Bournemouth football club shows interest in signing Super Eagles Goalkeeper, Maduka Okoye. The player is currently signed with Udinese.

The goalkeeper has secured an impressive record and gathered the interest of many clubs such as Serie A. Okoye has now captured the interest of Bournemouth with his impressive play.

It has been reported that the player still has three years left on his contract with Udinese.

Manchester United legend Wayne Rooney has heaped praise on Marcus Rashford following his standout performance for Aston Villa in their dramatic Champions League clash against Paris Saint-Germain.

Rashford, currently on loan from United, played a key role as Villa overturned a two-goal deficit to beat PSG 3-2 at Villa Park on Tuesday night. Despite the win, the Premier League side fell short of a semi-final spot, having lost the first leg 3-1 in Paris, which saw the French giants progress on a 5-4 aggregate.

Rooney, speaking after the game, was full of admiration for Rashford’s display. He described the England international as electric on the night and urged him to bring that same energy back to Old Trafford when his loan spell ends.

“Villa came alive, PSG looked shaken, and Rashford was at the heart of it,” Rooney said. “That was the Rashford we all know—taking players on, showing his skills, creating chances.”

He highlighted Rashford’s awareness and creativity during the match, particularly in setting up key moments that sparked belief among the Villa squad and fans.

Rooney wrapped up his comments by expressing hope that Rashford can rediscover that same form in a United shirt, saying, “If he plays like this at Old Trafford, he’ll be unstoppable.”

Cristiano Ronaldo is set to continue his journey with Al Nassr as he reportedly agrees to a fresh contract extension that could keep him at the Saudi club until at least 2026.

The new deal, which includes an optional second year based on performance and preference, lines up with the football legend’s goal of representing Portugal at the 2026 World Cup in the US, Canada, and Mexico.

Though talks have been ongoing for months—initially expected to wrap up early in the year—the unique structure of the agreement caused some delay.

Unlike a standard football contract, this extension is said to include major commercial, ambassadorial, and developmental roles for Ronaldo, making it more than just a player deal.

Sources say the new contract could be worth up to €200 million per year, reflecting Ronaldo’s massive influence both on and off the pitch.
