However, while the 33-year-old wants to leave on a free transfer due to a clause which has been present in his contract, that option expired on June 10, putting Barcelona in a stronger position at the negotiating table.Nevertheless, keen to avoid losing the club legend for nothing in 2021, AS claims that the Catalan giants are willing to accept £200 million for the Argentina international.Despite Messi now closing in on veteran status, that valuation will likely attract interest from a number of top European clubs, including Manchester City and Paris Saint-Germain.Inter Milan and Manchester United are also being tipped to involve themselves in the race for the attacker’s signature.Tags: Inter MilanLionel MessiManchester CityManchester UnitedParis Saint-Germain
“I’ve won three majors in my career but taking the Ryder Cup captaincy is a different level,” he said.“I want to find an edge to get the players to perform to best of their abilities and hopefully get a win.“I’m really conscious that I have to find the edge and add to it. It’s going to take a great deal of my time over the next two years to do it.”Players including Rory McIlroy and Justin Rose backed Harrington to lead Europe at Whistling Straits, Wisconsin.Harrington, who won the Open Championship in 2007 and 2008 and the US PGA Championship in 2008, has experience of the course, although he missed the cut when the PGA Championship was played there in 2010 and 2015.The likes of former world number ones Luke Donald and Lee Westwood were mooted as potential captains, though Westwood – who was also a vice-captain under Bjorn – has indicated a preference for taking the role on at the 2022 event in Rome.“It seems to be a natural progression and it feels like the right time in my career,” added Harrington. “But just because it seems like the right time I didn’t think I should just come in and do it. I thought long and hard about it.“It’s possibly easier to be Ryder Cup captain at home, but I realise it was good timing in my career and probably the best chance for the team in an international setting, going to the US having me as captain at this time.“I have the support of the players, then it really came down to whether I wanted to be in the hat.“I’m putting it on the line – we know when you’re a successful Ryder Cup captain it’s great and a losing captain – it’s his fault.”Harrington, who is currently recovering from a broken wrist, becomes the second man from the Republic of Ireland to take on the captaincy, following Paul McGinley in 2014.After winning the trophy under McGinley, Europe were well beaten 17-11 under the captaincy of Northern Ireland’s Darren Clarke the last time it was contested in the US in 2016.But a resounding 17½-10½ success under Bjorn secured a seventh success for Europe in the last nine Ryder Cup events.The US are yet to name their next captain, with 1992 Masters champion Fred Couples and Steve Stricker – who was born in Wisconsin – among the leading candidates.Masterminding an away win in the Ryder Cup is one of golf’s toughest assignments. As Europe proved at Le Golf National and the US at Hazeltine, home advantage can make a huge difference.It makes sense, therefore, for the continent to turn to such a resourceful, committed and intelligent figure as Harrington. There was no one better qualified for leading Europe in their 2020 trophy defence.The three times major winner commands immense respect among his peers. He is a popular figure with US golf fans, has played all three PGA Championships at Whistling Straits and having served as vice-captain in the last three Ryder Cups is the ideal choice to succeed Thomas Bjorn.Share this:FacebookRedditTwitterPrintPinterestEmailWhatsAppSkypeLinkedInTumblrPocketTelegram Padraig Harrington will captain Europe when they defend the Ryder Cup at Whistling Straits in the US in 2020.The Irishman, 47, was a vice-captain when Europe won the trophy back under the leadership of Thomas Bjorn in France in September.Harrington played in six successive Ryder Cups from 1999 and was on the winning team on four occasions.
Nuggets guard Gary Harris is expected to miss three to four weeks as he recovers from a hip injury, according to ESPN, Harris reportedly underwent an MRI on Tuesday after he was injured in the first quarter of Monday’s victory over the Raptors. The 24-year-old guard had missed the team’s previous two games ago with an ankle injury. Harris is averaging 16.6 points, 3.2 rebounds and 2.9 assists in 21 games this season. “The one thing I feel awful about is Gary Harris,” Nuggets coach Michael Malone said earlier this week, via the Denver Post. “Definitely keep Gary in our thoughts. He’s frustrated, just getting back from an injury, and to have that, not be able to come back in tonight. We’ll see how severe the injury is and hopefully we can get him back really soon, but Gary’s such a big part of what we’re trying to do.”Guard Malik Beasley has stepped in during Harris’ absence, averaging 12.4 points and 3.4 rebounds over the past five games.
