Saido Berahino has finished this Premier League season on a high note as he scored twice against Chelsea in the penultimate match of the campaign. The 21 year old has had a spectacular season as the youngster managed to score 14 league goals and he was able to claim the 7th spot of the top goal-scorers, he has the same amount of goals scored as Chelsea’s Eden Hazard.

There is no doubt whatsoever that Saido Berahino has been one of the standout players of the season and he has entered the watch-list of a number of clubs including: Manchester City, Liverpool and Tottenham Hotspur.

The manager of West Bromwich Albion announced that if an offer is received by the club and if the player himself is interested in leaving then nobody will stop him.

On some occasions, when a top club wants to sign a promising young talent it can be difficult as the team where the youngster is performing does not want to let him go and this is what occurred for a few years with Cesc Fabregas.

Back when Cesc Fabregas was performing with Arsenal, he was being searched by Barcelona and the Spanish club was willing to spend upwards to €30 million in order to sign him but Arsene Wenger did not want to sell the midfielder and this continued going on for a number of transfer windows until eventually Fabregas was signed by Barcelona in August of 2011.

However in this case, Tony Pullis is actually willing to allow Saido Berahino to leave for a decent offer and nobody in the club will interfere with the transfer. Read more “Tony Pullis will not stop Saido Berahino to leave West Bromwich Albion”

Barcelona is interested in signing Paul Pogba

Paul Pogba is one of the most sought out talents of the approaching summer transfer window. At the age of 22, Pogba has demonstrated that he has what it takes to join a top club and win major pieces of silverware.

Manchester United, Chelsea, Real Madrid and Barcelona are just a few of the clubs that have shown interest in signing the French player.

Barcelona’s Josep Maria Bartomeu confirmed that the star player of Juventus, Paul Pogba is the leading target of the club and the future of Pogba remains unclear as the Italian club is willing to allow him to leave during the next transfer window but only if the price is right.

Even though Barcelona has a transfer ban which runs up in 2016, this ban has not stopped the club in signing players as they have already signed Aleix Vidal from Sevilla but the player will only be able to play an official competitive match for Barcelona in January of 2016.

“It is true that Pogba is a leading target of ours and obviously we are interested, but I can’t say anything more. We are forbidden to recruit players until January, so I can’t talk about it.” Those were the words which were released by Barcelona’s Josep Maria Bartomeu as he confirmed that the Spanish side is indeed interested in signing Pogba.

There does seem to be difference in opinion between certain figures involving Paul Pogba.

The agent of Paul Pogba is Raiola and he stated that there is a possibility of Pogba leaving Juventus during the summer but this will only happen if a club offers a substantially high amount of money and Real Madrid, Barcelona as well as Manchester United are all capable of doing that.

However, the CEO of Juventus, Giuseppe Marotta believes and wants Pogba to continue performing in the Italian club for another season.

 

Pep Guardiola is seen as one of the best in the club’s history

Barcelona’s time under Pep Guardiola is seen as one of the best in the club’s history.

The Barcelona team achieved in numerous records in the five years spent under their former captain. One of those records was 11 successive victories in all competitions. The current Barcelona team, under Luis Enrique, have equalise this record after managing to win all their matches since the 1-0 defeat against Real Sociedad at the start of January. The incredible run of results has put Barcelona within touching distance of the table leaders, Real Madrid. They currently trail Carlo Ancelotti’s team by just one point.

Manager Luis Enrique, though, is keen to keep his feet on the ground as he says that these records mean nothing if the club does not win any titles this campaign. It was a forgettable last season after the team failed to win any major honour under the stewardship of Gerardo Martino. This particularly places a lot of pressure on Enrique. A major reason towards this impeccable form has been superstar Lionel Messi, who has been going from strength to strength in this period. This has taken away all the rumours about an impending departure. Messi is now only two league goals behind Cristiano Ronaldo for the season.
