‘DISGRACE’
This is the shock moment that Cristiano Ronaldo booted the captain’s armband seconds after throwing it to the floor after Portugal were dumped out of Euro 2020.
The Juventus striker and former Man United star was obviously fuming after the defending champs were eliminated by Belgium thanks to a Thorgan Hazard thunderbolt.
Ronaldo was seen throwing the blue armband to the turf while Belgium players celebrated reaching the quarter-finals.
And now further footage has emerged of the 36-year-old then launching it with his boot as his frustration boiled over.

CAMA HAVE A GO
Man United are reportedly lining up a move for Rennes wonderkid Eduardo Camavinga.
The Mail claims United will meet the Frenchman’s representatives once they seal a deal for Jadon Sancho.
However, PSG are leading the race for Camavinga, who would prefer to stay in France.

KO BLOW
David De Gea is out of Spain’s Euro 2020 last 16 clash with Croatia.
The Manchester United goalkeeper was injured in training ahead of today’s showdown.
De Gea, 30, took part in the session at Copenhagen’s Parken Stadium yesterday.
But he was forced out of the training drills with what is believed to be a thigh injury.

JA PAY DAY
Jadon Sancho looks set to become Manchester United’s second-highest earner, writes JOSHUA JONES.
The England winger, 21, is closing in on a mega transfer from Borussia Dortmund.
The two clubs are finalising an agreement on the 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.
‘I’M SURE HE KNOWS THE PLAYERS’
Marcus Rashford has backed England team-mate Jadon Sancho to make an impact against Germany.
The Man Utd-linked winger Sancho currently plays in the Bundesliga for Borussia Dourtmund.
And tomorrow he’ll be facing some familiar faces when England take on Germany at Wembley.
Rashford said: “In a way, yes, because he’s played a lot of football against them, more than the rest of us.
“I’m sure he knows the players, their characteristics, strengths and weaknesses and he’s definitely someone that can exploit them.
“If one thing doesn’t quite work we have a big opportunity to change things and adapt in the game.
“Adaptability is one of the biggest skills in football and there’s a lot of times in a game where you have to change or tweak something slightly to hurt your opponents.
“The fact that he’s played against them a lot, he’s hurt them a lot as well, it will be a big factor for us.”

TROPHY HUNTING
Will Man Utd add any trophies to the cabinet this season?

VARANE STUMBLING BLOCK
Raphael Varane wants to join Man Utd, but his wages appear to be a problem.
According to the Independent, the 28-year-old wants to pick up an eye-watering £400,000 a week.
And it will cost upwards of £50m to even tempt Real Madrid to sell the four-time Champions League winner.
PSG are also an option for Varane, but he has his sights set on the Premier League.
BARTHEZ’S BIRTHDAY
Former Man Utd goalkeeper Fabien Alain Barthez is celebrating his 50th birthday today!

KING’S LANDING
Liverpool are reportedly weighing up a bid to sign Kingsley Coman from Bayern Munich this summer, writes SUNNI UPAL.
The Reds are lining up the French winger as a replacement for Divock Origi and to boost their forward options.
Coman, 25, is out of contract next summer and Bayern are said to be keen on extending his stay.
But the German giants also face losing him on a free in 2023 if a new deal can’t be agreed.
And Sport1 in Germany report that Liverpool have started talks with his representatives to rival interest from Manchester United.
Bayern would reportedly accept around £43m for Coman, who is reported to be seeking a new challenge.
LIVERPOOL EYE BAUMGARTNER
Liverpool are interested in 21-year-old Hoffenheim midfielder Christoph Baumgartner, according to reports.
Baumgartner has impressed at Euro 2020 for Austria scoring the winning goal in the Group C game against Ukraine, which ensured a second-placed finish. 
According to German outlet Kicker, both Liverpool and Man Utd are keeping an eye on the midfielder.
But Baumgartner recently signed a new deal at Hoffenheim keeping him at the club until 2025 – giving the Bundesliga club some bargaining power.
NEW DEAL
Jesse Lingard is expected to be offered a new deal, which would keep him at Man Utd.
The 28-year-old has just one year left on his current deal, and has been heavily linked with a move to West Ham.
Lingard found his form whilst on loan at the Hammers, scoring nine goals and providing four assists in just 16 Premier League games.
And his fine form helped West Ham qualify for the Europa League.
But a new deal could end the Hammers’ pursuit of Lingard, and according to The Star, a new three-year deal is being prepared.

TITLE WINNERS
Man Utd have won the most Premier League’s, will they add another to the trophy cabinet this season?

EYES ON THE PRIZE
Paul Pogba has his sights on European glory with France.

DON STOP ME NOW
Manchester United have been given a clear path to Jadon Sancho as Borussia Dortmund were given the green light to sign Donyell Malen as his replacement, writes JOSHUA JONES.
The Red Devils are desperate to land a right winger in the summer window with Sancho their priority.
As revealed by SunSport, the England star, 21, is closing in on a five-year deal worth £350,000 per week at Old Trafford.
Sancho has reportedly told Three Lions team-mates he is making the switch.
And according to the Mirror, the move has taken another step closer as Dortmund continue their search for someone to fill his boots in Germany. 
And they have settled on  PSV Eindhoven and Holland sensation Malen.
HIGHEST EARNERS
Paul Pogba could leapfrog De Gea at the top of Man Utd’s highest earners IF he signs a new contract.
But the Frenchman is attracting interest from Spain.

NIC HIM
Man Utd are interested in signing River Plate star Nicolas De La Cruz, according to reports.
The tricky winger has just 18 months left on his current deal and is attracting interest from a host of European clubs.
River Plate are believed to want between £13.75m-£17m for De La Cruz, according to TNT Sports Argentina.
The 24-year-old has received recognition for this fine form, which has seen him score 19 goals and 28 assists in 128 games for River Plate – earning himself eight caps for Uruguay.
De La Cruz – if he was to join United – would link up with fellow-countryman Edinson Cavani and Facundo Pellistri.

CAM TO MANCHESTER
Man Utd are interested in signing French teenage wonderkid Eduardo Camavinga, according to reports.
According to the Daily Mail, United plan to make contact with the Frenchman’s representatives this week.
Camavinga only has one year left on his current deal.
And the midfielder could be tempted to leave Rennes for a new challenge abroad.
However, Man Utd aren’t the only team interested in Camavinga.
French giants Paris Saint-Germain are also interested in Camavinga, and offer a good alternative to moving abroad.

MORNING, UNITED FANS
Jadon Sancho has reportedly told his Borussia Dortmund team-mates he will definitely join Manchester United this summer.
It’s also claimed United could offload striker Anthony Martial and midfielder Donny van de Beek after the Euros.
SunSport revealed earlier this month that England Sancho has agreed a five-year, £350,000-a-week deal.
But there is still wrangling over the fee of around £80million plus add-ons.
Meanwhile, boss Ole Gunnar Solskjaer is said to have been unhappy with Martial’s attitude, while Van de Beek had a timid first season after arriving from Ajax.
West Ham loan star Jesse Lingard is tipped for a new three-year United contract.
The England midfielder, 28, just missed out on Gareth Southgate’s 26-man Euros squad after nine goals in 16 games for the Hammers.
And United target Marcos Llorente admits ‘anything can happen’ over his future but insists he is happy at the Spanish champions
The Spain midfielder told AS: “I have many years left (on my contract). My idea is to stay, I’m fine, I’m happy at Atletico Madrid.”
United are also being linked with a move for Rennes midfielder Eduardo Camavinga, 18.
SHAW: JOSE OBSESSED WITH ME
Luke Shaw has accused his ex-Manchester United boss Jose Mourinho of being obsessed with him.
The England defender, preparing for Tuesday’s Euro 2020 last-16 clash with Germany, is stunned he is still being criticised by his former boss at Manchester United.
Mourinho criticised Shaw for his “dramatically bad” and “poor” set-pieces in the 1-0 win over Czech Republic.
Shaw, 25, said: “There is no hiding that we didn’t get on. It is time to move on. I am trying to move on but, obviously, he can’t.
“Hopefully he can find his peace with that and finally move and stop worrying about me. Clearly I am in his head a lot and he clearly thinks about me a lot.
“I don’t really understand it, to be honest. I don’t know why he is still going on and wanting to point at me. I don’t feel like the set pieces were as bad as he was saying.
“Look, he has got to do his job. He has got his opinion. I am used to him saying negative stuff about me now, so I just pass it by.
“I leave it be, I ignore it. I just focus on what the coaching staff say here, what Gareth says and that’s that, really.”
SOME-VING SPECIAL
Rennes wonderkid Eduardo Camavinga is reportedly on Manchester United’s summer wishlist.
That is according to the Daily Mail, who claim United will battle Premier League rivals Arsenal for Camavinga.
The Red Devils are closing in on top target Jadon Sancho and are already thinking ahead.
However, the talented French midfielder has also attracted interest from Real Madrid and Paris Saint-Germain.

But Old Trafford boss Ole Gunnar Solskjaer will not offload frontline players unless he gets a decent price.
That’s the claim from the Mail On Sunday as United prepare for a major summer shake-up.

KEANE CHEEKY DIG AT GUNNERS
Roy Keane heaped praise on Bukayo Saka but also aimed criticism at Arsenal while doing so.
The ITV pundit was discussing Saka, 19, alongside Ian Wright, who applauded Saka’s “glorious pace”.

And former Manchester United star Keane was equally as complimentary towards the youngster.
But he could ignore old rivalries, bashing Arsenal in his assessment of Saka.
In ITV’s pre-match coverage of Belgium vs Portgual, Keane said: “He’s been playing well in a poor Arsenal team.”
But Keane is accurate in his view, as the Gunners underperformed last season, finishing the campaign without a trophy.
Mikel Arteta’s side finished eighth in the Premier League and perhaps the most disappointing moment came in the Europa League semi-final exit to Villareal.
And despite their problems Saka still shone, scoring seven and assisting ten goals in all competitions.
JADED SANCHO SAGA
Old Trafford legend Gary Neville says Jadon Sancho (apparently) joining United is the most boring transfer saga he’s ever known – and many on social media agree.

The latest news seems to be Borussia Dortmund’s England attacker edging near an £80million move on a five-year deal, perhaps next month.
But it’s been more than a year since the move first appeared likely.
And it’s even been suggested United fans will have sprouted beards akin to some of football’s most famous hairy faces, like ex-Wolves boss Nuno Espirito Santo.

LLORENTE: ANYTHING CAN HAPPEN
Manchester United target Marcos Llorente has opened up over his future and admitted ‘anything can happen’.
The Red Devils are known to be huge admirers of the Atletico Madrid star, having first targeted the Spain midfielder in January 2020.

The 26-year-old scored 12 goals and provided 11 assists as Diego Simeone’s side won the LaLiga title last season.
His fine form hasn’t gone unnoticed, and United were reportedly set to turn their interest into a formal offer in March.
United were previously linked with launching a £68million bid ahead of Euro 2020.
Llorente, who has three years left on his deal at the Wanda Metropolitano, has hinted that he is prepared to stay in Spain.
But in an interview with AS, the Spanish international added that ‘anything’ can happen in football’.
He said: “I have many years left (on my contract). My idea is to stay, I’m fine, I’m happy at Atletico Madrid.
“We have had a great season winning La Liga. Anything can happen in football, but I don’t think about that kind of thing. I am happy and now I am with the national team.
SANCHO: I’M A BIG GAME PLAYER
Manchester United target has told boss Gareth Southgate he DOES have the major tournament experience to be let off the leash for England.
Southgate suggested Sancho was only on the fringes of his plans because he was playing in his first international tournament.

But the 21-year-old claims three years of Champions League football with Borussia Dortmund shows he can be trusted at the top level – and says he is desperate to be let loose on a Germany side he knows well.
Sancho said: “To be fair, I feel like because I’ve been playing Champions League in the last three years, I feel like that’s a major tournament. I know what it takes.
“Game by game it’s always going to be tough, especially when you proceed to the next rounds, and that experience alone has helped me.
“Coming to another tournament I just see it as just like another Champions League.”

JADON ‘TOLD DORTMUND PALS HE’S OFF TO UTD’
Borussia Dortmund ace Jadon Sancho has told his England team-mates that he’s ‘heading to Old Trafford’, according to reports.
SunSport revealed earlier this month that Sancho has agreed a five-year, £350,000-a-week deal to join Manchester United.
According to Tom McDermott, Sancho has confirmed to his Three Lions mates that he’s definitely off to United.
He adds that the deal is ‘practically done’ and that issues over add-ons have been ‘ironed out’
FOFANA’S A REAL OPTION TO REPLACE VARANE
Leicester centre-back Wesley Fofana has emerged as a target for Real Madrid to replace Raphael Varane should Manchester United sign the Frenchman.
The 20-year-old starred in his debut season in England after joining the Foxes in a £36.5million deal from Saint-Etienne last year.
Fofana featured 38 times under Brendan Rodgers as he helped Leicester finish fifth in the Premier League while also proving instrumental in their FA Cup-winning run.
And according to Fichajes, he could be on his way out of the King Power Stadium with Carlo Ancelotti said to be eyeing a swoop for the youngster.
However they state the potential move depends on whether Los Blancos sell Varane, with the World Cup winner heavily linked with a switch to Old Trafford.
It has been claimed that the four-time Champions League winner, 28, is keen on linking up with the Red Devils.
Varane has just one year left on his contract in Spain and it remains to be seen whether he will follow Sergio Ramos out the door this summer.

MAKE WAY
England and Manchester United record goalscorer Wayne Rooney has shared some advice for Three Lions boss Gareth Southgate ahead of Tuesday’s clash with Germany.
Rooney wrote in his column at The Times: “After all my championing of Jack Grealish, I wouldn’t play him from the start against Germany.
“‘He was one of England’s better players against the Czech Republic and it is not that my opinion of him has changed. My thinking is entirely down to how the Germans play. Different opponents demand different approaches and Tuesday’s game is tailor-made for Marcus Rashford — but not Jack.
“Germany play three at the back with a high line and what they try to do is almost suffocate you. They pass side to side, get the ball in wide areas, come back and go all the way out to the other flank, then get balls into the penalty area. And when you win it, they want you to play a pass to feet because that means — with their line pushed right up — they can go and press you high up the pitch.
“The more players you have who want to take the ball to feet, the more they can press, so instead of Jack I’d be looking to have runners either side of Harry Kane. My instruction would be to attack the spaces behind their wing backs when they go forward and make runs down the channels to the sides of their centre backs — especially given Mats Hummels’s problems against pace”
CAMAVINGA AGENT REACTS
Rennes ace Eduardo Camavinga’s agent Jonathan Barnett has hinted that the star midfielder could be among his clients set for a big move amid interest from Manchester United and Arsenal.
Barnett told The Athletic: “It is going to be harder. I’m expecting three or four very big deals of my own that will break a lot of records.
“Hopefully, they’ll come about. For the smaller clubs, I think there won’t be as many transfers. We have some very good players.
“We have probably the best young player in the world in Camavinga. We’ve got [Jack] Grealish. We’ve got [Ibrahima] Konate at Leipzig. But then I’ve got over 100 players”
CAMAVINGA SITUATION
Rennes star Eduardo Camavinga’s agent has hinted that his client could be on the move during this summer transfer window.
Camavinga enjoyed a tremendous campaign in Ligue 1 and has thus attracted interest from some of Europe’s top bidders, such as Manchester United, Arsenal, Real Madrid and Paris Saint-Germain.
Reports suggest the star midfielder will be United manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s transfer priority after Borussia Dortmund star Jadon Sancho signs with the club.
According to The Athletic, the France international’s representative, Jonathan Barnett, who also represents Luke Shaw and other elite players, has hinted that the 18-year-old could be on the move this summer
CAMAVINGA BOOST
Fabrizio Romano claims Arsenal haven’t made an official bid for Rennes star Eduardo Camavinga.
In fact, there has been absolutely no contact between the player and the Gunners.
That works as a boost for Manchester United, who are set to meet up with the midfielder’s reps next week.

FERN BELIEF
Portugal manager Fernando Santos has hinted that Manchester United star Bruno Fernandes could return to the starting line-up against Belgium despite his disappointing performances against Germany and Hungary.
Santos said: “We will play according to our principles. We may change some players. Last match, we changed some things but because we felt that thinking of the opponent, but not just that, and about ourselves.
“We wanted to establish our own pattern. I wanted to bring in new blood to the midfield section. Tomorrow, I don’t think that will be an issue because we have had plenty of rest over the past four days.
“Today [Saturday], we have the last training session, we never know what is going to happen. We don’t know if everyone will be fit”
NEVILLE’S BORE-DON
Gary Neville has had enough of the Jadon Sancho transfer saga…
Neville tweeted: “Manchester United closing in on Sancho. Again!
“A transfer should be a joy and a moment of excitement.
“I’ve never been more bored by a transfer in my life to the point I feel like he’s already signed and I want to know who is next already. Not the lads [sic] fault at all I should say!”

CAMAVINGA UPDATE
Manchester United are going to meet with Rennes player Eduardo Camavinga’s reps next week.
That is according to RMC, who claim United are stepping up their interest for Camavinga after an impressive season in Ligue 1.
That poses as a blow for Arsenal, who have also been keeping tabs on the France international who has been hailed as the “new Patrick Vieira”.

DE-RIBBLE SIGNING
Former Manchester City and Liverpool player Paul Stewart has criticised Donny van de Beek’s debut season at Manchester United.
Stewart told the Transfer Tavern: “Van de Beek has not really proved anything in the Premier League yet, has he?
“I thought when he was coming to United, he was going to be a really great acquisition.
“Normally they come out of Ajax and they’re straight on the scene and they’re great players”
VARANE REPLACEMENT
Manchester United have received a major transfer boost in their bid to sign Real Madrid ace Raphael Varane.
According to Fijaches, Real are preparing for life after Varane, it seems, and have identified Leicester ace Wesley Fofana as a potential replacement.
Manager Carlo Ancelotti was impressed with Fofana during his time in the Premier League while in charge of Everton.
Varane has been linked with a switch to Manchester United and the centre-back is keen on that move
TRANSFER BOOST
Brighton star defender Ben White was linked with Manchester United recently following a string of impressive Premier League performances that led to an England call-up.
United head coach Ole Gunnar Solskjaer is determined to sign a top centre-back to partner up with Harry Maguire at the back.
According to Manchester Evening News, however, the Red Devils were not willing to meet his £50million asking price and are thus focusing their efforts on other defensive targets.
That paves the way for Arsenal to land their man as they are willing to splash the cash for the 23-year-old defender

VARANE UPDATE
Manchester United could face a potential setback in their bid to sign Real Madrid star Raphael Varane.

Barnett told The Athletic: “It is going to be harder. I’m expecting three or four very big deals of my own that will break a lot of records.
“Hopefully, they’ll come about. For the smaller clubs, I think there won’t be as many transfers. We have some very good players.
“We have probably the best young player in the world in Camavinga. We’ve got [Jack] Grealish. We’ve got [Ibrahima] Konate at Leipzig. But then I’ve got over 100 players”
CAMAVINGA SITUATION
Rennes star Eduardo Camavinga’s agent has hinted that his client could be on the move during this summer transfer window.
Camavinga enjoyed a tremendous campaign in Ligue 1 and has thus attracted interest from some of Europe’s top bidders, such as Manchester United, Arsenal, Real Madrid and Paris Saint-Germain.
Reports suggest the star midfielder will be United manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s transfer priority after Borussia Dortmund star Jadon Sancho signs with the club.
According to The Athletic, the France international’s representative, Jonathan Barnett, who also represents Luke Shaw and other elite players, has hinted that the 18-year-old could be on the move this summer
CAMAVINGA BOOST
Fabrizio Romano claims Arsenal haven’t made an official bid for Rennes star Eduardo Camavinga.
In fact, there has been absolutely no contact between the player and the Gunners.
That works as a boost for Manchester United, who are set to meet up with the midfielder’s reps next week.

FERN BELIEF
Portugal manager Fernando Santos has hinted that Manchester United star Bruno Fernandes could return to the starting line-up against Belgium despite his disappointing performances against Germany and Hungary.
Santos said: “We will play according to our principles. We may change some players. Last match, we changed some things but because we felt that thinking of the opponent, but not just that, and about ourselves.
“We wanted to establish our own pattern. I wanted to bring in new blood to the midfield section. Tomorrow, I don’t think that will be an issue because we have had plenty of rest over the past four days.
“Today [Saturday], we have the last training session, we never know what is going to happen. We don’t know if everyone will be fit”
NEVILLE’S BORE-DON
Gary Neville has had enough of the Jadon Sancho transfer saga…
Neville tweeted: “Manchester United closing in on Sancho. Again!
“A transfer should be a joy and a moment of excitement.
“I’ve never been more bored by a transfer in my life to the point I feel like he’s already signed and I want to know who is next already. Not the lads [sic] fault at all I should say!”

CAMAVINGA UPDATE
Manchester United are going to meet with Rennes player Eduardo Camavinga’s reps next week.
That is according to RMC, who claim United are stepping up their interest for Camavinga after an impressive season in Ligue 1.

KOUND NOT HAPPEN
Sevilla have reportedly turned down a €45million (£37m) bid for Jules Kounde.

Stewart told the Transfer Tavern: “Van de Beek has not really proved anything in the Premier League yet, has he?
“I thought when he was coming to United, he was going to be a really great acquisition.
“Normally they come out of Ajax and they’re straight on the scene and they’re great players”
VARANE REPLACEMENT
Manchester United have received a major transfer boost in their bid to sign Real Madrid ace Raphael Varane.
According to Fijaches, Real are preparing for life after Varane, it seems, and have identified Leicester ace Wesley Fofana as a potential replacement.

TRANSFER BOOST
Brighton star defender Ben White was linked with Manchester United recently following a string of impressive Premier League performances that led to an England call-up.

According to Manchester Evening News, however, the Red Devils were not willing to meet his £50million asking price and are thus focusing their efforts on other defensive targets.
That paves the way for Arsenal to land their man as they are willing to splash the cash for the 23-year-old defender

Manchester United could face a potential setback in their bid to sign Real Madrid star Raphael Varane.
That is according to The Independent, who claim Varane’s rumoured £400,000-a-week wage demands are said to be a stumbling block.

The England international said: “It’s either an operation or I don’t get an operation.
“I’m not 100 per cent sure if I need it yet, so I’ll just take it as it comes.
“I’ll finish strong here and I’ve got a few weeks off to just relax and decide what I’m going to do”
RAPH RIDE
Manchester United have had a £50million offer rejected for top summer target Raphael Varane.

Red Devils manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer is determined to sign a top centre-back to partner up with Harry Maguire at the back.
The Manchester giants, though, are said to be keeping tabs on other players, such as Villarreal’s Pau Torres and Real Madrid’s departing captain Sergio Ramos

MORNING, UNITED FANS
United are closer to signing Jadon Sancho – and a little further from recruiting Raphael Varane.
That’s if you believe the latest speculation over long-term target Sancho and this summer’s defensive transfer priority Varane.
It’s suggested Borussia Dortmund’s England wideman Sancho could complete a move for up to £80million next month, with a five-year contract reportedly already agreed.
But there’s talk France centre-back Varane’s wage demands are a huge stumbling block.
The Real Madrid star is thought to want about £400,000 a week.
Everton are in discussions with Juventus to sign United and Arsenal target Merih Demiral, reports say.
And outgoing Old Trafford keeper Sergio Romero is also being linked with the Toffees, as well as Juve and Celta Vigo.
Finally, Tottenham are keeping tabs on Sevilla’s Jules Kounde, one of the central defenders rated as an alternative United recruit to Varane 
 And Barcelona legend Samuel Eto’o thinks the Catalans should sign Real Madrid legend Sergio Ramos, who has also been rated an option for United and PSG.
JADON ‘NEARING’ UTD DEAL
Manchester United are closing in on the signing of Borussia Dortmund ace Jadon Sancho, reports suggest.
According to Manchester Evening News, sources close to Sancho expect the deal to be completed soon, possibly within the next two weeks.
The winger has agreed personal terms in principle and an up-front fee of €85million (£73m) has been settled on.
Dortmund are trying to to extract up to €15m (£13m) in add-ons to complete the deal.
Negotiations are still ongoing regarding the structure of the payments and the majority of the add-ons have been described as ‘achievable
KERR-CHING! FOXES TO PAY UP FOR SMITH
Leicester are ready to meet the asking price for Dundee United’s teenage defender Kerr Smith.
Boss Brendan Rodgers has moved ahead of Aston Villa, Manchester United and Crystal Palace with an offer for the youngster.
Smith, 16, made his debut late last season, having appeared aged 15 in a friendly in August 2020.
He has a clause that means the club must accept a figure of about £500,000 and now it is down to him to decide if he wants to go.
Dundee United had agreed to sell Smith’s team-mate Lewis Neilson to the Foxes — but the 18-year-old said no.
It follows the Foxes snapping up 16-year-old Liverpool midfielder Jack Lewis.
The youngster impressed on trial at Leicester’s academy towards the end of last season.
It is thought Lewis has agreed a free transfer and a two-year scholarship contract from the new season.
SPURRED ON BY A HIRO
Tottenham have set up a £15million swoop for Bologna’s Japanese star Takehiro Tomiyasu.
The Spurs transfer team are lining up the deal with the Italian outfit ahead of a managerial appointment.
And they are confident of landing the highly-rated defender.
Tomiyasu, 22, has been a regular for the Serie A side since 2019 after first playing in Belgium with Sint-Truiden.
He is desperate to come to the Premier League.
Spurs think Tomiyasu would be a top player for them and improve a defence that often struggled last season.
‘BARCA SHOULD SIGN REAL LEGEND RAMOS’
Barcelona legend Samuel Eto’o thinks the Catalans should sign Sergio Ramos this summer.
The Real Madrid legend was released this month after his contract expired and has been linked to Paris Saint-Germain and Manchester United.
But Eto’o, 40, who played for both Spanish giants, is keen for Ramos to do likewise.
As a PSG fan the Cameroonian would also like Ramos to move to Paris, as he believes the Spaniard could help the club to an elusive first Champions League title.
But he also suggested that Barcelona ought to make a move for the 35-year-old.
He told AS: “Hopefully Sergio goes to PSG. If I could sign him for Barca, I would. If he goes to PSG, I will be happy and I know that he will help us win the Champions League, which is proving very difficult for us.”
