Man City line up shock bid for Eibar’s veteran Spanish keeper Asier Riesgo

-
The Manchester City boss has targeted the Eibar keeper, 35, to bolster his squad as he hunts a hat-trick of Premier League .

Riesgo, out of contract and available on a free, would give cover for No 1 Ederson along with fit-again Chilean Claudio Bravo.

It would allow Aro Muric to go out on loan again, with Nottingham Forest keen on a season-long deal.

The 20-year-old returned early from his spell at NAC Breda following Bravo’s injury and will be allowed out again, with Nottingham Forest interested in a season-long deal.

And Riesgo is seen as the perfect keeper to come in and add experienced back-up after his 18 years as a pro in Spain.

He started at Real Sociedad where he worked closely with current City goalkeeper coach Xabier Mancisidor, who has given the move his seal of approval.

AC Milan will not play in the 2019/20 Europa League after breaching Financial Fair Play rules, the Court of Arbitration for Sport has announced. The decision has been taken with the Italian club aiming to balance their books before competing in European competition again. CAS issued a statement confirming they have accepted an agreement between the two parties due to Milan's previous breaches of FFP regulations. A ruling by UEFA's Adjudicatory Chamber of the Club Financial Control Body (CFCB) in December 2018 stated the Serie A giants would be excluded from participating in European club competitions if they breached the rules again before June 2021. If they were unable to be break-even compliant, Milan would have been excluded for the next UEFA club competition they qualified for in either the 2022-23 or 2023-24 seasons.  Milan’s absence means Roma, who finished a place behind the Rossoneri in the Serie A table, will enter the group stage draw for the Europa Leagu...

USA, Thailand break Women's World Cup records

The United States have set another record at the 2019 Women's World Cup. USA created a piece of history in Thursday's group-stage finale against Sweden as they set a new benchmark for the most goals scored in the group stage of a World Cup, men's or women's tournament, at 18. They scored 13 against Thailand - recording the biggest win in either men's or women's World Cup history - added three against Chile and reached the milestone in the 50th minute against Sweden in Le Havre. Hungary (1954) and Norway (1995) previously jointly held the record at 17. USA will take on Spain in the last 16 on Monday ahead of a potential quarter-final against hosts France, but their goalscoring exploits meant Thailand also set an unfortunate record on their second appearance at the Women's World Cup. Their hammering at the hands of USA in their opening match contributed to them conceding 20 goals at the finals, more than any team in the tournament's hist...
