      Leicester and Newcastle hope to land Ozan Kabak in bargain transfer from cash-strapped Schalke after Euro 2020 snub

      by

      PREMIER LEAGUE clubs including Leicester and Newcastle are reportedly eyeing a cut-price deal for Ozan Kabak.The centre-back cost Schalke £13million when signing from Stuttgart two years ago and was touted as a star of the future.

      However, the German club’s relegation from the Bundesliga and Kabak’s poor form look set to wreck their chances of making a profit on the 21-year-old.
      Schalke allowed him to join Liverpool on loan in January for just £1m – at the hope the Reds secured his permanent transfer for an extra £17m.
      An underwhelming stint at Anfield consisting of just 13 appearances meant Jurgen Klopp refused the option to enact his purchase clause.
      And Kabak was left on the bench for all three of Turkey’s Euro 2020 games as his country left the tournament without winning a point.
      That leaves Schalke with little hope of making any money out of his sale, which appears to be likely nevertheless with the Gelsenkirchen club almost £200m in debt ahead of a season in the 2. Bundesliga.
      According to Bild, a number of clubs are tentatively interested in a deal.
      They include Leicester, Newcastle and Crystal Palace, plus French teams Nice and Rennes.
      It is speculated that a bid of £13m should be enough to tempt a transfer.

      Steve Bruce’s Newcastle are also linked with a move for Fulham’s £10m centre-back Tosin Adarabioyo.
      While Leicester need to replace recently-retired club captain Wes Morgan and will also splash out on RB Salzburg forward Patson Daka.
      Crystal Palace’s transfer business is expected to kick up a gear once a new manager is found, with SunSport revealing last night that Swansea’s Steve Cooper is their new first-choice target.

      Erling Haaland rubbishes claims he spent £430k on dinner in Mykonos as he enjoys summer holiday on Greek island

      by

      BORUSSIA DORTMUND striker Erling Haaland has shot down reports of him spending £430,000 at a restaurant in Mykonos.The 20-year-old has been spending time in the Greek island where he has even been partying with Manchester City Riyad Mahrez.

      With Norway failing to qualify for Euro 2020, the centre-forward jetted off to Greece to bask in the sun by the Aegean Sea.
      And reports in Greece have claimed he has been enjoying himself too much, with the ex-Red Bull Salzburg ace said to have forked out £430k during a six-hour stay at an eatery.
      Journalist Stefan Bienkowski stated that Haaland racked up a mammoth bill, before generously tipping staff £25,000.
      He tweeted: “Greek sports newspaper Sportime are reporting that Dortmund striker Erling Haaland spent €500k in six hours at a restaurant on the island of Mykonos and ended up leaving a €30k tip for the staff.”
      But Haaland was quick to rubbish the claim, as he commented: “I think they forgot the main courses. Fake news.”
      Haaland is making the most of his holiday time before he reports back to pre-season duty at Signal Iduna Park.
      The former Molde marksman enjoyed a superb 2020-21 campaign where he chipped in with an incredible 41 goals and 12 assists in 41 matches in all competitions.
      Two of those strikes came in the German Cup final where he starred in Dortmund’s 4-1 victory against RB Leipzig.

      Real Madrid target Haaland has been partying hard in Mykonos during his free time

      He has been heavily linked with a move away from BVB this summer, with the player claimed to have agreed personal terms with Chelsea.
      Meanwhile Real Madrid could make a move for Haaland as Carlo Ancelotti looks to bolster his attack.
      And Bayern Munich are said to be plotting a sensational swoop for him should Robert Lewandowski depart the Allianz Arena.
      Dortmund are likely only to entertain offers of around £150m for Haaland this summer, which could put off potential suitors.
      Clubs could wait until next year to sign Haaland with the striker available for just £65m due to a clause in his contract.

      Dortmund set to reinvest £77m Jadon Sancho fee into Arsenal reject Donyell Malen as Man Utd close in on transfer

      by

      BORUSSIA DORTMUND are reportedly interested in signing PSV Eindhoven forward Donyell Malen.And the German club could use some of the money from Jadon Sancho’s imminent sale to Manchester United to fund the move.
      Borussia Dortmund are planning to sign Donyell Malen as Jadon Sancho’s replacement
      Manchester United are closing in on a move for Jadon Sancho
      Personal terms between Sancho and United have been agreed, with the Red Devils now needing to stump up an additional £8.5million to complete the deal.
      Dortmund are plotting a £25m move for Malen, according to German outlet Bild.
      And talks between Dortmund and Malen’s agent Mino Raiola have already begun.
      The fee for the Netherlands international could rise but the Bundesliga club view the 22-year-old as Sancho’s replacement.
      Dortmund will reportedly need to move quickly to complete the deal due to interest from elsewhere, with Liverpool one of the clubs said to be tracking him.
      The Reds are believed to have opened transfer talks with PSV after he scored 19 goals in 32 Eredivisie games last season.
      And Dortmund CEO Hans-Joachim Watzke has warned he will pull out of talks if PSV seek to drive up a bidding war due to the interest in Malen.

      But if a deal is completed it would be some turnaround for Malen, after he was sold for less than £1m by Arsenal in 2018.
      Malen has mostly operated as a central striker for PSV but he can also play on the wing, making him an ideal replacement for Sancho.
      The England star has been courted by United since last summer but it appears the Red Devils are finally closing in on an £80m move for the winger.

      But the clubs remain apart in terms of valuation for the 21-year-old England international.
      Manchester Evening News report that United are £8.5million shy of Dortmund’s valuation.
      The report states that Dortmund are believed to want £6m more up front and £2.5m in add-ons on top of what United are currently offering.
      Man Utd have made a £72m bid to land Sancho this summer, and are prepared to go up to £80m.
      Personal terms based on a five-year deal worth £350,000-a-week have already been agreed.
      The Red Devils have been after Sancho for a while and thought they had their man last summer.
      But they refused to meet Dortmund’s asking price of £110m back then.
      Sancho has thrived at Dortmund after spending his youth career with Watford and then Manchester City.

      In his last two seasons in the Bundesliga he has hit 36 goals and provided 40 assists in 82 games.

      by

      CHELSEA transfer target Niklas Sule could extend his Bayern Munich contract, according to reports.Thomas Tuchel is believed to be keen on the centre-back but so far the Blues have not made a bid for Sule, 25.
      Chelsea have chased Niklas Sule over the last few months
      But with just a year remaining on his current Bayern contract, there is some doubt about Sule’s future.
      The Bundesliga champions will reportedly look to secure his services for a further year, report Sport Bild.
      The outlet also claims Chelsea are still interested, but state an offer has been a long time coming from the European champions.
      Sule joined Bayern Munich from Hoffenheim for £21million in 2017.
      He has made 133 appearances for the club but lost his regular spot in the side last season, starting just 16 league games.
