We are working to help resolve the issues as soon as possible.” The account also recommends rebootinFree Bonus on Registrationg if the initial load doesn’t go beyond 90 percen…
Ryan Babel has had offers from several teams but says Galatasaray have made the most tempting proposal.
The Netherlands international is looking for a new club after being released by Fulham following their relegation from the Premier League in 2018-19.
The 32-year-old has been strongly linked with a return to the Turkish Super Lig, where he won the title with Besiktas in 2016-17.
Despite his past allegiances, Babel says he would have no problem in accepting a move to Galatasaray, although he is yet to decide his future.
They have the best offer at the moment. I don t have to make a secret of that, he told Algemeen Dagblad when asked about the rumours linking him with the Turkish champions.
But there are also discussions with other clubs.
Guidance on heading will be introduced to every level of English football for the 2021-22 campaign, the Football Association (FA) has announced.
The new heading guidance has been agreed between the relevant bodies and will be applicable from the Premier League down to grassroots football and across the England national teams.
The advice will not affect football matches or the rules of the game, but instead the heading that occurs in training sessions, where most heading is performed.
Based on multiple studies by the Professional Football Negotiating and Consultative Committee, the initial focus of the guidance involves high-force headers, which usually follow a long pass (more than 35 metres) or from crosses and set-pieces.
The headers branded high force …
Inter have sacked Claudio Ranieri as coach just six months after appointing him, the Serie A club announced on Monday.
The 60-year-old had been under intense pressure after a run of just one win in 10 matches left the club languishing in eighth place in the Serie A table, seven points shy of the European qualification places.
Youth team coach Andrea Stramaccioni will take charge on an interim basis, becoming the club s third manager of the season and fifth since Jose Mourinho departed for Real Madrid at the end of the 2009/10 season.
Ranieri was dismissed in the wake of Sunday s 2-0 defeat to Juventus, Inter s ninth reverse since the start of the year.
President Moratti and all of Inter would like to thank Claudio Ranieri and his staff for the professio…
Thomas Muller believes the quest to win another Champions League will keep Bayern Munich s motivation levels high this season.
Bayern are aiming to win a fifth consecutive Bundesliga title, having finished top of the pile domestically in each of Pep Guardiola s three seasons at the helm.
But Guardiola, who won the Champions League twice during his time with Barcelona, was unable to add Europe s top prize during a trophy laden spell, meaning his Bayern did not scale the heights of Jupp Heynckes 2012-13 treble winners.
The objectives are the same each year, Germany international Muller told a news conference. We want to win everything there is to win, which is not to be confused with the impression that everything is nothing other than the treble.

Eduardo Camavinga backed Kylian Mbappe to deal with the added pressure after Karim Benzema was ruled out of the World Cup for France.
Didier Deschamps side start their title defence in Qatar against Australia in Tuesday s Group D clash, but Les Bleus will do so without two key attacking figures.
Christopher Nkunku tore the lateral collateral ligament in his left knee after Tuesday s collision with Camavinga in training, before a thigh issue on Saturday for Benzema ruled the talisman out of the tournament.
France, who were already without Paul Pogba and N Golo Kante, still have a plethora of attacking options with Mbappe, Antoine Griezmann, Olivier Giroud and Ousmane Dembele the likely starting contenders.
Real Madrid midfielder Camavinga believes Mbappe w…
The agent of Napoli full-back Juan Camilo Zuniga claims that his client is wanted by a number of clubs outside Italy.
The Colombian international has two-years left on his deal at San Paolo and is regarded an important member of the starting line-up, but he was surprisingly linked with a summer exit.
It is no secret that Napoli are searching for a new left-back, which means they could decide to cash in on Zuniga.
Should the Azzurri decide to sell their prized asset, the experienced full-back would have no shortage of offers, his representative has revealed.
“You would have to ask the club if they have any plans to let go of him, but I can confirm that there is great interest in him from foreign clubs,” agent Riccardo Calleri said to Radio CRC.

Alvaro Pereira appears to be on his way out of Porto as Napoli are eager to add the wingback to their squad, according to reports.
The Serie A outfit were previously linked with Federico Balzaretti, but they have now turned their attention to the Uruguay international after missing out on the former Palermo man.
Pereira joined Porto from Cluj in 2009 and has since developed into one of the most sought after full-backs around in Europe.
The 26-year-old saw a move to Chelsea fall through last year as the Premier League giants refused to meet Porto s demands.
However, his agent Flavio Perchmen intimated earlier this month that Pereira could be on the move this summer.
According to Corriere dello Sport, Napoli are supposedly willing to pay a transfer…
Suspended UEFA president Michel Platini insists he is still the right man to lead FIFA.
Platini is suspended for 90 days as FIFA s Ethics Committee investigate a payment he received from the embattled governing body in 2011.
Despite that, the Frenchman remains one of the seven candidates standing in the presidential election on February 26 next year and the 60-year-old believes he is still right for the role.
I am, in all humility, the most able to run world football, he told The Telegraph.
Platini also explained the payment that is being investigated, saying the £1.35million was for work he did for FIFA president Sepp Blatter – albeit coming nine years after it was undertaken.
The two million [Swiss Francs] represents the equivalent of fo…
Former Bayern Munich stalwart Oliver Kahn believes Germany international Manuel Neuer has taken goalkeeping to a new level with his style of play.
The signing of Neuer was greeted with disapproval from some Bayern fans upon his arrival at the club from traditional rivals Schalke in 2011.
He has answered any doubters in emphatic fashion during the subsequent four years, winning the Bundesliga three times, as well as the DFB-Pokal, the Champions League and the World Cup with his country.
Neuer is now widely regarded as one of the world s best shot-stoppers, with Kahn not the first observer to remark on the 29-year-old s distinctive willingness to leave the box.
Manuel is a sweeper-keeper who has taken the game to a new level, always takes plenty of ris…
