Former Atalanta captain Papu Gomez recently joined Sevilla in a €5 million deal with €3.5 million in addition in the form of bonuses, capping off one of the best deals in the mid-season transfer market. Elsewhere, Mesut Ozil also ended his lengthy Arsenal stay with the termination of his contract and a transfer to Fenerbahce.
A number of MLS clubs were circling for the two attacking midfielders, with multiple clubs pursuing them throughout January. Cincinnati wanted Papu Gomez. They were seriously trying and were calling his agent. However, they could not find an agreement with the player and Gomez, more importantly, wanted to play in the Champions League still. He has also wanted to play for Sevilla for a long time.
Hence, the move to Spain is somewhat a dream move for the Argentinian. Speaking on the American interest in the pair, Fabrizio Romano and Francesco Porzio said on the Here We Go podcast that Ozil to DC United was also an option, but the player preferred a move to Fenerbahce.
However, with all that said, a move could still go through in later years, with North America being a favoured destination for the more experienced players in Europe.

Christian Eriksen’s move from Tottenham Hotspur to Inter Milan has not really gone according to plan, with the Dane struggling to make a sure-shot starting berth during his time in Italy.
Eriksen was sure to leave the club and Inter CEO Beppe Marotta publicly acknowledged that he would be leaving during early December. Inter Milan’s financial situation is very complicated, with the salary problems yet to be fully sorted out.
They are trying to sell part of the club. Suning can’t go on because of government problems in China. Moreover, the club indulged in no new signings because of said financial problems.
In the case of Christian Eriksen, they asked for a loan fee and the full salary for Eriksen, which is a huge amount. Spurs were trying again and were in contact with Inter regarding their former player in an attempt to bring him back to the club. The main reason behind the pursuit of Eriksen was him being considered as a replacement for Dele Alli, who has been frozen out of the squad by Jose Mourinho.
Eriksen was part of the proposed short term plan at Spurs, but Inter said no because they wanted the money and Spurs didn’t pay up. Hence, the Dele Alli deal collapsed, with the London club being unable to secure a replacement for the Englishman.
Arsenal’s Kieran Tierney has been hit with a series of recurring injuries that have forced the player into the sidelines. Left-back options were considered by Arsenal to potentially secure the position, with the player being so important to the club.
Here is what Mikel Arteta had to say regarding Tierney’s recovery from injury:
“No, it’s a different injury in this case. Kieran is a player that really pushes himself and he has to be able to perform physically at his best because he cannot help himself. Even in training he can’t help himself.
“We are trying to manage him in the best possible way and find every possibility to give him the best chance to be fit as soon as possible, and we are here to support him as much as we can.”
Barcelona’s Junior Firpo was a target for Arsenal this past transfer window, with the player spending extended spells out of the first team in the first place. However, despite the Gunners angling for a move, the player didn’t want to change clubs because of personal reasons and AC Milan were rejected for the same reason.
Speaking on the Here We Go podcast on Patreon, Fabrizio Romano and Francesco Porzio agreed that the Barcelona outcast was on the radar of the North London club. Arsenal wanted a loan deal with a later option to buy. He didn’t refuse any clubs but wanted to stay in Spain a lot more than he wanted to leave.
Although Amazon has plenty of resources to solve those problems it encounters, the company can still not establish the process of making videogames. The free-to-play hero shooter Crucible flopped so badly that Amazon Game Studios decided not to release it, and then the company had cancelled the project. The MMO New World has also been delayed multiple time and still don’t have a release date.
According to a Bloomberg report published in January informed that the studio “cultivated a ‘bro culture’” and suffered from inexperience in upper management, including studio’s head Mike Frazzini, who started in Amazon’s book department.
Andy Jassy, who will be the next Amazon CEO this summer, showed support in an email to the staff and said that Amazon remains focused on its game business.
Jassy wrote, “Some businesses take off in the first year, and others take many years. Though we haven’t consistently succeeded yet in AGS, I believe we will if we hang in there. Being successful right away is obviously less stressful, but it’s often sweeter when it takes longer. I believe this team will get there if we stay focused on what matters most.”
Making games is not easy for everyone, as Tyler said, even trillion-dollar global companies like Amazon. Maybe some changes in management could fulfil the target like include some experienced leadership, turn around the internal culture, and the rest of the things might fall into place.
It seems interesting to see Jassy’s recommitment to making games and if you have noticed or not, this comes just a few days after the announcement of Google that it is pulling the plug on Google’s Stadia internal studios.

Maurizio Sarri was approached by Marseille to replace their recently sacked coach Andre Villas-Boas. Sarri reportedly said no to joining the Ligue 1 club because he wants to wait and start in the summer.
He doesn’t want to start in the middle of the season and wants time and pre-season. Speaking on the transfer on the Here We Go podcast on Patreon, Fabrizio Romano and Francesco Porzio, the duo commented that Sarri is not a manager that adopts a lot and wants to impose his style on the team which is very difficult to do in the middle of the season.

His former stints at Napoli, Chelsea and Juventus are a testament to that very statement. Villas-Boas was “suspended” by Marseille following his comments in a recent press conference that disrespected the club and basically confirmed that he is in a leaving mentality.
They had meetings with his agent and him as well but he said no for now. However, being out of a job since he was sacked from Juventus following their Champions League exit against Lyon last season, he could take up the job at the end of the season.
Former Dortmund boss Lucien Favre is a complicated one as well, but has reportedly only been considered for the job.

The home side again doubled their score with an advantage just after the start of the second half when the veteran forward Roberto Soldado made a run from behind the Barca defense and confidently beating Marc-Andre ter Stegen.
Ronald Koeman later on substituted on Sergio Dest, Ousmane Dembele, and Martin Braithwaite in the hope of getting a better result.
Antoine Griezmann turned out to be the saviour and helped the team pull back a goal two minutes from time when Messi pass hit the post and then Granada goalkeeper Aaron Escandell before he crossed the line. A 92nd-minute header from Jordi Alba pulled the match into extra-time. Griezmann again helped Barca and put in front early in the additional 30 minutes, but Granada levelled it again just before the break as Fede Vico scored a penalty after Sergio Dest fouled Carlos Neva inside the box.
However, Barca again, with Frenkie de Jong’s goal, restored their lead, along with Alba adding his second goal of the match with a stunning volley to ensure Barca’s entry into the semis.
De Jong and Pedri showed incredible performance in the game with their intelligence of moments to attack and when to defend when they were taking risks to get back into the game.
Alba and Griezmann turned out to be heroes for the night with their excellent performance ensuring Barca’s entry into the semi-finals of the Copa Del Ray, along with Messi’s amazing judgment of when to pass. Dembele also delivered some dangerous crosses and caused problems with his pace to the opposition. Braithwaite’s presence in the box was of great importance. However, a bit more was expected from Ter Stegen. But the most important aspect is that the team has reached the semis after a thrilling quarter-final.
