Meanwhile, Liverpool are confident Kalvin Phillips’ proposed move to Manchester City leaves them in pole position to land Jude Bellingham, SunSport can exclusively reveal.

    Elsewhere Gareth Bale has confirmed that he will be joining MLS side Los Angeles FC.
    Meanwhile, Bale’s former team Real Madrid have identified Premier League Golden Boot winner Son Heung-min as a potential target for next season.

    Rom for improvement
    Fulham have launched an ambitious bid to sign AC Milan captain and Chelsea target Alessio Romagnoli.
    According to Sky Italy, the Cottagers have tabled an offer in the last 24 hours but Romagnoli isn’t too keen on a move to Craven Cottage and is waiting for other opportunities.
    The centre-back is hoping that Lazio will table an offer, having previously shown interest, but his dream scenario is to stay at Milan.
    The Blues are looking to boost their backline after losing Antonio Rudiger and Andreas Christensen this summer

    Rich taste
    Spurs are reportedly lining up a combined bid for two of Everton’s bets players.
    The North London club want to put together a package deal for Brazil striker Richarlison and England Under-21 winger Anthony Gordon, according to Sky Sports.
    The Toffees are said to be anticipating a bid for both players which could be made this week.
    The versatile Richarlison, 25, is viewed as ideal competition and cover for a Spurs frontline led by talisman Harry Kane.
    Apparently Tottenham have been tracking him since he impressed at Watford in the 2017-18 season.
    Sky Sports also point out that left-winger Gordon, 21, fits with Spurs’ agenda of signing and developing young English talent.

    Ful of it
    Fulham have launched an £11million bid for Manchester United ace Andreas Pereira.
    According to the Mail, Pereira is not in United manager Erik ten Hag’s plans for next season.
    And United are ready to sell the attacking midfielder for a cut-price fee this summer.
    The 26-year-old has been on loan at Flamengo for the last year but the Brazilian giants are hesitant about making the deal permanent after just seven goals in 52 games.
    And that has opened the door for Fulham to pounce for the Brazil international
    Joe Gomez advice
    Liverpool hero Danny Murphy believes Joe Gomez should go away on loan to build up his confidence but manager Jurgen Klopp would rather keep him.
    Murphy told BeMyBet: “Now they have signed Calvin Ramsay from Aberdeen, maybe it’s time for him to move on and go and play somewhere consistently because I think he is a super talent.
    “The reality is he is another one who will probably be there another season.
    “I don’t think any player should be in a rush to leave Liverpool. I am also a believer in making the years that you’ve got playing count and maybe a loan move could work for him.
    “Maybe a loan move somewhere for a season to go and play and build his confidence up again.
    “With the amount of fixtures Liverpool have and trying to be competitive on all fronts, I think that Jurgen Klopp would want the option of him as a fourth centre half”
    Need Mar
    Arsenal are set to submit another bid for Ajax centre-back Lisandro Martinez, according to reports.
    The Gunners have been heavily linked with a swoop for the defender, 24, over the past few weeks.
    They have already had a £25million bid rejected by the Eredivisie champions, but they are now set to submit an improved offer of £34.5m.
    However, according to Dutch Outlet De Telegraaf, it is unlikely to be accepted as Ajax want at least £43m for his services.
    Mikel Arteta’s side face competition from Premier League rivals Manchester United for Martinez’s signature.
    The Red Devils are looking to bolster their defence following a disastrous season.
    Rich pickings
    Tottenham have reportedly been joined by Chelsea in the race to lure Richarlison away from Everton.
    Spurs have been heavily linked with a move for the 25-year-old in a potential £51.25million deal.
    SunSport reported last week how Thomas Tuchel’s Blues side were also interested in the Brazil international.
    It has been claimed that the Toffees may cash in on the ex-Watford ace in the next five days as they need to balance the books.
    A move to London could be in the offing, with Sky Sports stating that Chelsea are considering rivalling rivals Spurs for his signature.
    Chelsea are in the market for a centre-forward after allowing club-record signing Romelu Lukaku to return to Inter Milan on loan.

    Man City expect Sterling bid
    Manchester City are expecting a bid for Raheem Sterling by Chelsea.
    That is according to Sky Sports, who claim that Sterling heads the Blues’ manager Thomas Tuchel’s shortlist for attacking targets.
    It has also been reported that City are grateful for the forward’s services and will not obstruct his desire for more minutes elsewhere.
    The Premier League champions’ boss Pep Guardiola is open to allowing the England international’s exit, even to a league rival.
    Tuchel is desperate to add to his frontline, especially after Romelu Lukaku’s loan exit to Inter Milan, but will have to meet the Citizens’ £50million asking price for Sterling

    Gal-ways have Paris
    Christophe Galtier has left Nice and is set to take over at Paris Saint-Germain this week.
    Galtier’s former club have moved quickly and signed former Borussia Dortmund boss Lucien Favre, according to transfer expert Fabrizio Romano.
    Romano tweeted: “Official and confirmed. Christophe Galtier leaves OGC Nice as he’s set to sign with Paris Saint-Germain as new manager. It will be resolved and completed this week.
    “OGC Nice have announced former Borussia Dortmund’s Lucien Favre as new manager, club statement confirms”
    Rich and poor
    Everton have to balance the books in the next five days in what could be a major boost for Chelsea and Tottenham’s bid for Richarlison.
    The Toffees’ ongoing battle with financial fair play rules mean the Blues and Spurs’s transfer hopes could be best served by moving early.
    According to The Athletic, the “bulk” of the Merseysiders’ incoming business will have to be done after June 30, which could explain the lack of transfers at Goodison Park so far.
    The reason for this deadline is FFP, which is calculated until the end of June.
    Everton have been under prolonged pressure over their finances, with rivals even attempting to use it against them during last season’s nail-biting relegation struggle.
    The free-spending start to Toffees’ owner Farhad Moshiri’s reign has left the club needing to balance the books
    Things getting Frenk
    Manchester United are hoping to seal a deal for Barcelona star Frenkie de Jong by the end of the week.
    According to Sport, Barca are looking to offload De Jong as quickly as possible so they can remove his salary from their accounts.
    This is despite the Blaugrana’s initial reluctance to sell the midfielder this year.
    The Netherlands international’s big money move to Old Trafford will see him reunite with former Ajax boss Erik Ten Hag, three years after leaving the Eredivisie
    Ox transfer advice
    Liverpool hero Danny Murphy advised forgotten man Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain to consider a move to Southampton and insists he would also be good at Aston Villa or Newcastle.
    Murphy told BeMyBet: “We’ve seen glimpses of him in the Liverpool shirt where he’s been brilliant. If he can stay fit I think he would be a great addition for someone.
    “I don’t think he’d do it, but I’m sure [Frank] Lampard would like having him around across the park. Maybe even somewhere like Southampton where he started his career where he can play and enjoy his football and be the main man.
    “Yeah, maybe. I think that the problem you’ve got is that Newcastle are going to start spending on big names and progressing quite quickly. However he’s more than capable in playing in both those sides/
    ‘It’s an individual choice when you get to a certain stage in your career where you have to balance on and off the field happiness, and football. He’s earned good money for a long time, so I wouldn’t think his priority would be finance”
    “I really like him, I like watching him play, I like the dynamism he’s got, I like his energy. I hope he goes somewhere where he’s going to play every week and we don’t see him sitting on the bench somewhere just to get an extra 10 or 20 grand a week.”
    Richarlison transfer war
    Chelsea and Tottenham are set for a bidding war over Everton star Richarlison.
    That is according to Sky Sports, who claim the West Londoners are keen to rival their local foes over the star forward.
    In fact, the Blues see him as the perfect replacement for Romelu Lukaku, who is returning to Inter Milan on loan.
    Spurs, on the other hand, want to add to their striking pair of Harry Kane and Son Heung-min
    Erik ten Hag-gle
    Manchester United boss Erik ten Hag starts work on Monday facing an Old Trafford cash squeeze that threatens to hamper his re-building plans, as per SunSport’s Ken Lawrence.
    While United CEO Richard Arnold told fans in a recent pub meeting that money was “not a consideration” in this summer’s transfer window, he will still not provide Ten Hag with an open cheque book.
    With the Red Devils looking for investors to fund either a new stadium or a major overhaul of Old Trafford, the Dutch head coach will have to pay a price.
    The budget before any sales, with Anthony Martial and Eric Bailly expected to be dumped, could be as little as £100million

    Deal me in
    Arsenal ace William Saliba has held “positive” contract talks with club chiefs, who are looking to tie him down to a long-term deal after a series of loan stints.
    Reporter Chris Wheatley has now revealed that ex-Marseille, Nice and St-Etienne loanee Saliba could be closing in on a new contract.
    Wheatley tweeted: “William Saliba contract talks going positively with Frenchman set to return for pre-season training shortly.
    “The French defender will be at Arsenal for the 2022-23 season, as confirmed by manager Mikel Arteta and people close to the player”
    Lewandowski price tag
    Bayern Munich are demanding £52million to sell Robert Lewandowski in the summer transfer window.
    Lewandowski has publicly asked to leave Bayern as he enters the final year of his contract.
    The striker has his heart set on Barcelona despite interest from Chelsea and Manchester United.
    The Bundesliga champions are refusing to let him go on the cheap and Sky Sports claim they will only sell for £52m.
    This will come as a massive blow to cash-strapped Barca, who are trying to improve their squad on a tight budget by looking for cheap transfers and free agents.
    The Blaugrana have debts of over half a billion euros and are desperate to not pile on extra costs
    S-Mart move for Lisandro
    Arsenal are looking to beat Manchester United in the race for Ajax star Lisandro Martinez.
    The Gunners’ boss Mikel Arteta is a huge admirer of Martinez’s versatility, with the defender also able to operate as a left-back and defensive midfielder.
    And transfer expert Fabrizio Romano has delivered an update on Arteta’s pursuit of the Argentina international.
    Romano said on his YouTube channel: “Arsenal want Lisandro Martinez.
    “They had new contacts with his agent and after an opening bid was turned down by Ajax.
    “But at the moment, still no fresh bid. Arsenal are on it. Arsenal want Lisandro Martinez, but also Manchester United mentioned his name internally.
    “Lisandro is one to watch for the coming weeks. Ajax want around €45m-€50m [£38m-£43m]”
    Boehly on Cech
    Chelsea’s new owner Todd Boehly has praised Petr Cech after his decision to depart from the club.
    Boehly said: “Petr is an important member of the Chelsea family.
    “We understand his decision to step away and thank him for his contributions as an advisor and his commitment to the club and to our community.
    “We wish him the best”

    Neym the price
    Chelsea, Manchester United and Newcastle are among the only transfer options for Paris Saint-Germain superstar Neymar this summer.
    That’s as the star forward reportedly considers his future at Parc des Princes after being left fuming with PSG chief Nasser Al-Khelaifi hinting his performances were below par last season.
    According to RMC Sport, the Brazil international is thinking of leaving the Parisians in the summer.
    Reports this month claimed the French champions are prepared to sell the 30-year-old for the right price as they plot a summer rebuild.
    Premier League trio United, Chelsea and Newcastle are the only teams with the right money to sign Neymar
    Petr Cech leaves role
    Chelsea hero Petr Cech will leave his role as technical and performance advisor on June 30.
    Cech said: “It has been a huge privilege to perform this role at Chelsea for the past three years.
    “With the club under new ownership, I feel now is the right time for me to step aside.
    “I am pleased that the club is now in an excellent position with the new owners, and I am confident of its future success both on and off the pitch”
    Jover the moon
    Tottenham have opened talks to sign RB Leipzig ace Josko Gvardiol.
    According to Nabil Djellit, Gvardiol’s strong season has caught Spurs’ attention, who have sparked negotiations over a potential transfer and are rivalling Chelsea as well as Manchester United.
    The North Londoners are desperate to land a new centre-back, having been linked with Inter Milan duo Alessandro Bastoni and Milan Skriniar.
    The Croatia international ranked in the top five in the Bundesliga for interceptions and posed highly in blocks and tackles as well
    Neymar linked with Juventus
    Paris Saint-Germain superstar Neymar’s agents have opened talks with Juventus over a transfer.
    The star forward is claimed to have been unsettled by club president Nasser Al-Khelaifi’s recent comments regarding his future.
    A clause in the Brazil international’s £600,000-a-week contract is set to trigger on July 1, extending the deal by an extra year to 2027.
    According to Sky Sports, PSG have been looking for a buyer for their No10.
    AS, however, claim the 30-year-old’s representatives have also been trying to find a move for their star man.
    The Brazilian has been keen on a return to Barcelona, but the Catalan giants’ financial woes make a move unrealistic

    Bale joins Los Angeles FC
    Gareth Bale has confirmed his shock move to MLS outfit Los Angeles FC.
    Bale left Real Madrid at the end of his contract earlier this month as a free agent.
    For months there have been suggestions the star forward could retire or sign with hometown club Cardiff.
    But the Wales international has put the rumours to bed after confirming he is joining LAFC on Twitter.
    Sharing a video of himself in the club’s black and gold, Bale said: “See you soon, Los Angeles”
    Chelsea meet Ronaldo agent
    Chelsea have met with Manchester United superstar Cristiano Ronaldo’s agent, shocking reports suggest.
    Ronaldo’s agent Jorge Mendes has reportedly met with new Blues owner Todd Boehly last week and discussed a move for his client.
    The five-time Ballon d’Or winner is thought to be happy to stay at United for the beginning of a new era under Erik ten Hag.
    However, the forward is also reportedly concerned about the lack of summer transfer business the Red Devils have managed so far – with not a single player arriving
    Jesus going to Arsenal
    Manchester City star Gabriel Jesus is on the brink of a £45million move to Arsenal on a five-year contract.
    Jesus is expected to be in London on Tuesday to complete his medical in time to join up with his new team-mates for pre-season.
    The Gunners agreed on a fee with the centre-forward’s agents, who spent last weekend successfully negotiating personal terms.
    The 25-year-old is now a couple of days away from being confirmed as an Arsenal player until 2027
    Liverpool ‘confident’ of signing Bellingham
    Liverpool are confident Leeds star Kalvin Phillips’ proposed move to Manchester City leaves them in pole position to land Borussia Dortmund ace Jude Bellingham.
    However there is still likely to be a tug-of-war between the Reds and City to land Bellingham in the summer.
    But there is growing confidence at Anfield that the Citizens’ imminent £45million signing of Phillips means the Merseysiders are favourites to sign the Dortmund star.
    Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp always planned to make a striker his marquee transfer this summer and has successfully landed Darwin Nunez for a record £85m to replace Sadio Mane

confident of Jude Bellingham transfer EXCLUSIVE, Bale CONFIRMS move
    The North London club have already made three signings this window but are still looking to make more signings to appease Antonio Conte.
    Ivan Perisic and Fraser Forster arrived on free transfers earlier in the window, while Yves Bissouma cost £25m from Brighton.

    But it’s reckoned he has just three viable destinations due to his eye-watering £850,000-a-week wages.
    Premier League trio United, Chelsea and Newcastle are the only teams with the money for a transfer.
    Juventus have also been linked but the Brazilian is beyond their pay grade.
    Neymar would be open to an English switch after turning 30 in February.
    But reports claim PSG must sell him by Friday or risk his contract being automatically extended until 2027.

    How Chelsea could line up next season with Cristiano Ronaldo in attack as ‘Man Utd star’s agent holds transfer talks’

    CHELSEA could remarkably begin the 2022/23 season with Cristiano Ronaldo leading the line at Stamford Bridge.Shocking reports emerged on Saturday that the Portuguese superstar’s agent Jorge Mendes met with new Blues owner Todd Boehly last week and discussed a possible move for his client.

    Ronaldo is thought to be happy to stay at Manchester United for the beginning of a new era under Erik ten Hag.
    However, he is also reportedly concerned about the lack of summer transfer business the Red Devils have managed so far – with not a single player arriving.
    And the links to Chelsea have raised many eyebrows, not least from Blues supporters who will be pondering how Ronaldo’s arrival would leave their starting line-up.
    The ex-Real Madrid and Juventus man would undoubtedly be the focal point of the attack – particularly given the recent departure of Romelu Lukaku as he returned to Inter Milan on loan.

discuss Cristiano Ronaldo transfer with agent, new Sterling bid
    He could well be joined by two more new forward players either side of him in the form of Raheem Sterling and Ousmane Dembele.
    Manchester City man Sterling is said to be near the top of Thomas Tuchel’s wishlist as he looks to entice the England international into a move to London.
    And Barcelona star Dembele is another player being closely monitored by Chelsea as his contract at the Nou Camp expires later this month.
    This could prove bad news for both Timo Werner and Kai Havertz.

    FREE BETS AND SIGN UP DEALS – BEST NEW CUSTOMER OFFERS
    In the midfield, Tuchel still has a plethora of options to choose from including Mateo Kovacic, N’Golo Kante, Ruben Loftus-Cheek, Jorginho and Mason Mount – who can also play in the front three.
    Jorginho has been linked with a move away this summer, although he does not appear to be close to leaving at this time.
    Edouard Mendy will almost certainly remain Tuchel’s No1 in between the sticks.
    But the defence is preparing for a shake-up.
    Andreas Christensen and Antonio Rudiger have both already left on free transfers.
    And Cesar Azpilicueta and Marcos Alonso could follow them in the coming weeks.
    Juventus and Holland centre-back Matthijs de Ligt has been linked with a move to Chelsea – though they will have to fend off interest from Man Utd.
    Reece James, Thiago Silva and Trevoh Chalobah are expected to keep their places.
    But, with the potential loss of Alonso and Ben Chilwell continuing to recover from his cruciate injury, Chelsea are looking at the possibility of signing Stuttgart left-back Borna Sosa.
    If all five transfers are completed then the Blues will once again be considered Premier League title contenders alongside the ever-present Manchester City and Liverpool. More

    Fans are saying the same thing as Gerard Pique is spotted at Wimbledon carrying Chelsea bag

    BARCELONA defender Gerard Pique has been spotted walking around Wimbledon – holding a bag brought from Chelsea’s megastore. The 35-year-old, who recently split from partner Shakira, is enjoying his holiday ahead of the start of the world famous tennis tournament.

    He has reportedly been told he is surplus to requirements at the Nou Camp by former team-mate, and now manager, Xavi Hernandez.
    As it would happen, Chelsea are also in the market for centre-backs following the departures of Antonio Rudiger and Andreas Christensen on free transfers.
    The merging of these two factors on top of the pictures have gotten fans talking about a potential transfer.
    One user commented: “Welcome to Chelsea.”

    Tuchel on Cristiano Ronaldo
    Chelsea boss Thomas Tuchel has previously gushed over reported target Cristiano Ronaldo.
    Upon the Portuguese’s return to Manchester United last year, Tuchel said: “I don’t think it’s good if he plays for any of our rivals!
    “If he ends up in the Premier League, it’s good for the Premier League and shows how competitive and how difficult this league is.
    “At the same time it will make life harder for us. I’m hearing it now for the first time so let’s wait and see what happens.”
    More on Neymar
    Manchester United, Chelsea and Newcastle are the only transfer options for Neymar this summer.
    That’s as the Brazilian reportedly considers his future after being left fuming with Paris Saint-Germain chief Nasser Al-Khelaifi.
    RMC Sport claims Neymar is thinking of leaving the French capital this summer, five years after his world record £200million move from Barcelona.
    It’s reckoned he has just three viable destinations due to his £600,000-a-week wages.
    Premier League trio United, Chelsea and Newcastle are the only teams with the money for a transfer.
    Juventus have also been linked but the Brazilian is beyond their pay grade.
    Neymar would be open to an English switch after turning 30 in February.
    Neymar could make Prem switch
    PSG star Neymar is being tipped to make a move to the Premier League next season.

    Camp by former teammate, and now manager, Xavi Hernandez.
    As it would happen, Chelsea are also in the market for centre-backs following the departures of Antonio Rudiger and Andreas Christensen on free transfers.

    One user commented: “Welcome to Chelsea,” while another said: “Safe to say Gerard is a blue.”
    Real Madrid track Kimpembe
    Real Madrid are reportedly tracking PSG defender Presnel Kimpembe.

    Inter ‘make push for Bremer’

    Dembele ‘unhappy with Chelsea offer’

    And he’s considering remaining at Barcelona as a result of the Blues’ underwhelming proposition.

    This could be good news for Man United who were previously linked with the winger.
    Lewandowski to Barcelona ‘nears completion’
    Robert Lewandowski will complete his move to Barcelona this week, according to reports.
    Bayern reportedly want £43m for the Poland international.
    And Lewandowski’s agent, Pini Zahavi has held talks with both Barca and Bayern to ensure a deal gets done in the coming days, Sport reported.
    The news will come as a blow to Chelsea who asked to be kept informed on Lewandowski’s future.
    Juventus’ De Ligt demand
    Juventus want Chelsea to pay cash for Matthijs de Ligt along with Timo Werner.

    Gilmour makes Liverpool admission
    Chelsea and Scotland wonderkid Billy Gilmour once revealed he wore a LIVERPOOL shirt at home.
    When asked if he wears a jersey of another team, the teenager told the Chelsea website in 2020: “It was probably Andy Robertson’s Liverpool shirt when I swapped with him after the recent FA Cup game.
    “I wear that sometimes at the moment, just out in the garden playing football.”
    Broja to West Ham discussed
    West Ham will pull off a “real coup” if they can persuade Chelsea to sell Armando Broja this summer.
    That’s according to sports journalist Peter O’Rourke, who to Give Me Sport: “It’ll be interesting to see what Chelsea do decide to do with him this summer because, obviously, we all know of their striking issues as well.
    “I think Broja would be a real coup for West Ham if they were able to sign the Albanian international because he proved at Southampton that he is good enough to play in the Premier League.”
    Ziyech linked with Everton
    Hakim Ziyech could end up at Everton with former Chelsea boss Frank Lampard this summer.
    Ziyech reportedly handed the Blues his transfer request, and the club are open to letting him leave.
    And football journalist Dean Jones reckons Everton could make a move for the winger.
    He said to Give Me Sport: “The changes at Chelsea are likely to lead to Ziyech looking for a new club, and Everton are one side keeping an eye on the terms around any exit.
    “Generally, Frank Lampard is being linked with all the homegrown players from Chelsea, but I’ve been told he’ll be interested in Ziyech too if the player is keen to stay in the Premier League.”
    United rule out Ronaldo transfer
    Furious Man United chiefs have told Cristiano Ronaldo he’s not going anywhere amid interest from Chelsea.
    Ronaldo’s agent Jorge Mendes allegedly met with the Blues over a potential move for the disgruntled attacker.
    But the Mirror claim United have vetoed any possible exit for Ronaldo.
    The publication claim a source told them: “Cristiano is not for sale. We want – and fully expect – him to be with us next season.”
    Good morning Chelsea fans
    Chelsea owner Todd Boehly held a meeting with the agent of Manchester United star Cristiano Ronaldo, Jorge Mendes, in Portugal last week.
    The Blues owner has stepped in as an interim director of football to help the club with its transfers after transfer guru Marina Granovskaia and chairman Bruce Buck departed earlier this week.
    The Manchester United star’s future is far from decided with the player being linked with a move away from Old Trafford.
    And according to The Athletic, Ronaldo’s future at United as well as a potential move to Chelsea was discussed when Boehly met Mendes in Portugal last week.
    The 37-year-old Portugal international has 12 months remaining on the two-year deal he signed when rejoining Man Utd last summer.
    Chelsea are in the market for a forward this summer with club record signing Romelu Lukaku set to return to Inter Milan on loan.
    But as things stand, United intend to keep the legendary forward.
    Elsewhere, it has been suggested that Chelsea are the club ‘best placed’ to land Ousmane Dembele when his contract expires at Barcelona.
    Marca claims Dembele is edging ever closer to leaving the Nou Camp when his deal expires after Xavi’s late play to keep the Frenchman looks to be too little, too late.
    Reserve goalkeeper Kepa Arrizabalaga has also declared his intention to get more game time, hinting at a possible exit from Stamford Bridge.
    Chelsea Dembele latest
    Chelsea are best-placed to sign Ousmane Dembele on a free transfer this summer.
    That’s because Thomas Tuchel is reportedly pushing hard for the Barcelona star.
    Marca claims Dembele is edging ever closer to leaving the Nou Camp when his deal expires.
    Xavi Hernandez made a late play to keep the Frenchman this week with a new contract offer.
    But it’s believed to be too little, too late.
    And Dembele is now set for a fresh start elsewhere.
    Ronaldo to Chelsea context
    Chelsea are in the market for a forward this summer with club record signing Romelu Lukaku set to return to Inter Milan on loan.
    Manchester United’s failure to get into the Champions League and lack of transfer market activity has led to rumours which indicate Ronaldo could be open to leaving the club.
    However, as it stands United intend to keep the legendary forward with Ronaldo also insisting he is ” happy” at United.
    Ronaldo agent meets Chelsea owner
    New Chelsea owner Todd Boehly reportedly met with Cristiano Ronaldo’s agent Jorge Mendes in Portugal last week.
    The Manchester United star’s future is far from undecided with the player being linked with a move away from Old Trafford.
    Despite hitting 24 goals across all competitions last season, Ronaldo was unable to drag United to a top-four finish.
    The Red Devils had to settle for a sixth and the Europa League instead.
    And according to The Athletic, Ronaldo’s future was discussed when Chelsea owner Boehly met Mendes in Portugal last week.
    Chelsea ‘best placed’ to complete Dembele deal
    Chelsea are currently ‘best placed’ to sign Barcelona winger Ousmane Dembele.
    Blues boss Thomas Tuchel is said to be ‘pushing’ to secure a deal for the French winger, whose contract with the Spanish giants is set to expire.
    The club’s transfer activities are now down to Tuchel and new owner Todd Boehly after the departure’s of chairman Bruce Buck and transfer guru Marina Granovskaia.
    Kepa warns of Chelsea exit
    Kepa Arrizabalaga has warned “I want to play” ahead of a potential Chelsea exit this summer.
    The goalkeeper has found himself largely on the sidelines since Edouard Mendy’s Stamford Bridge arrival in 2020.
    Kepa, 27, lost his place after a number of blunder-filled performances, but he believes that he is now deserving of another shot at being a No1.
    Asked about a potential exit, he added: “Right now I am a Chelsea player.
    “But what I am clear about is that I want to play more, because I come from a year or two where, when I have played, I have had a great performance.
    “I am not desperate. In the end, I’m at a great club… I’ll talk to the coach and we’ll decide, but with the clear message that I want to play more.”

    Lukaku ‘to raise Serie A standards’
    Romelu Lukaku has been tipped to raise the standards of the Serie A if he returns to Inter Milan.
    That’s the view of Lazio striker Ciro Immobile, who said: “I don’t think about records. I will certainly realise the extent of what I have done in the world of football once I stop playing. It’s clear that we mustn’t rest or give up.
    “With Lukaku back in Italy, the level of our league is raised, I will have to continually do my best. Now I only have the next objectives in my head.”
    Barca to ‘withdraw Dembele offer’
    Barcelona are reportedly considering withdrawing Ousmane Dembele’s contract offer.
    Dembele will be a free agent next week, and Barca want to keep hold of the winger.
    But the Catalan giants may pull the plug on negotiations with Dembele because he’s in contact with other clubs, the report adds.
    However, the issue is causing a split at the club as some personnel want Dembele to stay put, the report adds.
    Chelsea and Man United are two of the team’s Dembele’s been in talks with recently.
    Arsenal given Lukaku advice
    Arsenal have been urged to sign Romelu Lukaku instead of Gabriel Jesus.
    That’s the view of Darren Bent who reckons Lukaku is more prolific than Jesus.
    He told talkSPORT: “Lukaku, I would.
    “I’ve seen him score goals regularly. He’s in the 100 club!”

    That’s as the Brazilian reportedly considers his future after being left fuming with Paris Saint-Germain chief Nasser Al-Khelaifi.
    RMC Sport claims Neymar is thinking of leaving the French capital this summer, five years after his world record £200million move from Barcelona.
    It’s reckoned he has just three viable destinations due to his £600,000-a-week wages.
    Premier League trio United, Chelsea and Newcastle are the only teams with the money for a transfer.
    Juventus have also been linked but the Brazilian is beyond their pay grade.
    Neymar would be open to an English switch after turning 30 in February.
    Ten Hag budget plans
    Erik ten Hag starts work on Monday facing an Old Trafford cash squeeze that threatens to hamper his re-building plans, exclusively writes SunSport’s Ken Lawrence.
    The Dutchman still hopes to team up again with Frenkie de Jong as early as this week.
    Manchester United believe they are now closing in on a £67million deal with Barcelona for the midfielder who spent 18 months working under Ten Hag’s former club Ajax.
    But while CEO Richard Arnold told fans in a recent pub meeting that money was “not a consideration” in this summer’s transfer market, he will still not provide Ten Hag with an open cheque book.
    Neymar could make Prem switch
    PSG star Neymar is being tipped to make a move to the Premier League next season.
    That’s because only Man United, Chelsea, and Newcastle can afford to buy the Brazilian, according to RMC.

    West Ham ‘sign Alphonse Areola’

    The Athletic are reporting Areola, 29, will join West Ham after the club activated the option to buy clause agreed in his initial loan.
    SunSport reported on Friday the Frenchman was on the verge of a £10.5million move with just personal terms to iron out.

    Fulham are hopeful of confirming the signing of Joao Palhinha in the next 72 hours.
    After hijacking Wolves’ approach for the 26-year-old Sporting Lisbon midfielder, the Cottagers want to get a deal over the line as quickly as possible.
    And SunSport understands that Palhinha will return from his holiday on Monday and head straight to west London with a view to completing the switch on a five-year deal.
    This transfer saga began at the beginning of this month with Wolves confident they would nab Palhinha for around £20million after advanced talks.
    However, Palhinha’s involvement in the Nations League with Portugal – as well as Wolves’ failing attempts to sell Ruben Neves – saw the move stall.
    Fulham pounced, with boss Marco Silva speaking with Palhinha directly on the phone to convince him to snub Molineux for Craven Cottage.
    Inter ‘willing to sell Correa’
    Inter Milan are willing to sell Arsenal transfer target Joaquin Correa, reports claim.
    And he could end up at Newcastle who are the only club currently interested in the attacker, according to Gazzetta Dello Sport.

    The publication claim Correa’s been valued at £21.5m.

    Sadio Mane didn’t leave Liverpool to join Bayern Munich for money, according to his Public Relations agent.
    Mane’s PR rep, Bacary Cisse, told TV5Monde: “Those are false rumours. We didn’t want to talk about that.
    “A player of Sadio’s caliber can’t be earning the salary that people are speaking about. The numbers circulating are completely wrong.
    “Sadio was already earning more than that when he joined Liverpool from Southampton. He extended his contract in 2018 and his salary was much higher than the numbers circulating in the media.”
    Lingard to West Ham ‘complete’
    Jesse Lingard is on the brink of returning to West Ham on a permanent basis.
    Lingard spent the first half of last season on loan with the Hammers before returning to United.

    Real Madrid are reportedly tracking PSG defender Presnel Kimpembe.

    Chelsea and Arsenal were linked with Kimpembe in the past.

    Chelsea are lurking in the shadows incase his move to Spain falls through.
    Inter ‘make push for Bremer’

    The publication claims Inter CEO Beppe Marotta is set to jet to Torino to negotiate with their Serie A counterparts over Bremer.
    Burnley complete Twine transfer
    Burnley have completed the signing of MK Dons star Scott Twine.
    Twine has joined Burnley on a four-year contract from MK Dons, Sky Sports reported.
    However, the amount Burnley have paid for Twine is yet to be revealed.
    Twine’s arrival will be huge boost for Burnley as he was named the EFL Player of the Season in the last campaign, scoring 20 goals along with 13 assists.
    Dembele ‘unhappy with Chelsea offer’
    Ousmane Demebele is reportedly unhappy with Chelsea’s contract offer.
    And he’s considering remaining at Barcelona as a result of the Blues’ underwhelming proposition.
    That’s according to Sport, who claim Chelsea’s simultaneous pursuit of Raheem Sterling has hampered the amount they could offer Dembele.

    “It’s done deal for salary around €8m net per season plus add-ons.”
    Ronaldo ‘offered to Roma’
    Cristiano Ronaldo has been offered to Roma by agent Jorge Mendes, reports claim.
    Ronaldo ostensibly wants to leave United, and Mendes has approached Roma to see if they will take the attacker, according to La Gazzetta dello Sport.
    However, United will not let Ronaldo leave this summer, it was reported on Sunday.
    PSG ‘must sell Neymar soon’
    PSG must sell Neymar by Friday or see his £600,000-a-week contract extend to 2027, according to reports.
    The Brazilian penned a new deal in May last year, although PSG chiefs are now no longer sure that they want to move forward with the former Barcelona ace.
    The world’s most expensive player is under contract until 2026, although it’s claimed that a clause in the deal will trigger an extra year on July 1.
    That would mean PSG are committed to paying him another year of his £31.2m salary, until he was 35.
    According to Sky Sports, PSG are looking for a buyer to take Neymar off their hands.
    His £600k-a-week wages are putting potential suitors off, however.
    De Jong to United complete
    Man United will complete the signing of Barcelona star Frenkie de Jong in the next few days, reports claim.
    The Red Devils have agreed a fee around £68m for the midfielder, according to talkSPORT.
    The report states the transfer will be wrapped up by June 30.
    He will become United’s first signing of the summer thus far.
    Liverpool ‘confident of Bellingham transfer’
    Liverpool are confident Kalvin Phillips’ proposed move to Manchester City leaves them in pole position to land Jude Bellingham.
    However there is still likely to be a tug-of-war between the Premier League’s big two to land the midfielder next summer.
    There is growing confidence at Anfield that Man City’s imminent £45million signing of Leeds ace Phillips means the Reds are favourites to sign Bellingham.
    Klopp always planned to make a striker his marquee transfer this summer and has successfully landed Benfica’s Darwin Nunez for £85million to replace Sadio Mane.
    Next summer’s plans are already being drawn up with Bellingham and another central midfielder top of their shopping list.
    Forest close in double swoop
    Nottingham Forest are closing in on Liverpool’s Neco Williams and Morgan Gibbs-White from Wolves.
    The £35million double swoop comes after they nabbed Union Berlin’s Taiwo Awoniyi in a club-record £17.2m move.
    Right-back Williams favours Forest over a return to Fulham, where he spent four months on loan last season.
    The Wales star, 21, is valued at £15m and Forest boss Steve Cooper wants him after on-loan Middlesbrough star Djed Spence started talking to other clubs.
    The Premier League new-boys are also being encouraged to go for Gibbs-White, 22, who is due to give Wolves an answer on his future soon.
    Forest could pay about £20m for the midfielder and Wanderers may reluctantly accept.
    United rule out Ronaldo transfer
    Furious Man United chiefs have told Cristiano Ronaldo he’s not going anywhere amid interest from Chelsea.
    Ronaldo’s agent Jorge Mendes allegedly met with the Blues over a potential move for the disgruntled attacker.
    But the Mirror claim United have vetoed any possible exit for Ronaldo.
    The publication claim a source told them: “Cristiano is not for sale. We want – and fully expect – him to be with us next season.”
    Liverpool get Saka advice
    Now’s the perfect time for Liverpool to make a move for Bukayo Saka, according to ex-Red Jose Enrique.
    Enrique reckons the Reds may never get a better opportunity to snag the England international as the Gunners chase Leeds ace Raphinha.
    Enrique said in a Twitter exchange: “He is a great player but if I’m not wrong Saka is in one or two years left ?
    “Now that it looks that they are going to sign Raphinha maybe is the best moment to go for him.”
    Bale confirms LAFC transfer
    Gareth Bale has CONFIRMED his shock move to Los Angeles FC.
    The Wales winger, 32, left Real Madrid at the end of his contract earlier this month.
    For months there have been suggestions Bale could retire or return to hometown club Cardiff.
    But Bale has put the rumours to bed after confirming he is joining LAFC on Twitter.
    Sharing a video of himself in the club’s black and gold, Bale wrote: “See you soon, Los Angeles.”
    Good morning football fans
    Sporting Lisbon have contacted Manchester United star Cristiano Ronaldo over the possibility of a shock transfer.
    The Sun on Sunday understands bosses at Sporting, where Ronaldo played 25 league games before signing for United in 2003, believe they can lure him back to Lisbon.
    United also fell flat in their efforts to sign Derby County’s Malcolm Ebiowei after Crystal Palace sporting director Dougie Freedman drove him to his medical with the Eagles.
    New Chelsea owner Todd Boehly reportedly met with Ronaldo’s agent, Jorge Mendes, in Portugal last week and discussed the 37-year-old’s future and the possibility of a transfer.
    Chelsea are the club who are ‘best placed’ to sign Ousmane Dembele as he edges ever closer to leaving the Nou Camp, according to Marca, with Xavi’s late offer to keep the Frenchman too little, too late.
    Ronaldo’s former Real Madrid teammate Gareth Bale has agreed agreed to join MLS side Los Angeles FC after posting a video on his social media page wearing an LAFC shirt.
    The Wales captain, who turns 33 next month, is set to sign an initial one-year deal with an option to extend it by a further 18 months when the MLS transfer window reopens on July 7.
    Bale’s former club Tottenham have suffered a blown in their pursuit of Middlesbrough defender Djed Spence.
    Talks have been taking place for weeks but the two clubs are still way-off agreeing a fee with the North East team demanding £15 million plus add-ons – a price Spurs are unwilling to climb to.
    North London rivals Arsenal are stepping up their efforts to sign Leeds United winger Raphinha after agreeing a £45million fee for Man City forward Gabriel Jesus.
    Meanwhile, newly-promoted Nottingham Forest are close to completing the double signings of Liverpool’s Neco Williams and Wolves Morgan Gibbs-White for a combined £35million.
    Liverpool also now believe themselves to be the front-runners to sign Jude Bellingham due to Man City’s imminent acquisition of Kalvin Phillips.
    Liverpool lead race for Bellingham
    Liverpool are confident Kalvin Phillips’ proposed move to Manchester City leaves them in pole position to land Jude Bellingham.
    However there is still likely to be a tug-of-war between the Premier League’s big two to land the midfielder next summer.
    Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp is a huge fan of the Borussia Dortmund star and has already earmarked him as his top target in 12 months time.
    But Pep Guardiola is an equally big admirer of the 18-year-old and hopes Bellingham’s friendship with new signing Erling Haaland can sway an eventual deal their way.
    There is growing confidence at Anfield that Man City’s imminent £45million signing of Leeds ace Phillips means the Reds are favourites to sign Bellingham.
    Manchester United are a distant third in the race for his signature with Erik ten Hag’s transfer plans still being finalised.
