      And Fabrizio Romano claims United will then look to secure the long-term future of talisman Fernandes after opening initial contract talks in May.
      The Portuguese playmaker still has four years left on his current deal.
      But United want to hand Fernandes a bumper pay rise to thank him for his incredible contribution over the past 18 months.
      The ace only moved to Old Trafford from Sporting Lisbon in January 2020 for £47million.
      But Fernandes has already clocked up 26 goals and 18 assists in the Premier League during that time.
      United are now eager to ensure his head isn’t turned by giving him the wage he deserves.
      However, the Red Devils are sure to continue scouring the market for new signings.
      Indeed, reports claim United are close to a £43m deal for Real Madrid defender Raphael Varane.

      The French centre-back’s Bernabeu contract expires next year, and United look set to snap him up for a bargain price.
      However, a stunning Old Trafford return for Cristiano Ronaldo appears unlikely.
      Juventus claim he has not demanded a transfer exit, contrary to reports.
      And they are also keen for him to stay and see out the final year of his contract in Italy.

      Man Utd ‘close in’ on Raphael Varane transfer with Solskjaer confident of landing Real Madrid ace in cut-price £43m deal

      MANCHESTER UNITED are reportedly closing in on a deal for Real Madrid star Raphael Varane.ESPN claim the Red Devils have received encouragement over a transfer for the France World Cup winner following a deal for Jadon Sancho.

      The report adds that Varane is Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s top defensive target and Madrid are prepared to negotiate a realistic fee for the 28-year-old.
      United are already said to have held “some discussions” for the centre-back – whose contract at the Bernabeu is due to expire in June 2022.

      And the club’s efforts to sign Varane have stepped up following France’s surprise round-of-16 exit at Euro 2020 against Switzerland.
      United are reportedly confident that a deal can be done for around £43m – a sharp decrease from Madrid’s initial £60m valuation.
      French international Varane joined the Spanish giants from Lens way back in 2011 for just £8.5million.
      It has been claimed that the four-time Champions League winner is keen on linking up with the Red Devils.
      Yet it remains to be seen whether Madrid will allow Varane to leave following Sergio Ramos’ exit this summer.
      Los Blancos have already secured the arrival of David Alaba on a free transfer from Bayern Munich and further player salaes would be needed to fund Carlo Ancelotti’s rebuild.

      Madrid have already been linked with moves for Leicester star Wesley Fofana and Villarreal’s defender Pau Torres to replace Varane.
      Europa League winner Torres was previously considered by United as an alternative target to partner Harry Maguire next season.
      The Old Trafford outfit completed their first major piece of business today by signing Borussia Dortmund star Jadon Sancho for £73m.

      That will see his wages more than trebled from the £100,000-per-week deal he is on at Dortmund.
      And it will also see Sancho – who will pen a five-year deal – among the very best-paid players in Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s squad.

      David De Gea continues to top the list, raking in £375,000 per week – totalling £19.5million a year.
      But Sancho would slide in ahead of Paul Pogba, with the Frenchman earning £290,000 per week.
      Anthony Martial (£250k), Edinson Cavani (£210k) and Marcus Rashford (£200k) are the others who break the £200,000-a-week barrier.
      Captain Harry Maguire pockets £190,000 per week while two-time United player-of-the-year Bruno Fernandes gets £180,000.
      In fact, 14 first-team players all earn £100,000 or more per week, with the likes of Luke Shaw (£150k) and Fred (120k) next on the list.
      Sancho meanwhile is likely to be in direct competition with fellow England international Mason Greenwood on the right wing.

      United academy graduate Greenwood was rewarded for his continued development with improved £75k-a-week terms back in February.
      As of time of publishing, Juan Mata’s £160k terms are off the wage bill but the Spaniard remains in talks over a new deal at Old Trafford.
      But United are back paying Jesse Lingard £75,000 following the midfielder’s return from his loan at West Ham.

      ON THE PAUL
      Arsenal legend Emmanuel Petit has slammed Paul Pogba following France’s Euro 2020 exit as he claimed he ‘lost the plot’ against Switzerland.
      The World Cup champions crashed out at the last-16 stage after losing on penalties against Vladimir Petkovic’s men having squandered a two-goal lead.
      Pogba thought he had banged in the winner for Les Bleus after his curling strike from distance nestled into the top right corner to put his side 3-1 up.
      But a lapse in concentration moments later allowed Haris Seferovic to pull one back, before Mario Gavranovic fired in a dramatic stoppage time equaliser.
      Petit has hit out at his compatriots for their early exit, as he told Paddy Power: “There was one incident – Pogba lost the ball for the second Swiss goal – and France collapsed.
      “We lost everything. Concentration, team spirit, desire – and the tie. Worst of all, we started fighting on the pitch between ourselves. There was a big clash between Rabiot and Pogba, who lost the plot, after the second Swiss goal and from then on we had no control, no confidence.”

      NAL AND VOID
      Juventus insist Cristiano Ronaldo has not asked to leave this summer, dealing a blow to Manchester United and Paris Saint-Germain.
      Ronaldo, 36, has been strongly linked with a Turin exit three years after joining from Real Madrid.
      Former club Man Utd have been linked and French outfit PSG are also thought to be interested as they look to reclaim their Ligue 1 crown from Lille.
      And it’s believed Ronaldo is available for just £25m should there be any serious bids. However, Juventus chief Federico Cherubini claims he is ‘happy’ with Ronnie’s presence at the club.
      Cherubini said: “We’ve currently received no signal from Ronaldo to leave the club this summer.
      “Same from our side. We’re happy to have Cristiano back with us once the new season will start.”

      PEP’S JADON JACKPOT
      Manchester City will scoop £10million from Jadon Sancho’s £73m move to neighbours United.
      Etihad chiefs inserted a 15 per cent sell-on clause when Borussia Dortmund signed him in 2017.
      And although City were hoping the Bundesliga giants would hold on for nearer their original £120m asking price, Sancho’s valuation has steadily dipped over the past 12 months.
      Dortmund and the Red Devils each confirmed on Thursday that United’s third offer for the 21-year-old England winger had been accepted.

      JAY’S PAY DAY
      JadonSancho is to become Manchester United’s second-highest earner.

      The two clubs are have agreed the £73million transfer fee but, as revealed by SunSport, personal terms are already sorted.
      Sancho will pen a five-year deal at Old Trafford worth £91million – or £350,000 per week.
      That will see his wages more than trebled from the £100,000-per-week deal he is on at Dortmund.
      And it will also see him among the very best-paid players in Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s squad.

      The Red Devils are on the hunt for a new striker as a long-term No9 replacement for Romelu Lukaku.
      And they have identified the Everton front man as the ideal candidate.
      Calvert-Lewin, 24, enjoyed the best season of his career in 2020-21 with 21 goals in 39 appearances to be the Toffees’ crowned player of the year.
      That goal return tied him level with his England team-mate Marcus Rashford and four more than Edinson Cavani.
      Mason Greenwood grabbed 12 while Anthony Martial managed seven in a difficult campaign but Bruno Fernandes top scored with 28.

      RIO ON SANCHO
      Rio Ferdinand highlighted the strengths Sancho brings to Man Utd.
      Speaking on his official YouTube channel Ferdinand said: “On the right hand side, and the left hand side, we haven’t got a winger who goes on the outside.
      “Goes on the outside and crosses the ball. That’s what you need.
      “He can play right-wing, left-wing, he can go both ways, he plays with both feet. But on that right wing, as well as Mason [Greenwood] has done, and I’m a massive Mason Greenwood fan, out there having a winger.
      “This is Man United, always associated with wingers. Always have done over the years.
      “Any of our most successful times there’s been wide players who can go on the outside and cross the ball.
      “[Mason] wants goals, which is a good element, a good aspect, but Jadon gives you both options and for a full-back – terrible news.
      “The element of going on the outside, beating the full-back and crossing it and then the Mason Greenwood’s, the Cavani’s, the Rashford’s coming in from the other side, we should be getting more goals from those scenarios this season.
      “He will add to the attacking variety we have in a red shirt.”
      JAD ENOUGH
      Erling Haaland’s dad has posted a tongue-in-cheek X-rated tweet after finding out about Jadon Sancho’s £73million move to Manchester United, writes ETIENNE FERMIE.
      Alf-Inge, 48, watched his son Erling link up brilliantly with Sancho over the last 18 months.
      But the duo will be broken up, at least for now, with Sancho set to light it up Old Trafford.
      Replying to Fabrizio Romano’s confirmation of the deal being done, Alf-Inge replied: “F***. 🐝 But all the best @Sanchooo10.
      “You will be missed.”

      There isn’t expected to be any big outgoings this summer.

      SHAW’S FUTURE ASSURED
      Man Utd left-back Luke Shaw will be given a new contract, after his performances last season.
      Shaw has also played a key role in England’s successful Euros campaign, setting up Raheem Sterling’s opener against Germany on Tuesday.

      Chelsea And Man Utd have been interested in Rice for some time, but no formal moves have been made. 
      The Hammers are demanding as manager Moyes says, “Bank of England” money, to part ways with the England star.

      FRENCH CONNECTION
      Man Utd are closing in on a deal to sign Real Madrid centre-back Raphael Varane.
      According to ESPN, a deal is close to being finalised between the two clubs.
      United boss Ole Gunnar Solskjaer is keen to bring in a solid centre-back partner for club captain Harry Maguire.
      And the 28-year-old, four-time Champions League winner, appears to be the man Solskjaer wants.
      Varane is entering the last year of his contract at Real, and the Spanish giants risk losing him for free next summer if he doesn’t sign a new deal.
      The Frenchman could be sold this summer, to avoid making a loss.

      The French giants have already wasted little time in improving their squad this summer with some bargain additions.
      Italian goalkeeper Gianluigi Donnarumma is set to improve their goalkeeping situation by signing on a free transfer from AC Milan. 
      The 22-year-old has already played 251 times for the Italian side and earned 30 caps for his country. 
      He will be joined by Inter Milan right-back Achraf Hakimi who reportedly turned down Chelsea to join PSG.
      Mauricio Pochettino’s side forked out a whopping £59.8million for his signature after missing out on the title last season.
      Marquinhos and Presnel Kimpembe are likely to remain the rocks at the back with Layvin Kurzawa filling the left-back spot. 
      PSG could also welcome a new-look midfield of Paul Pogba and Georginio Wijnaldum. 
      Dutch international Wijnaldum has already signed on a free transfer from Liverpool while PSG are eager to press ahead with plans to sign Pogba. 
      According to Foot Mercato, PSG have opened talks with the player’s agent over his potential salary and will need to convince Manchester United to cash in.

      MORNING MAN UTD FANS
      Manchester United are finally close to completing the signing of Borussia Dortmund winger Jadon Sancho.
      It is understood that the Red Devils have agreed a £73m fee with the Bundesliga side plus add-ons.
      The England international is believed to have agreed on a contract until 2026 at Old Trafford.
      But in a blow for United, Chelsea have joined them in the race to sign Real Madrid centre-back Raphael Varane.
      According to Eurosport, the Blues could attempt to hijack a deal for France international Varane.
      In other news, United are claimed to be interested in signing Bayern Munich midfielder Leon Goretzka.
      According to German outlet Bild, United see Goretzka as an ideal replacement for Paul Poba should the Frenchman decide to leave Old Trafford.
      Pogba can negotiate a free transfer with other clubs in January 2022.
      And finally, Axel Tuanzebe could be en-route to Aston Villa for a third time this summer.
      The defender has already had two loan spells at Villa and they’re reportedly keen to make it a treble, according to Football Insider.
      They claim a Villa source told them that Dean Smith’s side have concrete interest in the 23-year-old, and will make a formal approach for him if given the green light.

      The Italian giants finally lost their grip on the Serie A title to Juventus.
      And with Ronnie having worked under three different bosses in as many years, it’s reckoned he is looking for a fresh start.
      Former club Man United have been linked with a stunning transfer this summer.
      That’s despite Ole Gunnar Solskjaer splashing out £73million on Borussia Dortmund winger Jadon Sancho today.
      French outfit PSG are also thought to be interested as they look to reclaim their Ligue 1 crown from Lille.
      And it’s believed Ronaldo is available for just £25m should there be any serious bids.
      However. Juventus chief Federico Cherubini claims he is ‘happy’ with Ronnie’s presence at the club.
      And Cherubini adds that the Portugal captain hasn’t even requested a transfer exit, meaning he’s likely to see out the final year of his contract in Italy.

      Ronaldo has scored 101 goals in just 133 games for Juventus.

      The two clubs are have agreed the £73million transfer fee but, as revealed by SunSport, personal terms are already sorted.
      Sancho will pen a five-year deal at Old Trafford worth £91million – or £350,000 per week.
      That will see his wages more than trebled from the £100,000-per-week deal he is on at Dortmund.
      And it will also see him among the very best-paid players in Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s squad.
      David De Gea remains the No1 – definitely on the wage bill and potentially between the sticks.
      The Spaniard gets a whopping £375,000 per week at Old Trafford.
      But Sancho looks set to jump ahead of the rest of the squad.
      That means Paul Pogba would drop to third on the list with the Frenchman earning £290,000 per week.

      Anthony Martial (£250k), Edinson Cavani (£210k) and Marcus Rashford (£200k) are the others who break the £200,000 barrier.
      Captain Harry Maguire pockets £190,000 per week while two-time United player-of-the-year Bruno Fernandes gets £180,000.
      Sancho is likely to be in direct competition with fellow England international Mason Greenwood on the right wing.
      But there is no comparison between the pair’s potential pay cheques, with the Red Devils academy graduate set to earn just a tenth of Sancho’s salary on £35,000 per week.
      Sancho is currently on international duty with England.
      But he is enduring a tough time at Euro 2020, playing just six minutes of football as a late substitute against Czech Republic.
      The winger, though, insists he is fully focused on the Three Lions despite the ongoing speculation surrounding his future and reportedly telling team-mates he will be making the switch to Old Trafford.
      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.”

      And they have identified the Everton front man as the ideal candidate.
      Calvert-Lewin, 24, enjoyed the best season of his career in 2020-21 with 21 goals in 39 appearances to be the Toffees’ crowned player of the year.
      That goal return tied him level with his England team-mate Marcus Rashford and four more than Edinson Cavani.
      Mason Greenwood grabbed 12 while Anthony Martial managed seven in a difficult campaign but Bruno Fernandes top scored with 28.
      United legend Rio Ferdinand believes his old club should target ‘fantastic’ Calvert-Lewin over other transfer targets Harry Kane and Erling Haaland.
      The ex-defender said: “Listen Dominic Calvert-Lewin for me I love him.
      “I’ve watched a lot of Everton this year and he’s one that unnerves defenders. He’s not one you want to play against week in, week out. He’s aggressive, he attacks the ball. 
      “I think he’d be a fantastic signing for Manchester United. It’s one out of left field a little bit but I think he’d have a big impact.

      “He’d get on the end of the things created by Fernandes, [Paul] Pogba, Rashford, Greenwood.”
      United face competition from Arsenal for Calvert-Lewin.
      And as revealed by SunSport, Real Madrid could also swoop for the former Sheffield United striker as Carlo Ancelotti eyes a £50million reunion.
      Calvert-Lewin is currently on international duty with the Three Lions at Euro 2020.
      He came on as an 89th-minute sub in the opener against Croatia but has not featured since, and did not even make the bench for the Germany win.

      Another player who has struggled for game time at the tournament is Jadon Sancho – but the pair could end up as team-mates at club level next season.
      United are on the brink of completing a transfer for the Borussia Dortmund winger for £73m plus add-ons.
      New Everton manager Rafa Benitez faces a tough task in his first summer at Goodison Park.
      Not only is he trying to win over the fanbase after his ‘small club’ insult, the Spaniard risks seeing his squad torn apart – with 13 players already released as free agents.
      As well as Calvert-Lewin’s potential exit, the club look certain to lose Colombian superstar James Rodriguez with AC Milan, Atletico Madrid and Napoli keen.
      And the future of Brazilian attacker Richarlison is also in doubt following Ancelotti’s shock departure.

      Declan Rice REJECTS two West Ham contract offers as he holds out on Man Utd or Chelsea transfer

      by

      DECLAN RICE has rejected two contract offers from West Ham.And that has sparked summer transfer interest from admirers Chelsea and Manchester United.

      Rice, 22, is tied down at the London Stadium until 2024 with the option of an extra year.
      But the Hammers understandably want to tie down the £100million-rated midfielder to a longer, improved deal.
      And according to The Telegraph, they will table more offers for Rice to try and convince him to commit his future to the club he joined aged 14.
      However, the England international wants to hear what options he has away from East London this summer.
      Further reports add the money on offer would still see Rice paid less than Andriy Yarmolenko and what Javier Hernandez was on while he could earn significantly more elsewhere.
      Although Champions League football and silverware are more driving factors than money, West Ham must pay Rice as much as his talent and influence deserves or risk losing him.
      Chelsea, who released Rice immediately before he joined the West Ham academy in 2014, are keen to make a swoop.
      Frank Lampard wanted to bring him in a year ago but the club spent big money on the likes of Timo Werner and Kai Havertz instead.
      The information about Rice is true. This is because the contract offers have been below what Yarmolenko is currently on, what Hernandez was on and other well paid players. For the player to stay at the club and turn down big moves the pay needs to reflect his ability— ExWHUemployee (@ExWHUemployee) July 1, 2021

      Thomas Tuchel also likes the midfielder and a deal would see the former Blues youngster reunited with best-mate Mason Mount at Stamford Bridge.
      United, meanwhile, would rival Chelsea for his signature as they try and bolster their midfield department.
      Rice gets on well with skipper Harry Maguire and Jesse Lingard, who shone on loan at West Ham last season, could be used as a makeweight in any potential deal.
      United have been linked with a £60m transfer in the past but West Ham would likely demand more than that.
      Rice, though, wants to be told of any formal offers and hopes the club who paid nothing for him would be willing to let him go.
      The Hammers vice-captain is currently on international duty at Euro 2020.
      He has formed a strong partnership with Leeds star Kalvin Phillips with a series of impressive displays, especially on Tuesday as England beat Germany to book their spot in the quarter-finals.
