Published

on

Chelsea have reportedly offered Zlatan Ibrahimovic a staggering two-year deal worth almost £20million to try and tempt the Swedish striker to Stamford Bridge.

According to French website FootMercato, the Blues have taken the first significant step in trying to bring the 34-year-old to the Premier League.

Interest from English clubs in Ibrahimovic is high with the Paris Saint-Germain striker out of contract in the summer.

After helping PSG to a fourth straight Ligue 1 title at the weekend, Ibrahimovic joked that he would stay in Paris next season if they replace the Eiffel Tower with a statue of him.

He said: “For the moment I will not be at PSG next season. I still have a month and a half here. “If they replace the Eiffel Tower with a statue of myself then I will stay at PSG, I promise.”

NFF Denies Blacklisting Leon Balogun from Super Eagles

Published

on

Leon Balogun, whose sudden absence from the Super Eagles squad raised concerns, especially after his comments on players’ welfare, has been cleared by the Nigerian Football Federation (NFF). The NFF has denied that his exclusion is related to his outspoken interview.

In a statement, NFF spokesman Ademola Olajire addressed the rumors, stating that the claims were incorrect.

“The interview in question was in June 2021. Since then, Balogun has participated in seven games for the Super Eagles. This is verifiable. He was included in the squad for AFCON but missed out due to injury. He returned in 2022, playing in both World Cup qualifier matches against Ghana and in the AFCON qualifiers under coach Jose Peseiro,” Olajire explained.

He continued, “Claims that Balogun’s absence is due to his interview are unfair to the NFF. We do not make player selections for coaches, and the concerns raised by Balogun in that interview were addressed by us. No directive has been given by the NFF to blacklist him from the Super Eagles.”

With Eric Chelle’s list on the horizon, fans are hopeful for a potential Balogun return. His wealth of experience and continued presence in top-tier football make him a valuable asset, and many, including this writer, believe his inclusion would still be beneficial for the national team. Fingers crossed!
