      Coman, 25, reportedly wants to quit Bayern this summer as his ‘wages are too low’.
      And Xavi would love to manage him at the Nou Camp if he ever took over, according to Spanish outlet Sport.
      The 41-year-old is currently managing Qatari side Al Sadd where he recently signed a new deal after rejecting the chance to take charge of Borussia Dortmund and Brazil.
      But he has reportedly told close friends how he would want his Barca side to look.
      The former midfielder wants to go back to a 4-3-3 system.
      And Xavi is said to want Coman as his left-winger.
      The Spaniard is a fan of the wideman’s ability to cut in from the left on to his right foot as the club have ‘lacked that since Neymar left for Paris Saint-Germain’.
      Coman’s speed and ability to unbalance defenders are also said to be among his most desired traits.

      United are interested in the France international as an alternative to Jadon Sancho.
      Coman – whose current deal runs until 2023 – has been offered £10million-a-year to stay at Bayern.
      But that is still below the £14.5m fellow winger Leroy Sane has been raking in annually since his move from Manchester City.
      And Coman is said to be using his team-mate’s salary as a benchmark in negotiations having recorded better stats on the field.
      He was also reportedly left upset by Bayern’s decision not to award him the iconic No 10 shirt.
      Coman allegedly asked for Arjen Robben’s number after the Dutchman left in 2019 but the club gave it to Philippe Coutinho during his loan season.
      To add insult to injury, ex-City speedster Sane was then handed the No 10 on a permanent basis last term.

      His amazing form has seen him receive interest from the likes of Thomas Tuchel’s Champions League winners.
      But Dortmund are set to make such a deal far more difficult.
      Bellingham, 17, penned a deal to 2023 with the German giants last year.
      But his contract reportedly contains an option for Dortmund to add two years upon his 18th birthday.
      According to Bild, they will exercise their option to extend the deal to 2025 when Bellingham turns 18 later this month.
      The midfielder burst onto the scene with boyhood club Brum last year.

      Speaking to talkSPORT, Camberwell-born Sancho said: “I was a Chelsea fan growing up, I can’t lie.
      “Didier Drogba and Frank Lampard were my favourite players at the time.
      “I just love Frank Lampard and how he played his game; he was so direct and so composed on the ball.
      “I like things like that.”
      Sancho has been linked with a move back to England just four years after leaving Manchester City for Dortmund.
      And Man Utd have watched on in awe as the 21-year-old England international dazzled in Germany.
      Sancho has impressively scored 50 goals and provided 64 assists in 137 games for Dortmund, which has attracted interest from some of Europe’s biggest clubs.

      After nearly two years of speculation linking him with a move to United, he said: “I’m cool about it.
      “There’s always going to be speculation, especially when you do well.
      “It’s just how you handle that on the pitch. You’ve got to keep doing what you’re doing; if you keep on doing that then I’m sure that won’t be a problem.

      “The main thing is my football and that’s what I’m focusing on at the moment.”
      Sancho is away on international duty with England for this summer’s Euros and he is well within manager Gareth Southgate’s plans.
      England kick off their Euro 2020 campaign against Croatia on Saturday, and they will be looking to get revenge for 2018’s World Cup semi-final loss.
      Man Utd, as well as a host of other clubs, will have to wait until after this summer’s tournament before making a move.

      Having initially looked set for a move to Barcelona, PSG hijacked the deal at the last minute by offering Wijnaldum higher wages.
      The midfielder, 30, is now due to join the French giants on July 1, with Liverpool already looking for replacements.
      According to SPORT1, they have started negotiations to sign Neuhaus, who made 45 appearances last season, with eight goals and assists.
      But it is claimed Liverpool are yet to make an official offer to either Monchengladbach or the player.
      Neuhaus, capable of playing as a deep-lying midfielder or in a pair, has made six international caps, scoring twice.
      And Liverpool are said to be using the delayed European Championships as a way of further scouting the starlet.
      Neuhaus has opened up about a switch away from Germany in the past.

      He said, per SPORT1: “It will be very important how my gut feeling is.
      “How much you have the feeling that the club really wants you. I’m a person who likes to dare. I could very well imagine going abroad.”
      Liverpool have also recently been linked with Roma’s Lorenzo Pellegrini, 24, with a bid of around £25.8million being lined up.

      by

      SunSport have exclusively revealed that the Red Devils expect to announce his arrival at the club after Euro 2020.
      A five-year deal is understood to be on the table for the ex-Manchester City youth star, who will earn £350,000-a-week at the Theatre of Dreams.
      But according to Sport1 journalist Florian Plettenburg, United have identified France ace Coman as a back-up should they fail to land Sancho.
      Taking to Twitter, he stated that United were keen on bringing Coman to the Premier League last year.
      Valued at £43million, the 24-year-old would cost almost half of what BVB are seeking for Sancho.
      With Coman’s contract talks said to have stalled at the Allianz Arena, the Champions League winner could be sold later in the summer.
      Though it is believed that the former Juventus man is keen on extending his stay in Bavaria.
      Sancho meanwhile has revealed that United’s players have been asking him about his future while on international duty with England.

      He said: “Of course, all the boys have a lot of questions. When you do well, speculation is always going to come around.
      “I just tell the boys, ‘look, I’m focused on football at the moment’ and we just focus on the Euros, step by step.”
      Speaking to talkSPORT, Sancho was asked if he could be distracted by the move during the Euros.
      He said: “No, I’m cool about it. It’s just how you handle that on the pitch, so just keep doing what you’re doing.
      “If you keep doing that then I’m sure it won’t be a problem because the main thing is my football and that’s what I’m focused on at the moment.”

      Arsenal transfer boost with Marcel Sabitzer set to quit RB Leipzig this summer and could be available for just £15m fee

      by

      ARSENAL have been given a boost in their pursuit of Marcel Sabitzer, with reports suggesting he could be the next player to leave RB Leipzig.Leipzig CEO Oliver Mintzlaff has hinted at reducing the size of the squad, despite defenders Ibrahima Konate and Dayot Upamecano having already left this summer.

      Arsenal transfer target Marcel Sabitzer is available for a bargain price this summer

      The Gunners were interested in Sabitzer in January, as were Tottenham.
      The North Londoners have previously been priced out of a move for the Austria international, with Leipzig not willing to sell for less than his £43million release clause.
      However, Sabitzer has made it clear he is open to a new challenge.
      And that means the midfielder could leave for just £15m this summer.
      The main reason behind that is the fact Sabitzer has just a year remaining on his contract, and he has rejected previous offers of a new deal.
      That could reignite interest from Arsenal and Tottenham with the transfer window now open.
      But if the 27-year-old impresses at the Euros he could attract interest from across Europe.

      He has already performed well in the Bundesliga and the Champions League, with 12 goals across the two competitions last season.
      And Sabitzer could be a like-for-like replacement for Martin Odegaard if the Norwegian decides to stay at Real Madrid.
      But given the cut-price deal available it is likely Arsenal will have to fend off interest from several clubs if they are to land his signature.

      How Chelsea could line-up next season with Achraf Hakimi and Erling Haaland transfers – but does Reece James fit in?

      by

      CHELSEA are set for another summer of spending with Achraf Hakimi and Erling Haaland said to be the Blues’ top targets.And if Thomas Tuchel lands the two superstars his starting XI could look totally different but it would likely mean far less game time for Reece James and Timo Werner.
      WIN £50,000! Play Dream Team Euros – our FREE fantasy football game
      How Chelsea could line up if they land top summer targets Achraf Hakimi and Erling Haaland
      Inter Milan’s Moroccan star right-back Hakimi is valued at £70million by the Italian giants.
      The Blues and Paris Saint-Germain have both had bids of around £56m rejected by the Serie A champs, who are battling debts.
      And the West Londoners may now look to swing the deal their way by offering players in part-exchange.
      However, Hakimi’s arrival could spell trouble for England ace James who plays in the 22-year-old’s preferred position.
      But fortunately for James, Hakimi can also play on the left side of defence so the two could theoretically take to the field at the same time.
      Tuchel admitted he wants ‘two or three’ new players this summer to freshen things up and ‘challenge our ideas in training’.
      The financial fallout from Covid and a £220m transfer spree last summer will rein in Chelsea’s spending.
      But they will still go all out to land one or two marquee stars and flex their muscles as the new kings of Europe.

      The Blues are among the clutch of top clubs chasing Borussia Dortmund’s superstar striker Haaland.
      He is one of the most wanted players in Europe this summer and is said to be keen on a switch to Chelsea.
      Dortmund are willing to listen to offers in the region of £150million this summer.
      That is because his bargain £68m release clause will come into effect by the end of next campaign.
      According to the Telegraph, Haaland would be open to holding talks over a potential switch to the European champions.
      But that could spell the end of Werner’s Chelsea career.
      Despite leading the line as the Blues claimed Champions League glory, many have questioned his ability after repeated struggles in front of goal.
      And with one of the best strikers on the planet in the side, the former RB Leipzig star would undoubtedly get a lot less minutes on the pitch.
