Arsenal engage in talks with Chelsea for Jorginho as Caicedo alternative

0

Arsenal have made a surprise inquiry to sign Jorginho from Chelsea. The Premier League leaders need a new midfielder, and need cover for Thomas Partey in the heart of the park. 

Mikel Arteta is reportedly an admirer of the Italian, which is why the late transfer is starting to materialise. However, it is not in the advanced stages just yet. Jorginho’s contract expires in the summer, which would allow him to leave for free. And as things stand, Chelsea want a decent fee to let him leave on deadline day. 

Arsenal in talks with Chelsea to sign Jorginho 

Moises Caicedo was the first option for Arsenal, and their most recent bid for him was worth £70 million. But, Brighton are not considering any offer worth under £90 million due to the situation that they are currently in. 

Even though the player has asked to move on, the Seagulls are adamant that their asking price must be met for a transfer to go through. And as things stand, an agreement isn’t close to being reached. 

Arsenal have also registered their interest in Declan Rice of West Ham, but any move will have to wait until the summer. As a result, Jorginho seems like the most probable option for the Gunners at this stage. 

The coming hours will be key for the transfer, depending on whether they can agree a fee with Chelsea.

Apple moves 25% of AirPods manufacturing to India

0

As the US technology giant moves production to other nations, Apple‘s long-standing relationship with China is coming to an end. According to reports, the India-based Jabil subsidiary that supplies they have begun making AirPods’ components.

Due to two factors, its footprint in China is still declining. The first is the problem with relying on only one production facility. We already know that this is a bad strategy thanks to the pandemic. The second justification is the detrimental effects of the shutdown and related events in China. The business increased the production transfer after the incidents at the Chinese factory.

Apple’s manufacturing of its AirPods in India details

Apple

With India serving as its main operational hub, it intends to keep producing in Asia. According to recent rumours, the Indian division of supplier Jabil has reportedly begun making parts for AirPods. Given the market share that AirPods have, this is a big milestone for the firm and India.

India will produce more than just headphones, in fact. Also recently launched in the nation is the production of the iPhone, iPad, and Mac. By 2020, instead of the current 5-7%, they want India to contribute 25% of its production. Since beginning iPhone production there in 2017, the corporation has staked a significant amount of money in India to support local manufacturing initiatives supported by the Indian government.

5 Apple moves 25% of AirPods manufacturing to India

A portion of iPad manufacture from China may be brought to India, according to CNBC. Tim Cook, the CEO, previously identified India as a potential market for expansion, despite the fact that they had only a 5% market share in the country’s smartphone market.

0

Having leaked almost everything about the Samsung Galaxy S23 series, we now have the pricing leak or say almost a confirmation by none other than AT&T.

One of the USA’s biggest telecom operators, AT&T has in fact allegedly confirmed the availability & price details for Galaxy S23 Series prior to the launch.

As spotted by the tipster, Ishan Agarwal, the base starting price of the Samsung Galaxy S23 series in the US will be $799, supposedly of the base 8GB+128GB variant, which again is touted to have UFS 3.1 storage instead of UFS 4.0. Whereas the S23+ will be having a starting price of $999, slightly more expensive than the iPhone 14 Plus.

Whereas the absolute flagship Samsung S23 Ultra with in-built S-Pen support will cost you $200 more i.e. $1,199, a similar starting price compared to the last gen. The pricing is absolutely spot on with the Indian pricing that was also leaked recently.

Galaxy S23

Samsung Galaxy S23 Series Specifications

The new S23 series will feature AMOLED Infinity-O technology that can be brighter than 1750 nits. While the Galaxy S23 will have a 6.1-inch Dynamic AMOLED display while the S23+ will sport a 6.6-inch screen and the Ultra variant will come highest 6.8-inch display.

Galaxy S23

The rear camera specifications are unchanged, but since the front camera has a 12MP resolution, the output should be 10MP, like the S22. The batteries of the Galaxy S23 and S23+ will each receive a 200mAh boost, giving them capacities of 3900mAh and 4700mAh, respectively.

The Galaxy S23 will still be capable of 25W charging, and the S23+ will still be capable of 45W fast charging. They will have Wireless PowerShare and Qi wireless charging capabilities.

Coming to the S23 Ultra is touted to be 233g in weight and dimensions 163.4 x 78.1 x 8.9mm. The Galaxy S23 series is said to be powered by the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 SM8550-AC. The chipset will work with 256GB, 512GB, or 1TB of storage in addition to 8GB or 12GB of RAM. The battery is rated at 4,855mAh, hence the usual capacity should be 5,000mAh as per custom.

In terms of camera, as confirmed recently, the Galaxy S23 Ultra will sport the same quad camera with minor upgrades. This new 200MP ISOCELL HP2 sensor will be the primary 200MP camera for the upcoming Galaxy S23 Ultra. To complement that you have another three cameras including a Sony IMX564 ultra-wide, 10MP Sony IMX754 for 3x telephoto and 10MP IMX754 10x telephoto sensor, similar to that of last year.

Everton bid £45 million to sign Connor Gallagher from Chelsea

Everton have made an offer for Chelsea’s Connor Gallagher, with their bid valued at £45 million. The Toffees have proposed £40 million in the form of a fixed fee, with the rest available in the form of add-ons. 

With the transfer deadline only a day away, Chelsea will have to make decision soon. Plus, the player will also have to decide whether or not a move away is the best choice for his career. Gallagher has said that he wants to stay and fight for his place with his boyhood club, and it will be interesting to see how things play out. 

Everton make surprise Connor Gallagher bid 

Several Premier League clubs are interested in signing the midfielder, with the likes of Crystal Palace and Newcastle United being linked with him recently. However, neither of them have made a formal offer to sign him like Everton have. 

While Chelsea have signed a lot of players in the transfer market, they have not recruited a lot of central midfielders. And with N’Golo Kante yet to return, a dynamic box-to-box midfielder is a huge requirement for the team. 

Gallagher fulfils that role in some capacity, and provided a goalscoring threat that neither Jorginho nor Mateo Kovacic add. He has shown signs of his quality but hasn’t been able to lock down a consistent starting place. 

He would be expected to have a more important role away at Everton, but would probably not compete in Europe. As a result, it depends on the player as to whether he will choose to leave Chelsea at this stage of his career.

Bayern Munich sign Joao Cancelo on loan with €70m buy option in shocking switch

0

Bayern Munich have reached an agreement to sign Joao Cancelo from Manchester City on loan. The defender will be joining on a temporary deal with the option to make it permanent for €70 million down the line. 

Medical tests for the move will take place later tonight, upon which, he will be officially announced as a new player for the Bundesliga champions. 

Bayern Munich to sign Joao Cancelo on a loan deal 

The bid to sign Cancelo has materialised out of seemingly nowhere. Noussair Mazraoui is currently injured, and Benjamin Pavard could leave in the summer with Barcelona interested in signing him. 

There are concerns about whether City will have enough cover in the squad in case they can’t sign a replacement. However, with the emergence of Rico Lewis and Sergio Gomez, as well as Nathan Ake’s good form, they can have back-up for the remainder of the season. 

Joao Cancelo was one of the best players for the club last season. His attacking output was very important as they won the Premier League title. However, things haven’t gone according to plan this year. He has started only three of their last ten games and hasn’t played as much. 

Cancelo’s relationship with Pep Guardiola has deteriorated as well, and this has resulted in him asking to leave. The player was labelled disruptive after speaking out about his lack of game time. And City have allowed him to leave to prevent things from getting any worse. 

Chelsea return with new bid for Enzo Fernandez worth €120 million

Chelsea have not given up on their pursuit of Enzo Fernandez yet. The Blues have made a new offer for him, in hopes of getting through to the club and landing their top transfer target. 

Benfica have been insistent on the player’s €120 million release clause. However, Chelsea are proposing a payment plan in instalments instead of the amount in one go. Todd Boehly and Behdad Eghbali are personally working on the move, and are waiting to hear back from the Portuguese side. 

Enzo Fernandez to Chelsea could still be on 

The Benfica board alongside their president, Rui Costa, is meeting to decide whether or not they will accept the offer. The Argentine was named the Young Player of the Tournament at the 2022 World Cup, and this might be the best deal that they get for him. 

The Premier League club has been pushing for the transfer to go through. And after two meetings in the last 24 hours, things finally seem to be moving towards a deal being agreed. 

Personal terms are not an issue, as Enzo has already accepted Chelsea’s proposal and project. The only barrier to the switch taking place is the agreement between the two clubs. Once that is in place, he will be able to make the move to Stamford Bridge. 

However, with Rui Costa declaring that Benfica have no intentions to sell Fernandez, it could be an agreement to sell in the summer. Which could mean that the player spends the rest of the season in Portugal before moving to England next season.

Real Madrid and Barcelona drawn together as another exciting El Clasico awaits

Barcelona already got the better of Real Madrid this season as they won the Spanish Super Cup beating them in the finals. Barcelona will be hoping to achieve an El Clasico double by beating Los Blancos in the Copa del Rey semi final.

Real Madrid and Barcelona last faced each other in the Copa del Rey back in 2019 and the tie was won by the Catalans. Barcelona last won this competition in the 2020-21 season, while, Real Madrid won the competition in 2014. Carlo Ancelotti was in charge of Real Madrid as they beat Barcelona in the finals. He would be hoping to recreate that result once again as they would also want to take revenge for their Spanish Super Cup loss.

The football fans are in for another El Clasico treat. This match always promises to bring out the best of each team and let us witness one of the greatest rivalries of club football.

The first leg of the semi-final will be played on 1st or 2nd March and the second leg will be played on 4th, 5th or 6th April. The Copa del Rey final take place on 6th May 6 at La Cartuja.
