      Man Utd ‘prefer to seal Jadon Sancho transfer over Harry Kane and will let Cavani continue until Haaland quits Dortmund’

      by

      MANCHESTER UNITED reportedly would prefer to sign Borussia Dortmund ace Jadon Sancho over England team-mate Harry Kane.And experienced striker Edinson Cavani will continue his scoring exploits up front until Erling Haaland decides to call it quits at Dortmund.

      According to the Daily Mail, Man Utd boss Ole Gunnar Solskjaer started planning for next season immediately after the Europa League final loss to Villarreal in Gdansk.
      The recent extension of Cavani’s contract means signing a top-class forward is less of a priority.
      Whereas Sancho – a long-time target – is more of a priority, and would help push Mason Greenwood.
      The 21-year-old has had another fine season in Germany, scoring 16 goals and providing 20 assists across all competitions.
      Sancho’s fine form also helped Dortmund to win the German Cup.
      The report states that despite Kane wanting to leave this summer, United do not want to be dragged into a costly auction with rivals Manchester City.
      And Daniel Levy will command a high fee for Spurs’ biggest asset due to the player having three years left on his contract.
      United are willing to wait for Haaland, who has indicated he will stay at Dortmund for at least another season.

      The 20-year-old scored 41 goals across all competitions this season, and it’s believed he will have a £65million release clause next summer.
      But United would be met with stiff competition for the Norwegian wonderkid with the likes of Real Madrid keeping tabs on the striker’s situation.
      United’s Norwegian boss Solskjaer is believed to have a good relationship with Haaland’s family which could work in his favour.

      Bayer Leverkusen repost tweet about Chelsea hero Kai Havertz missing Champions League tie for exams four years ago

      by

      BAYER LEVERKUSEN posted an old tweet to show just how far Chelsea’s Champions League hero Kai Havertz has come.The German scored the winner as the Blues beat Manchester City 1-0 in Porto and his old club were quick to hark back to the time he missed a Champions League tie because he had exams.

      Havertz, 21, put the Blues one up in the 42nd minute and it proved to be enough for the West Londoners.
      Back in 2017, Havertz – then 17 – was forced to miss Leverkusen’s Champions League last-16 clash with Atletico Madrid.
      He had a German and a sport exam to sit.
      The Bundesliga side tweeted a team update ahead of the game and wrote: “Havertz has important exams at school.”
      And as the most expensive player in Chelsea’s history more than paid back his £89million fee with the priceless goal, Leverkusen shared that post again.
      They tweeted it alongside the words: “How it started.”
      And for the ‘how it’s going’ picture they included a snap of the forward sliding on his knees having scored the winner in the biggest game in club football.
      The post received more than 14,400 likes and 2,600 re-tweets.

      Havertz forced BT Sport’s pitchside reporter to apologise to viewers for the German saying ‘f***’ twice in his post-match interview.
      After winning just their second Champions League title, John Terry was trending on Twitter with fans suggesting the Blues legend would be celebrating on the pitch in his kit.
      And it also emerged Chelsea’s stars bagged a cool £10million bonus for winning the famous trophy.
      The Blues’ heroes had already secured a tasty £5m windfall after beating Real Madrid in the semis earlier this month.
      But, despite entering Saturday’s showpiece as heavy underdogs, they never looked like losing after Havertz netted two minutes before half time.
      SunSport revealed that mega-rich City’s squad would have trousered around £15m from a bonus pot should they have won, with some players getting more than others.

      Man Utd still in talks over Jadon Sancho transfer with move ‘most realistic destination’ for £80m Dortmund winger

      According to Sky Sports, ‘United represents the most realistic destination’ for Sancho this summer.
      It is believed Dortmund will accept around £80million for the player, significantly less than their previous reported asking price of £108m.
      The transfer fee is expected to be the biggest stumbling block, with personal terms between United and Sancho’s representatives already rumoured to be agreed.
      Dortmund are believed to have identified Lille’s Jonathan Ikone and Monaco’s Sofiane Diop as potential replacements for the Englishman.
      Several top European clubs have been linked with Sancho, including Premier League giants Liverpool and Chelsea.
      And it’s easy to see why as he’s been in good form this term, scoring 16 goals in all competitions and helping Dortmund win the German Cup.
      And his club colleague Erling Haaland could also be on the move, although he has promised to be ‘respectful’ towards his Dortmund contract.
      The Norwegian forward is believed to have a £66m release clause in his existing deal that comes into force next summer.

      Man Utd’s biggest transfers ever, both in and out, including Ronaldo

      Several clubs – including Chelsea – have been linked with Haaland as a result of the alleged clause and his representatives were spotted in Barcelona in April.
      The 21-year-old scored 27 Bundesliga goals for Dortmund this term.
      Haaland will not feature at Euro 2020 after Norway failed to qualify but Sancho might as the England star has been named in Gareth Southgate’s provisional squad for the tournament.

      Chelsea and Tottenham in Jonas Hofmann transfer fight as 28-year-old continues to star at Borussia Monchengladbach

      by

      JONAS HOFMANN could become the latest transfer target fought over between Chelsea and Tottenham.The Premier League clubs are both linked with the Borussia Monchengladbach winger ahead of the summer transfer market opening.

      According to German outlet Kicker, the 28-year-old is interesting LaLiga clubs as well as Tottenham and Chelsea.
      The Blues were reportedly growing their interest in Hofmann in the spring, with rumours pointing towards a £14million price tag.
      Thomas Tuchel coached the player at Borussia Dortmund but sold him to Gladbach midway through the 2015-16 season.
      Since then, he has continued to impress in the Bundesliga and has reportedly been scouted several times by Spurs in recent months.
      Hofmann has bagged eight goals and 13 assists this season despite Borussia’s inconsistent form.
      Despite making it out of a tough Champions League group, knocking out Inter Milan in the process, the side finished eighth in the domestic table to miss out on European qualification.
      Therefore a sale is said to be on the cards with the English duo tipped to outbid any Spanish rivals for his signature.
      Hofmann’s contract runs to 2023 with no release clause to fall back on.

      Earlier this year, the German insisted any interest in his services was a compliment to his form.
      He told Ruhr Nachrichten in March: “I think it’s clear that other clubs will notice you if you perform well. Therefore, it is possible that one or the other has already asked.”
      Chelsea and Spurs have gone head to head for a number of transfer targets in the past, most notably over Brazilian winger Willian, who even underwent a medical in North London before signing for the Blues.

      And ex-Royals captain and Wales centre-back Ady Williams reckons Three Lions boss Gareth Southgate will now be keeping close tabs on the 23-year-old.
      Williams, 49, told SunSport: “He’s going to be playing with Lewandowski and Thomas Muller, absolutely sensational, world-class players.
      “And just to train with them, never mind the matches against Borussia Dortmund and Co, that will make him a better player and develop him for international football.
      “Omar has also got age on his side and Gareth Southgate and scouts from all over the Premier League will be keeping an eye on him for sure.

      “If he performs at Bayern Munich I’m sure Southgate will be including him in the England squad.
      “It will be hard, because 23 isn’t that young any more when you look at Jadon Sancho and Phil Foden and what they have done.
      “So Richards has to make an impact with Bayern pretty soon to get that international recognition.
      “But I think Bayern have been very clever to snap him up.

      “As a former Reading player, the only downside is that the club won’t get the money they would have got on the open market, which could have been £10-15million.
      “But if he plays there and is a success in Germany then those numbers will double pretty quickly.”
      Ahead of arriving at Allianz Arena on a four-year deal at the end of the month, the Madejski Stadium academy product admitted he was in dreamland.
      London-born Richards said: “My move to FC Bayern is a great  honour for me, a dream come true.
      “I’m proud to be wearing the shirt of one of the world’s biggest clubs. I hope I can help the team continue to be successful.
      “My thanks to the management at FC Bayern for their trust. Our  conversations were very convincing and I can’t wait to be on the pitch for Bayern.”
      Julian Nagelsmann’s new man is not the first star to quit Berkshire for a crack at the big time.
      He follows the likes of Premier League aces Gylfi Sigurdsson, Steve Sidwell and Michail Antonio.
       Williams added: “He is the  modern-day footballer — very athletic and has decent distribution.
      “But even if it doesn’t work out, the ruthless side of me reckons he will come back to England and into the Premier League as a better player and person for the experience.”

      Erling Haaland takes private jet to Monaco in £1,200 Dolce & Gabbana tracksuit and watches Grand Prix from yacht

      by

      ERLING HAALAND enjoyed some well-earned time off on Sunday when he jetted off to the Monaco Grand Prix.The Norwegian capped off his incredible, record-breaking season on Saturday by scoring twice in Borussia Dortmund’s 3-1 final day win over Bayer Leverkusen.

      The Norwegian chilled out as he looked forward to the race
      Haaland, 20, is among Europe’s most wanted footballers, having produced a stunning 41 goal season in all competitions.
      But if the stress of constant transfer speculation is getting to him, it certainly didn’t show as he chilled out on his first day off this summer.
      Donning a £1,200 Dolce & Gabbana tracksuit, the long-haired ace flew to Monaco by private jet on Sunday afternoon.
      Haaland elected to wear his red and white D&G garments, rather than the referee shirt he bizarrely acquired on Saturday, after swapping shirts with official Manuel Grafe, who was taking charge of his final game.
      He posted a picture of himself aboard to his nine million Instagram followers, writing: “On the way to Monaco! ✈️🇲🇨🏎🏁 #MonacoGP @f1.”
      Upon arrival, he relaxed aboard a yacht overlooking the track, as the action got underway in the Principality.
      Wearing a pair of shades, he chatted with friends and enjoyed his rest, ahead of what is set to be a busy few months.
      His father Alf-Inge, accompanied by agent Mino Raiola, has already visited some of Europe’s biggest clubs for talks, including Barcelona and Real Madrid.

      Manchester United, City and Chelsea have all been linked with 6ft 4in Leeds-born star.

      Thomas Tuchel calls Chelsea’s 2012 Champions League triumph a ‘burglary’ after ‘undeserved’ win over Bayern Munich

      by

      THOMAS TUCHEL is hoping to deliver a second Champions League trophy to Chelsea after likening their first to a ‘burglary’.In 2012, the Blues beat Bayern Munich on penalties despite being dominated by the Germans over 120 minutes.

      Thomas Tuchel does not have fond memories of the nightCredit: PA
      Bavaria-born Tuchel was coach of Mainz at the time and has admitted his dismay at Bayern failing to lift the trophy despite a total of 35 shots on goal.
      Speaking ahead of the final day of the Premier League season, the 47-year-old recalled: “I think I was in Munich at home and watched it on TV.
      “Let’s say it was not absolutely well deserved.
      “It felt more like a burglary.”
      Didier Drogba’s late header in front of a largely Bayern-backing Allianz Arena was followed by the Ivorian scoring the winning spot-kick in the penalty shootout.
      Chelsea have a chance to repeat the feat against Manchester City in Porto next week.
      But first the Stamford Bridge side travel to Aston Villa with a top-four finish guaranteed by a win.
      Tuchel is not expected to rest any players on Sunday despite the upcoming final and he has claimed that the Blues’ busy run-in will help their Champions League quest.
      He added: “You get absolutely focused, absolutely sharp when the kind of pressure that we have now is on.

      “These last two matches for us – against Leicester and now Aston Villa – even if the ­pressure was on before, they are ­different.
      “The situation is so clear now. It brings you to the edge. It brings you out of bed early.
      “You think twice and become sharp. That’s what I demand of myself – to deliver under pressure.”
