      PSG ‘want to close transfer for Man Utd star Paul Pogba this summer’ but must first shift deadwood

      PARIS SAINT-GERMAIN reportedly want to ‘close out’ a deal to sign Manchester United star Paul Pogba.The French midfielder is yet to agree a new deal at Old Trafford – he has one more season to run.

      According to French newspaper L’Equipe, PSG ‘would like to close the purchase of Pogba in the next few weeks’.
      It is reportedly ‘the dream’ for president Nasser Al-Khelaifi who wants to ‘build the team around Pogba’.
      The French giants have already signed Sergio Ramos, Achraf Hakimi, Gio Wijnaldum and Gianluigi Donnarumma this summer.
      But the Ligue 1 runners-up will have to ship out some players first. United will still expect a big fee despite the 28-year-old having a year left on his contract.
      And Pogba, who was France’s best player at the Euros, is believed to take home around £290,000 a week at United.
      PSG are growing increasingly confident of sealing a move this summer.
      According to French publication RMC, the 28-year-old is ‘more than open’ to the idea of leaving United for the French capital.
      United could be forced to cash in on his signature this summer or risk losing him for nothing in 12 month’s time.

      That would be a last resort for Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s side who forked out £89million to bring him back to Old Trafford from Juventus in 2016.
      Pogba was linked with a move away from United last summer but a £150million price-tag put off potential suitors.
      Now his value is likely to have dropped to only around a third of that.
      United are open to raising cash to bolster their own squad having already forked out £73m to sign Jadon Sancho.
      Pogba has also been linked with a return to Juventus, as well as joining Spanish giants Real Madrid.

      And Real are open to selling as those funds could go towards a deal for Varane’s international teammate Kylian Mbappe.
      United are known to big fans of centre-back Varane.
      The defender has just one year left on his Bernabeu contract.
      And Varane has reportedly told Real he wants to leave for a new adventure.
      United are now thought to be getting closer to a deal, with Carlo Ancelotti’s side ready to sell.
      They have already made moves allowing for Varane’s departure by handing Nacho a new three-year deal.
      David Alaba has also been snapped up on a free transfer from Bayern Munich.
      And Varane could now be set to join former defensive partner Sergio Ramos out of the door at Real.

      It’s believed Los Blancos are looking for £43million for the centre-back.
      And it’s a fee United are willing to pay, with Ole Gunnar Solskjaer already splashing £73m on Borussia Dormtund winger Jadon Sancho.
      The funds banked from Varane’s exit would apparently go into a transfer kitty exclusively for Paris Saint-Germain striker Mbappe.
      The 22-year-old is said to be Real’s ‘dream’ transfer target, even more so than Dortmund’s Erling Haaland.
      And should they collect enough cash from outgoings and saved salaries, Real could launch their audacious move for Mbappe this summer.
      But should PSG price them out of a move, Real are happy to wait until next summer when the forward is out of contract and available for nothing.

      But according to Calcio Mercato, Lazio club president Claudio Lotito will demand £85m for the Serbian.
      Contract talks between Lazio and Milinkovic-Savic’s representatives are said to be on ‘standby’.
      But he does still have three years remaining on his current deal.
      Milinkovic-Savic, 26, ‘dreams’ of a move to Real Madrid one day, with thhe 21-cap international born in Spain.
      But a move doesn’t make sense for Los Blancos this year.
      Liverpool are chasing a replacement for Georginio Wijnaldum. The Dutch midfielder, 30, opted to turn down a new contract at Anfield in favour of joining Mauricio Pochettino at Paris Saint-Germain.

      Man Utd still need three or four world class transfer signings to compete for Prem title despite Sancho, says Paul Ince

      Yet the Europa League finalists have already ramped up negotiations for France pair Raphael Varane and Eduardo Camavinga.
      And ex-United player Ince revealed it is about time his old club got their palyer recruitment right.
      He told Paddy Power: “United still need three or four more quality signings to be title contenders.
      “It’s great that Edinson Cavani’s signed for another year, but he won’t play every game at his age, even if he wants to – they need a centre forward.
      They need another centre back and a world-class central midfielder, and they must be top playersPaul Ince on Manchester United
      “They need another centre back and a world-class central midfielder, and they must be top players.
      “United’s recruitment in recent years has been poor. They spent £40million on Donny van de Beek, who’s hardly played, it doesn’t make sense.
      “It’s about time United got their player recruitment right. They want attacking football and signing Sancho is the excitement going forward that they’ve been longing for.”
      While Ince did call for more signings at United this summer, the 53-year-old did hail Sancho’s arrival as a huge step in the right direction.

      He added: “Sancho is heading to Manchester United, and fans should be excited. United have been coveting Sancho for a while. Look at his goals and displays for Borussia Dortmund these last two years!
      “The fans know they’ve got an exciting player, a natural winger. He’s like Andrei Kanchelskis, a player who wants to get the ball and beat someone.
      “Sancho likes to drift inside, as we have seen for England, and he’s extremely comfortable on the ball whilst scoring goals. He’s a superb acquisition.”

      Man Utd star Paul Pogba has ‘never been close’ to Juventus transfer return, claims ex-sporting director Fabio Paritici

      Juventus had long been linked with another swoop for the 2018 World Cup winner, particularly with Massimiliano Allegri back in the hot seat.
      Allegri and Pogba won two successive Serie A titles together before the midfielder returned to United in an £89million move in 2016.

      But new Tottenham managing director Paratici has revealed there was never a moment when the 28-year-old was close to joining Juve again.
      He told Sky Sports: “Paul Pogba back to Juventus? I think it is very difficult.
      “There has never been a moment in which we have been close to taking him back.”
      The news will come as a massive boost to United – who were considering making Pogba the highest-paid player in the Premier League.
      SunSport recently revealed that the Red Devils are willing to offer him a staggering £400,000 a week over the next five years.
      Pogba’s new pay packet would eclipse the £375k a week which United team-mate David de Gea earns.

      Yet should the French ace refuse to agree new terms then the club may be forced to cash in on him next summer rather than risk losing him for free.
      It was previously reported that Paris Saint-Germain have made contact with Pogba’s representatives over a potential blockbuster move.
      The Europa League finalist was also mentioned in a swap deal with Real Madrid that would see compatriot Raphael Varane head the other way.

      Arsenal, Man Utd and Liverpool have all been linked with the French midfielder.
      And Get French Football News claim he hasn’t been seen for days despite Lyon saying he is not sick.
      The report adds that Aouar is unhappy that Memphis Depay left on a free to join Barcelona.
      He has been at the club since 2009 and risen through the ranks to the first team.
      Aouar was named in the Champions League squad of the season in 2019-20 and made his international debut last October.
      He is under contract at Ligue 1 side Lyon for two more years.
      But Lyon’s failure to qualify for the Champions League means they could lose him on the cheap having demanded £55million for his services.
      SunSport understands that Arsenal are readying a contract worth £100k-a-week to lure the midfielder to the Emirates at the second time of asking.

      However, Arsenal are currently leading the race as they look to bolster their creative attacking options ahead of the new season.
      Speaking before Lyon’s last game of the season, Aouar admitted: “This could be my last game for the club.”

      Man Utd line up Jules Kounde as Raphael Varane transfer alternative but Sevilla demand £60m for defender

      by

      MANCHESTER UNITED will try and sign Sevilla defender Jules Kounde if they can’t get Raphael Varane, according to reports.The 22-year-old is believed to have been identified as an alternative to the Real Madrid star – but his £60million price tag could be a stumbling block.

      According to Spanish newspaper AS, Sevilla will let Kounde leave the club to raise some much-needed transfer funds.
      The LaLiga side are said to want €70m for the France international – around £60m – but have received no bids close to that amount.
      Manchester City are believed to have made a £55m bid for Kounde in September 2020 before signing Ruben Dias from Benfica.
      It proved to be a wise move from Pep Guardiola’s side as Dias helped them win the Premier League, receiving the FWA, Prem and City Player of the Year awards.
      Real Madrid are rumoured to be one of the clubs interested in signing Kounde – but that move hinges on Varane’s future.
      The 28-year-old reportedly wants to leave the Bernabeu this summer and the Spanish giants may accept a bid as low as £40m.
      Varane’s current deal expires next summer and it is believed Real would prefer to sell him and generate funds to sign Kounde.
      United are the favourites to buy the four-time Champions League winner and he’s rumoured to have ‘given his word’ to joining the club.

      But if a move for Varane was to collapse, United would reportedly turn their attention to signing Kounde.
      Kounde has been linked with several clubs during the last few months, including Chelsea and Tottenham.
      The centre-back helped Sevilla win the Europa League final in August 2020 and made 34 LaLiga appearances last term.
      He was also part of France’s squad for Euro 2020, making his debut against Wales in June.
      The Red Devils have already agreed one of the biggest transfers of the summer – luring Borussia Dortmund winger Jadon Sancho to Old Trafford.
      United are also rumoured to be offering England defender Luke Shaw a new contract soon following his excellent form at Euro 2020.
