      Man Utd outcast wanted by Borussia Dortmund with Erik ten Hag ‘open to offers’ for international star

      And it is understood the Red Devils boss is open to offers for the Swedish forward.
      Now the Daily Mail report Borussia Dortmund are considering going in with a bid.
      The Bundesliga giants are keen to reinvest some of the £115million they received from Real Madrid for Jude Bellingham.
      But it could only take £10m to convince United to sell their academy graduate, who joined the club aged 12.

      Elanga’s Sweden team-mate Emil Forsberg wanted him to sign for RB Leipzig.
      The United ace was also linked with West Ham alongside Harry Maguire and £40m as part of a possible deal to try and land Declan Rice.
      However, now it looks as though Dortmund are in pole position.
      Boss Edin Terzic is keen to bolster his attack and it appears Elanga could be targeted.

      That is despite the winger’s disappointing campaign last term.
      He managed 26 appearances in all competitions – including just seven starts – and failed to register a single goal for the Red Devils.
      Elanga did manage two assists but will no doubt feel he could have had a better return.
      He remains part of the international set-up for Sweden, though, and scored against New Zealand in the end-of-season fixtures before coming off the bench again as a late sub against Austria.
      But speaking in March, Elanga remained positive about his situation at Old Trafford under Erik ten Hag – who prefers Antony on the right wing.
      Elanga told Swedish newspaper Aftonbladet: “It is frustrating. You want to play, it’s important. But whether you play or not, it’s up to the coach not me.
      “I know what he wants me to do and I just keep training hard. When the opportunity comes, I just have to be ready to take it.
      “We have a lot of conversations, not only about [the gametime] but also what is happening around. That’s the good thing, we talk a lot and they help me a lot.” More

      Harry Kane ‘is in contact with European giants over sensational summer transfer’ in huge Man Utd blow

      by

      HARRY KANE is still in discussions to join Bayern Munich according to reports in Germany.Journalist Christian Falk claimed on Bild’s transfer podcast that the interest between Kane and Bayern is both “concrete” and “mutual”.

      He went on to claim that Bayern have been speaking with Kane’s family around the logistics of relocating to Bavaria.
      Falk says that the feeling coming out of Kane’s camp is that the striker is “still thinking” about a move to the Bundesliga.
      Bayern have retained an interest in Kane since the end of the season but faced competition from Manchester United and Real Madrid.
      However Daniel Levy’s firm £100million price tag has seen both United and Madrid cool their interest in Kane.

      United have limited funds available until their takeover is cleared, much to the frustration of manager Erik Ten Hag.
      They are unwilling to spend £100m on a 29-year-old that has a year left on his contract.
      Madrid meanwhile would struggle to raise the necessary funds having signed Bellingham in a British record £115m deal.
      Whether Bayern could afford to stump-up the £100m asking price remains to be seen but Spurs would be tempted to sell to a team outside the Premier League.
      Most read in Football
      The temptation will be particularly strong given Kane will be able to decide his own club next summer when his contract expires.
      Bayern are in the market for a striker having failed to replace Robert Lewandoswki after he left for Barcelona last year.
      One way in which they could fund the costly deal would be through player sales.
      Thomas Tuchel is prepared to let a number of high-profile players go as he enters his first full season in charge.
      Benjamin Pavard, Leroy Sane, Serge Gnabry and Sadio Mane are all reportedly transfer listed. More

      Erling Haaland once posed in full Arsenal shirt as a kid as Gunners fans joked ‘he’s coming home’ before Man City move

      by

      Manchester City appeared to always be in pole position for his signature, with Haaland reportedly jetting to Monaco for talks on several occasions before his switch.
      It ended up being a dream move for the Norwegian, who scored an astonishing 52 goals in all competitions.
      He also broke the record for most goals in a Premier League season with 36.
      But, better still, his side managed to win a historic treble – with the 1-0 Champions League final win over Inter Milan being the icing on the cake of a remarkable debut campaign.

      But an old photo posted to Twitter by Football.London’s Chris Wheatley once caused quite the stir among Arsenal fans.
      In the snap Haaland can be seen wearing a yellow Gunners away kit with matching shorts.
      The kit is dated from the 2010-11 season, and was also used as the away kit for the next two campaigns, but it’s unknown when the picture was taken.
      Nevertheless some fans joked it was a sign that Haaland could have been heading to the Emirates instead,
      Instead, the Gunners added former Man City man Gabriel Jesus to their ranks, who made way for Haaland.
      One excited supporter wrote on social media at the time: “He’s coming home then.”
      Meanwhile another said: “He’s a Gooner through and through.”
      Most read in Football
      Others called for Haaland’s Norway team-mate Martin Odegaard to help get a deal over the line, with one writing: “Agent Odegaard.”
      Unfortunately for Arsenal fans, Haaland did end up opting for Man City instead.
      And if wearing a shirt was anything to go by, last year the goal machine was spotted wearing Leeds United shorts as he signed fans for autographs.
      Maybe that’s where he will retire? More

      But Sky Sports report that City are unwilling to let the defender go this summer despite him only having a year remaining on his deal.
      And as a result, Tuchel will look to reunite with Cesar Azpilicueta, 33, according to German outlet Bild.
      The two worked together during Tuchel’s spell in charge of Chelsea between January 2021 and September 2022.
      Under Tuchel’s reign Azpilicueta captained Chelsea to Champions League victory in 2021 as well as the Club World Cup later that year.

      The two still have a good relationship according to the German outlet and remain in touch.
      The Spaniard still has a year left on his contract at the Bridge but an offer from Bayern could see the Blues cash-in as they trim their bloated squad.
      Azpilicueta would be following Kalidou Koulibaly, Hakim Ziyech and N’golo Kante out the door if he were to bring his 11 year spell at Chelsea to an end this summer.
      It has been a frustrating window for Bayern so far as Tuchel looks to mould the squad to his needs.
      Most read in Football
      The German took over in March when he replaced Julian Nagelsmann but endured a tough start to his tenure in charge.
      The Bavarian side were knocked out of the DFB Pokal in Tuchel’s second game and were beaten convincingly by Manchester City in the quarter-final of the Champions League.
      And while they finished the season as Bundesliga champions it was achieved amid a fraught squad atmosphere.
      The Bavarian club have so far missed out on targets Declan Rice and look set to fail in their pursuit of Walker.
      Tuchel is rumoured to approve of the sale of a number of players including: Benjamin Pavard, Leroy Sane, Serge Gnabry and Sadio Mane as he looks to put his stamp on things. More

      According to transfer expert Fabrizio Romano, however, the right-back is holding talks with the Citizens over a potential contract extension.

      “Sources believe this is still a possibility despite interest from Bayern.

      “Bayern want Walker but City are still in talks to discuss Kyle’s stay.”
      Walker’s contract runs out in 2024, which means City could lose him for free next year if he stays without penning a new deal.
      Bayern manager Thomas Tuchel is a big admirer of the 33-year-old, whom he watched during his time in Chelsea’s dugout.
      The Bavarians are rigorously searching for a right-back during the summer transfer window.

      And the German giants are determined to sign from the top shelf after refusing to turn Walker’s City team-mate Joao Cancelo’s loan deal into a permanent stay.
      City are also looking to upgrade in defence despite a stunning campaign at home and abroad.
      That is why Guardiola is very keen to land RB Leipzig star Josko Gvardiol. More

      He has won five Bundesliga titles and the Champions League in 2020, leading to transfer attention.
      The left-back revealed Barcelona showed interest in signing him, but ultimately decided against the transfer due to his nationality.
      He told the Say Less podcast: “Barcelona actually reached out but the president said they didn’t want me.
      “They said they didn’t want me because I was Canadian. I’m not gonna lie that kind of crushed my feelings a little bit.”

      Davies, 22, has been linked with a move to Real Madrid in recent months with Carlo Ancelotti in need of a left-back.
      However, it is believed they will wait until 2024 to try and sign the full-back.
      This would enable them to try and purchase him for a cut-price fee.
      It is a tactic Los Blancos have used in the past to acquire the likes of Toni Kroos from Bayern and Eden Hazard from Chelsea.
