Odion Ighalo’s tenure at Manchester United will end further than originally expected. The Nigerian forward was scheduled to leave the side at the end of his current agreement on May 30, but such won’t be the case anymore. Instead, the talented forward has extended his agreement and now will remain at the club until January 2021.
The main reason why Manchester United managed to keep Ighalo for a longer period of time was the fact that the player was against leaving Old Trafford. A Manchester United supporter in his early years, Ighalo said time and time again that playing for The Red Devils was a dream come true. Shanghai Shenhua accepted that, and allowed Ighalo to remain on English soil for several more months.
Ighalo’s tenure will eventually end, though. As BBC …
Barcelona s longtime captain Carles Puyol on Friday signed a three-year extension to his current contract which will keep him at the Spanish and European champions until June 2013.
I am very happy with the trust that my peers and the club has shown in me, the 31-year-old Spanish international defender told Barcelona s website after signing his new contract.
The fans also played a key role in my decision to stay since they have constantly supported me, in the good times and the bad, he added.
The release clause of Puyol s new contract was set at 10 million euros (14.7 million dollars), the club said in a statement. It provided no other financial details.
Puyol rose through the ranks of Barcelona s youth team and has been a mainstay of the Catalan giants…
Spanish side Celta Vigo have signed midfielder Michael Krohn-Dehli from Brondby for an undisclosed fee.
The newly promoted La Liga side announced the transfer on their official website, stating that the player had signed a two-year deal at the club.
The 29-year-old arrives to Estadio de Balaidos as a replacement for Fabian Orellana, who has ended his loan spell at the club.
Krohn-Dehli shone at the 2012 European Championship, scoring 2 goals in 3 starts for Denmark, but that didn’t prove enough for his side to qualify for the quarter-finals.
The highly rated winger was subsequently paired with Swansea City, but in the end nothing came out of it.
Despite regularly being mentioned as one of the brightest talents in Denmark, Krohn-Dehli never quit…
Norwich City have confirmed Daniel Farke has left the club on the day the Canaries recorded their first win of the Premier League season.
Farke has spent the past four and a half years at Carrow Road, overseeing 208 matches in total.
He won the Championship on two occasions, though Norwich – who were relegated from the top flight in 2019-20 – have started this season poorly in the Premier League.
Farke s position has seemed increasingly precarious, though Norwich then mustered a 2-1 win over Brentford on Saturday.
However, it was not enough for the Austrian to keep his job, with Norwich having made the decision to cut ties heading into the international break.
Sporting director Stuart Webber said: In continuing to demand the very best for o…
Manchester City signed Belgium international Kevin De Bruyne from Wolfsburg, on this day in 2015.
City paid a then club-record fee, reported to be in the region of £54million, for a man who has been at the heart of what they have achieved since.
The 24-year-old, who arrived in the Premier League as Germany’s footballer of the year, signed an initial six-year contract to launch the latest, spectacularly-successful phase of his career.
Manchester City are delighted to announce the signing of @DeBruyneKev!

Preseason football gets underway in Southern California as the Los Angeles Chargers and Los Angels Rams battle for supremacy in the City of Angels. Both squads had disappointing seasons a year ago, but to a much different effect.
The Chargers went 10-7 in a strong regular season before utterly collapsing in a humiliating playoff loss in the Wild Card Round. The Rams bottomed out at 5-12, a steep decline and direct inverse of the year prior when they went 12-5 in the regular season and went on the become Super Bowl champs.
Looking at the NFL odds, the Rams are actually a slight favorite at home for this preseason opener. How can that possibly be the case? I explain that and more in my full NFL picks and predictions for Chargers vs. Rams on Saturday,…
Halloween is a very different holiday depending on if you’re a kid or a parent.
The actual process of Trick-or-Treating is the best — for kids and parents alike — but that sugar-fueled Mack Truck diverges on separate roads come November 1.
Kids want to dive into their candy pile like T.J. Watt on a strip-sack while many parents try to temper those temptations by capping the candy consumption, like keeping a running back on a snap count.
I found out a long time ago that this particular process is a war you just can’t win. Instead, I let the little ones have at it.

The Detroit Lions ended 32 painful years without a playoff win last weekend, and now they’re eyeing a spot in the NFC Championship Game as they take on the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in Sunday’s Divisional Round odds.
The Lions have home-field advantage too, thanks to the Green Bay Packers’ shock win over the Dallas Cowboys, and they enter as clear favorites in the latest NFL odds.
With both defenses excelling against the run, this game looks set to rest on the shoulders (and arms) of Jared Goff and Baker Mayfield — and that paves the way for some fun NFL player props in this high-stakes showdown.
