A informação do interesse e negociação foi divulgada inicialmente pelo jornalista Jorge Nicola e confirmada pelo LANCE!.
Segundo informações obtidas pela reportagem, o Timão não tratava a contratação do jogador como prioridade, por conta das questões burocráticas envolvendo jogadores vindo do futebol russo e ucraniano, e também tinha uma ressalva por conta da parte física, já que Junior passou por uma cirurgia de reconstrução do ligamento cruzado do joelho direito no ano passado, tendo, inclusive, feito parte da recuperação nas dependências corintianas e profissionais que atuam no clube, como o fisioterapeuta Luciano Rosa.
O interesse aumentou após o aval do técnico Vítor Pereira pelo jogador.
A diretoria corintiana está em busca de um centroavante desde o fim do ano passado. Um camisa 9 de peso foi prioridade do clube até a demissão do técnico Sylvinho, no dia 2 de fevereiro, quando o foco se tornou o novo treinador.
Com a contratação de Vítor Pereira, há duas semanas, a pauta voltou a tona no Corinthians, mas ainda a passos lentos, já que a principal investidora no projeto de contratação de um centroavante, o Grupo Taunsa, sonhava com nomes internacionais, como os uruguaios Edinson Cavani e Luís Suárez, que estão em fim de contrato com Manchester United, da Inglaterra, e Atlético de Madrid, da Espanha, respectivamente.
Cavani chegou a demonstrar interesse, mas só no segundo semestre, o que não compensa ao Timão que estará em disputa da Copa Libertadores, já Suárez não quer atuar no futebol sul-americano neste momento.
Diego Costa foi outra opção, mas o desejo de voltar a Europa inicialmente afastaram o atacante, que se desligou do Atlético-MG no início do ano, do Corinthians. Sem mercado no Velho Continente, Diego voltou a se aproximar do Alvinegro do Parque São Jorge nos últimos dias, mas a diretoria corintiana não se animou.
Ainda que já converse com o estafe do Júnior Moraes, o Timão sabe que terá concorrência no mercado internacional. Clubes da Estados Unidos, Croácia e Itália.
Amid the striker’s struggles to adapt to life in the Premier League, Ruben Amorim is reportedly willing to ditch Joshua Zirkzee in a sensational swap deal to sign an instant upgrade for Manchester United.
Man Utd transfer news
It certainly seems as though Amorim is ready to make his mark. Becoming the latest in a long list of managers tasked with taking Manchester United back to the top of English football for the first time since Sir Alex Ferguson’s final season, the former Sporting Club boss is the first that will benefit from a new structure at Old Trafford, which includes sporting director Dan Ashworth.
With that structure, the Red Devils should be far better positioned to get things right in the transfer market rather than signing any Antony repeats when 2025 arrives. The rumours have taken no time to get going since Amorim’s arrival, either, with Harry Kane and Leroy Sane already linked to Old Trafford.
Man Utd must regret selling "monster" who is outscoring Hojlund & Zirkzee
The impressive international is loving life away from Man Utd.

It’s no surprise that Manchester United have been linked with high-quality attacking reinforcements, given how summer signing Zirkzee has struggled. Now, after scoring one goal in 17 appearances, the Dutchman could already be heading for the exit door.
According to reporter Gerardo Fasano, via Area Napoli, Amorim is now willing to ditch Zirkzee in a swap deal to sign Victor Osimhen. In a player-plus-cash deal, Zirkzee would head back to the Serie A and Manchester United would be getting the ultimate answer to their attacking problems.
Frozen out at Napoli after failing to seal a move to either Saudi Arabia or Chelsea, Osimhen was left with no choice but to head out on loan to Galatasaray in the summer but has thrived ever since. Seemingly destined to complete a permanent departure away from Napoli next summer, Manchester United could now complete the deal that Chelsea previously failed to get over the line.
"Fantastic" Osimhen would be ultimate upgrade on Zirkzee
Whilst Zirzee has struggled for goals at Manchester United, Osimhen has been back to his best at Galatasaray with eight goals and four assists in just nine games highlighting just how clinical the Nigerian has been in Turkey. He’s a player who belongs at the very top and Manchester United are a club attempting to reach exactly that. If Amorim wants to solve the Red Devils’ attacking issues then Osimhen is the answer.
The £160,000-a-week star has earned plenty of praise during his time in Turkey, including from Fenerbahce manager Jose Mourinho, who put his loyalties to one side to say via the Evening Standard: “Of course, he comes in different circumstances but in the end the circumstances don’t matter.
“What matters is Galatasaray got an absolutely fantastic player. I don’t have problems with Victor. In fact, we have a very good relationship.”
What cannot be ignored amid such rumours, however, is how much of a failure Manchester United’s Zirkzee deal could become so quickly. It would not reflect well on Ashworth or INEOS if one of their first signings headed for the exit door just one year on from arriving.
The Argentine missed a gaping opportunity to score as his wait for a first league goal or assist since November drags on and on
Manchester United were let down by static defending and toothless attacking as they were beaten 1-0 by Tottenham on Sunday, a result that sees them slide all the way down to 15th in the Premier League table, putting them on track for their worst finish since being relegated in 1974. James Maddison struck the only goal of the game in the 13th minute, although United did not struggle to create chances. They did, however, look incapable of scoring them, with Alejandro Garnacho the biggest culprit while Rasmus Hojlund again failed to score.
Ruben Amorim's side could hardly have been in worse shape before the game. They were already reeling from the news that Amad Diallo had been ruled out for the season with an ankle injury and that Kobbie Mainoo had suffered a muscular injury before they then had to travel to London by coach due to train problems, while upon their arrival, Amorim revealed that Christian Eriksen and Leny Yoro were ill while Manuel Ugarte and Toby Collyer were injured. It meant that Casemiro was given his first league start in over six weeks and that eight out of United's nine substitutes had never played a minute of senior football for the club.
The Red Devils had their moments early on in the first half but fell behind for the 10th time in 12th league games as Maddison was not picked up by a static defence and was left free to pounce on the rebound in the 13th minute after Andre Onana could only parry Lucas Bergvall's effort. Garnacho missed an absolute sitter to equalise as he blazed over the bar while Joshua Zirkzee miscued from a free header after the break.

Goalkeeper & Defence
Andre Onana (5/10):
Should have tipped Bergvall's shot wider rather than at the feet of Maddison. Equal to the other four efforts he faced. A sloppy throw-out almost got United in deeper trouble late on.
Noussair Mazraoui (6/10):
Decent defensively and his cross to Zirkzee deserved better.
Harry Maguire (6/10):
A little slow for the goal but otherwise held the defence together and showed his authority in the air.
Matthijs de Ligt (4/10):
Statuesque for the goal, failing to sense the danger Maddison presented and not reacting quick enough to Onana's spill.

Midfield
Diogo Dalot (5/10):
Struggled against Son while he should have done better with his two chances down the other end, particularly his follow-up to Vicario saving from Garnacho.
Casemiro (4/10):
Too passive in the build-up to Spurs' goal while his general lumbering performance underlined why Amorim doesn't usually trust him.
Bruno Fernandes (5/10):
His high positioning left Casemiro with a lot to do, although he was United's creative engine and his pass to Garnacho deserved better.
Patrick Dorgu (5/10):
Looked more comfortable on the left than in his debut vs Leicester on the right. Created a good chance for Casemiro with a cross and missed the target with an over-zealous strike.

Attack
Alejandro Garnacho (5/10):
Missed an absolute sitter despite having everything in his favour. He did at least keep going and was United's main threat, but he has now not scored or providd an assist in the league since November.
Rasmus Hojlund (4/10):
Didn't attack crosses while having the fewest touches and fewest passes of any player in the first half. Botched decent chances in either half.
Joshua Zirkzee (6/10):
Was tidy on the ball and was involved in United's brightest spells.

Chelsea managed their second win in a row under Enzo Maresca, beating West Ham 3-0 at the London Stadium, winning for the first time there since 2021.
Maresca’s men kept their second clean sheet in consecutive games too. After struggling to keep the ball out of the net last campaign, this will be a very welcome sight for Chelsea fans, as the likes of Levi Colwill, Wesley Fofana and Marc Cucurella continue to build consistency.
Nicolas Jackson scored a first-half brace to put the Blues 2-0 up at half-time, before also setting up Cole Palmer just minutes after the break, giving Chelsea a 3-0 lead and a comfortable rest of the afternoon.
Jackson & Palmer's performance in numbers
Jackson has started the season in red-hot form, scoring four goals in his opening five Premier League games, and also providing two assists for the Blues.
Palmer, on the other hand, has started the new campaign as more of a playmaker for Maresca’s side, but that hasn’t stopped him from grabbing two goals to go along with his four assists.
Both players provided exquisite finishes, with Jackson applying a “trivela” (outside the foot) finish for his second goal, and Palmer smashing one in off the upright, for Chelsea’s third.
Alongside his three goal contributions, Jackson also made two key passes, had two big chances created, and had two shots blocked. Meanwhile, Palmer made one key pass, completed 2/3 long balls, created one big chance, and won 6/8 of his ground duels.
But despite these two Chelsea stars’ excellent performances, there is another man who was as important, if not even more important.
Levi Colwill's game in numbers
Colwill put in another formidable performance in central defence, scoring an excellent 8/10 rating from GOAL. The defender made a whopping eight clearances, won 50% of his aerials duels, completed one key pass, two of three long balls, and managed an 89% pass accuracy.
To rubberstamp the defender’s important, the England international had 74 touches in the game, which is more than Jackson (30), and Palmer (31) combined.
Colwill is evidently pivotal for Maresca’s side, especially when it comes to breaking the lines with his passing, often kickstarting Chelsea’s attacks with incisive passes into the midfield.

Stats taken from FBref
Often averaging the most touches for Chelsea, and orchestrating play from the back, Colwill makes 4.40 progressive passes per 90. This is a key feature in his game, and something that is very important to the new Blues boss, as he looks to maintain possession, looking for the right opening before firing a pass into the midfield, or even directly into the forward line.
Colwill’s passing ability is arguably his best quality, with a limitless range, and an array of techniques, showcasing his quality on the ball. But the 21-year-old is also imperious at the back, averaging 2.20 aerials won per 90, and 1.11 interceptions.
Colwill has had a superb start to the season and is becoming one of the first names on the teamsheet for Maresca’s Chelsea side, as the Blues’ defensive record continues to improve.

Leeds United have a chance to return to winning ways in the Championship as they travel away from Yorkshire for a game against Cardiff City in Wales on Saturday.
The Whites are looking to bounce back from their disappointing 1-0 defeat to Burnley at Elland Road last time out, after Luca Koleosho’s first-half strike secured all three points for the visitors.
Daniel Farke’s side were unbeaten in the second tier prior to that defeat to Scott Parker’s side, having drawn two and won two of their first four matches, and will not want to make losing a habit.
That is why the West Yorkshire outfit should be aiming to bounce back immediately by claiming all three points against Cardiff in Wales this weekend.
In order to come away with the win, the German head coach may look to make some changes to his starting XI from the defeat to Burnley and here is FFC’s predicted line-up to take to the field on Saturday.
1 GK – Illan Meslier
Illan Meslier had little chance of stopping Koleosho’s clinical strike into the bottom corner last time out and should keep his place between the sticks.
He has conceded 1.05 more goals than expected based on the xG faced in his five Championship matches, though, and this suggests that the Frenchman could do with sharpening up his shot-stopping skills.
2 RB – Jayden Bogle
Jayden Bogle could keep his place in the starting XI at right-back but he is now facing competition for his place following the arrival of Isaac Schmidt, who can play on the right or the left, at the end of the summer transfer window.
The former Sheffield United man did not enjoy the best afternoon against the Clarets, as he lost two of his three ground duels and only completed 78% of his attempted passes, whilst not creating any chances for his teammates.
If the English defender continues to struggle like that in matches for Leeds then Farke may have a decision to make over his position in the side.
3 CB – Joe Rodon
Joe Rodon has missed two training sessions with the squad this week, due to a glute issue, but is expected to be available for selection on Saturday.
The Wales international has not been at his rock solid best, losing 75% of his ground duels in the Championship so far, but has still helped his team to keep three clean sheets in five matches.
4 CB – Pascal Struijk
Alongside the former Tottenham Hotspur man, Farke could stick with left-footed colossus Pascal Struijk to offer balance on the left side of the defence.
The Dutch ace won six of his eight duels against Burnley and his dominant defending may be needed if Rodon continues to struggle with physical duels.
5 LB – Junior Firpo
Junior Firpo is another player who has been ‘struggling’ with an injury issue, due to a ligament problem, but he – like Rodon – is also expected to be fit to feature.
The former Barcelona man is the only naturally left-footed left-back option for Farke, which means that his inclusion helps to maintain a balanced defence when playing out from the back.
6 CM – Ao Tanaka
The first change to the starting XI could come in the central midfield position with Ilia Gruev left out in order to bring Ao Tanaka in for his full debut.
This may seem harsh on the Bulgarian whiz, who created three chances against Burnley, but the distinct lack of goal threat throughout the Leeds team was evident, as they failed to score.
Gruev has scored one goal in the Championship, including the play-offs, since the start of last season, which illustrates his lack of quality in the final third.
Whereas, the Japanese maestro scored seven goals in 24 starts in the 2. Bundesliga during the 2023/24 campaign, and this suggests that he could come in and provide the Whites with a greater threat in front of goal.
7 CM – Ethan Ampadu
Alongside the former Fortuna Dusseldorf star, Ethan Ampadu should retain his place in the side to provide a defensive presence in the middle of the park.
The Leeds captain has won 70% of his duels, averaging 4.0 tackles and interceptions combined per game, in the Championship so far this season, which shows that he can dominate opposition attackers.
8 RW – Brenden Aaronson
Wilfried Gnonto started on the right flank for the Whites in the 1-0 defeat to Burnley last weekend and endured a poor afternoon at Elland Road.
The Italy U21 international missed a ‘big chance’, firing straight at James Trafford from close range, and did not create a single chance for his teammates.
Farke must now ditch the former Inter prospect from the starting XI and move Aaronson, who created that ‘big chance’ for Gnonto with a superb through ball, into the right-sided attacking midfield position.
9 CAM – Joel Piroe
Aaronson playing on the right side of the attack frees up the number ten role and that could allow Joel Piroe a chance to stake a claim for more game time.
The Dutchman has only started one of the club’s five Championship matches so far, but did score off the bench against Hull, and this game could be an opportunity for him to show the manager that he deserves more starts.
10 LW – Largie Ramazani
Largie Ramazani
Another change to the starting XI could be an enforced one. Manor Solomon is a major doubt with a back injury and this could provide Largie Ramazani with his full Leeds debut.
The winger, once dubbed “explosive” by talent scout Jacek Kulig, produced three goals and five assists in LaLiga last season and will hopefully step up in Solomon’s potential absence to cause havoc down the left flank.
Fast bowler underwent three surgeries in the New Zealand winter to deal with a mole on her left foot
ESPNcricinfo staff19-Aug-2021Lea Tahuhu, the New Zealand fast bowler, worked through potentially serious health issues to make it to the squad that is currently touring England. Tahuhu underwent three surgeries in the New Zealand winter to deal with a mole on her left foot that was in a pre-cancerous state, reported.Tahuhu had touched upon the situation in an Instagram post on July 27, and now, from Derby where she is with the New Zealand squad, she told : “It got me to some low places. It was such a shock, all of it.”Tahuhu had the mole on her foot removed, but was then told it could be cancerous. Biopsies revealed she had caught it in time, but she also had to deal with a wound in a tricky spot and have a skin graft.”It [the mole] had been there for 18 months. It looked fine to start with and then it started growing slightly bigger and changed colour,” Tahuhu said. “I had the mole taken off, and all went well at that point. There’s not a lot of skin on the top of your foot that you can actually pull together, so it was left a bit open.”While at the hospital to get the skin graft to cover this wound, Tahuhu and her wife and team-mate Amy Satterthwaite first heard that the situation could be more serious than expected. “That morning then changed drastically, because it’s not often you get words such as ‘melanoma’ and ‘skin cancer’ thrown at you, that you certainly weren’t expecting,” Tahuhu said. “I sat there like a stunned mullet.”Related

Amelia Kerr opts out of England tour to prioritise mental health
Further testing revealed that the mole had been removed just in time, and the skin graft eventually followed, with skin transferred from her thigh to her foot. “What was supposed to be one local surgery and two weeks recovery, ended up being three surgeries and eight weeks later,” she says.The recovery process was mentally demanding, Tahuhu says, but she used the upcoming tour of England as motivation. “There were a few days where I thought, ‘How am I going to put ten times my body weight through my foot when I bowl? When at the moment I’ve just got a hole on the side of it.'”But then I thought, ‘No, I’m determined to get on that plane’, and I’m pretty diligent with what I have to get done to reach goals.”The tour of England includes three T20Is, starting on September 1, followed by five ODIs. Tahuhu is now focusing on building up to full match fitness ahead of these games. “It’s not as simple as being fit enough to run and to bowl again. It’s actually the stress you put on your body.”It’s all very scientific, and done in the background as to the loads you need to hit. And being monitored by GPS and making sure you’re hitting the right numbers, so nothing else in your body breaks down.”Tahuhu – and the New Zealand women’s team’s – last played in April this year, when New Zealand hosted Australia. In February Tahuhu had strained a hamstring, during England’s tour of New Zealand. She recovered in time to be selected for the home ODIs against Australia.
Zak Crawley hits quickfire 48 but Kent fall away in tall chase
ECB Reporters' Network15-Jun-2021Somerset earned their first Vitality Blast win of the season at the third attempt with a 47-run success against Kent Spitfires at the Cooper Associates County Ground, Taunton.Having been 53 for 3, the hosts did well to post 204 for 7, Tom Abell leading the way with 68 off 33 balls and 20-year-old Lewis Goldsworthy making a career-best 48. Grant Stewart claimed 3 for 33.Despite an impressive 48 off 23 deliveries from Zak Crawley, Kent never looked likely to reach their target and were bowled out for 157 in the 18th over, Marchant de Lange finishing with 3 for 18.Tom Banton’s disappointing start to the Blast continued after Somerset had been invited to bat, the opener caught at deep square off Stewart for 9 with the score on 33 in the fourth over. Will Smeed followed in the next over and when James Hildreth was caught at long-off for 27 to give Joe Denly his only wicket, Somerset looked to be heading for their third below-par total in three Blast games.Abell had other ideas, reverse sweeping Qais Ahmad for successive fours in the ninth over before unleashing sixes off Ahmad and Darren Stevens as the scoring rate accelerated.With Goldsworthy lending excellent support, Abell moved to his second Blast fifty of the season off 26 balls, with five fours and two sixes. He claimed another maximum off Stewart over deep square before falling in the same over, having added 90 with Goldsworthy off 45 balls.Goldsworthy hit Fredrick Klaassen for a straight six before Stewart had him caught at deep cover. He had faced 29 balls and hit six fours.Kent’s reply got off to a bad start when the fourth ball saw Daniel Bell-Drummond caught at backward point off Craig Overton. Denly fell to Josh Davey with the score on 14, but Crawley collected two sixes off Overton in the fifth over and the Powerplay finished with the Spitfires 56 for 2.Goldsworthy’s left-arm spin was greeted with a four and a six by Crawley as he and Sam Billings brought up a fifty stand in 27 balls. But the latter fell to a catch at wide long-on in the same over.Legspinner Max Waller bowled Crawley in his first over and followed up by having Jack Leaning stumped as Kent reached halfway at 89 for 5. With Goldsworthy showing great maturity to recover from conceding ten off his first two overs, Somerset controlled the middle of the innings. The youngster had figures of 1 for 30 at the end of his four-over stint.Stevens, Stewart and Ahmad all fell cheaply and Jordan Cox’s battling 33 was nowhere near sufficient to prevent a convincing Somerset win.
