"We expect Maxi to complete his move away from the club. I think that's 99% done," Cleverley told BBC Sport."We don't expect Maxi back in the building - again a player who you can see is quality, he plays for Ukraine and he's trying to get to World Cup."He's been very respectful with myself, he's been very respectful with his teammates and if you are unfortunately going to lose a player like Maxi he's certainly done it in a very respectful way and he's gone to the level above, which is the nature of being relegated at times." Benarous in talks over Argyle deal Meanwhile, Cleverley says the club has made an offer to former Bristol City midfielder Ayman 21-year-old has been on trial over the summer at Home Park after his release from the Championship has not played since April 2022 after suffering serious knee Cleverley says he has been impressed with his versatility and is hopeful he is over the worst of his injury problems."He's been very impressive in his trial period. He's had fitness issues in the past that he looks like he's over," said Cleverely. "In all the physical work we've done he's been really competitive and at the front of that, so he's a player that, for sure, there's a little bit of risk attached with his injury history, but the he's quality shown in the last week far outweighs that risk, in my opinion,"We'll be delighted if we can come to a deal on that."The club are also looking to sign a more experienced striker, having added Bim Pepple and Owen Oseni to their squad, while American goalkeeper Tyler Miller is on trial following his release from Notts County.

Sven Hoppe/dpa Former Germany defender Jérôme Boateng is considering not letting his children go to watch him play in stadiums in Austria after receiving racist abuse. The 36-year-old joined LASK last year but accused his own fans of racist abuse towards him in the 1-0 loss at Grazer AK earlier this month. Advertisement "I've experienced it across my career - even in my youth. It was towards me recently, but it has also been against my team-mates with a different skin colour. It's not acceptable in any way," 2014 World Cup winner Boateng told Sport1 on Wednesday. "Racism has no place at all. You have to talk about it and not look away. Insults are one thing, but racist abuse is another level. There are children in the stadium - including mine. I have to think about whether I still let my children into the stadium."

Plymouth sign Talovierov for club 'record fee'
Plymouth Argyle have signed Ukrainian international Maksym Talovierov from LASK for a club "record fee". The 24-year-old centre-back has signed a three-and-a-half-year deal at Home Park. Talovierov has seven international caps since making his Ukraine debut last year and made 49 appearances in the Austrian Bundesliga for LASK. He has also played for Slavia Prague, Slovan Liberec and Dynamo Ceske Budejovice. Talovierov provides much-needed depth to the Argyle defence, with Brendan Galloway out for the season and Lewis Gibson having left for Preston North End earlier this month. Plymouth stated the deal represented a record fee for the club, but did not state the exact amount. It is the second time they have broken their transfer record in this window having previously done so in signing Michael Baidoo from Elsborg. "I have been open since I joined Argyle that we would be patient to bring in the right players who could help the team," Plymouth head coach Miron Muslic told the club's website. "In Maksym we feel we have done just that as he is a commanding presence who will add height and physicality to the side, but he is also good on the ball and technically good. "Most importantly, he is a good defender and will strengthen our options in the defensive department of the squad." The Pilgrims are bottom of the Championship table but could call on Talovierov for Saturday's visit of West Bromwich Albion, subject to EFL approval and international clearance.
