Despite numerous reports linking Mohamed Salah with leaving Liverpool this summer as his contract enters its final year, the Merseysiders expect their star winger to stay put for the next season, according to David Ornstein of .
Salah, extremely important in everything Liverpool have done under Jurgen Klopp since joining the club in 2017, has been going through a rough patch of form lately, largely coinciding with the rapid decline of his team s chances of winning the Premier League title as well as their exit from the Europa League. His frustration peeked during the draw against West Ham at the London Stadium on Saturday as he appeared to lash out at Klopp on the touchline, strengthening the belief the 31-year-old would likely be leaving Anfield together with the German tactic…
Memphis Depay has signed a two-year contract with Brazilian club Corinthians following his departure from Atletico Madrid.
Depay was left out of the Netherlands Nations League squad this month due to not having a club, but has now committed his future to Corinthians until December 2026.

With the 2012 African Cup of Nations underway, let s take a look at what has gone down in the 28th edition of the tournament in Gabon and Equatorial Guinea.
We begin by reviewing the play of two best teams, Ghana and Ivory Coast.
The Black Stars
Ghana defeated Botswana 1-0 in their only match in Group D thus far.
The Black Stars next match is later today against Mali, who are currently ranked 69th in the FIFA/Coca-Cola World Rankings.
Ghana will surely be favored in the match, but it will not be an easy fixture by any stretch of the imagination.
Mali are playing well at the moment, and are coming off of a 1-0 win over Guinea, who thrashed Botswana 6-1 earlier today.
That being said, I would be shocked if the Black Sta…
Tony Popovic has pledged to instil a new energy into Australia s play after replacing Graham Arnold as the Socceroos head coach.
Arnold surprisingly resigned after six years in the role on Friday, following a poor start to Australia s 2026 World Cup qualification campaign.
A 1-0 defeat at home to Bahrain and a goalless draw in Indonesia in the September international break left the Socceroos fifth in the Asian World Cup qualification standings, with only the top two finishers getting automatic spots at the 48-team tournament.
Former Crystal Palace centre-back Popovich, who won 58 caps for Australia between 1995 and 2006, says there is enough talent available to change their fortunes.
Coaching the Socceroos is probably a dream come true, Popovic told rep…
It was an underwhelming day for England as they could not seal their place in the next round of Euro 2020, though Sweden moved a step closer to at least ensuring they do not go home early.

While the matches may not have set pulses racing, there was still plenty to talk about.
Using Opta data, Stats Perform takes a look at some of the best facts from across the day s games.
Good point for Scotland or did their performance merit more?

Hosts Brazil were agonisingly denied a place in the final of the women s football tournament at Rio 2016, courtesy of a penalty shoot-out defeat to Sweden.
Despite being on the front foot for the vast majority of Tuesday s match at the Maracana, Brazil were unable to break the deadlock against a team they beat 5-1 in the group stage.
After 120 minutes of goalless action, Sweden ran out 4-3 winners on penalties. Pia Sundhage s team will now face Germany, 2-0 winners over Canada, in Friday s final.
Silver medallists at the 2004 and 2008 Olympics, Brazil had high hopes of going one better on home soil, particularly after Sweden eliminated two-time reigning champions the United States in the last eight.
That win also came in a shoot-out, the approach of S…
International football s perennial underachievers Spain are in defiant mood ahead of their Euro 2008 Group D opener against Russia in Innsbruck on Tuesday.
The talented Spaniards have earnt themselves a reputation as chokers and mentally brittle over the years after flattering to deceive time and again on the biggest stage.
But their players have been firing back with fighting talk this week and are in determined mood ahead of their clash against the unfancied Russians.
Mallorca striker Daniel Guiza insisted the team are paying no attention to their critics.
I don t care what people are saying. We have to stay calm and not listen to these commentaries, he said.
They have possibly the most talented midfield and attacking combination in the to…
