INTER MIAMI will move for Kevin De Bruyne when he leaves Manchester City in the summer.

But a deal to MLS could be scuppered by ex-United winger Angel Di Maria – and Lionel Messi.

David Beckham’s club want a superstar signing and are interested in talking to free agent KDB, 33.

But Messi will try to persuade the owners to sign his Argentina team-mate winger Di Maria, 37, from Benfica.

Miami may only be able to afford one of them during the next window.

The club already have Messi, Sergio Busquets, Jordi Alba and Luis Suarez on their books.

Belgian midfielder KDB has been linked with clubs in Saudi Arabia and USA.

De Bruyne confirmed his exit from Man City last Friday with a heartfelt statement.

It read: “Dear Manchester. Seeing this, you’ll probably realise where this is heading.

“So I’ll get straight to it and let you know that these will be my final months as a Manchester City player.

“Nothing about this is easy to write, but as football players, we all know this day eventually comes.

“That day is here – and you deserve to hear it from me first. Football led me to all of you – and to this city.

“Chasing my dream, not knowing this period would change my life. This city, this club, these people… gave me EVERYTHING.

“I had no choice but to give EVERYTHING back! And guess what – we won EVERYTHING.

“Whether we like it or not, it’s time to say goodbye. Suri Rome, Mason, Michele and I are beyond grateful for what this place has meant to our family.

“Manchester will forever be home on our kids’ passports – and more importantly, in each of our hearts. This will always be our HOME.

“We cannot thank the city, club staff, team-mates, friends and family enough for this ten-year ride. Every story comes to an end, but this has definitely been the best chapter.”

Pep Guardiola revealed that he and the club made the decision not to renew the midfielder’s contract.

I’M A Celebrity star Lady Colin Campbell has revealed details about her “roaring affair” with an EastEnders icon.

The socialite, 75, spilled the beans on her rendezvous with actor Larry Lamb, who played Archie Mitchell on the BBC One soap.

The socialite and actor Larry dated in their 20s for six months[/caption]

Larry, who is also well know for his role as Mick Shipman on Gavin and Stacey, dated Lady C for six months in their 20s.

She gushed over his good looks and revealed exactly what her family thought of their romance.

“When I was 27 or 28, I had a roaring affair with Larry Lamb,” Lady C said.

“Larry is a great guy, he was gorgeous and is still good looking. He has impeccable manners.

“My cousin and my brother both agreed that daddy would have loved Larry.

“He was decent person, intelligent, hard working.”

But their romance was shortlived and the pair ended up splitting – with Lady C admitting she didn’t see things working out long-term.

“The fact he didn’t come from our world is neither here nor there. Larry, I used to say, is one of nature’s aristocrats,” she said on Best Magazine’s I Suddenly Single podcast.

“It quickly became apparent that Larry was not going to be an ideal husband for the long haul.”

The reality TV star admitted why dating is not on the cards for her.

She said: “I’m much too busy to be bothering with men. I don’t have the time for romance.  I don’t date. I refused to date after I left my husband. I’m not a seal jumping through a hoop in a bloody circus.”

“I made the decision [to be single] when the children were small and there would be suitors sniffing around.

“I thought I don’t want any man polluting my relationship with my children and flexing his muscles at their expense.”

The media personality admitted the last time she was in love was over 30 years.

She shared: “Last time I was in love? That would have been [with her ex who she was with for 15 years] in the 70s to the 90s.

“I saw him at Ascot about five years later and he said to me … ‘I have shown up every morning outside the Albert Memorial’ – that was where we used to go running.

“The most romantic thing he ever said – and Diana Wales used to say she envied me for having been told it – was ‘I would love you even if you were a goat’.

“Which I thought was so wonderfully romantic and so did she.”

In 2016, Lady C spilled the beans on her raunchy relationship with Larry.

Lady C, who dated the actor 38 years ago, said: “I like someone who is very bright, entertaining and fun at all times and in all locations.

“Larry was absolutely rampant, he was a very naughty boy.”

The TV personality, who starred in last year’s show Down Under, added to The Mirror: “He was gloriously attractive, pumping testosterone in all directions.”

Earlier this month, Lady C told ITV lunchtime show Loose Women she split from the former EastEnders actor when things started to get serious.

Presenter Nadia Sawalha then asked how they me and Lady C explained: “We met at the opening of the Ritz casino and he saw me across the room … As soon as I caught his eye, he caught mine more accurately, he came over and didn’t let go.

“Larry is lovely and he’s very intelligent and very focused so any way I came back from Jamaica we went to dinner. We dated for about six months.”

A POPULAR bakery chain is closing down all of its sites for good in just days.

Loaf MCR will serve its last customers on April 30, with owner Aiden Ryan admitting it suffered financial set backs which were “impossible to recover from”.

The bakery chain opened in lockdown and quickly grew in popularity[/caption]

The much-loved business has three branches across Greater Manchester and was originally created during the Covid pandemic to raise money for the NHS.

The concept was born out of Aiden and his partner making loaf cakes and topping them with their favourite treats, including Custard Creams, Jammie Dodgers, Biscoff Biscuits and pink wafers.

They started off in a shipping container on Pollard Yard in Ancoats.

But the product – alongside their brioche and croissant loaves, sandwiches, bagels and toasties, quickly became a hit.

Aiden was soon supplying cafes across the city as well as major retailers, including Ezra & Grill, Harvey Nichols and Selfridges.

The baker and former shop manager then open his own cafe at Affinity Living Riverview in Salford in 2022.

Another spot soon followed on Oxford Road, and then a concession stand at Selfridges in the Trafford Centre.

Announcing the closure today on social media, Aiden said he’d made the “incredibly tough decision” to close down.

BAKERY GIANT CLOSES STORE

The sad news about Loaf MCR comes after Greggs closed one of its 2,600 stores on March 31.

The closure of the branch on Fitzroy Street, Cambridge, meant staff were relocated to nearby sites.

Shoppers’ next nearest branch is now in Station Square just over a mile away.

The Cambridge store is not the first Greggs branch to shut this year.

A location in Amersham, Buckinghamshire, closed for good in January.

A Greggs shop on Foleshill Road, Coventry, shut its doors for the final time at the start of the year.

Despite these store closures the bakery chain is still eyeing up major expansion plans.

Meanwhile, a beloved family run bakery abruptly ceased trading, laying the blame on price increases.

Last month, Butter Wouldn’t Melt in Warrington, Cheshire told sweet-toothed fans that it will not be renewing its lease.

For years, the eatery has been serving up tasty cakes, brunches and lunches.

But the owners have devastated fans with a post uploaded to Instagram.

However, the bakery will still be taking online orders and urged locals to stay tuned for any future updates.

The unit was listed on Zoopla for £16,000 per annum.

THERE was a clue that show bosses might be planning a romance between Ella and Chris – but did you see it?

Fans reckon that Celebrity Big Brother and show bosses might be planning for sparks to fly between Ella Rae Wise and Chris Hughes.

Love Island star Chris, 32, and newly-single TOWIE star Ella, 24, could end up striking up a romance, if fans are right.

As Ella entered the house last night, fans were quick to spot how the camera panned to Chris straight away.

“Chris seeing Ella walk int he house. He’s going to go for her isn’t he?” speculated one person.

Another added: “The camera IMMEDIATELY panning to Chris when Ella walked in LMAO. They know what they’re doing.”

While a third said: “The way they put the camera straight on Chris when Ella came in. They want a showmance chile not suble at all.”

Later on in the evening, the duo were then seen sitting next to one another on the sofa.

The Essex beauty finally called time on her rocky relationship with co-star Dan Edgar as she prepared to enter the Celebrity Big Brother house, with her revealing her single status ahead of her entry. 

Speaking exclusively to The Sun, she confirmed the end of their 18 month relationship. 

Ella said: “We are not together. And it’s really, really sad that we’re not together. We split up a week ago. 

“It has nothing to do with Big Brother. It was a decision that I had to make because I didn’t feel that we were getting things that we wanted out of each other. 

“We can be best friends, but if something’s missing, what are we wasting our time for? 

“I just feel that he’s very set in his ways and I can’t change someone and I can’t expect someone to change either. 

“And if he’s comfortable in how he is and if he thinks what he gives in a relationship is enough, that’s okay because that can be enough for someone. 

“But it’s just not enough for me. 

“Look, he does do things that I think are so sweet, but there’s just something that’s missing. I don’t know what it is. 

“We can’t just be together because we have a great sex life, it’s got to be deeper than that.” 

Meanwhile, Chris is also single – but is he looking for love?

After leaving Love Island hand-in-hand in 2017, Chris was loved up with Olivia Attwood for a short while.

He went on to strike up a public relationship with Little Mix star Jesy Nelson.

Chris and Jesy dated from January 2019 until March 2020, with them parting ways amid the Covid-19 lockdown.

In August 2021, Chris confirmed he had moved on with professional golfer Annabel Dimmock.

Chris told The Sun after they went public: “I met her [Annabel] on the golf course, spent a lot of time together and yes, it was lovely. We get on well with each other.

“Obviously, I’ve met loads of girls over the last however long and you talk to people but I’ve never got that buzz with anyone, since my last relationship.”

We then revealed in 2022 that the pair had broken up that June.

GARDEN-LOVERS are racing to Aldi for a budget buy that’ll keep your grass greener than the neighbours’ – and it’s only £5.99.

The supermarket giant is launching a brand new Watering Rod as part of its latest Specialbuys garden range – and it hits stores this Thursday, April 10.

The handy gadget is perfect for summer, making watering your garden a total breeze.

It features eight different spray patterns to suit all your watering needs, whether you’re tackling flower beds, veggie patches or dry lawns.

The rod comes with a lightweight aluminium pole, a comfy non-slip grip and it fits all common garden plug systems, meaning it’s good to go with most hoses.

And at just £5.99, it’s an absolute steal.

A quick check shows similar products cost way more elsewhere.

Screwfix is flogging the Spear & Jackson Telescopic Watering Wand for a hefty £21, while Amazon is selling the LINZI version for £13.

Over at Toolstation, their version is priced at £8.96, however home delivery will set you back an extra £5.

That makes Aldi’s version the cheapest option.

Its always worth comparing prices across different stores to make sure you’re getting the best value for money.

Bargain hunters looking to snap up Aldi’s watering rod will need to be quick.

Like all Aldi Specialbuys, it’s only available while stocks last – and this one is in-store only, so you won’t be able to order it online.

You can find your nearest branch using Aldi’s store locator tool.

The watering rod is the latest garden item in Aldi’s popular spring garden range as Brits head back outdoors after months of gloomy weather.

The budget retailer announced the return of its annual garden range, bringing back some old favourites.

The collection is also stocking decorative items, including whimsical garden arch, a vintage metal hanging pot and a spring rattan hanging basket. 

Just weeks ago, the supermarket dropped a garden gadget that was a staggering £150 cheaper than a Bosch version, sending shoppers wild.

Elsewhere, for those struggling with spring pests ruining the lawn, a homeowner has revealed a cheap hack.

They recommend sprinkling a 50p essential over your lawn to get rid of rats once and for all.

A DEFIANT mum has hit back at trolls who say her kids will never get jobs thanks to their unique names.

Lauren Hair has been told her children will be bullied and their CVs would get binned as adults due to their unusual monikers.

Lauren hates her own ‘common’ name and wanted something more unusual for her kids[/caption]

She fell in love with the name Bart for her three-year-old son and Binky for her six-month-old daughter thanks to two chance encounters.

But she says the backlash over the monikers has been “insane”.

Binky’s name was inspired by a Made in Chelsea cast member after Lauren’s partner met her on a day out in London.

Alexandra Felstead is known by her nickname Binky on the show.

Lauren says the 34-year-old reality TV star was “lovely” and she wanted to name their daughter after someone nice.

The dance teacher chose Bart after she spotted a bus going to St Bartholomew’s Cathedral in London.

But trolls branded her “selfish” for choosing such unique baby names and claimed that she was subjecting the tots to a lifetime of bullying.

“The comments have been insane, people say their CVs will get thrown in the bin,” Lauren, of Inverclyde, Scotland, said.

“Those people shouldn’t be in a role of importance but hopefully those people will be retired by the time Bart and Binky are looking for jobs.

“People were saying they’ll be bullied but no wonder if these people are parents, this is where children learn it from.

“They were saying Binky is good for a baby but not an adult. I think granny Binky sounds cute.”

The dance teacher said even friends and family asked her to reconsider the name Binky before she was born – as well as the midwife in hospital.

“I’ve taught girls with every name under the sun.

“If you know people with a name, you associate that name with that person. We really wanted to name her after someone nice.

“My partner met Binky from Made in Chelsea when he was working in London.

“She was lovely and a really nice person.

“Even the nurse asked if we were sure about the name when she was born.

“When I mentioned the name to my family they asked if I was sure because it is an unusual name but when she was born I knew she was a Binky.

“She is her name. It suits her so much.”

Lauren says her own name is “common” and she wanted to try something unique for her own children.

She added: “My name is so common. There were five Laurens in my school.

“I’d rather have a unique name but everyone is different.

“The people making the comments don’t have their own name or picture so they’re hiding behind the internet.

“It has made me love the name even more.”
