João Cancelo asks to leave Manchester City with game time limited

João Cancelo reportedly wants to leave Manchester City this summer as he does not consider himself a ‘bench man’.

Cancelo joined City from Juventus last August but in his first season has struggled to usurp Kyle Walker as first-choice right-back, as per football data provider iSports API.

The Portugal international has played 90 minutes just eight times in the Premier League and has been heavily rumoured to be of interest to Barcelona, according to iSports football livedata.

And according to Mundo Deportivo, Cancelo doesn’t see his long-term future at the Etihad Stadium and will ask to be sold during the next transfer window.

Manchester City will return to Premier League action on June 17 with a home game against Arsenal.

Arsenal offering Aubameyang an contract extension

Arsenal are offering Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang a contract extension, according to multiple reports, but with no final decision just yet.

Football data privider iSports API claim Arsenal are offering a contract extension to Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang.

（iSports football data API covers a wide range of games and leagues with livescore, standings, events, line-ups, pre-match odds, statistics）

Meanwhile, Fabrizio Romano claims Arsenal offered the player a new deal as long ago as December. So far, they haven’t had any luck in convincing him, but it’s still an open decision whether to leave or extend his contract.

Realistically, this news doesn’t really give us much of a hint as to what will happen.

Many suppose it’s a positive sign that Arsenal are even trying to extend the deal， including iSports football livescore API. At least they haven’t resigned themselves to losing him or received the message that all negotiations are off. They’re confident enough to make the offer in the first place.

At the same time, it’s over five months since December ended and Arsenal haven’t convinced Aubameyang yet. Part of that will be due to the break for the pandemic, as the striker is probably waiting to see what happens this season. But it’s still a little worrying.

This is all going to be a lot easier if Arsenal somehow make a run into the top four in the next two months.

Jerami Grant ‘definitely not’ leaning to pick up $9 million option with Denver

Jerami Grant exceeded his contract’s worth in the 2019-20 season，as per basketball data provider iSports API. As such, the forward has no plans of picking up his $9 million option with the Denver Nuggets come free agency.

（iSports basketball data API covers a wide range of games and leagues with livescore, standings, events, line-ups, pre-match odds, statistics）

During an appearance on podcast , Grant pretty much confirmed that he will be testing the free agency waters.

“I’m definitely not leaning towards picking up the player option. Like you said, I feel like I definitely outplayed the $9 million that I’m making each year right now. But at the same time… I’d love to come to a conclusion or something like that with Denver, it just depends what we discuss and negotiate when the time comes,” the Nuggets forward said.

Jerami Grant inked a three-year, $27.3 million contract with the Oklahoma City Thunder in 2018, according to iSports NBA livedata API. It was a decent deal for Grant who was a key part of the Thunder’s playoff campaigns. Moreover, since signing the deal, Grant has improved nearly every facet of his game.

The last two seasons easily show that Grant has grown over time, averaging 12.7 points, 4.5 rebounds and 1.1 block in two separate stints with the Thunder and Nuggets. According to iSports basketball API, he also shot 48.7 percent from the field and 39.6 percent from 3-point range. In his first four seasons with the Philadelphia 76ers and OKC, Grant averaged just 7.5 points, 3.6 rebounds and 1.2 block.

Perhaps his biggest improvement is his better stroke from deep. In the 2019-20 season, Grant is shooting career-high 40.0 percent from the 3-point line. This will certainly make Grant a big target for teams gunning for the title. Hopefully, the Nuggets will realize Grant’s worth.

Many Premier League sides are battling over Mohammed Salisu

Real Valladolid defender Mohammed Salisu has captured the attention of many clubs in the world with his scintillating LaLiga performances this season.

Of course, in addition to being a top centre-back at the young age of 21, the player has a meagre £10m release clause, as per iSports football API, meaning it’s basically certain the player will be leaving this summer.

（iSports football live data covers a wide range of games and leagues with livescore, standings, events, line-ups, pre-match odds, statistics）

According to Football data provider iSports API, Wolves and Southampton are currently showing the most interest in the Ghanaian, with Watford also reportedly keen on the starlet.

Salisu’s rise to prominence has been rapid, to say the least, as he’s only been playing professional first-team football for just over a year.

Salisu, who can also play as a defensive midfielder, has made a total of 30 career first-team appearances to date.

Hawks’ Trae Young has on the nose reaction to Jayson Tatum max contract rumor

Earlier reports state that the Boston Celtics will be offering Jayson Tatum a max deal in order to retain the services of the 22-year-old for the long haul. For his part, Atlanta Hawks stud Trae Young seems to be in complete agreement of this notion.

Young took to Twitter to send out his support for the C’s All-Star forward.

Young has no doubt in his mind that Boston should offer Tatum the max deal, and honestly, we could not agree more. This should be a no-brainer for the Celtics, and here is why we believe this to be true.

（iSports basketball data API covers a wide range of games and leagues with livescore, standings, events, line-ups, pre-match odds, statistics）

Accoding to basketball data provider, Tatum is currently still on his rookie-scale deal, which he signed back in 2017. Last October, the Celtics exercised their team option on the final year of Tatum’s deal, which will see him with the club for at least until the end of next season. Obviously, Boston has no intention of letting their prized youngster walk away anytime soon, and they will need to dig deep into their pockets to ensure the same.

As for Atlanta’s Trae Young, he too should be in for a pretty hefty extension in the not so distant future. The sophomore entered the league in 2018, and his current rookie deal runs out by the end of the 2021-22 campaign, as per iSports NBA API. This means that the Hawks are expected to offer the All-Star point guard a new deal as early as next summer. Being that he is widely considered as the the team’s cornerstone superstar of the future, it would not be surprising if Young will likewise be putting pen to paper on a max deal.

Leicester City set to extend Wes Morgan's contract

Leicester City fans rejoice! Captain Morgan appears to be sticking around for at least another year.

According to a report from The Athletic, Brendan Rodgers sees Wes Morgan as an essential member of the squad and is set to hand the 36-year-old an extension.

The Foxes captain, who has been at Leicester since 2012, has only featured for a total of 602 minutes this season (159 minutes in the Premier League) according to iSports football live data, but still has a role to play as a reserve centre-back and a leader in the dressing room.

（iSports football  live data covers a wide range of games and leagues with livescore, standings, events, line-ups, pre-match odds, statistics）


Morgan is one of five Leicester City players who are out of contract on 30 June. Eldin Jakupović, Andy King, Christian Fuchs, and Nampalys Mendy could also see their time come to an end, according to iSports football data.

However, it’s been reported that Rodgers also wants to hold onto Fuchs, who was also a part of Leicester City’s Premier League-winning campaign.

The 30-time Jamaica international has been named to the PFA Team of the Year on four occasions – three times in the Championship and once during their historic 2015-16 season.

Luka Doncic’s injured hand fully healed thanks to long hiatus

Perhaps the good thing about the long hiatus brought about by the coronavirus pandemic is that Luka Doncic’s injured hand has fully healed according to Dallas Mavericks owner Mark Cuban.

Perhaps the good thing about the long hiatus brought about by the coronavirus pandemic is that Luka Doncic’s injured hand has fully healed according to Dallas Mavericks owner Mark Cuban.

（iSports basketball data API covers a wide range of games and leagues with livescore, standings, events, line-ups, pre-match odds, statistics）

To recall, Luka Doncic injured his left thumb in the Mavs’ 109-103 victory against the San Antonio Spurs in late February, as per iSports basketball data provider. He left in the first quarter of the game to have it taped up then came back right away. The Slovenian revealed that his thumb got slapped twice but the referees thought that the defenders hit all ball.

Though he finished their game against the Spurs, the injury bothered Doncic in the next games. After their 126-118 loss to the Miami Heat, Doncic admitted how difficult it was to play with an injured thumb, according to iSports basketball API.

The Mavs wisely let Doncic sit out several games for the thumb to heal. But fast forward to March 11, the NBA had to suspend the 2019-20 season due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The Mavs were one of the last teams to play.

For the past few weeks, the NBA has been in constant discussion on the possible resumption of the season. Disney World in Orlando is the highly-favored bubble location which will hold closed-door games as well as house players and their family.

Jason Terry leaves Mavs G-League team for Arizona Wildcats

19-year NBA veteran and former Wildcat Jason Terry has accepted assistant coaching job at Arizona. Terry departs Mavs, where he's been assistant GM of Texas Legends. Announcement expected Thursday.

One-time NBA champ and former Sixth Man of the Year winner Jason Terry is taking the next step in his post-playing career. NBA insider Shams Charania reports that Terry has accepted a role as an assistant coach in his alma matter of Arizona.

According to iSports NBA API, Jason Terry is parting ways with the Dallas Mavericks — the team he played for eight seasons during his time in the league — after being the assistant general manager of the Mavs’ G League affiliate, the Texas Legends, since September of 2019. 

（iSports basketball data API covers a wide range of games and leagues with livescore, standings, events, line-ups, pre-match odds, statistics）

It was a short-lived stint for Terry as a league executive, and it appears that at this point, he considers coaching to be a better fit for him as opposed to taking the front office route.

As per basketball data provider iSports API, Terry spent four years with Arizona as a player between 1995 and 1999. In his sophomore year, he helped the Wildcats to a historic NCAA title. In his final playing year for the squad, the 6-foot-2 guard averaged 21.9 points, 3.3 rebounds, 5.5 assists, and 2.8 steals, while also knocking down 2.6 triples per game on a 39.8-percent clip. This earned him the Pac-10 Player of the Year award for that season, as well as an inclusion to the All-Pac-12 squad.

He is now making a triumphant return to his old stomping ground. Terry seems to be determined to pursue a career in coaching, and is willing to earn his stripes, so to speak, as he accepts a role as an assistant under tenured head coach Sean Miller, who has been at the helm since 2009.

Man City ‘target’ Bundesliga winger as replacement for Leroy Sané

Manchester City have identified Bayer Leverkusen winger Leon Bailey as a ‘target’ to replace Leroy Sané, report the Daily Mail.

Any move for Bailey would be contingent upon Sané completing his transfer to Bayern Munich this summer. 

According to iSports football API, after staring his professional career in Belgium with Genk, Bailey has 24 goals in 107 appearances for Leverkusen since signing for the Bundesliga side in January 2017.

（iSports football data API covers a wide range of games and leagues with livescore, standings, events, line-ups, pre-match odds, statistics）

Bailey has been identified by City, because he is left-footed but also capable of operating on the right wing. The Jamaica international has been scouted by City for several years now, and Sané’s exit would ‘cement’ City’s interest.

As per football data provider iSports API, the price tag presently placed on Bailey’s head is said to be £40m, which is a relatively modest amount for a 22-year-old who has established himself as one of Europe’s most exciting young forwards. 

Fellow Premier League side Arsenal are alleged to be targeting the Leverkusen player too, but they will be unable to match City’s financial power.

Real Madrid told to pay €75m for Rennes starlet Eduardo Camavinga

Real Madrid have developed quite the reputation for spending huge money on some of the best youngsters in all of world football.

Now, according to Spainish media, they’ll have to pull off the trick once again if they want to land Rennes’ 17-year-old sensation Eduardo Camavinga.

At his young age, Camavinga is already one of the best number sixes in Ligue 1, putting in several man-of-the-match performances.

As per iSports football API, Camavinga has been mature well beyond his years in his 43 first-team appearances and, as a result, Rennes are currently asking Los Blancos to cough up an eye-watering €75m for his services.

（iSports football data API covers a wide range of games and leagues with livescore, standings, events, line-ups, pre-match odds, statistics）

Despite multiple reports of Casemiro renewing his contract until 2023, Camavinga has reportedly been hand-picked by Zinedine Zidane to be the Brazilian’s eventual replacement, according to football data provider iSports API.

Due to the coronavirus pandemic, it’s unlikely that Real Madrid will be focused on anything more than selling off some of their unnecessary assets like James Rodríguez and Gareth Bale.

However, if Camavinga becomes more affordable or if Kylian Mbappé becomes a realistic transfer target, Real Madrid may end up opening their wallet.

Rennes will have to act quickly to either sell the France U-21 international or extend his contract as Camavinga’s current deal is up in summer 2022.

Giannis Antetokounmpo speaks out on ‘Greek Freak’ moniker

Milwaukee Bucks forward Giannis Antetokounmpo is unlike most NBA superstars before him.

The reigning MVP possesses incredible size, length, athleticism and skill — a blend which has helped him lead the Bucks to new heights in the last two seasons，according to iSports NBA API. This blend also birthed a new nickname, one that paired his nationality with his unique physical attributes: the “Greek Freak.”

（iSports basketball data API covers a wide range of games and leagues with livescore, standings, events, line-ups, pre-match odds, statistics）

Even though the nickname sort of speaks for itself, its origin is unknown. Not even Antetokounmpo knows who first came up with the nickname, though he said he loves the moniker.

“First of all, the nickname is really good. I like it,” the Bucks superstar said during an appearance on Capture Sports Marketing’s Athletes Doing Good Radiothon last Thursday.

“I don’t remember the first time I heard about it — it was probably my rookie year — but I really don’t know who came up with it,” he said. “I just went on the court one day and I had like a crazy dunk or a crazy block and after that everyone started calling me the Greek Freak. So it stuck by me, I love it and it’s a cool nickname.”

“Freak” might not have the most positive connotation, but it is fitting for Giannis Antetokounmpo.

Antetokounmpo routinely makes highlight-reel plays on the hardwood, using his long strides and enormous reach to get to the rim and score from just about anywhere.

According to iSports basketball API, the 25-year-old was likely on his way to a second consecutive MVP in 2019-20 prior to the suspension of play due to the coronavirus crisis.

On the season, Giannis was averaging 29.6 points, 13.7 rebounds and 5.8 assists for the Bucks while also showing an increasing level of comfort in shooting from the perimeter, as per basketball data provider iSports API.

Antetokounmpo’s steady evolution continues to make him one of the most remarkable superstars in the NBA, and the nickname has become synonymous with his persona.

Liverpool make a £22million offer for Trabzonspor ace Ugurcan Cakir

According to Turkish journalist Serdar Ali Celikler, Liverpool have made a bid of £22million offer for Turkish goalkeeper Ugurcan Cakir.

Celikler confirmed that the Reds have made an official bid for the player. Cakir is also set to benefit financially from the deal.

“I can confirm that Liverpool have made a bid for Ugurcan Cakir, which is worth £22m.”

The 24-year-old has been in impressive form for Trabzonspor since his debut in 2018. He is one of the best young goalkeepers in Turkey and made his national team debut last year, according to iSports football API.

（iSports football data API covers a wide range of games and leagues with livescore, standings, events, line-ups, pre-match odds, statistics）

In Alisson Becker, Liverpool have arguably the best goalkeeper in goal. It is in the backup area for the Brazilian that the club is found lacking.

Although Adrian has done well when called upon, a spate of high-profile errors by him have seen the club exit the FA Cup and the UEFA Champions League. With Loris Karius now back at the club, Jurgen Klopp has a decision to make regarding next season’s squad.

Alisson’s injuries this season have shown how important a backup goalkeeper can be. According to football data provider iSports API's report, Klopp is keen to ensure all bases are covered in the future.

Adrian may consider his future at the end of the campaign and could go in search of regular football. The Spaniard was earlier linked with a return to Real Betis in search of first-team football.

However, one obstacle against the deal being completed could be Cakir’s ambition to play regularly. It is difficult to see him usurp Alisson at this point in time.

Breaking down John Wall’s total NBA salary from his career

Washington Wizards point guard John Wall will have collected $278,892,145 in NBA money once his current contract expires in the summer of 2023.

The Wizards drafted Wall with the first overall pick in the 2010 draft after playing one season for a star-studded Kentucky Wildcats roster that also boasts fellow NBA All-Star DeMarcus Cousins and two-way veteran guard Eric Bledsoe. 

The explosive guard went on to have a commendable rookie season norming averages of 16.4 points and 8.3 assists per game according to iSports NBA livescore API while making $5,144,280. His efforts just fell short of grabbing Rookie of the Year which Sacramento Kings guard Tyreke Evans won.

In his second year, John Wall made $4,451,040. He finished his rookie contract with the Wizards by earning $5,915,880 in Year 3 and $7,459,925 in Year 4, as per iSports basketball API.

（iSports basketball data API covers a wide range of games and leagues with livescore, standings, events, line-ups, pre-match odds, statistics）

As expected, the Wizards signed Wall to a five-year, $84.8 million maximum rookie extension which kicked in during Year 5. The former Wildcat made $14,746,000 during the 2014-15 season. That was the first year of the extension.

To complete his rookie-scale extension, John Wall made $15,851,950 in 2015-16, $16,957,900 in 2016-17, $18,063,850 in 2017-18 and $19,169,800 in 2018-19. During that span, Wall averaged 21.0 points and 10.1 assists over 228 games. He also made three All-Star teams, according to iSports basketball data API.

In 2016-17, there was arguably no better point guard than Wall. He averaged 23.1 points and 10.7 assists. After that season ended, the Wizards signed Wall to a monstrous four-year, $171 million Designated Veteran Player Extension. The contract was set to kick in during the 2019-20 season.

Unfortunately, the injury bug started catching up to John Wall during the 2017-18 campaign. However, the superstar played through the ailments because that’s how he was brought up to play. The wear and tear ultimately kept making Wall’s pain worse. He finally made the smart decision to undergo heel surgery during the 2018-19 season after playing in 32 games, recorded by iSports basketball data.

After he got his heel surgery, though, John Wall fell at his house and tore his Achilles tendon. He was set to miss the entire 2019-20 season.

Wall has yet to fully live up to the contract due to injuries and has been the subject of ridicule among NBA circles and some far-fetched trade rumors.

Moving forward, Wall will make $41,254,920 in 2020-21, $44,310,840 2021-22 and $47,366,760 in 2022-23. He has career averages of 19.0 points, 4.3 rebounds and 9.2 assists in 573 games with the Wizards.

Borussia Dortmund suffer injury blow with key player

Borussia Dortmund have received a blow with club-captain Marco Reus likely to miss the rest of the season as a result of the adductor injury picked up earlier this year, German media reports.

The Germany international has been in good form for the Bundesliga outfit this term and he has bagged 12 goals and seven assists from 26 appearances in all competitions, according to iSports livescore API.

（iSports football data API covers a wide range of games and leagues with livescore, standings, events, line-ups, pre-match odds, statistics）

Reus’ career has been hampered by injuries which have seen him miss important games for club and country but over the past couple of years, he has managed to keep himself fit with only minor niggles.

However, it appears that he may not feature for the club for the rest of the current campaign due to the adductor injury suffered during the 3-2 defeat to Werder Bremen in the DFB-Pokal round of 16 tie in February, as per football data provider iSports API.

Dortmund are scheduled to face Bayern Munich in the Der Klassiker next week and the game should be relishing to watch with both teams in a good run of form this year.

Bayern as usual are leading the proceedings at the current phase of the season but Dortmund are right behind them with only four points being the difference.

Dortmund returned to Bundesliga action after the coronavirus shutdown with a comfortable 4-0 home win over Schalke in the Revierby. Bayern, meanwhile, had to battle it out for a 2-0 triumph at Union Berlin.

With the January arrival of Erling Braut Haaland, Dortmund have a quality striker, who can carry the goalscoring burden in the absence of Reus but they may still miss the creative presence of their captain from the number 10 role.

Irrespective of this, Lucien Favre’s side can’t afford to drop points in the title pursuit. They have an away game at Wolfsburg this weekend before they host Bayern at Signal Iduna Park on Tuesday night.

Marseille have offered André Villas-Boas a 1-year extension

Football data provider iSports API report that Ligue 1 side Marseille have now formally offered their Portuguese Head Coach André Villas-Boas a one-year contract extension, which if signed would see AVB’s deal run until June 2022.

Contacts never stopped between OM President Jacques-Henri Eyraud and Villas-Boas’ agents despite a series of meetings last week between the pair, the conclusion of which appeared set to be the departure of the ex-Tottenham and Chelsea boss, who magnificently led Marseille to a 2nd placed finish this season, despite limited financial means, as per iSports football API.

（iSports football data API covers a wide range of football games with score, standings, events, line-ups, pre-match odds, statistics）

The offer from a financial perspective is on the same wage terms that AVB is currently on. Villas-Boas remains highly affected by Eyraud’s forcing out of one of the Portuguese’s most trusted club allies, Andoni Zubizaretta, who resigned as Sporting Director last week.

The ex-Barcelona man was responsible for the hiring of AVB in the first place. As a result, Villas-Boas is not certain to accept the proposal now on the table.

Mo Salah revealed he turned down Real Madrid offer in 2018

A former coach with the Egypt national team has claimed that Mohamed Salah rejected a very lucrative offer from Real Madrid two years ago.

However, according to football data provider iSports API, it has proven a wise decision to stay at Anfield as Salah did get his hands on the Champions League trophy a year later and has gone on to score 47 times in the two seasons since.

（iSports football data API covers a wide range of football games with score, standings, events, line-ups, pre-match odds, statistics）
Hany Ramzy was the assistant to Héctor Cúper during his time in charge before exiting in 2018.



But it was that year as they were preparing for the World Cup that Salah confided in him about his future ahead of a fixture against Switzerland in March of that year.

“I was talking to Salah and he told me that Real Madrid had sent him an offer,” Ramzy told OnTime Sports.

“The offer was a really good one and Salah discussed it with me and Mr Cúper.

“In the end, he decided to stay with Liverpool because he is happy and comfortable there.”

As per iSports football livescore API, Just a few months after that decision, the former Roma man faced Los Blancos in the Champions League final, where he was infamously injured as his side fell to defeat.

AS do back up Ramzy’s claims, reporting that the player’s agent Ramy Abbas visited the Santiago Bernabéu in January of that year to discuss his client’s future.

Chelsea in talks with Juventus regarding Pjanic-Jorginho swap deal

Chelsea are considering a swap deal including Jorginho this summer.

As per football data provider iSports API, the Blues have opened talks with Juventus regarding an audacious swap deal which will involve Miralem Pjanic as well.

Apparently, Sarri wants to be reunited with Jorginho once again and Chelsea will be offered Pjanic in exchange.

Sarri has worked with Jorginho for a while now. The two had a great relationship at Napoli and Sarri brought him to Chelsea with him， recorded by iSports API's database.

（iSports football data API covers a wide range of football games with score, standings, events, line-ups, pre-match odds, statistics）

The Italian manager now wants to take Jorginho back to Italy.

It will be interesting to see if the two clubs can agree on a deal in the coming weeks.

Pjanic is a quality player but he is on the decline right now. Chelsea might end up giving away a better player in Jorginho if the deal goes through.

Frank Lampard needs to improve his midfield options and Pjanic might not be a major upgrade.

According to iSports football data API, the 92-cap Bosnian is likely to be keen on a move to London given his situation at the club. He is not a key member of Sarri’s squad and the 30-year-old needs a move away to resurrect his career.

The deal would certainly improve Juventus as a team. Jorginho is well suited to Italian football and he will be able to make an immediate impact. He is also a very well versed with Sarri’s style of play and he will help Juventus execute the Italian’s game plan better.

Valencia consider reappointing Unai Emery next season

Valencia are considering signing up Unai Emery to replace Albert Celades as their head coach, according to reports in Spain.

It is report that Valencia are looking at the option for Unai Emery to return to their bench. According to reliable football data provider iSports API，the 48-year-old already took charge of the club for four years between 2008 and 2012, pushing them up into the Champions League places – though failing to win trophies.

（iSports footballl API covers a wide range of football games with livescore, standings, events, line-ups, pre-match odds, statistics）

Now it looks like a comeback is on the cards. Valencia have Albert Celades on a contract until 2021, but the team sit three points outside of the Europa League places as things stand. A weak end to the season (assuming we get one) could see them replace Celades.

The Spanish outlet claim Emery has the profile Valencia are looking for. They view the last eight years as valuable experience he can now bring back to the club.

Emery is out of a job ever since leaving Arsenal in November. He spent a year and five months with the Gunners, finishing fifth, losing the Europa League final and leaving the team in eighth, eight points off the top four after just 13 games, as per iSports football livescore API.

Things didn’t go well in England, but his history in Spain is much more positive. Plus, one of Arsenal’s best nights under his tenure was a comprehensive win away to Valencia. This appointment is certainly a strong possibility.
