Frank Lampard will become the new manager of Chelsea. after Abramovich assured him that he'll be given at least two years to make his impact at Stamford Bridge. According to a report in the Daily Mail, Frank Lampard has been handed the guarantees he needed from Roman Abramovich. and will take the reigns as soon as Maurizio Sarri's switch to Juventus is confirmed.... The former Stamford Bridge midfield icon, 40, is being fast tracked into the position for the hotseat after cutting his teeth at Derby.Abramovich has given Lampard the thumbs up and he has reportedly agreed to the move in a phone conversation last week. Lampard is currently on holiday with wife Christine and his family after the heartbreak of play-off defeat to Aston Villa two weeks ago. Maurizio Sarri is set to be announced as Juventus manager in the next few days after the two clubs agreed a compensation package for the Italian, 60. That money can then be used to pay financial strugglers Derby the remainder of Lampard's contract. Chelsea are facing a two-window transfer ban for breaking rules in signing young players and are considering an appeal to the Court of Arbitration for Sports.but they will not have their case heard before the window closes on August 8. SunSport reported overnight that the Blues hierarchy want Lampard. — who will be supported by fellow Chelsea old boy Jody Morris and ex-Newcastle keeper Shay Given. — to give the club’s outstanding academy products their chance.But the expectation remains that Lampard will finish in the top four and deliver Champions League football for 2020-21. He will be taking over a squad that lost Eden Hazard while the club is also serving a transfer ban. And Lampard will not be axed unless he has a catastrophic start. — as Chelsea know they are hiring him ahead of schedule due to the circumstances.

The Red Devils failed in an opening bid of £40million for the right-back. – and reports yesterday claimed that crystal Palace want £70m. According to the guardian, United are hopeful of agreeing a fee this weekend for 21-year-old Wan-Bissaka. England Under-21 star Wan-Bissaka is under contract until 2022 but has told Palace he wants his dream transfer to United. ... United are desperate to sign the defender but feel a £70m fee is high. and the guardian report that crystal Palace are exploring other ways of making the difference up. One potential way being suggested, is that United could remove a sell-on fee in Zaha’s contract that would give crystal Palace full rights to a future fee if Zaha is sold. United insisted on a 20% sell-on clause when they allowed Zaha to return to Selhurst Park in 2015. and could pocket as much as £16m if a club meets Palace’s £80m valuation for the winger this summer. Removing the clause would essentially take crystal Palace to their valuation for Wan-Bissaka. and the Eagles would then be more inclined to let the defender move to Old Trafford. Wan-Bissaka, for his part, has made it clear that he feels the chance of joining United is a ‘once in a lifetime’ opportunity. The defender will not hand in a transfer request to leave Selhurst Park. but is hopeful that a fee will be agreed in the coming weeks. Wan-Bissaka is currently on international duty with England’s U21. but he wants his future resolved before he embarks on his summer holidays before returning for pre-season.

With 50,000 fans there to welcome him, the Belgian winger's presentation at the Santiago Bernabéu couldn't have gone much better. But as he swapped Blue kit for white kit, the one thing missing was a number on the back. just as had happened the day before with Luka Jovic. Eden Hazard says he is not worried about shirt number or penalty kick responsibilities at Real Madrid, but rather fitting in with his new team-mates now that he's finally with the club. ... The Belgian completed a €100 million (£88m/$112m) move from Chelsea last week, putting an end to months of speculation leading him to the club. Hazard is one of several incoming signings made by the club this summer. including striker Luka Jovic and defenders Eder Militao and Ferland Mendy.Following a third-place finish in La Liga and a stunning Champions League loss to Ajax in the Round of 16. Real Madrid are bringing in new faces to shake up the dressing room and return the club to glory under Zinedine Zidane. Hazard is the man that should replace Ronaldo. His departure to Juventus really cost Madrid a lot. Hazard insists that he isn't coming to Madrid to ruffle feathers. Case in point is the discussion of what shirt number he will choose, with Luka Modric currently holding onto the No. 10, a number Hazard says he will willingly give up. "I've talked to Modric through Kovacic. I jokingly asked him if he could leave me No.10, he said no, I have to find another number," Hazard said on Thursday. "For me the number is not important, but to play with this shirt, with this badge." Hazard also says he will not drag to take penalties for Real Madrid, with several other penalty-takers already in-house. Sergio Ramos took eight of the club's 12 spot kicks last season, with Karim Benzema taking 3 and Gareth Bale taking 1. Hazard says the responsibility lies with Ramos, even when hazard took 6 of his 7 attempts for Chelsea last season. "When one plays for Real Madrid there is only one star, the team is the star," hazard said. "I arrive as a new player. At Chelsea I had been playing for seven years, here I come as the new player and I will try to contribute in everything possible. "Regarding the penalties, I think the captain of the club shoots them very well. If they ask me to take them away... I do not think he's going to ask me, I think he'll keep scoring."What is much more probable is that Hazard will take a number that is already in use: either the 7 of Mariano (which was famously worn by Cristiano Ronaldo and Raúl before him) or 11, the current property of Gareth Bale.

Manchester United are now ready to finance their way into contention and try to tempt Griezmann with £95m to snub the Nou Camp for Old Trafford instead. Barcelona have been in the front seat for months, but their failure to wrap up the deal has given Manchester United hope. ... And United are set to bid £95m for the Atletico man. which would break their transfer record set when buying Paul Pogba from Juventus for £89m in 2016. The Sun report that the Manchester giants will offer a huge deal worth £450,000-per-week to sign for Ole Gunnar Solskjaer. Paris St-Germain are another club interested in Griezmann, and their ability to offer the player Champions League football could give them the edge. Griezmann has been close to joining United before."After speaking with Cholo (club coach Diego Simeone). then with Miguel Angel and the people in the hierarchy of the club. I wanted to speak with you, the fans, who have always given me a lot of love," said Griezmann. ”I wanted to tell you I have taken the decision to leave. “The truth is it has been difficult to take this route. but it is what I feel I need and I would like to thank all of you for the love you have shown me during these five years. The player has said he does not regret his decision but recognized it as “the most complicated decision of his sporting life”. “I do not regret having stayed at Atletico and not leaving for Barca. Like I said, they [Atletico] gave me love,” Griezmann said in an interview to Telefoot (Via Mundo Deportivo). “The most difficult decision of my career? Yes, there are times when I was not well. I talked to my wife, I woke up at three in the morning wondering what to do. I talked to her, but she was not able to help me. “She did not know 100% what I though, as well as my parents. Some people in my family wanted to see me at Atletico, others at Barcelona, so it was very complicated,” the Atletico star concluded. Griezmann is still confused for now as to stay or to leave. but fulltime-predict believe griezmann will leave atletico madrid.

Griezmann announced at the end of the 2018-19 season that he is ending his five-year stay in Atletico Madrid. But while Barcelona have long been mentioned as the team closest to clinching his signature, a potential move is still shrouded in doubt. ... Griezmann endured a rough reception from Camp Nou during Atletico's last visit to Catalunya. while there has been precious little movement on talks since the Liga campaign came to a close and the striker dropped his bombshell.That seeming hesitation threatens to allow other teams to make their own approach. with Manchester United one of the teams reportedly interested in the player. Part of the motivation behind such a delay lies in the details of Griezmann's Atletico contract. which was renewed amidst great fanfare and with a video produced by none other than Gerard Pique last summer. Under the terms of the deal, the 2018 World Cup winner is subject to a release clause worth a whopping 200 million if he moves away from the Wanda Metropolitana before July 2019. Marin told a Spanish radio station: "I am very clear about where he is going to play, it is known since March, at Barcelona."" the director explained. Atletico finished the season second in La Liga, behind Barcelona and without a trophy, after blowing a 2-0 first-leg lead in the Champions League last 16 against Juventus. and losing to Girona in the same round of the Copa del Rey. Griezmann joined from Real Sociedad in 2014. Last season he helped Atletico win the Europa League..

Lampard began his managerial career at the start of last season with Championship club Derby County. after a stellar playing career, mainly spent at Chelsea, where he amassed over 400 appearances in 13 years.The 40-year-old led Derby to the Championship play-off final in his maiden campaign, with a host of Chelsea loan players at the team's core. though the Rams ultimately missed out on a Premier League place to Aston Villa last month - going down 2-1 at Wembley. ... A key part of Lampard's coaching staff has been former Blues teammate and current assistant manager at Derby, Jody Morris. Goal have also reported on Tuesday that Lampard is set to meet with the club in the coming weeks to discuss the potential move. Should the deal be completed, he would succeed Sarri, who is bound for Juventus following the departure of Massimiliano Allegri. Sarri's likely departure has led to speculation over his successor, and while Lampard remains in the driving seat. two other names have been linked in recent days.Former Juventus manager Max Allegri is also believed to be in the running after leading the Turin giants to their fifth Serie A title in a row last season. but Ferdinand has insisted his former England team-mate is the only logical appointment. “He is the perfect choice,” he told The Mirror . “I will actually be surprised if they look elsewhere. “They have tried with all these great managers. No disrespect to Allegri, he’s done unbelievable things at Juventus. but they have had Carlo Ancelotti, they have had Conte, Sarri, Mourinho - all managers who have done great things - and never stuck with them. “So are you going to continue doing that, and keep blowing money away with these managers who you have to pay up after two years?. Or are you going to go with someone who the fans are going to love to have back?”. A transfer ban that could potentially cover the next two windows currently hangs over Chelsea. but Ferdinand claims this could work into the club’s hands – if they give the top job to the right candidate. And if there are those displaying signs of nerves in the Blues’ boardroom due to Lampard’s lack of top flight experience as a manager,. he points to the job carried out by Guardiola, who also had just a year of coaching under his belt before he took the reigns at Barcelona in 2008. “If Chelsea are going to get a ban transfer-wise, I don’t think they can look anywhere but Frank if I am honest,” said Ferdinand.

This comes after the shot-stopper expressed his concerns regarding the competitiveness of the La Liga outfit heading into next season. stressing that despite recently signing a new contract, his future at the club depends on their ambition matching his own.Oblak’s association with Atletico could be coming to an end this summer, as reported by ESPN. due to his growing frustration of “broken promises” made by the club. ... It is claimed he is a boyhood United fan and has set his sights on a move to the Premier League club. despite United’s failure to qualify for next season’s Champions League. ESPN also says United, amid uncertainty over De Gea’s future, drew up a contingency plan to trigger a €120m buyout clause in Oblak’s previous contract. PSG are also reportedly in the running for Oblak’s signature, as the Slovenia international weighs up his options. This summer has seen Atletico defenders Lucas Hernandez, Diego Godin and Juanfran all leave the club. Filipe Luis is also set to depart when his contract expires at the end of June. Elsewhere, star forward Antonine Griezmann has confirmed his desire to move on this summer, with Barcelona the likely destination.The 26-year-old has established himself as one of the best goalkeepers in the world and signed a contract extension with Atletico in April. which includes a €120 million (£107m) buyout clause. But speaking last week, Oblak warned Atletico that he is ready to leave if the club’s hierarchy decide to sell their key players. ‘I will stay at Atletico as long as their ambitions match mine,’ he said. ‘And some people might think their ambitions have lowered, as big players have left. ‘I am sure the club will do everything possible to sign quality players. When I signed my new contract they gave me guarantees about the club’s ambition.According to ESPN, Oblak is now open to the prospect of leaving Atletico and is wanted by both United and Paris Saint-Germain. But the Slovenia international favours a move to Old Trafford as he supported United as a child and is keen to play in the Premier league.
