BARCELONA BACK OUT: PREMIER LEAGUE GIANTS TAKE LEAD IN RUUD NIJSTAD PURSUIT
Ruud Nijstad transfer news: Chelsea, Man City, and Newcastle join the race as Barcelona's €10m deal collapses. Read the latest.
Chelsea, Manchester City, and Newcastle United are all lining up to challenge Barcelona for Ruud Nijstad, one of the most talked-about young defenders in Europe right now.
Nijstad, just 18 and already breaking through at FC Twente, has caught the eye of scouts everywhere. Since making his debut this season, he’s become a hot topic in the recruitment rooms of some of the biggest clubs on the continent.
Barcelona tried to get ahead of the pack. They’ve been in talks for months, hoping to nail down a deal quickly. But here’s the catch: they weren’t willing to pay more than €10 million, at least according to people on the Twente side. And Nijstad himself? He wasn’t sold on the development plan Barcelona pitched. He’s looking for something that’ll really push his career forward, and he didn’t see that in their offer.
That hesitation from Barça has blown the race wide open. Now, more than a dozen clubs are circling. Bayern Munich, Borussia Dortmund, and RB Leipzig have all sent scouts to watch him more than once in the last few weeks.
But honestly, the biggest moves are coming out of England. Chelsea’s owners, BlueCo, and the City Football Group at Manchester City are both working hard to land Nijstad. They’ve got something to offer that stands out: a clear path to the Premier League through their multi-club systems and a long-term plan that’s really attractive to young players. They can actually show Nijstad how he could get from Twente to the biggest stage in English football.
And it’s not just those two. Tottenham, Aston Villa, Brighton, Brentford, and, of course, Newcastle have all been tracking him too, sending scouts over and over to see if his early-season form holds up. So far? The reports have been glowing.
Even though Nijstad only made his senior debut this year, he’s already showing a cool head, smart decision-making, and a maturity you just don’t see often in teenage centre-backs.
Twente have him under contract until 2027 and wants to lock him in for longer. But let’s be real: the biggest clubs in Europe are circling, and now the Premier League giants are getting serious. Twente will fight with their hands to keep one of the Eredivisie’s most promising defenders.
From what we’re hearing, this transfer battle is just getting started. With Barcelona stepping back and England’s heavyweights ramping up, Nijstad’s next stop looks more and more likely to be the Premier League.
TRANSFER BOMBSHELL: AC MILAN DEMAND €80M FEE AS PREMIER LEAGUE GIANTS EYE PULISIC
Christian Pulisic back to England? Discover why AC Milan want €80m for the USMNT ace and which PL clubs are leading the race.
AC Milan is expected to ask for €70-80 million for Christian Pulisic this summer, as Premier League clubs show interest.
Reports say that several Premier League teams want to bring Christian Pulisic back to England. AC Milan seems willing to sell, but they want at least €70-80 million for the USMNT star.
Since moving from Chelsea, Christian Pulisic has become a key player for AC Milan. He's not only a star for his club but also a regular for the US national team.
After another solid season with AC Milan, there's talk of him returning to the Premier League, with Arsenal and Liverpool mentioned as possible destinations. But it's not clear if these teams, especially Arsenal, are serious, especially with AC Milan's high asking price.
AC Milan wants at least €70-80 million for Pulisic, which they could use to improve their squad. The big question is whether that price is reasonable enough to attract buyers, as interested teams might not be willing to pay that much.
Manchester United has also been linked with Pulisic, but they seem more interested in other players like Iliman Ndiaye. The 27-year-old AC Milan star might be an option for them, but paying €70-80 million might be too much for Manchester United.
Will AC Milan lower Pulisic’s price?
Tottenham are also interested in Pulisic as they look for players to help it improve. But since they probably won't qualify for the Champions League, their chances of signing Pulisic might be lower, as other Champions League teams will also be interested in him.
To make a sale more likely, AC Milan might have to lower their asking price. Pulisic might want to play in England again, but it depends on the interested teams, and it seems unlikely that Manchester United or Arsenal will make a move.
LEAGUE RANKINGS: REGIS LE BRIS OUTPERFORMS RUBEN AMORIM IN NEW MANAGERIAL PPG STANDINGS
Sunderland reach 10th place! Explore the stats behind Regis Le Bris’ 1.54 PPG and the impact of Granit Xhaka and Brian Brobbey.
Nobody really saw Regis Le Bris coming when Sunderland handed him the manager’s job in the summer of 2024. Sure, he’d built a solid reputation at Lorient; he helped shape a bunch of future internationals, first in their academy and then with the senior team, but still, folks had their doubts. He wasn’t exactly a household name, and his appointment felt like a bit of a gamble.
But Le Bris didn’t waste much time silencing the doubters. Sunderland looked like a different team almost overnight. They went from Championship hopefuls to serious Premier League contenders in his first season on Wearside. Even though they didn’t grab the automatic promotion spots, Le Bris ended the club’s eight-year exile from the top flight with a wild playoff run. They edged past Coventry City in a tense semi-final, then pulled off an unforgettable win over Sheffield United at Wembley. It was the kind of stuff Sunderland fans dream about.
He wasn’t working alone, of course. The club backed him with some bold signings: Robin Roefs, Granit Xhaka, and Brian Brobbey. Suddenly, Sunderland had a real squad, and they actually looked like they belonged in the Premier League. As they head into the home game against Fulham next Saturday, they’re sitting tenth in the table, just four points off a European spot. Whatever happens next, Le Bris is already a hero at the Stadium of Light. Fans love him, and his place in club history is pretty much set.
So, how does Le Bris stack up against other Premier League managers when it comes to average points per game? Here’s where he lands:
Michael Carrick (Manchester United): 5 games, 2.60 ppg
Pep Guardiola (Manchester City): 574 games, 2.28 ppg
Liam Rosenior (Chelsea): 5 games, 2.27 ppg
Mikel Arteta (Arsenal): 329 games, 2.02 ppg
Arne Slot (Liverpool): 95 games, 2.02 ppg
Enzo Maresca (Chelsea): 92 games, 1.97 ppg
Unai Emery (Aston Villa): 177 games, 1.85 ppg
Daniel Farke (Leeds United): 132 games, 1.82 ppg
Eddie Howe (Newcastle United): 214 games, 1.73 ppg
Scott Parker (Burnley): 80 games, 1.63 ppg
Oliver Glasner (Crystal Palace): 100 games, 1.59 ppg
Marco Silva (Fulham): 215 games, 1.55 ppg
Regis Le Bris (Sunderland): 79 games, 1.54 ppg
Keith Andrews (Brentford): 26 games, 1.54 ppg
Fabian Hurzeler (Brighton & Hove Albion): 76 games, 1.53 ppg
Nuno Espirito Santo (Nottingham Forest): 71 games, 1.48 ppg
David Moyes (Everton): 49 games, 1.45 ppg
Ruben Amorim (Manchester United): 63 games, 1.43 ppg
Andoni Iraola (Bournemouth): 115 games, 1.41 ppg
Sean Dyche (Nottingham Forest): 25 games, 1.40 ppg
Thomas Frank (Tottenham Hotspur): 38 games, 1.29 ppg
Vitor Pereira (Wolverhampton Wanderers): 38 games, 1.24 ppg
Nuno Espirito Santo (West Ham United): 23 games, 1.17 ppg
Graham Potter (West Ham United): 25 games, 0.92 ppg
Rob Edwards (Wolverhampton Wanderers): 15 games, 0.47 ppg
Ange Postecoglou (Nottingham Forest): 8 games, 0.25 ppg
Igor Tudor (Tottenham Hotspur): 0 games, N/A
Vitor Pereira (Nottingham Forest): 0 games, N/A
Le Bris sits pretty much in the middle of the pack with 1.54 points per game, not quite up there with the big names, but definitely holding his own. For a guy who was a bit of an unknown, he’s done more than enough to earn respect, both from Sunderland fans and across the league.
