The agent of Real Madrid playmaker Esteban Granero says the 24-year-old could leave the club, with Liverpool showing interest.

Granero rejoined Real Madrid in 2009 after a two-year spell at city-rivals Getafe, but has struggled to force his way into Jose Mourinho s first-team plans since the Portuguese coach joined the Spanish giants in 2010.

Teo Lazaro, the player s representative, said the Spaniard could move away from Real should more playing time not be forthcoming.

He s finding his chances limited at Real, Lazaro told The International Business Times. If he can t play at Madrid, then he ll play somewhere else. It s as simple as that.

He s keen for a move away possibly to Liverpool.

Penalty drama sends Germany through / Image via gettyimages.com

Euro 2016 witnessed a mammoth game in the quarter-finals as 2014 World Cup winners Germany locked horns with Euro 2012 finalists Italy in what has been the 34th meeting between two sides.

Germany have never beaten Italy at a major tournament before and tonight’s game was a highly anticipated event which for the most part failed to meet the expectations.

Both managers fielded matching formations tonight with Joachim Loew deciding to rival Antonio Conte with three men in the heart of defence. Benedikt Howedes replaces Julian Draxler, which allowed Loew to start with Howedes, Boateng and Hummels in the back with Jonas Hector and Joshua Kimmich as wing-backs.

Premier League strugglers Liverpool are considering a January bid for Benfica full-back Maxi Pereira, .

With neither Glen Johnson nor Javi Manquillo impressing this season, Brendan Rodgers is set to recruit a new right-sided defender in the winter and the Uruguay international appears to be his primary target.

With Pereira out of contract in the summer and yet to open talks over a new deal, the Reds believe they can sign the player for a nominal fee in January.

The 30-year-old possesses a wealth of international experience, having earned 87 Uruguay caps and featured at the 2010 and 2014 World Cup tournaments.

Stoke City manager Mark Hughes is adamant that Xherdan Shaqiri will not be sold in January, according to the Daily Star.

The Switzerland international is in fine form for the Potters and netted his third goal of the season, and second in his last three club outings in Saturday’s 2-1 defeat to bottom of the table Crystal Palace.

He has two-and-a-half years remaining on his current deal but his manager has warned potential suitors against making an approach.

In total, the twenty-six year old has racked up sixty-seven appearances in all competitions since signing from Inter Milan in the summer of 2015 while his goal at the weekend took him into double figures for the club.

The former Bayern Munich man made his sixty-fourth appearance for his country a…

Ligue 1 leaders showed their human nature by suffering successive blows over the past seven days and will be under great pressure to get back to winning ways against strugglers Lille on Saturday afternoon.

Back-to-back defeats to Strasbourg in Ligue 1 and at the hands of Bayern Munich in the Champions League have set the alarm bells ringing in Paris.

Having suffered their first domestic defeat of the season, the French heavyweights have been given another huge blow in Europe’s elite club competition with Bayern Munich getting their revenge for a 3-0 September beating in Munich. The most recent 3-1 loss to Bavarian giants saw PSG chairman Nasser Al-Khelaifi urge Ligue 1 leaders to ‘wake …

Looking to extend on their stellar purple patch this weekend, Boca Juniors will travel to the Estadio Libertadores de America on Saturday night when they meet Independiente.

Independiente

Starting with the hosts, while Independiente might have claimed a crucial boost earlier in the month as they snatched a 1-0 win away at Central Cordoba, it appears that might have just been a minor positive for Ricardo Zielinski’s inconsistent squad. Immediately crashing back down to earth last time out as they were hit with a 1-0 loss at the hands of Atletico Tucuman, El Rojo almost find themselves sat in Primera Division limbo in 2023. Recording just a single victory from their last four domestic appearances, the Buenos Aires-based outfit have gai…

Norwich City begin their new Premier League spell at home on Saturday, when six-time European champions Liverpool come to Carrow Road in the opening round of the 2021-22 season.

Norwich City

It took Norwich just one season to claw their way back into the English top-flight, after suffering relegation in 2020; a fine achievement by manager Daniel Farke and his men. Their Championship campaign was rather convincing as they ended it topping the table with 97 points, six more than Watford who have also moved straight up. Brentford are the team that completes the promotion trio, having won the play-offs.

The Canaries have added to their ranks at several points this summer. They ve signed wingers Milot Rashica from Werder Bremen an…

Football legend Gheorghe Hagi has backed Jose Mourinho to return Manchester United to their former glories.

United have finished seventh, fourth and fifth since Alex Ferguson bowed out of the game as a Premier League winner in 2013.

Mourinho has guided United to sixth in the league so far this term, despite the high-profile signings of Paul Pogba and Zlatan Ibrahimovic, but the Red Devils have won their last three games to close in on the Champions League places.

And Romanian icon Hagi says the Special One remains capable of topping England s game, despite his woeful title defence with Chelsea last term.

Mourinho has his secrets. It s not easy at United, Hagi told Omnisport.
