“It will be difficult for him to recover in time for the match against Uruguay, but we will do our best,” the Egyptian FA president added. He also said that the Liverpool striker will not train with his teammates during this time to focus on his rehabilitation program.
Reporters caught Salah at the airport with his head covered to avoid contact with the media. Despite receiving many questions about his injury situation as well as the foul of his teammate Ramos, the Egyptian striker only responded with silence.
Chelsea suddenly abandon Sarri, change direction to Blanc
It seemed that Maurizio Sarri was close to Chelsea but at the last minute everything was in danger of falling apart. The English team cut off contact with Napoli and Sarri. At the same time, Chelsea sent someone to negotiate with former PSG head coach Laurent Blanc.
Yesterday, Napoli president De Laurentiis confirmed that he “has no longer received any contact from Chelsea”. That means the Stamford Bridge team has abandoned the intention of paying 8 million euros to break Sarri’s contract.
It should be recalled that the Italian strategist was forced to leave the position of Napoli head coach last week (Napoli is waiting for Carlo Ancelotti). However, Sarri's contract is still valid, and the San Paolo team is still paying the 59-year-old coach. Therefore, President De Laurentiis insisted on demanding 8 million euros from Chelsea to release Sarri.
Sarri's release clause will expire today (May 31). If Chelsea does not spend 8 million euros at the last minute, the Italian coach will still be on the Napoli payroll for the next year (although not in the coaching position). That means Chelsea's plan to buy Sarri has officially collapsed.
A less expensive solution is to find a coach who is free. That is Laurent Blanc. According to the British press, Chelsea's female director Marina Granovskaia flew to France to meet the 52-year-old strategist. The former coach of the French team is eager to return to football after a 2-year break since leaving PSG. In the past two years, Blanc has refused many teams to wait for an offer from a big team.
Arsenal offer Ramsey 5-year contract
Arsenal have offered a new five-year contract to keep midfielder Aaron Ramsey. Notably, he and his agent had been negotiating with the Gunners' board of directors a few weeks ago about this issue.
In case Ramsey is still not satisfied, Arsenal will decide to sell the Welsh player in the summer of 2018 to avoid losing him for free.
For Ramsey, this could be the last big contract of his career, so the 27-year-old wants to consider it carefully. As if he stays, he must be sure of being guaranteed a place in Emery's squad.
Man City has first "blockbuster"
While MU is rushing to add more players to defeat Pep Guardiola and his team, writer Claudio Russo of calcionapoli24 said that Man City has reached an agreement to sign Jorginho from Napoli, with a salary of 4.5 million euros/year.

Man City have reached a personal agreement with Jorginho. |
Regarding the fee to be paid, Russo revealed that after rejecting Man City's offer of 45 million euros (Napoli wanted 55 million euros), the two sides are likely to reach an agreement of 48 million euros, plus other bonuses and add-ons, reaching 50 million euros.
Jorginho was chosen to replace Yaya Toure, taking some of the work off Fernandinho. The Napoli star is considered one of the most effective passers in Europe today.
The reason Ronaldo's contract has not been renewed
Spanish football expert Guillem Balague revealed that the reason Ronaldo's contract has not been renewed by Real Madrid is because the Portuguese superstar's salary is too high.

Ronaldo demands a very high salary even though he is 33 years old and President Perez is in no hurry, especially since he is very fond of Neymar. |
He said that in fact, a year ago, President Perez promised to extend Ronaldo's contract.However, the legendary number 7 feels that the boss does not "love" him as he said, and Real Club, as in the past, has not treated him commensurate with what he has contributed to the team.
Ronaldo's salary is currently behind Messi and Neymar. And now "he wants to go above Neymar's level and match Messi's figure. Last month, in the first discussion, Real offered him a total figure of 33 million euros/year after tax.
Ronaldo wants more, wants 40 million euros (to surpass Messi). He will not receive that amount, Real will not accept it."
