Leeds United Plot Shock Summer Move for Towering 6ft 5 Paraguayan Goalkeeper

May 12, 2025 RAYMOND 0

Leeds United are reportedly eyeing a summer move for 24-year-old Paraguayan goalkeeper Orlando Gill, who plays for San Lorenzo in Argentina. While the club has been linked with higher-profile targets like Sam Johnstone of Wolves and Liverpool’s Caoimhin Kelleher, Gill offers a more affordable and lesser-known option. Despite his relative obscurity, Gill has impressed in Argentina with nine clean sheets in 18 appearances, showcasing his potential.

With Illan Meslier’s inconsistency and 34-year-old Karl Darlow not seen as a long-term solution, Leeds are prioritizing a new goalkeeper. The club is expected to spend big this summer, with reports suggesting that manager Daniel Farke could have up to £150 million to strengthen the squad. While Johnstone and Kelleher would bring proven Premier League experience, Gill’s lack of exposure to top-flight football could mean a slower transition, positioning him more as a second-choice option for now.

Junior Firpo was all smiles as Leeds United players celebrated their Championship title with an open-top bus parade on Monday, but beneath the jubilation, there was an important matter left unresolved: his contract. Despite his standout performances this season, which included four goals and ten assists, Firpo has yet to sign a new deal with the club ahead of the Premier League return.

During the parade, Firpo made a playful yet telling remark, captured on Jayden Bogle’s live Instagram video. The left-back was heard telling Leeds United chairman Paraag Marathe, “send me the ting man,” seemingly urging for a contract resolution. His comments, made in the midst of a celebration, hint that talks are ongoing, and Leeds fans will be hoping for good news, as Firpo has proven himself to be a key asset in their promotion to the top flight.

Rangers Takeover Drama: US Investor Set to Attend Old Firm as Paraag Marathe’s Future Hangs in the Balance!

May 2, 2025 RAYMOND 0

Rangers’ takeover by the 49ers Enterprises group is approaching its final stages, with a deal to purchase a controlling stake in the club expected to be completed by the summer. Recent “productive talks” and a tour of Ibrox by Andrew Cavenagh and Paraag Marathe indicate that the transition is well underway. However, doubts have emerged regarding Marathe’s role as the Old Firm clash against Celtic approaches. Reports suggest that while Cavenagh will be a regular presence at Ibrox next season, Marathe’s involvement may be less frequent due to his prominent role at Leeds United, who have just secured Premier League promotion.

Despite these potential changes, Rangers supporters need not worry. With trusted figures like Cavenagh and Gretar Steinsson, who has shown solid management experience at clubs like Tottenham and Everton, overseeing the club’s operations, Marathe’s reduced presence is unlikely to disrupt the team’s future. While there are pressing concerns, such as the future of interim manager Ferguson and potential player departures in the summer transfer window, the 49ers are set to tackle these challenges head-on, ensuring that the club remains on course for success.

Ferguson Revolution: Rangers on the Brink of Securing ‘One of the Best Managers in the World’ – Is This the Game-Changer They’ve Been Waiting For?

April 25, 2025 RAYMOND 0

Barry Ferguson’s time at Rangers seems to be coming to an end, with speculation already turning to who might replace him in the summer. After a disappointing exit from the Europa League, Rangers have little to play for in the final fixtures of the season, as they are comfortably secure in second place, 15 points behind Celtic. The club is now focusing on the future, with the potential for one of football’s most successful managers to take charge when the new campaign begins in late July.

Meanwhile, Rangers are in “productive conversations” with an American consortium led by Paraag Marathe, aiming to inject much-needed capital into the club. With losses of £17.2m last year, investment is essential for the club’s long-term stability. Alongside this, the club has appointed Kevin Thelwell as head of football operations, signaling that behind-the-scenes changes are already underway. As part of this shift, there are growing rumors that José Mourinho could be in line to become the next Rangers manager. With a track record that includes multiple Champions League titles and league victories across four countries, Mourinho’s appointment would mark a major statement of intent from the new owners, offering Rangers the chance to elevate themselves to the next level.

Rangers may be entering a promising new era with the long-awaited 49ers takeover, but the challenges ahead remain steep. Despite the excitement, delays in finalizing the deal have left the club scrambling, with little time to prepare for a serious title push. As Celtic continue to surge ahead, the gap looks almost insurmountable in the short term. “It’s difficult to see anything other than continued dominance at this time for Celtic,” remarked Keith Jackson, summing up the growing concern that Rangers could fall even further behind before they find their footing.
