O Botafogo definiu o seu principal alvo para a posição de centroavante: trata-se de Luciano, atacante com passagens pelo Corinthians e Leganés-ESP na última temporada. Ele não deve permanecer na Europa e, com vínculo válido até o final do ano com o clube paulista, desperta o interesse do Glorioso, que busca no mercado um camisa 9 para concorrer com Roger pela posição de titular.

A diretoria alvinegra – representada pelo gerente de futebol, Antônio Lopes, se reuniu com os representantes de Luciano nos últimos dias, em busca de saber as condições para que o negócio seja concretizado. Acontece que os espanhóis têm até o final de junho para exercer a prioridade de compra de 3 milhões de euros (cerca de 10,9 milhões). Caso o Leganés indique que não vai avançar na compra do atleta de 24 anos, o campo fica aberto para o Botafogo por Luciano.

O contrato do atacante com o Corinthians termina no final do ano. Ele não está nos planos do clube paulista para a sequência da temporada, podendo ficar livre para negociar e ser o tão desejado camisa 9 do Glorioso na sequência.

Com a saída de Sassá – que está acertado com o Cruzeiro – e a escassez de um centroavante no elenco – Joel não agradou até o momento – o Botafogo busca um jogador para a posição para disputar vaga com Roger. Luciano se encaixa nas características desejadas pelo técnico Jair Ventura: apesar de centroavante, tem mobilidade para sair da área e ajudar na recomposição dentro da partida.

Nottingham Forest midfielder Joao Carvalho certainly made a positive impact on his return to the City Ground, as he netted a brace against Bradford City on Wednesday evening.

What’s the story?

Carvalho has found regular game time hard to come by with Nottingham Forest in recent seasons, having signed permanently for the Reds back in 2018.

The midfielder has made 67 appearances in total for the Championship side, and has chipped in with six goals and nine assists in his time with the club to date.

He spent last year’s campaign on loan with Spanish side Almeria, and made 36 appearances in total for them, as they finished fourth in the Segunda Division.

Carvalho marked his return to Nottingham Forest with a positive performance in their EFL Cup clash against Bradford City on Wednesday evening, as he netted both of the Reds’ goals in a 2-1 win over the League Two side at the City Ground, as they progressed to the next stage of the competition.

‘Superb’

The 24-year-old has shown glimpses of his quality with the Reds so far, but for one reason or another, he’s been frozen out of the first-team in recent seasons.

The Portuguese-born midfielder has been a fan favourite at the City Ground, and you only have to look at the reaction on social media to his brace against Bradford City to see how highly the club’s supporters rate Carvalho.

Carvalho has shown that he can perform to a high standard in the Championship, having scored four goals and been on hand to provide eight assists in 40 appearances for the Reds during the 2018/19 season.

Nottingham Forest were crying out for a player that could provide the creative spark for Chris Hughton’s side last season, as they endured a frustrating league campaign last term, as they finished 17th in the second-tier standings.

Ryan Yates shoould be sweating over their place in the starting XI moving forwards, especially if Carvalho is to remain at the City Ground beyond the summer transfer window.

He’s shown his quality in tr recent win over Bradford, and he couldn’t have timed it more perfectly to stake a serious claim for a place in their starting XI moving forwards into their Championship matches.

Speaking in an interview on EFL on Quest (quotes sourced from Nottinghamshire Live) after his performance against Middlesbrough in a 3-0 win for Forest back in 2019, Stephen Warnock issued high-praise for Carvalho, and labelled him as ‘superb’, before claiming that he was the difference in their win over Boro.

“Carvalho is a superb player. His individual quality is excellent. He has ability on the ball and a fantastic weight of pass. He was the difference against a poor Middlesbrough team, a very defensive Middlesbrough team.”

Nottingham Forest boss Chris Hughton should drop Yates and hand Carvalho a starting spot in their next match against AFC Bournemouth this weekend, as he’s certainly shown that he’s up for the fight when it comes to a first-team place in Hughton’s plans moving forward this term.

AND in other news, Nottingham Forest confirm some exciting transfer news… 

دافعت مويرا تلاجالي، زوجة ووكيل أعمال الجنوب إفريقي بيتسو موسيماني، عن مدرب النادي الأهلي ضد الانتقادات التي يتلقاها مؤخرًا من بعض النقاد والجماهير.

موسيماني منذ وصوله إلى مصر في أكتوبر 2020 ، فاز بستة ألقاب، بما في ذلك لقبي دوري أبطال إفريقيا، وعلى الرغم من هذا السجل الممتاز، فقد ظل باستمرار تحت ضغط هائل من قطاعات معينة من وسائل الإعلام المصرية وبعض أساطير ولاعبي الأهلي السابقين.

وتصاعد الضغط على موسيماني في الآونة الأخيرة، بعدما خسر الأهلي أمام الوداد البيضاوي في نهائي دوري الأبطال بالمغرب، وكانت تلك هي المباراة النهائية الثالثة على التوالي للجنوب إفريقي مع المارد الأحمر.

وقالت مويرا في تصريحات نقلتها صحيفة “تايمز لايف” الجنوب إفريقية: “أمر محبط للغاية أن يتمكن الشخص من فعل الكثير ولكن الناس ليسوا سعداء حقًا”.

وأضافت: “لا أعرف أسبابهم حقًا، لكني أعتقد أن بيتسو موسيماني أدى بشكل جيد للغاية، ومن المهم أن أوضح أنه ليس كل أنصار الأهلي هم من ينتقدونه”.

وتابعت: “لقد تلقى موسيماني استقبالًا جيدًا ودعمًا من قبل معظم جماهير ومُشجعي الأهلي الذين يقدرون مساهمته في الفريق والألقاب السبعة التي حققها في أقل من 20 شهرًا”.

وأتم تصريحاتها قائلة: “إنه لأمر مُحبط أن هناك انتقادات مستمرة ضده من الأشخاص الذين يلمحون دائمًا إلى أن المدرب على وشك الطرد بعد كل مرة يلعب فيها مباراة”.

Time is a terrible thing to waste, especially when you’re about to take on the best in the world.Since assuming the role of West Indies coach, John Dyson’s public utterances have been, if anything, much more measured and cautious than the former Australian opener’s watchful style of batsmanship. In fact, should the regional side happen to be in town in the midst of the next Carnival season, he would surely be able to hold his own at the Queen’s Park Cricket Club’s calypso competition, given his command of double entendre.He has become a past master at saying nothing and everything at one and the same time, challenging the listener to focus so much on reading between the lines that he couldn’t ever be accused of making a direct, damning statement about anything related to West Indies cricket.Maybe in his brief time here he’s already picked up on how insecure and sensitive we are to straightforward criticism, and how easily we fall instead for mamaguile.So when he comments that he and the squad have “made do with what we have been able to do” in relation to last week’s training camp in Antigua, you know, like an iceberg, there’s a lot concealed below the surface. No doubt he would be much more direct behind closed doors, or at least you would hope so if he sees this assignment as more than just another job with a fairly decent salary and lots of travel opportunities thrown in.But, then again, we didn’t need Dyson to say anything to recognise that, once more, a combination of issues related to finance, planning, administrative competence and players’ priorities has resulted in the failure to make the most of an ideal opportunity for intense preparation in a team environment, especially after finishing so strongly against Sri Lanka last month.In the five weeks since rain washed out the last one-day international in St Lucia, we have been provided with even more compelling evidence as to how irrelevant the West Indies Cricket Board is when it comes to charting a way forward for its own senior team.With no player under retainer contract, there was no legal obligation for any West Indian involved in the Indian Premier League to return to the Caribbean in time for last week’s training camp. In fact, were it not for the mandate of the International Cricket Council, the trio of Shivnarine Chanderpaul, Ramnaresh Sarwan and Dwayne Bravo (Chris Gayle’s injury prevented him from contemplating the same) could have skipped the first two Tests against Australia in pursuit of considerably more cash on the subcontinent.It was a prospect that WICB CEO Donald Peters had actually conceded as a virtual certainty a week before the ICC meeting in Dubai established that sanctioned international fixtures must take priority over private tournaments. To argue that the players should have been swayed by a sense of moral obligation to the regional side ahead of the filthy rich franchises is a waste of time, simply because such an unwritten obligation no longer exists in an environment of looking after number one.

Clearly all the kissing-up to and bigging-up of the players by regional officialdom–Peters’ claim that Marlon Samuels’ two-year ban was the consequence of some sort of entrapment reflects that kowtowing mentality-has not dented their collective resolve to seek their own interests first and foremost.In the immediate aftermath of the punishment handed down to Samuels, the WICB brought players and team management up to date with the ICC’s Anti-Corruption and Security Policy, a presentation that could very well have included sound effects of a gate being slammed shut and the clattering hooves of an increasingly distant steed.Once again, embarrassingly, a part of the world that produced a sporting unit 20 years ahead of its time is caught scrambling to make amends after yet another horse has bolted from the stable.Dyson’s veiled lament is no different from that of his compatriot, Bennett King, who was coming to the end of his first 12 months as West Indies coach during the last tour of Australia in 2005. On the eve of the first Test in Brisbane, he commented that since succeeding Gus Logie in the job after the dramatic Champions Trophy final triumph in September, 2004, he had to work through three disruptive showdowns between the WICB and the Players Association and was struggling to establish any sort of harmony or team ethos, given that he had already worked with more than 30 different players in such a short space of time.Less than three years later and with a record financial windfall supposedly in their coffers from the hosting of the 2007 World Cup, we are faced once again with the consequences of weak, reactionary leadership. At least now the bitter adversaries of 2005 appear to be on the same side, although it’s not too clear which side that is. And let’s not stoop to the level of equating frenetic vupping (at Eden Gardens or Guaracara Park) with preparation for Test cricket.Yes indeed, a Test match starts tomorrow, with the recently-arrived stand-in West Indies captain Ramnaresh Sarwan walking out for the toss at Sabina Park with Ricky Ponting, who probably understands the Jamaican dialect by now. Hopefully, Sarwan will have the good sense not to enquire of his Australian counterpart as to the weather on the island recently.

An unbeaten 41 from all-rounder Laxmi Ratan Shukla helped Bengal complete a memorable comeback win against defending Ranji Trophy champions Railways at Siliguri on Saturday. Chasing 154 for victory after dismissing Railways for 129 in their second innings on the third day, Bengal reached the target with three wickets to spare. Debang Gandhi, who made 37, and opener Deep Dasgupta with 29 were the two other batsmen who played a part in setting up the win that earned Bengal two points.Rajasthan’s 159-run first innings lead proved vital in gaining them a four-wicket win on the final day of their elite group encounter against Hyderabad at Jaipur. Hyderabad, who began the day on 226-4, were eventually dismissed for 350 in their second essay; opener Daniel Manohar the top-scorer, making 101 before being run out. For Rajasthan, off-spinner Rahul Kanwat claimed 5-37.Kanwat (41) along with opener Gagan Khoda (51) and captain PK Krishnakumar (43*), then, ensured that their team reached the victory target of 192 with four wickets and a little over four overs to spare despite a four-wicket haul from opposing skipper Venkatapathy Raju. The hosts were rewarded with two points for their efforts.A monumental effort from opener Sandeep Sharma helped Himachal Pradesh gain a nerve-wracking draw against Delhi in another elite group four-dayer at the Feroz Shah Kotla. Sharma, who began the day on 25*, went on to make 170 off 354 balls with 24 fours and two sixes, before falling to the last ball of the day, as his side ended the final day at 336-8 in their second innings. Virender Sharma (48), who shared a crucial 90-run sixth wicket partnership with Sharma, also played a role in ensuring that Delhi only got one point from the match (for earning a 262-run first innings lead).At Guwahati, Punjab went on to complete a comeback win against Assam. The hosts, who began the day chasing 286 runs, wilted against the spin of Navdeep Singh (5-59) to be dismissed for 196 in 79 overs. The margin of defeat might have been much larger if it had not been to the spirited efforts of Kiran Powar (55) and Manoj Joglekar (49). Punjab walked away with two points for the win.At Chennai, meanwhile, Tamil Nadu earned a lucky draw against Uttar Pradesh. An umpiring error, which saw the match being called off twelve minutes before the scheduled close, denied the visiting Uttar Pradesh team an opportunity to end a frustrating 34-ball last-wicket stand between Laxmipathy Balaji (3*) and MR Shrinivas (14*). The duo’s hung on grimly to ensure that Tamil Nadu, who were set a target of 298, staved off defeat by ending on 194-9. Uttar Pradesh, however, did not have to leave empty-handed; they got one point for having earned a 44-run first innings lead.Mumbai, for their part, completed an innings and 72-run win over Andhra Pradesh at the Wankhede Stadium on Saturday morning. With left-arm spinner Nilesh Kulkarni claiming four wickets, the hosts dismissed Andhra, who resumed their second essay on 133-7, for just 184 to claim three points, including a bonus point, from the match. For the visitors, Hemal Vatekar waged a lone battle, ending on 75 not out. Mumbai now have seven points from three matches as against Andhra’s tally of just one.Kerala thrash Tripura at KochiThe plate group encounter between the two sides ended 14 minutes before lunch on the fourth day. Tripura, who after being asked to follow-on were 62-3 at the end of the third day, capitulated to 139 all out in their second essay as Kerala completed an innings and 148-run win. Opener R Deb Burman, who made 58, was the only batsman to put up any resistance against spinners KN Ananthapadmanabhan (leg-spin) and Suresh Kumar (left-arm spin), both of whom ended up with three wickets each. Kerala now have won all their three group matches and are on the verge of clinching a semi-final berth.At Nagpur, hosts Vidarbha emerged winners, thrashing Goa by 203 runs. The visitors, who began the final day at 10-1, chasing 369 for victory, were dismissed for a paltry 165. Spinners Pritam Gandhe (5-33) and Madhusudhan Acharya (3-65) were the wreckers-in-chief. Vidarbha, after gaining two points for the win, now have three points from as many matches while Goa have only one.The Haryana-Maharashtra match at Rohtak was one of the few drawn matches on the day. Maharashtra, who resumed their second innings at 124-2 declared after notching 262-4; Abhijit Kale completing his second century of the match, reaching 104 not out of 211 balls.Chasing 276 for an improbable win, Haryana settled for a draw, making 121-4 before stumps were drawn. Maharashtra secured one point for having gained a slender 13-run lead on the third day.

Former Newcastle United defender Steve Howey has told Football FanCast that he would be surprised if Joe Willock chose Crystal Palace over a return to St. James’ Park.

Newcastle manager Steve Bruce has made it clear that he wants to bring Willock back to the club after a successful loan spell last season, but doing another deal with Arsenal is looking far from simple.

Mikel Arteta has claimed that the 21-year-old is currently in his plans, while Patrick Vieira and Palace, according to 90min, are interested in bringing him to Selhurst Park if he does become available this summer.

Howey, though, while not ruling anything out, would be surprised if Willock ended up picking the Eagles over the Magpies.

“Would he pick Newcastle if it was a choice between the two? You never know,” the ex-Newcastle centre-back said. “The lad is obviously based down in London, but I’d be surprised if he went to Crystal Palace.”

Willock really looked at home during that loan spell at St. James’ Park last term, scoring eight goals in 14 league games.

Ultimately, having proof that he can develop there, if the English youngster is to depart the Emirates this summer, then joining Bruce’s side again looks to be his best bet.

O São Paulo emprestou o atacante Pedro e o zagueiro Lucas Kal para o Paraná por três meses, até o fim do Estadual, mas com vínculo renovável até o fim da temporada. A dupla foi promovida ao elenco profissional em 2016, mas não tinha espaço e estava treinando separadamente.

Além de acertar o empréstimo dos dois jogadores, o São Paulo “devolveu” o volante Robson ao Paraná. O jogador estava emprestado até o fim do Paulistão e rescindiu. Ele também treinava separadamente no CT da Barra Funda.

Pedro tem 20 anos, ganhou oportunidades no ano passado e disputou dez jogos pelo São Paulo. Lucas Kal tem 21 anos, tamém subiu ao profissional em 2016, mas não entrou em campo. A ideia da diretoria são-paulina é que os jovens ganhem mais experiência.

Robson, por sua vez, tem 25 anos e tinha sido contratado por empréstimo em setembro de 2016. Ele atuou em sete partidas pelo São Paulo.

Peterborough United Director of Football Barry Fry insists Bournemouth underachieved in the Championship in the 2020/21 season.

The Cherries are reportedly closing in on the appointment of Scott Parker as their new manager, with the Fulham boss currently finalising the termination of his contract at Craven Cottage.

Bournemouth struggled to make the most of their talented squad throughout the campaign and ended up with a sixth-placed finish, sneaking into the play-offs through the back door.

They ended the campaign with 77 points, 20 points behind Norwich City, who won the title at a canter, and were ultimately beaten by Brentford in the play-off semi-finals.

Current manager Jonathan Woodgate could well be disposed of by owner Maxim Demin to make way for Parker and Fry, whose Peterborough side will take on the Cherries this season after their promotion from League One, believes that Bournemouth actually had the best squad in the league in 2020/21.

Speaking exclusively to Football FanCast, he said: “Bournemouth got rid of a lot of players last year, but they still had a hell of a squad Bournemouth. To be fair, they had arguably the best squad of players in the Championship and they underachieved, in my opinion, for whatever reason.

“They won seven on the trot, you don’t win seven on the trot if you’re not a good side, but something wasn’t right there for whatever reason. It depends what the owner at Bournemouth does again, whether he gets rid of all the people, he’ll be very disappointed that he never got up again, so whether they even keep the manager again, I don’t know.”
