Jordan Amavi's move from Aston Villa to Sevilla has collapsed, after the Spanish club claimed he failed a medical. Villa accepted a bid for Amavi on Friday evening and the French left-back quickly agreed personal terms on a five-year contract. But Sevilla have now announced that they will not be continuing with the purchase, saying the player did not meet their necessary fitness standards. Sky Sports News HQ has spoken to sources close to Villa on Monday, who have told us they are bemused by the situation. They are adamant Amavi is fit, and that Sevilla are trying to save face after they decided to withdraw from the deal. Amavi joined Villa in a £9m move from French club Nice in the summer of 2015 as part of a ill-fated recruitment drive aimed at keeping Villa in the Premier League. Source

French defender Jeremy Mathieu has had his Barcelona contract terminated and joined Sporting Lisbon on a two-year deal. The 33-year-old centre-back leaves the Nou Camp after three seasons, in which he made 91 appearances and scored four goals, and has agreed a deal with the Portuguese club which includes a €60m release clause. Mathieu was one of Luis Enrique's first signings after he became Barcelona manager in the summer of 2014, arriving on a £19m transfer from Valencia In his time with the club, the Frenchman won nine three Copa del Rey titles, two La Liga championships, a Champions League, a Club World Cup, a European Super Cup and a Spanish Super Cup. A club statement said: "FC Barcelona wishes the player the best of luck and success in his next professional step." In the current transfer window, Barcelona have signed Gerard Deulofeu from Everton on a two-year deal and have made a bid to purchase Paulinho from Chinese club Guangzhou Evergrande. Source

Chelsea have made a move to sign Alvaro Morata from Real Madrid, according to Sky in Italy. The Blues are set to miss out on the signing of Romelu Lukaku to Manchester United and have now turned their attentions to securing a deal for the Spain international. Sky Sports News HQ understands Morata is keen on a switch to the Premier League having previously attracted interest from United. Real value Morata at close to £70m, although manager Zinedine Zidane wants the former Juventus forward to remain at the Santiago Bernabeu. Morata's agent, Juanma Lopez, and his father, Alfonso Morata, met with Real officials last Monday to discuss the future of the 24-year-old. Chelsea boss Antonio Conte is keen to strengthen his attacking options having told Diego Costa he is surplus to requirements at the club. Source

Atletico Madrid striker Fernando Torres has ended speculation about his future by signing a one-year contract extension, the La Liga club have announced. The 33-year-old, recently linked with a move away from Spain, will now remain at Atletico until June 2018. Torres is currently in his second spell with his boyhood club, who are under a transfer ban that restricts them from registering new players until the New Year, following spells away with Liverpool, Chelsea and AC Milan. The former Spain striker has scored 28 goals since returning to the Vicente Calderon but has fallen down the pecking order behind Antoine Griezmann and Kevin Gameiro under Diego Simeone. In a brief statement on Atletico's official website, Torres said: "I am very happy to continue one more year together." Source >> Know more about Fernando Torres skills <<

After apparently reconsidering his decision after news leaked Gordon Hayward had chosen to sign with the Celtics, he has again agreed to sign with Boston on a four-year, $128 million deal. Hayward will receive a player option in Year 4. "After seven years in Utah, I have decided to join the Boston Celtics," wrote Hayward at The Players Tribune. Hayward had yet to inform the Jazz of his decision before ESPN's Chris Haynes reported he would sign with the Celtics, which led his agent to walk back the emerging reports. Mark Bartelstein also added that the way his decision was reported upset Hayward and that he was reevaluating the situation. Hayward eliminated the Miami Heat from consideration on Monday evening. Hayward had changed his mind multiple times since the opening of free agency in trying to decide between the Celtics and Jazz. "There were so many great things pulling me in that direction," wrote Hayward. "There was the winning culture of Boston, as a city — from the Sox, to the Pats, to the Bruins. There was the special history of the Celtics, as a franchise — from Russell, to Bird, to Pierce, and it goes on. There was the amazing potential of this current Celtics roster, as a team — from ownership, to the front office, to a talented roster with Isaiah, and Al, and everyone else. And of course, there was Coach Stevens: Not just for the relationship that we’ve built off the court — but also for the one that we started building on the court, all of those years ago, in Indiana. "And that unfinished business we had together, back in 2010, when I left Butler for the NBA … as far as I’m concerned, all of these years later, we still have it: "And that’s to win a championship."

Sevilla confirm Vicente Iborra deal to Leicester City agreed, Sevilla have confirmed they have agreed a deal to sell midfielder Vicente Iborra to Leicester City. A fee of around £12.5m has been settled upon for Iborra, Sky sources understand, but he has yet to agree personal terms with Leicester. La Liga side Sevilla have now announced their captain will head to England for a medical before returning to Spain to bid farewell to the club where he has spent four seasons, with a deal possibly concluded this week.

Gareth Bale is loving life in Spain and has no intention of leaving Real Madrid and returning to the Premier League, Sky sources understand. The news comes after renewed media speculation that the Wales winger would be heading for Manchester United should Real be able to sign Kylian Mbappe from Monaco. Mbappe has emerged as a key target for a number of Europe's leading clubs this summer, with Arsenal and Liverpool also reported to be interested in the 18-year-old France international. While Jose Mourinho has been a long-time admirer of the former Tottenham player, behind the scenes at Old Trafford, United are not aware of a change of heart over Bale in Madrid. Bale has spent the last four seasons in Spain after leaving Spurs at the end of the 2012-13 season for what was then a world record fee of £85.3m. He has since won three Champions League titles, the most recent when Real beat Juventus at Cardiff's Principality Stadium. Source Bonus: Watch a little video about the best bale moments!

LeBron James says Golden State Warriors point guard Steph Curry will still be underpaid despite reportedly signing the biggest deal in basketball history. Two-time Most Valuable Player Curry, 29, is about to sign a $201m (£154.56m) five-year contract, his agent says. According to Forbes, that would make him the fourth-highest paid athlete. "Steph should be getting $400m this summer," said Cleveland Cavaliers player James, the current highest earner on $33.2m (£25m) a year. NBA teams have a salary cap, which next season is $99m (£76m) per year [an increase from $94m (£72m)], from which they must pay the wages of all their players. James, who has won three NBA titles, had questioned why there was a cap on players' earnings. Source

Real Madrid striker Mariano's move to Lyon signals the start of what should be a comparatively quiet summer at the Bernabeu. Much like last year, when the re-signing of Alvaro Morata from Juventus began and ended Zinedine Zidane's cash business, the transfer window won't so much be thrown wide open as left ajar to let in a rare breeze of tranquility. The return of Borja Mayoral from Wolfsburg provides a ready-made replacement for Mariano, with one youth graduate stepping into the boots of another as third-choice striker, and the remainder of Real's movements ahead of the 2017-18 season likely to follow a similar pattern. Zidane has proven himself more willing than his predecessors to dip into the Castilla stock and displayed a ruthless edge in his dismissal of Martin Odegaard, who did little to endear himself to the Frenchman during their time together in the reserves and faces a very steep path to a place in the first-team squad. Even Zidane's first-born son is not immune to his father's obsession with crafting the perfect squad -- Enzo joined Alaves last week on a three-year deal. The Real boss has gone his own way as far as transfer activity is concerned, and incredibly, he's so far managed to keep the president's chequebook under lock and key. The days of spending for the sake of it are on hold, and from Madrid's point of view, the timing couldn't be better. Several of Europe's top clubs need an overhaul, and the market has gone a little crazy, with selling clubs determined to hold the heavyweights to ransom. The £70 million that RB Leipzig are asking for Naby Keita is a stark indication of the current state of affairs. Real, though, do not need to get involved. No areas of the squad are in need of urgent attention, and the European champions are not going to strengthen their rivals on the cheap, as evidenced by the price (reported to be £70m) that Florentino Perez has put on Morata. If there is any genuine chance of persuading Monaco to sell Kylian Mbappe, Perez will surely pull up a seat at the auction, but otherwise he will likely follow his manager's lead again. A squad that has delivered back-to-back Champions League titles needs little more than a tweak, and much of Zidane's time will be spent trying to keep players rather than chasing new signings. His insistence on everyone's importance to the cause was a common thread last season, and he would consider a summer of zero movement to be a successful one. Players such as Morata and James Rodriguez will continue to agitate, either for assurances over playing time or, if that is not forthcoming, a move elsewhere. In that case, Zidane will seek replacements and won't be overly distressed by the departure of James. However, promoting Mayoral to the position of Karim Benzema's understudy would represent a huge risk were the No. 9 to suffer a serious injury, which is why Madrid's stance on Morata remains unyielding. Even if the 24-year-old does leave, finding a bench striker willing to bag a medal or two for a season of part-time employment is never a tricky prospect, while a third-choice attacking midfielder won't be hard to come by. Much-needed cover for Marcelo is reportedly in the pipeline in the shape of Alaves loanee Theo Hernandez -- quite a coup considering Atletico are his parent club. Marcos Llorente, who enjoyed a stellar season at Mendizorrotza, will return to provide cover for Casemiro -- the only player in the squad without specialist back-up. Even Danilo might have done enough in the absence of Dani Carvajal during the run-in to retain his place in Zidane's squad for another campaign, during which the Homeric search for his Porto form will continue. Real are enjoying the fruits of a logical succession, much like the Spain national team under former under-21 coach Julen Lopetegui. Zidane knows what the academy has to offer and will give Mayoral and Llorente their chance if they decide to stay. After helping Albert Celades' La Rojita to the final of the European Under-21 Championship in Poland, neither will be short of offers. Zidane is happier to mine La Fabrica -- a strata of the club that last produced gold-standard players in the days of Vicente del Bosque -- than he is to risk bringing in expensive and potentially unsuitable recruits from elsewhere. Lopetegui has a long way to go to emulate Del Bosque's achievements with Spain, but Zidane, operating in the less-forgiving cut-and-thrust world of club football, is more than halfway to doing so at Madrid after just 18 months. Perez may have been a tinkerer in the past, but, with Zidane in the driving seat and the titles flowing, he won't be looking to fix what isn't broken this summer. Source

Watford have secured the services of Spanish right-back Kiko Femenia and Austria U21 goalkeeper Daniel Bachmann. Former Spain youth international Femenia, 26, joins from Alaves on a four-year deal having played 31 times in LaLiga last season to help the club to a ninth-place finish. Femenia started his career as a winger and has also played for Hercules, Barcelona B, Real Madrid B and Alcorcon.

Saul Niguez is a key player for Atletico Madrid ? Saul Niguez has committed his future to Atletico Madrid by signing a new new deal until 2026. The 22-year-old has emerged as one of the most exciting midfield talents in Europe over the past two seasons, and was a key player during Atletico's run to the Champions League semi-finals last season. He played 53 games for Atletico last season, scoring nine goals, four of which were in the Champions League. Source

Arsenal CEO Ivan Gazidis made his best effort at bridge-building during Thursday evening's Q&A session with fans at the Emirates. But it's clear from the sometimes derisory atmosphere at the meeting that those supporters who are still disillusioned with years of what they called "stagnation" need action rather than words before their trust is regained by the Arsenal board. Gazidis used the session, which he hosts a few times a year, to call for unity among fans after unprecedented levels of dissent this spring, while also defending owner Stan Kroenke and the decision to stick with manager Arsene Wenger for another two years. He promised "top-class" signings this summer and pleaded with fans to show "togetherness" when the new season starts. He identified the hiring of new performance director Darren Burgess and contract negotiator Huss Fahmy as evidence that the club is making changes behind the scenes. And while he didn't necessarily offer the answers some supporters were looking for -- or produce Kylian Mbappe on stage with him -- he also didn't shy away from the tough questions about last season's Premier League collapse and the tepid atmosphere during home games. There was an emotional moment when the son of former FA Cup hero Reg Lewis told Gazidis in frank terms that the matchday atmosphere is the worst he's seen in 50 years and that he's never experienced "such a period of stagnation." Those comments drew widespread applause, and Gazidis admitted that "it doesn't make me proud or happy to acknowledge" that many other fans feel the same way. When Gazidis said he couldn't understand why supporters believe Kroenke -- the American majority owner -- is only interested in money, it was met with derisory laughter. Although, as Gazidis also pointed out, it's a lot harder to back up that belief after Kroenke turned down a bid from minority owner Alisher Usmanov that would have netted him a few hundred million dollars in profit.

The Sports Ground Safety Authority (SGSA) has written to football clubs across the country to ask them to check on any external cladding their stadium may have following the Grenfell Tower disaster. At least 80 people died after a fire ripped through a 24-storey Kensington tower block earlier this month, with Prime Minister Theresa May since telling her cabinet there needs to be "a major national investigation" into the use of cladding over a number of decades. Now the Government-funded public body SGSA, which monitors safety conditions at Premier League and Football League grounds, as well as Wembley and Cardiff's Principality Stadium, has written to owners and managers at stadiums as a precaution urging them to review any external cladding. A statement from SGSA read: "The Sports Grounds Safety Authority has issued guidance to sports grounds who are reviewing their fire risk assessments with specific reference to external cladding. "The investigation into the tragedy at Grenfell Tower is ongoing and whilst the cause of the fire is unknown attention has focused on the external cladding on the building. It is important that sports grounds owners and managers can make informed judgements about the fire safety of their buildings. "Sports grounds generally contain no sleeping risk, benefit from high levels of vigilance when in use and are often fitted with active and passive fire detection systems to help mitigate any fire risk. This does not suggest that there is no risk but these measures significantly mitigate the risk. "If aluminium composite material (ACM) cladding is identified, check it is the correct type and used in the appropriate location." Chief Inspector Ken Scott added: "As a precaution we are writing to sports grounds to advise them to check any cladding and review their fire risk assessments if necessary. "We don't want to cause alarm or add additional burden to sports grounds, but it is important that sports ground management are being proactive and are never complacent about people's safety. "It is important to stress that ACM cladding is not of itself dangerous, but the correct type should be used in the appropriate location." Source

Chris Paul is heading to Houston to join James Harden, giving the Rockets two All-Stars in the backcourt to lead their chase for an NBA championship. In the league's second blockbuster trade in less than a week, the Rockets acquired Paul from the Los Angeles Clippers on Wednesday in exchange for Patrick Beverley, Lou Williams, Sam Dekker, Montrezl Harrell, Darrun Hilliard, DeAndre Liggins, Kyle Wiltjer, a protected first-round pick next year and cash considerations. The Rockets acquired Hilliard from Detroit and Liggins from Dallas for cash considerations before adding them to the deal. "It's a weapons race in the NBA and you're either in the weapons race or on the sidelines," Houston general manager Daryl Morey said. "We felt like with James Harden in his prime and Chris Paul in his prime this gives us a real shot to chase the juggernaut teams that are out there. This puts us right there with them." Both the Clippers and Houston will look far different next season than they did in again falling short in the playoffs. The roster overhauls came five days after Minnesota sent three players to Chicago for All-Star Jimmy Butler to kick things off with NBA free agency opening on Saturday. The 32-year-old Paul will be playing for his third team after opting in for the last year of his contract so the Clippers could work on a deal. Morey wanted to get this deal done early so Paul could help Harden woo free agents to Houston. "Now that we have James and Chris I think people are going to look in free agency and say: 'Hey I can make this money there but maybe for close to the money but not quite as much I'm going to come to Houston and try to win a ring,"' he said. "So that's a big difference walking in with that kind of a situation." Paul is a nine-time All-Star who has averaged 18.7 points, 9.9 assists, 4.4 rebounds and 2.3 steals over his 12-year career, though he has been dogged with criticism in recent years for failing to help the Clippers get out of the second round of the playoffs. Los Angeles reached the postseason in each of Paul's six seasons with the team, but the Clippers were eliminated in the first round three times and in the Western Conference semifinals three other times.

Barcelona president Josep Maria Bartomeu is confident that the club will be significantly strengthened this summer but failed to comment on their reported interest in Paris Saint-Germain midfielder Marco Verratti. Verratti, 24, has been heavily linked with a move to Barca, but when speaking with beIN SPORTS, Bartomeu said that he "cannot talk about" certain figures of interest. "Verratti is a PSG player and has a contract with that club," Bartomeu added. "I only trust the work that [sporting director] Robert [Fernandez] does but without discussing names. "They know what is more convenient for us, what we need for next season and they are working hard on this. The Barca fans can be calm because next season we will have a very competitive squad, that will fight from the first day for all possible titles." Source
