Messi "locks" Pogba's future to MU

ESPN sources said that theMessiLeaving Barcelona to join PSG will have an immediate impact on MU regarding Paul Pogba's future.

Barca turned their backs on Messi, not signing a contract extension as promised, citing financial reasons and regulations from La Liga.

PSG is said to have immediately contacted Messi directly to invite him to Parc des Princes with a 2-year contract with a 12-month extension option, salary of 40 million euros/season after tax, not including bonuses and "handicap" fees.

Once Messi's deal to PSG is confirmed, it means the rich French team will end MU's interest in Pogba.

According to the above source, once the Messi deal is completed, PSG immediately gave up interest in signing midfielder Paul Pogba from MU this summer.

This means, MU must convince Pogba to extend his contract, or face the risk of losing the French midfielder for free next summer.

ESPN also added that Messi's presence could convince Mbappe to stay at PSG, extinguishing Real Madrid's hopes of signing the 22-year-old striker.

Chelsea reach agreement to buy Lukaku for 115 million euros

According to transfer expert Fabrizio Romano, Chelsea have reached an agreement to sign striker Romelu Lukaku from Inter Milan for 115 million euros.

The deal has been completed after smooth and cooperative negotiations. Chelsea will soon make an official announcement about the deal. Thus, Lukaku will become the most expensive player in Chelsea's history. Previously, Chelsea spent 80 million euros to own Kepa and Kai Havertz.

Lukaku is about to return to Chelsea.

With a five-year contract worth €250,000 a week (€12 million a year), Lukaku earns a lot more at Chelsea than Inter (€7.5 million a year). But money is not the only reason why the 28-year-old agreed to join the Blues. It was Chelsea's huge ambition that convinced Lukaku to return to the Premier League, a league the Belgian striker is no stranger to.

Before joining Inter, Lukaku had played for Chelsea, Everton and MU. With Lukaku, Chelsea has given up on Erling Haaland. The young Norwegian striker was the Blues' number one choice in the transfer market this season, before they switched to Lukaku. The Belgian striker will not need much time to adapt to his old team.

Why did Thanh Hoa extend the contract of the oldest coach in V.League?

After the change, the camp was released becauseV.League 2021is on hold, Thanh Hoa has promoted the contract extension with coach Petrovic. This is quite surprising because coach Petrovic is 74 years old this year and at this age, most military leaders will choose to spend their old age with their family.

Coach Petrovic started working at the Thanh Hoa team from 2016 - 2017, culminating in bringing the Thanh Hoa team to the V.League 2017 runner-up position for the first time in history. After that season, Mr. Petrovic left Thanh Hoa and returned to his hometown Serbia. By the end of 2020, when Mr. Doan took over the position of Club President, he quickly connected and successfully negotiated with Coach Petrovic.

Coach Petrovic is leaving a big mark in Thanh Hoa.

“I had intended to retire, but Mr. Doan really wanted me to come to Vietnam to work, so I decided to return to V.League. Recently, Thanh Hoa has had many changes in the way the team is managed and operated. Working here, I feel very respected and have full authority to make professional decisions,” Coach Petrovic once shared.

Although he has turned 74, Mr. Petrovic is still full of vigor and clarity. Returning to lead Thanh Hoa, Mr. Petrovic has helped this team no longer be in trouble but instead become full of vitality, of which the 5th place on the V.League 2021 rankings is the clearest proof.

“Mr. Petrovic’s way of working has convinced everyone. We found a common voice with the orientation of building a team with a strong identity and always striving to improve. Coach Petrovic is very suitable for Thanh Hoa football, so we decided to extend the contract,” said Mr. Cao Hoang Duc - General Director of Thanh Hoa.
