Trent Alexander-Arnold Not In Contention To Buy French Club Despite Reports—-Reports in France claims that Liverpool and England defender Trent Alexander-Arnold was involved in a bid to buy Ligue 1 side Nantes in a blockbuster $100million deal have been refuted.

Trent Alexander-Arnold is not in the running to buy Ligue 1 side Nantes despite reports linking him with a $100m bid – it’s been claimed.

On Thursday evening, news emerged the Reds right-back was reportedly interested in buying the French top flight team. L’Equipe reported conversations had been held with Alexander-Arnold’s father, who manages his son via a London-based investment fund, over a potential takeover, though a deal “looks complicated’.

However, those claims have now been refuted. The Athletic’s James Pearce reports Liverpool’s right-back is not in the running to own the Ligue 1 side. Pearce wrote on X in response to the initial story from L’Equipe: “Told this is not true.”

The 25-year-old is already a minority shareholder of French Formula 1 team Alpine alongside Rory McIlroy, Anthony Joshua and Wrexham co-owners Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney. Nantes, who are currently captained by former Liverpool midfielder Pedro Chirivella, is currently owned by Polish businessman Waldemar Kita.

Kita, who has owned Nantes since 2007, is reportedly looking to sell up due to a number of issues, one of which is Ligue 1’s inability to land a lucrative TV deal. Additionally, he has been unable to build the club a new stadium.

SC Freiburg Make History with Dominant Win Over Celta Vigo to Reach Europa League Semis—-Freiburg booked a historic place in the UEFA Europa League semi-finals for the first time after a commanding 3-1 win over Celta Vigo, sealing a 6-1 aggregate triumph.

Julian Schuster’s side, who carried a 3-0 advantage from the first leg in Germany, finished the job in style away from home with goals from Igor Matanović and a brace by Yuito Suzuki.

Freiburg effectively ended the contest before half-time, scoring twice in quick succession. Matanović opened the scoring in the 33rd minute with a powerful volley after a clever build-up involving Matthias Ginter and Jordy Makengo.

Suzuki doubled the lead six minutes later, combining neatly with Jan-Niklas Beste before finishing calmly. The Japanese midfielder added his second early in the second half, converting from close range after a flowing team move set up by Vincenzo Grifo.

Celta Vigo managed a late consolation through Williot Swedberg, but it did little to change the outcome as Freiburg cruised through.

Having already broken new ground by reaching the quarter-finals, Freiburg now advance to their first-ever European semi-final, where they will face either Real Betis or Sporting Braga.

Ousmane Dembélé Hits Brace as Paris Saint-Germain Knock Out Liverpool from UCL

Ousmane Dembélé Hits Brace as Paris Saint-Germain Knock Out Liverpool from UCL—-Ousmane Dembélé starred with a brace as Paris Saint-Germain secured a 2-0 victory over Liverpool at Anfield, sealing a dominant 4-0 aggregate win to reach the UEFA Champions League semi-finals.

The French forward proved decisive on the night, scoring twice to end Liverpool’s European campaign and send the defending champions into the last four for a third consecutive season.

Liverpool’s night was further marred by a serious injury to Hugo Ekitiké, who was forced off in the first half with what appeared to be a severe leg issue, raising concerns over his availability for the remainder of the season.

Manager Arne Slot made bold selection calls, leaving Mohamed Salah on the bench initially, though the forward was introduced early following Ekitiké’s injury and nearly made an instant impact.

Despite flashes of pressure from Liverpool, PSG remained composed and dangerous on the counter. Dembélé broke the deadlock in the second half with a fine curling effort before adding a second in stoppage time from a Bradley Barcola assist.

Liverpool’s hopes of a comeback were also dashed when a penalty awarded for a challenge on Alexis Mac Allister was overturned following a VAR review.

The defeat confirms a disappointing end to Liverpool’s European campaign, while PSG continue their title defence and will face either Bayern Munich or Real Madrid in the semi-finals.
