It’s not clear precisely what went on between the pair, but there’s clearly some bad blood after their time working together with the La Liga club.

See below for a video of the incident, though it possibly doesn’t capture the entire context of what went down, with additional footage and reporting from TNT Sports suggesting Simeone may have started it by pushing a member of Arsenal’s coaching staff…

Tensions were clearly high towards the end of such a big game, with Arsenal eventually going through after a 1-0 victory on the night, and a 2-1 win over both legs of the tie.

Simeone is known for being a bit of a fiery character, so it’s possible that he didn’t show his best side here as he looked to get his team back into the game.

Arsenal get past Atletico Madrid into Champions League final

In the end, Arsenal held on to their lead in a close and intriguing tie against Simeone’s side to make it to only their second ever Champions League final.

The Gunners have had to wait 20 years for this moment, with the club last reaching the final of this competition in 2006 when they were beaten 2-1 by Barcelona.

Mikel Arteta’s side are also top of the Premier League in what could still be a memorable season, though they will likely be underdogs in the Champions League final whether they end up facing Bayern Munich or Paris Saint-Germain.

Manchester United are currently leading the race to sign Atalanta’s Ederson, ahead of other top clubs including Arsenal, according to prominent Italian journalist Matteo Moretto.

The 26-year-old Brazilian, who has been a standout performer in Serie A, is increasingly likely to head to Old Trafford this summer.

While Atletico Madrid were previously considered the frontrunners, United’s financial muscle and a lucrative contract offer have shifted the momentum firmly in their favor.

Man United leading the race to sign Ederson

Speaking via Fabrizio Romano’s YouTube channel, Moretto revealed that several Premier League sides have stepped up their interest.

However, the Red Devils have made the most significant move, reportedly offering a salary that surpasses the proposals currently on the table from Spain.

Moretto said: “I can tell you that Manchester United are currently the club that has shown the most interest, offering around €4.5 million net per year.

“Arsenal have also made enquiries, though Ederson is not a priority for them. Right now, United appear to have the strongest financial capacity.”

While a personal agreement seems closer, United still face the task of negotiating a transfer fee with Atalanta.

The Italian side is known to be tough negotiators and is expected to demand a high fee, likely in the region of £39 million (€45-50m), for their midfield engine.

Man United need to bolster the midfield this summer

The pursuit of Ederson comes at a critical time for Manchester United’s midfield.

Following a season of transition under Michael Carrick, the club is preparing for a significant clearing of the decks.

Manuel Ugarte is expected to be sold after failing to cement a regular starting spot, while veteran Casemiro has decided to leave the club at the end of this season, with interest from the MLS.

With Kobbie Mainoo recently signing a new long-term deal until 2031, United have secured a generational talent to build around.

However, the departures mean, United will need to bring in replacements.

To bolster the squad for their return to the Champions League, United are reportedly looking to sign at least two midfielders.

Viktor Gyokeres’ overall play as Arsenal’s focal point, both on and off the ball, has seen a marked improvement in recent weeks, and Premier League legend Alan Shearer believes the transformation is down to a specific tactical tweak by Mikel Arteta’s side.

The Swedish powerhouse has not been able to repeat the his outrageous goalscoring numbers from last season and often struggled with the physicality as well, but he has improved as the season went.

Alan Shearer on how Arsenal have improved Viktor Gyokeres

According to Shearer, the secret behind this surge in form lies in the service provided by the Arsenal midfield.

Speaking as a pundit on Amazon Prime during Arsenal’s vital victory in the Champions League semi-final, Shearer noted that the Gunners have finally learned how to maximize their striker’s unique skillset.

Shearer elaborated that early service prevents opposition defenders from doubling up on the Swede, allowing him to use his explosive pace and strength in one-on-one situations.

By eliminating the extra touches in the buildup, Arsenal have turned Gyokeres from a target man into a devastating transitional weapon.

He said (via BBC Sport): “One of the things I think Arsenal have improved on is Gyokeres. They need to play the ball quick and early to him, and it’s something they’ve done more of in the last few weeks.”

Gyokeres has been praised by Wayne Rooney

It isn’t just Shearer who has been impressed by the forward’s development. Former Manchester United captain Wayne Rooney also recently praised him for becoming the focal point that Arsenal missed.

Following his best ever performance in an Arsenal shirt against Fulham, Rooney said the following about Gyokeres:

“I’ve liked Gyokeres all season. I think he does so well for the team. He occupies defenders and I think his goal tally has been good this season. This is when you need him now, during the run-in. This is what you need when you bring a no. 9 into the club. This is when you need them most.”

Arsenal are reportedly interested in signing the Newcastle United defender Tino Livramento at the end of the season.

According to football transfers, Arsenal are looking to replace Ben White in the summer, and they have identified the Newcastle defender as a target.

Arsenal in talks for Tino Livramento

They have reportedly held talks with the player’s representatives regarding a summer move, and it will be interesting to see if they come forward with an official offer to get the deal done.

Livramento is a key player for Newcastle United, and they will not want to lose the player easily. They have had a disappointing season, and they will look to bounce back strongly next year. Signing the right players could help them get back on track.

Meanwhile, Arsenal have had an outstanding season so far, and they are looking to win the Premier League title and the UEFA Champions League. Adding more quality to the team will help them sustain their current run of form and compete at the highest level.

Livramento could be tempted

The opportunity to play for the London club could be exciting for the Newcastle defender as well. It would be a step up in his career, and he would get to play for one of the biggest clubs in the world.

It will be interesting to see if Arsenal can secure an agreement with Newcastle. The player has also been linked with clubs like Manchester City in recent months.

The 23-year-old is a reliable performer in the Premier League, and he has shown that he has the quality to play for bigger clubs and compete at a higher level. It remains to be seen where he ends up.

The Belgian appeared to hesitate on the ball, and for a moment, it looked like the opportunity might have vanished against a compact Atlético defence.

However, Trossard managed to fire a low drive toward the bottom corner. While Jan Oblak reacted with a sharp parry, Bukayo Saka was the most alert man in the box, to tap it in on the rebound

It is huge goal from Saka and a massive goal that has put Arsenal just 45 minutes away from a place in the Champions League final.

Saka’s incredible form since returning from injury

Saka has made an instant impact since returning from an Achilles injury, proving once again why he is indispensable to Mikel Arteta’s tactical setup.

After a lengthy spell on the sidelines through April, he returned to the starting lineup this past weekend and looked like a man on a mission.

In a crucial 3-0 victory over Fulham that kept Arsenal six points (now five) clear at the top of the Premier League, Saka played only 45 minutes but still managed to record a goal and an assist.

Tonight, he has translated that domestic dominance to the European stage.

While Arsenal faced heartbreak earlier this year, losing the League Cup final to Manchester City and suffering a shock FA Cup exit at the hands of Southampton. the potential for a historic Premier League and Champions League double remains very much alive.

With Saka firing on all cylinders, the Gunners look ready to exorcise their continental demons and finally claim the trophies that have eluded them for decades.

Liverpool and Arsenal are interested in signing the Bournemouth attacker Eli Junior Kroupi at the end of the season.

The 19-year-old has 12 goals in 30 league matches for the Cherries, and top clubs are interested in securing his signature. According to a report from INews, Liverpool are looking to reshape their attacking unit after the departure of Mohamed Salah, and they are firm admirers of the French attacker.

They believe he could become a key player for the club. However, the Cherries are unwilling to sanction his departure. The player is valued at in excess of £100 million, and they are hoping to offer him a new contract after his impressive debut campaign.

It will be interesting to see if Liverpool decides to come forward with an offer for him at the end of the season.

Meanwhile, Arsenal are keeping tabs on his situation as well. Even though Viktor Gyokeres has scored 20 goals in all competitions, this season, he has not been prolific enough in the Premier League.

Arsenal need more quality in the final third, and the French attacker would be ideal for them.

The 19-year-old has the potential to develop into a star in the Premier League, and joining clubs like Arsenal or Liverpool could be attractive for him. It would be a huge step up for him, and he would get to compete at the highest level with them.

However, it is unlikely that any club would be willing to pay in excess of £100 million for him this summer. Therefore, any move might have to wait for the future.

A supercomputer has predicted how the Premier League finale will play out, forecasting one of the most dramatic conclusions in the history of English football.

With only weeks remaining in the 2025/26 campaign, the data suggests the title race will be decided not by points, but by the thinnest of margins.

The latest simulation from FindSisterSites (via The Sun) has processed thousands of variables to map out the final standings, and the results point toward a photo finish between the two heavyweights of the modern era: Mikel Arteta’s Arsenal and Pep Guardiola’s Manchester City.

Arsenal predicted to win the Premier League by just one goal

In a scenario that would mirror the legendary 1989 finale, the Gunners are tipped to clinch their second title in three years by a single goal.

According to the supercomputer, both Arsenal and Manchester City are expected to finish the season level on 83 points.

However, the North London side is projected to edge out the Cityzens with a goal difference of +45, compared to City’s +44.

For this nerve-wracking outcome to manifest, the model predicts Arsenal will win two and draw one of their final three fixtures.

Meanwhile, Manchester City are expected to take maximum points from their remaining four matches, including their crucial game in hand.

Such a result would represent the closest title race in Premier League history, eclipsing the famous “Agueroooo” moment of 2012.

Top 5 set with Liverpool and Aston Villa expected to grab final spots

While the title fight takes center stage, the race for elite European football is also reaching its conclusion.

Despite a season of significant ups and downs, Manchester United are backed to secure third place, continuing their impressive form under the Michael Carrick.

The supercomputer expects Liverpool and Aston Villa to round out the top five, claiming the final Champions League spots.

Arne Slot’s side is predicted to do just enough to claim the fourth spot while Unai Emery’s Villa, despite their dip in form are expected secure back-to-back seasons in Europe’s premier competition.

If these predictions hold true, the final day of the season will be less about the points on the board and more about every shot, save, and goal scored across the country.

Bayern Munich are wasting absolutely no time making their intentions clear ahead of the summer transfer window.

The German giants are looking to steal Arsenal and Liverpool target Anthony Gordon, who is attracting a lot of attention.

The Newcastle United attacker has been in the news recently with media speculation constantly linking him with a move away from St. James’ Park.

According to Sky Sports Germany journalist Florian Plettenberg, the German heavyweights have presented Newcastle winger Gordon with a concrete offer.

The Bavarian giants have put a massive five-year contract on the table, signaling a serious statement of intent.

Bayern Munich make approach for Gordon

While several top clubs have been circling the 25-year-old, Bayern’s serious approach has seemingly propelled them right to the front of the queue.

It is incredibly easy to see why Bayern are so desperate to secure Gordon’s signature.

The winger has just enjoyed a phenomenal individual campaign, particularly shining on the grandest stage with a staggering 10 goals in 12 Champions League appearances.

This elite European form has fully convinced Bayern manager Vincent Kompany, who has approved the move.

However, Bayern aren’t the only ones impressed with the England international.

Despite interest from other top clubs, FC Bayern have now presented Anthony #Gordon and his camp with concrete figures. Gordon could sign a five-year contract at Bayern.

The main issue remains an agreement with Newcastle – not with the player. Bayern have clear limits.… pic.twitter.com/u0iRXkmsBg

— Florian Plettenberg (@Plettigoal) May 5, 2026

Both Arsenal and Liverpool have heavily monitored the England international player and could join the race soon to sign the former Everton man.

Barcelona have also shown significant interest, with their sporting director, Deco, recently holding talks with Gordon’s representatives.

Newcastle United ready to demand premium fee

While convincing the player seems to be progressing smoothly for Bayern Munich, the ultimate hurdle remains the agreement with Newcastle United.

The Magpies are under very little pressure to sell, as Gordon is securely locked into a contract that runs until 2030. Consequently, the Premier League outfit is reportedly holding out for a massive fee in the region of £77 million.

Gordon himself hasn’t publicly demanded an exit, but the desire to consistently compete for major silverware and regular Champions League football is a massive draw for the attacker.

If Bayern can find a way to meet Newcastle’s lofty valuation, both Arsenal and Liverpool would lose the race to sign the attacker before even entering the race properly.

Bayern Munich mean business and they are wasting no time to secure the signature of Gordon.

As Arsenal prepare to host Atletico Madrid in the decisive second leg of their massive Champions League semi-final showdown at the Emirates, the tension in North London is high.

With the tie beautifully poised at 1-1 following their meeting in the Spanish capital last week, the stakes couldn’t possibly be higher.

While many fans and pundits are nervously biting their nails and sitting firmly on the fence, Liverpool legend Jamie Carragher has confidently backed Arsenal to beat the Spanish giants and qualify for their first Champions League final since 2006.

He is boldly predicting that Mikel Arteta’s men will punch their ticket to the grand finale.

For years, the narrative surrounding Arsenal in Europe was incredibly consistent, they were beautifully brilliant on the ball, but fragile when the going got tough.

Carragher backs Arsenal to qualify for UCL final

According to Carragher, that soft underbelly has been completely eradicated under Arteta.

The “big change” the pundit is raving about is Arsenal’s newfound, ruthless pragmatism.

Carragher said on The Gary Neville podcast: “I think Arsenal will get through.

“I think they’re a better team than Atletico Madrid. I don’t think Atletico are that good if I’m being honest.

“Even in the first leg, there was a 20-minute period when Atletico were on top but either side of that Arsenal were in control of the game.

“I think the big thing Arsenal have done in the last couple of games is put Declan Rice a little bit deeper and I think that’s had a big impact.

“I thought he played well against Atletico, showed real authority, and was excellent at the weekend against Fulham.

“I’ve been worried about that midfield, we’ve highlighted that a lot recently, but there’s been a little change there and it helped.”

Gunners have evolved under the leadership of Arteta

In the past, a naive Arsenal side might have completely lost their heads during the chaotic 1-1 draw at the Riyadh Air Metropolitano last week.

Instead, they matched Atletico’s intense physicality blow-for-blow.

Carragher argues that because Arsenal have finally learned how to suffer without collapsing, they are the favourites to go through.

Not to forget, the Gunners have home advantage in the second leg and they would be hoping that the support from their fans will act as a catalyst to push them through this difficult match.

As Carragher pointed out Rice’s change in position recently, Arteta would be hoping to see his midfielder put his best performance of the season in the club’s biggest match in a long time.

Champions League final in Budapest is the target for Arteta and his players and they have a great chance of making history, or at least continue the process of making history.

The post Carragher makes Arsenal favourites against Atletico, mentions reason behind his prediction appeared first on CaughtOffside.

The upcoming summer transfer window wouldn’t be complete without a massive tug-of-war over one of the world’s brightest young talents.

Right now, that spotlight is firmly locked onto 19-year-old Brazilian sensation Endrick.

According to TEAMtalk, Premier League heavyweights, specifically Arsenal and Chelsea, have recently made formal enquiries about the striker’s availability.

But if the Gunners were hoping to pull off a sensational summer heist to bolster their attack, they are completely out of luck.

Real Madrid have made their stance crystal clear: Endrick is absolutely not for sale.

After struggling to find regular minutes under former Real Madrid manager Xabi Alonso during the first half of the campaign, the teenager actively pushed for a temporary move and joined Lyon in the winter window.

Endrick has revived his career in France

Since arriving at Lyon on loan in January, he has been absolutely electric. By racking up seven goals and seven assists in just 18 appearances across all competitions, Endrick has completely reignited the massive hype surrounding his long-term potential.

That kind of elite, explosive production is exactly why Mikel Arteta’s title-chasing Arsenal viewed him as a perfect, high-upside fit for their squad.

Despite the massive financial pull of the English top flight, Real Madrid are ruthlessly slamming the door shut.

Sources confirm that the Spanish giants have directly informed both Arsenal and Chelsea that the Brazilian will be returning to the Bernabeu, as he is firmly part of their first-team plans for next season.

Club president Florentino Perez still fiercely maintains his belief that Madrid signed the absolute best young player in world football, effectively turning any potential exit into a total non-starter.

Perhaps the biggest hurdle for Arsenal is the player himself. Even if Madrid were somehow willing to negotiate, Endrick is completely eager to stay and fight for his place in the Spanish capital.

He genuinely believes that proving himself on the grandest stage with Los Blancos is the best way to secure his international future, and he wants at least one more solid opportunity to establish himself as a regular.

Real Madrid are simply not in the business of losing control over their most prized young assets.

If the Gunners want to add some serious firepower to their attacking lines this summer, they will have to cross Endrick’s name off their wishlist and quickly move on to more realistic targets.

Report: Liverpool & Arsenal on alert as 19 G/A attacker could soon become available

The post Not for sale: 19-year-old has no chance of leaving European giants to join Arsenal appeared first on CaughtOffside.

Liverpool and Arsenal could be involved in a transfer battle this summer to sign one of the most wanted attackers in world football.

Bradley Barcola could be one of the more intriguing names to watch this summer, with Liverpool and Arsenal both reportedly keeping close tabs on the Paris Saint-Germain forward.

According to TEAMtalk, there are early signs that the 23-year-old’s camp is exploring potential opportunities, even though his contract in Paris still runs until 2028.

While PSG are not actively pushing him out, the situation appears fluid and that has alerted several top clubs.

With both Liverpool and Arsenal looking to strengthen their attacking options ahead of next season, Barcola’s profile makes him an attractive target if he becomes available.

Barcola is drawing interest from Liverpool and Arsenal

Barcola has quietly put together a solid campaign, registering 12 goals and seven assists across all competitions.

Those numbers reflect a player who is growing into his role at one of Europe’s biggest clubs, even if he isn’t always the headline name in PSG’s star-studded attack.

What makes Barcola particularly appealing is his versatility. Comfortable playing on either wing, he combines pace with direct dribbling and a willingness to take on defenders, qualities that are highly valued in the Premier League.

Liverpool’s interest is closely linked to long-term planning in their attack. With ongoing uncertainty surrounding Mohamed Salah’s future, the club is believed to be assessing potential replacements who can grow into a leading role.

Barcola’s age and skill set fit that profile, offering both immediate contribution and long-term development potential.

Arsenal, meanwhile, are continuing to build depth in their forward line. Mikel Arteta has emphasized the need for rotation and competition across attacking positions, especially with the club competing on multiple fronts.

PSG’s stance remains key to how this situation develops. Reports suggest the club are constantly evaluating their squad structure, particularly as they balance experienced stars with emerging talent.

If Barcola feels his role could be limited or if PSG receive a strong offer, the door to a transfer could open.

If the Ligue 1 giants decide to listen to offers, this could quickly turn into a competitive transfer race and one that might shape the attacking options of two Premier League giants heading into next season.

If there were any lingering doubts about Arsenal’s title credentials, Saturday night at the Emirates Stadium firmly put them to bed.

Mikel Arteta’s squad delivered an absolute masterclass, completely dismantling Fulham in a dominant 3-0 victory.

The win was a massive statement, keeping the Gunners right at the summit of the Premier League with 76 points and establishing a crucial six-point gap over a relentless Manchester City side.

While striker Viktor Gyökeres secured an impressive brace with goals on either side of the half-time break, it was Bukayo Saka’s fine strike that truly captured everyone’s attention.

The sheer quality of Saka’s performance certainly didn’t go unnoticed.

Gary Neville praises Arsenal star Bukayo Saka

Speaking on on NBC Sports, Manchester United legend Gary Neville was quick to dish out the plaudits.

While Neville has occasionally been critical of Arsenal’s attacking fluidity this season, he couldn’t help but rave about the winger’s top-class impact and backed the team for Premier League glory.

He said: “They looked like they had a little bit of something back with Saka on that right-hand side. Madueke’s a very good player, but Saka’s top-class. It was a very day for Arsenal. They have got to wait and watch Manchester City.”

Neville observed that while Arteta will naturally be thrilled with the comfortable three points, the demanding manager might actually be slightly frustrated that they didn’t score even more to pad their crucial goal difference.

“He will be pleased with the victory and must remind the players to capitalize on their opportunities and be clinical and ruthless,” Neville said.

For Arsenal fans, the stakes are almost unbearably high.

It has been an agonising 22 years since the club last lifted the Premier League trophy, and they are desperate to avoid the heartbreak of finishing as runners-up for a third consecutive season.

The pressure is now firmly shifted back onto Pep Guardiola’s Manchester City, who currently hold two games in hand to close that daunting six-point gap.

Their first test is a tricky Monday night trip to Everton.

With Gyökeres banging in the goals and Saka terrorising fullbacks on the right wing, the Gunners possess all the necessary firepower to cross the finish line.

‘Might leave..’ – Ex-player names Arsenal star destined for summer exit

The post Neville praises ‘top-class’ Arsenal player who was on top of his game against Fulham appeared first on CaughtOffside.

As the season approaches its dramatic conclusion this May, the tension around North London isn’t just about the Premier League title race.

While Mikel Arteta remains hyper-focused on the pitch, Arsenal legend Ray Parlour has dropped a massive truth bomb about the makeup of the squad heading into next season.

The “Romford Pele” has publicly predicted that Gabriel Jesus is edging incredibly close to the exit door, perfectly coinciding with wild reports that the Gunners could sensationally transfer-list four other first-team players.

Jesus’ time at Arsenal has been a bit of a rollercoaster. When he first arrived, he completely transformed the Gunners’ frontline with his relentless pressing and chaotic energy.

However, fast forward to today, and his starting spot is no longer fully guaranteed.

Parlour tips Jesus to leave Arsenal

According to Parlour’s comments, as reported by Metro, the Brazilian striker’s sheer desire for guaranteed minutes will likely push him away this summer.

“I think Jesus might leave at the end of the season, he is at that age where he wants to be playing week in, week out,” Parlour explained.

The Arsenal icon pointed out that modern squads need serious depth, recalling his own playing days: “We had four strikers when I played. That is what I don’t understand. [Regardless of Jesus leaving], bring in another one anyway”.

Parlour firmly believes that fresh attacking blood would raise the competitive standards across the entire dressing room.

But Jesus might not be the only massive name clearing out his locker. To fund their highly ambitious summer targets, specifically, making a permanent swoop for standout defender Piero Hincapie, Arsenal reportedly need to generate serious cash.

Gunners could make major changes in the summer

Reports have emerged suggesting that four massive players have been incredibly placed on the chopping block, Gabriel Martinelli, Ben White, Ethan Nwaneri, and Myles Lewis-Skelly.

Selling established superstars like Martinelli or White feels utterly unthinkable given their immense contributions under Arteta.

Throwing generational academy talents like Nwaneri and Lewis-Skelly into the mix does not make sense either.

However, the harsh financial reality of the Premier League means that no player is truly untouchable if a massive bid arrives to help fund defensive reinforcements.

If Parlour’s instincts are right, Arsenal are staring down the barrel of a wildly transformative summer transfer window.

English defender is convinced he is joining Arsenal in the summer – report 

The post ‘Might leave..’ – Ex-player names Arsenal star destined for summer exit appeared first on CaughtOffside.

Several players are being linked with a move to Arsenal with Mikel Arteta determined to strengthen his squad in the summer transfer window.

The 23-year-old Newcastle United defender is actively telling people he is entirely convinced he will be pulling on the famous red and white shirt of Arsenal next season, according to a source on X.

To fully understand exactly why Livramento is so confident about a move to the capital, you have to look closely at Arteta’s defensive puzzle.

Arsenal currently have Jurrien Timber, who is reportedly close to putting pen to paper on a long-term contract extension and Ben White holding down the right flank.

However, sporting director Andrea Berta is running a broad, relentless recruitment process when it comes to squad depth.

Livramento’s explosive pace and versatility to seamlessly operate on both the right and left sides of the defense make him an incredibly appealing target for Arteta’s fluid system.

Prying him away from St. James’ Park won’t be cheap, though. Reports indicate Newcastle are prepared to hold out for a massive £70 million valuation for the young England international.

Dropping that kind of astronomical cash on a player is a massive gamble, especially considering Livramento has endured a highly frustrating season plagued by tricky groin injuries that have sidelined him for over 30 games.

Furthermore, Manchester City are also reportedly hovering in the background, fully prepared to launch an offer of their own and spark a potential bidding war.

Would Newcastle consider selling Livramento?

From Newcastle’s perspective, this potential mega-deal is heavily driven by pure financial pragmatism.

Just like the ongoing transfer rumors surrounding his teammate Anthony Gordon, the Magpies are feeling the suffocating pressure of the Premier League’s financial regulations.

While they desperately want to keep their prize assets, selling a highly-rated star like Livramento for a premium fee could give Eddie Howe the crucial financial flexibility needed to bring in necessary defensive reinforcements and properly balance the books.

As for the Gunners, it could give them a versatile full-back who is known for his attacking contributions as well.
