrega em campo, quanto com gols e assistências, Abel sabe que a permanência não depende apenas de seu desejo, mas também de outros fatores, como o desejo do jogador, que já declarou ao GE que é jogar na Europa. O português, porém, deixa as portas abertas para o jogador.
-O Gustavo Scarpa teve uma conversa com o clube, foi muito claro. As portas do meu gabinete e do clube estão abertas. Acho que pode ter tudo um bom fim, mas é preciso quatro partes quererem: clube, jogador, empresário do jogador e família do jogador. Se isso acontecer… – afirmou o comandante palmeirense.
Scarpa tem contrato com o Verdão até dezembro deste ano e as partes já vêm conversando há algum tempo sobre a prorrogação do vínculo. O respeito e admiração entre clube e atleta fazem com que não haja pressão nem pressa em cima do negócio. Ambos os lados sabem do desejo de cada um e Abel Ferreira faz coro pelo “fico”.
-Não vou falar de dentro de campo, porque quero bons jogadores, jogadores que decidam, que façam a diferença. Logicamente, não posso ficar indiferente ao que ele está a fazer, ele realmente tem estado muito bem – disse o treinador do Alviverde.
No ano de 2021, Scarpa foi o jogador que mais participou de gols do Palmeiras com 33 participações (9 gols e 24 assistências), à frente de Raphael Veiga, com 28 participações (21 gols e 7 assistências). Em 2022, o camisa 14 participou de seis tentos (2 gols e 4 assistências). Veiga, no entanto, disparou com 25 (18 gols e 7 assistências).
